“He had all his facts down, and knew how many nominations [Whiplash] had and everything,”Teller offered “and…yeah, it was just funny to me.”
While his fame was still burgeoning, he and Sperry were able to enjoy a fairly private courtship, an actor already down for the count never making quite as many headlines as the ones who are actively playing the field. But ultimately a long-term love story is the kind with a lot of adorable anecdotes.
Such as when he tweeted in April 2016 that he was dating “The one person who has never been to the movies Titanic.”
“She’ll ask me to do something, I’ll say, ‘What?’ and she’ll say, ‘For the last father-f–king time, can you grab me, the da-da-da,'”Teller shared the following: Beginning at 9. “I mean, she’s a sweetheart, she just loves quoting J.K. Simmons to me.”
Sperry doesn’t have to make Teller feel the terror of Simmons’ Oscar-winning performance as his ruthlessly demanding music instructor in Whiplash, she’s still helping his life run as smoothly as possible.
