The Rip Cast Lauds Teyana Taylor
Talking to Entertainment Weekly, Ben lauded his
The Rip co-star Teyana Taylor. He said, "I talked to Paul [Thomas Anderson], and it was like, everybody raves about her."
Further, he added, "I ran into
DiCaprio, and he had nothing but incredible things to say. And these are informal conversations, not in front of a camera or anything, where people will often say, 'Uh, it was tough,' or some kind of signal that maybe it's not what it seems or whatever. But she's really the opposite of that, and she blows people away." Adding to the praise,
Matt Damon shared, "She is awesome. She is absolutely awesome. She's so professional, so great, just a really, really good person. It's so wonderful to see somebody who you know is that talented be received by the world, and for everybody else to realize it. She's clearly somebody with a lot to say and a lot to give. I mean, she's nominated for a Grammy as well. She's just so unbelievably talented with this kind of ambition to put herself out there in so many ways. It's just great to see her acknowledged."
