But first I wanted to say a few things about how much I loved working on the sets of #Animal (red heart emoji). Initially na.. the film came so suddenly to me, was really surprising but I was extremely extremely excited for Animal Cz of course I wanted to work with the whole team.”

I absolutely loved working with my boys to the extent that they have and will always have a special place in my heart. The whole team are such darlings ya.. everyone who I worked with on set are so professional and yet so kind-hearted and I in fact kept mentioning to them that I would’ve loveeeed to work with them for 1000 more times and I’d still be so happy.”
