I think a lot of times it just looks like Hollywood actors in Halloween costumes, you know? And I think what weโre going to do with Fantastic Four is going to be very grounded and it made sense to me. When I read the script, I didnโt feel like I was reading this larger-than-life, incredible superhero tale. These are all very human people that end up having to become I guess what is known as the Fantastic Four. So for me it was just a really good story and gives me an opportunity to play something different from my own skin. Itโs a proper character and thatโs my favorite stuff to do.
Miles TellerThe makers of '21 and Over' have been screening it, and I'm getting a lot of comparisons to a young Vince Vaughn.
Miles TellerI was in good shape from Divergent. Damien Chazelle, the director of Whiplash told me, 'Stop Working Out! Don't go outside!' He wanted me pale and doughy. This is the first movie where I shut myself off from the world. It was, by far, the hardest thing I've ever done.
Miles TellerI've played drums since I was 15. My sisters and I all played instruments. I kind of started with piano and then I actually played saxophone with a jazz band in middle school. So, any knowledge I had of jazz music was from playing alto-sax back then.
Miles TellerI'm proud of everything I've done. If it's comedy, it's 'cause I think it's funny. If it's a drama, it's impactful. I'm leaning towards dramas now because I wrapped a couple comedies in a row. I don't like watching myself, but it's easier on me when I don't have to carry a lot of the comedy. But I enjoy making comedies but dramas come more naturally.
