I can’t do it,'" he tells EW.
“But it’s such a brilliant, brilliant episode.
“That is already an enticing question as to how does that dynamic play out?

That creates a whole new dynamic.”
“I was really looking forward to dig into that more,” he adds.
It’s a very dark episode, and where Louis takes himself is obviously very heavy.

But there are other things that were in it that were unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.”
The actor also loves how much there is to read between the lines.
“But Louis is essentially a heroin addict at that point.
He’s getting secondhand highs from people, and that’s what he’s seeking.
That’s really the darkest point in Louis' story.
The thing that takes him where he goes is connected to the other darkest point in his life.
The writing in that episode is just incredible.
It’s really the best.”
“It was a lot,” he says with a sigh.
“It was hard.
Emotionally, it was quite taxing.
I take a lot of Louis to heart, and that was a tough day.
And I didn’t really know it was going to be like that.”
“Oh, it’s so tragic,” Zaman says.
“You think in that moment that he might be true to himself and let Louis go.
Maybe Louis might have chosen to come back to Armand.
But we don’t know.
He robbed Louis of that choice by not saying it.”
“I would’ve been a mess.
But I had decent time to prepare for all of those scenes and speeches.
I wasn’t sure really what was going to come out.
I wasn’t sure how my Armand was going to manifest itself.
You close your eyes and hit and hope, and that’s kind of what I did.
I just sort of went with it, and that’s what came out.
I don’t know how much control I had over it, really, if I’m honest.”
“I hate competition between men I just hate it so much.
I have no energy or time for it.
It’s just vulnerable, and it’s lovely.
What an honor to get to do this.'”
