lol hi again

wow it's been like years, hello friends, down the rabbit hole we go

[timotay-chalamet]

The day we shot the scenes where Connell breaks down was really quiet – 95% of the time the set was fun but that day everyone was being respectful of what we were about to do. Then when we started filming, I struggled to get to the place the scene required. I wasn’t connecting with the story. At lunchtime, instead of eating I lay upstairs and put earphones in and was like, ‘Don’t fuck this up.’ I still couldn’t do it, I couldn’t get to the point where I broke down in front of the counsellor. I suppose what I was feeling was the pressure to deliver what is a reality for so many people. I wanted so desperately for it to feel authentic to an audience. Before the next take I said to myself, ‘Just fucking do it.’ And it happened. It felt brutal. It felt awful. They called cut and I was still bawling. When I got home I had a little red mark on my finger because for the whole day I was scratching at it. My whole body was really sore. I didn’t sleep well that night
