“Losing so much has been a big challenge for Nic and is not something he is used to.”

The Moon hit star and his close-knit team are confident that the film will be titled Crazywill be a great success.

“It’s a wild, crazy and fun film that many people will fall in love with and that every football fan will want to see multiple times,” said an insider.
