-Ruby, it's a pleasure to meet you.
I've seen your work and I'm a big fan,
but for those that don't know, you're from Australia, right?
-I'm from Australia, yeah.
-Is that where you got discovered?
-Uh, sort of, yeah.
I started off modeling and going to acting school.
Got a job to the MTV and then ended up here.
And I just love it so much.
-Yeah, you're crushing it, pal. -Thank you.
-I know you're going back for the holidays, right?
-I am, yeah.
Every year I made a rule that I would always
make it home for Christmas, but I'm nervous this time.
I'm nervous for the last six years going home.
-Why are you nervous?
-I get a lot of anxiety around going home for Christmas,
but not like most people, like family feuds
or anything like that.
-No drama, no.
Drama --
Pig drama.
-What? -Pig drama.
-Pig drama? -Yeah.
-Okay. -And not just because
I'm vegan and don't eat pig.
-I mean like a real life pig
that wants to eat me, lives in my home.
-There's a stalker pig.
Is everything okay at the house there?
I mean, where do you --
there's a stalker pig that's attacking you?
-My mom always wanted a pig.
She always wanted a pig, and when I got the opportunity
to buy her a pig, I found, you know, mini-Pigs.
-Oh, yeah, the teacup pigs, yeah.
-Yeah, if it's the giant teacup at Disneyland.
And so I found this amazing place that rescues pigs,
and they have, you know, a particular breed
called Kunekune and they're meant to be small.
Its parents were small. -Yes.
-And I chose -- oh, yeah. Right.
-There she is.
That's adorable, this is attacking you?
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen in my lifetime.
-Isn't it beautiful? -Yeah.
I bought my mom that pig,
and it grew, like, double the size
every week until it's now the size of a wild boar.
[ Audience Ohs ]
What --
-Oh!
did your mom know it was not a teacup pig?
-This is false advertising.
-[ Laughing ] Oh my God!
-This is... -That's a giant pig.
Yeah, that's -- it's like when I bought something on Amazon
and it was meant to be a chair but it was this big...
-Yeah, yeah, exactly. -...and I thought I just
got a great deal.
This, not so much great deal.
Now -- -But it's a giant --
but it walks around the house like a pet?
-That's actually -- no, that -- that is after a year.
She had to get a new house because it doesn't fit there.
It wouldn't fit in there anymore.
-It walks around -- the pig -- is it trained as a house pet?
-Well, now we can't let it walk around the house,
and now I've got my mom a house
and we got a bigger house and now I'm trying
to buy next door because this is the only time
I will ever agree that there needs to be a wall.
[ Laughter ] And there needs to be a wall.
This pig wants to eat anything under the age of 15.
And it seems to think I am also under the age of 15.
-Yeah. -And my, like, little kind
of cubby house that I have at my mom's house
gets smaller each year and her house gets smaller
and the pig's house gets bigger.
And mine is -- I'm basically sharing a bed with this pig.
It's outside these paper thin doors
-Oh, no. -And all night, I can hear it,
like, calling me.
Like, make like -- [ Pig snort ]
-Oh, I got you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, okay. -Frightening.
-And I will walk past and I feel like it knows
what I think about it, and so --
because they're smart. -It senses your vibe, yeah.
-Yeah. -What's the pig's name?
-Euphemia, which is meant to be beautiful in Greek.
-Yeah. -Yeah, no.
I still call it emphysema.
Like I'm just -- I'm not a bad --
And I love animals, but I just feel like this one
could eat me and my whole family and last year,
we went to the emergency room
because it did attack my little cousin.
So -- -Wait, it really did?
-Mm-hmm. -What do you mean?
What does it do? Did it bite him?
-My mom has been doing these amazing, like,
cooking, I don't know, teaching pigs how to do things,
by cooking, which is also really fun,
because she starts really early.
-Gosh, we have such different lives, me and you.
[ Laughter ]
Wow, this is fantastic.
I love hearing this.
Cooking -- I have nothing.
I have nothing to talk about.
You're teaching a pig how to do stuff with cooking?
-Yeah, like clicks -- the click is the reward
because clearly she rewarded the pig with food too young,
and now it's enormous.
So she clicks for a reward, I'm not sure,
and the pig loves her.
It just hates everybody else, and she thought
it would be a good idea for my cousin to feed
this pig inside the enclosure.
I wouldn't even go in there.
And it kind of like ran at my cousin who is,
like, 12, and he didn't get --
it tried to eat her knee, which it would have
successfully done, but she jumped over the fence.
But she still had a very big, big boo-boo.
I think you don't say boo-boo after the age of like six.
So she basically had a really severe accident.
-Yeah, yeah, you called that boo-boo, exactly.
-Yeah.
-Well, we're wishing the best for you this holiday season.
Mm-hmm. -Let's talk about
"Pitch Perfect 3." Here you are.
You're in a rock band competing against
the Bellas for this USO thing. -Yeah.
-This is the last "Pitch Perfect."
-It is.
I mean, they always say that,
and I feel like people love this film so much.
-I know. -I hope it isn't the last...
-Me too. -Because I'm such a big fan.
-Yeah. -But it is.
-How'd you get involved with it?
-Well, I met with Elizabeth Banks about many projects.
This woman is so talented. She's always got 20 projects.
None of them were "Pitch Perfect."
And so, as I was leaving, she just sort of said,
"Oh, do you sing?"
-I was like, "Yeah, I grew up in a church choir.
I sing." And she was like, "Interesting."
I mean, she didn't do the Mr. Burns thing.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, but it's good for the story, yeah.
-I was like, "Okay." Yeah, it helps.
And as I was closing the door, she's like,
"Oh, do you play the guitar?"
And I said, "Well, when I was 16,
but I haven't played in years."
And she was like, "Interesting." [ Laughter ]
-Now she's Russian as well. -Now she's Russian.
-Yeah. -And I was convinced
that they wanted me to like
play the Christmas party or something.
-[ Laughs ] -And I had no idea.
-Bar Mitzvah or something, yeah. -Bar Mitzvah.
I was so excited, and it was such a letdown
to know they just wanted me in "Pitch Perfect."
[ Laughter ]
-Giant, giant movie, yeah. -Yeah.
Gosh, amazing.
Just really funny, talented cast.
I want to show a clip.
Here's Ruby Rose in "Pitch Perfect 3."
Take a look.
-What about --
artists you didn't know were Jewish.
-What -- -Let's do this.
-Let's do this. -Yeah.
-[ Beatboxing ]
-Oh. -Mm-hmm.
