(upbeat instrumental music) - How did you find
working with Greta Gerwig? - No, how did you find
working with Greta Gerwig? - No, please.
(laughing) - And what about Saoirse?
(giggling) - I can talk about Saoirse Ronan-- - For the rest of my life. - For the rest of my
life, all day, every day. Greta Gerwig, is the weirdest, bubbliest, most intelligent, colorful, burst of life that I've had the pleasure of knowing. - She's a special, special soul. - And then working with her
is the same thing as well. - I know. It feel like working with someone that you simultaneously
feel so comfortable with but also admire so much.
- Yeah, yeah. - It's like a weird blend of like, - Yeah.
- Older sister, mentor, like inspiration.
- Totally. - Kind of all wrapped into one-- - And she speaks the same language and I think we've been
doing a couple of Q and A's at the moment for Little Women and we've all touched on the fact that, it must have been because
she is, was, an actress and so understands how it feels to be not only in the audition room, not only to send away
tapes but to be uncertain in how crucial that dialogue is. - Absolutely, and I feel like she also, she like really blends the cast and crew in such a beautiful way.
- Yeah. - I think Saoirse does the same thing. I remember on Lady Bird I
felt like she was just as much a member of the crew as much as the cast, which was really beautiful. - I loved that film so much. What was it like making it? - I was so green, like
looking back on it I'm like, they were so nice to me.
(laughing) I felt like I was like this, you know, I'm older than Saoirse but
I felt like this little, you know, new, like wide
eyed deer, just being like, thanks for letting me come guys! - Thanks for letting me come? I'll pay you!
- But I've heard from Greta that you were not
that way on Little Women, and that you were so confident and I wanna hear all about it. - Oh no what has she said about me? - No she just said that you plopped down in the carriage with
Meryl Streep so confident, I'm like, tell me your ways!
(laughing) - No I think, oh no, my mum's
gonna be embarrassed now. - Why?
- Because, I plopped down in a carriage
next to Meryl Streep. (laughing)
- No that's incredible! Like what confidence she's given you. - I remember one day, Greta
came up to me and she was like, are you just not interested by the fact that you're sat next to Meryl right now? And I was like-- (whispering) No I am,
I'm just trying to not be a complete, insane psycho. - You swung the opposite way?
- Yeah, I always feel like you just
gotta like slowly shimmy rather than like--
(gasping) - See, I need to learn those ways. I could take some tips. - Some people are really good
at being massive fan girl I think I'd cringe myself
out if I were to be like, I've seen everything you've ever been in. - I'm a massive, I just can't
help it, I just am like-- - But that's you, you're like, I would fall in love with you. - We're already in love,
we're getting married! (laughing)
- We're wearing white. Anyway, sorry, back to Greta Gerwig. Okay so Lady Bird was such
an important film for me, I even remember doing
a little podcast on it a couple of years ago and I said, I don't know why it's
different, but it is. And I can't tell you exactly
what the differences are and I'm not gonna say that
it's because she's a woman but there was something that was, (sighing) I'm not even
going to say sensitive because I don't think
that's the right word, but there was a different
way of viewing things and a different way of explaining things and a different way of
seeing someone's life. And I think that's the thing, that's the female
aspect, which is I think, we're so used to seeing the
world in such a, well, one way and I couldn't put my
finger on what it was that was different about Lady Bird. But there was just a different way of telling someone's story. And I actually, I found that
with Little Women as well. Like I don't know what's
different about it but it's so refreshing.
- Definitely, I always say like, Lady
Bird is so, like delicate, you can keep it in your hand, like you can kind of
keep it with you always and I think, I mean, I'm gonna gush at you about
Little Women for so long. But I think what's so incredible, It's much more massive than Lady Bird, it's a big story that everyone knows. It's a period film, it
has so much going on, there's dances and balls and
all of these things and yet, it still has that quality
and I think that's her gift, but also the people that
she brings on board, and the four of you just
are electric together, and so beautiful. But honestly like, I
grew up on Little Women, it's one of my favorite
stories in the world. I always hated Amy.
