“It is a wild! It’s so much action in this movie. I’m a vampire hunter, my first time playing a vampire hunter, and I love it. I love vampires. I don’t know why. I love all the blades and underworld. I just think it’s so cool, vampires and werewolves and all that stuff. I just have always wanted to be in that kind of project.”

Check out the full interview below:
“It’s not like I love blood and guts. Yeah. I mean, I do like all the weapons in the movie. I do think that’s fun in a fun way,…. ’cause I don’t do it in real life. So doing it in a movie is like, “Ooh, yay, I get to have some fun. I don’t own a gun, but in a movie, I shoot six different guns and it’s just pure fantasy.”
