'But he has gone further than you could ever have imagined with this character, and really made [Gatsby] so multi-dimensional, and so flawed and so vulnerable, and yet so macho and sexy — everything that you want in Gatsby.'
Carey also 'loved' working with the actor, who she famously kissed during the audition for Daisy. 'It was amazing,' she said. 'From the first audition he was so incredible generous and sweet and was helping me the whole way through.'

'This is arguably the greatest American novel,' he recently told 60 Minutes. 'Everyone has their own connection to this book, so you are almost setting yourself up for disaster in a lot of ways.
'It's an incredibly ambitious
undertaking,' he added. 'Not just to portray Jay Gatsb but to just do
the novel. I remember reading the novel as a youth and seeing it as a
traditional love story.
'Picking it up as an adult, you realise what a great tragedy Jay Gatsby is. He is a very hollow character, a very empty one and a very tragic person.'
