“Finger guns!”
“I got to work and I said, ‘So, how do I shoot?'”
the actor remembers asking directorChloe Zhaoon the set ofEternals.
“Chloe was like, ‘Finger guns.’
I was like, ‘Chloe, that’s so goofy.’
She’s like, ‘No!
It’s gonna be finger guns…
I promise it’ll look cool.’
And so I felt stupid for six months doing this [mimics finger guns] every day.”
But he referred to the clip that just screened and exclaimed, “It looks pretty cool!”
