Grant Gustin Covers The Digital Issue Of Entertainment Weekly
Grant Gustin is on the cover of the digital issue of Entertainment Weekly. The actor is on the cover to promote the series finale of The Flash. Highlights from his interview are below.
On deciding to keep Barry’s lightning bolt ring: “I knew I was going to keep one thing, but I didn’t know that it was going to be the ring. Right as we were finishing, I was like, ‘This is going to stay in my pocket.’ Now it’s in a drawer at home with all of my important jewelry. I put it on, actually, the other day.”
On the impact of the Arrowverse: “When it came to the greater Arrowverse, the scale of it was something that was really lost on me for the majority of the run. It’s something I won’t fully understand or appreciate for years and years and years, to see what the impact that Greg Berlanti and [executive producer] Marc Guggenheim and all of these guys were able to have on the TV landscape. It was unlike anything that had ever been attempted in television.”
On how this final season parallels his own life: “It is poignant that it finishes as Barry and I are both starting a family. I had a lot of figuring things out to do over the course of the nine years, and same for Barry. None of us knew what we were getting into when this started or how big it was going to be, and I’m just proud of the way we all grew together and always continued to show up for the show and do the best we could. I think we really finished on a high note.”
