- We're back with Brooke Shields, my dear friend.
And in your new movie, Holiday Harmony,
you're a car mechanic.
And don't even get me started
'cause I am so obsessed with them, an alpaca owner.
- Yeah, and they, it was so interesting
'cause I had to work with these alpacas
and they weren't trained alpacas, I don't know.
So I literally had to spend time with these alpacas
to get them to trust me and it was--
- [Drew] How did you do that?
- I just was really calm, really quiet.
And they do this thing called,
(Brooke mimicking alpaca)
and I was like, oh God.
And you don't know if they're gonna go crazy or not.
They're so sweet.
Anyway, it was really fun doing a movie
where I'm like dirty all the time
and have a slight accent,
and I'm with alpacas.
But Christmas, the Christmas song at the end of this movie
is like, it does not get better than this and--
- And it's a love story. - It is.
Annelise Cepero is the lead of the show,
and she's just, she's got a voice of an angel
and she's so sweet.
And I'm a sucker for Christmas movies,
I love watching them, being in them,
I'm just, you know, they're just, they're feel good.
(audience applauding)
- [Drew] Listen,
there is a large industry
that relies on this time of the year
as their big money makers.
I mean, Christmas movies are very important to people.
All right, so this Skims campaign, we gotta get into it.
(audience cheering)
I mean, are we back in Calvin Klein?
How old were you when you shot
the Nothing Comes Between My Calvins?
- 15.
- I mean, you look the same.
- No, but thank you.
- Like identically the same.
- The whole thing was so quick
but it was so empowering,
and it was just empowering on a very large level.
Like what was scary to me was that
normally I have this sort of way
of getting prepared for something,
and you kind of go a little,
if you know you have to fit into something,
it's not my normal size, you kind of go into,
I'm gonna work out,
I'm gonna eat better for three weeks and it'll--
- Get in fighting shape.
- Fighting shape.
I had no time
and I just thought, you know what?
Stop judging yourself.
Listen to the music.
Go just act as if.
- [Drew] Get lost in the fantasy.
(audience applauding)
- As, if, you know?
When you see confidence,
'cause you can see insecurity,
and when you see confidence even if you have to fake it,
I had to fake it until I made it.
And I was doing it in real time and I thought,
okay, get your posture right,
walk out as if you've always deserved to be here.
And you know, I felt like I was in a train wreck
by the end of it because I got on that plane
and I thought, what just happened, you know?
But it was such an, it was an honor
and I'm an, it's an honor that I keep getting
asked back anywhere.
But Kim herself DM'd me the next day.
- Really?
- Like there was a human piece to it,
that probably shocked me more than the fact
that I had the guts at all
to get in underwear after this movie.
- What did Kim say in her DM?
I'd love to know.
'Cause I'm just so fascinated by her
and you know, she's really just made everything of herself.
There's no one handing her anything,
she is making it happen.
- She DM'd me this message and she was like,
you know, I just wanted to say thank you.
We were so excited and I,
it was such an honor and I said,
say hi to your mom and you know, I mean, I don't know her.
And you know, I know how to work a position--
- Yeah you do. - And they've got good light
and they've got hair and makeup people,
and it's like they do everything
that they can. - [Drew] Best hair ever.
- I mean, that was like,
I didn't wanna to ever
wash my hair after that. - Who did you hair for that?
I need to know. - I will tell you, I will.
- [Drew] Okay, please do.
Yeah, exactly.
- It was designed to make you look good, you know?
Also, I mean,
from my perspective
when during the pandemic,
I really, I had such an aha moment
and I, I'm 57, but--
- God!
(audience applauding)
- Thank you.
But when a woman turns a certain age,
it's like the world goes, you're done, you're good, okay.
You've raised the kids, we're good,
we're gonna put you out to pasture.
And by the way, hell no.
And I thought to myself
I need to create a community,
I need to build a wellness brand for women over 40
who are becoming empty-nesters,
who are trying to get back into a workforce
but they don't even know what they wanna do
and we need to inspire them.
And so I built this wellness brands called Beginning Is Now.
So that's what,
that's what that experience for me was.
I thought, okay, yeah, you know, you're not,
you don't look like you did at 15,
but I don't wanna be 15 anymore.
But I wanna be the best I can be now
and I want other women to feel that.
- And I think it's worth risking putting yourself out there
knowing everything you're gonna get back
is not all a hundred percent positive,
nobody gets that in life, I don't care where or who you are.
But risk putting yourself out there to ingratiate others
to Brooke's point, lift each other up, and I just,
your behavior, your mindset, your heart,
you've always been
just such a shining example
of how a human being should operate in this world,
and I just love you more. - Thank you.
- And thank you for coming on today.
I love you.
This is so much fun.
