Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Kristin Davis, and I want to know are
Speaker 1: you a Charlotte? Hi? Everyone, thanks for joining us. We
Speaker 1: are here today to do a little short question and
Speaker 1: answer from fans, and my friend Easton is here to
Speaker 1: help me.
Speaker 2: Yay, did you hear that? Everybody? She said, friend Easton,
Speaker 2: I am a fan, but I am afraid pretty nice.
Speaker 1: He's also a producer and our sound guy and really
Speaker 1: knows everything. But he's very nice. And if I'm doing
Speaker 1: a podcast and I can't see him because of the
Speaker 1: light blocking, I'm just not sure if it's going well.
Speaker 1: He's like my you know, go to to see if
Speaker 1: he's smiling or not.
Speaker 2: I well, let me assure you I'm smiling ear to ear,
Speaker 2: and I'm going to continue to smile as we ask
Speaker 2: these questions here and now. These are sent in by fans, okay,
Speaker 2: and they're all anonymous, so okay, they might be these
Speaker 2: might be difficult questions.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I just want to warn you I did
Speaker 1: not screen these questions. Okay, go ahead, my chumps.
Speaker 2: Oh God, you've mentioned before that you'd love for Trey
Speaker 2: to come back on in just like that. Huh what
Speaker 2: would that look like?
Speaker 1: I have a lot of fantasies about this, you guys,
Speaker 1: and I don't know what it would actually look like, right,
Speaker 1: because the thing that's hard is that you know, I
Speaker 1: run into Kyle through the years, but Kyle is not Trey,
Speaker 1: right yea. So it's confusing because the Charlotte Tray storyline
Speaker 1: lives very much in my mind, but I haven't rewatched
Speaker 1: that part yet, and I don't know how rewatching is
Speaker 1: actually going to stack up to my memory of it. Right.
Speaker 1: I've seen little clips and things that that I think
Speaker 1: are fantastic, but I don't know about the ending, how
Speaker 1: I'm going to feel, because obviously I know the ending,
Speaker 1: but I don't know how I'm going to feel, right, Like,
Speaker 1: this is a terrible, terrible thing that I'm about to admit,
Speaker 1: and I don't actually know if this is true. I've
Speaker 1: never oh wait no, see, if I try to say
Speaker 1: things about my personal life, it's always a slippery slope.
Speaker 1: But what I was going to say is, I don't
Speaker 1: know that I Kristin would have given up on Trey
Speaker 1: in the way that Charlotte did. But I also have
Speaker 1: never been in a relationship like that without sex and
Speaker 1: or good sex. I can't even honestly remember exactly what
Speaker 1: happened in the Tray Charlotte relationship, which is interesting, right,
Speaker 1: but like a Zachtor's, you have like selective memory kind of,
Speaker 1: So I just know that there was so much joy
Speaker 1: in working with Kyle, right, And I don't know that
Speaker 1: I Kristin would have been like yeah, no, no to that
Speaker 1: guy because of the weirdnesses with his mom, and I
Speaker 1: don't even really know what happened. So in my mind,
Speaker 1: the thing that would be amazing to have Kyle back
Speaker 1: would be like if we ran into each other somewhere,
Speaker 1: not like a plan thing, because I think that would
Speaker 1: be weird for Charlotte to do because she is very
Speaker 1: loyal to Harry and they have such an incredible relationship.
Speaker 1: I do not think she would risk that relationship by
Speaker 1: seeking Trey out or anything like that, but like if
Speaker 1: they ran into each other and they could have kind
Speaker 1: of some closure because they do think And I can't
Speaker 1: remember if this ended up in the show or not,
Speaker 1: we had it in and just like that that Charlotte
Speaker 1: says that she has never spoken to Trey since they
Speaker 1: got divorced, but I don't know if that's in the
Speaker 1: show or if we just had it on the page right.
Speaker 1: So to me, that says there's unfinished business, because how
Speaker 1: could you be married to someone and never talk to
Speaker 1: them or whatever. I do know one person who says
Speaker 1: that that's true for them, But I always think every
Speaker 1: time he says this that he needs to go to
Speaker 1: therapy and deal with that. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: That's what I think. So I just think that there
Speaker 1: could be like a sweet I would love it to
Speaker 1: be like a sweet kind of a meeting of like,
Speaker 1: you know, we really loved each other and it didn't
Speaker 1: work out, and we wish you well, and he could
Speaker 1: say I wish you well, and you know, we could
Speaker 1: see if he did get married and have kids. I
Speaker 1: would hope that he didn't because I think that'd be painful.
