“For me, the challenge, of course, was the months and months I spent training to line dance. It was a stunt for me,” he said, via Variety. “Tom Cruise has nothing on me.” As the audience cheered at the joke, he sheepishly added, “In terms of line dancing.”

Gavin asked those in attendance not to post spoilers online and Ben cracked another joke, “Please don’t talk about my nude scene.”

Gavin responded, “There was a nude scene but we cut it. He practiced line dancing in front of the mirror,” to which Ben then said, “It was a choice! I liked it!”
