Before I started doing the film and when I found out I was going to be doing it, I just decided to pump up on the whole cardio stuff. Just in terms of stamina. ↗
But it's a very universal story and the thing is I was reluctant to answer that question because I don't want people latching on to a particular stereotype. ↗
