Part 4/9:
Amid his packed schedule, the guest was also preparing for a significant role, playing Ramirez in the remake of Highlander alongside Henry Cavill. This role—a callback to the character made famous by Connor MacLeod—excited him greatly. Despite the enthusiasm, he candidly admits that, on set, he felt completely exhausted, devoid of his usual energy and motivation.
He describes the surreal experience of turning up regularly at the gym to work on his sword techniques, only to feel “empty.” His struggles became so pronounced that he reached out to his agent to discuss whether he should pause or reassess his commitments, fearing his energy levels would negatively affect the project.
