“You hear ‘HAHAHAHA!’ from the video village when a sequence works,” Liu told GQ. “Assholes on a Greta Gerwig set to have no chance.”
Achieving Gerwig’s grin on set was “the best feeling in the world,” Liu said, especially since Gerwig chose Liu in part because he was in a competitive hip-hop dance company in college.
