Immediately the actor explained that he told his manager, “What, what do you mean, let’s call her back?” and relates that he immediately called Greta to explain what happened. “I mean, he didn’t ruin anything, but he said ‘manage her expectations that you might not want to do it’ and I was like how could I not do it,’ and I actually needed to do it,” Cera explained.
