- In "A Classic Horror Story (2021)", Justin played a young teenager Samuel 19 in a meta-scene where he was watching the film itself. While the film actually featured a minor actor participating in a terrifying and violent plot, since the film was rated 14+ it could not show a minor watching it. Thus, right before the film was released, the scene was edited out of the final cut.
- When Justin was ten, he learned ancient Egyptian writing on his own and is now learning Japanese. He appreciates Italian and Japanese cuisine. He appreciates the works of Charles Dickens, R.Kipling and Johnathan Swift and Jerome.K.Jerome and Neil Alan Druckmann.
