Charles Melton joins the show to talk about his role in Todd Haynes' May December. The film follows Gracie (Julianne Moore) and her husband Joe (Melton), whose notorious romance gripped the nation when it made tabloid news twenty years ago. When a Hollywood actress (Natalie Portman) meets them to do research for a film about their past, the couple buckles under the pressure.

Melton recounts the chemistry read with Moore that led to his casting, explains how he and Haynes developed Joe's character leading up to the shoot, and details what it was like to film his first scene with Portman. 

He also explains how playing football in high school and college has informed his team-mentality as an actor, expresses gratitude for the unwavering support his parents have shown throughout his acting journey, and describes a few of his favorite pastimes -- which include camping with his Siberian Husky, Neya.
