''There's nothing more emasculating than working out with Chris Hemsworth.''

Logan Lerman also spoke at length about working with the legendary Al Pacino, who was also present during the interview, in Prime Video's Hunters. He said,

''Oh my god! Can you...I mean, c'mon, it's incredible! He's, like, the greatest that's ever done it. The best actor ever. And I just was so excited when I found out and to be able to spend so much time with you (speaking to Al Pacino) has been one of the greatest joys, experiences of my life.''
