Ladies. How are we?
Good. How are you doing?
Very good.
Thank you.
Good. Congratulations on the film.
Thank you.
I feel like there's
only one place to start and that is with the real star of the show, Reaper.
The cat.
I'm not. I'm not sorry. God, I've got a cat.
And I'm not a huge fan of, like, hairless cats.
But I have to say, he's changing my thinking.
I know.
It's awesome.
To have you stay on hairless cats now.
His health is great.
I'm actually allergic to cats.
So when we started production, I was like, Hey, I didn't tell you guys this,
but I'm literally allergic to cats and I don't know if it's their hair
or if it's their, like, saliva that I'm allergic to,
but I think I'd probably still be allergic to a hairless cat.
And so they ended up letting me
have a private meeting with Reaper, who I think was actually named Draco.
And we kind of just like, you know,
sat with each other for a little bit to see if I was going to die.
Chemistry test.
We had a chemistry test and it went well.
I didn't die afterwards.
I did get a little sniffly.
So when we were actually on set, I just have a very limited amount of time
with Draco.
But he was so, so sweet and I was a little scared of him, but not because of him.
Just because cats kind of weird me out.
I'm much more of a dog person, so I really had to pull out my acting chops
there and act like I was super comfortable with this being that I'm not used to.
Yeah, you did very well. You did very well.
This is a huge movie and a huge undertaking.
How much of a calming influence is working with people like Charlize Theron
and Kerry Washington and a few other people because they've done these big movies before
for you guys as a young actors, how how calming and how reassuring
were they in terms of helping you do you'll do your job in the movie?
I don't know that they were like calming and reassuring in any way.
I think it was just like, well, they're a part of it, so it's going to be good.
Yeah.
Like there's no way this is not, you know what I mean?
Like, I was kind of like, well.
I think there's a calming element of knowing, like,
when you're scene partner knows what they're doing.
Yeah, that's what I mean. Like, they're in it. It's going to be good.
Yeah, exactly.
But even just like the moment on set of like, wow,
like this is going to be a really interesting scene.
Like, I'm going to be challenged and that's always so exciting.
And I even felt that way with Sophia and as well, like every day going to set.
I always felt like I was going to be challenged with like the different
choices that you were going to make.
It was never going to be boring.
So it was very calming in that sense for sure, because it was like,
Yeah, I knew it was going to be good. Exactly.
I just spoke to Paul Feig and he's always so, so well dressed.
So I have to ask, is there ever a day where he comes to set
and he was in sweatpants or absolute cavalcade of just the best wardrobe ever?
Say, in my entire life I've.
Never seen Paul not in a suit.
I'm sure he sleeps in like a suit.
Like I think she sleeps in like like the school master's outfit.
You know, like a beautiful unison robe situation.
Yeah.
Or pajamas that are a suit, so.
Yeah.
No pajamas.
Yeah. Oh, man.
I want to see him in sweatpants one day,
one premiere, or one or one event that I have to see my interview.
He's just in, like, a hoodie and sweat pants.
I think the day Paul Feig. Wears a bad day.
Yeah.
The day he wears sweat pants,
I think would be like a sign of the end of the world.
Like, I can't. I truly cannot envision it.
I feel like he definitely wore a suit during the pandemic every day as well,
because I had a meeting with him at the beginning of the pandemic and
he was in a suit.
What, that man.
Yeah.
There's no no sweatpants before when the lockdown is lifted.
Again, thanks so much for your time. How it goes. Well, thank you.
