Once in a while,” Cruz toldE! Newsat a screening of the film.“It’s easy, but at the same time, there’s an extra challenge of going beyond the personal and diving into the fictional and it’s scary because it forces you to go the extra step, but it also makes you grow as an actor,“Bardem told reportersof working with Cruz on the movie. “It makes you work another set of mechanisms that perhaps with another actor or actress you wouldn’t work the same way.”

According to him, the experience only made their relationship grow stronger. “I never have loved my wife more than after we did this movie,“he told PEOPLE. “For me, it was a trust thing.

By the time we were shooting, it was just the best,” the actor added, joking that they could have been “announcing our divorce right now if it did go the wrong way.”

It’s just easy working with family and with friends, because you feel comfortable with one another, and that’s so important as an actor. That makes me more open to taking risks and trying things that I wouldn’t on a set where I felt insecure. It just really opens me up and makes me my best self.““It’s so nice to work with your person, to be on set with someone who is the person you feel the most comfortable with in the world,“agreed Brie when she later talked to the outlet. “It’s a really great feeling, especially to be intimate with them on set or to have romantic or kissing scenes with that person. It’s delightfully easy. He just makes a great point and he and I talk about this all time. We do really love working with each other.”

Because the kids stayed in L.A. and Elsa and I got to go to Albuquerque for a week and kind of work together and hang out. You have kids and all the sudden that’s everything — so that period for us was a great opportunity to just kind of hang out and work together. And we didn’t have to do much rehearsing as far as playing husband and wife.”

I have always and still do respect Matthew’s work on the show so much. He’s so fun to work with as an actor, so as a director, it’s good … I have to say, even when he’s not directing, which is why I thought it was such a great idea for him to direct, he’s always problem-solving and making things better and blocking lines or coming up with ideas, so I thought it was a really good, natural thing for him to do.”

So you meet somebody who really piques your interest, but you’re in a relationship and so you put things off and then you run into each other again.“Greenburg also opened up about working with ChungtoEntertainment Tonight. “It was fun! She’s such a great actress,” he said of filming. “We help each other all the time with auditions and stuff. So I’m used to it. I don’t know, she might have been a little more freaked out than I was. I was really into it. She suggested that we get separate hotel rooms when we shoot just to build the chemistry, which annoyed me but I think it worked.”

Probably not, but this is just kind of how it’s always been. So it doesn’t feel as bizarre.“Moyer was equally chill about the experience. “There are moments where I’ll be watching the monitor [and say] ‘Oh, Joe [Manganiello], just move your hand up towards Anna’s breast. And can you move your thumb just a little bit towards her nipple? Great.’ And then I’ll go ‘Babe, babe, enjoy it.’ I’m certainly talking to her as ‘babe.’ ‘Darling, go for it, yeah, feel the nipple,” he said.

Shepard and Bell teamed up to voice characters on the children’s seriesTerrific Trucks. The actor told PEOPLE that working together is one of their “favorite ways to spend time together.” “Mainly I’m jealous of my wife’s outstanding voiceover career and I’m really trying to bite at her heels. That’s the one thing she’s really got me on — well, there’s a few things, but that’s certainly one of them,” he jokingly added.
As for Bell, the project was definitely a mix of work and play. “I love working with my husband, I do it whenever I can,” she said. “But I rarely work in a playing field where I have a leg up over him, because he’s a really good writer/director/actor, and I’m just a decent actor. I’m a passable actor. So it was great to see him be a little hesitant and look to me and be like: ‘Did I do that right?’ … It was nice to see his confidence waver ever so slightly to remind me that he’s human and not perfect and good at everything!”
