“Interestingly, I think — I only wrapped Mufasa this year and we’ve been doing that for a good few years now. I think in a way, similar to life, your life experiences inform your future life experiences. Similarly, the opportunities that you’re gifted as an actor, as an artist, what you learn and what you harnessed from one job, you take those lessons that you absorbed and you bring them to the next thing to hopefully enhance your capability to bring something to life,” he told ComicBook.com.
FYI: Aaron is wearing Fendi Men’s.
