"Actually, I'm always really impressed with how down-to-earth and grounded he is around all these things."

During the interview, he also spoke at length about the second season of his show, Carnival Row season 2. He mentioned how the break due to COVID-19 helped the series:

''I think it was a bit of a blessing, but we shut down like many people did for the whole COVID period and that turned into a longer thing for us. But it made it kind of awesome because we got to go back and add a couple of elements to the show for this - which season 2 now becomes the finale, which is fantastic.''
