Anya Taylor-Joy & Chris Hemsworth Loved Getting Down & Dirty In 'Furiosa'

so cool I know I'm very excited you I have to say you you've been married since the last time you were here you were I think of a zoom the last time maybe yes yeah yeah yeah yeah um it's so wonderful I feel really really lucky to have found my best friend and yeah I'm just super grateful that's so cool did you get married on April Fool's Day did I hear yes that's hilar I already love you as a couple well we eloped we wanted to keep it a secret and just for us and so we thought if anybody sees it then we can always say that it was a prank um yeah and then we did it for real laser with all of our family and friends I like it you you had kind of a quick marriage too right y'all got married pretty quickly after you met yeah yeah probably eight months I think yeah that's quick Chris yeah that's pretty quick yeah yeah yeah yeah it wasn't April slow it was we uh when you knew you knew when you know you know we were on a holiday and then we had all that family there and said uh let's get married it's more about saving money you know it's just you're already all here one location we're not going to do this again I'm not flying about here again so I I hear that you and your wife have such a love of Brett pit that that's where one of your kids' names came from right one of his characters uh well yeah we I mean love who doesn't love Brad Pit but it it's the character of Tristan in Legends of the Fall which is got to be one of the coolest characters in movie history yeah and uh we were sitting around my wife was pregnant with twins and we had one name Sasha for my other son and we're like what's the other name what's the other name and on he rode you know on screen on on literally on the on the screen on on the horse and we said that's a pretty cool that's a pretty cool character yeah yeah I love that so wa your wife is Spanish so you do you speak Spanish At All by now you've been together for how long yeah um like two sentences it's m in 14 years I've retained she probably loves that though cuz when she gets mad she can just go off in Spanish and I love it cuz I'm like you know what you're saying but it sounds sexy even if you're mad love you too love you too Cafe can let you no that's what you know Cafe andesa okay beer and coffee breakfast and dinner he's great yeah yeah it's fine no judgment hey the dualingo ow is so pissed at me I've been trying to learn Spanish forever so you're both I have to talk about this because you're both excellent at choosing projects cuz anytime I see either one of you in it I'll watch it and I think that that's that's not I can't say that for every actor like are you is there like a method to The Madness of why you pick certain things o what do you I mean money okay love it that's a solid answer solid answer and and green is also my favorite color yeah oh and of course the creative the Arts the I have to be moved Kelly listen I'm from in Australia um how do you choose I mean um I think they speak to you differently I sound so stupid now um yeah they they'd speak to you differently I think I know I'm in trouble when I start like as I'm reading the script I'll start saying the lines out louder I'll start sitting differently and I'm like oh I'm going to make this movie um but yeah that and what he said but it's an interesting transition because the first yeah like came all the way from Australia Hollywood you know a few dollars in the my pocket trying to get a job and it was about take whatever you could get and then once you all of a sudden have a the creative sort of freedom to choose outside of that it's really tricky thing to let go and you get offered these you know big things that might not be as as as full of the quality of the artistic expression but that little the part of your brain that got you there is still going just say yes say yes cuz it's all going to go away it's all going to go away so it's kind of It's Always a bit of a balance indry so that's true it's you don't know what it's going win no matter how long you've been in the industry I feel like this is it's not very forgiving in that s so don't if you get too comfortable yeah that's when it goes away yeah that was a look at their new movie seral Mad Max Saga you can see it in theaters in IMX right now it's so good but the best part had to be I'm a kid that still like plays in the mud with my kids like I I love to be dirty I don't know what that says about me therapist but um but you are just dirty bloody just all of the things this entire movie yeah but you know what it's kind of the best like I had my upbringing in horror movies and if you're diry and bloody then you can sit down wherever you want to sit down you can eat your lunch as messy as you want to eat your lunch you're not just like worried about wrinkles Wasing yeah to be put back on set um so yeah I loved it yeah you love it right yeah you're Australian this is like I feel like yeah yeah it's it's much easier to stay dirty than it is to stay clean yeah yeah I love you give the best answers Chris yeah you think oh on so explain the story to everybody because I was telling you I hadn't seen any anything of the Mad Max I I just hadn't seen that world for some reason I'd missed it this is my first Mad Max film to see I loved it but this is a very intense film like explain it to everybody it is so this is the story of a young girl who was stolen from her home and her Odyssey to get back home now she was from a place called The Green place it was a matriarchal society things are not great but they're working and out there is the