The 27-year-old told Parade's Jeanne Wolf that he does take those jabs at Saverin somewhat personally. "Of course I feel an affinity for him. And when I read negative things about him, I do want to defend him."
Channeling Facebook's first CFO, Eduardo Saverin.
"I didn't meet him. I wish I had. Eduardo seems to be the most mysterious of all the characters as he seems to have vanished after the lawsuit he had with Mark. He was impossible to find. He's probably happy somewhere, enjoying his life and, wherever he is, I wish him the best and I hope that he isn't offended. But I spent five months playing him and experiencing the pain and the challenges he went through."
Who was the good guy and who was the bad guy at Facebook?
"There is no wrong and there is no right -- and everyone is in the right and everyone's in the wrong. It's very rare that you find a film that's so great that leaves you kind of confused. From my own subjective view, I feel like he behaved incredibly with good morals and loyalty toward his friend Mark and he was betrayed. He was mistreated and wronged."
Were they all in above their heads?
"These guys were so young. That's one of the themes of the movie -- maybe too young to be able to deal with all of this overwhelming amount of power, success and that new technological landscape that was being developed. But they were all brilliant in their own way. It was the right time those particular skills was necessary and could be capitalized on."
His Facebook confession.
"I have an unusual relationship with Facebook. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. It takes far too much of my energy and time -- time I should be spending working or making myself a better person instead of looking at pictures of my friends having fun at great parties in London. It's a terrible, terrible thing."
He's known for his darker roles.
"I like to do light roles equally. But in the work I've done, it seems like there's a pattern that I have taken on roles that are pained, journeys that are difficult. I don't know why that is. But I'm getting closer and closer to wanting to express some buoyancy and some goofiness. I can definitely be a ridiculous human being. That's not a stretch for me."
His upcoming role as the new Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man has his own conflicts, tortured but also having fun with what he can do. It's that attitude towards life like, 'Today's a good day to die. You gotta go out with a with a bang.' I think that's definitely an Indiana Jones quality, that fearlessness, throwing caution to the wind. I'm very excited to jump into that."
Approaching the big 3-0.
"I still look 18 years old, and I can convince people that I'm a teenager still. I have my teen side. I'm still very insecure and I can get rebellious and act out and kick and scream and mope around like teenagers do. So the majority of me is still a teenager."
How his girlfriend, actress Shannon Woodward (Raising Hope) feels about his rising star status.
"I think my girlfriend is proud of me and the fact that I've remained grounded. I think I'm just busier. That's the main thing. I haven't got as much time to mope about and complain that I'm bored. She travels with me when she's not working. Whenever we have time, we're together. When I'm on my own, you'd find me in the ocean surfing."
