Liam Hemsworth has recently opened up about his “instant connection” with Lonely Planet onscreen leading lady Laura Dern.
Speaking to PEOPLE, the Hunger Games star, who is 23 years younger than Laura, said, “We didn’t know each other beforehand.”
“It was weird. It felt like we’d known each other for a long time, and there was this instant trust there, and connection,” continued the 34-year-old.
Liam told the outlet, “And as we worked together, that just grew and evolved.”
Reflecting on his working experience with Laura, The Duel actor explained, “We had such a great time doing this project together. And it was a really unexpected, wonderful surprise to work with someone that I was already such a big fan of and is obviously an amazing, brilliant actress.”
Gushing over his onscreen actress, Liam further said, “When you meet someone you are a fan of and respect so much, you don’t want to come across as an idiot or seem silly. But when we met, all of a sudden it was like, ‘Oh, I’m speaking to someone that understands me and hears me.’”
“We got along and we never had to do any sort of work to find that relationship. We had this connection and it was sort of… what do you call it? Life imitating art or the other, art imitating life?” added The Last Song actor.
Meanwhile, Liam and Laura’s chemistry can be seen in Lonely Planet which will begin streaming on Netflix from October 11.
