You don’t do certain things or go certain places. Johnson: Well, it takes a lot to be private now, like so much effort every day. This is maybe a more personal question, but how do you have such good boundaries in your life and with an audience in order to carry on being naked on screen, whether it’s literal or otherwise? I know it’s something that I think about all the time to keep myself sacred, to keep my life sacred so that I can feel free to go and carry on giving myself to my work. Garfield: No, but you do in your own way with the film with Jamie, because it’s the same thing in terms of feeling available to the world and especially with what you were going through with that film because it is so metaphorically naked. Johnson: Spider-Man? I know so much about that. Garfield: I was like, “Oh, I must leave and as I leave, I must let my eyes linger for as long as possible as I leave,” because I mean, of course, because it’s just there and thank God it wasn’t anything bad. Johnson: And you were like, “Oh no, I should leave,” but you didn’t. I saw, like, a board with cue cards and some of his internal choices and substitutions and. And I was like, “This isn’t my trailer,” and I saw some of his homework. I was accidentally brought into Justin’s- Justin Timberlake of stage, screen, and pop star fame-trailer by one of the second A.D.s one day. Garfield: So this is a weird story, and I probably shouldn’t say this. Johnson: I find that really, creatively, almost liberating, when you’d think it would be the opposite when you have such a limited place to move, but it does so much, I think, emotionally.
I just trusted him, which is such a hard thing to find with a filmmaker. So that was the only very didactic, specific piece of blocking that he gave me, and it’s cool. There was a moment where he was very, very clear he wanted me to be looking out of the window with my back turned to the desk and then to turn around at a specific point and say a thing directly to Jesse and then not blink and not break eye contact with him for the rest of the scene.
There was one time he was didactic with me about blocking, and it was in the moment during the litigation, towards the end of the litigation between me and Jesse, because that stuff can be quite boring because it’s just people just sitting across from each other.
