- What is the question?
That was a rumor.
I'm gonna leave with like however many puppies they have.
Hi, I am Tessa Thompson.
I am here with Buzzfeed and I am about to be here
with a lot of puppies, which I'm really excited about.
And I'm gonna answer your questions.
Or I'm gonna try, it's gonna be hard.
(upbeat music)
Oh my God.
They're so floppy.
Hi.
Probably doing an underwater fight scene with Thandiwe,
and we shot in Mexico,
so it was like being on like a twisted vacation.
Like sometimes she'll like, look with her eyes
before moving her head,
which was really fun to try to like capture...
To try to capture the spirit of her...
Yeah, just the way she moved.
And then to make it my own, I think, you know,
it was sort of easy cause like it was me doing it,
so it was gonna be my own, if that makes sense.
So this sounds kind of kinky, but I don't mean it to be.
Probably Michael B. Jordan cause he could like
work out for me.
He could take my body for a month, honestly,
and you know, help it.
It's very "Westworld".
There's probably like splintered group chats.
Like I have one I think with Evan Rachel Wood
and James Marsden,
and then Thandiwe, she's a good texter.
It's a lot of memes with her.
What is the question?
Oh my God.
The hardest part sometimes is just how mean she is.
And I love my castmates so much.
Being in that space sometimes is challenging.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
Body parts.
And I also have like a special suit
which I think actually you might see in the finale.
I technically think I might have auditioned for a host,
for an original host on "Westworld",
but then then they called me and asked me
to read something else.
And this time I knew it was for a human. So I might have...
Whoa.
These two.
I auditioned for "Cloverfield".
As an actor you just forget all the things
that you auditioned for that you didn't get.
You just forget them right away.
Mark Ruffalo.
He's my favorite person.
I would be stuck anywhere with Mark Ruffalo.
He's so funny.
I feel like he could keep you really calm.
And also he's the person I just...
I haven't gotten to see him a lot
relative to other people in the MCU,
so I could deal with some elevator time.
I might like get an elevator stuck on purpose
so I can hang out with Mark Ruffalo for the afternoon.
Does this work on puppies?
This works on kids.
I definitely try to perform everything, you know,
to various degrees of success.
They don't like to let you like smash on things.
And I have an amazing stunt double named Tara Macken
and we love to work together,
we work together on everything.
You know what was the most fun, Christian Bale, doing that.
It reminded me actually of when I had a fight scene
with Cate Blanchett because you're so...
I'm so excited to work opposite those actors.
And then you're so nervous cause you're like
just don't hit them, don't hit them, don't hit them.
After every take, Christian would be like,
"Are you all right?"
And he was playing like such a scary bad guy,
and then he was like, so considerate.
It was really cute.
This is my favorite part.
Oh you're cute.
God, you're cute.
My favorite part is how much we get to improv.
How silly it is to make the movies.
Feels like a lot of play.
And I love working with Chris so much.
I think, I mean, I always knew this about Natalie
because we're friends and have gotten to
hang so much socially and work together on other things.
She's so funny.
But it was, I think, learning the extent of that
while making "Thor: Love and Thunder"
was really fun and I think will surprise audiences.
And then Christian, I didn't know what to expect.
I had never met him, but he's so nice.
He's like so sweet and also very, very funny,
which I think might...
That might surprise fans.
Colman Domingo or Niecy Nash.
She's really good at FaceTiming.
She'll answer a FaceTime.
Actually Colman Domingo is the one that told me
Niecy Nash will always answer a FaceTime
and then we did it and she did.
"Cheers."
I would've loved to guest star on "Cheers".
Or "The Golden Girls".
That would be so cool.
Shows now, maybe "Succession".
That would be fun.
The thing I was so interested in is that
he would be so like in character
and then he could shift so easily into directing,
and he did this really cool thing where
instead of saying cut when he'd be in the scene,
you would just see him really subtly do this.
And that was really cool.
Oh.
The wildest rumor I've ever heard about myself.
I think everyone knows.
That was a rumor and definitely not true.
I didn't get to really welcome Jonathan too much
cause he was mostly doing fight stuff.
But I think, no, I think a lot of like male hugging
which I just like to watch.
I would like to see, actually, I once voiced a dog
with Justin Theroux and he was my puppy mate.
And so I'd like to see him do a puppy interview.
Thanks BuzzFeed for giving me my new puppy.
I'm never leaving her.
And make sure to watch the "Westworld" show on HBO.
And these puppies are adoptable
at North Shore Animal League America.
