So what 65 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: was it about this film, this story, these characters that 66 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: made you both say I gotta do it, like I 67 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: am all in? 68 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've always been drawn to characters like here, 69 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 4: characters that are super passionate and ambitious and have that drive, 70 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 4: and you know, I really loved that about her, and 71 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: I loved her journey that she kind of finds clarity 72 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: within her frustration and opens her heart and opens herself 73 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: to a journey of self discovery and taking a chance 74 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: and a risk. And I loved that it was a 75 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 4: you know, the love trope was a second chance. I 76 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 4: don't think I've really seen that before, So that's what 77 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: really drew me to it. And the fact that it was, 78 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 4: you know, a rom com about a London girl and 79 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 4: had all these incredible characters surrounding, and that it was 80 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 4: focused on a salv Asian family. 81 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: I love that, and what about you here h a 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 3: number of things, but it started with just reading the 83 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 3: script and laughing out loud and just seeing that this 84 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: was just it was just funny and it had a 85 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 3: lot of heart and soul as well. But yeah, I 86 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: think I think the main thing that drew me to 87 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 3: it was just the comedy. I've been lucky to play 88 00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: a role in a few romances before, and I realized 89 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 3: when reading this, how I haven't dabbled in the comm 90 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 3: side of rom comms. 91 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 2: I've done romantic dramas and stuff. 92 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 3: But yeah, so that was the initial thing, and then 93 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 3: knowing how great Simon is and the team that they 94 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,720 Speaker 3: were building around, all the cast and the creative team, 95 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: and then specifically looking at my character, I loved how grounded, 96 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 3: down to earth, self assured, dependable he was. I feel 97 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 3: like they're really that they're traits that are really admirable 98 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 3: in real life. And I feel like sometimes it's easy 99 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 3: to make a love interest on screen feel like they 100 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: need to be decorated, performative, the center of attention, a 101 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: bit of a showman, but I think in reality. I 102 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 3: loved how Charlie was represented to be closer to reality 103 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 3: and just being a nice guy, a chill, nice guy 104 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 3: who's down to earth and you can rely on him. 105 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,800 Speaker 1: M Yeah. I think it's really relatable too. I like 106 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: the balance between Simone's character being a little bit of 107 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: a a hot mess, right and here your character being 108 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: this kind of stable force that enters her life, you know, just. 109 00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 3: Like I'd agree that the characters are so well written 110 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 3: in how they balance each other out. 111 00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's real life, and I feel like sometimes 112 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 1: that's missing, at least I see that sometimes missing from realm. 113 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 1: Comms and it's kind of like, well, I don't know 114 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: if that. Like, people don't always have their shit together 115 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: all the time, so I like that there's that balance, 116 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Like in my relationship too, I feel that. So I 117 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,040 Speaker 1: think it's cool to see that reflected on screen and 118 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: the chemistry is there. I mean, that will make or 119 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: break a rom com, and it's very evident you guys 120 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 1: have a st friendship and a foundation because you do 121 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: have such great on screen chemistry. In fact, I'm actually 122 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: seeing your ship name going around right now is Chia. 123 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: Have you heard that? 124 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 2: M I love that? 125 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, right, you're here for your PREW. 126 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 2: I am here for it.

So 129 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: people are already giving you the ship names and they're 130 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 1: they're very into it. I assume, I guess based off 131 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 1: the trailer. You know that the fans have seen because 132 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 1: the movie's out now officially, so that's really cool.

My best friend's wedding, Nothing Hill, and I 139 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 4: would say there was a lot of influence from the 140 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 4: World of Benderlei Beckham and Bridget Jones For this, I. 141 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 3: Feel like, I I'm not in a rush to sit 142 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 3: down and watch a rom com, but I feel like, 143 00:06:58,400 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 3: and I could probably speak for a lot of guys 144 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: when I say this, I think we like them more 145 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 3: than we like to admit. It's the kind of thing 146 00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 3: that when someone else put it on and they're watching, 147 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: you sink into the sofa and you yeah, you're very invested. 148 00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean like, there's loads of rom comms 149 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: that I've loved growing up and probably overlook it a lot. 150 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: When I talk about what kind of films I like, 151 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 3: Ten Things I Hate about You's up there for me 152 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 3: and fifty First Dates, I feel like I watched that 153 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 3: film so many times as. 154 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: A kid, and yeah, another cheeky little rom com. 155 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 1: Secretly, yeah, and they're making a comeback too.

