“He had all his facts down, and knew how many nominations [Whiplash] had and everything,” Teller offered, “and…yeah, it was just funny to me.”
While his fame was still burgeoning, he and Sperry were able to enjoy a fairly private courtship, an actor already down for the count never making quite as many headlines as the ones who are actively playing the field. But ultimately a long-term love story is the kind with a lot of adorable anecdotes.

“She’ll ask me to do something, I’ll say, ‘What?’ and she’ll say, ‘For the last father-f–king time, can you grab me, the da-da-da,'” Teller shared on Starting 9. “I mean, she’s a sweetheart, she just loves quoting J.K. Simmons to me.”
And when Sperry isn’t making Teller relive the terror of Simmons’ Oscar-winning turn as his ruthlessly demanding music teacher in Whiplash, she’s still helping his life run as smoothly as possible.
