Ellar shared that seeing them all made him miss “being on set” and “collaborating” together.

That being said, he also admitted he didn’t enjoy the fame that came with starring in Boyhood.

“When it released, when I became famous and was going around doing a million Q&A’s and parties, I didn’t enjoy that part so much,” he shared. “But I never wavered in production. I loved it. It was a really wonderful experience for me.”