Speaker 1: But I don't know, and I haven't really talked to
Speaker 1: Michael about my fan fantasy of it. I know that
Speaker 1: what Kyle said to me in terms of his idea
Speaker 1: is that he wants it. What I took from what
Speaker 1: he said he wanted he said he wanted it to
Speaker 1: live up to our previous storyline. I don't know exactly
Speaker 1: what that means, but what I took it to mean,
Speaker 1: was that it needed to kind of be romantic in
Speaker 1: a way. But he wasn't saying he wanted me to
Speaker 1: cheat on Harry with him, because I don't think anyone
Speaker 1: wants that, but that it would be some kind of
Speaker 1: like loving closure. Maybe I don't know, Maybe we don't
Speaker 1: have time to do that in the new show. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I have a fantasy of it.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see that fantasy comes through more in just
Speaker 2: like that questions. I found this's really interesting. Charlotte is
Speaker 2: very traditional. Charlotte has very traditional values, and then you
Speaker 2: have Rock who is a non binary and kind of
Speaker 2: challenges a lot of those traditions. How do you think
Speaker 2: Charlotte reconciles having in childhood like that?
Speaker 1: What I think is this, I think yes, On the
Speaker 1: one hand, Charlotte is very traditional. Also think look at
Speaker 1: her friends, look at her life. She's not actually that traditional.
Speaker 1: She's just traditional within their lifestyle right. And also, as
Speaker 1: we have previously discussed, when you do tally up all
Speaker 1: the guys that everybody dated in the first show, Charlotte
Speaker 1: has the most guys. So on the one hand, she's traditional,
Speaker 1: but on the other hand, she's really open minded and
Speaker 1: kind of game, and she commits to everything she does,
Speaker 1: which I love about her. So I think I also
Speaker 1: think that being a mother is so incredibly important to
Speaker 1: her and being a good mother, because Charlotte wants to
Speaker 1: be good at everything she does. She's never just going
Speaker 1: to be like, oh, I'll be a fine mother, you know.
Speaker 1: She wants to be the mess mother, right, So whatever
Speaker 1: challenges the two children present to her, she's gonna try
Speaker 1: to figure out, which is definitely what I go through
Speaker 1: being a mother. You don't know what's going to happen,
Speaker 1: you know, week to week, year to year, they change,
Speaker 1: These kids change. It's crazy. So I think that the
Speaker 1: Rock situation definitely challenges Charlotte because she does have a
Speaker 1: fantasy of what she wants her life to look like.
Speaker 1: And I think for anybody when their kids aren't necessarily
Speaker 1: what they expected, they're going to have to rearrange themselves.
Speaker 1: But I also think that everyone loves their kids and
Speaker 1: that you realize, you know, my job here is to
Speaker 1: support this kid in who they are. And the thing
Speaker 1: that I love about the Rock character is that it's
Speaker 1: just who that kid is. It's not like a trend
Speaker 1: or an idea or I'm going to do this just
Speaker 1: to make your life difficult. There's none of that. That's
Speaker 1: just who that kid is. And this season of then,
Speaker 1: just like that, you're going to get to see Rock
Speaker 1: kind of settle in to who they are more and
Speaker 1: say some really so sweet and wise things to Charlotte.
Speaker 1: Like at one point they say, you know, mom, I'm
Speaker 1: going to try on a lot of different people. And
Speaker 1: Charlotte's like, oh, you know, because like for Charlotte, she's like, wait,
Speaker 1: I just got used to this one and now you're
Speaker 1: gonna change again. Oh my god. But that's you know,
Speaker 1: a lovable Charlotte quality. She's like, oh okay, oh my god.
