“I almost caught a flight and went home.
I had enough,” he said.

All kinds of things.
And I just felt like if I’m not wanted here, screw it.
There’s other things I can do.
I dropped out of Le Cordon Bleu to make this movie.
I’ll go be a chef, that’s what my mom wanted me to be anyways.”
“I wanted to fight that guy two or three different times,” he said of Gillespie.
But he’s also fully aware of the positives that came from the film.
“I’m not upset because that movie launched my whole career,” he said.
“I wouldn’t have any of the things I have without that movie.
I wouldn’t have my wife, I wouldn’t have all the other movies I’ve done.”
“I’m sure he’s a hero in someone else’s story.
I’m sure he helped someone else out and they loved him.
But for me, he took a lot of frustration out on me.
EW has reached out to Gillespie’s rep for comment.
