KJ Apa Opens Up About Eric Dane & One Fast Move In New Interview

KJ Apa sat down with VMAN for their special 50th issue. The star chatted with the outlet to promote his most recent movie, One Fast Move. Highlights from his interview are below.

On what drew him to the role: “When I first read One Fast Move, I was very drawn to the tone and the world that these characters existed in. Kelly [Blatz] had spoken to me beforehand about tonal references. And so I was able to imagine the world, the city, the tracks, bikes, houses, etc. The script read very real. There was nothing slick about it, which is why I think I loved it so much. The characters all felt real too, like they had a lot of history to them. You could just feel it. And them. This was exactly the kind of story I wanted to be a part of. I needed to be a part of. I feel like this story chose me. I had entered into it at the perfect moment in my life. I needed something heavy to sink into. And there was just so much there to work with. There are some projects that just feel right. You go with it and the world seems to follow. One Fast Move was one of these projects.”

On working with costar, Eric Dane: “Eric Dane has become one of my closest friends. Working with him was very intense. Eric’s presence demands your full attention. He pulls the best performances out of me. He just makes you want to care more. We pretty much locked in immediately. He has become someone in my life who I can bounce personal things off of. Our come-up wasn’t so dissimilar. He shared with me what works for him. What hasn’t? I feel grateful to have someone like Eric to ask for advice from. I have loved continuing to walk through life with him.”
