I'm so excited to be here.
Thanks for having me.
I'm so excited to have you here.
And you, and you're carrying a child with you.
I'm carrying a child.
So you and your child.
Yes.
Thank you.
I'm very, very pregnant.
Are you feeling good?
This is the first time that you've been pregnant.
Is it harder than you thought, easier than you thought?
I've had a pretty great time of it so far,
but I think I took a lot for granted before this,
now that I'm in my current situation, like sitting.
I'm obsessed with sitting.
And even when I was standing back there,
I was looking at this chair, and I was like,
oh, I can't wait to sit in that chair, that beautiful comfy
chair.
Really?
Standing is not fun?
It seemed like sitting also might be uncomfortable.
Sitting for a while-- well, I'll tell you one thing, getting up
is going to be challenging.
I see.
You're going to have to--
I'll help you.
--I'm counting on you to hoist me--
I see.
--out of the chair.
We should have had one of those chairs that actually
help push you out of the chair.
Yes, that just eject me.
Yes.
Do if you're having a boy or a girl?
Have you-- are you waiting?
I am not waiting.
I was-- I wanted to know way early.
I'm having a girl.
You're having a girl.
Yeah.
I'm so excited.
Thank you.
[CHEERING AND APPLAUSE]
So you were gonna keep it a secret,
but Oprah opened her big mouth.
And-- I mean, she really did announce it, right?
She did announce it, yeah.
I was going to--
I had told Oprah and Reese on a movie we're working on,
A Wrinkle in Time.
Right.
And she announced it at [INAUDIBLE]..
She was very excited.
And at first, it was like, OK, if anyone
was going to announce big news about your private life,
Oprah Winfrey is the person.
Right.
Yes.
You can't complain that much about it.
And you also can't be like, hey, Oprah, zip it.
Yeah, no.
Because that's-- she's almost like a religious figure.
Right.
She's like-- so.
Yes.
I actually thought that was like-- well,
OK, if there's one person I have to tell my daughter about that
revealed her existence to the world, Oprah's pretty good.
That's the person.
Yeah.
But did she realize then shortly after that she--
like, it was not supposed to be announced?
Did you tell her?
Or is she just learning this now?
I think I learned--
she's learning this now.
I think I learned a long time ago
that it's probably not a good idea to reprimand Oprah.
Uh-huh.
[INAUDIBLE] you can go through your life and not--
Well, you don't have to do it with your finger like that,
but you could just say, hey, nobody knew.
At a certain point, I was like, you can't take it back,
so I thought, you know what?
There are worse things.
And I'm excited about it.
So you were shooting the movie, like you said,
with Oprah and Reese in New Zealand.
Yeah.
And I've never been there, but it just looks beautiful.
That must have been-- first of all, just the two of them
are fantastic, but then being in New Zealand, how was that?
Well, they're-- OK, New Zealand is beautiful.
And being there with those two was amazing.
And I felt so lucky to be able to go.
But I'm not very outdoorsy, and New Zealand is just outdoors.
Like, there's nothing else.
You can't, like, be inside if you're in New Zealand.
There are no structures there?
You cannot go inside?
[LAUGHTER]
There are, but you're considered like you're wasting
your time if you're inside.
So one time, though, I decided to go
for-- we had a break in shooting,
so I decided to go for a walk in the beautiful forest.
It looks like Lord of the Rings.
And their whole thing there is like the streams are so clean,
the water is so clean you can drink from it, just
like with your hand.
And you can drink from it.
And you can't do that in LA.
I don't even know if there is a stream here.
Well, there's canals.
But yeah, you shouldn't do that.
You shouldn't drink from them.
I've never seen anyone do that.
That.
It would be-- and so I thought, OK, well I'm
gonna take advantage of this.
So I went down to the stream and I drank from the stream.
And I came back so excited about this outdoorsy story
for me, my pitiful self.
And I told Reese and Oprah, like, hey guys,
I just went for this walk, and I went down
to the bed of a stream, and I just drank from it,
and it was so beautiful and amazing.
And Oprah looked over at me, and she goes,
that's how one of my dogs died.
[LAUGHTER]
I was like-- and I was like, Oprah, why are you telling me
this?
Right.
Because I was also thinking, like,
are there any dogs better cared for in the world
than Oprah Winfrey's dogs?
No.
This is like a death sentence.
And then she's like, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Just like, I don't know, I don't think so.
Wow.
Just waited for the rest of the day till something happened.
So she just blabs anything.
She just, like--
[LAUGHTER]
--wow.
