Even though I came in, I have only like two little scenes with him, it was incredible to see a star of that magnitude for me coming in and being this random Swedish actress, the way that he was so collaborative.”
About her experience of working with him, she expressed, “He was very, very sweet about, ‘Would you mind if I changed this line? Did you want to run the scenes together?’ Make sure that everyone on the set’s comfortable, making sure that everyone knows his name, that he knows their names.”
