«With Brad I had a very nice moment, where he gave me some very nice acting advice. He saw that I was having trouble with a scene, and he told me: ‘Follow your intuitions. When you hear action, be free, make a decision and follow it to the end. When it comes from someone like him, you try,» Calva said.
