It took Judy a few takes before he was able to give a good take. It wasn't because he was having trouble performing his role but he would be too scared and stunned by Aiden's intense eyes everytime.
He was being overwhelmed by a far superior acting and he knew it too.
That's why, after the scene finished, his views about Aiden changed very quickly. He forgot his dissatisfactions with him and just praised him on any chance he got.
Aiden's acting had made him appreciate him. And one only needs that to win over another actor. A sense of respect for the craft would emerge.
That's what had happened here.
It was not only Judy who thought that. Most of the people in the set were very surprised and stunned by Aiden's performance.
A lot of the cast was also present during the original movie. And even they have not expected to see him grow so much in just some years.
It was almost miraculous. The speed at which he was growing.
