I'll tell you my spooky story about this.
So I was filming this tiny movie that barely even got released.
Because I wanted to, I really wanted to do it.
And I remember leaving and then being like, should I be leaving?
And my mum being like, your father's a professional.
He would kill you if you didn't do this job.
So I was doing it in Kentucky, which is like a 22-hour door-to-door journey.
And...
I got some, we got the call that said, first of all, I had the call of your father's going into an operation that he might not live through.
Talked to him on the phone.
Not pleasant.
He survived that.
And then I got the call saying you have to come back home.
So I got the flights.
back home and he was in a coma and I sat with him for three days and then my job was like we can't continue filming if you don't come home and my mum again was like it's two weeks you've got two weeks left like just go just go back so I went back and then woke up in the middle of the night it's time you've got to come back so I didn't tell anyone I just left
And the whole flight from Kentucky, two flights, Kentucky to New York, New York to London, I didn't have, I didn't know.
But when I landed in New York, my mum was like, he's asking you to hurry.
He was sort of like doing this and, you know, and this whole time you're like, I'm on this, I need this flight to move quicker.
And I'll never forget, I got on the flight to New York and do you remember the days of satellite phones?
Yes.
