- It's nice to see you again.
- It's nice to see you too.
- I hear that you were just in Mexico.
Were you on vacation? - I was, yeah.
- How was it? I love Mexico.
- Oh, it was lovely.
It was really nice. - Yeah?
I'd only ever been there once before and I don't know why,
because it's just amazing.
- [Kelly] There's so many beautiful places.
- Yeah, I went with a girlfriend.
I needed some time.
- [Kelly] Okay, so this is a real vacation?
Without kids? - Yeah, a real vacation.
- Like away from the kids.
Just take a minute, six days- - Yes, yeah.
- Laying by the pool, hanging out,
chilling with a girlfriend, having a drink,
going dancing that kind of thing.
- Going to dinner without having to worry
what they're not going to eat when I order it.
Yep- - Yes.
- [Kelly] Oh my God, how old are your kids again?
- Nine and almost four.
- Okay, so mine are five and seven
and it is like, torture getting them to eat,
and then when people go,
"Oh, you're on, you had time off?" and I'm like,
"No, 'cause I'm a mom."
It's so important that you take those vacations though.
I had like, eight days solidly by myself without my kids
And it was beautiful- - Where were you?
- Because, I was actually in Carmel with my family
and they were with their dad and it was just,
I don't think we do that enough,
As like parents- - No.
- You know, take time.
- No, I was saying that to my girlfriend.
I was like, I don't know why I haven't done this sooner.
I don't know why- - Yeah 'cause guilt.
More time, yeah. - Mom guilt.
- Yeah guilt.
- I know, it gets you every time.
I've read so many books. - Kids were fine.
- They had a blast with dad.
- Yeah, I know mine did too.
They were having so much, yeah anyway.
So, you said your boys are nine and almost four, right?
- Almost four, just about to be.
- Yeah, that's awesome.
So, what are they each into right now?
- Caspian, the nine-year-old is very sporty.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- So, he's into soccer right now
and yeah just, he's very physical.
We have a trampoline and he's teaching himself flips
and all those kinds of things.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- And that's fun and then Raynor right now,
well his birthday party is coming up
and he wants a mermaid birthday party.
- Oh my gosh, that's awesome.
- Yeah, he's obsessed with mermaids.
So, I've got to get on top of that.
- So, my son's five and he's obsessed with Aqua Man
and Little Mermaid.
- [Neve] Oh, there you go.
- Yeah, he just doesn't understand
why we can't live in the ocean.
And I'm like, well- - Right, exactly.
- 'cause we don't have gills.
So, we would die.
Your youngest Raynor is adopted.
So, have you- - He is.
- I have friends that are adopted,
did you tell him when he was young or did you,
are you going to later or?
- No, from the beginning.
From the beginning- - Oh, that's-
I read, - I think that's smart.
- I read a lot about it.
and I think back in the day we used to think,
keep it from them and throw it at them
At 21- - What a shock.
- So, their entire reality falls apart,
which makes so much sense.
No, so really the guidance that I had
was even before they understand language,
talk about their birth mother,
talk about their story,
Tell them who they are- - Yeah.
- And because of that, it's no surprise for Raynor
in any sense whatsoever.
He knows like, he was in Cynthia's tummy.
She made him, she and she, you know what?
I actually had her, before he was born,
I asked her if she would share some photos or something,
or even just a letter
and she actually made an entire album for him,
of photos of herself and things about her life
and things that she likes, like,
"I like donuts, do you like donuts?
I like costumes, do you like costumes?"
And we looked through this book and he goes,
"Mommy, I love costumes, mommy, I love this."
Yeah, it's very sweet. - That's so cool.
- So, he feels this relationship to her and yeah,
and I think it's really important
'cause they're gonna need that.
You know? - Yeah-
- And what an important thing to know
that you're so loved in all aspects,
You know, from the beginning. - By everybody, by everybody.
- Oh, I think that's really cool and smart.
I never understood the whole
spring it on them when they're 16.
- It makes no sense.
- Yeah, geez.
- The start of puberty's already happening.
It's like it's a lot.
What's up y'all?
We don't have an in-studio audience today,
but I'm happy to say we've got Neve Campbell,
(people clapping)
and now let's go look at her new movie Scream.
It's the fifth in the Scream franchise.
That's crazy, I was saying that while we were watching,
I was like,
This is such a huge franchise. - 25 years.
- Yeah.
- Like, what's new with Sidney though, in this Scream movie?
What she doing?
- She's a mom now, which I think gives her
a whole other level of ferociousness.
She's content in her life.
She's living away and then of course, chaos ensues
and she's brought back to Woodsboro.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- You know, it's Scream, so,
Something has to happen. - I know-
- People and a well.
Do you like being scared?
Are you one of those people?
- [Neve] No.
No, I don't. - I don't either.
- [Kelly] I hate it.
- I really hate it.
- I know, my ex used to think it was so funny to jump out
and scare me, like, it's not funny
because I lose my voice 'cause I screamed so loud,
like I almost pee my pants.
I just don't like to be jumped out at.
- Yeah, I'm not great with it either.
- I know, but like we said,
you've been playing Sidney
For 25 years- - Yeah.
Who would've thought you'd been playing
the same character for like 25 years, it's insane.
