He gave me like a little nickname, it's like Bao Wow to me all the time and I was like I can't break the fourth wall but you know V is talking to me directly in camera. So they all have their moments, and Jin is so warm and we played a little tennis together. I, at the end, when we're done shooting I was like you want to hit around? And I'm so rusty and that was a really fun moment."
