we can't be as loud because then we come across as sort of abrasive whereas a guy
can be extremely assertive and not be called
good evening angels so the first question that I wanted to ask you is I
feel like Charlie's Angels is like the perfect resume for you guys to be a
part of a superhero film so if you could play any superhero since you haven't
played one so who would you like to play Naomi scott or how about scar yes thats like
they are my super hero's oh my gosh i thought i thought i think we will leave it like that
as a fan of both Twilight and Aladdin if you had to put Princess Jasmine and Bella
Swan as a Charlie's Angel do you think they'd do a good job yes yes
yeah for sure yes for sure yeah definitely oh my gosh don't even though
you dare about I just saw a girl yeah I was yes no no jasmine for sure I just sort of was
starting to go on over twilight tangent you only start analyzing my character
and I was like no no she'd be good she'd be great one of my favorite moments in
the film was the dance sequence is there any interesting anecdote behind that
because you had said that it was your dance moves that got you into the film
in a way ironically that is how I met Liz Banks and that was not written into
the script and was a sort of alternate version of a big huge action set piece
that we had to cut for time and so she had to come up with this on the fly and
basically came into work and said so ladies today you're gonna learn a dance
the whole choreographed dance thing and we're gonna shoot it tonight really it excuse me and you lit for the challange
was so much fun it was we were in that we were in that thing in the whole it was
like this massive space and they had the it wasn't just like playback on a tiny
speaker it was nice elaborate full blown playback so yeah yeah
so you're shooting a music video is very cool also we have that now in our
wheelhouse we can pull that out at any time I could be like
yeah thats what she does at th club
yeah I just do that over and over and over yeah one dance how did it go over
the action sequences because there's a level of intricate detailing that went
into it so how it was that process like getting into the character being fierce
being sexy being unapologetically sexy and being like you know the Brawn the
brain the beauty everything combined so how did that go about I liked the fact
that our characters don't necessarily think about being sexy I mean I've went
watching these guys I'm like wow down but you know for example James just
thinking about being precise it's just being like a puppy and just being me I'm
just being screaming where's the time but you know it's so we don't
necessarily think about that which I think it's what then makes it sexy right
I don't know yeah and then also the whole male gaze thing versus kind of
seeing each other through our own lenses and not in a way that brings sexuality
into it in any way but women really admire each other in a way that like men
don't like we appreciate beauty in this really cool way and like repossessing
that idea of beauty and not having it necessarily tied to who you want to
sleep with or who you have a crush on is really cool like I look at these girls
and I'm just like I think they're stunning animals like I think the I mean
they're just that they're beasts and I'm just like they're majestic and I just
admire them so much and that's something that only girls know how to take care of
each other yeah and like a really beautiful way and my last question is
your character in particular even though it's an all and all action entertaining
film it also sheds light on sexism in workplace which is done through your
character so have y'all ever felt in your career even with yours you know
it's such a long spanning career has it ever been where being a part of
Hollywood as a woman has been difficult or there have been disadvantages in your
life yeah I think yeah i would say just the way that a set is run I find quite often even on
our set where we're was not only demanded respect but also naturally
commanded it I would notice when people weren't really listening to her
when a man starts speaking on set and he's the director everyone hushes up and
you listen and I could see a few times where she'd be like oh my god okay
like IRA listen and there's just a certain way of navigating communication
that a woman has to do a certain amount of placating and kind of massaging
personalities we can't be as loud because then we come across as sort of
abrasive whereas a guy can be extremely assertive and not be called a
that's something we all have to deal with every day not just in the film
industry but it's a nice little example sort of like microcosm of that we all
have to function a little differently in order to be heard I once got asked what
would you if there was any advice that you'd give to your young younger self
and one of the things was to just ask for more and weirdly enough I remember
watching Liz Banks on set when I was shooting a movie the first time I met
her on another movie appearances and I remember watching her and just learning
kind of how to assert yourself which I don't know I can't speak for everyone
maybe that's something that doesn't naturally come because you're not taught
that you can maybe do that and so it's something you you learn a little bit
later in life that that's okay to be upfront and kind of ask for what you
want and be assertive so that's something that I learn and I thought
because of yeah I just asked just ask you know yeah
