He continued, “I’m a private person and very protective over my home life outside of this world. It’s a vulnerable moment knowing the person I love is about to be under the same microscope I am. Especially when their career is very far from this industry. My face reflects anxiety. The gum helps with nerves. Please be kind and I hope you see this film X.”

Brandon is also starring in the western series 1923 and expressed that his girlfriend helped him with his mindset when he was away filming. “It was very intense and I was away from home for about five months,” he told Forbes . “It was the first time I had done something like that, where I was gone for that long. It was really jarring because we were in Africa, so you’re 9-11 hours ahead and you can’t really communicate with anybody and we shot six days a week.” He recounted that it was really challenging. “I’m a home body – I love to be home with my partner and my dog and my house. The irony is I have a job that takes me everywhere, which I love, too. It’s a weird dichotomy.”
