Top Cillian Co-starts: Rachel McAdam’s.
“…Yeah, I guess he’s got that whole Irish thing going on and these really hypnotic eyes… He also tells really bad jokes, like really bad corny jokes and I just laugh, cause they’re funny. It’s must be an Canadian/Irish thing.”
jack: fear of flying?
lisa: yeah. just a little.

Cillian said that the bathroom scene was a bit rough and required a certain level of trust. How did you feel about all of that? I trust Cillian completely. We had spent a lot of time together at that point, and he’s such a good physical actor. He’s really good with the choreography. He’s so convincing when it comes to being shot at and stabbed. [laughs] He’s just so believable. Yet it’s very controlled. Sitting side by side, I can tell that he’s completely within control. So I trusted him wholeheartedly, and we were kind of used to each other at that point. But at the same time, there was always an element of danger and urgency, because he’s a good actor. You can see it in his face.Since your characters are enemies, did you and Cillian avoid getting overly friendly between takes? There’s a certain distance, but at the same time, [we] really tried to keep it light and enjoy ourselves. It was such a weighty project, and the scenes were so terrorizing and intense. Cillian…he’s actually really funny and has a real lightness to him. He’s a joker. Like he loves to tell really bad jokes! [laughs] And I’m a sucker for bad jokes. I love them. So he’d just tell corny jokes all the time. But there was a silence between us when we were shooting a scene, even if we were waiting for a light to be put up or something. Unless we were between scenes, there was a quiet respect for the fact that we were supposed to be at odds with one another.
