Please give 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:49.320 a hey pal. Welcome to miss Ashley Green. Ashley, how 0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.239 are you. I'm so good. Thank you guys for having 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.080 me one of our best. He's actually Green Corey, actually Green, 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:03.440 that's actually actually you dropped that one. I'm I'm not 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.520 giving Paul any credit on this podcast. You are ours 0:05:06.640 --> 0:05:09.200 for the next half hour. No, Paul Corey is a 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:20.080 part of this. Oh because very very true. All right now, 0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:23.560 ash Let's just get right into it. Um. There are 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.039 very few people that have gone from high school to 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:32.120 the pros and exceeded all expectations. And in sports, Lebron 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:34.320 James was one of those people. King James and the 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.359 n b A He was really the first NBA athlete 0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:41.440 that had the expectations that he did and actually came 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:45.320 through with those expectations and lived up to them. Now, 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:48.880 very similar in the way that Lebron did that Ashley 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:53.200 Green before she was Ashley Green, Corey went from high 0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:56.880 school directly to the pros. I mean, you moved out 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.120 here from Jacksonville, Florida to Los Angeles when you were 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.680 seventeen years old, and you start your journey and acting, 0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:07.520 and uh, right off the bat, you got one of 0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:09.679 the biggest parts, one of the most sought after parts 0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.120 in Hollywood, which would be essentially going to the pros 0:06:13.600 --> 0:06:16.520 and that is getting your part in in the Twilight movie, 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.840 which was something that, based on the books, was guaranteed 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:26.279 to be a big hit. So, um, how exactly was 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:29.920 that transition? And you know, how do you feel that 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.359 you exceed those expectations yourself? And also is a franchise, 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:46.040 Ron Green? That's me thank you for the introduction. Yeah, 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:49.760 you know, I um came to l A and basically 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:51.200 it's like, I'm just going to be the best and 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:57.720 then did that kidding Annahole? All right, So, I you know, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.160 I think when I moved to l A, I add 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:03.200 a little bit of naivety in my in my pocket. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:04.960 And I think that was very helpful because I did 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.000 move to l A and say, like, I'm just going 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:09.960 to succeed. There's no other option. This is what I'm 0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.360 gonna do. I my entire life was taught if you 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:16.960 are not great at something, become great work. Ethnic was 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640 something that my dad really worked hard and still kind 0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:22.280 of drilled into our brains. Um. So I kind of 0:07:22.320 --> 0:07:26.000 came to l A with that mindset, and I think 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:28.440 that it ended up being very helpful. Was before I 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:33.320 realized just how savage Pollywood can be um and uh. 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:34.840 And I think that that was part of the reason 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.320 that I was as successful, um, you know, as early 0:07:38.320 --> 0:07:40.120 on as I was, because I just kind of was like, oh, 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:42.200 this is going to happen. And I think and some 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.000 and some sense kind of willed it to happen, um 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:47.600 and uh and yeah. I just kind of got to 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.280 l A, started the grind audition for everything I could, 0:07:50.320 --> 0:07:54.040 went to every acting class I could, um and happened 0:07:54.040 --> 0:07:59.160 to look like a vampire that was made up in 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.440 someone's mind. But Ash, there was this there, there was 0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:06.040 this phenomenon around this this book. I guess we're kind 0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:09.760 of calling this book in this example high school, right, yeah, 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.880 and then and then you know, and then you already 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:15.680 have all the expectations of this book. What kind of 0:08:15.720 --> 0:08:19.880 pressures was it after you get cast, you know, and 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.480 then you go off to shoot this thing, and then 0:08:22.520 --> 0:08:26.120 you guys actually exceed like this book was crazy was everywhere, 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:30.000 and then the movie exceeds already the high expectations of 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:35.240 the book, which is just absolutely insane. Yeah. Yeah, well, 0:08:35.240 --> 0:08:37.120 I mean, listen, I can't take credit for any of 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.600 the writing of the book or the the I guess 0:08:39.640 --> 0:08:41.680 success in that sense, but I do think, you know, 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.719 we it was everything came together really perfectly, and I 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.000 think that Stephanie Meyer did a great job at tapping 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.640 into that one teenage inkst but also creating characters that 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:55.040 every person could relate to. Like I feel like there 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:57.560 was a character in Twilight that every person could somehow 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:00.320 like tap into. Um. I got very lock in the 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.160 sense that I was cast as Alice Calling, and I 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:05.360 feel like she's just by nature a very lovable, very 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:09.839 relatable character. Um And um, you know, I think in 0:09:09.880 --> 0:09:16.760 general I am a pretty likable person. M optimistic. Thank 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:21.000 you thanks for that. Um. But but yeah, you know, 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:23.400 and just kind of threw myself into it. And then 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.520 I think I also part of the reason I think 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:28.760 I I did as well as I did as well 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.120 is that I I kind of made it my mission 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.440 to make sure that I kind of catered to and 0:09:35.000 --> 0:09:38.040 became a person that our young audience could look up to. 