RECREATION," "LEGION," AND "THE HAPPIEST SEASON." SHE NOW STARS
IN THE NEW FILM, "BLACK BEAR".
>> I THINK I AM INTO TRADITIONAL GENDER ROLES.
>> YES.
>> NO, REALLY, I MEAN THAT.
I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T SAY A PART OF ME DOESN'T WANT A MAN TO JUST COME ALONG
AND TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING.
DOESN'T THAT KIND OF CONTRADICT YOUR ENTIRE LIFE?
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FILMS?
DON'T YOU THINK THEY ARE FEMINIST?
>> I DON'T THINK ABOUT THEM ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.
>> YOU DON'T THINK ABOUT THEM?
>> HOW CAN YOU MAKE THEM IF YOU NEVER THINK ABOUT IT?
>> SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE, YOU KNOW, MAKING SOMETHING YOU ARE
NOT -- >> I AM TALKING TO HER.

>> Stephen: NOW, YOU HAVE -- I WANT TO TALK ABOUT "BLACK BEAR"
BUT ALSO HAVE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT HAPPIEST SEASON, OKAY,
PEOPLE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.
CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNER AND YOU JUST, YOU JUST STARTED
ON THIS BIG HIT HAPPIEST SEASON, SPOILER FOR ANYBODY OUT THERE
WHO HASN'T FINISHED IT, BUT YOU HAVE A MESSAGE FOR THE FANS WHO
THINK THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE ENDED UP WITH KRISTIN STEWART?
>> LOOK, I WANTED IT TOO, OKAY?
I AM NOT GOING TO LIE.
I WANTED IT TOO.
THE I WANTED IT VERY BADLY BUT I DIDN'T WRITE THE THING AND I
DIDN'T DIRECT THE THING I JUST SHOWED UP AND DID MY JOB AND GOT
OUT OF THERE.
THERE ARE SOME THINGS YOU JUST DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER.
>> Stephen: TRUE.
>> BUT I AM NOT GIVING UP HOPE FOR RILEY.
I THINK THAT SHE HAS GOT A BRIGHT FUTURE AHEAD.
>> Stephen: YOU SHOT THAT IN PITTSBURGH, RIGHT, BEFORE COVID?
>> YES.
RIGHT BEFORE COVID, IN FACT.
LIKE COVID WAS ON OUR SET, KRISTIN GOT SICK.
>> Stephen: WE DIDN'T -- >> NO, WE DIDN'T KNOW.
>> Stephen: WAIT IS THAT NEWS?
ARE WE BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW?
DID EVERYBODY KNOW -- >> SORRY.
>> Stephen: NO, I WANT THAT TO BE NEWS.
WE CALL THAT AN EXCLUSIVE.
>> LOOK.
ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT KRISTIN, I KNOW.
BECAUSE -- >> Stephen: WE WILL DISH, WE
ARE GOING DISH LATER.
WE ARE GOING TO GET TO THE DIRT.
>> NO, NO.
A LOT OF PEOPLE GOT SICK.
IT WAS LIKE I THINK IT WAS THE LAST WEEK OF FEBRUARY, SO PEOPLE
WERE STARTING -- IT WAS LIKE THAT STOLEN WHERE PEOPLE WERE
STARTING TO TALK ABOUT CORONAVIRUS BUT PEOPLE WERE KIND
OF LAUGHING ABOUT IT, NOBODY UNDERSTOOD HOW SERIOUS IT WAS
BUT I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE ON OUR SET GOT STICK.
I DIDN'T, THANK GOD.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN --
>> NO.
BUT WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE SET AND GOING TO THE AIRPORT,
PROBABLY ON LIKE FEBRUARY 29TH OR SOMETHING, I SAID TO LIKE ONE
OF THE GUYS DO YOU THINK I SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS
LIKE VIRUS THING?
LIKE WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS THING?
AND HE WENT, IT IS ALREADY HERE.
AND I WAS LIKE, WHAT? HE IS LIKE, OH THAT [EXPLETIVE] HAS
BEEN IN PITTSBURGH FOR A LONG TIME.
AND I WAS LIKE, GEEZ, ALL RIGHT.
ANYWAY, HE WAS RIGHT, JOEY.
>> Stephen: JOEY.
YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO THOSE GUYS, THEY HAVE BEEN AROUND.
THAT'S THEIR JOB.
>> I KNOW, I KNOW.
>> Stephen: HEY, WHAT IS TO DO IN PITTSBURGH IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE WINTER?
I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT.
IS IT A FUN TOWN?
>> YES.
ACTUALLY, I THINK PITTSBURGH HAS THE -- ONE OF THE HIGHEST
CONCENTRATIONS OF BARS IN THEIR CITY.