- Yeah! - Then, miss, I watched this film and I was so blown away by your work, truly.
- Thank you. - So blown away because you,
stood toe to toe with Jo, who is Saoirse, who I know is
hard to stand toe to toe with. - Oh my God!
- And you, you elevated that character
to someone that I rooted for and that I loved and
that I was on her side. And questioning why I was on
her side and you could see that they were really
mirrors of each other and sisters in that way. Where as I never understood
their, that they share so much and that's why they really
butt heads sometimes. - Yeah.
- And that's you're- you're really brilliant, brilliant. - Oh, that's an amazing
compliment, thank you so much. No I think something
that Saoirse touched on a couple of evenings ago she goes, the one thing that Greta does is, even if the film isn't about completely one specific character, every single character feels so beefed out and they have their own story and even if they're only in three scenes, you know them, you know them by the end. It's not that they're a
token role, in any means. And I think straight away
when I came to this job, Greta said straight up, Amy's gonna be more than
just what she is in the books in this because I feel like
she hasn't had her voice. And I have to say I totally agree, I think she's so easily and
quickly the bratty sister. - Totally.
- I think it's so easy to read Jo as being like this hero and everybody wants to be Jo. But I think there's also
something being said you know, for Amy for a girl that knows at that time the wisest thing to do it to richly marry. - Yeah.
- Which is so odd for us, for women now to go, yeah, you go, you marry that rich man. But actually at that time,
there wasn't very many options and what Jo was doing was
the most absurd thing-- - Radical, yeah. - Like, you're not gonna marry and you're gonna earn your own money, are you, so you're stupid? So I think it was like a really nice way of just spinning it back 'round and going, yeah, they're actually very similar. They're both very stubborn and they are both very headstrong. They both want different things. But doesn't mean that one of them is right and one of them is wrong. - Totally, I also feel
like as young women, I'm the younger sister, I think you're the older
sister in your life? - Well I was the youngest for a long time and then my mum decided
to have another one, so I understand, yeah.
(laughing) - Like I did feel like, why am I being held back
just because I'm younger? And I was like, oh my God, am I an Amy? (laughing)
- Yes. - You made me become this way. I was like, I always thought I was Beth but here I am thinking--
- You thought you were Beth! (laughing) That is the best one.
- It's true, it's true. - Yeah, no it was--
- No but it's like, why should we be kept from the experience just because of your age
or your gender, anything. - Yeah I also love that
one line in it which is, I've been second to Jo my entire life and for anyone, that's-- - Even just hearing you say
it now, I'm right back in it, I'm in, you've taken me back. - And it's for any kid that's
younger than their siblings that is so true, whether or not it's fact, you will always feel like
you have to in some way, prove yourself again and again and again, or run past their, their peak. And so, I loved playing
her, she was so much fun. I just had three months of
being the most delicious bratty, gorgeous little girl. - And those costumes.
(sighing) - I won with the costumes.
(laughing) - You really did.
- I really won, yeah. I've always known I would marry rich, why should I be ashamed of that? - It's nothing to be ashamed of. As long as you love him. - Well I believe we have
some power over who we love, it isn't something that
just happens to a person. - I think the poets might disagree. - Well I'm not a poet, I'm just a woman. I have many questions about Book Smart, A, what was it like to
work with Olivia Wilde, because I am totally in love
with her, Kaitlyn as well. I've been watching her for
the last couple of years - Extraordinary.
- and she's just incredible. And how was the shoot like
with that many young actors and what were the difficulties
and what were the best days, please, fill me in? - I think you and Olivia would be like, you'd be so drawn to each other because she's just as fearless
as you are in her work, on screen and off screen.
