Well, it was a little terrifying because I was playing a South African and that’s a really hard accent to do. If you think about what our tongue does in an American accent, it’s like the polar opposite in a South African accent, so it’s like if you say, ‘I’ll be right back’ and think about what your tongue does, they’ll say [the opposite]. And it’s like, ‘What the fuck just happened, right?’ It’s something that just required a lot of practice and I treated it like a job. I tested that theory [that Clint Eastwood likes one take] on Day 1 of shooting. We did the first take. It went pretty well. Clint says, ‘cut, print, check the gate,’ which means we’re gonna move on. And I said, ‘Hey boss, maybe you think we could get one more.’ He just turned and goes, ‘Why? Do you want to waste everybody’s time?’
