Jonah Hill, oh my gosh!
Margot, what an epic film. I saw it last night.
Oh, you just saw it? So, it's fresh in your mind. Good.
So fresh, and just my eyes were like *bang*.
Can we relive that moment when you go the phone call to tell you that you were going
to work with Leonardo DiCaprio?
Well, he was the one who called me.
I didn't actually get a phone call. I got told by Leo and Marty, so I was standing in
front of them, which made it really difficult to play it cool.
It was just the craziest, most exciting moment of my life.
I just finished my audition, and I thought I'd blown it. I thought I'd totally blown
it. I'd done my audition the week before with them, and I'd done a really good job and it
was really exciting. Then I walked out, and they said come back a week later, and I thought
okay, okay this is... And I came back, and I was in there for five minutes, just five
minutes, and they're like okay, we're good, and I hadn't done anything special and I was
like... I'm walking out. I take off my heels because my feet are killing me and Ellen Lewis
is like, quick pop your head back in. The guys want to see you quickly. And I was like
now? And she's like, yup, now I was like no shoes on, my heels in my hand and my books
in my other hand, and they were both standing there like this. And I was like...It was like
silent. And I was like What's up? And they go: we'd like to offer you the role.
Ahhhh!
And I was like... Really? Yes. yes, thank. No, yes thank you. I'd love.... Yes, I will
do it. Yes.
I just ran around screaming. I was really excited. I was in New Orleans.
And then Leo gave me a massive hug, and then I kind of was like okay bye, and I ran out
of there. And I got in the elevator and did one of those like silly silent dances. Funny
enough, that's a natural human reaction. That's not just something you see in movies. That
actually was my actual reaction to do one of these silly dances in the elevator.
That's the best... That just put a smile on my face, yeah.
22 billion, 3 hours!
We know Leo obviously as this just huge movie star, but what's Leo like as you know, the
guy?
He's wonderful. He's a great friend.
He's just a really normal guy. He just has this group of dudes, like all his boys, and
he's always with his friends.
He's a lot of fun. He's a sweet guy.
He's super into the environment, and not many people realise that but he has this charity
that he works really hard for and invests a lot of time into it, and no one gives him
credit for that, which I think is a real shame. And he's not just doing that so that a celebrity
can have a charity. He likes, seriously knows everything about every plant and animal that's
ever been endangered and extinct and like, I'm talking everything. He's really funny.
He's a really funny guy. Everyone's so surprised by physical comedy in this film, but if you
knew him in person, he's actually very funny and physical comedy is kind of something that
just is a part of his personality.
What can't this guy do? I mean, he's nice. He's good looking. He's funny. I mean, charity.
He's amazing!
Yeah, he's great.
We don't work for you, man. You have my money taped to your boobs.
Technically, you do work for me.
Women wrapped up in money, not a hard day's work.
Yeah, I mean it was very bizarre how these people lived their lives for sure.
Fish eating. What was that like?
Well, they wouldn't let me eat the fish, so they had three goldfish handlers from PETA
there to make sure the fish wasn't harmed.
That's so sweet. So for everyone at home, the fish didn't die.
Yes.
Did you name the fish?
I did not. I think it had a name, but I forgot it.
I think we should name it Freddie or something. Okay.
What's wrong, daddy?
Oh my God.
The nudity scenes. Were they very daunting or were they just a bit like, okay this is
actually fine?
No, they're not this is just fine. In hindsight, they're fine. Now, I've got no concept of
modesty at all, and I actually have to remind myself that you can't just undress in front
of people. Like people get squeamish about things like that. I forget. After being on
the Wolf set, you get desensitised to things like nudity and weird behaviour. At that time,
it was really intimidating and daunting. The thought was daunting, but once you're on set,
it's a very professional atmosphere and everyone's trying to make it comfortable for you, but
not make a big deal out of it, so it was... it was fine. It was weird, but you just kind
of get it done, so it's not like you're naked all the time.
$56,000 for one dinner!
Dad, we're not poor any more. Tell him about the sides order.
What were these sides? The cure for cancer?
The sides did cure cancer. That was the problem. That's why they were expensive.
The film is all about excess. What one luxury could you not live without, if everything
was taken away from you?
I really like a comfortable bed.
That's quite a modest luxury.
Yeah, just a really comfortable bed.
You do spend about a third of your life in your bed, apparently.
Yeah, that's what I hear.
Thank you very much for your time. I can't wait for everyone to see it. Thank you so much!
Your energy has totally woken me up. This is good.
Nice talking with you.
