- Hi, I'm Priyanka.
- And I'm Sam Heughan.
- From the movie, Love Again.
- And we're here with BuzzFeed.
- Oh, we're gonna interview each other.
- Uh oh. (Priyanka laughs)
(upbeat music)
- What was your first impression of me when we met?
When did we meet, first meet?
- We met on Zoom.
- Oh, yes, yes, this was COVID days.
- It was during the COVID days.
This is a COVID baby movie. (Priyanka laughs)
My first impression was you had very good lighting.
You are an extremely beautiful, very talented woman
in real life. - But I was
very well lit.
- But you were very well lit. (Priyanka laughs)
- And I had a HD camera, (Sam laughs)
while you guys were all on, - And you have a HD camera.
Yes, I know. - Yeah, like, you could see,
like half my face. - Yeah.
Sam's camera was all off.
But I was in the middle of a press tour at that time,
so I was all lit and, like, soft focus for the press tour,
and my Zooms ended up looking
really amazing as well. - Good lighting.
(Priyanka laughs) Very good lighting.
- That's so funny. - If you couldn't be
an actor anymore, what career would you pursue
if you were guaranteed success?
- I would be useless at anything else,
I think - That's not true.
- I'm a very good rule follower.
I guess that's why I'm a good, like, I can act.
I don't know, what could
I do? - Rule follower?
- Yeah, I follow rules. - I feel like you are, like,
at the cutting edge of everything.
(Priyanka laughs) You're a great businesswoman.
- Because I ventured into business, I would probably
get into some sort of business.
- Right. - I think.
- Okay, I would be all about breaking the rules.
You should break the rules more, I think.
- Ooh, authority scares me.
Okay. - What are some surprising
or interesting differences between Bollywood and Hollywood?
- Like today,
everyone is on time.
Sam was here one minute before call time.
- Right, I have to-- - And I am Indian, so I'm
inevitably at least - Ah.
- five minutes late. - Indian time.
- Indian stretchable time. - Stretchable time, I see,
right. - It's called IST,
- Uh-huh. - and it's real,
- Yeah. - so next time, be like,
considerate to me, and just come five minutes late,
because you know I'm gonna be five minutes late.
Why you gotta make me look bad, huh?
- Do you know, I think I live by Scottish stretchable time.
- (laughs) Oh, you do have
stretchable? - Yeah, pretty
similar. - Great, yeah, it just
happens that I'm in the same hotel, so
- Yeah, just walk down. - It's easy (indistinct).
- What are your biggest icks
when it comes to love and dating?
- Oh, biggest icks, ugh. - Uh-huh, like.
I kind of like first, I love first dates,
kind of exciting, but also nerve-wracking, right?
- Yeah, for sure. - and it's
difficult, isn't it?
And I suppose, you know, going for a meal
is always a tough one; it's like,
what kind of food do you choose?
'Cause, you know, if you choose something messy to eat,
it can be really difficult.
Like, it has to be something quite simple.
- I don't overthink it.
I just look at the menu, and if I like something,
I order it. - Yeah.
- I'm like, I love food, so I can find something
I will eat anywhere.
I hate when, you know, somebody cracks a joke,
and it doesn't land.
- Awkward. - And then it's, or that
awkward silence, like, - Yeah.
- ooh, that's really tricky. - Uh, so.
- And you're just, like, how do you move on from that,
the thing that just happened
that we're both gonna ignore?
(Priyanka laughs)
- Not awkward at all.
- All right, next one.
What's a hot take you have?
- A hot take?
- A hot take.
- A hot take?
- On something.
Takes them. - Oh, I see.
I don't understand, and this is
a sort of American, - I know, it's very American.
American, hot take. - We're international actors.
We're trying to comprehend. - I don't quite understand
what the question is actually.
Do I have a controversial opinion?
- Like, do fries belong
in a burger. - Oh, I see.
Right, got you.
- You know, like how Mira, - Yeah, yeah.
- Our characters always have fries.
- Well, - and they put it in a burger.
Like should there? - I'm a huge ketchup fan,
which I think really goes down well,
but I'll have ketchup on eggs.
I'll have ketchup on everything.
- I like ketchup, too. - Yeah.
- It's definitely something. - I do hot sauce instead.
