-Thank you for being here in person.
The last time you were very nice to us and you zoomed.
-I zoomed from my apartment, and I was wearing sweatpants.
-Oh, yeah, but I didn't know. -Below.
-I was wearing a Chanel jacket, but, you know,
underneath it was a sad situation.
-Yeah. Are you still living in London?
Or are you back living in New York?
-I was living in London, then I moved home
back with my parents up until about a week ago.
-No. -And now I live here --
-Uh-huh. -For a month, and then I go
to wherever -- -To other movies and things.
-Yes. Yes, yes.
-So you really don't really have a home.
-I don't have a home. -No.
You're just traveling and just being everywhere.
And right now, I don't have a job either.
So I'm --
-[Laughing] Oh, my gosh. -I'm looking for something.
-Wow. You were telling me backstage
you have a new obsession.
What is this?
-Formula 1.
[ Cheers and applause ]
I don't know if it's, like, a big thing here yet.
But In Europe, it's -- -Massive.
-It's massive.
-No, in America, it is big.
But I don't know in New York if it's that big.
-Well -- -Is it?
-Yeah, New York, I don't know.
-I don't know if it -- -Yeah, New Yorkers,
we take our time.
We go, "Well, we're not sure."
-Well, I'm going to make you all get into it.
-Okay. Tell us. School us.
So, there's this show on Netflix called "Drive to Survive."
During the pandemic I didn't really do anything, obviously,
like everyone else. -Yeah.
-But I watched this show, and now --
-"Drive to Survive"? -"Drive to Survive," on Netflix.
It follows all the drivers, the Formula 1 drivers.
I never cared about sports before, by the way.
And now, I'm completely hooked.
They're all gorgeous.
-Yeah. -It's like --
it's like a boy band kind of thing.
You follow their lives.
Also, one of the team principals, the boss
of Red Bull, is married to Geri Horner,
who's a Spice Girl.
-Oh, yeah, Geri. -So, that's --
There's something for everyone.
-Yeah.
-And it's really fun.
And so -- actually, Brad Pitt is making a Formula 1 movie.
[ Cheers ]
-Yeah.
-And I have the same manager as Brad Pitt.
Flex.
-Okay, now we're -- now we're getting somewhere.
-So, I was at dinner with my manager, and I was obviously
talking about it.
And she was like, "Oh, he's making a movie about it."
And I was like, "Get Brad Pitt on the phone right now."
[ Laughter ]
And she called him.
-She did?
-And I said, "I will do anything in this movie.
I will have one line, I will be in the pit crew,
I will do whatever you want." -Yeah.
-But I've got to be in this film.
-And -- And I am obsessed with Formula 1, yeah.
-Obsessed. And he said, "I'm such a fan.
I watched 'Behind Her Eyes' twice.
You're in it, kid."
-What?!
[ Cheers and applause ]
That's how you -- that's how you make stuff happen.
-Yeah. -Wow!
Do we know where and how you're in it?
-I have no clue. -No.
-I have no clue.
But I feel like we had a verbal agreement over the phone,
and if you say it on national television, it's legally binded.
-It's legal. Yes, that is correct.
We have lawyers here that will say that it is legal.
Yeah. -So, that's fine.
So, if I'm not in that movie, give him hell the next time --
-[ Laughs ] Yeah.
All right, I'm going to be into both of those things.
I want to talk about "Bad Sisters,"
which I'm totally into, by the way.
-Yay. -It's great, it's fantastic,
it's a good plot. I love the whole idea of it.
You shot it in Ireland. -Mm-hm.
-You scared me when you jumped off that cliff, by the way.
-I know. I scared everyone when I did that.
-Yeah. You don't have to do that stuff.
-I know. That's what the stunt people told me,
but I was preparing to jump into the water and my friend who does
it everyday -- it's kind of an Irish thing, that we jump into
Irish Sea and --
It's to get over your hangover, basically.
-Oh, there you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Now I know what you're talking about.
Yeah, yeah.
And when we got to actually shoot the scene,
they just asked me to jump off the steps.
And I was like, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, I've been scaring the...
out of myself every weekend to do this."
So, I asked them if I could jump off the cliff.
-Yeah. -Yeah, in Dublin.
And here you go. Look at this.
Rebel without a cause, right there.
Just jumping off.
Scaring everyone. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-But that's you putting your all into --
-I know, I was like "We're making a TV show."
-That's the type of stuff that they need in
that Formula 1 movie with Brad Pitt.
You'll be jumping off stuff. Yeah, exactly.
-I don't know if they jump in Formula 1,
but I'll make it happen.
-This driver does.
You jump into your car. -[ Laughs ]
-But, can we explain what "Bad Sisters," the plot of this?
And congrats on the great reviews, by the way.
Well-deserved.
-I think one of the reviews said,
"It's the Avengers assembles of Irish talent."
-Yeah! That's exact-- not too shabby, right there.
-I was like, "Oh, I like that." -Yeah, I love it.
I like that it starts off -- Well, you explain it
and then I'll tell you what I like about it.
-Okay. So it's about five Irish sisters
who hate one of their sisters' husbands.
-And he's the worst. -Because he is the worst.
-He is the worst. -He is a terrible,
despicable human being. -Yes.
-And so, they decide to kill him.
[ Laughter ]
And they have absolutely no business being murderers.
They're terrible at it.
[ Laughter ]
And there is all these awful failed attempts.
And you know he's dead from the first episode.
-That's what I was going to say. I like that.
'Cause you don't have to go, "Oh, are they going --"
He's dead. -He's dead.
-Someone killed him. -It opens with his funeral.
And then -- but you just don't know who did it.
-It's well done. I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's Eve Hewson in "Bad Sisters."
Take a look at this.
-I want in.
I want to help.
-No.
No way. -You're pushing me out, Eva.
You're not being my mom, or my sister, or my friend.
-Yeah, well fine if I'm not being any of those things,
but I'm not going to stop protecting you --
-You're not protecting me! -Because that is my job.
-You're isolating me. -I don't even know why
I'm having to --
What we're doing is really, really bad.
-No, it's not.
It's survival.
Someone's not coming out the other side of this.
And it's not going to be me.
And it sure as [bleep] is not going to be one of my sisters.
-Yeah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
"Bad Sisters" assemble! -[ Laughs ]
Eve Hewson, everybody.
"Bad Sisters" premieres this Friday on Apple TV plus.
