Nat Wolff is spilling on how he prepped for his highly anticipated animated movie Leap!

In the film, the Paper Towns star lends his voice to the character Victor, a “lovable goofball” who helps an orphan girl as she runs away to Paris and chases her ballerina dreams.

“My preparation for this role is, I spent six months in an orphanage,” Nat said in Just Jared‘s exclusive behind-the-scenes video. “No, I’m just kidding.”

“I’d never done an animated film before,” he continued. “So I watched some of my favorite animated movies from when I was a kid, like the three Toy Story movies that I love, Finding Nemo, and Cars … just cause I wanted to get into that world. It is definitely a different animal, and I learned a lot going through the process.”

Leap! also stars Elle Fanning, Carly Rae Jepsen, Maddie Ziegler, and more.
