TBH I really don't think he could have answered it any other way because it reveal
1. Hes in a relationship with his costar or has been in one. (Too early and it would dispute his past dating rumor)
2. Unprofessional ~ unable to separate real to real
3. He has a responsibility to protect the integrity of the filming process and his future filming projects.
4. Paints himself in a negative light because of the potential to fall in love with his actresses even if he says "I don't know " which would create much controversy surrounding his casting calls. Its quite possible it could hinder his ability to get offers if he had said something different.
*still waiting on the videos. I'm surprised their are no videos yet if anyone finds that please share so l can get a defensive answer f
