Wow.

Yeah.

Yeah, but that was, you know, I just wanted my kids to experience a little bit of that because it has been an incredible relationship I've had with that country.

Just based on a film.

You know?

And I know all about the negativities involved in the process and it doesn't stop me.

So it just goes to show how potent it is as a drug.

Yeah, so I basically just stopped all exercise to try and sort of get into the shape of the guy that I was playing.

And I met Jeffrey Weigand, the guy that I was playing.

And it was a funny thing because...

Michael Mann was convinced that Jeffrey was an expert golfer.

And so I'd been doing these golf sessions and stuff.

And I met him at a golf course and took him to the driving range.

And he was not an expert golfer.

And I asked Michael, where did you get that impression from?

He said, well, the way he talks about it.

I said, ah, cool, cool.

So I used that too as part of the personality of the guy.

The guy thought his golf game was way better than it really was.

It's just an interesting little detail.
