-Your girls are 4 and 2? -They are 4 and 2.
-And, now, I'm assuming they're not gonna see this film,
but have they seen you on film?
And how do they react when they see you?
-My daughters, in general, loathe to see me on-screen.
-Uh-huh. -In general, you know?
I know, when I was doing "Mary Poppins,"
I'd even FaceTime my daughter, and she'd be like,
"Take that silly old Mary Poppins wig off."
She was like, "I like your blond hair."
-That's lovely.
-But, actually, we were having a Super Bowl Party,
and the trailer for "Quiet Place" came on,
which is terrifying.
-Yeah.
-And Hazel sort of wandered in with a hot dog in hand.
And she goes like this -- She goes, "Whoa."
That's you, Mommy."
And I was like, "Yeah."
And then there was a bit where I scream.
I don't know if anyone's seen the trailer,
but I'm literally like [screams] at the end of the trailer.
And she -- You could see her brain exploding.
But, instead, she went, "Ha...cool."
And then, like, walked out and never talked about it again.
-Well, that's the key to parenting is --
when a traumatic thing happens,
just let them deal on it on their own.
-Listen, that's how I was raised.
That's like the British way. -That's the British way.
They know something painful's happened to you.
Give it 10 years.
-Sweep it under the carpet. Yeah.
-Are you -- You must be excited for them to see "Mary Poppins."
-Well, they are in love with Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins.
-Okay. And had they been in love --
I mean, I guess they're not old enough to have been
in love with it for a long time, but how long have they seen --
-Well, I never showed it to them
during my shooting of the film,
partly 'cause I just selfishly didn't want to be so distracted
by how brilliant Julie Andrews was in the role,
already feeling that there was this, like, iconic boulder
that I had to, like, move aside to play this part.
-Were you worried that, like, your kids will see this one
and be like, "You're our second-favorite Mary Poppins"?
-Oh, I'm not even on the list.
They're, like, creepy obsessed
with Julie Andrews now, yeah.
-That will be a terrifying moment, then, for you.
That will be scarier than "A Quiet Place,"
having to watch your kids react to it.
-Yeah, I just don't even think they should see "Mary Poppins."
Like, they should never watch it.
-This will be your third film with Meryl Streep.
-I know. It's like, "Get your own movie."
You know what I mean? -Exactly.
Thank you for saying that, 'cause I thought the same thing.
-Stalker.
Yeah, and we always play people who sort of loathe each other
in the films that we do.
-Is there truth to the rumor "The Devil Wears Prada" --
There might be another "Devil Wears Prada"?
-I mean, I would love it. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
We all would.
-Did you know Stanley Tucci is my brother-in-law?
-I did know that Stanley Tucci was your Brother-in-Law.
-He, like, wormed his way into the family.
-But he wasn't during the first "Devil Wears --"
-No. So, we met on the first movie.
I'm talking about like there is another movie.
We met on the first "Devil Wears Prada."
And I just loved him so much, so he was at our wedding
and then met my sister.
-That's unbelievable. -I know.
-And they've been married for a while now, right?
-They've been married -- I don't even know how long.
-Too long. -Too long. Yeah.
And when you met John, he was already on "The Office," yes?
-He was, yeah.
-And were you aware of that show when you met him?
-I was sort of aware that he was vaguely recognizable,
but I was a huge --
-That's so romantic. -Yeah. It was like...
"You look blurily familiar."
Yeah. But I was a big fan of the British "Office."
-Uh-huh.
That's what the people on the American "Office" love to hear.
-Yeah, exactly.
And then I sort of binge-watched
the American "Office" and loved it.
-And how did you guys meet?
-It's, like, kind of a sad, lame story.
You know, not sad, but it's just kind of lame.
I mean, I was in a restaurant. He was in the restaurant.
I was sitting with a mutual friend.
This is our romantic comedy. This is it. Write it!
-This is Paul and Meredith.
-And my friend Gray goes, "Oh, my God.
There's my friend John." And that was it.
-Oh, really? -Yeah.
-And he came over to the table?
-Guys, it's golden. It's cinema gold.
-It is really good.
Did he -- I'm sorry to ask for the logistics to this.
Did he then come over and eat his meal with you?
-No. He was actually sitting with our friend Justin Theroux.
-Okay.
-And then he abandoned Justin
and came over to come and talk to us.
He did not eat.
He just stood there and made me laugh. Yeah.
-There you go. And it's worked out.
-He just did a bit.
-And all these years later... And did you know right away?
I'm sorry to dig in here. -I kind of did.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-That's good. -Am I speaking to "Us Weekly"?
I love you. I'm sorry.
-I just want to make it clear that you guys, as stars,
are just like us.
-I know. I am just like you guys.
Yeah. -But I'm so happy.
-It really is -- I mean, for waiting to see you guys
work together, I never would have predicted this film.
And it just so wonderful that you guys did it.
-It's so disturbing.
-Yeah, it's really disturbing, but it's really great.
-It's so good. I'm thrilled you love it.
It's sort of been overwhelming, actually,
'cause we were really nervous to work together,
and terrified -- John, in general,
was sort of terrified of, like, how people will view this film
or whether they'll accept it.
And people have just been incredible about it.
They just love it. -Well, they're right.
It's really wonderful.
And thank you so much for being here.
It's just a delight to have you. -Hey, anytime.
