Jason

Q: What does it mean to you to be part of this franchise? A: Well, there is a Jason Bourne touch – it looks real. It looks real, it feels real and it’s totally engaging because it looks like the world we’ve seen through the news these last years. So I guess that’s the idea really. Q: Your character is like a machine – he’s relentless in his pursuit of Bourne. What is it that drives him? A: Remorse. When you spend your life doing something and believing it’s the right thing to do and suddenly another soldier decides it’s not the way to do it and gets free (of it) then your whole world becomes not so real any more. Q: Matt likes to do a lot of his own stunts. What was your approach? A: You do stunts that you can do. Stunts are a real art in itself and it’s really tough. What they do with the cars, you can’t do as an actor. Anyway, the insurance won’t let you do it. Q: What would you do at the end of filming each day?

A: Get a massage (laughs). Honestly, when you are doing fight scenes all day, with all those shots, all those takes, it’s the only thing to do – get a massage – especially if you are not 20 years old and you can wake up and do it again the next day, otherwise you can’t. I think Matt (left) felt the same way. Q: When you perform in another language does that affect how you play a role? A: To a certain extent I don’t feel like I have to learn my lines in French. You know, you read it, you know the idea and if something goes wrong (clicks fingers) you will get back on your feet. In another language it’s more work. Q: How was it working with Paul Greengrass? A: Easy. Paul is a gentleman. He is very precise in what he wants and you can feel that. If he is not happy – even if everybody else is happy – if he doesn’t feel it’s right because of a little detail he will stop, think about it and do it again. It has to do with reality. Coming from the documentary world, Paul needs that flavour of reality.
