“Yeah, they’re both absolutely stellar, wonderful actors, and they’re playing incredible characters. Margot is this force of nature, and Valerie is a force of nature,” Bale explains. “Valerie is based on these various artists; these Dada artists of the era. And JD’s at a wonderful place, because he’s an incredibly experienced actor and has great life experience as well. We’re starting to see more of him, but you don’t know much about him—or at least I don’t yet.” He continues, saying he loves Washington’s character and the friendship pact they’ve created inAmsterdam. “And so it’s such a delight to watch him in this film, and just see him as Harold. It’s been a real pleasure to work with the two of them and create this triangle of friends who have a pact, and have a friendship that I think most people are going to watch and go, ‘I want to have that friendship.'”
