There Was No Justification For Him To Be Emaciated, But I Thought, Say I Was 165, I Thought What If I Went Down To 155 And Have Him Rail-thin? And Yorgos Was Like, "well, If He's Very Thin I Think Maybe It Will Speak To Some Kind Of Psychological Trouble That We Want To Stay Away From," And I Was Like, "f - -, You're Right."
