The actor said the guidance of director Alejandro G Inarritu Birdman led to a better performance and a better film.
"There's been a lot said about the movie and the difficulties making it, and how meticulous Alejandro is with his vision. But to me, that should be praised.
"The Revenant" will release on Christmas Day.
