Brie, who is the frontrunner for the Best Actress prize at the Oscars this year, is featured on the cover of Variety‘s new issue. She opened up to the mag about working with her 8-year-old co-star Jacob.
“I remember how some people would talk down to me, and I never liked it,” Brie said. “So I always treated Jacob as an equal… To go through all this with him is amazing, because I can never fly too high. All the buzz, all the talk, and he just wants to know when he can go see a cougar, because they’re his favorite animal.”
