- Did you just look at my boobs?
I genuinely forgot that I have made out
with this many people.
She may have been my best onscreen kiss.
(smooch sound)
Hi, I'm Alexandra Daddario.
We're gonna go through some moments in my career
and I'm gonna give you guys the inside scoop
on what really happened.
I'm very nervous.
- Welcome.
- I love her.
(rock music)
- I'm your castoffs anyway.
We don't need you.
- You know nothing of my resourcefulness.
- Oh my God!
(clip dialogue continues indistinctly)
How lucky am I?
- I should have killed you after my first tango.
- Really?
(gunshot)
(laughing)
- I mean, how lucky am I that I got to work with Lady Gaga?
What an amazing woman.
She may have been my best onscreen kiss.
But I don't think about it like that,
'cause you're acting, so...
But yes.
I don't practice with anyone before the scene with kissing.
There's rules too, like actor rules.
You don't eat garlic before the scene.
As you get older too, people have partners
and you don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
It's uncomfortable sometimes.
If you're more experienced,
your job is to make the other person feel more comfortable.
Most of the time, the two of you, you just go.
Have some peppermint oil or a Listerine strip.
And let's do it.
- My mother is goddess of wisdom and battle strategy.
- I remember that outfit.
- Do you know what that means?
(both grunting)
- Okay Kyra, should we get in there and stop?
She's killing him, man.
- It's like... it's like they filmed summer camp.
(grunting)
- I remember shooting those scenes like it was yesterday.
All the sword fighting.
And I remember doing all of my choreography
and rehearsals and practice
and getting into shape and learning how to use a sword.
It empowered me and made me feel stronger.
And it changed my life.
We trained for a long time with a stunt team.
We had bamboo swords that we'd use, originally.
So they were light.
Learn how to flip it and how to hit and block.
I really got some incredible training
that I ended up being able to
use in other films later on.
Percy Jackson, I will always hold
very, very near and dear to my heart.
The way that people loved those books
and the passion that they have for them.
Looking back, I'm like,
"Wow, I can't believe I did such a big movie so young."
- Did you just, ah, look at my boobs?
- That was not my intention.
I didn't, ah, stare directly at them.
- Really?
How about right now?
- Now I did, 'cause you were talking about them.
- Testing... oh, failed.
Oh my God.
Well, we're going to be in swimsuits a lot.
You just looked at them again.
- No I didn't, I was...
- Yeah, you did.
- I didn't...
- That entire scene was born
out of my screen tests for Baywatch.
None of that with the boobs was in it.
We were told to improv
or just like to check our chemistry or something.
And then it just popped in my head
and I just looked Zach in the eye and I said,
"Did you just look at my boobs?"
And he was reacting off of it.
And then I was like, "Oh, you're looking at my boobs."
He obviously hadn't, but it was just part of the scene.
And they liked it so much in the screen test
that they ended up putting it into the movie.
(passengers screaming)
- I haven't done anything!
I haven't gone to bat, I've never had kids.
I've never gotten a tattoo.
I don't even know if I have a G-spot.
- Excuse me?
- I think that I'm someone that I don't have one of those.
I wish that I could pee standing up.
I wish that I knew what it was like to have a penis.
- I was so close with this entire cast
and I love these people.
We improved a lot of that.
I wish I knew what it was like to have a penis.
I- I think that that's something I improved
because I always say that.
I really, I do wish I knew what it was like.
I'll never have that knowledge.
- My dad's picking me up.
- So?
- So he's totally ballistic
I was at the (indistinct) costume party.
- Amanda...
- I mean, didn't you hear about this?
It was, like, everywhere.
You got totally wasted.
I really miss him.
- You okay?
(tense music)
- I'm fine.
- It's so funny that my childhood
is like a little time capsule.
How'd you guys find this scene?
I'm 16 there, I look like a baby.
It's funny to see baby Amanda Seyfried too.
We were so young.
I can see myself being awkward
'cause I was always so nervous.
I was still learning how to find my confidence.
I have a photo in my locker.
I don't remember picking out photos for set deck,
but obviously I did.
I have a thing of VCRs is that were all of the recordings,
every episode that I was in so I could watch it back.
'Cause I wanted to see the episodes
and they would air while I was in school.
I don't think we have those tapes anymore,
but I wouldn't want to watch them anyway, honestly.
