While sitting for an interview with the entertainment portal, the Hollywood star shared, “I don’t know how good I would have been in a rom-com.” He added, “I think Maleficent was the closest thing to me; I thought she was in love with Diaval. I thought it was a bit of a rom-com; I might have been the only one there.”
