Speaker 2: But hang on a minute. Didn't it take was it

17
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 2: two weeks to film that scene?

18
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 4: At least the.

19
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: Whole sequence, you know, the exterior and the interior. Sure,

20
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: I can't remember how many days we were inside doing

21
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: the dancing sort of section, but it.

22
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 4: Felt like one year.

23
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it felt like it was a lifetime and also

24
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: like a distant easy memory.

25
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 3: How did you go with the nudity, Diego, because it

26
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 3: was everywhere, like I mean everywhere that you looked there

27
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:00,639
Speaker 3: was genital in front of.

28
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 4: You, well believer or not.

29
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 5: Like after the third day you kind of get used

30
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 5: to it, like kind of us normal at all, sort.

31
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 2: Of diluted the impact of the nudity because it's quite.

32
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: Honestly, you get desensitized so far.

33
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's we were working with pros.

34
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 5: You know. All the backgroundaries were like literally pros because.

35
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 2: When you've got a period pace as well. I've heard

36
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 2: that a lot of the time it's actually quite hard

37
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 2: to find women with real breasts and pure big hair.

38
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 4: For a lot of the they have.

39
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Things called mercans, which is like a wig but for genitator, yes,

40
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: kind so you can put what I remember for Wall Street,

41
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: there was an entire Amercan room. There was a whole

42
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: room full of mercants. So you would go up and

43
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: I guess people would go in and pick out.

44
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:49,400
Speaker 4: Did you know any of them?

45
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 5: I am.

46
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into detail, but it was

47
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: fascinating and a little known fact about the filmmaking industry.

48
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 4: Yes, mercans actually in the row. Congratulations Margo. Amazing in

49
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: this movie.

50
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: But I feel that there is a little bit of

51
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 3: cavalier of Gold Coast girl in that character?

52
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 4: Do you bring that from where you grew up? Is

53
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 4: there a little bit of that in Nellie?

54
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: Do you know what?

55
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I didn't think so, but all my girlfriends from the

56
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 1: Goldie came and saw the movie last night and they

57
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: were like, oh, it's you. It's just these are all

58
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,679
Speaker 1: things you would do. I was like, guys, that's not

59
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: nice a professional and nothing like Nellie.

78
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: Is that right?

79
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: I think the word honey badger came up. We've moved

80
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 2: on from the Americans came on, came up at channeling

81
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 2: a different animals for different scenes. Do you do anything

82
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:13,959
Speaker 2: like this?

83
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 4: Do you know? Not with money? I mean no, actually no,

84
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: you've never thought about that.

85
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, with other characters, having a peopball for example for

86
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 5: a character people too.

87
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, we both have a people Tanya.

88
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 4: Cool? Yeah, So is that an old acting tip? Like

89
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: when you started something you do in drama school? Did

90
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 4: you go to drama school?

91
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: You went to film school, but not drama school. I

92
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: didn't go to drama school. Maybe it's something you learned

93
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: drama school. But I'm going to fix it's a technique.

94
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 4: So how were you discovered then diego in acting? How

95
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: how did you start and how were you discovered?

96
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 5: Well? I was working as a boom operator in a

97
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 5: short film and the actor didn't show up, and the

98
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 5: director asked me, like you used to be it?

99
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: No, no, no, really, this is an amazing is literally manny?

100
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: Can you please tell everyone out there how you first

101
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: met Brad Pitt on set?

102
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I was in Mexico City and them and asked

103
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: me to fly to Los Angeles to meet him, to

104
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 5: meet Brad and a lot of people of the Crow

105
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 5: because they were working on a commercial. And when I arrived,

106
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: the men told me like, no, I'm not going to

107
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 5: introduce you. You're going to work as as my assistant

108
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 5: and a production assistant. So I worked one day giving

109
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 5: like okay, colla to Brad Pitt or whatever, and the

110
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 5: second day like somebody said like, hey, Brad, have you

111
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 5: met Diego? And I think it was a cool way

112
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 5: to meet Brad Pitt, because it's shocking celebrities unless they're

113
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 5: shocked to meet you.

114
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: From character good Mite and now movie stars.

115
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 3: You're traveling around the world and Margot was at your

116
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: first vomit sagne ever in a movie or I think

117
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: it was actually and well done.

118
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 4: Long wile from Avenues.

119
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a fast stretch from the This is.

120
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 2: Once again back to your friends going well, Margant, just

121
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: like yourself, didn't you We've seen.

122
00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 4: That before you project.

123
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 3: I mean, it would have been very time consuming because

124
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: some of those scenes, I mean out in the desert

125
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 3: there and we're just so many actors involved.

126
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: Were they long days? Was it? Was it a really

127
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 4: long time to film this movie.

128
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't as long as you would expect a movie

129
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: of this size to be considering how huge this. I mean,

130
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: when people go to see Babylon in the cinema, hopefully

131
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 1: in the cinema, you will be shocked at how much moved,

132
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Like how much bang for your buck you're getting for

133
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 1: one movie ticket, You're getting a lot of movie and

134
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: it's just wild and it's coming at you all the time.

135
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: So for a film this epic, we actually showed it

136
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, and maybe it was like a seventy day schedule.

137
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: Maybe it was more seventy maybe more like forty four

138
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: months or something like that. But like some movies, like

139
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: if you do a comic book film, that's minimum six months.

140
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: So actually for this size it was it was I mean,

141
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: we were moving at a pretty quick pace. We were

142
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: racing all the time and getting.

143
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 4: A lot dotte literally every day, is that right?

144
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 1: Every day on set and like it's like me, it's

145
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: like yeah, it's like being in the circus. You're like

146
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: you unpack everything, shoot somewhere for three days, pack everything up,

147
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: get on the road again, go somewhere else, shoot like crazy, and.

148
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 3: Just please tell us with the parties that you had

149
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 3: in the movie, please tell us that there was a

150
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 3: rap was there.

151
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Do you were talking about this?

152
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 4: We did, Brad come to the Rap Party. I think

153
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 4: the movie was like a whole, like a four a

154
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 4: month parties.

155
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 1: Yes, the first movie I've ever done where everyone didn't

156
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 1: need a wrap partner. Everyone was just like I am.

157
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

158
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: And I think it was still a little bit COVID time,

159
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: so like it's like the studio's reason to be like

160
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: no rap party.
