What Sebastian said
During the interaction, Sebastian said, “I would put money down he’s seen it 100 f***ing times, of course, because he’s a narcissist. And I bet you there’s certain things he likes about it… How he looked.”
Speaking about the film and how the arc of his character is developed, the actor added, “He loses his humanity. I guess that’s essentially what happens. As an actor, all you’re trying to do is just look at these very human things and identify with them.”
