32
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: of you was dartling. I believed it. I mean I

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: believed that that the relationship, the way that it just

34
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: developed naturally, it was very well done, very believable. So

35
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: kudos to both of you. Thank you. Yeah, she's I

36
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 1: was very lucky that she was done to improvise and uh,

37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 1: and I was kind of figuring out how I've never

38
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: worked with a with a child actor before, so I

39
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: was trying to as Liam was kind of figuring out

40
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: how to how to kind of be a father of

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: some sort. I was trying to figure out how to

42
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: how to act without me. So it was kind of

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: this uh yeah, there was. I think it. I think

44
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: it made the chemistry good on the screen because I

45
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: was trying to figure it out as I was going off.

46
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 1: So is it true you did not sing before this movie?

47
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 1: Because I thought when I saw it, Okay, this is

48
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,119
Speaker 1: just a really cute, young, hot country singer, and they are,

49
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, using this movie to get how good he

50
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: is out there. And then I'm like, no, no, he's

51
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: he's not. He's not even from the South. He's not

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: even Southern. He's British. And I also, yeah, I've never

53
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: I've never really sung in public before, to be honest,

54
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,399
Speaker 1: this was the first audition I've ever gone to where

55
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: I was actually singing um And yeah, yeah, I was

56
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: kind of a little bit of a closeted singer and

57
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: didn't more we broke that closet door down. But yeah,

58
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: And I was really lucky that I got to work

59
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 1: with this guy called Brett boy Yett who's been in

60
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: the country scene for quite a while, and he really

61
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: showed me who to listen to. I was listening to

62
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: some Ducks Bentley and some Brett eld Rich and I

63
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: listened to a little bit of Chris Stapleton, but realized

64
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: that I definitely couldn't sing like Chris Stapleton. Um and yeah,

65
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: kind of focused more on on on other on other types.

66
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah, I had to work

67
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: really hard to try and sound like I could actually

68
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: sing country. I wish I could tell you that it

69
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: just like came really easily to me, but it didn't.

70
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: It was hard work. It was hard work. And the

71
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: little girl was it hard work for her as well?

72
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Was that really her voice when you two were doing

73
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 1: the duet, Yeah, that was really her voice. Yes, she

74
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,000

75
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: She was she and her voices has incredibly cute too.

76
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: We had a couple of practice sessions together and she

77
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 1: was great on stage. She wasn't like crazy nervous or anything.
