‘you’re my baby’, say it to me.
Here is a Jude&Willem edit i made after finishing A Little Life’s play, it was honestly a hundred times better than i expected; The actors held nothing back and seeing Jude and Willem’s relationship on screen made me incredibly happy.
Hope you’ll enjoy this little edit I made that took way too long to finish, but nevertheless i like the outcome.
