What did it bring up for you and also your fellow actors as you were portraying this very complicated emotional dynamic?

Are you saying you now know more about Penelope Cruz's marriage?

Yes, exactly.

So Esther Perel, the relationship psychotherapist and best-selling author, was a consultant on the film.

Was she mediating something?

I mean, were you guys having group therapy?

I'm glad you brought this up because I have a theory about your relationship.

Well, I saw you talk about your wife on Howard Stern, and you told several anecdotes that basically boil down to, I was on drugs and my wife encouraged me to go on live television.

Get out.

Get on stage with Madonna.

Do something potentially publicly risky, but very fun.

And I just loved that.

Because this is clearly someone that is...

sort of the opposite of trying to shut you down or, you know, circumscribe you.

She wants you to be full Seth.

What do you wish she'd stopped you from doing?

Nothing right now.

So you often play with thwarted desire in your projects.

You know...

dude wants a hot girl, isn't in her league.
