Miles Teller Discusses Whiplash
Linking up with GQ, Miles Teller discusses working with J.K. Simmons on Whiplash. “J.K. is such an incredible actor,” says Teller. “We have very similar styles—we can go into a scene, and it can be really intense and this and that, and then as soon as it’s done we can make a joke. It kind of breaks the tension.”

Did Miles Teller Get Slapped in Whiplash?
Miles Teller recalls when Simmons assaulted him as part of the film. Teller explains, “I mean, when he slapped me in the face, we first tried to film it where he wasn’t actually slapping me, and then we watched it, and they said, ‘That doesn’t look right. Miles, would it be OK if he actually slaps you?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah!’ Then he started to slap me. And he did the first two times; I just started laughing in the middle of it; it was just so bizarre.”

Did Miles Teller Play the Drums in Whiplash?
As far as the drumming in Whiplash, Miles Teller shares, “I did all my own drumming. I mean, I think there are some shots that are just really tight on the hands, and in general, I try not to get my hands to in a real close up because I have a fat thumb.”
Teller adds, “I chew my nails; it just looks gnawed. Not a good look for a close-up. So some of that stuff I think Damien actually did because Damian’s a really talented drummer. But yeah, I mean, I learned all those songs, that’s all my audio.”
