- I wanted to be a nun a lot when I was younger.
And then I kind of, whatever, I don't know,
I guess I probably got a boyfriend.
Something like that happened and (laughs)
took me right off course.
Hi, I'm Regina hall.
And today I am going to let Elle ask me anything
but before we get started
make sure to check out Me Time on Netflix.
(upbeat music)
My first job is I worked in a movie theater.
I was, I made popcorn a few days a week
and then the other days a week, I sold tickets.
It did make me really love watching movies.
Like I loved enjoying movies
and I loved like actually going to the theater
and watching things on a big screen
so that, it was, it made like going to the movies an event.
I can play any song by Prince on repeat
and I'll never get tired of it.
As of late, I've been playing Lady Cab Driver on repeat,
♪ Lady cab driver ♪
(laughs)
♪ Roll up your window fast ♪
♪ Duh duh dun nuh nuh ♪
That's it, that's all I give you.
Oh, who I'd be best friends with.
I wanna really be best friends with the Dalai Lama.
Like I always have, I don't know him,
I guess he's not a celebrity
but he feels like I'd wanna be his best friend.
Honestly, I like watching a good movie.
I like, I love a good hike,
like a nice quiet really me-time day,
like a a good meal at home.
I don't mind a couple of friends over
but like not too many 'cause then
you gotta cook and clean up.
Then it's no longer me-time, it's a work day.
But any day where like, it's like you just get to chill
and not have to think about anything
is a great me-time day.
All of it was awful.
No, I'm joking. (laughs)
No, working with boys, working with Mark and Kevin,
they're just, you know, they make me laugh.
I think the best part is just that you show up.
Kevin makes me laugh all the time.
I've known him for so long,
watched him have such an incredible time in his career.
Well, I just met Mark on this one.
He's like so chill, so relaxed.
And I was a big Mark Walberg fan,
now and then even way back in the day
when every girl had a crush on him from, you know,
when he was in Marky Mark,
was Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
So just to work with them both
and see them be really like great guys,
great family men and, and just laugh all day.
My favorite behind the scenes moment in the movie,
it would probably be the party only because for me,
I got to be with the rest of the cast
because we had so many good, funny comedians in it,
to be able to see everyone
kind of work and play off each other,
that was really fun.
I think I'm very quiet.
Am I quiet? (laughs)
I like quiet time.
I like me-time.
Is there someone who's like an extroverted introvert?
I'm an extroverted introvert.
Curious, I'm very curious, but I also don't care a lot
but I'm very curious about that,
what things I'm curious about.
I'd say I'm silly.
I'm a bit silly.
You think I'm silly, a little bit, a little bit silly.
I had a, a fish named silly.
I just thought about that.
My mom said I named it silly 'cause it,
'cause when I was a little girl, you know,
fish make their faces to eat.
And I was like, the fish is so silly.
So I'd say silly.
It's great.
The more you know about it,
the more you understand it's magnitude.
I definitely know what people use as a sound bite.
So it teaches you to be quite conscious
of things that you say, because you know,
it could be for print, but you know,
translation is everything.
This, it's so awful.
'cause I don't ever really know what I wanna play.
I read it and then I discover it.
But I do wanna play a nun, which I will be playing soon.
Since I couldn't be one, I'm gonna play one. (laughs)
I wanted to be a nun a lot when I was younger,
like when I was young, like 12, 13, 14
and then I kind of whatever,
I don't know, I guess I probably got a boyfriend.
Something like that happened and (laughs)
took me right off course.
My first major splurge is a car.
I bought a Maserati.
No, I'm joking.
I'm joking, I bought a (laughs)
a Lamborghini.
Yeah, no I bought a, a little
a little three series BMW in silver.
I had a used car and I name all my cars
and my first car, her name was Trina
and then she failed inspection.
She was too slow for the road
and they told me I couldn't get a sticker.
And so I was forced to buy a new car
unless I was gonna fix Trina.
But Trina, Trina had gone. (laughs)
When I went to get her fixed,
the guy came out and he said, Trina is sick. (laughs)
And so I bought a yeah, I bought a, I bought my first car.
