He\u2019s got this very youthful spirit, and his generosity of spirit is wide and large.

It was a great way to get to know each other for us too because we\u2019re in the studio for hours \u2014 before we got to go on set and play this very intimate married couple, we got to spend good time together\u201d working on the music.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n\tWriter-director Craig Brewer added his perspective on that day, remembering, \u201cThat was magical, it really was.