Yeah, I do feel like that transition. 165 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 3: Maybe I'm speculating here, but maybe might have been like 166 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: people wanted romances, but we've taken, for whatever reason, romance 167 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 3: to maybe like a darker place and explored the less 168 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 3: comical side of it. And maybe that's just the natural 169 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: ebb and flow of how things go and what audiences want. 170 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: But yeah, I feel very lucky to have explored the 171 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: roles that are like dramatic romances because they're so so 172 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 3: you know, fun and entertaining too. 173 00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, it felt really nice to come back out 174 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: and be a part of them lean into the comedy. 175 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah. And great characters and great character backgrounds 176 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: make for a great realm come in my opinion. So 177 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 1: for your characters, if you had to write their dating profile, 178 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: what would you say? 179 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: I would say, you know, I don't know if Pierre 180 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,199 Speaker 4: would have one, just because she's so chaotic and clumsy. 181 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 2: I don't even know if I feel like JA would 182 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 2: make one for her. J would make one for her, 183 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 2: you know, and he'll probably slip in something really embarrassing. 184 00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 4: In the exactly and something really honest. She's just so 185 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 4: caught up in her head. But I think she had 186 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 4: to have her family kind of push her out there 187 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: to go on these dates. 188 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: So yeah, sometimes you need to push. 189 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: Yeah. 190 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 3: I feel like Charlie probably would shy away from having 191 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,920 Speaker 3: one as well, But if he did, there'd be something 192 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,439 Speaker 3: in the bio about him showing off what he can 193 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 3: cook reckon. A lot of his pictures would probably be 194 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: like annoyingly hard to see what he looks like in 195 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 3: and loads of pictures of food. I don't think he's 196 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 3: the most dating savvy person, so he'd have one of 197 00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: those ones. 198 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 2: You've got to really read between the lines. 199 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: Of the choices. I could see that. I could see that. 200 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 1: Have you guys been subjected to what I think is 201 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: the horror of a blind date? Because obviously blind dates 202 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: are a big theme in this movie. I think a 203 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: lot of people can relate to it. I have my 204 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,840 Speaker 1: opinion on them. What are your thoughts. 205 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 4: I've never been on a blind date, and I think 206 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,079 Speaker 4: I'm quite against the idea for me personally. 207 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,560 Speaker 3: I think I have never been on one. But I 208 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 3: think I'm quite quite with it. I feel like the 209 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 3: idea of like getting out your comfort zone makes your 210 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 3: comfort zone bigger and it would be really scary. But 211 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 3: you know, you don't get to see what's on the 212 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 3: other side of that risk. That could be the love 213 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: of your life. You know, you can't turn down the 214 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: opportunity if you're in it. You're in the market and 215 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 3: someone says, you know, I don't know, but it could 216 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 3: go one in two ways, couldn't I want to hear 217 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 3: your opinion. 218 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: Oh, well my opinion. So I'm going to be married 219 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: almost nine years in April. But in my single day, 220 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. In my single days, as a 221 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: gay man, I feel like when friends wanted to set 222 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: me up, it wouldn't it be based on anybody's characteristics 223 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 1: or qualities. It's just like, oh, there's two gay dudes. 224 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: I knew, so, no, so you two should go on 225 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 1: a date. And it's like, no, that's not how it works. No, 226 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't. 227 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 3: If you get there and within one or two minutes, 228 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 3: you know it's not It's not for you. 229 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it for it. 230 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, there's been there's been a few bad ones, but 231 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: it's all part of the story which makes life exciting. 232 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: So hey, I don't regret anything, but yeah, it's it's 233 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: I love that that's a component of this film because, 234 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: like I said, it's it's very common and people are 235 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: very divided on that that concept. So I think it 236 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: brings it to the forefront in a way where I 237 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: believe when many people do you want to meet as 238 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,559 Speaker 1: partner or spouse or whoever it may be, it's like, well, 239 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: should I be open to it now or shouldn't I. 240 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 1: So that's a whole other conversation that comes from this film, 241 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: which I think is kind of cool, you know. 242 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, I think it's easier when you've you've heard 243 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:26,320 Speaker 3: the prophecy of knowing that you will find the one 244 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 3: on these five days. I think it'll be easier to 245 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 3: go on five blind days if you knew one of 246 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 3: them would be the one for you, because a bottomless 247 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: list of blind. 