But even before that you were already really famous.
So was it hard?
'Cause you were really young.
I was like 19, whenever I started and that was hard,
just realizing you can't take it back.
Like you're in the public eye- - You can't.
and you can't take it back.
That was hard, was it hard for you?
- It's hard enough being in your, being young and being,
and also being in your early 20's.
Life is just hard at that time to figure out
and navigate human beings and then you add fame,
I'm sure, you know, add fame on top of that,
and it's just a whole other level that it takes a minute
to figure out.
- Yeah.
- And yeah,
It took quite a minute. - Especially-
- If you weren't like a popular kid in high school.
You know what I'm saying? - Which I was not.
- Me neither, so I never experienced that.
So, it was just like overnight
and I just wondered if that was like really,
I heard you moved, did you move to like,
London? - I did-
- You know, I took a minute.
I, the fame got to such a height in my twenties,
that I just, I was not feeling satisfied in my life
and I was needing a different energy and I did,
I went, I moved to London.
- [Kelly] I love London.
- I Lived there for seven or eight years.
Yeah, I love London too- - Yeah.
- And just stepped outside of it
and what was nice for me there is people didn't know me.
- [Kelly] Oh, that's awesome.
- That was really nice
and then I just spent a lot of time
immersing myself in theater and seeing theater
and meeting writers and directors
and watching other actors,
and also traveling and going to other countries,
which from London, I mean,
you can go to Spain for the weekend, you know.
- [Kelly] Yeah, everything is so quick, yeah.
- Just surrounding yourself with other cultures
and it was great for me.
- [Kelly] Yeah.
- It was really great for me and when I came back,
it was interesting.
I went from, you know, the young, ingenue thing
to like a grown woman in my roles, like, I got Mad Men.
I did a thing, a stint on Mad Men after we had Caspian
and then House of Cards came along,
and it was just a really nice transition for me.
So, I'm really glad.
I took that time for myself. - I love that-
- It's so important and people always,
I think it's funny 'cause there always like,
"Oh, you're famous it's so hard" and it's like,
it's not about people reckon, I like people,
I like saying hi to people.
I don't mind people recognizing me.
It's about the fact that you lose the option
of being an observer.
- [Neve] Yes, absolutely.
- You lose the option of just observing like,
and it's kind of weird.
- And there's no one there to teach you how to be famous.
You know what I mean? - No-
- Especially when no one in your,
you didn't come from that, yeah.
Well, I heard that you were attacked by a bear once,
Which I find fascinating- - Yes.
- So, you're a survivor.
So, what was that like?
Was it in Canada?
- It was in Canada but it's not like I was,
it was not when we were camping or anything.
It was actually on a movie.
I was- - What?
- Yeah, I was 17 years old and I was yeah,
playing this role where she's one with the animals and,
- [Kelly] (laughing) That's ironic.
- And there was a scene where I'm supposed to be
getting chased by a bear.
The only animal, I'm not one within the movie,
and they just, they brought this bear on set
and they said, you know, dip your hand in hot,
no, they first gave me a big bottle of Coke to feed it
and I thought,
Yeah, Coca-Cola. - Coca-Cola?
So, now this is like a bear on a sugar rush
and then they said, and I'm 17,
so I'm really dumb and they give me, they say,
dip your hand in honey and just run
and when you get to the tree over there,
turn around and stick your hand out and feed the bear,
and I of course wanting to please everyone, was like, okay.
- Well and you are thinking, obviously,
I'm in a safe environment, someone has done this before me.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah,
and I dipped my hand in honey and I run to this rock
or this tree they tell me to go to
and I turn around and I put my hand out
and the bear is not slowing down
and he's not coming for my hand.
and he grabs me by the leg
and he's pulls me through the forest
and my mother happens to be visiting set.
So, she's screaming, the whole crew's frozen
because no one can believe what's happening,
and it's, all I could think to say was he's biting me,
like it wasn't obvious.
- (laughing) Just if it's not clear.
- Just in case nobody knows, he's biting me.
Pulls me through the forest- - Oh my God.
- And then finally the bear wrangler
starts just throwing rocks at the bear to get it off me
and it finally gets pissed off
and turns around and goes after him
and I run, I go up a rock.
So that's my story. - Please tell me-
- Right after that, they were like, okay, well,
okay, the next take, we won't.
I'm just kidding. - Well, they did-
- No they did, they said, they were like,
we're not doing it again,
and I was like, again this people pleaser,
I was like, no, that was rehearsal,
we didn't get it on camera let's do it.
- Oh my God, actors are so different from musicians.
Like, I can't express this enough.
I like literally, if I was in a music video
and some, like that went down,
I couldn't say that word on daytime,
I would be like, bye, like.
- So would I now.
- Get some CGI, get my stunt double in, I'm like what?
Actors I always find funny,
y'all, these insane things
Happen to you all. - I know, so silly-
- But we get asked to do really silly things as well.
I'm old, I'm older now, I'm like,
I'm old now actually. - Yeah, I know-
- No, I'm old too and I'm like,
I learned that word no real well.
- Oh, for sure, for sure, like, no, absolutely not.
I'm not doing that. - Oh, that's crazy-
- And your mom, that nightmare from hell.
- Yeah, it was bad.