I THINK THEY HAVE THE MOST.
I COULD BE WRONG.
I AM NOT A SCIENTIST.
>> Stephen: SAY IT.
>> BUT I THINK THEY HAVE THE MOST BARS THAN ANY CITY.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE NOT A BAR SCIENTIST?
>> NO.
I AM NOT A COMMUNITY SCIENTIST, BUT I AM PRETTY SURE THAT THEY
HAVE THE MOST LIKE DIVE BARS PER CAPITA.
THAT'S THE WORD.
>> Stephen: YEP.
DID YOU GUYS HIT THEM?
IS THAT HOW YOU FOUND OUT THAT YOU HIT ALL OF THESE DIVE BARS?
>> WE HIT THAT.
WE DID HIT THAT.
INDEED.
AND IN FACT, ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE -- WE SHOT IT IN AN
AMAZING BAR IN THE MOVIE THERE IS LIKE A DRAG SHOW SCENE, BUT
THE WEEKEND BEFORE WE SHOT THAT SCENE I DRAGGED A LADY OUT FROM
ONE OF THE BEST BARS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO, CALLED THE BLUE MOON
AND THEY HAVE AN INCREDIBLE -- IT IS A GAY BAR IN PITTSBURGH,
THEY HAVE A DRAG SHOW THERE, THEY HAVE LOTS OF THINGS GOING
ON THERE AND MAN THAT WAS A FUN TIME.
>> Stephen: BLUE MOON.
BLUE MOON.
>> BLUE MOON.
>> Stephen: THE MOVIE HAD A DRIVE IN PREMIERE, WAS THAT YOUR
FIRST DRIVE IN PREMIERE, YES, IT WAS, IT WAS MY FIRST.
AND IT WAS REALLY GREAT.
IT FELT LIKE I WAS IN THE SIXTIES AGAIN.
>> Stephen: DID PEOPLE HONK AT THE END?
>> PEOPLE NOT ONLY HONK AT THE END, BUT WHENEVER ANYONE LIKE
GETS EXCITED THEY HONK, LIKE IT IS LIKE -- AND IT IS VERY
NATURAL THING, TOO.
LIKE, YOU KNOW, WHEN PEOPLE LIKE WHEN THERE IS LIKE A SEXY THING,
PEOPLE LAY ON THEIR HORN, LIKE THEY JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF
IT, AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT -- WHAT.
>> Stephen: I WANT TO SAY MAYBE THEY ARE LAYING ON THEIR
HORN BECAUSE THERE IS SOME SEXY THINGS GOING ON IN THEIR CAR.
THAT'S HOW DRIVE-INS WORK.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: MAYBE THERE WAS AN ERRANT FOOT.
>> YOU CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT IN YOUR CAR.
>> Stephen: YOU ARE NOT A LAWYER BE -- YOU ARE NOT A
LAWYER BUT -- >> I AM NOT A LAWYER.
I AM NOT A BOTANIST, BUT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANT IN YOUR CAR
CAR.
BUT THE ONE THING I REALLY LIKED ABOUT IT WAS THEY WOULDN'T LET
US TAKE OFF OUR MASKS SO WE HAD TO DO LIKE ALL OF THE RED-CARPET
PHOTOS IN OUR MASKS AND KRISTIN AND I WERE BOTH VERY UPSET ABOUT
THIS BECAUSE IT IS LIKE I NORMALLY FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE ON
THOSE THINGS BUT I WAS LIKE, HONESTLY, I DON'T WANT THIS TO
END.
I WANT TO KEEP THIS MASK ON EVERY TIME I AM GETTING MY --
>> Stephen: WE CAN'T SEE ANY EMOTION WITH THE MASK.
IS THAT OKAY OR DO YOU JUST LIKE TO DRAIN IT OUT OF YOUR FACE
ANYWAY?
>> OH, MY FACE, IT IS HARD FOR MY PACE TO SHOW ME EMOTION
ANYWAY.
>> Stephen: CAN YOU SHOW ME YOUR RED-CARPET MASK WORK?
DO YOU HAVE A MASK CANDY?
>> I LEARNED FROM TYRA BANKS THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS SMILE
WITH YOUR EYES.
>> Stephen: LET'S SEE IT.
>> Stephen: THAT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE DESPERATELY, YOUR EYES
ARE SCREAMING CALL THE POLICE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU.
WOW.
>> AND THAT WILL GET ME A CHANEL CAMPAIGN, WATCH OUT.
>> Stephen: AUBREY WE HAVE TO TAKE A QUICK BREAK BUT DON'T GO
