Millepied, for his part, opened up to Us on Thursday about how his first experience working with his wife helped him prepare for Carmen, which marks his directorial debut of a full-length film.

Seeing just how every director has a different way to achieve interesting performances,” he explained. “I think … the toughest part of the journey was really understanding why I was so attracted to making film as an artist … then now as a director and working on the script and then working with actors.”
