You know, he's got quite a fast mind I think, in amongst all the heartbreak and other stuff that he's experiencing, he is quite a funny guy. So (2) ………….. lot of fun to do that. Yeah, I think your career's definitely up there with Michael Fassbender's for instance. Oh well, I don't think... I kind of.. I've always admired, the choices he makes and the changes he makes, so yeah hopefully I can be like that. Yeah definitely. (3) ………….. you're making the rom-com cool again? Because there's definitely that... The theme running through it is that it's acceptable to like it, if (4) ………….. I mean by that. Right, well that's the thing. I mean, (5) ………….. .

Cool. Your Mexican fans wanted you to have this. Oh yeah. Yeah yeah yeah. (9) ………….. to show that up? This is me in a sombrero. You're suited. Do you like it?
