The actor said, "In the film, our characters are like peas in a pod. So naturally, we became close off the set. Ethan Hawke's family would visit the set, too. We even became acquainted with each other's family. On days he wasn't filming, I would go drinking with him. I noticed that Ethan Hawke is very literary. He gifted the first edition of his third book to me. I still remember that moment to this day. I'm just so happy that I became friends with an actor I was a fan of."�

Meanwhile, 'The Magnificent Seven' is set to premiere on September 14 in Korea and September 23 in the U.S., so catch it on the big screen!�
