that's exactly why i get so frustrated whenever i read casting rumours about dc or marvel. they never seem to pick the actors i think would be brilliant for the role. to be fair, they do take their time finding the right person, i've seen enough of the process to know they're incredibly professional about it. but casting robert pattinson again? i don't know. i think giving other actors a chance would be pretty amazing as well. oh god, you've actually watched it? what did you think? if the role was interesting and i felt like i could do it justice, i wouldn't turn the project down. and hey, hayley told me that you two are dating! i'm so happy for you, man. it's always nice seeing good people find someone who makes them happy.

the rumor going around about me was mostly fancasting which are basically all rumors surrounding those kind of roles. but you're right, they tend to go with someone else entirely int he end. well, there is a second batman movie coming out with him but i don't think he's the one that will be in a justice league movie at some point. think his movies are kind of seperate from the DCU they're creating right now. it was good. i'm a little jealous that you got to share the screen with niecy nash. she seems like so much fun. and adam sandler. that's amazing. i think you'd be perfect for like a buddy comedy. oh yeah, we've been dating for a while now. thanks man, appreciate it. all i want to do is make her happy. did she also tell you the other good news?

Exactly, or at least it is for us! I don't know how some people are able to stick to one genre, but huge respect for that. I get restless so quickly. I understand why some people homeschool their kids, especially so they can travel with them whilst they're working, but I don't like that idea myself. Especially now that I'm split from their mum, it makes more sense for them to have the stability of being in one place, around the same people and getting to have a normal life outside of my work life craziness. I heard about that - congratulations! Brace yourself for the wildest ride of your life.

I guess it's just what you feel comfortable with. It would just feel too repetitive for me personally. No, I completely get that. Well, sounds like you're just putting their wellbeing first and that's what a good dad does. Sorry to hear about the split though. Are they old enough to understand what you do? That you have to be away to film something but that you're not gone forever? Thank you very much. I'm excited, nervous and a little scared if I'm honest.

i was. it was pretty cool. i guess at the time i was still to young to have any weight to what i was actually doing. as i got older and people started to comment on me more, thats when it got a lot but i am happy i had such a good team around me. it isn't always the case. i love asia, i take any chance i get to be there. i hope you ger the chance to go back. that sounds so cool. do you know when we will get to see it?

yeah, most decisions were made for you back then probably. but that's still crazy, at such a young age. a good team does make quite the difference. i know it might be hard at times, but it's best to just ignore those comments. as long as you're happy with what you do, that's what matters. people just like to comment on everything. any suggestions on place i could go one day? no, i don't know the date yet but i'm assuming it will be some time next year.

yeah, they wanted me to be involved with as much as possible. i am very lucky that i found soccer, i loved playing it growing up. honestly, in theory it sounds great but i feel i would get bored so quickly. and i am the same, i love what i do know and would not trade it for the world. you do need those days where you just don’t care, its all about balance. yes, very lucky to be still working.

seemed they like just wanted what was best for you and that you grew up a happy kid. and this was just your chance to do it all again. bet it brought back some fun memories. no, i get what you mean. i wouldn't be able to do nothing all day for the rest of my life. i need to be busy with something or i'll go crazy. that is very true. balance is key. but we all can use a cheat day from time to time. i saw some pictures online of the 13 going on 30 movie and i noticed jennifer was there. interesting.

Amor, I'm the daughter of a musician! I grew up in stadiums and venues. I can't believe you don't know my lore, Brandon. Do you just let me yap your ear off and not really take in anything I say? Is this the kind of friendship we have?

That little fact may have escaped me, I'm sorry. I will admit that sometimes I do let you rant on and on and then just nod a couple of times. That's just true friendship right there. I may have been a little occupied with something else so I apologise for forgetting that.

If you are filming.... at least I'll have your company with facetimes. It might be a little harder with our little one in tow but I'm sure that we could hire a nanny or one of our moms can come along, too. We'll make it work. Many other couples have in the past. I've always found the film side of things interesting - especially since I was looking at doing some voice stuff before my last album became a thing. But there's just something about watching you work that makes me happy - knowing you're doing something that you love. My voice coach has been helping me do exercises so I don't sound completely shit when I'm performing at the festival next week... getting used to how my body is going to be different a little while pregnant. You're making me emotional over here, babe. I don't think the hormones are helping that much but thank you. Might have to get you to rub my feet or something.... as I get further along, at least. I can tell that this little one is probably taking after you cause I've been wanting a steak and I don't usually crave something like that.