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:40.480 There was, you know, when we were thrust into the 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:44.040 spotlight and and and got these roles, Um, we weren't 0:09:44.080 --> 0:09:46.080 just kind of on set playing a role. I think 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.520 they're keen this responsibility alongside it, um to be a 0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.000 role model for these young girls. And Dave and I 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:55.240 often talk about um, like growing up and playing sports, 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.160 you know, like when we went to the basketball court, 0:09:57.200 --> 0:10:00.720 it kind of like even as a kid like five six, seven, eight, 0:10:00.800 --> 0:10:04.000 like it just fills a void and you it's kind 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:06.079 of like your temple, and it's like it's like very 0:10:06.120 --> 0:10:07.920 peaceful for us. And then of course you grow in 0:10:07.960 --> 0:10:09.240 it and you get better at it, and if you 0:10:09.240 --> 0:10:10.840 want to take it serious, you can take it serious. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:13.160 And so I was just wondering, like what do you 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:15.560 get out of like what do you get out of 0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:19.040 acting that you don't get out of real life? You know, 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.760 like for for us, for athletes, like we go to 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:23.520 the basketball court and what we're getting is we're getting 0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.000 a moment to breathe and we're getting this, Like I said, 0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.160 it's kind of our temple and like a place of peace. 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.080 It's like, what do you get out of out of 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:32.400 acting that you don't you know that that you get 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:33.920 to kind of step away from and you don't get 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:36.520 out of real life? Well, I think there's in the 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:38.160 same way that people go to spend them out of 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.560 kind of escape realities. I think it's the same way 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:44.280 for me. Whatever I step on set, I it is 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:46.680 like kind of my safe place. Like I think if 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.240 your director is doing a good job, they create a 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.200 safe space for you to be able to grow and 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:54.920 play um, you know, with your characters and this this 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.120 person that you've created and so you know, for me, 0:10:57.160 --> 0:10:59.000 it's always very fun to be able to dine into 0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:02.160 a character and kind of look at someone else's mindset 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:04.560 it's very different from mine. I think there's a there's 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:07.120 also a growth there. Like with I say, it's like 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:11.040 my therapy because it forces you to kind of look 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:13.319 at different perspectives in a way that I never would 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:17.520 as as Ashley Um and so yeah, as Ashley or 0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:24.600 as lebron Sorry, well, it's also a testament to your talent, 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.760 because Jared very much looks like a vampire and he 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:33.720 hasn't gotten any work in Hollywood. So the role of 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:38.400 the vampire very close to being like, did you know 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:41.720 this about your co host? Did you know? I did know. 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:44.720 I did know. But again, your talent one out and 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:49.120 his unfortunately didn't. It's true, by the way, for all 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.760 the listeners, Ashley Green and I were in each other's 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:54.560 first acting class. So if Ashley would have, you know, 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:57.000 taught me a couple more things, I too could have 0:11:57.040 --> 0:12:00.640 been lebron professional. If Lebronn would have taught me a 0:12:00.679 --> 0:12:03.520 couple of tricks, I could have been a professional actor. Instead, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:07.240 we're interviewing her. That's what's going on right now. But 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:17.160 Brown was busy focusing on self growth. It's down. That's 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:21.040 probably true. That's probably true. That that I do. I 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:25.360 love that. So what about like you? You you were 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:30.719 part of also this massive cast, right, Like I mean 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.240 a lot of times when we go see movies, we 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.640 see a lead opposite another lead with a couple of supportings, 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:38.920 and you were opposite this massive cast and Dave and 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.000 I were talking about this before the show is we 0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:43.599 were we were actually talking about how Tom Brady is 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:46.520 now in Tampa Bay and Bruce arians as a coach, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.199 and then with came with with with Tom Brady came 0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:52.640 Rob Gronkowski. Now