I do like, I just can't do it as much
'cause it's so expensive,
but I do like home renovations.
I really do like,
I like like watching a house come together.
Like there's something about it, but I hate it.
But I do love it.
It's really scary. (chuckles)
But once you get out, get out there,
it's really fun.
It's always the preparation
because you just are wondering, mm
I hope the timing of this,
you just hope everything comes together and it all lands.
But once you're out there
in front of the actual live audience and all,
you've done all the work
and you're like, well, hope this shit works.
And then you get to go out
and have fun and hope it all comes together.
Ooh, my ideal day is if I wake up,
I won't even say early 'cause you know,
Mark was over there talking about
how he gets up at his 4:00 AM for his workout.
So like now I'm not even early,
but if I can wake up at,
if I'm not working and I wake up at seven
and I get a nice workout in and then a good breakfast,
I get a little reading done.
Just like, you know, get some errands or some stuff done
that you have to get done.
Like I get to make a nice lunch.
I know this is like nothing amazing.
You get to see your, I get to see my friends
like have a good friend, maybe watch a movie.
Like really the simplest day ,
that doesn't really require much is like the best.
If I could see a little bit of nature.
Ooh, and if I have a day where I get to watch the sunset,
it's my favorite part of the day.
I love to watch a sunset.
So yeah, that would be perfect
if I definitely get to watch the sunset.
I wish I could sing or really dance,
either one of them, sing or dance.
Like I love watching incredible dancing
or hearing it or hear like amazing singing.
Like that would be so much fun.
Like if I were a rock star
with like hundreds of thousands of fans
knowing all the words to my songs,
that would be pretty awesome.
I binge watched The Staircase and I just,
and I also did Under the Banner of Heaven
I watch a lot of like documentaries.
I just watched this one called Crazy Love.
But those were the shows I like recently just binged.
I can't live without, I love music.
I do like to listen to music every day.
At some point I like the sound of music in my ears
and I also equally love, probably silence.
I couldn't live without my argon oil
'cause it's so good for your skin.
Like the, the I like, I love skin rituals
so I couldn't live without my like skin regimen every day.
Shit, I hope a lot.
I don't want everybody knowing my business. (laughs)
I have a thing about clean baseboards
and dusting baseboards.
That's a big deal for me and my eye goes straight to it.
I don't know how some people miss it.
And dirty walls, if I walk in
and see some dirty baseboards and dirty walls,
I just, I wanna get right to 'em.
My best advice was from my acting teacher.
And she said, she said
don't build your career in being sexy.
You, it won't last long.
Not, not because of me
'cause she's like you won't be able to age in the business.
And then I had a publicist who said
never let your press proceed your work.
I think when you're starting, you think
oh I need the press to have a career
but it doesn't necessarily work like that.
So that was good advice.
And then Kevin told me, show my titties,
that's been working.
And so we've done seven movies together now.
So (chuckles)
he wasn't that impressed though.
He did say that and he said eh, you know,
but I got the job despite it,
based on my acting teacher's advice.
You see, it all, it all worked together.
I don't know if you ever have it.
You know, I guess when I showed Kevin my titties,
I don't know, I don't know.
When I started flangin', (laughs)
floggin' these things around town,
then that's when I was like, Hey, I don't know,
I think this worked, I think this worked
but now that I've, you see?
Yeah, 'cause now I'm buttoned up, you know,
10 years ago this buddy would've been dropped low.
So I guess now I feel like I've made it 'cause I'm...
No, I don't know that you ever feel like that
but you just start to feel more solid.
These feel less solid. (laughs)
Isn't that ironic?
Aw, the most meaningful compliment,
anytime someone says I made them smile.
Yeah, no.
I've had people who say they've watched things
when they've been sick or ill
and it's, they felt like it was healing to their soul.
So anything that's made a positive difference
in someone's life makes me really happy.
That and I have nice titties.
I mean, I mean, I mean, what else is there?
It all goes back.
You know, there's one truth. (laughs)
