On why he decided to play in the thriller "disappeared": "I'm not too often reading a thriller, where a husband or wife turn out to be a killer. But, I think Gillian [Flynn, the screenwriter] created a very skillful story. It turned out more accurate, more elegant. And develops the theme of marriage, the relationship, what we are ready to give each other. And all this skillfully wrapped in a thriller shell. In fact, under this shell hidden something more rough and resonant. "
That he tried to fluff in a casino : "This is a real story. That is, it really was. I needed time to master the game, and I became a good player in blackjack. And as soon as I went to a great level, the casino asked me no longer playing. It turns out that being a good player is against the casino rules. This should tell you about the very essence of the casino. They are kind and hospitable when they believe that you will leave their money from them. And if you feel that it turns out on the contrary, then try to sick. "
That his wife was with him during a casino scandal : "This is all nonsense, which is invented by tabloids. Full nonsense. Lies. I can show you dozens of articles from Star or OK! - These editions quietly come up with a bunch of ridiculous history details. And nothing to do with it. The only hope that in people there is enough sense to understand the entire absurdity of these stories. "
