He was fucking back.
4:56
Yes.
4:57
And it wasn't until we did this scene and he did his own stunt that he turned around and I could tell now he believed in himself.
5:04
And, you know, because it's all he did it.
5:06
You know, we we supported, encouraged and did all of those things.
5:12
things on an emotional level but he did the hard work and that is the thing and he did the work of you know playing the character and digging deep and all of those things and when you see you can say anything you want but if the other person doesn't believe it it's just you know it doesn't feel the same but when you see he turned around after this stunt and you could see that okay yeah I'm back and

125:36
So there's no simple solution to any of this.
125:40
And, you know, governments I know have all sorts of priorities, and this is, I hope, one of them.