248 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: Days it's pretty terrifying. 249 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, if you know one of them is going 250 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 3: to be the true love, then make it easier. 251 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: But how in the world would you know that well that. 252 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: Her fortune, the fortune says that she's going to find 253 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 3: the one on one of these five days, and I 254 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 3: think that would make it a little bit more bearable. 255 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, true, true, If only real life could be like that, 256 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,520 Speaker 1: we would all be in a good point. But I 257 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: do I love that. There's so many parts of this 258 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: movie that I think are just fine and genius and 259 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: heartwarming and all of the things. Was there a scene 260 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 1: for the two of you that you were a bit 261 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: more terrified to do in this romantic comedy? 262 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,480 Speaker 3: Yes, I think singing and dancing at the top of 263 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 3: my acting cv and there was a scene where we 264 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 3: had to burst out into song. But for whatever reason, 265 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: that scene didn't make the final cut, which is very 266 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 3: happy about. But Charlie wasn't supposed to be a great 267 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: singer either, so I think I was deliberately bang on 268 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: the mark with my probably quite lackluster ability. 269 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: No, I agree, we were. 270 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 4: We were both terrified. We had fun doing it, but 271 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 4: it got cut and maybe for a good reason. 272 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, even the dancing scenes that there's that there's a 273 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 3: couple of one great one at the end, and I'm 274 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 3: so like I watch it and I think it's it's 275 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 3: so fun and everyone everyone's great. But as I say, 276 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: I don't I don't spring out of bed on the 277 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 3: days where the. 278 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 2: Cool sheet says we're doing the dance the dancing scenes. 279 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: Well, now you know everybody's going to want to see it, 280 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 1: so you better be releasing that deleted team. 281 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 2: I haven't seen it myself, so should at least flee 282 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 2: the bleepers? 283 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, well someone for you? You sing? I mean, so 284 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 1: that was even terrifying for you? 285 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't. It was more that they were screaming 286 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 4: out loud. It was bad singing, which is kind of Yeah, 287 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: that was even like hard, it's just. 288 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:21,080 Speaker 2: Going you know what. 289 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: It is? 290 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 3: Also like, I feel like, even if you're it's an element. 291 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,559 Speaker 3: You're performing and we're in a really quiet studio, and 292 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 3: if you were doing the scene, you know, for real, 293 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 3: you'd blast the bat and you'd be singing along to it, 294 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:33,960 Speaker 3: which is a bit easier, but for the purpose of filming, 295 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 3: to get the sound, we had little ear pieces playing 296 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 3: the music very quietly, and we just had to belt 297 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: at the top of our voices in a packed room 298 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 3: of dead silence. 299 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,520 Speaker 1: Let me tell you the job you guys do leads 300 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,680 Speaker 1: a little room to be self conscious in the real world. 301 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 1: I feel like you're probably some of the most confident 302 00:13:49,320 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: people after going through things like that. Hero, Let's let's 303 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: start with you with this one. You've played romantic leads, right, 304 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 1: and you've played some darker characters. So for you, is 305 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: there one that's more fun that you like to sink 306 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: your teeth into or it's just different. 307 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: No, I'm really trying to be super honest here, and 308 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 3: I genuinely feel like the grass is always greener. If 309 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 3: I could do one then the other, one then the other, 310 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 3: That's how I'd want to do it, because there's a 311 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: lot to explore with the darkness of some of the 312 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 3: characters I played before. But there's something really just fun 313 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 3: about the lighthearted nature of a comedy and leaning more 314 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 3: into that side of things. So I think the grass 315 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 3: is always greener, and they're both really fun in different ways. 316 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: I don't really have a preference. 317 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: And one's not more challenging than the other. 318 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 2: No, I think they're challenging in different ways. 319 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 3: I mean, you need to get the emotion right when 320 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 3: you're trying to explore like the darker side of things 321 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 3: and the drama, but you need to you need to 322 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 3: be funny, and both of them need be believable. But yeah, 323 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 3: I don't think anyone's any any more challenging. I think 324 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 3: I would say when you're making a comedy, it doesn't 325 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 3: really take its toll on you as much when you 326 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,920 Speaker 3: do a long shoot and you're playing any kind of character. 