#ft. brad.

“evan was in a humvee with these guys for five weeks, all the way from kuwait to baghdad, and he would record a lot of the conversations. and i discovered the essence of why brad was called “iceman” when he played one for me. they’re driving, and taking fire — you can hear bullets ricocheting off the humvee — and they open up and start firing back. and as brad’s shooting out the window, he’s talking to ray [person] about doing a three-point-turn and avoiding a burn. and the other guys are all screaming, and brad is so calm — it’s almost like his heart rate slowed down. he is so precise in giving directions to ray. you can tell he’s stressed, but he’s like, “ok, back up, back up, you’re good,” as he’s being shot. and to me that was brad.”   -   alexander sk.arsgard for hbo 10.
