[limelightstevens]

Yeah, I live for a bit of variety, I couldn't be somebody who does the same sort of thing with every role. Hats off to those that can do that, it's just not for me. It depends on the project, when it is, how long it is, that kind of thing. I don't like taking them out of school, it's good for them to have that consistency, so they tend to come with me if it's during their holidays or only for a week or so here and there if it's term time. But mostly if I'm filming away, they're with their mum. Some of those longer shoots without them can be tough, but it's my decision to take those jobs, I should be the one to deal with the consequences, and I'm alright with that.

[brandonblvd]

No, I wouldn't be able to do that either. It's more fun to try different parts and not be remembered for just doing one genre. The ones that do are good at it and if they're comfortable in that position then good for them. But that's not me. Alright, I get that. Don't want to take their education from them. There's always home schooling but that always sits bad with me. You want them to have that experience in school, making friends for life and all that. But at least they can join you in their holidays, I'm sure they love that. Luckily there's something out there like facetime as that does help, being able to still see them and speak to them when you can't be around. I will be experiencing that too soon now that my girlfriend told me she's pregnant.

[agrcndes]

thank you so much! i had a show in austin so that was the most of what i did but was able to sneak in a good dinner with some friends, too. how about you? you're right about that. they'll take it for all its worth and even try to push it further than it needs to, too. i hope you're right.

[brandonblvd]

that's nice though, sharing your birthday with a lot of your fans. that's good that you managed to at least have some time with your friends too. uhm, i just had a nice day with my girlfriend and i may have got the best present ever from her. yeah, they're just trying to milk it. but i doubt it'll be as successful as the toy itself. hype's over. there are other things people are more excited about now.

[travskelces]

what? i honestly thought they would've called you by now and that you'd already be sitting there reading the script, now i'm disappointed. if there were anything i could do about it, believe me, i would! but i don't think i have much influence in that department. still, it feels like one of those things that should've happened already, the casting just makes sense in my head and now you've got me wondering what they're waiting for.

[brandonblvd]

no man, don't think my name is going around anymore these days. there are a couple of other actors up for it i think. would've loved having the script but who knows, maybe something else will pop up. just like marvel, dc has a lot of characters. thanks man, appreciate it. i feel honoured that you think i'd be perfect for that role. glad i got your support. i think they're just trying to look for the perfect one and it might take a while. they have to compete with marvel so they have to do it right. although, i wouldn't have mind it if they just chose robert pattinson for the part as i actually liked his batman a lot. now back to you, do you have an ambition to do more movies? i've seen happy gilmore 2. and grotesque.

[limelightgosling]

You're damn right, man, moms are incredible, they really are. Trust me, saying no to them is already the hardest thing in the world. I want them to stay humble and not feel like they can get anything they ask for, they've gotta have a little bit of drive to make stuff happen themselves, you know what I mean? It's a tough balance. I don't think I'll get it all right, but luckily I've got a parenting partner who always knows exactly how to deal with them. Eva is so much better at saying no, I don't know where that strength comes from. Actually, I do, because she got it from her mom. You don't mess with Cuban moms.

[brandonblvd]

Moms truly are incredible, going to agree with you on that. Yeah, I completely get what you mean. You want them to learn how to get things for themselves, how to work for it instead of just having it land in their laps like that. You want them to be independent. I mean, I guess when they're kids, you can still give them things but as they grow, you need to teach them a couple of lessons and even let them make mistakes so they can learn from that too. You know, you're just human, you also make mistakes and it happens. I think it's just being a mom that gives you more authority or something. I guess I'll find out too what it's like in a couple of years. Latino mom? Oh man, the arguements in the house must be fire. Is he also the type that would just take off her shoe and threaten to throw it or slap you with it?

