“I’m sure he would have been sort of contemptuous in a way,” Hollander said. “I’m sure he would have been quite snotty about it. But, he was a rebel, wasn’t he?… He might have gone, ‘Well, I don’t want to be part of that.’ I will instead be in private. I don’t know, but I’m sure he would have had a strong reaction to it.”
Meanwhile, costar Sevigny, 49, talked about parenting a 3-year-old boy, whomshe and her husband Siniša Mačković welcomed in May 2020.
“The more his brain works, the more his vocabulary grows, the more his imagination grows and his love and his empathy for others,” Sevigny told PEOPLE. “It’s just like every day is a joy. Pain in the ass though.”
