Not that a single person asked, so this is mostly for me to look back on, thought I'd highlight a few of my favourite parts of the Defending Jacob cast and crew Q&A last night. (Mostly Chris anecdotes because that's just how my brain works)
Defending Jacob Cast and Creator Q&A from the Variety Streaming RoomĀ - NOTABLE PARTS.
The moderators intro;Ā ā... and Chris Evans who is also an executive producer on this showā heās always so coy; the little eyebrow raise, soft smile and tender nod.Ā
āKIDS CHOICE AWARDS...just, come on, be fairā dork.Ā
āIf ThIs GuY CaN Do It AnYbODy CAn dO Itā BABY BOY.Ā
The way everyone involved rightfully finds him HILARIOUS.Ā
Jenelle (to Jaeden):Ā āDid you watch Chrisā previous work to sort of prepare?ā Chris: *eyebrow raise and soft exhale*Ā āI HOPE NOTā cue dorky laughter (that LAUGH) and arm folding...biceps...sir, biceps do you have a licences for those weapons.Ā
Heās literally this close to launching himself off that seat with laughter.Ā
HAND KINK ACTIVATED. his gestures when he talks...please.Ā
Cherry Jones just grinning the whole time heās talking about what attracted him to the role is an accurate representation of me.Ā
Did I mention his laugh??
Michelle is bloody cute too btw.Ā
Idk if you knew but Chrisā house was only 20 minutes from set...Canāt take the boy from his home.Ā
I love that he loved the whole atmosphere on set so much, hope it makes it all easier for him when heās so comfortable.Ā
āDID YOU WIN DOUBLESā truly an excitable baby.Ā
āThatās not true at allā for a man thatās so self deprecating heās such a champion for making other people aware of how special they are. soft.
OMG. His little excited :O face when Jaeden sayās he only told his Mom a week or so ago about whether he decided if Jacob was guilty or not.
Iām glad he mentioned the courtroom scenes because his talent in those is phenomenal.Ā
CONDUCIVE...what a great word.Ā
ā...the art came firstā HIS PASSION.
ā...it really ended up feeling like a potterās wheelā I am so enamoured by his comparisons and analogies. also; his accent.Ā
ā...Itās a beautiful way to do what we doāĀ I love that he clearly loved this whole project, cast, crew, the process. Itās an incredible piece of work and he should be so proud of himself (as should everyone else involved).Ā
āMy lifeās a big, dumb comedyā We love an idiot
Echoing everyone finding him hilarious, as they should.Ā
A FEW MORE THINGS I WANT TO MENTION:Ā
Chrisā hair and beard at present are top tier, a superior look.Ā
I want to Cherry Jones to be an honorary member of my family
Chris always gives such deep, intelligent answers and I am obsessed with the way his mind works.Ā
I love how much their dynamic shows in this interview, itās the most fun interview so far (in my opinion) and I would love to see some footage of them all on set joking around with each other - and obvs some footage of them having fun at Chrisā place, but, beggars canāt be choosers lol.Ā Ā
Anyway, I know noobdy asked but I really enjoyed this and would encourage anyone who hasnāt seen it to watch it. Itās fun and interesting to hear about the process from Morten and Mark too. Iāve linked the interview thatās been very kindly uploaded to YouTube.Ā
