In a new interview, O'Brien reflected on filming the dystopian sci-fi film that left him in an accident, saying the experience changed his approach to conducting himself on film sets and how he puts his own safety first.
"It was a life-changing incident. I approached everything differently, you could say, especially my stance on set," O'Brien told Men's Health. "It's a very common culture for young actors to be controlled, and the way they try to do that is they're always like, 'Oh, don't be difficult. Don't be a pain in the ass. Or are you complaining, are you being difficult?' Things like that."
O'Brien noted that he "learned after the accident not to confuse taking care of yourself with taking care of yourself."