[hayleyfm]

I'm okay with taking it somewhat easy because I've still got another tour that I've got to work on. So there's a bit of work that I've got to do there. I know that I'm going to be entertained because I've loved watching you do your thing on set before. I think most people who tour, especially when they're doing it for a couple of months... end up getting sick. Even if they're not the singer. Lucky for us that you're not going to catch my sickness... even if you helped get me there in the first place. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to be getting up for you at 4am unless this baby decides that it's a good time to make me feel poorly. I love you but I also love my sleep. Plus it means that I'll be more energized when you get home. Yeah, I think it's a nice memento... not just from tour but from our first months as a couple. Something nice to look back on. Our lives are going to change over the next few months... so enjoying us is something that I'm really going to embrace. Being with you has been the happiest I've been in a long while.

[brandonblvd]

You're just making sure you stay very busy. But I love this for you, that you already got another tour lined up. That means I got to be that supportive boyfriend again and travel along with you, if I'm not filming at the time. I guess I just don't have that outsider perspective on things and just assume it's a bit boring watching actors do their scenes. Hmm, I can only imagine. Being on the road for so long, being stuck with the same people all day, it happens. And I just need to make sure that you are drinking enough tea with honey or something with ginger in it as those things tend to help a sore throat. I will take full responsibility for that. Don't think this sickness will go away that easily. You know, I'll gladly wake up along with you if the baby is making you feel poorly. We're in this together and I'll do everything in my power to help you with everything. It's very sweet that you're doing that. Oh, I know they are. I can't wait to find out what weird cravings you're going to get. I'm glad you feel that way, babe. All I want to do is make you happy.

[phoebebfm]

imsg | brandon

Phoebe: i just got off the phone with hayley, catching up w/ her because you're both finally back stateside. and she told me the news. congrats, buddy. how're you feeling about it all? going to be a dad?? big news!! i'm happy for you both. @brandonblvd

[brandonblvd]

Brandon: yeah sorry that i've taken up so much of her time. now that she's back, you two can always have a little girls' night or something. i'm sure she'd love that. Brandon: thanks phee, i couldn't be happier. i did say that in the future i'd love to be a dad. it's sooner than i thought but that's all good. i'm a little nervous.

[glenxpowell]

❛ Serious question, though — we both shared a co-star… not in the same movie, but somehow we both ended up making headlines with them. At this point, does that make us honorary members of some elite brother-husbands club… kinda like sister-wives, but way cooler. Because I feel like there should at least be matching jackets, a secret handshake, and an annual retreat where we sit around a fire and unpack the absolute chaos of celebrity rumor mills together. ❜

[brandonblvd]

It's a shame that it wasn't in the same movie. Would've loved the chance to work with you. Hmm, that does sound way cooler than sister-wives and I'm so up for having jackets created and think of some kind of handshake. This just needs to be a thing now. We could just do the retreat no matter what. Always nice to get away for a couple of days from our busy schedules.

[anthonykellyp]

I feel like since I'm doing the sequel to The Housemaid I need to ask you for tips, especially when it comes to working with the ladies. I've always wanted to work with Amanda, so that's like a dream come true for me, and I'm excited about getting to work with Kirsten Dunst as well, since she was added to the movie as well. But did you have a good time when you filmed the first one? Did you like being part of the set? // @brandonblvd

[brandonblvd]

I saw that. Congrats on joining that cast. Oh, the ladies are amazing. Especially Amanda. She's so good and very professional, but when the cameras stop rolling, she's just this very sweet, excited, fun person. I really liked working with her. You'll love her and she's so welcoming to new people. I'm a little jealous that you get to work with Kirsten. I'm sure that will be quite the experience. I did have a good time filming the first one. It was very different than all the roles I did before that. It was fun playing that type of character. And as for tips... I'd say just go along whenever the ladies as you to create a new TikTok or Instagram video. It's hard to say no to them.