- I can tell. - I think it was such a beautiful kind of, I felt like once I worked with Greta I'm not sure if I feel the same way, Greta Gerwig I was sort of like, where do I go from here--
(laughing) - Because I've hit the
top and this is like, my second movie ever and
what am I going to do? And then Olivia came to me with Booksmart and I was like, this is it. This is--
- Done. - This is you find
someone that's you know, amazing in her own beautiful way. And Olivia is a remarkable director, she's so fresh and
energetic and just I felt, I just believed in her
so much that I was-- I was really intimidated by my character. I think she's, she's really tough. I wonder if you felt
the same with Amy like, she can be a bit intolerable sometimes, and she's sometimes
like the one being like, we can't stay at this fun party where the audience is enjoying themselves, like, we have to move on
to the next thing and so, I was really intimidated by that, 'cause I'm used to playing
kind of, the sweet one, and so to play the very, very, motivated, strong, fierce one was very new to me. And it was Olivia's kind
of confidence in all of us that I think made us all
rise to the occasion. And working with Kaitlyn was I mean, truly a special partnership
for me in my life. Like we lived together while
we were filming the movie and so we were just like on
top of each other all the time, inseparable, we'd like
brush our teeth together, and run lines and eat pancakes, and it was a lot of us up there-- - Magical. - It kind of had to be
that way for it to work. - Well you can see it, it's not a false in any way friendship, it looks totally real.
- Yeah, it was really, I mean as you said, I've admired her work for so long too, and I was so intimidated, I
felt the same way with Saoirse, I'm just like, these are
extraordinary young women! - It's terrifying!
- How do I, what am I doing here? - And the worst thing is that you know every single
aspect of their face 'cause you've watched them all the time. And you know that it's
gonna be the most amazing but the most terrifying
thing to act with them because my big fear was that
I was just going to be like-- - Yeah, I forgot my
lines, I'm just like, oh-- - Oh, acting, sorry.
(coughing) It's comforting that we're using that because I see you as so fearless-- - No, no, no, no, but I, what you were saying with Meryl earlier, I remember just watching
her for an entire scene and then realizing that
I hadn't been acting and I had just been saying
my line every now and then. And Greta came in, she was like, hey, so, let's go again.
- With these hands. - So we're gonna--
- (laughing) Yes. Very true.
- Right? - Very true, but so when
did you shoot Booksmart? - We shot it like, early
summer of last year in L.A. And it was almost entirely night shoots, which was--
- What? - Yeah, I mean it takes place
all overnight basically. So we did three and a
half weeks of nights. Which was crazy and fun. And you asked earlier
about like, the young cast. - Yeah, what was that like? - It was just so special because it's a group of young people some of which I already knew, and one of which is my best friend. The girl who plays my
enemy in the movie Triple A is my best friend in the world-- - No way.
- So that was so fun but Molly Gordon, who's a dream, but it was just this crew
of young, talented, fresh, so different, so spectacular,
beautifully assembled, by Allison Jones, the
incredible casting director. And it just so special just
to watch everyone shine and I think Olivia and Greta share that. Every character in all of
their movies just has a moment - Has something.
that makes them clear, and complex and lovely and
that's someone you wanna watch for a whole movie of their own. - Yeah, I also feel like
with films that size, everybody is so invested in the script that it becomes like this,
everybody's making it. - It's like a labor of love.
- Everybody's making it, and everybody's lifting things and everybody is eating everyone's food. And it's just, you're
there for one sole purpose which is you all believe in the script and you all believe in the team and you'll do anything for it. - Passion, yeah of course. Just like pouring all your love into it at four in the morning.
(laughing) I remember starting this scene where we were running away from the yacht and we call "Malala" for the first time, which is like a big moment.
