How are you? Good.
You enjoying the football score last night? Fulham?
No. What happened?
I didn't check in. I had a bit going on last night.
They beat Chelsea. Did that? No, they did.
Yeah, they did.
Fulham beat Chelsea as Chelsea are rubbish at the moment.
Oh, doing it as a Spurs fan.
I was kind of on your team last night,
so I was going to say that you need to call my husband.
He's going to be going to south east.
He's a Fulham fan, right? Oh, yes.
This is his team.
Yeah. Against like, Chelsea. Chelsea, which.
Yeah. Yeah. Is
which Fulham.
Oh, Fulham Football Club. Yeah. Yeah.
Which is not a team you'd expect to beat Chelsea necessarily.
I think they've been on the rise last the last couple of years. Top six.
Are they just behind spurs
guys.
Just behind Martinez, I might say.
Real congratulations on the film. Thank you.
The screening I was at the other night, the scene where you come in for the first
talkie, same camera sound, everything absolutely brought that house down.
What was that like from
because I know this scene behind you is the one a lot people talk about.
But I have to say, that scene, that sequence,
it was like something out of a naked Gun film or something.
It's brilliant. Yeah.
What was it like for you guys? It's such a big reaction at the L.A.
premiere to everyone.
Literally, like huge round of applause at the end of that scene.
And it's right in the middle of the movie and it's like the most
who I remember reading in the script and just cackling out loud
and it was so fun to shoot it.
None of us had a voice by the end of the day,
like we screamed so, so much that we all lost our voices.
And PJ Byrne hadn't done his coverage yet.
He plays the David and he would improvise and do.
I mean, he was absolutely brilliant,
as was everyone but the sound engineer in that scene.
His name's Carson Higgins in real life because that was his first day on set
ever, first day on a movie set, and he crushes it as the sound engineer.
And back at the time when sound came in, there was this sound engineer
that had like suddenly, like all this power in Hollywood.
And he would tell stars what to do.
And he's practically directing these movies and everyone hated them.
So, yeah, it was very fun.
I think it was The Wolf of Wall Street reunion, isn't it?
It was, yeah. Yeah. And I
we were like, wow, we did this.
We were looking at pictures of Wolf and my like 'wedding day' on Wolf,
and there's like a picture of us,
like sitting on the ground in my wedding dress like you.
I've just been speaking to your lovely costars about Damian Chazelle about
how he's where he started with Whiplash, the short movie.
Now he's come to this big movie, big thing,
and he's done so much in a short, short space of time.
Can you see now that you worked for him,
just why people think he is so talented and why he's like the next kind of.
It's one of these big kind of ask me to be absolutely huge deal.
He's he's unbelievable.
He he's he's young and so accomplished and
he he's
just a perfect director like he he he would let us
completely loose like, you know like improvise go crazy, whatever.
And then other things he'd be incredibly specific and meticulous on.
Like his preparation is ridiculous and he's so prepared.
He made me do 31 different accents before deciding which one.
Like, I mean, he is thorough.
How many looks so many looks mean like he is.
He's so thorough, he cares so much and like good enough
is never enough for Damian. It's like he will.
And you couldn't wish for something
better in a director than someone who's always going to push for it to be better,
better, better.
And when he gets the perfect take, he's so like, let's go again.
Let's see what else we can find. Like it's it's a gift.
What was it like for you stepping in?
Because you your character is the outsider stepping into this world.
You're coming in starring alongside Margot and Brad Pitt and Jean Smart,
who's incredible, and all these other amazing people in Tobey Maguire.
Tell me about your experience stepping into I mean, just talking about Damian.
He was like everything for me during all the preparation
and all the way, you know, like every time I was like, scared.
Because you're nervous.
You're scared.
Like,
you have to act with these great people that you have been admire your whole life.
But I always had Damian by my side, you know, saying like, he's such a movie fan.
At the same time, he like flexible at the same time.
He was like, just got phone. They got like, Don't be afraid.
I'm really distracted by your jumper because it's amazing.
Great. Isn't that?
I think it's because I checked the tag early
when we sat down ..
I'm sure people have been talking to you about Barbie
all day, every day for months and months and months.
But what do you make of the Barbie versus Oppenheimer kind of fight
that's happening?
It the most brilliant double billing you could ever go to the moon, isn't it?
Isn't it madness?
Do you think that Barbie... steak dinner followed by like a sundae
you know, chocolate sundae with, like sprinkles and cherry on top?
I mean, I think people should go to the cinema and see
both at a time when people are talking about a struggle.
You know, cinema in some respects is struggling a little bit.
It seems to be that so many people are like focusing
on that day as if like that's the rebirth of cinema maybe.
First of all.
No, I know it's meant I'm such a fan of Cillian Murphy, too, so I'm.
I'm excited.
Did you enjoy the trailer? Because that seemed to.
Yeah. Yeah.
Have you seen the trailer?
Is that one of the best trailers represented my entire life?
And then Helen Mirren does the voiceover, which is just.
And that's just the teaser.
That's not even that's not even our first trailer.
That's just that teaser trailer.
Oh, we've got so much more in store for you.
I can't wait to watch.
Over the last couple of months, I've been speaking
to some people that are in it seems like everybody.
But I spoke to Emma Mackey. Yeah.
Will Ferrell Yeah, I know of people
that's like who isn't in this film and I feel like there's still
it's like Babylon, like the bench is deep, like their house.
They have.
But it was like going to work every day and there's always someone like on this.
We would go to work and be like, Oh, today we're working with Flea, or Tobey Maguire
or Jean Smart or, you know, I mean, it was just endless excitement.
Fantastic. I can't wait. This is fantastic as well, guys.
I hope it goes down well for you. Thank you so much for your time.
Thank you so much.