[nicole-ekidman]

Oh, that's such a thoughtful thing to say. I do feel incredibly lucky that I still genuinely love what I do. Every project asks something different of you, and that's what keeps it exciting. The moment it stops feeling like a challenge is probably the moment I'd need to rethink everything. I know exactly what you mean about fans getting excited. I wish I could tell you more, but keeping secrets is part of the job. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before everyone gets to see it. I think it'll be worth the wait. And goodness, trusting your girlfriend with your hair was a brave decision. At least her hairstylist friend was able to rescue it! Hair has such a funny way of changing how you see yourself. I love changing my hair and apparently i am the queen of wigs. Iron Jane sounds fascinating. I have so much respect for actors who transform themselves physically for a role because it takes an incredible amount of discipline. And Eiza is wonderfully talented, so I'm sure she's marvelous in it. But don't sell yourself short—you can have an extraordinary co-star and still give a performance that people remember. I hope you're proud of what you've created. I can't wait to see it.

[brandonblvd]

It's just the truth. That is true. If you keep doing the same things then it can get boring but if you challenge yourself to do different genres and all, it keeps things interesting. No, your right, you can't tell me anything because then it also wouldn't be fun anymore to go see it. I'll just wait like everyone else until it's released. The trailer already looks good so I don't doubt that it's going to be a fun watch. Well, she's the type to change her hair a lot so I had faith in her. Dyeing hair is more her thing. Hair does a lot for people. I've noticed that now. It can make you look like such a different person. You are. Don't think I've ever seen a project of yours where your hair was the same as in another project. Always different. She's been amazing. I've been helping her out a little bit as some days aren't so easy for her so I try to help her any way I can. It's not only a physical transformation but it also does something to you mentally. It's been interesting but very proud of it.

[infinitichvse]

do you have a favorite kind of beer? i'm an ipa sort of person if i ever do drink beers, but i also like the occasional corona. you're so right about that, not sure if the headache is ever worth it. i've got some things in the works that i can't exactly share yet! but the testaments is really my focus right now.

[brandonblvd]

i'm more of a stella kind of guy. but i can enjoy an ipa or a corona or whatever else there is. no, definitely not and god knows how many headache's i've had because of it. but i guess when you get older, you get a little more cautious. alright, fair enough. sounds very intriguing. i've seen that, it's so good.

[bpalvinfms]

when i was 13 i moved out to japan to start my career out there so that will always hold a speical place in my heart. i love asia in general, it is sucha a cool place. london is also always fun. it is great when you can get time to see a place you are working in, i know it's not always the case for me. no, no. that is asking for a headache. what is the new movie?

[brandonblvd]

wow, you were only 13? damn, that's crazy. that must've been so overwhelming for you. i can't imagine what that must've been like. japan is pretty fun, not going to lie. first time i went there, i had such a culture shock. but you're right, asia is amazing and i hope that one day i get the chance to explore more countries there. no, is it like do your thing and go to the next place for you most of the time? oh, it's called Iron Jane. it's a female bodybuilding story.

[ebaderfms]

i get that. i grew up in a house full of sports fans but i played soccer in school and loved it so much, i had to join a team and it was for sure my favorite growing up. you know, i wish someone had told me that at 9. would be great to be retired by now. it was a lot, not like me at all but i survived. now i am still being good, but i can have a little more fun with food. i did get to rest for a little bit, now i am back working again.

[brandonblvd]

then i'm sure that they were glad that you decided to also play a sport. i know that soccer is very popular with the little kids. i've been to a few games of the kids of some friends of mine. i know, right? retire when you're in your thirties and you've earned enough money so that you don't have to do anything else for the rest of your life. although, wouldn't trade what i get to do now though for it. good, because sometimes you just need that one day where you can just eat whatever you want. a day like that can feel so good. back to work already? busy bee.

[travskelces]

the question everyone wants answered - are we getting you as the next batman or not? am i about to see you lurking around gotham in a cape or do i need to stop getting my hopes up?

[brandonblvd]

i don't know if you're going to like this answer but if i have to be completely honest with you, i haven't had a call or anything from the DCU headquarters or James Gunn for that matter. but i have shown my interest so we'll see. it would be pretty cool to lurk around gotham in a cape, not going to lie. lot's of names are going around these days.