- Yeah. - And we started it at four
in the morning and I was like, Kaitlyn, this is gonna be in a movie? It hit me, I was like
all the stuff we're doing at four in the morning is
like actually in the film. - It's actually gonna happen, people are gonna see your
faces at those times. - At this time and my brain
is fully working, for sure! - But your comedy in it
was so quick and so pace-y that the thought of you working
through the night is like mind boggling to me because I
switch off past like, three. - Oh I go to bed at like
ten, Olivia is like, she is the Energizer Bunny, she is so full of life at any hour. - I mean that kind of terrifies me. - I'm trying to think about
our schedule and I'm like, I don't know when you sleep. - Children, directing and night shoots-- - What are you, where
are you going with that? But she was incredible and Katie Silberman who wrote the script, the
two of them had a partnership very similar to the one that Kaitlyn and I were
portraying on the screen. - No way!
- So it was like, literally behind the
monitor were these two, incredibly different but
lovable, brilliantly smart women that were leading the charge so that was really one of a kind. - That's cool to see as
well, the support system and the head of the
ship, that's very cool. (upbeat pop music) - That kind of car belongs in a museum. - What the fuck Jared,
I said door to door. - Museum of death 'cause
it's smog is killing us all. - (shouting) Fuck!
- You all right? - They spent every minute together, it's so weird. - We spend every minute together. - We are equals. - When you first read Booksmart were there any other
teenage comedies or films that you took inspiration from, what did you grow up watching? How has any of that
impacted you as a performer? - It's so interesting 'cause Kaitlyn and I talk so much about it and
most of the memories we had of female friendships from
our childhood were on TV they weren't on screen,
so like Lizzie McGuire, like, That's so Raven. - Me too!
- They were so, you know, prevalent in our lives and that's what we thought about. But there weren't--
- That many. - All the films were mostly male lead so-- - Yeah.
- Mean Girls, I grew up quoting
incessantly and is amazing. And we've watched so many since then. Olivia showed the whole cast and crew Fast Times at Ridgemont
High before we started, which was like the night
before we started shooting, like, we went in with that
energy which was amazing. But for both of us I think,
comedic-ly, Bridesmaids is always like my, heartbeat. - Good it's your Bible?
- It's my Bible, I could watch it, I think I've
already seen it 900 times? But to see that many women
given their own film, and all allowed to be so
different in their comedy and that's what I love about Booksmart is that Olivia really manages to capture all these different comedic styles, and not force one to meet the other but really like let each
one have their own life and I love that and I think Bridesmaids is a very similar thing
where each of the women has their own take on the world, take on humor and how to bring it to life. But it all works in
the same kind of space. I wanna know, I wish I
could have seen your face the first time you read, do
you say Midsommar or Midsummer? - Sometimes I've done
press and I've been like, so Midsommar and then two
minutes later be like Midsummer. - So it's an either or?
- And I basically caused them the most amount of stress because I mispronounced
the name a hundred times. - But I wish I could have
just been a fly on the wall watching you read that
script for the first time. - I was shooting Little Drummer Girl, we were in Greece at the time
and I got sent the script and my agents were like, this
is nuts you need to read it. I was like, okay, I've got it. And I'd just come home from
a night shoot, same thing, I got back at like 6 AM in the morning and I was FaceTiming Ari
in a couple of hours time and I said let's just crack it out and I don't wanna, read it
and then I wanna read it and then talk to him. So I remember reading half of it before I went to the night shoot and then half of it when I got back and I remember that entire
night shoot, I was like, but what happens?
(giggling) And then when I got back,
every single page I turned, I was like, ooh no! - Okay, that's how I
envisioned you doing it, so I'm thrilled to hear it's the same. - Totally and to the point
where I felt like the last page of that was just like
200 words that were just they all were contradicting one another and then vibing with one another and I had to re-read the
last page three times to make sure that I wasn't just tired and I wasn't reading it right. But honestly the last chunk was, Dani is happy, free, unhappy,
depressed, screaming, crying, vomiting, bliss,
orgasmic, and it was like this, - I felt all of that from you. - But it was just like I remember I had to read that last
page about three times, going, am I getting this right? But yeah my mouth--
- Were you sending him like how do I, what am I gonna do?
- Yeah, how are we gonna do this Ari? - Did you do the two films back to back? - Yeah.
