Dylan O’Brien Chats With Logan Lerman For Interview

Dylan O’Brien caught up with his friend, and fellow actor, Logan Lerman for Inteview. The actor sat down with the magazine, and Lerman, to promote his new film, Twinless. Highlights from his interview are below.

On how he joined the cast: “I got a collection of scripts, and luckily I’m so obsessive about going through everything because I’m paranoid that I’m going to miss a golden nugget. I read it and couldn’t put it down. I was like, ‘Who the hell wrote this?’ I started doing the homework on James [Sweeney], and I presumed the plan was for this guy to also direct, and I was like, ‘He probably hasn’t directed before.’ Then I saw that he had a full feature called Straight Up on Netflix. It’s a micro-budget film that he wrote, directed, and starred in. It’s very different than Twinless. It’s a screwball comedy, but it’s fantastically made in terms of the things that you scout for a young filmmaker—just the amount of detail that went into every facet of the filmmaking. I was like, ‘Who the hell is this guy?'”

On whether he is more East Coast or West Coast: “I’ve always considered my heart to be in the East. To give the full context for the reader, I grew up on the East Coast and my entire family’s from New York. Then I moved to California when I was 12. I went to high school in South Bay, which I’ve taken Logan down to. He’s done the South Bay romp with me, which, for those who don’t know, is a very specific, hilarious party vibe.”

On what he always brings to set: “I’m very specific about my coffee. The camper Bialetti goes with me everywhere. I also can’t ever be using a stock mug; they’re always tiny. So one of the first things I do anywhere is buy a really campy, big mug from Target or something, and that becomes a keepsake that I take home with me from the experience.”
