The script in general was such a masterful work of art and I just read it and immediately was like, &#x27;I need to I need to find a way that I can convince Graham to be in it.&#x27;,&quot; Deutch said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Lea Thompson and Zoey Deutch.

She described having an artistic family &#x27;a funny dynamic.&#x27;</p><p>&quot;Because we&#x27;re all in the business and we have a shorthand with each other. Sometimes we&#x27;re just like, &#x27;no, we&#x27;re not going to talk at all about it. And then a lot of times, it&#x27;s funny because my girls call my husband a lot for advice. I&#x27;m always like, ‘Why don’t you call me for advice? Why are you always calling him?&#x27;,&quot; Thompson quipped.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Dylan O" Brien="" and="" Zoey="" Deutch.="" Courtesy:="" Focus="" Features="" src="https://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/2022/tfc/03/18/20220318_dylan-o-brien-and-zoey-deutch.jpg"/><figcaption>Dylan O&#x27;Brien and Zoey Deutch. <em>Courtesy: Focus Features “The Outfit”</em></figcaption></figure></div><p>&#x27;The Outfit&#x27; also stars Dylan O&#x27;Brien who portrays the son of a dangerous man. &quot;With that comes like a lot of daddy issues.
