SEE YOU.
MURRAY T IS SO LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
I AM SUCH A FAN OF EVERYTHING ABOUT YOUR BECOME, IN EVERY
SINGLE WAY, WE AREN'T, AREN'T WE.
>> WHY YES, YES.
>> LIKEWISE.
>> James: I AM A FAN OF EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, BUT ALSO A
HUGE FAN OF YOUR MUSTACHE.
CAN I TELL YOU THIS.
>> YES.
>> James: IT IS-- HAVE I-- WHEN DID YOU MAKE THE CHOICE
TO GO FULL STACHE?
>> I WAS-- THERE IS A STORY, JAMES.
>> James: GO ON.
>> I WAS IN EGYPT, MY PARTNER WAS EGYPTIAN, HE HAD SOME WORK
THERE.
AND I ALWAYS FELT LIKE THE FOREIGNER WHEREVER I WENT.
A LOT OF MEN HAD MUSTACHES SO I DECIDED TO GROW A MUSTACHE.
AND THEN IT TURNED OUT I AUDITIONED FOR A SHOW TOWARDS
THE END OF OUR TIME THERE AND BOOKED THE SHOW.
SO I THINK IT WAS BECAUSE OF MY MUSTACHE.
SO THAT SORT OF BEGAN THE KIND OF TOM SELLECK PHASE OF MY
CAREER.
>> James: IT IS, ST QUAIT-- NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN GET
AWAY WITH T LOOK AT I ARNE, NOT MANY.
>> OH COME ON.
>> James: I'M JOKING.
>> I FEAL LIKE I'VE LOST WORK BECAUSE OF MY MUSTACHE.
>> I LOVE YOUR MUSTACHE.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> James: I CAN'T QUITE BLEERVEG I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE
LAST TIME WERE YOU HERE BUT IT WAS BEFORE COVID.
>> YES.
>> James: AND I FEEL LIKE YOUR ENTIRE LIFE HAS CHANGED IN THAT
TIME.
YOU MOVED TO NAS MASKS YOU GOT MARRIED.
>> UH-HUH.
>> James: YOU HAD A BABY.
>> I DID.
>> James: CONGRATULATIONS ON ALL OF THESE THINGS.
>> THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
>> James: HOW ARE YOU ADOPTING TO THIS WHOLE NEW LIFE AND
HAVING A NEW SMALL PERSON AROUND.
>> I MEAN I LIKE IT.
I LIKE IT VERY MUCH.
BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE FURTHER I-- INTO MOTHERHOOD I GET,
MEANING THE FURTHER AWAY FROM CON STANT ME SNOAKING AND
DRINKING, I HAVE REPLACED THAT BY BEING SUCH A NEAT FREAK.
AND THERE IS A MESS, LIKE THERE IS THIS PHENOMENAL AMOUNT LIKE
PSYCHEDELIC MESS.
NOT THAT I'M ON DRUGS, AGAIN.
>> James: IT IS EVERY WHERE.
>> IT IS EVERYWHERE AND IN A WAY, ARE YOU JUST LIKE, IT FEELS
LIKE A PLAGUE, LIKE THE BABY IS COVERED IN YOGURT, YOU ARE LIKE
WHERE DID THE YOGURT COME FROM.
THINGS LIKE THAT.
AND MY BEST FRIEND IS A MOM AND SHE IS LIKE YOU JUST HAVE TO
GIVE IN.
LIKE YOU HAVE TO LET IT TAKE YOU.
SO I AM OKAY, I'M JUST GOING TO LET IT TAKE ME AND SEE WHAT
HAPPENS.
AND IT WAS LIKE ON THE DAY, I STILL FELT I WAS CLEANING UP.
I FOUND FIVE CHEERIOS IN THE BABY'S DIAPER.
DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WE HAD THOSE IN THE HOUSE AND LIKE WENT THE
NIGHT WAS OVER, TIME TO GET IN BED.
PULL DONE THE SHEETS AND THERE IS A HANUKKAH CANDLES IN THE
BED?
LIKE, LIKE, DON'T GET IT.
I DON'T, BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK IT IS GOING REALLY WELL.
>> James: NOW SPEAKING OF LIFE CHANGING.
I COULDN'T QUITE CHANGE THIS, IS IT TRUE YOU ALMOST QUIT ACTING
FAIRLY RECENTLY BEFORE YOU BOOKED THE WHITE LOTUS, IS THAT
TRUE?
AND I CAN'T REALLY IMAGINE YOU NOT ACTING.
>> I FEEL LIKE MAYBE IT IS THE LIFE OF AN ACTOR OR MAYBE JUST
MY LIFE AS A AN ACTOR.