Speaker 1: So in your head you can see that she's going like,
Speaker 1: oh my god. But she's not going to say that
Speaker 1: to Rock. She's like, okay, okay.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: So I think it's great because Charlotte needs to be challenged, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, as we all do personally. I think it
Speaker 1: challenge is good. Keeps you alive, it keeps you fresh,
Speaker 1: it keeps you, you know, changing with the times. So
Speaker 1: and I also think if you look at Charlotte's friends,
Speaker 1: I mean, Mario was sorry, Anthony is one of her
Speaker 1: best friends, right, he's very very gay guy, right, so
Speaker 1: you know she's not like a close minded person, yeah,
Speaker 1: because that would be a bigger challenge than it is.
Speaker 1: But you know, I think for anyone who has a
Speaker 1: child who is trans or non binary, and I know
Speaker 1: people who have children that this is true for it's
Speaker 1: a period of adjustment and you have to do some
Speaker 1: research and you have to talk to some other people
Speaker 1: about what to do and how to make your child
Speaker 1: happy and feel at ease. And that's what's most important
Speaker 1: because unfortunately, you know, there's a high rate of you know,
Speaker 1: self harm and suicide in these kids. And I think
Speaker 1: that's the thing that gets forgotten about when people talk
Speaker 1: about what's perceived as a trend. I think the trend
Speaker 1: is just that we're talking about it, right. I don't
Speaker 1: think it's a new trend, but I think that we're
Speaker 1: discussing it in a more open way. And the worst
Speaker 1: thing that can possibly happen to you is for your
Speaker 1: child to kill themselves or try to kill themselves. So
Speaker 1: any parent who's going through this, at least the ones
Speaker 1: that I know, they're just trying to figure out how
Speaker 1: to best parent this child, What does this child need
Speaker 1: so that this child can be happy, and isn't that
Speaker 1: what we all want for our kids.
Speaker 2: I get emotional thinking about it because, like when the
Speaker 2: rock storyline happened, I saw Charlotte react to Charlie and
Speaker 2: Harry react with nothing but support and understanding, and I
Speaker 2: think about how many kids need that. Yeah, and just
Speaker 2: it's just great thing to see on TV.
Speaker 1: I'm clas thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm a straight white man, but this is really important.
Speaker 1: I think, thank you. I love doing it. I love
Speaker 1: that storyline.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it really And now something with equal importance here.
Speaker 2: You have such shiny and thick hair when you're filming
Speaker 2: the show. What are your hair secrets?
Speaker 1: You know what my hair secret is. Her name is
Speaker 1: Rebecca Forecast. She does my hair. She's incredible. Just recently,
Speaker 1: this is the thing about Rebecca. I share Matine and
Speaker 1: Rebecca with Cynthia, so they Mattine does my makeup, Rebecca
Speaker 1: does my hair. And they had previously done Cynthia for
Speaker 1: like red carpet events, and I've known them for years
Speaker 1: because they've done Cynthia and they always do a tremendous job. Right,
Speaker 1: And when we were getting ready to come back to work,
Speaker 1: my original makeup person, well at least not original, but
Speaker 1: my makeup person that I most loved from the show,
Speaker 1: Nikki Liederman, was busy with some personal things and then
Speaker 1: also ended up being on the Gilded Age with Cynthia also,
Speaker 1: and we couldn't schedule with her though I really wanted her.
Speaker 1: And then my original, not my original, but my most
Speaker 1: loved hair person, Michael Kristen is his name, kind of confusing.
Speaker 1: He has retired. So I first went to them to
Speaker 1: try to get them back because we love our crew
Speaker 1: so much, and we tried to get all the people
Speaker 1: we could get back, but you know, different things have
Speaker 1: happened in people's lives. So Cynthia went to her original
Speaker 1: hair and makeup. They were available. So then she was like,
Speaker 1: what about Metteina Rebecca because it was the middle of COVID,
Speaker 1: So Mattina and Rebecca were print and red carpet type.
