Ethan Hawke appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to discuss his involvement in Taylor Swift’s music video for “Fortnight” from her album The Tortured Poets Department.

Hawke shared his experience working on the video with his friend Josh Charles and joked about feeling like rock stars on set. “We’re going to meet the Queen ourselves,” the Oscar nominee shared. “For Josh and I, we laughed ourselves silly the whole day. We felt like the biggest rock stars in the world. Josh is different than me. I tried to look low-key. Josh, we got to Taylor’s camp. He’s like, ‘Hey, you guys got any sushi?’ ‘Oh, let’s get some sushi in here right now.’ We had the best sushi I ever had in my life.”

He signed a nondisclosure agreement for the project and couldn’t tell his daughters about meeting Swift, which disappointed them. “The truth is when they did find out, the look on their face was one of profound disappointment,” said Hawke.
