I think Nicholas Chavez was fired from his vague answers.

Someone is lying.

Jennifer says Nicholas Chavez had to be deleted. That's common

Nicholas comments says something else.

He just remembers Australia, cherry pickings with his girlfriend.

When asked about the sequel. His answer makes me question Jennifer's statement.

All about if I feel the love and respect from the crew and the cast, that answer leads me to believe Nicholas was fired, and just enjoyed a paid trip to Australia by Sony.
