  • To prepare for the risqué scene, Apollo snapped a nude selfie and sent it to a friend, asking 'You think I'm good?' - a true Hollywood insider move.
  • Despite the film's controversial timing after a divisive election, Apollo is proud to be part of a story about 'love and loss that transcends sexuality' that he hopes will 'open somebody's mind' in the conservative state of Indiana where he's from.
