“Doing Hamnet made him realize that the most important thing about being an artist is learning to be vulnerable enough to let ourselves be seen as we are and not as we should be. And to give ourselves fully to the world,” he said. “Even the parts of ourselves that we’re ashamed of, that we’re afraid of, that are imperfect, so that the people we talk to can also see themselves and fully accept themselves.”
Meanwhile, Buckley talked about the film’s diverse cast in his own acceptance speech.

“This is not a normal feeling or situation, but thank you Golden Globes,” Buckley said. “Focus (Focus) and everyone who supported this film. Chloé, Paul, maggie (O’Farrellauthor), Emily (Watson), Jacobi, Joe and 400 extras. i adore you I would love to be in that Globe for the rest of my life with you.