That's true. Glad that exists now. I can pick my projects a little better and I'm sure that whoever I work with next will understand when the baby's here that I want to be there for you and the little one as much as I can. I don't doubt that we can make it work. Wait, you were thinking of doing that? I had no idea. You can still do that. It would be fun to see you suddenly show up in an animated movie or a video game or something. Thanks, babe. You're not going to sound shit at all, don't say that. Just be careful that you don't overwork yourself as your body will react to things differently now. But at least you'll get to tell all those stories to our little one when he or she is older. You can mention that you shared the stage together. Oh, are you going to be a real emotional mess from now on? Just kidding, I'll be ready for it. I'll happily rub your feet for you since you probably won't even be able to see them anymore at some point. Sorry, that was the last one. That just means they have a good appetite.

Yeah, I live for a bit of variety, I couldn't be somebody who does the same sort of thing with every role. Hats off to those that can do that, it's just not for me. It depends on the project, when it is, how long it is, that kind of thing. I don't like taking them out of school, it's good for them to have that consistency, so they tend to come with me if it's during their holidays or only for a week or so here and there if it's term time. But mostly if I'm filming away, they're with their mum. Some of those longer shoots without them can be tough, but it's my decision to take those jobs, I should be the one to deal with the consequences, and I'm alright with that.

No, I wouldn't be able to do that either. It's more fun to try different parts and not be remembered for just doing one genre. The ones that do are good at it and if they're comfortable in that position then good for them. But that's not me. Alright, I get that. Don't want to take their education from them. There's always home schooling but that always sits bad with me. You want them to have that experience in school, making friends for life and all that. But at least they can join you in their holidays, I'm sure they love that. Luckily there's something out there like facetime as that does help, being able to still see them and speak to them when you can't be around. I will be experiencing that too soon now that my girlfriend told me she's pregnant.

thank you so much! i had a show in austin so that was the most of what i did but was able to sneak in a good dinner with some friends, too. how about you? you're right about that. they'll take it for all its worth and even try to push it further than it needs to, too. i hope you're right.

that's nice though, sharing your birthday with a lot of your fans. that's good that you managed to at least have some time with your friends too. uhm, i just had a nice day with my girlfriend and i may have got the best present ever from her. yeah, they're just trying to milk it. but i doubt it'll be as successful as the toy itself. hype's over. there are other things people are more excited about now.

what? i honestly thought they would've called you by now and that you'd already be sitting there reading the script, now i'm disappointed. if there were anything i could do about it, believe me, i would! but i don't think i have much influence in that department. still, it feels like one of those things that should've happened already, the casting just makes sense in my head and now you've got me wondering what they're waiting for.

no man, don't think my name is going around anymore these days. there are a couple of other actors up for it i think. would've loved having the script but who knows, maybe something else will pop up. just like marvel, dc has a lot of characters. thanks man, appreciate it. i feel honoured that you think i'd be perfect for that role. glad i got your support. i think they're just trying to look for the perfect one and it might take a while. they have to compete with marvel so they have to do it right. although, i wouldn't have mind it if they just chose robert pattinson for the part as i actually liked his batman a lot. now back to you, do you have an ambition to do more movies? i've seen happy gilmore 2. and grotesque.

You're damn right, man, moms are incredible, they really are. Trust me, saying no to them is already the hardest thing in the world. I want them to stay humble and not feel like they can get anything they ask for, they've gotta have a little bit of drive to make stuff happen themselves, you know what I mean? It's a tough balance. I don't think I'll get it all right, but luckily I've got a parenting partner who always knows exactly how to deal with them. Eva is so much better at saying no, I don't know where that strength comes from. Actually, I do, because she got it from her mom. You don't mess with Cuban moms.

Moms truly are incredible, going to agree with you on that. Yeah, I completely get what you mean. You want them to learn how to get things for themselves, how to work for it instead of just having it land in their laps like that. You want them to be independent. I mean, I guess when they're kids, you can still give them things but as they grow, you need to teach them a couple of lessons and even let them make mistakes so they can learn from that too. You know, you're just human, you also make mistakes and it happens. I think it's just being a mom that gives you more authority or something. I guess I'll find out too what it's like in a couple of years. Latino mom? Oh man, the arguements in the house must be fire. Is he also the type that would just take off her shoe and threaten to throw it or slap you with it?