Wasteland and so you just see what it's like when we're all just forced into extreme situations and kindness is something that's really um punished yeah mhm it's I mean and for you like for this movie it had to be kind of cool because we're always used to seeing you as the hero and you are not sir in this you are a giant he believed yeah yeah he believed he really good guy um it was really fun yeah it was it was nice departure I think playing the the hero especially in the superhero space yeah which I've Loved there's certain rules expectations and someone that you have to sit between whereas the villains allowed to be a little more unpredictable and boundless and the sort of creative freedom to try things and transform in a way I hadn't before was was incredibly refreshing and a lot of fun and and there was a sort of a Madness to the character that um I could lean into which felt familiar yeah for what went on all right all right well I will say l into it you did a good job of making a total sociopath yeah um like you made me feel for him sometimes because it was like oh what happened like in certain points to them yeah who hurt you what happened to you yeah something we discussed a lot you know that the classic thing you know the villain doesn't think he's a villain the villain thinks he's a hero as does the hero in his story yeah and I'm trying to find moments of humanity and understand that these are all individuals and all products of the Wasteland this this awful place and they've all been pushed to extremes and what would you do to survive you know not just the next week or month but it's the next 4 hours to be fair George did ask me like when we were first making this film he said justify making this movie why are we making this movie and I do think that the Mad Max films have overall been very entertaining cautionary tales I think you want to see the Wasteland on screen I don't think anybody actually wants to live there and so hopefully that leaves you yeah thinking about things as you go home yeah ABS thought provoking absolutely what you so I ADM mention I hadn't seen the others but you play cuz Charlotte stum was in the the original you're the younger her right this is prequel yes yeah that's kind of cool and then you have a little girl yeah yeah yeah this is crazy so there's a little girl in the movie and I was like how did they find this girl she looks so similar like you know except the eye color that I was just like how do y'all look like so similar well the eye color in the movie I guess but like it and then it it was totally AI yeah it's really CRA it a lot of AI they did with this little actor right so George Miller had the idea like very very early on that he wanted because car like the audience was already getting used to a new furiosa he wanted the transition from both actors playing her to be seamless and so I did two days of like the craziest things you could ever possibly imagine and they mixed our faces together and at the beginning of the movie It's 35% and then by the time I pick her up it's gone up to 80% it's insane wild to see I never thought I'd stare at my own eyes and mouth on the face of another person like it was wild I know does that scare you as an actor like I don't know how I feel about it I think it's cool cuz it it made it made the movie incredibly cool because of the AI but at the same time it kind of it worries me too you do you have those reservations absolutely I think in terms of the effect that George was going for he you know got it Spades nailed it um but there's a reason that our industry went on strike you know like it's it is something that is frightening and I think if you're going to use it you have to be honest about it and it always has to be consens ual is the lack of consent in anything in life that is the scary thing yeah well put yeah absolutely well okay you have you were a ballet dancer right up until you were like 13 or 15 15 yeah yeah so do you think that helped in all the like the the Dan surprisingly a lot like fing like yeah absolutely I think it's that idea of precision and like wanting to get something better and better and better and yeah just being able to pull the punch so you don't actually hit someone in the face yeah I you're used to like action I love you in action mov I love I mentioned that earlier I love those too like you're used to all the action stuff right yeah I love it I've done a lot of it and uh it hurts at times and then other times it works out and you kind of have this very cool what feels like a kind of dance sequence where everything just starts to flow and connect and yet it's it's what you're creating is sort of violent and chaotic but in the middle of it kind of is there's a seamless sort of quality to it um but it's yeah it's it's it's about a very large athletic background growing up and so something familiar but something I love doing so is it true that you really didn't shave your head by the way you look incredibly hot with a shaved head fine thank you very much I was so desperate to do it I like made the calls this was happening so psyched went out to Australia and George fell in love with my hair and was just like no you can't lose it um but also we were shooting out of sequins so yeah yeah unbelievable work from our hair and makeup Department that took 5 hours and it was seamless like you could not see it what do you like I complain about the hour and a half I'm in the chair what does one do how many wordscape games can you play like I'm just you surround yourself with really good people and the whole time I love my people but that's a lot