- Oh, right, yeah, that's not - On everything.
- really a European thing. - Yeah, it's definitely not.
- No. - But Indian, though.
- But I'm currently working in Europe,
and they have a mayonnaise on their fries,
which, I'm sorry. - I know.
- Just can't get down with it.
- I just, that's a hard one
for me. - It's wrong.
- Yeah, they don't even give you ketchup.
- No, no ketchup.
(Priyanka laughs) I'm gonna fill my bag
when I get back to Europe. - This is very controversial.
- Yes, it is controversial. (Priyanka laughs)
I'm actually interested about this one myself.
You adopted a puppy?
- Yes! - From BuzzFeed.
- From BuzzFeed. - Thank you guys
for this adorable puppy.
I haven't seen it, but. - She's here actually.
I should have brought
her today. - Well, that's the question.
Diana Chopra Jonas?
- Yeah.
- Is the name of the dog?
- Yeah, she's adopted both of us.
- What kind of dog?
- She's a rescue.
She was a rescue from North Shore Rescue.
We were doing an interview with BuzzFeed
this is six years ago.
She was one of multiple puppies that they unleashed on me
and I was supposed to answer questions,
but she like was chewing on my Burberry shoes
and then then just lay here and fell asleep.
And I was like,
"Oh, I have to take her home."
And then the next day I took her home and she's here
in New York today - Yeah.
She's on this press tour with me.
She's at home protecting the baby
and hanging out with my mom.
(record scratch) - I
want to know where the puppies are BuzzFeed.
Come on, show me
the puppies. - Where are Sam's puppies?
- I want puppies too. (Priyanka laughs)
- What's been your favorite Jamie and Claire scene
from Outlander so far?
- Oh. - This season
or like in life?
- Oh wow. - Ever.
- Different, different. - Ever.
- I mean, I guess it's, there's, there's love.
- Yeah. - A lot of love
in Outlander. - Yeah.
- And - People love
how you love Sam.
- They love!
You know, it always goes back to season one,
you know the wedding I think is,
you know it new love, right?
People falling in love. - Yeah.
- And I think that's why this movie
is so adorable because it's about
two people finding love again.
Talking of love.
What is your love language?
And just to recap, acts of service, quality time,
touch, gift giving, yes please, and words of affirmation.
- Love language as in like how do I receive love
or how do I give love? - And
how do you give and receive love, yeah.
- I think how I do, how I give love is acts of service.
I do things for the person I love.
- Oh.
- And how I receive love, gifts.
No, I'm just joking.
Quality time. - Quality time.
- It's very important for me to have time.
If even if, you know, we are very busy across the world.
Even taking time out to FaceTime for half an hour
and checking in with each other or making sure we
update each other through the day and those kind of things.
Time.
If you take time out to be considerate
about the other person.
I think that's really how I receive it.
- I'm so shallow.
- You haven't called, called me enough.
- I haven't called you in
in a while. - No you didn't.
And I'm so shallow.
Cause I think mine would be probably touch,
like I want a hug.
- Yeah. - I just want a hug.
- No, that's lovely. - Yeah.
There are times I don't want to be touched.
- Well that too, yeah. (Priyanka laughs)
- What is my name saved as in your phone?
- Uh oh.
- Oh no, really? - Yeah.
- What have you saved me as?
- It's Priyanka.
- Okay, good.
- It's not Pri, it's nothing else.
It's just Priyanka.
- You're Sam Heughan.
- Oh. - Your full name.
- Yeah.
- How many Sams have you got on your phone?
- Sam McKnight, Sam Heughan, - Two.
And Samantha, who I saved as Sam
- I only have one Priyanka.
There is only one Pri.
- I love that the West thinks that.
Let's not tell them India. - What?
- Because it's a very common name in my country.
- It is?
Would you rather live your entire life?
This is from the movie with silent
but uncontrollable gas
(Priyanka laughs)
or loud, uncontrollable sneezes.
- Silent gas.
- You want silent gas. - I'll take silent gas.
On that note, we're gonna clear the room
because I think it's just happened.
(Priyanka laughs)
Thank you BuzzFeed.
- Thank you for having us. - Thanks for having us.
Thanks for letting us interview each other
and remember to go see Love Again, which is out now.
