Congrats on the movie, I mean, for the second time,
you get to play Wednesday Addams.
I mean, was it as much fun as the first time?
You know what I mean? You got to do this twice.
Honestly, even more fun.
You know, I really got to jump into her shoes even more and try to figure out,
you know, what ranges of emotions look like for Wednesday.
You know, what does she look like when she's agast?
You know, how you even get surprised.
Yeah. And with COVID, was it different like as in
did you record for your own house a little bit for this one?
Do you think that was that change up the vibe of it a little bit?
Yeah, it started off at my house and then I went to
film the movie in Boston, and then we finished
recording it in my closet in an apartment in Boston.
So one of the most Covid.
Yeah, one of the most like Covid centric things I've done yet. Yeah. Yeah.
And Wednesday is front and center in this one.
I mean, she's a teenager
who's obviously a little bit a little bit different like us all.
And when you were a teenager, seeing that, you were famous.
So your life must be a little bit different to some of your friends.
Identify her in that way or maybe others.
Yeah. You know, I think it's it's it's something that's intrinsic.
I think to to do the human coming of age story is that
I think we all kind of find ourselves in moments and experiences
where you're like, am I qualified to be here?
Like, do I know what I'm doing?
I feel like I still feel that consistently.
If I'm ever at award ceremonies or anything like that, I'm like,
I don't know that I was supposed to be here.
Yeah, for sure. You know,
I think it's something that I super, super connected to with Wednesday.
And I think it's something that really stays with you with the story for sure.
Yeah. And animated like this,
like they take a lot longer than a normal live action movie to make.
That they're constantly changing, I believe.
Is there another script changes along the way and like emails gone
OK, will totally change. Actually wasted the day.
Do you know what I mean? Let's do this. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, it definitely changes and it shapes.
And I think Conrad is such a wonderful director. Be so quick.
So he and I really got into a wonderful place with each other where we
we ripped out the script, you know, in only a few sessions.
So, you know, he's he's super definitive on what he wants and how he wants it.
And, you know, we we honestly we we we finish it up so quickly.
I was surprised at how quickly we got through it.
But he's just he's a proficient director, OK.
And this is a family movie, obviously, but it is a little bit darker.
I mean, you've done lots of darker movies from in Carrie.
I love those movies. I love horror movies or any sort of darkk ones.
Do you like the creepy side of movies
and creepy movies and like Halloween's coming up?
Do you do up? The whole has to know
this place to be to this bedroom even will be decorated
by the time Halloween comes around?
Oh, for sure. I mean, I think, you know, I think my my my resume
and my resume stands for itself with how much I like dark films.
I think that I've always been interested in the more macabre side of life.
You know, it's always been something I've I've felt myself lean into you,
and especially with Addams Family, like when I was younger,
I grew up on Addams Family.
You know, Christina Ricci was like, you know, my my, my
my dream of what to become as an angsty teenager.
So so for sure, you know, I think I've always been interested
in the darker side of things. I've gravitated towards it.
So it felt like a natural extension to be able to have the opportunity
to play Wednesday.
And I jumped at the opportunity.
I was like, this is I'm at this point in time, I couldn't play 13 physically,
but my voice can totally be 13, 14, so go for it.
And of course, she is a teenage girl.
Wednesday, we said at the top
what you want teenage girls maybe to take away from this movie?
You know, I think
something that I really enjoyed was was, you know, the fact that,
you know, towards the end,
the idea of chosen family, you know, and that it
you know, you don't just have to be a blood relation to be family
and to love each other and for it to be a family.
And so that's something that, you know,
when we don't really know what Wednesday is and whether or not
she is a part of the family, she still chooses to be an adult.
And I think that was an ideal and something that I really thought
was so important and intrinsic to the story.
And I love how they navigate that.
And and, you know, also that, you know, she's unabashedly herself
throughout the whole thing and that she really was led
with an open palm to to figure out who she is.
And Morticia didn't pressure her too hard.
And I thought that was that was really sweet.
It was congratulations on the film.
Love this and that. Yeah, great subject. Chloe, thank you. Thank you.
