“I can’t give up give that away, but there was some there’s some brutal stuff between myself and Eileen, between Jimmy and Eileen,” he explained. “And Thomasin is one of the bravest young actresses you’ll find working today, she is phenomenal because it wasn’t easy getting that relationship right on the screen, you know, the complexities of that. She was amazing.”
