'I'd hear about, I'd seen some pictures.
She'd told me through the world of the film, but not the whole story. And I thought the movie in the first 10, 15 pages was, I'd say it's a genre film. I understand. I'm playing like a Sam Spade, Bogart-type character. Here we go.'
The X-Men star continued: 'And then I'm like, "Oh, hang on. Oh, oh, that's cool. Oh no, it's sci-fi. Oh, it's a romance. No, it's a thriller!" And it kept going all over the place. And it's just so unique and different.
And بازدید اینستاگرام I love that for audiences. And for me, it was a screaming 'Yes', an easy one.'
Hugh had to fight underwater in Lisa Joy's movie and admits that he 'learned a lot' from the challenging scenes.

The Greatest Showman actor shared: 'There's some really nice, long shots that she liked to do.
Sort of 'Old Boy'-style, long shots of action down the corridor. That's hard. That took a lot of choreography and a lot of work.
'And then all the underwater stuff, the stuff I had never done before. I didn't think, I can't think of ever doing it before.
But we were, we spent a week on the water doing long takes of being in pianos and chandeliers. It was a very sort of surreal thing. And I really learned a lot from that.'
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the actor's followers went wild as he posted a photo to Instagram wearing a stylish suit for the UK premiere of his latest film Reminiscence.
