-How are you? -Oh, I'm great.
Happy holidays. -Happy holidays to you.
-Happy holidays to everybody! [ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
-It must be so fun to have done three movies
with this same wonderful cast of people.
-No, 'cause they're all bitches.
-All right, yeah. I didn't think of that.
I didn't think through my question.
-No. No. No.
I mean, we've been working together on
the "Pitch Perfect" movies for six years now.
And, yeah, it's great that we're friends
onscreen and offscreen, as well.
-And it must be really nice when you go and have premieres.
You just did a premiere in Sydney,
which must have been very exciting for you.
-Yeah, I think it was basically just for my family and friends.
They demanded that a premiere happen.
I made that happen for them. -That's very nice.
-They also demanded an after party.
-This is your family demanded an after party.
This is your grandmother --
was out promoting pretty hardcore
-Yeah. She was...
She's just out at the local mall.
No one told her to do this.
Like, "The movie studio makes the money, Grandma,
not really me."
But she's out there in suburban Sydney,
like, pumping it, talking me up.
She also has a habit of telling people
how much I earn at the movies.
So I've stopped telling her things.
Yeah.
-That's an interesting thing when you realize
it's not safe to tell people anymore.
-Yeah, yeah.
'Cause I'll go home, and then everyone who works at
the supermarket or at the butchers,
like, knows how much I make for every movie.
-Not ideal. -Yeah, not ideal.
-The film takes place in Atlanta and Europe,
but you filmed it entirely in Atlanta.
-Yep, that's right. -How was Atlanta for you?
Did you enjoy it? -Oh, I loved Atlanta.
I tell you what -- Like, yeah -- Oh, is somebody from Atlanta?
-Barely. Someone sounds like they're barely from Atlanta.
-Or they went there once.
Okay. So, like, in L.A.,
I'm probably like a 6 out of 10, I think.
In Atlanta, I'm like 10 out of 10.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I was so popular! -Wow!
-Like, I couldn't even believe it.
There were these guys -- I was getting gas in my car
during Bella Boot Camp, which is, like,
rehearsal month for the movie.
And these guys looked like they were doing, like,
a little drug deal.
So they caught my attention.
And then after they were finished doing
their little thing, they came over and asked me out.
-Really? -Yeah.
But I was a little bit scared. -Uh-huh.
-So I said I had a husband. I don't, I don't.
And then they asked me, would I want free drugs anyway?
-Oh, wow!
-I was like, "When does that happen?"
Hardly ever.
And then -- -Yeah.
-Yeah. There's more story.
Like, I would get asked out, like,
basically every single day in Atlanta,
which never happens to me in real life.
And I was just driving my car.
A man rolled down his window and said,
"Hey, I own the ice-cream store down there.
Come with me.
I'll give you some free ice cream,
and we can go on a date."
I did also say I have a husband to that guy.
But so many times.
In Whole Foods on Valentine's Day this year,
I got bought roses.
I was just there buying food,
and a guy bought me roses in the store.
-That's amazing. -I know.
-So, you will always have a special place
in your heart for Atlanta.
-I feel like I need to go back there.
-Yeah.
-The rest of the year has been very dry.
So...yeah.
-You guys -- You had a scene -- Or was it -- An aquarium.
You went to an aquarium. -Yes.
Yeah, the "New Bellas," which I guess are
the younger, more attractive ones,
perform a sequence in an aquarium
with real whales and sharks behind them.
It's not an effect. It's, like, real.
-And this is real, too. I'm gonna show a clip.
You guys actually basically got a sea lion to sing with you.
-Yeah. Okay, they were rescued sea lions.
So, I know, you know, there's a bit of
controversy about aquariums and stuff.
But they said they were rescued
and that they really wanted to sing with us.
So, we're like, "Okay."
And we went down to the little sea-lion house.
And it was awesome.
-Here's a clip of you actually singing with
a real sea lion.
-I think this is from my phone.
On 3. Ready? 1, 2...
[ Sea lion roars ]
[ Laughter ]
-Yeah. It was so much fun. It was really...Yeah.