Speaker 1: They were not in the Union, right, So there's like
Speaker 1: the union hair and makeup people, and then the like
Speaker 1: red carpet magazine type people, right, and Mattina and Rebecca
Speaker 1: were over here. But with COVID, there was no work
Speaker 1: like people were. It was dire. It was it was
Speaker 1: a situation that was scary for New York especially La also,
Speaker 1: but like that whole industry just had nothing to do
Speaker 1: for you know, a significant amount of time, like over
Speaker 1: a year. It was really bad. So Cynthia said, you know,
Speaker 1: do you want to use Mattina Rebecca? And I was like,
Speaker 1: could I use Matina Rebecca because I love them as
Speaker 1: people so much and they're so incredibly talented, and she
Speaker 1: said yes, that would be incredible. So I get Mattina
Speaker 1: Rebecca for the show, and Rebecca sometimes also does my
Speaker 1: press stuff and Rebecca is a genius. And just to
Speaker 1: be fully full disclosure, sometimes I have extra hair on
Speaker 1: my head, okay, people, So I don't want you to
Speaker 1: think it's all my hair. I mean this today is
Speaker 1: all my hair that I did myself. So I do
Speaker 1: have good hair and I'm very thankful for it. And
Speaker 1: I use Also, while we're at it, my colorist has
Speaker 1: an incredible product for hair growth. It's called Highbrow Hippie.
Speaker 1: That's her company, and she made this hair growth serum.
Speaker 1: It's water based. I use it. I love it. My
Speaker 1: hair has grown and cotton thicker. It works. It's incredible.
Speaker 1: So I have incredible people who take care of my hair.
Speaker 1: And I'm very thankful and I credit them all. So
Speaker 1: Katie Lee does my color. She's in highbrow hippie, and
Speaker 1: then Rebecca Forecast does my hair on the show and
Speaker 1: sometimes adds hair, sometimes doesn't. Full disclosure.
Speaker 2: Okay, guys, you know you're gonna get real when you
Speaker 2: listen to Christin Davis.
Speaker 1: You be real? Right? Isn't that the point of the podcast?
Speaker 1: Why don't you think?
Speaker 2: Why do you add otherwise? Totally? This is an interesting question.
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts on letting the guy stroke Charlotte's
Speaker 2: feet to get free shoes.
Speaker 1: I thought that was super weird, but you know, it's
Speaker 1: really funny, really really funny about it. With the social
Speaker 1: media now, there's like a whole foot thing that I
Speaker 1: only know what tiny bit about, and I don't really
Speaker 1: want to know more. But when I have people filming
Speaker 1: me for different social media things, they'll be like, we're
Speaker 1: going to cut your feet out because we don't want
Speaker 1: to put your feet on, And I'm like, that's so weird.
Speaker 1: The feet and the shoes are part of the outfit,
Speaker 1: but they don't want to feed into the foot thing.
Speaker 1: I guess it's a thing. It's a real passion fan
Speaker 1: apparently it's a passionate, passionate fan base, which is trippy. Okay,
Speaker 1: I thought that whole storyline was like slightly difficult to
Speaker 1: film and awkward feeling, but that's how it fell for
Speaker 1: Charlotte also, So there you go. But would I do it? No,
Speaker 1: I would not do it. If that's what you're asking me,
Speaker 1: I would not do that.
Speaker 2: Now, this is a question I've seen come up often.
Speaker 2: Did you and Chris not ever date?
Speaker 1: No? No, we did not. But there's this picture that
Speaker 1: I understand. I felly understand why why why people would
Speaker 1: think that I am licking his face? And you know,
Speaker 1: this is the main thing I want to say. If
Speaker 1: I was dating someone, I would not lick their face
Speaker 1: on the red carpet, right Like for me, you know,
Speaker 1: there's like a separation of church and state, right, So
Speaker 1: if you're dating somebody, you don't go around with them.
Speaker 1: I mean I have made a mistake occasionally of going
Speaker 1: around with people. Always regretted it, always regretted being on
Speaker 1: a red carpet. I can only think of once that
Speaker 1: I was actually on a red carpet with someone I
Speaker 1: was dating, and the relationship ended very soon. It was
Speaker 1: very soon over right, it's too much weird pressure to
Speaker 1: do it right. So my general theory of the whole
Speaker 1: time that I've been in the public eye or whatever
Speaker 1: is been don't take the people that you're actually involved
Speaker 1: with out with you to events, right, because that's work
Speaker 1: you're working. You don't necessarily want to parade them around.
Speaker 1: So that particular event, I, for whatever crazy insane reason
Speaker 1: I'm licking Chris No's face is the MTV Movie Awards
Speaker 1: want to say, and I want to say, is the
Speaker 1: year two thousand something like that, and Sir Jessica it's
Speaker 1: either two and two thousand and one. Sir Jessica's hosting it.
