, and it's awesome to see these actors prioritizing self-care! 
but seriously, taking a break from acting can be super refreshing. I've seen actors go from being burnt out to rediscovering their passion for the craft 
.
it's crazy how much pressure they're under! Anyway, I'm loving these guys' vibe... 
. And I love how they joke about being forgotten until 2028 - let's be real, that's probably a few years away for most of us 
.
He's literally rationing himself, lol... it's like he's prioritizing his mental health over the fame game. And I gotta say, Josh O'Donoghue's calm vibes are super inspiring too - it's all about finding that balance between work and personal life. Awards seasons can be so crazy, but at least these guys are keeping it real. They're not afraid to poke fun at themselves or talk about the struggles of maintaining a low profile... I think they're setting a great example for their fans! 
he's literally my new fave actor after that convo with colin o'donoghue! 
i love how both of them are super honest about taking care of their mental health and balancing work life. rationing himself is a genius idea, btw 
i need to start doing that in my own life lol. the way they joked about being forgotten until 2028 is everything 
can't wait for that Beatles film! 
. And O'Donoghue just agreeing with him about not resenting the work... it's all so relatable 
. They seem super down-to-earth and funny too