I don't watch myself anymore.
Oh!
(kissing sounds)
He's such a nice guy.
- I have boyfriend.
- Okay.
- But honestly, I swear to God,
it did not feel like cheating
until, like, just a moment ago.
Like I think when you touched my boob,
that sort of when I- I sort of drew the line.
- [Boy] Sure, sure.
- Hmm, interesting.
- He doesn't go here, he goes to school in Virginia.
So we have sort of unconventional rules
to sort of deal with that.
- Ah... young people.
- And do you want just fool around with me now?
And then, like, marry him after college or something?
(laughing)
- No...
- I didn't think so, but I thought that would offer that.
- It's like these two people have chemistry,
but he's being such a cliche boy.
So funny.
I loved shooting that movie.
I went back to New York, it was summer.
We got to shoot
in such cool places in Brooklyn, on rooftops.
But I haven't seen that in so long.
Some of these, I genuinely forgot
that I have made out with this many people.
Not in my personal life, strangers.
Oh God.
Now this is a long time ago.
- Miss Hughes, I'm sorry to interrupt.
- Baby Alex.
- [Miss Hughes] It's nice to see you, Lilly.
- I just ran into Michael at this college admissions thing.
- [Man] Lilly's earned herself spot at Yale.
- Yeah, I can't wait.
- You want to join us for a quick bite?
- Ooh, I'd love to.
No thanks.
- Like, oh my gosh, I forgot that I met her.
I came in from one episode
and I remember they gave me a chair
next to the big actors, the lead actors.
And they were so kind to me.
At that point in my career,
when I would get a line out without hyperventilating,
I was like, "Oh, I did it."
And always, I need, like, a couple of takes
when I first get onto a set.
Back then I really needed a couple of takes.
I was so nervous, I wanted to do a good job.
I wish I could go back and, like, pat myself on the shoulder
and be like, "It's going to be okay.
"You don't need to be so freaked out."
- She engaged in reckless and inappropriate behavior.
- I think we know what that means.
- I caught her reading a blog
written by a boy she had sex with.
It was very graphic.
(laughs)
- The boy you met at the club?
- He texted me the address.
He said I was on it.
- It's out there for the whole world to see forever.
(tense music)
- Oh... (laughs)
The last frame that this is frozen on.
I was just so game to make it look
as ridiculous as possible.
It's not like I'm the greatest actress.
I was still learning and I was very young.
And I remember the thing that I was able to do,
for some reason, is be ridiculous and shoot this photo.
I always had so much fun when I did a Law and Order.
I think I did three of them.
They were like the New York thing that New York actors did.
And every time I booked a Law and Order,
it was like I was so excited.
Got to make a little bit of money,
which was back then for me, a lot of money.
And you got to go and work with these cool actors
and have fun and go to set.
And oh, I loved it.
- How can I help you?
- We're here to see Adam.
- Okay, and this is regarding?
- Being his wife.
I'm just here to say hi.
- Oh my god, I am so sorry.
- No, no, no.
You want take this, then?
- [Adam] Oh good, (indistinct).
She said that she's going to get the bar...
- Ah, hey, Rachel, I'll get that.
- Oh, it's no problem.
- I remember people really
disliking my character on the show.
People would come up to me after the show aired and be like,
"We don't like you."
You know, in a friendly way.
I was not a beloved character.
For good reason, that was the point.
(tense music)
God, (laughing) it's such a horror film.
Elizabeth Moss, it was pre Mad Men
and she's the lead.
And I got to be the girl in the beginning,
who sort of like...
I think I haunt everything afterwards?
I remember laying in the mud and writhing around.
It was December in, I think, New Jersey.
It was freezing cold in that little dress.
I was like, "Yeah, let's get down in the mud, let's do it."
I don't like watching horror movies at all,
but I like being in them.
You want to watch something from modern day,
you can catch me in the White Lotus on HBO.
I die in a gunfight.
Of course there are things that I wish
I had done differently,
but if I had done them differently,
maybe I wouldn't be where I am.
I'm very happy with where I am
and the people I have in my life and my partner.
And all I can think is that
everything led me to this moment.
And I'm really grateful for even the negative experiences
because I was able to learn from them
and sometimes grow stronger.
Thank you for joining me today.
