you're never really fully naked, it's all smoke and mirrors,
it's like-- is it not? are you not? no. you've just ruined it. yeah,
sorry. you just lost a million viewers straight away. i didn't say that.
hi I'm oliver trevena at the young Hollywood studio with viva bianca. yeah. ahem. viva
bianca. she's real, sitting next to me. here. I'm here. you are here. and you're looking amazing as
you always do. thanks, i threw it together. did you throw it together? in a minute-- do
you have a stylist or is that just on your own back? on my own back. really? I'm carrying it.
it's heavy. well, I know it's on your own back. I meant, like, did you choose the outfit yourself,
because, you know, it's hollywood, isn't it? all these hollywood starlets stuff the stylists
running around picking dresses for ya. yeah there was a bit of that. um, today, literally,
was like "eeny-meeny-miny-moe". I went the retro thing. catch a dress by its toe. if it fits... and
it does. let's give it a go. that's the poem, eeny-meeny-miny-moe. Wow. you can use that.
"Spartacus". yes. vengeance. that's right, we're back with vengeance. you
are ilithyia. yes. and you play it amazing. thank you. I mean, yeah, I love watching it.
you remember what happened between us?
i remember everything.
do not think i will be so easily threatened.
again, you've mistaken it.
well, yes, a little bit of a guilty pleasure, I'm told. it is, it's definitely a guilty pleasure,
one that, I'm sure, me speaking on behalf of a lot of men out there, enjoy every single
second. i'm sure you do. yeah. but it's not just a great show because of the nudity,
and because you're nude in it sometimes, it's a great show with everything else,
I mean, it's violent. it's, they do push the barriers, don't they? they do. in fact,
even sometimes we're on set, we're like, you seriously want us to do this? right. every now
and then, I think we have to tame back some of the, like, group orgy scenes or, like, revolting,
like, fight scenes with someone will, like, piece out a human heart their own hands like,
seriously. yeah, less violence, more nudity. you need to switch them two out, that's fine.
how is it -- I know you probably been asked this a million times, but to be... out there.
on -- yeah! it's always really awkward. it never gets easier, it's always just as awkward as it is?
Yeah. right. yeah. and the other weird thing is, like, the guys that you're doing the scenes with
are like your brothers cuz we've been shooting together for a couple years now. that's just
made it really weird, yeah. so weird. you're just pissing yourself laughing half the time. you're
like "cut! I can't do this." so you're naked on top of your brother and you're laughing. yeah,
but, you know, you're never really fully naked, it's all smoke and mirrors, it's
like-- is it not? are you not? no. you just ruined it. yeah, sorry. you just lost a million viewers
straight away. I didn't say that. it really is nudity it's fully nude all the time. yeah,
it's real sex. right. of course. most jobs, I mean, you know, hard at work, you know,
I can't wait to go home and get my clothes off -- do you rush home and put clothes on? yeah,
yeah, and I eat heaps. rush home, put clothes on, eat, yep, totally. do you have to to be-- I mean,
you obviously look amazing, amazing shape. is that a strict regiment for doing that? no. in fact,
they told me to put on weight. really? yeah, all the guys had to do this, like, intense, um, some
kind of army boot camp workout and sort of all like buffed with muscles, but for me they're like,
"no we need we need curves, we need roman goddess, you know, chunk up, baby." I was like,
sweet! this ilithyia, your character, is changed a bit since the first season. she is desperately
fighting to get back on top, yeah, position of status, and, you know, roman power, yeah. and
she's also preggers, and that kind of makes her journey a lot more interesting right. of course,
the producers were like, ooh pregnant, she's gotta be sexy, you know, "Spartacus", but the nice thing
about having the baby in the story is that it kind of gives ilithyia this new dimension of empathy.
I removed myself to my father's villa.
you will stay at my side.
and then you've got the thing with lucy, lucretia, you've got that rivalry which-- she's like the
coolest actress to work with, by the way. is that fun? she's so fun. she's new zealand,
kiwi, right? she's a kiwi, we have a bit of a, you know, aussie/kiwi rivalry. there is that,
isn't it? do you guys have that with canadians? no, not really. we kind of have it with everyone
I guess. I was gonna say australians, but that's only because, every time I talk in LA, people are
like, "are you from australia?" I'm like, I don't sound anything like-- not that there's anything
wrong with-- you actually don't. no. I don't sound like the way you're talking. I hope not.
something's got weird. it started off well. could have been a relationship in it. it's
now turned sour. I'm joking. are you? you can say that about my accent. I don't want to. I
think it's lovely. that-- thank you. see, I'm not gonna give in to that. um, viva,
thanks for stopping in. it was nice. looking forward to more episodes. yeah. counting
the hours down now actually. tune in and watch "spartacus vengeance". I mean, why wouldn't you?
