“We ended up having really great chats on FaceTime, like we were dating or something,” Jeremy told People, adding that Robert helped distract him from the “other-worldly pain” that he was experiencing.

He continued, joking that Robert pushed him to get back to work on Mayor of Kingstown. “He’s like, ‘You’ve got to get back to do Mayor, because we need to see what happens,’” he recalled with a laugh. “His ways are very heartwarming.”

Another instance of Robert‘s funny support: “He’s like, ‘Dude, the most important thing is you look good. I don’t care how you feel, as long as you look good that’s all that matters.’”

Of course, Jeremy has gotten back to set.

If you forgot, the actor has previously reflected on his bond with his Marvel costars. He also revealed which one of them was the “toughest,” and it was not him or Robert.
