Evangeline has worked with Jeremy previously, in the 2008 film The Hurt Locker, that won the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director.

Evangeline opened up about the experience of working with Jeremy in the film and how she was so impressed with his energy and verve.
Talking to Access Hollywood in an interview on Tuesday, Evangeline opened up about the actor’s current recovery when she visited his house. “I walked in his house and got chicken skin because I was like, ‘Why are you mobile? Why are you mobile? What’s happening?’ I expected to sit at his bedside and hold his hand, while he moaned and groaned in pain, and wasn’t able to move. He was wheeling himself around, laughing with his friends. It’s a miracle. It’s a straight-up miracle. He’s made of something really tough, that guy. And, you know, you’ve always been able to see that in him and he is recovering incredible… I mean, he had a near-death experience that was highly traumatic, and he was awake for the whole thing. I’m still having moments where some of the stuff he told me that he experienced and retelling me the story of what went on and the things he could hear and the things that he could see… He’s recovered like a mofo.” she concluded.
Jeremy had recently posted on Instagram about his treatment in the hospital, where he underwent surgery for blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries. The actor took to Instagram on Monday to share an update on the show and wrote: “We are so very excited to share the Rennervations show with you all on Disney plus coming very soon!!!