- How close together? - So, I went to Budapest
and I shot Midsommar for three months and then I flew to Boston and I shot the next day. Did my makeup test for the next day. - What was that like? - Well I basically had to call
both directors and plead them to help save my life,
that's how dramatic I was. I was like, you have to help me. - Like scheduling?
- Yeah. Which is always, as you know, a nightmare.
- Thank God they did! - But I remember melting
down on the phone to Greta, Greta was like, sweetie, what's happened? And I was like, the filming won't work! And she was like, oh, okay, is everything okay other than that? And I was like, yes, and
she was like, oh okay, well we can try and make
that work, I was like, phew. - So sweet.
- But yeah, I finished Midsommar and then I flew and then they'd already started, they already got going. - You were just hopping on the train. - Yeah but I have to say that I, that Amy was all the therapy I needed. It was perfect.
- Cleansing. - It was like I got to be
this child for three months and I didn't have to think about flowers or having a mental breakdown
or you know, a field. I moved straight on--
- You were cold, you went from like very hot to very cold. - It was perfect, but yes, similarly to you reading the
script was just so exciting and there's nothing more
thrilling than reading a script and knowing that you can,
that you wanna give it a go. - Yeah. I mean I can't imagine that film with anyone else at the center. You really like, you just have this beautiful
clarity in your work that is so grounding. And I think that film is
such a testament to that, so thank God you made
it work, I'm thrilled, for my personal viewing pleasure. - Thank you. Well we can thank Ari and Greta, and my meltdown on the phone. (laughing) - Amy you've got it. - No I haven't. - That's a lie.
- No it isn't I haven't got it, I don't know where it is and I don't care.
- I'm gonna make you-- - (shouting) Jo! - (yelling) I burned it up!
- Marmee! - I burnt your book, I
told you I'd make you pay. And I did!
(slapping) So I went to go and watch
Booksmart with my younger sister who's seven years younger
than me and my mom, so big age difference, I don't
even know how old my mom is, she won't let me know. And we all totally loved it and
straight away all age groups were talking about it,
even my gran who is 84 was like, so, so and
so's gone to the cinema and they say that I need
to go and watch Booksmart and my mom was like,
well there's a lot of, there's, I mean-- And my gran's quite cool
but even my mum was like, take it with a pinch of salt, gran. - My sister in law let my nephews watch it but only once it was
on TV so she could like fast forward--
- Yeah and instantly the one thing that we all noticed was every single age group, we were just seeing it everywhere and we were seeing meme's
of you and GIF's of you, and like you and Kaitlyn dancing. And then my sister would
start learning the dancing and it was like a wave, it didn't stop. - Well I wanted to wear
that flower crown in today-- - Girl, do it.
- But I couldn't find one. (laughing) - You couldn't find your
one, that you had made. - I couldn't find one that elaborate. (laughing) Really pack the punch of the bit. But what is, I mean like, before
I got even to see the movie just the crying and so
many pictures of like, it's so crazy to be kind of-- - It's cultish and I think for both films it's actually quite-- I think comedy is very
similar in horror films in the sense that--
- They find their-- - Yeah, and people are
excited by sharing comedy and sense of humor just like
they're excited by sharing what they found scary or
horrific about scary films. So I do find it interesting that they have very similar ways of moving and very similar ways
of finding their ways into your text messages or group WhatsApp and you just have these shared meme's and actually that's happened a lot with both Booksmart and Midsommar, I see these meme's everywhere. - Everywhere.
