“I’ve always been such a cheerleader
of who he is and his work."

“I have a lot of friends who kinda say, ‘Can you talk to Kathryn Bigelow or whatever about me?’
I’m always nervous to do that. [Oscar]’s the only one I’ve ever done that with and he didn’t even ask me.
I wrote a long e-mail to J.C. [Chandor]. I said, ‘Oscar has no idea I’m sending you this e-mail. This is why
I believe in him. I’ve known him for 10 years. I’ve seen him in school work in Juilliard without costumes and props.
He’s never done a false moment. This is someone I really believe in.’ I wrote this whole thing about independent cinema…
And then I sent it and I thought, ‘Oooh, that was probably a mistake; maybe I overstepped my bounds.’ And I was
kinda freaking out, really neurotic, and 10 minutes later, I get an e-mail from J.C. that just says,
‘I’m casting him but don’t tell him yet.’"

With the amount of stuff that's out with these two being adorable together, I figured it was time they had their own thread. I love their friendship.

TFTNT Ana. Amazing OP (quotes, pics and gifs are on point).

Quote:

"The fries are good. Want fries?" Isaac says. He's standing at the bar at Malachy's, a frozen-in-time Upper West Side dive, where he stretched his drinking dollar as a Juilliard student during the early 2000s.

He decided to apply on impulse after passing by the school when he was in New York doing a play. Once he was in the acting program, he quickly befriended Chastain, who was dating a friend of his. "She was an upperclassman and I was an underclassman. And she was amazing. She would give me a hard time about . . . my petting animals that I shouldn't have been petting, " Isaac says, laughing. "Which is the new euphemism, by the way. I definitely petted a few animals in those days." (For her part, Chastain is as discreet now about his past dalliances as she was disapproving then, saying only: "I don't know, he's got a wild side to him, I guess.")

With her help, he matured. "She was always a very up-front, honest person, and she would push me to be a better man and a better actor," he says. "And so I definitely owe her a lot for that."

Thank you, dear.

What's with that petting animals part? I have no idea what that's an euphemism for. If it's for women, I'm giving you a side eye, Oscar!

I think so too.

Straight men, always so disappointing.

A ladies' man.
