“I was like, ‘Yes, I’m one of the few people that get to call Mr De Niro Bob,’ so I feel super cool,” she said.

“It was such an amazing experience to work in a way that is so organic and natural that it really doesn’t matter what a script says when somebody is trying to find something real and you’ve gotta help them do it,” she said.
“It was a great learning experience for me as an actress,” she added. (ANI)