- It's caught on in the same way no
matter different genres, which is bizarre. - Well because I am such
a fan girl, clearly, I do, like, I get it. Like if that wasn't me
like maybe I would use it. I would start using you now. - No, I use you, don't worry. No I just, I think the reason
why Booksmart has done that is because, and this is
going back to the ages, no matter who you are,
every single woman and man, but women mostly, understand
exactly what that is like. And it is executed to perfection the way that girls go
about their evenings, the way that they get ready, the way that they pump each other up, the way that they pull each other down, like, it doesn't matter how old you are, we all understand it. - Yeah, I just like the
way that Greta and Olivia capture like the space between women,
- Yes. - I think it's really their gift. It's not just the individual
character that they write but it's the energy and
the love between them and I think that's just
so beautifully personified in Little Women, I think
you, I have a sister in law but I don't have a sister, but it just makes me
just have this fantasy, what if was like one of four,
what a dream that would be. It was like, there's too many boys around. What was that like, bringing that sisterhood
to life in that way? - It was relatively easy to be honest, but pretty much similar is what you were saying about Kaitlyn, it needed to be there. You can't just have four people, I think the whole thing about siblings whether it's you know you
have brothers or sisters, you're on each other all the time and you're hitting each
other all the time. And your kissing each other
and your loving each other and then you hate each other
and then you get in an argument over the washing up and someone
hasn't taken the bins out, but then you'll stay up
and do homework with them. It's like this constant
touching and fussing and I think that was something
that Greta from the get go was like, I want this to
be a mess all the time. I want the house to be a mess, I want you to always be doing stuff, I want you to be always
touching each other, and I think straight away, we all kind of knew what that meant we just had to be friends straight away and that wasn't a horrible thing. We got to best friends
with the coolest girls. So we, similarly were
living on it was a muse, Saoirse, Eliza and I were
all living in a muse, and Emma was just down the road. And we'd do dinners and
sleepovers and all that. And then what you saw on
camera was all pretty real. And Saoirse, yeah--
- You really could feel it. - And Saoirse have like this very, fight-y relationship anyway,
like in a loving way, we just always wanna
wrestle with one another. And so every single time
you see Amy and Jo fighting that's probably because
either she came into work or I came into work and we were
like, shall we fight today? And then we'd be like, yes, that's great. So we'd just be like clocking
each other on the head. But it was totally natural
and normal to be close. - And she's so mushy, like that it's so, I remember being so nervous
that I was meeting her because I was so in awe of her work and she like Koala bear
hugged me and she like got on, you know, like up on me and I was like, this is going to be amazing! - Amazing, and she--
- She puts people at ease I think.
- Oh totally. And she's so, everything is so effortless about the way that she acts
and the way that she works that it's not even in any way daunting. It's like, oh, this is how I'll be then. I'm supposed to be like this. - She brings everyone up to
her level I think for sure. And Kaitlyn's the same way, like, it's so funny 'cause when
I, my vision of Booksmart is just Amy, like I have
my kind of lens of it. It's just Kaitlyn and it was
like, I would say to her, it was the biggest joy to just watch her. - Really?
- Because, she's just like the
same with both of them, they're so--
- Easy. - Talented and easy that it's just, it's like a joy to play
off of that energy. We have to go to a party tonight. - What? - Let's go to Nick's party. - Are you kidding, no, no way! - Amy, we only have one night left to have studied and
partied in high school. Otherwise, we're just gonna
be the girls that missed out. We haven't done anything. We haven't broken any rules! - So, Beanie. Tell me about your upcoming
role, Monica Lewinsky. - Well we haven't started filming yet, so I don't have that much to say, except for that I, she's,
it's very daunting. And very exciting and Sarah
Paulson is playing Linda Tripp and yeah, so that--
- Oh my God! - So I love her more than--
- Life? - Any thing, to exist? And I've always been
like her number one fan? I think I've like modeled
my life after her life, in any way that I can. And we were always emailing
and like we had never met but we were, just in life,
had been set up on email and we're chatting and then
when I found out that we were, our characters are like you
know, if you know the story they are best friends and then one, deeply betrays the other
one, she betrays me. And I just couldn't be more
excited to play that out with the person I think to be like, you know, one of the best actors of all time. - One of the legends!
