The actor's Candid Playlist: Unpacking His Soundtrack of Life

The track that captured my heart
One autumn afternoon, I stayed home ill at age six. My mother wondered, "Have you really not listened to the Beatles? She played Help! the film, following that I played it repeatedly on her iPod throughout the day.

The track I perform at sing-alongs
Anything David Bowie is really fun, such as Fame or Queen Bitch. No one sounds like Bowie, yet I adore the vibe. Recently I performed Save Me by the artist Aimee Mann, which didn't engage the crowd, though I loved it.

My initial album purchase
Peers enjoyed Paradise by Coldplay, so I bought Mylo Xyloto from the retail chain. It was during my first LA visit. I wanted to get some music. I bought Coldplay and Thriller on the same day.

The track whose lyrics I memorized
My sibling had Incredibad from the comedy group as a compact disc. He had it on regularly in the car. Experiencing something material considered off-limits was really fun.

The best song to play at a party
The Emotions' Best of My Love because it sounds happy. It has a perfect beat. It's accessible music, cool and challenging, thus appealing to all.

The track I avoid now
During my rock introduction, I was into Guns N' Roses. When I first listened to that famous track, I grew fascinated, though presently I skip it.

The best song to cover
Currently, my band and I are covering the Only Ones classic. I adore that track.

The transformative music
I participated in the clip for that punk track. I portrayed the younger self of the singer. This marked my video debut. It revealed heavier sounds, driving me toward alternative culture.

The tear-jerking melody
Belinda Says by Alvvays.

The song I'd like played at my funeral
There's a running gag concerning this idea. I'm uncertain about choosing it, yet Grizzly Bear's Half Gate.
