In the Esquire UK interview, Turner also reflected on the 2016 death of his close friend and fellow actor Anton Yelchin.

The reflection showed a personal side rarely seen in Turner's public interviews.
Turner declined to comment on ongoing rumors linking him to the James Bond franchise. Instead, he kept the focus on marriage, family, and supporting each other through demanding careers. E! Online noted that the couple has spoken openly about how they inspire one another while balancing their high-profile work lives.
