There’s a point where he addresses his fans, saying, 'Please don’t follow me.' He delves into the real truth of his validation needs, stemming from being distanced from his parents due to the phone and social media. I don't want to give away too much, but there's a dialogue where I slap my father. We had to shoot that scene 20 times from various angles, and reliving that moment each time was incredibly challenging. That scene completely shook me."
