Were you drawn drawn to doing a Nicholas Sparks film because of this legacy that he has. Absolutely. I was aware of him, I wasn't really familiar with his books that much and I knew of him, I knew he has a phenomenal reputation for writing these types of stories. I mean, I kind of am for Nicholas Sparks. The Notebook, all of them, are really amazing. The Notebook has been a favorite of mine for a long time. involved in this project at all was pretty special. Yeah, it's great. It's neat. It was pretty exciting to jump on board. I have to ask this is your first love scene, how nervous were you? I was. First time you've ever kissed a girl! No, I think, you know, I would have been nervous if we didn't have such a good rapport. I mean, at this point me and Taylor were as close as you could be. We were very comfortable with each other. We both had a good sort of sense of humor about it. We never took it too seriously. Scott created a very safe environment for us that was very thoughtful. I'm just having flashbacks now.

Bourbon Street for the first time. How was that? It was fun. We had a great time. We ate alligator. We took her to a cool restaurant. Had some gator. Gator? Gator. Went to Pat O'Brien's, Burger King, did some voodoo. Yeah, we bought hats. We bought hats, yeah. I wanted to go get a cool hat. Yeah, we bought hats. They looked ridiculous moving around. They were terrible. Yours was cool. No, it wasn't. I didn't look like that. I went home, I think and I looked at my hat and I thought "Wow, that's what my hat looked like. It looked cool in the store." What's your favorite Nicholas Sparks film? You already sort of answered this one. Yeah. I think The Notebook. Do feel pressure to live up to that? They're different films. I mean it would be great to, you know, if we did somehow, but I think they're completely different projects. They're completely different movies. But that one is very special, you know, really captured something. I get emotional. Okay. Yeah, it got me.
