On how they auditioned for each other’s roles:

Nicholas: “We work in this industry that oftentimes pits people against each other; you and me probably end up going for all the same parts.”

Leo: “I auditioned for Mary & George.”

Nicholas: “Did you really?”

Leo: “Yeah, you bastard!”

Nicholas: “I auditioned for White Lotus. So you’ve got me there.”

Nicholas, on whether his character in The Idea of You is based on Harry Styles:

“Deny, deny, deny, deny!”

Nicholas, on his parents’ reactions to his sex scenes:

“They came to the premiere of Mary & George, and it was pretty uncomfortable. My dad, in this hypermasculine way, was like, ‘I’m going to watch this. Men watch their sons do sex scenes.’ It was like, ‘Dad, you really don’t have to. I get that you’re proud.’ I did four sex scenes in one day one time, with people who, that was their only scene. So I would welcome them on set like, ‘OK, we’re in position.’”

Leo, on the challenges of portraying Dexter in One Day:

“The thing about Dex—the immediate challenge that I knew I had to overcome—was he had to be redeemable. On the page, it’s very easy to think he’s a bit of a twat, because he kind of is. He does act like a knob half the time. But some really bad things happen to him, and he’s got a lot of love in his heart. He’s on his knees a lot. For someone who’s so privileged, he really gets a crap deal.”

Nicholas, on working alongside Julianne Moore in Mary & George:

“She actually goes by ‘Juju’ sometimes. I felt like that was a bit too familiar. But you do think, ‘Julianne Moore, icon,’ and then you meet her in person and she’s so grounded… But immediately, we’re scheming. A lot of combativeness. Earlier in [George’s] life, he’s just desperate for love and affection. Then, the more he feels like a pawn in her game, he gathers his own autonomy.”

Nicolas also revealed what’s worse than filming intimate scenes.
