Now, Scott has returned in"I Want You Back," a romantic movie from Prime Video.
First off, the script was awesome.
It was a laugh-out-loud read, which is pretty rare.
Jason Orley is a very young, talented filmmaker.
Really, he put together an incredible cast, so [it was] a no-brainer.
And what was it like working so closely with Charlie Day and Jenny Slate?
He’s the best.
If every movie could be with Charlie, it would be smooth sailing.
She’s the voice of Marcel the Shell, little fun fact.
Did you enjoy playing the funny character?
Did I enjoy taking my clothes off?
Did you mind stripping?
As long as it gets a laugh, I’ll do it.
And was it fun showing that funnier side of yourself?
It was a super fun movie.
I think it was really grounding, the movie.
Will we see you in more movies like this in the future?
Because I feel like you’ve done a lot more action and serious films in the past?
And what was it like working with Taylor?
Taylor Swift’s great.
Look, the power of T. Swift, that was a really fun thing to shoot.
It felt like an old movie which I liked.
… Oh, I was just watching Idris Elba recently.
He’s just such a big talent, I’d love to work with him.
When you’re not working, what do you like to do?
I’ve got probably, I would say, too many hobbies keep me busy.
I like to fish, I fly helicopters, pickleball.
I love how you dropped that in there so casually “I fly helicopters.”
Yeah, it’s an expensive hobby, that’s what it is.
When you first start flying, I think it’s scary, yeah.
I think anyone would …
It’s pretty scary.
I feel like my hobbies are so boring in comparison.
It’s not too late.
Get out there and try something new.
Was it easy to get into character?
Did you relate to him in any way?
Yeah, there’s a lot of pieces of this character that I think I could relate to.
He’s ultimately a really good guy, too.
He’s got a heart of gold, which is one of the things I liked about him.
I loved “The Longest Ride.”
What was it like working on that film, and getting into Nicholas Sparks' mode?
It was an incredible film to work on.
You’re just a big fan of those big romantic films?
If they’re done right.
That film was directed by Nick Cassavetes, and he’s an incredible filmmaker.
He brought a lot of heart to it, but really in a subtle way, which I like.
Obviously your dad is an icon and an amazing director.
Do you have any aspirations to direct?
I don’t know about that.
We’ll see down the road, one step at a time.
What’s next for you?
Well, I’ll probably have dinner, we’ll start with that.
“I Want You Back” will premiere exclusively on Prime Video February 11, 2022.