327 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,400 Speaker 3: That there's something about doing a comedy that just allows 328 00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 3: you to have fun. And I feel like when you're 329 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 3: having fun between takes and at the end of the day, 330 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: keeping yourself in that good mood, that's what kind of 331 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,520 Speaker 3: feeds into more more comedy and comedic ideas on screen. 332 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 3: So there's something nice about that. But now I don't 333 00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 3: have a preference. They both come with different challenges and 334 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 3: I like doing a bit of both. 335 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you have to be so on the zone 336 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: for anything that you guys are doing right and super 337 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: focused in the moment. So I guess whether the genre 338 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: is one thing or another, it's kind of the same 339 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 1: in that aspect. Simona, I think I just heard the director. 340 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: I believe it was the director, and maybe I'm wrong here, 341 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: but did you get stung by a bee during a 342 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 1: scene and you just kept going when you were making 343 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: this movie? 344 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? 345 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,920 Speaker 4: It was doing the yoga sinet stung by a bee 346 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 4: and we cut for like five minutes and we just 347 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 4: kept going. 348 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you were like, no big deal, rip out 349 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: the stinger. Here we go. 350 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 2: Kind of but it was painful. 351 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, more painful than I. 352 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 2: Thought it could be. 353 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: Oh my god. And that's well, that just shows that you're, again, 354 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: like so committed in the moment. You just wanted to 355 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: keep going. You didn't need an hour break. I think 356 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: that's pretty funny. It made me smile, and I didn't 357 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: want to. 358 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 4: I didn't want to stop filming just for a bee staying. 359 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: I was kind of embarrassed by him, so I was like, 360 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: let's just keep going. I must confess. 361 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: I hired that bee, and yes, someone was stealing the scene. 362 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 3: Abody bought me five minutes. 363 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there you go.

That scene Simon in season two of 367 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 1: Bridgerton with you and Jonathan Bailey and the bee is 368 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 1: described by many people, including my husband, as one of 369 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: the hottest things that they've ever seen on television. Do 370 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: you get that a lot. 371 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,360 Speaker 4: I think we have got that comment for a lot 372 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 4: of scenes in that series, in that season, specifically that scene. 373 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 4: This is the first I'm hearing it specifically that scene. 374 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 4: But I'm I'm glad, I'm glad it rocked your boat. 375 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: It rocked a lot of people's busts because you know what, 376 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,159 Speaker 1: and this is a testament to the work that you 377 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: guys do. I even saw this in this movie. It's 378 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 1: like the subtlety and the choices you make sometimes speak 379 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: so much more loudly than doing these like super outwardly 380 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: motions and you know, ways of expressing yourself. And I 381 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: think in that scene specifically, it was so subtle and 382 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: so kind of calm and gentle and quiet. At least 383 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 1: that's how it was when we watched. Did you feel 384 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,000 Speaker 1: that too in that moment? 385 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,679 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say so. Yeah.

So I'm wondering, 504 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:35,919 Speaker 1: is there anything that you guys can think of that 505 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 1: you've never really had the chance to say before that 506 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 1: you want to say today? 507 00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 2: To be honest, I. 508 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 4: Think I'm really proud in the way I use my 509 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 4: voice with my work, and I you know, my ambition 510 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 4: is to set a great example for my fan basis 511 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 4: majority women looking up to me, women of color looking 512 00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:55,840 Speaker 4: up to me. 513 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 2: So I feel like I. 514 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 4: Usually say the things that I truly believe in from 515 00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 4: my heart, so I'm going to I'm going to keep 516 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:08,080 Speaker 4: riding on that. I think. I just want to make 517 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 4: the world a better place as much as I can. 518 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 2: I wish I was that's such a good answer. 519 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 3: I wish I was more prepared or smart enough to 520 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 3: come up with something like that. When I saw this 521 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: on the page, I thought you were going to bring 522 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 3: up a quote that we may have said before. 523 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: No, it's deeper than that. 524 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 3: Said it or not, which should have been a fun 525 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 3: game too. But I'm sorry, I can't. I can't think 526 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 3: of much off the top.
