Hebron said to establish “a strong connection, you basically break the ice.”
“I think that’s my approach. Just be personable, break the ice, and get to know the person. It’s almost like you’re dating,” he explained of the process of building chemistry with his female co-star.
“You start dating them a little bit, not like personally, but professionally. Find out where you have commonalities,” Hebron said. “What you want to do is find something that you like about this person that you can turn into loving about the person on screen. It’s just finding those commonalities and points of interest that y’all share. It’s like going on a first date.”
