And now, Stan has nothing but praise to say for Mackie after learning about Mackie’s directorial debut. In an interview with Esquire for his new show Pam & Tommy, Stan shared his excitement for Mackie as well as his praise.

“This is great, this is amazing,” Stan said. “He’s gonna kill this. I mean, he’s… Listen, he’s… Talk about energy, you know? He’s one of the most charismatic people I’ve ever met in my entire life, and he will, no matter what, always lift you up. I just think him in a leadership role of any kind is good.”

Stan went on to talk about the famous interview clip of Stan and Mackie that has made its way to TikTok fame: “We were on some red carpet or something and he goes, I don’t know what he said, he said something like, ‘Man, Sebastian Stan, you’re looking good, pow pow pow.’ I’m telling you, I get more people saying that to me now than anything else ever. They’re like, ‘pow pow pow,’ I’m like, ‘thanks.’ I guess Anthony coined that, you know, but that was pretty good.”
