Michael Johnston on Obsession, Bear's Dark Descent & that Alternate Ending
About this episode
Tommy DiDario interviews actor Michael Johnston about his role in the film 'Obsession' and various aspects of his acting career.
This week, Tommy is joined by actor Michael Johnston who plays Bear in Obsession, one of the biggest break-out movie of the year. Directed by Curry Barker, the film centers on Bear who uses a supernatural "One Wish Willow" to make his crush (played by Inde Navarrette) fall in love with him, only to trigger a deadly, twisted obsession. Today, Michael opens up about the moment his heartbeat was heard pounding on the mic during a particular scene, how he practiced self-care during such an intense shoot, the moment he thinks Bear realized something was wrong after he broke the One Wish Willow, the moments Inde’s performance genuinely scared him, why he can’t judge Bear as an actor even though he knows he’s a villain, whether Nikki ever truly loved Bear, the scene(s) he and Inde kept breaking in (due to lots of laughter), the alternate ending that was filmed, his pitch for the sequel and whether he wants to be in it, what acting has taught him about himself, why he wants to play a powerful gay character in an upcoming project, whether we can expect new music, why Teen Wolf will forever be meaningful to him, and so much more. And catch the mini…
