- Hi! - Hi.
- How are you?
- I'm Sam Hueghan.
- And I'm Eiza Gonzalez,
and we are going to play Portrait Mode
- We are, I believe, ten minutes we have
to draw each other.
Meanwhile we will be answering questions.
- And we are going to try to not suck at this,
so here we go!
(upbeat music)
- I have to say, by the way, I am at a total disadvantage,
Eiza is extremely talented, so I'm going to give her
a head start (Eiza laughs) so off you go Eiza.
- I'm gonna start first, yes,
okay here we go (Eiza laughs). - Okayy, here we go.
And what am I supposed to do, look at her,
I mean she's (Eiza laughs)
so ugly - I hope you just at least
can not do a stick figure in there.
- Yeah, no peaking - Okay.
Here we go. - Here we go
Oh god, Bloodshot, the movie for me,
it really appealed because, obviously, a great cast,
Vin Diesel has created many action franchises,
one of the most iconic action heroes.
The characters are really awesome.
They're multifaceted, they're human,
- Keep drawing me.
- Oh god, Yeah (Eiza laughs)
and honestly, what a cast,
they're a great ensemble, apart from... (Sam clears throat)
- Wow! Shots fired!
Just because I'm better at drawing, you don't have to take
it personal. - Well we'll see who's better.
- I don't think I'm great, I'll just go ahead and say
I'm slightly better than you.
For me my favorite part of my role was that
it felt different to anything I had seen
for female characters in action films
I felt like it felt very well rounded.
It wasn't just necessarily this badass type of character,
she was also smart and emotional and had a depth to her,
and she didn't shy away from being emotional
which is something that I feel like
it's always kind of mutually exclusive
in these roles for females.
This is tricky to speak and
actually do this - It's really hard
to multitask. - It's really hard.
I'm just discovering that I'm not good at it.
I always thought I was. Which I'm not
- Aren't women better multitaskers?
- Yeah, and clearly I'm not one of them.
- [Interviewer] What about you, Sam?
What about your favorite?
- Dalton really is, he's an amazing character
and very different to roles I've played before.
I wouldn't say he's a bad guy,
I think he's just very angry,
- I'm just looking at your face. (Eiza laughs)
It's a really hard face to draw.
- He's ex-Navy Seal. Very, very good at what he does.
But he's had this terrible trauma he's suffered,
and I think he's angry. He's angry at the world
for having lost his light.
I think he's angry at the military,
and angry for being passed over.
He wants this technology.
He thinks he's better than Ray Garrison, and (both laugh)
and he's certainly not - He's suffering.
- Good at drawing. (Eiza laughs)
Did you read the comic prior to that?
- Prior to landing the role? No.
I actually started reading it when I got the movie
and I was lucky enough to not be part of the comic books,
my character is kind of created off the film,
and so I feel like I've been on the other side of the coin
where you have to audition for a role
that already exists, and the character already exists.
There's a lot of pressure in that
and you want to do the character justice
and the fans, so it allowed me to be creative and really
make my own version of what I thought KT could be.
- Good answer.
- Thanks babe.
- Thanks for talking for a while, it gives me time to draw.
- Yeah I really get better at your job.
right here, here we go.
- I didn't know the series, but as soon as I
heard more about it, I got several of the comics
and then it was really interesting
to get a sense of this world, where the Bloodshots in,
and it's amazing actually, this movie really is
pretty accurate, on march, to those comics.
- I'm doing such a bad job. (Eiza laughs)
It's just I don't have...
I usually do pastels so I can do depth and...
- I have a lot of depth. (Eiza laughs)
- [Interviewer] We are at five minutes so...
- It's just not very - No!
Are we really?
- [Sam] I'm going on.
- [Eiza] God. This is kind of...
(markers scribbling)
This is just because my (Eiza laughs)
because my
thing is black,
it just makes you look like a Mexican man.
(Eiza laughs)
So like if I do your beard, you're just going to look
fully like my dad.