they've just signed Antonio Brown. You know 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.640 they've got they they signed all these you know, Leonard Fournette, 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.520 all these different running backs. They have got so many 0:12:57.520 --> 0:12:59.840 people on top of what's the roster, Dave, like fifty 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:03.079 and people or fifty five and they have it's like 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:06.319 an ensemble. Yeah, it's a massive, massive, it's an all 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.199 star team. Yeah it is. It's just crazy. And when 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:10.400 you look at basketball and you've got Phil Jackson, who's 0:13:10.440 --> 0:13:12.440 got to you know, manage all these different personalities from 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:14.520 Jordan to Pip into Rodman to run our tests and 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.560 all these So it got us thinking, like when you 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.320 were on this, on this massive set and this ensemble, 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:21.719 like what is it like with the director? How does 0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:26.400 the director bring everyone together? So because for our listeners, 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:29.959 you know, you've got Ashley Green, You've got Kellen Lutts, 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:33.600 you've got Peter Facconelli, you've got Taylor Lawner, you've got 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.920 Robert Pattinson, you've got you know, Kristin Stewart, you've got it. 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:39.719 I mean, Jackson Rathbone, Anna Kendrick. It goes on and on. 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:41.599 So what what are the tricks of the trade. What 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:43.120 do they do to bring you guys together and make 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:47.280 sure everybody's flowing as want to build that chemistry? Yeah, 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.719 I think you know that Catherine Hardwick really had that. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.000 That was kind of her job. I think by the 0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:55.840 time we got to two, three, four and five, um 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.360 that you know, we've already created this bond and we 0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:01.840 knew our characters very well. So for the directors following Katherine, 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:04.840 it was more about coming in and kind of you know, 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:09.280 working within these characters we created and bringing out different layers. Um. 0:14:09.320 --> 0:14:13.040 But we had already as people, created this I think 0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:15.600 bond like we had gone through something that no one 0:14:15.640 --> 0:14:18.040 else we knew had gone through. And so I think 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.320 you know that in itself created like a really great 0:14:20.640 --> 0:14:23.960 kind of you know, working relationship between everyone and allowed 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:27.200 us to all be very respectful with each other on set. Um. 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:31.160 But during the first one, you know that we didn't 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:33.480 realize that Twilight was going to be what it was 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:35.800 we were It was like we were almost a part 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.120 of this like indie film, and the way that Katherine 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.960 approached it was was such as that, and and you 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:44.120 know she was really kind of putting us in a 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:48.200 position to grow and learn together. Um. And so you know, 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.560 I think for us and that like it was before 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:52.880 not that we became DeVos in two through five, but 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:55.880 it was before we kind of realized the position that 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:58.400 we were in. So everyone was just very excited to 0:14:58.440 --> 0:15:00.960 be there into Dake direction and to kind of you know, 0:15:01.360 --> 0:15:04.680 build or be a part of this vampire film. But 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.800 you know, we didn't. We knew that the book had 0:15:06.840 --> 0:15:09.600 followed a following, but we had no idea that we 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.480 were going to be in such a successful franchise. What 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:14.840 about like do they do they go like we we 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.640 we all need to go bowling for a night, or 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.400 like just because it's just again, it's just so many personalities. 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:21.880 So like we obviously know you have the table read 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:23.640 right and and people get to know each other, but 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:28.120 what about outside of that before you start the first movie? Um, yeah, 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:29.720 I mean we all kind of like got together and 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:33.960 hung out, but very early on Catherine made us and rehearsals. Um, 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:38.360 she made us all pretend that we were cats. Uh, 0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:44.160 this is awesome. Okay, yeah, we're listening. If we had 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:46.760 to crawl around in his and jump and it was 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:50.120 so fucking uncomfortable that I feel like we all in 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:53.200 our uncomfortability kind of like forced us to come together. 