[limelightgosling]

Yeah, I believe it. You have nice eyes. Eyes tell everything about a person. Definitely a momma's boy, I get on so well with her. Grew up surrounded by girlies, so I've always thought of myself more like one, or at least being able to understand them a lot better. Which is useful when you're raising two daughters, I can tell you.

[brandonblvd]

Thanks, I'll take that as a huge compliment, especially coming from you. Just got to give our moms all the praise. We became the men that we are thanks to them. Got to give my dad a little credit too. That makes sense and honestly, I think it must be pretty nice to understand girls and women as they're still a mystery to me sometimes. Two daughters, huh? Oh man, that's going to be so tough when they get into their teenage years. I'm sure it won't be easy to deny them something.

[agrcndes]

i had no idea until today that we shared a birthday. only the best on the day and so very happy belated birthday to you. a movie?? oh god. i mean i can't say i'm surprised but i don't think it needs a movie at all. it seems like all those types of trendy moments get more than they need.

[brandonblvd]

and i had no idea until you just told me. that is pretty cool, not going to lie. thank you and a very happy belated birthday to you too. did you do something fun for it? yeah, not that surprised either because whenever something turns into a hype, they will just keep milking it. no, it doesn't. especially since the whole hype around them has died down already and i don't think a movie will make it alive again.

[arjonaadriaahhhh]

Not you living the rock star life without being a rock star. It's kind of unfair, actually... says I, who's done the same before... But anywayyyyys.

Are you excited about getting back to work? By the way, you and Hayley should totally visit me at Paso Robles so you can ride my tractor, Fifi. She's my pride and joy.

[brandonblvd]

I know, right? Now I know what it's like. I mean, I do have my guitar and play whenever I'm in the comfort of my own home, but now I've seen what life on the road is like. Did you now? And who was that with?

I am, yeah. It'll be fun to get back to a set. I can always ask her. i'm sure she'd be down to hang out. You got a tractor? I have to say that you keep surprising me here. Didn't take you for a farm life kind of woman.

[hayleyfm]

Of course I want to join you on set. You've been so supportive of me with my work so I want to do the same with you. Plus... I've grown way too used to waking up next to you every day. Or sometimes in the middle of the night when my stomach as decided it wants to play up. Tour sickness has finally struck. I'm just glad it's near the end. Just hoping you don't end up sick, too. The traveling can't be easy on your body, either. We'll be there, babe. Us being in the same place doesn't mean I have to be on set every day cause I know you've got a job to do and it's very different from being a musician. Longer hours. So... anything I can do to make life easier - I'll happily do so. Are you kidding? I've loved every bouquet you've got me. The gifts from fans are lovely but the fact you've gone and got them for me? It means a lot. I've saved at least one flower from each one. I'm going to preserve them. A nice memento from my first solo tour. I love them. I love you. Mhm - maybe. It's not something we have to think about too hard right now. We can just enjoy us for what we are for as long as we like.

[brandonblvd]

Just prepare yourself for some boring hours becaus when I'm on set, there's not much to do for you. Don't think it'll keep being interesting watching me do my thing. It's more boring than watching someone on a stage. Hmm, me too, it's nice waking up to you every morning. I could definitely get used to that. Tour sickness is a real thing? I guess I get it. Having to travel to all those places and then not having a decent night's sleep every night and the singing can also cause a sore throat. It's fine. I can handle it. I don't get sick that often. Uhu, very long hours and sometimes we do start at like 4am or something so that means that you can just stay in bed and stay comfortable. You're doing that? Just one flower from each night and you let it like dry between a book or something? Look at you being all creative. I love you too, babe. I'm glad I went on this tour with you as it's been nice to see you do your thing on stage every few nights. Nah, it'll come naturally. When the time is right. I like that, just enjoy each other for now.