EVERY FOUR OR FIVE YEARS I HAVE AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AND THINK
MAYBE THIS IS NOT WHAT I SHOULD BE DOING OR PEOPLE WILL FIND OUT
I'M NOT REALLY A GOOD ACTOR OR SOMETHING.
BUT MORE RECENTLY IT WAS BECAUSE OF COVIDK I MOVED TO UP EAST TO
MASSACHUSETTS AND THE PANDEMIC HILT AND IT SEEMED LIKE OUR
INDUSTRY WAS KIND OF DECIMATED.
SO I HAD MADE THIS MOVE FROM NEW YORK TO MASSACHUSETTS.
I WAS FEELING THE KIND OF MORE PEACEFUL LIFE AND LOVERRING IT
IT.
SO I WAS LIKE WELL MAYBE THIS IS JUST ROLLING THIS.
I SHOULD LEARN TO MAKE FURNITURE OR THERE WAS A LOT OF, I THOUGHT
MAYBE I COULD BE LIKE THE AUSTRALIAN WEED DEALER, WEED HAD
JUST BECOME SORT OF LEGALIZED.
BUT THEN SEVEN WEED DISPENSARIES OPENED UP, THAT WAS OUT THE
WINDOW.
>> James: YOU WOULD BE VERY GOOD AT IT.
>> I WOULD LOVE TO ORDER WEED AND IT BE DELIVERED BY YOU.
I WOULD BE IMMEDIATELY HAPPY.
I WOULD BE LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD.
>> I FEEL LIKE I COULD SELL WEED WELL.
>> James: THAT NOW WE HAVE TO CON GRATE LATE YOU ON YOUR
BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE, I WANT YOU BACK.
IT IS THE PERFECT ROMCOM TO WATCH ON VALENTINE'S DAY, FOR
ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW, TELL US WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU
PLAY.
>> SURE.
IT IS ABOUT TWO SWEET PEOPLE WHO BOTH GET DUMPED AT THE START OF
THE FILM BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT OFTEN HAPPENS IN ROMCOMS.
AND THEY DECIDE NO HELP EACH OTHER GET THROUGH THEIR SADNESS
BY SAYING LIKE OKAY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO CALL YOUR EX, JUST CALL
ME INSTEAD AND I WILL INTERCEPT STMPLET AND THEY ACTUALLY END UP
HATCHING A PLAN TO TRY TO HELP EACH OTHER GET THEIR EX'S BACK
AND THAT IS ALL I WILL SAY, I'M GOING TO BE COY AND FLIRTY WITH
YOU GUYS ABOUT IT.
>> James: NOW YOU FILM THE MOVIE JUST TEN WEEKS AFTER
GIVING BIRTH.
>> YES.
>> James: HOW WAS THAT.
TEN WEEKS IS QUICK.
>> PRETTY QUICK, YEAH.
DIDN'T, I MEAN I WAS LIKE WELL THEY ASKED ME TO DO THE MOVIE
BEFORE SO HOWEVER I AM SHOWING UP, I'M GOING TO SHOW UP.
WHICH IS KIND OF LIKE, LIKE I HAD THE BABY AND THEN I'M
FEEDING THE BABY WITH MY BODY, WITH THE MILK THAT CAME OUT OF
MY BOOB, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU GUYS KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO GIVE
YOU THE SCIENCE.
>> James: WHAT!
>> I KNOW.
BELIEVE ME.
>> James: SHUT UP!
>> THAT IS WHAT THEY DO IN MASSACHUSETTS.
>> YES THAT IS WHAT THEY DO IN MASS, THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S
RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, HAVE I TO KEEP YOUR CALORIES UP TO NAKE ALL THE MILK
AND I WAS LIKE, I HAD TO SHOOT A MOVIE SO SOON AND I AM NOT, I'M
PUTTING A STICK OF BUTTER IN LITERALLY EVERYTHING I EAT
BECAUSE ALSO I AM A JEWISH MOM AND LIKE YOU HAVEN'T HAD ENOUGH.
YOU HAVE NOT HAD ENOUGH.
SO THERE IS THAT SORT OF CHALLENGE AND ALSO I WAS LIKE
OH, EVERYTHING I WEAR GETS COVERED IN LIKE ALL THE STUFF
THAT COMES OUT OF EVERY'S BODY.
AND SO I JUST RESORTED TO WEARING NIGHT GOWNS ALL THE
TIME.
AND I ARRIVED ON SET WITH LIKE A COLLECTION OF TEN, WHAT I LIKE
TO CALL HAUNTED NIGHT GOWNS, NIGHT GOWNS THAT HAVE JUST SEEN
IT ALL.
JUST SEEN IT ALL.
BUT OTHER THAN THAT, I THINK, IT WAS A SNAP.
>> James: WELL, THE FILM IS GREAT.
ARE YOU GREAT.