I'm okay with taking it somewhat easy because I've still got another tour that I've got to work on. So there's a bit of work that I've got to do there. I know that I'm going to be entertained because I've loved watching you do your thing on set before. I think most people who tour, especially when they're doing it for a couple of months... end up getting sick. Even if they're not the singer. Lucky for us that you're not going to catch my sickness... even if you helped get me there in the first place. Oh, yeah. I'm not going to be getting up for you at 4am unless this baby decides that it's a good time to make me feel poorly. I love you but I also love my sleep. Plus it means that I'll be more energized when you get home. Yeah, I think it's a nice memento... not just from tour but from our first months as a couple. Something nice to look back on. Our lives are going to change over the next few months... so enjoying us is something that I'm really going to embrace. Being with you has been the happiest I've been in a long while.

You're just making sure you stay very busy. But I love this for you, that you already got another tour lined up. That means I got to be that supportive boyfriend again and travel along with you, if I'm not filming at the time. I guess I just don't have that outsider perspective on things and just assume it's a bit boring watching actors do their scenes. Hmm, I can only imagine. Being on the road for so long, being stuck with the same people all day, it happens. And I just need to make sure that you are drinking enough tea with honey or something with ginger in it as those things tend to help a sore throat. I will take full responsibility for that. Don't think this sickness will go away that easily. You know, I'll gladly wake up along with you if the baby is making you feel poorly. We're in this together and I'll do everything in my power to help you with everything. It's very sweet that you're doing that. Oh, I know they are. I can't wait to find out what weird cravings you're going to get. I'm glad you feel that way, babe. All I want to do is make you happy.

❛ Serious question, though — we both shared a co-star… not in the same movie, but somehow we both ended up making headlines with them. At this point, does that make us honorary members of some elite brother-husbands club… kinda like sister-wives, but way cooler. Because I feel like there should at least be matching jackets, a secret handshake, and an annual retreat where we sit around a fire and unpack the absolute chaos of celebrity rumor mills together. ❜

It's a shame that it wasn't in the same movie. Would've loved the chance to work with you. Hmm, that does sound way cooler than sister-wives and I'm so up for having jackets created and think of some kind of handshake. This just needs to be a thing now. We could just do the retreat no matter what. Always nice to get away for a couple of days from our busy schedules.

I feel like since I'm doing the sequel to The Housemaid I need to ask you for tips, especially when it comes to working with the ladies. I've always wanted to work with Amanda, so that's like a dream come true for me, and I'm excited about getting to work with Kirsten Dunst as well, since she was added to the movie as well. But did you have a good time when you filmed the first one? Did you like being part of the set? // @brandonblvd

I saw that. Congrats on joining that cast. Oh, the ladies are amazing. Especially Amanda. She's so good and very professional, but when the cameras stop rolling, she's just this very sweet, excited, fun person. I really liked working with her. You'll love her and she's so welcoming to new people. I'm a little jealous that you get to work with Kirsten. I'm sure that will be quite the experience. I did have a good time filming the first one. It was very different than all the roles I did before that. It was fun playing that type of character. And as for tips... I'd say just go along whenever the ladies as you to create a new TikTok or Instagram video. It's hard to say no to them.

Oh, that's such a thoughtful thing to say. I do feel incredibly lucky that I still genuinely love what I do. Every project asks something different of you, and that's what keeps it exciting. The moment it stops feeling like a challenge is probably the moment I'd need to rethink everything. I know exactly what you mean about fans getting excited. I wish I could tell you more, but keeping secrets is part of the job. Hopefully it won't be too much longer before everyone gets to see it. I think it'll be worth the wait. And goodness, trusting your girlfriend with your hair was a brave decision. At least her hairstylist friend was able to rescue it! Hair has such a funny way of changing how you see yourself. I love changing my hair and apparently i am the queen of wigs. Iron Jane sounds fascinating. I have so much respect for actors who transform themselves physically for a role because it takes an incredible amount of discipline. And Eiza is wonderfully talented, so I'm sure she's marvelous in it. But don't sell yourself short—you can have an extraordinary co-star and still give a performance that people remember. I hope you're proud of what you've created. I can't wait to see it.

It's just the truth. That is true. If you keep doing the same things then it can get boring but if you challenge yourself to do different genres and all, it keeps things interesting. No, your right, you can't tell me anything because then it also wouldn't be fun anymore to go see it. I'll just wait like everyone else until it's released. The trailer already looks good so I don't doubt that it's going to be a fun watch. Well, she's the type to change her hair a lot so I had faith in her. Dyeing hair is more her thing. Hair does a lot for people. I've noticed that now. It can make you look like such a different person. You are. Don't think I've ever seen a project of yours where your hair was the same as in another project. Always different. She's been amazing. I've been helping her out a little bit as some days aren't so easy for her so I try to help her any way I can. It's not only a physical transformation but it also does something to you mentally. It's been interesting but very proud of it.
