While the first film may have ended, Dunkleman and Jodi’s love story is far from over.
However, there’s something major missing from “Tall Girl 2.”
Dunkleman doesn’t have his milk crate anymore.
We were trying to figure this out earlier, and I honestly think there was a string of rumors.
And I was like, “Yeah, I actually already knew that for some reason.”
How did it feel to have everyone back together after two years?
What was the vibe like on set?
Whenever Luke’s in town, I’m always hanging out with him.
The pandemic made it a lot harder to see people that you wanted to see and care about.
What would you say you hadn’t tried before?
[Laughs] But you know, that’s how I was on set at least.
Your character also doesn’t have his crate this time around.
Was it strange not having that to carry?
There is this sentimental, cute value of the crate, but practically that thing makes no sense.
Well, I actually heard that you really did break it.
It was actually supposed to be a bit in the first movie.
We did it, and it actually didn’t fit into the first one.
It ruined the scene.
It interrupted it, but they found a place for it again in the second one.
There were actually two times.
Did you actually snap any fun pictures while you were filming?
Yeah, I tried to.
Your character is such a confident guy.
It’s not easy for him to give up on something.
Has your perspective changed since playing him?
Have you learned anything?
I wouldn’t say confidence or maybe confidence wise …
I see Dunkleman as a facet of my personality pushed to a very far extreme.
At the end of the day, there is a piece of me in Dunkleman.
He’s pushed to the extreme, but it’s really fun to get to play around in that.
Was there a message that stuck out to you the most after filming?
That’s interesting, because I think these are universal topics.
Everyone experiences a little bit of [many] of these things at a time throughout their lifetime.
They’re all important subjects to cover …
It’s a story placed with very goofy characters in it.
What are you most excited for people to see in the sequel?
I’m excited for people to see how good-looking Luke Eisner is.
He’s really grown into his body, especially since the first one.
[Laughs] Now, he fits his proportions, and he is looking real good.
He’s been hitting the gym.
No, we did.
Now, I feel like I’m blowing hot air into Luke [Eisner].
That’s an expression, I think.
They’re like, “Yeah.
Sure, go for it.”
We, for probably nine hours straight, did the same two-page scene.
We spent so much time on that none of it got used.
Being able to bounce ideas off of someone that is your friendandyour colleague would be a really fun time.
“Tall Girl 2” is now available to stream exclusively on Netflix.