- I know! And she's just so funny
and warm and giving and so just to take this
journey with her is gonna be-- - And you don't, you haven't started yet? - We start early next year. - Ooh! Also, I have more of a personal question, How to Build a Girl, how did that go? - When I was listening to your accent I was like, she's
definitely from the South, now I feel I'm like an
expert on British accents 'cause I had to learn Wolverhampton. - I bet you did. - Midlands accent.
- I bet you did. - I was like, Caitlin, you couldn't have been from anywhere else? - Okay so I love her books,
I love her growing up. She was my hero, I love
her big black messy hair-- - Her eyeliner.
- I love her stripe. I also love how she
once did this interview where she had just done this
big shoot for like a magazine and the interview was in there. And she basically then
turned around and said, you do realize that
all the clothes good in in those photos, had like,
17 clamps behind them, and I was like, oh my God you're a legend! - Thank you, she's a legend! - You're a legend.
- Caitlin Moran. - What was that like, 'cause
I love her, I love that book. I read it when I was needing it and I was so happy that you'd been cast because I was like, if there's anyone that can do this, big bundle of like beautiful
mess, it's gonna be you. - It was a similar feeling
to when you got Little Women it's such a beloved, I mean more so because
it's been around for ages, but it's such a beloved character and for me, she's such a
beloved British sort of icon. - She's real and that's what
every body is gasping for. - She's the most honest
person I've ever met, and it's contagious and I think it shines
through in her writing. She adapted the screenplay herself. - Oh I'm so excited! - It is so funny and
beautiful and warm and weird, and it was really, I wonder
if you had this in Midsommar because like I felt
like for the first time I was by myself?
- Yeah. - Like I didn't have Saoirse,
I didn't have Kaitlyn. - No you have lead the ship, yeah. - And I really learned so
much from both of them. How to do that, because I
remember just being like, Saoirse acted this way and she
was such a beautiful example to me, like if I could
be that for someone else, that would be the greatest--
- Amazing. - You know, gift of my life to do that because she did that for me. But it was a lot of like alone-- - Pressure.
- 'Cause she's, building herself, you know.
- It's all you, it's all you. - And she doesn't have any friends, it's really the story of
a girl without friends, without a sister, her mom is very absent. And it was really the
greatest journey of my life. - I'm so excited. - But it was the same thing,
I was in Wolverhampton three days after finishing Booksmart, so you're just like--
- Whoa! (laughing)
- This is not L.A. - I'm so excited for that. - The people in Wolverhampton
have my heart now, I love them.
- I bet they do! - I got to pull my own pint, which I think you'll be impressed by. - Dude.
- So. - Oh no.
- Florence. I have a question.
- Go ahead. - What's like being in
a Black Widow movie? - Oh my Lord, it was
one of the most bizarre, nuts, extravaganza experiences. I just finished on it
about three weeks ago. And landing the role in March, April, and then we started prep in May-- - It was right to it.
- It was right to it and then we shot throughout
the whole of summer. We shot in London, Budapest, Morocco. And then they went to Atlanta for a bit. But it was, I mean, the fact that I got to
do a film with Scarlett was really magical. The fact that I got to do
one of those films with a lead actress and the most
beautiful and warm director, Cate Shortland, was a very, very unique and special experience and I don't know what
the other films are like and what it's like working on them, but it was one of those-- I remember being on set
many times and thinking, this isn't, I know this isn't like this and I know that this is unique and I have to take this all in. And I think we've made something very raw, and very painful and very beautiful. And I think people are
gonna be really surprised by the outcome of the big action film. And it having that much heart. And Scarlett was just, and I know lots of people
will obviously be emotional about her because you know, her character had such a horrid ending. But it was special learning from her. And she's been doing this for
like ten years in those films. And for this to be you know, her film, was special and I got to be there and see how she does stunts and see how she you
know, lives it, it's her, it's so her and so it was special. - I feel lucky to be living in a time when I get a Florence
Pugh movie every year. I'm in heaven right now.
- I'm in heaven! - I'm in heaven! - I think we're both in heaven. (laughing) (uplifting instrumental music)