Speaker 1: So we were there to support Sir Jessica. And it
Speaker 1: was a lot of young people, okay, and DiAngelo, for
Speaker 1: anyone who's my age will remember, performed that night and
Speaker 1: it was incredible and there was fire and DiAngelo was there,
Speaker 1: but also in Sync was there. But they were doing
Speaker 1: their puppet show like this, like do you remember their
Speaker 1: puppet dance that they should do like they were like
Speaker 1: little children, right, And it was a very long and
Speaker 1: hot evening in Santa Monica somewhere. And I believe that
Speaker 1: I was dating someone who is actually there, though obviously
Speaker 1: not in the picture where I'm licking Chris's face for
Speaker 1: whatever stupid reason. But it's one of those things that
Speaker 1: you're like, I had an embarrassing moment and now it
Speaker 1: lives on and it's really mortifying and I can't explain
Speaker 1: it really except to say there was a lot of
Speaker 1: young energy, So I understand why people think that, but no,
Speaker 1: I never did, and it's just kind of embarrassing.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for clearing that up.
Speaker 1: Sure, thank you forres We appreciate it.
Speaker 2: Let's close with one more. Yeah, what is something that
Speaker 2: you like to splurge on you personally?
Speaker 1: And Kristin Davis, Well, I'll tell you.
Speaker 2: So.
Speaker 1: You know, we get our own clothes, and we get
Speaker 1: our shoes. So I have more shoes than any human
Speaker 1: being ever needs, ever in their life, and I literally
Speaker 1: have nowhere to put them. But one thing we don't
Speaker 1: get is handbags. You guys, it's so painful. We have
Speaker 1: to give them all back because we borrow them. We
Speaker 1: ask for them, we beg for them, we plead for them.
Speaker 1: So my big thing, and I'm staring at my Chanelle
Speaker 1: right now, my big thing that splurge on is Chanel,
Speaker 1: and we were just in Paris promoting the show. I
Speaker 1: really really really wanted to go to the Chanel store,
Speaker 1: but I'm trying to save money, which I know sounds crazy,
Speaker 1: but I'm a single mother of two, and we don't
Speaker 1: know when we're going back to work. The show has
Speaker 1: not been picked up yet. It's like kind of nail
Speaker 1: biting for me. I feel like we're going to go
Speaker 1: back to work, but until you know, as an actor,
Speaker 1: you can't be spending that money, right And Chanel, the
Speaker 1: price is they just keep going up, so I have
Speaker 1: to spend you know, money on my kids tuition and
Speaker 1: stuff right, like, like life is expensive. So I didn't
Speaker 1: go to Chanel the whole time I was in Paris.
Speaker 1: And then I get back here and I checked the
Speaker 1: price on the bag and it's twice as much here
Speaker 1: as it was there, and I'm like dart it. So
Speaker 1: that's the thing. But I really try to behave myself.
Speaker 1: But it's hard. Okay, it's hard.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: Charlotte carries so much Chanel and it just spoils me.
Speaker 1: Just bad, just bad. It's like a terrible thing. But
Speaker 1: I mean, don't we all want to splurge on Chanel.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Yes, I do. It's tough, do you?
Speaker 2: Yes? Really, well, I'm gonna put my one. I have
Speaker 2: a little Gucci money clip like that, and so I
Speaker 2: understand it.
Speaker 1: I get it. I have a little Gucci like little
Speaker 1: mini wallet too. I think it's at home. It has
Speaker 1: to be on it. The bee Be's cute.
Speaker 2: It be is cute.
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, but I got that on the real reel,
Speaker 1: so it wasn't a terrible to slurge.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for being so vulnerable and open, and.
Speaker 1: Thank you for asking Easton and whoever else sent in
Speaker 1: these questions. Thanks guys, it's always fun to get questions.
Speaker 1: It's super interesting what you guys send in. All right,
Speaker 1: I guess that's it. Thanks for listening and potentially watching.
Speaker 1: I think we're on YouTube at some point everything will
Speaker 1: end up there. It's not quite there yet, but it's
Speaker 1: coming all right. Thanks you guys, have a great day. Bye.
