We were just saying the other day that our characters in this film are horrific."
Zendaya: “Theyre terrible.”
O’Connor: “They are so terrible.
And I was like, ‘Oh god.’
If they think they can see the real Josh with an American accent, this is not it.
I am not like this, I promise [laughs].”
I hate to say villain, but theres a villain-esque quality there to all of the characters.
And I think that was fun."
All I could think was, ‘This poor guy.'"
Whos the bad guy?
Whos the good guy?
And it changes every time.
Hopefully, it makes people human.
How many times have we all said, ‘Oh, they behaved badly in that situation.’
I could have dealt with that better.’
This is kind of the journey we all went on in this movie.
Thats what our goal is."
O’Connor: “Exactly, humanity.”
Zendaya: “Love each other and dont manipulate your friends or your spouses.
I often call this movie ‘Codependency: The Movie.'”
O’Connor: “I love that as a tag.
I can already see that making its way around.”
Zendaya: “Yeah, I love seeing peoples take on the characters when theyve only seen the trailer.
Its like, just waityou have no idea.”
My dad, who was an English teacher, used to always talk about Shakespeare.
And the thing hed tell me about Shakespeares villains is that they dont think of themselves as villains.
Zendaya: “Yeah, they have to believe in their purpose and what theyre doing.”
How Will Zendaya Adapt to Villain Role?
