-This was obviously an incredibly close cast.
You guys got along very well, yes?
-Yes. -Is that safe to say?
-Yeah. -Is it nice to kind of --
I mean, obviously, you have a premiere,
you do a little bit of press together.
Is it nice to see everybody again?
-It's so nice.
I mean, you know, we've all kept in touch
since we finished the film, and it kind of doesn't feel like
it's been a year since we finished.
But we've all gone off and done other things.
Emma's been sort of saving the world.
And Flo has been really busy working,
and Eliza's on Broadway.
-And you've been Christmas shopping.
-I've been -- [ Laughter ]
I've been on Amazon, just getting my little gifts.
You know, decorating the tree. So we're all serving society.
-Everybody's kind of evenly successful for the past -- yeah.
-Yeah, I feel -- I feel so.
And Meryl's, you know -- but yeah, we all get on really well,
and it's just been so nice to get back together.
-You had a couple of roommates in the cast, right?
Florence and Eliza.
You guys, you basically lived together
over the course of the shooting?
-Well, we lived in this little sort of complex
in a place called Bedford in Massachusetts.
And we were the old-- or we were the youngest people
probably by about like 30 years I would say.
Everyone was very -- was very old there.
[ Laughter ]
Which I prefer being around much, much older people,
or very, very young people, so it was nice.
We sort of bonded because of that.
We only really had each other.
-Were the old people happy to have you around?
Were they as happy to have you?
No. Yeah.
-But I mean, we're not like mads, you know?
We're not like some 20-year-olds
where we're out all night, playing music, you know.
[ Laughter ]
I'm not, as you can tell by my finger guns.
-The very way you did that, yeah.
[ Laughter ]
Even if you had said, "We're the kind of people that play music,"
I would have been like, "No, you're not."
[ Laughter ] -You're really not.
-You've given yourself away with your light finger gunning.
-I play a bit of Stevie Nicks. You know?
-See, that's right in the --
I mean, Stevie Nicks is the wheelhouse of the people
that were living in that complex.
They should have been thrilled to have you around.
-Yeah, I think they would have been.
Maybe if it was just me, but maybe Eliza and Florence sort --
-They spooked them.
-They sabotaged any chance
I had of becoming friends with these people.
-Yeah, exactly.
We talked -- when Timothee,
your co-star Timothee Chalamet was here,
he talked about dance lessons,
'cause there's dancing in the film.
-Yeah.
-And Greta, the fantastic director of the film,
gave you guys dance -- Was that fun for you?
Do you fashion yourself much of a dancer?
[ Laughter ]
-Uh, yes. [ Laughter ]
I don't know why you had to ask me that. It's pretty obvious.
I like to think that I'm a great dancer when I've had a few.
-Yeah.
-But, when -- you know, in the daytime, I come to
the very sober realization that I'm probably not a great dancer.
I kind of look like a muppet dancing I think.
I'm all -- my friends always say that I'm all arms.
[ Laughter ] I'm very sort of, like, bendy.
Tim is actually a really good dancer,
and I think he did ballet for a while as well, so he's --
-He had a leg up on you.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-But I was very good at sticking to the steps, and he would try
and change it and I was like,
"No, no. Let's follow the rules."
[ Laughter ]
And we'll have fun within that.
-Yeah. -Structure.
-Yeah, no free styling. -No.
-You have a -- There's a traumatic scene
where your character Jo cuts her hair.
-Yes.
-And then you have to wear a wig.
-I do. -And this is lovely.
One of your co-stars helped you --
-We named her.
-You named the wig? -We named the wig.
-Okay, and what was the wig's name?
-Pam. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
-Her name was Pam.
She was from Perth in Australia.
This is a terrible Australian accent.
-Oh, my goodness. -To any Australians, I'm sorry.
-So Pam had a backstory and, like, an accent?
-Yeah. So, like, I have this other beautiful wig,
and it's very long and sort of luscious.
And this wig is equally brilliant.
I mean, what we wanted to do -- because, you know, sometimes
when characters -- -This is Pam here?
-That's Pam. -Yeah.
-That's me, and that's Pam. -Yeah, okay. Gotcha.
Don't make -- Can this -- I'm sorry.
Can this just be about Pam?
I know that's you, but can we just give her a little --
-Alright. -Okay, fine.
-But I mean you have me on the show.
-Yeah.
-In that case, bring Pam on to the show.
-Yeah. -Alright?
-We tried to book Pam and we heard from your people
that she was not allowed to come on.
-Wow. Pam's back in Perth right now, on Trip Advisor.
We had this thing where we were like, she's the kind of person
that would, like, put bad reviews up online of like B&Bs
that she had stayed in and probably like carries around
a clipboard just for the hell of it.
Like, she's one of those.
-She's a very like, sort of a vicious wig, it sounds like.
-Yeah, she's just got a lot of opinions. You know?
-You're very good with accents.
Did people tell you you had a bad Australian accent?
-Eliza tells me all the time
that I've got a bad Australian accent,
and Margot Robbie tells me
that I've got a bad Australian accent.
-Can we hear it again real quick?
-[ Australian accent ] I mean, what do you want me to say?
You know, I'm Pam.
I'm Pam, and I'm here to entertain.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It's pretty good. It's pretty good.
-[ Normal voice ] It's not.
Thank God Eliza is on stage right now.
Otherwise she would be so embarrassed.
-Thank you.
Please do give all of our best to Pam.
-I will. She was asking for you, all of you.
-All of us.
-She really wants everyone to go see "Little Women."
-That's great. -On Christmas Day.
-Thanks so much for being here. -Thanks, Seth.
-It's always such a lovely -- lovely to have you here.
Saoirse Ronan, everybody.
