Kaya, amazing film, I must say, at the end of the film, I at the end of it felt like
I was completely out of breath. I felt like I was running through the whole thing. You
obviously do a lot of running. Was it quite, were you having to hit the gym a lot?
Yeah, it was insanely critical. I mean watching it, I think you can see that, I took my mum
to have a nap afterwards, it was so exhausting for her bless her. But yeah, we were filming
in Albuquerque, New Mexico which is an altitude the first time any of us have ever been, an
altitude I didn't even know that was a thing, but it is, so every step you take is twice
as hard. So we did a little bit of training in the beginning, probably not as much as
we should have because we kind of wanted to hang out with each other more and play Mario
Kart instead of going to the gym, we should of done more of the gym because it was really,
really tough.
Speaking of hanging out, that's one of the big things about the film, obviously the previous
film, you guys had such a good bond, so afterwards, was there a lot of messing around? Like Mario
Kart?
Yeah, we cook every night, one of us, we cook for each other, I cook Brazilian food and
Ki Hong would make Korean food and Thomas would microwave something, we all pitched
in and we went on adventures, we went to a haunted maze for Halloween, we spent thanksgiving
in a cabin together, we hang out as much as we can.
Well that's amazing, you obviously have such a nice...A strong bond there. Now in the film,
obviously you get lost in sort of, the scorch desert. If you had the Gladers there or your
friend with you but if you could get lost with anyone else, who would it be?
I'd like to get lost with my dog, because I think it'd be really nice to just sort of
be wondering about with your dog and he can sniff things out and help you. I think i'd
go crazy if I was stuck with anyone else.
-Just you and the dog? -Yeah.
-But maybe not in sand dooms? -No. No, no, no more sand.
Although I heard it actually wasn't that warm?
No it's cold. Really, really cold. Surprisingly freezing most of the time. The first week
was warm on the day, then after that, it was really, really cold. We had snow on the last week.
-Really? In Mexico? -Yep.
So wrapping up warm them? Speaking of getting lost then, as mentioned you so in this film
a bit, have you ever got lost, or what's the weirdest place you've gotten lost?
I always get lost, i'm terrible with geography, and I can't multitask at all. So if i'm on
the phone to someone and i'm walking to my front door, i'll get lost. I need to be really
focused to get somewhere.
-Rely on a SAT-NAV? -Yep, yep, yep.
So in the film, we don't see you smile too much
No.
So, was it quite hard off screen, were you sort of there having to jolly yourself up
a bit? To try and cheer yourself up a bit?
Yeah, I mean it's nice that we do all get a laugh. Everyday is fun, every day we'll
laugh at least twice/three times and we'll have a running joke and someone would do something
stupid and so you do in between takes get a little bit of a break, but with this one,
she's a lot more intense, she needed to be lonelier, she needed to be a little separated
from the group, so i tried to do that as much as possible but I like them too much.
And obviously, we're left in a bit of a cliffhanger, so we know there's going to be another one,
so it will be good to see you back for that. So that will be filmed in...?
February. Hopefully we'll all get back together again, and be making a 3rd one. We haven't
seen the scripted or anything yet, but we kind of have some ideas.
You're obviously a busy lady at the moment, you've got Pirates Of The Caribbean as well,
have you started filming that yet?
Yeah we just finished, we finished two months ago.
And what's Johnny Depp like?
He's lovely, he's a sweetheart and a really wonderful actor to get to work around.
You really enjoyed doing that, could you tell us what you can expect from the film?
Yeah I mean, it's an adventure, It's huge, it's pirate ships and ghosts, everything you'd
expect from a pirate movie. I play an astronomer who's searching for the Trident of Poseidon,
and Jack Sparrow comes along and messes it up as always.
Does that mean we've lost you totally to L.A?
No, no! I don't like L.A. I like London.
So is this gonna be your home? Are you getting married?
Yeah we live between New York and London, so we kind of get the best of both.
-So you're not leaving us? -No.
And are there any wedding plans to fit in around your mad filming schedule?
Yeah, we'll make it happen eventually. But yeah, it's much more important than movies.