of hours y'all but when I saw you come on screen I was like wait what I was like I it took it looks like a you change like they changed you to where I was like that's him right like in the beginning and then like it's insane you look like a different human that was the plan that was the plan yeah well well done did the job did you hate it though cuz you have to sit for hours for that stuff right um yeah I'm not great at sitting still you know like yeah and especially like 3: in the morning or 4 in the morning and it's was about 3 or 4 hours um but to kind of have that transformation look in the mirror and not quite recognize who's staring back at you is helps to get into that the head space um and it was the biggest swing I've been able to take CU you know as far as the sort of the creative departure like we talked about before and yeah and then you know like anything the the sets the costume the prothetics hair makeup they all help tell the story you're trying to um you know have resonate with an audience so I was thankful for it this yeah it was so I was like people are so talented what they can do makeup and I'm just like what I mean they are I don't look like this um they're like Harry Potter uh but anyway so you shot in Australia I love Australia you should go to Australia it's awesome um but did you show people around because you're from there did you tell them where to go um well that's a no okay hang on so we met up at the start of the film had this great rehearsal session and then our characters kind of got separated for the next four months and met up at the very end and an came out to my house toward the end of the shoot met my wife she speaks Spanish they're like Cafe and I was and uh and they hit it off and I was like this whole time I could have got you a coffee and a beer and I could have been so helpful but can I be honest when I went back to Sydney just for the Press tour which is not where I live you know that City better than I do I know and so well she's my tour God okay it's embarrassing as an Australian but she tells me all the cafes and so you know what's funny I don't think we I mean you're not from there but I just think where you live too I don't think you see the site you know like people come in even in Texas people would be like oh have you been to this what's the state fair like I'm like I don't know I had a job y'all I like I didn't get to go to the state bear and hang out like I've never been in hair makeup for 4 hours um oh that sounds like hell so wait so you you drive in the movies so but you don't actually have a license why don't you have a license don't you want that freedom still I so want it especially like having spent more time in LA um that really really sucks um but I just I grew up in London and then I've been working ever since and so I've always gotten everywhere on foot or the Subway or the tube but this is the first thing I learned how to do in a car no that's a lie uh there's another thing called a juicy lift 180 which is the first thing that I learned how to do in a car car and now I really want to get my stunt driver's license as well because the people that teach you how to do that are so freaking I know I was going to say you can like stunt drive but you can't just drive on a highway yeah all right um well I mentioned I mentioned though you 10-year-old Sons right the twins are okay so they're already driving right dirt bikes and stuff they're already doing all that dirt bikes horses um but this is em a motorbike we're going to look how good they are he was eight at the time doing that it's terrifying yeah it's sort of just wild at that age I am not that would have been me that one the little jum my that's my cousin I think um yeah just how I don't know when they're exposed to those kind of things at that age just how quickly they pick them up and I'd rather they were doing it this age when their sort of Minds open and aware and you know I try to do that now and fall apart it breaks no but it brings a level of confidence I think too it changes their personality to just for my kids yeah yeah they're rough and tumble and kind of throw themselves into things with a great amount of enthusiasm and I will say terrifying to watch I know there's that moment though like one of mine flipped a a four-wheeler and I was like I was like and I ran up there and I was like I don't know what's going to happen and like got back up nothing was broken whatever but it like you know it scared but almost like this sounds horrible but since nothing bad happened I'm kind of glad both were there that saw because then I'm like have a little bit of fear healthy yeah well this is one my boy he one of the twins see one of them he's Miss just a touch smarter so he kind of sends the other one in first and he and he's like yeah that looks pretty big you go first they know I there not favorites right I love them both and uh and but one of them is kind of like the crash T dummy and he's been to the the hospital like five times and they've got a room for him they're like you're back Mr Hemsworth come and bring on through and he's had concussions broken arm leg stitches all sorts of things um and I keep waiting for him to go oh okay don't do that again he doesn't stopped it's just like just you know what though it's going to run the world one day I'm telling you what going to run something she's going to run she going to run me off a cliff you're honest M is so awesome okay well no segue there you can see furiosa a Mad Mac Saga in theaters and IMX now it's so good you got to go check it out give it up for Anna and Chris everybody
