Dylan O'Brien
The physical part was one thing. Whatever - I broke my face; that'll heal. The mental aspect was the biggest shock to the system. You just don't know how to experience stuff like that. You don't have any control over it, either. It's just how your body and brain reacts to something like that happening.
I always whip up chicken cutlets or something. Or I make chicken parm and pasta, or something like that.
It's always a long process of trying to suppress the self-doubt on set when you're acting.
It's honestly just pressure that I put on myself when I'm working. It's just how I operate.
I've never looked at myself as this pop candy type.
It's really easy sometimes to get comfortable on a set and get into the groove and think it's all make-believe so nothing bad can happen.
As an actor, you blindly put your trust in experts - and if they tell you something's safe, you don't fully vet it yourself. If you're young and inexperienced, that's just what you're taught to do.
When I was younger, I used to just want to please everybody and not want to be an issue or not be considered a diva. I've just grown up and realized you have to look out for yourself and stick up for yourself, and there's nothing wrong with that.
Kissing on screen is just - funny enough, you're just acting, so you're distracted by that more than anything. Or at least I am.
