Jackson's friendship with Larson developed during the filming of "Kong: Skull Island" and solidified further on the set of "Unicorn Store." He recounted how their shared challenging experiences on "Kong: Skull Island" initially brought them together. Later, while Larson was directing "Unicorn Store," Jackson playfully questioned why she hadn't considered him for a role, leading to his eventual involvement in the project.