- You're supposed to draw me, not your dad, you know that?
Did I feel any pressure playing this role?
Obviously this is a fan favorite,
but I think actually these characters weren't in the comics,
or our characters weren't, so it was really fun
to actually create these new characters
or try and, believe it or not who are going to be in
(Sam laughs)
gonnna be in the Valiant series.
But there was definitely pressure with
obviously Bloodshot is a fan favorite so,
we had to get it right but I think
with Dave Wilson at the helm, we are so lucky
he had such a strong vision of what he wanted to do.
Fortunately he didn't ask us to do any painting or drawing.
(Eida laughs loudly)
- Thank god that was not part of our
job because - I would not
- We would have not nailed this.
- I would not have got the job.
- Working with Vin Diesel was incredible.
I mean he was always just up for a new challenge,
and that's what I thought was really incredible about Vin is
when he started in the industry,
there wasn't a lot of opportunities for diverse actors
and I feel like he always fell in that category
and he kind of created his own opportunities.
The fact that he took a new dive into this film
is something that we were all grateful
and he had that attitude coming into the job
and so we had a lot of fun,
we enjoyed being around each other,
we were all stuck in kind of this place in Cape Town
and we all only had each other.
I have a very cute story. I had an accident
while I was in the movie and I was in the hospital
and he came and brought me... I remember coming out of...
the drugs and I was on the bed,
and he brought all this sushi,
and I looked at the door and every nurse,
every person in the hospital was there,
and I realized that Vin was in my room,
and had brought all this sushi from this sushi place
and put it on my bed and we sat down there
and I was, Dave always makes fun of me
because I was eating soup, and he says that that's his
fond memory of me, I'm like...
(Sam laughs)
he's like what? And it would like drip out my mouth,
and they're like are you okay, and I'm like yeah.
- [Interviewer] One minute left.
- No!
- Thank god, I can't take this anymore.
I don't know how to fix this.
- This makes no sense.
- If we could have one superpower, what would it be?
I think mine would be to be a better artist.
My mom is actually an artist so if she sees this
she's gonna disown me.
- I feel like mine will too.
- But I'm hoping that my skills don't lie here,
but somewhere else.
- My superpower would be to be able to tele-transport,
or to regenerate, I think that's an incredible talent
like superpower . I would actually choose that.
I am so sorry, Sam.
- I am sorry too. - You are so much
more handsome than this - Can we both say
we're really sorry
- No! No!
- [Interviewer] Ten... Nine... eight... seven...six ...
five...
four...
three...
two... one... pen down, pens down.
(Eiza laughs)
- In three two one?
Can we do it at the same time?
- Should we show it to him? Okay.
- Okay. - Okay.
- On the middle
- Middle one?
- One, two, three. (Eiza Laughs)
(laugher off screen)
- What is that? (Eiza laughing) You look like a Mexican.
- I'm a Mexican! (Eiza laughing)
- Your dream come true!
Wait what is happening here?
Is this a punch?
- Yeah.
- That is so cool!
That is so cool. - What does this say?
- You just look like a Mex... (Eiza laughing)
You look like my dad!
- Thanks boo. (Eiza laughing)
- I tried to like capture the shiny,
eyes that you have. - Oh I see it.
Yeah and and I have a heavy 'tache right?
(Eiza laughing)
My hair has never looked so good.
Why have I got wrinkles,
so many wrinkles (Eiza laughing)
- Because I just make you, you're already too pretty.
So I made you more rugged, I mean
it was just going to look like a girl with a beard.
Well I hope you guys enjoyed.
- You can keep that.
- You know, I said love you, sorry Sam. Eiza.
It was made with love. (Eiza laughing) it looks like
you have receding hairline.
- I do, that's okay (both laughing).
You have a really short arm.
- I know but I am punching so it's great.
And KTs pretty cool. You killed it. Thank you.
- Well done. (slapping sound)
