Aaron Pierre chats with ET's Deidre Behar at the premiere of 'Lanterns,' which debuts Sunday, Aug.16 on HBO and HBO Max. The 32-year-old actor gushes over the internet affectionately nicknaming him 'America's boyfriend,' and co-star Kyle Chandler 'America's husband.' After expericing a surge of fame in recent years, thanks to role in 'Mufase,' 'Star Wars: Starfighter' and the DCU superhero series, Aaron says he's taking it 'one day at a time' and he's most moved by all the love he's received. Plus, he says he feels 'an equal amount of enormous responsibility' to both 'Star Wars' and DC fans. As for Kyle, Aaron doesn't hold back praising his buddy on screen and off, and even playfully ribs him for asking for apple boxes to stand on when 6'3 Aaron's near.
