“That’s a very traumatic moment for me,” he teased. “We were young, we were at Neverland and we watched it on the big screen at the theatre that we had there. The moment — not the full wearcat — but in between the transformation when he’s like, ‘Get Away!’ The teeth and the eyes, it just terrified me.”
“After we finished the music video, he said, ‘You guys should be careful. You know you can’t be around me when the full moon comes up because that’s real.’”
