<v Speaker 1>I really appreciate that. You are absolutely adorable. I I

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 1>just my little heart went pitter pat as I watched

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:38.160
<v Speaker 1>the movie. And what is the name of the little girl,

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>the actress that played your daughter in the movie. Her

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.880
<v Speaker 1>name is Wright a fourth to them, and she is

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>She's incredible. She's so funny, and yeah, she's so smart.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, you know when you find a kid that's like,

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>she's eight years old, but she's she's like, I feel

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>like she's smarter than me, and I feel like I

0:01:57.880 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>can't let her know. And the energy between the two

0:02:01.720 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>of you was dartling. I believed it. I mean I

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:10.160
<v Speaker 1>believed that that the relationship, the way that it just

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>developed naturally, it was very well done, very believable. So

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.880
<v Speaker 1>kudos to both of you. Thank you. Yeah, she's I

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:21.600
<v Speaker 1>was very lucky that she was done to improvise and uh,

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 1>and I was kind of figuring out how I've never

0:02:24.120 --> 0:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>worked with a with a child actor before, so I

0:02:26.720 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>was trying to as Liam was kind of figuring out

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.200
<v Speaker 1>how to how to kind of be a father of

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 1>some sort. I was trying to figure out how to

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.920
<v Speaker 1>how to act without me. So it was kind of

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.359
<v Speaker 1>this uh yeah, there was. I think it. I think

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.480
<v Speaker 1>it made the chemistry good on the screen because I

0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 1>was trying to figure it out as I was going off.

0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>So is it true you did not sing before this movie?

0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>Because I thought when I saw it, Okay, this is

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:58.119
<v Speaker 1>just a really cute, young, hot country singer, and they are,

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, using this movie to get how good he

0:03:01.919 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 1>is out there. And then I'm like, no, no, he's

0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>he's not. He's not even from the South. He's not

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.720
<v Speaker 1>even Southern. He's British. And I also, yeah, I've never

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I've never really sung in public before, to be honest,

0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 1>this was the first audition I've ever gone to where

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>I was actually singing um And yeah, yeah, I was

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:23.919
<v Speaker 1>kind of a little bit of a closeted singer and

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.519
<v Speaker 1>didn't more we broke that closet door down. But yeah,

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.560
<v Speaker 1>And I was really lucky that I got to work

0:03:30.560 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>with this guy called Brett boy Yett who's been in

0:03:33.080 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the country scene for quite a while, and he really

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:38.280
<v Speaker 1>showed me who to listen to. I was listening to

0:03:38.320 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>some Ducks Bentley and some Brett eld Rich and I

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>listened to a little bit of Chris Stapleton, but realized

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:49.400
<v Speaker 1>that I definitely couldn't sing like Chris Stapleton. Um and yeah,

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of focused more on on on other on other types.

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, yeah, yeah, I yeah, I had to work

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>really hard to try and sound like I could actually

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>sing country. I wish I could tell you that it

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>just like came really easily to me, but it didn't.

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>It was hard work. It was hard work. And the

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 1>little girl was it hard work for her as well?

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Was that really her voice when you two were doing

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the duet, Yeah, that was really her voice. Yes, she

0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>learned how to she learned how to play the banjo.

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>She was she and her voices has incredibly cute too.

0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.359
<v Speaker 1>We had a couple of practice sessions together and she

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:30.360
<v Speaker 1>was great on stage. She wasn't like crazy nervous or anything.

0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.479
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it was it was a good bonding experience

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:37.599
<v Speaker 1>for us to to learn the song together. Well, yeah,

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:42.360
