On how House of Gucci was the most difficult project he filmed this year: “I went to Juilliard, and they train you to be a repertory theater actor: Chekhov in the morning, Arthur Miller at night. I like that discipline. In some ways, House of Gucci was the most difficult. I do not live in the same world as Maurizio Gucci! The way he picks up things that are valuable and discards them; the way he is the most elegant man—those qualities were interesting to think about. But after 14 hours a day of being a Gucci, I was ready for it to be over. In general, I leave jobs immediately. I haven’t been to a wrap party since Girls. I just want to get the character out of my system and go home.” Sharing how he prepped for his recent commercial for a Burberry fragrance: “It took me a couple of months to train. I wanted to be muscular like a horse. And horses are very lean, so I lost weight. We shot it in the Canary Islands, and I found it very challenging. I don’t like to watch my films, but I actually watched the Burberry ad. I wanted to see it.”