0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:55.560 And I don't know, like it broke down these boundaries 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.600 I think between each person. It was really smart on 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:01.520 her and I don't know if she liked that foresight. Um, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.280 she really just wanted us to move around like we 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.720 were kind of like uli and asked the vampires with 0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:11.240 what I mean, that's amazing and that's something maybe Jared 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.760 and I should do on our dates as an icebreaker 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.440 to just see if we can get somewhere. Oh you 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:18.120 meant on dates as eyes. I thought you were talking 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:20.080 about right now. No, when we go on dates, but 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:22.920 maybe we should ask our date Dave to crawl around 0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:24.400 like a cat, Dave. I hate to say this in 0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.640 the middle of the show with Actually we don't go 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:29.160 on dates. No, we don't, but let's continue with it 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:33.720 if that day ever comes. Okay, okay, but before we 0:16:33.760 --> 0:16:35.160 move on to the next question, we just want to 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:38.760 make make this very clear. Is that you were in 0:16:38.800 --> 0:16:42.200 a room doing a table read where everybody is jumping, 0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:45.760 jumping and crawling as cats. This was this was post 0:16:45.800 --> 0:16:49.560 table read. This was rehearsal in the ballet studio. But 0:16:50.120 --> 0:16:53.520 but yes, we all had to jump around and meal 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:56.360 and act like we're a cat. It was very it's 0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.920 very confusing. It was a bonding experience. I almost wish 0:17:00.000 --> 0:17:03.320 you guys had all auditioned for the like asserting dominance 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:05.040 where she was like, listen on your little ship, I'm 0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:09.000 gonna make on like cats. I kind of wish they 0:17:09.000 --> 0:17:13.360 would recast Cats with the cast of Twilight. I give 0:17:13.440 --> 0:17:20.560 it with you better first movements. So call me, don't 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:22.520 go anywhere, Hey, Pam will be right back after a 0:17:22.560 --> 0:17:33.000 work for our sponsors. All right now. Similar to great 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:37.080 players like Lebron James, we've mentioned Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.320 who went on to do things beyond sports. Like Peyton 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.639 Manning even does like acting now in commercials. You have 0:17:43.760 --> 0:17:46.679 gone on to do things using your platform. You know 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:50.160 that you gained from Twilight and you're an entrepreneur. Ash 0:17:50.200 --> 0:17:53.120 You're involved in so many different things. Uh. You have 0:17:53.359 --> 0:17:57.280 these gyms that are opening next chen, you have inventions 0:17:57.320 --> 0:17:59.239 that I maybe don't don't want to talk about right 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:01.920 now on the podcast that's just yet. But you're involved 0:18:01.960 --> 0:18:05.359 in in in philanthropy, You're you're involved in so many 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:10.320 different things, and how was how is your career and 0:18:10.600 --> 0:18:12.399 the attention that you've gained from those things, how does 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:17.480 that helped you to do these other endeavors. Yeah, I am, 0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:21.719 it's definitely so. I feel like my position is sometimes 0:18:21.800 --> 0:18:23.320 it's like a blessing in the curse, right, Like I 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.199 think there's more exposure, so you have to kind of 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:27.840 cover your basis. But it certainly gives me a platform 0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:29.960 to be able to get gain the attention of a 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:32.440 lot of people from the get go. UM. And it's 0:18:32.440 --> 0:18:35.200 also opened a lot of doors for me as far 0:18:35.280 --> 0:18:38.280 as having access to people that can help accelerate the 0:18:38.320 --> 0:18:41.480 growth of the companies. UM. You know that some people 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:43.640 just don't have and that's certainly something that I'm kind 0:18:43.640 --> 0:18:47.800 of learning to navigate that space in the business world. UM. 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:51.399 But I will say, like it's funny because I for 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:54.040 so long was really immersed in the world of acting 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:57.199 and that's all I was doing. UM, and this pandemic 0:18:57.400 --> 0:18:59.679 really was like what made me kind of take a 0:18:59.680 --> 0:19:01.879 big set back and we weren't allowed to be on 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:04.920 set for almost a year. UM, and I sat down 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.399 and said, like, you know, how am I going to 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:08.400 use my time wisely? And I can't just sit here 0:19:08.440 --> 0:19:11.280 and do nothing, um, And so really dove in and 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.160 decided to create a startup that we're about to launch, 0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:18.480 which is super exciting. But I forgot how like I 0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:22.000 like tasks and I like analytical thinking and I like 0:19:22.080 --> 0:19:24.040 that side of things that I just hadn't exercised it 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.960 for so long. Um. But it's a it's a really 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:29.639 cool kind of you know, space to be and mind you, 0:19:29.680 --> 0:19:31.879 the second I got back on set, I was like, 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:35.080 I also loved this so much. It's like I feel 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.560 like I'm like split between two things that I equally loved. 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:39.119 But I think that they go hand in hand. And 0:19:39.160 --> 0:19:41.600 I think that you know, we've seen a lot of people, 0:19:41.960 --> 0:19:45.440 um kind of kind of cross over the boundaries and 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:47.960 be able to be a little bit of a jack 0:19:48.000 --> 0:19:49.840 of all trades, and that's certainly what I'm trying to do. 0:19:49.880 --> 0:19:52.159 I think, you know, if I have the access and 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.040 ability to do it in the bandwidth, why not if 0:19:55.080 --> 0:20:00.760 we gave you an envelope and in that envelope is 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:07.199 going to be what said the blue pill, And in 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:10.720 that envelope is when you pull it out, is going 0:20:10.760 --> 0:20:13.680 to be a a word that has written on a 0:20:13.680 --> 0:20:16.639 piece of paper that lets you know the genre of 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:20.920 the next movie that you have to go make. Okay, 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.560 so you don't know if it's going to say comedy, 0:20:22.600 --> 0:20:25.680 if it's gonna say action, it's gonna say drama, sci 0:20:25.720 --> 0:20:29.400 fi and all. So it's it's kind of a question 0:20:29.440 --> 0:20:32.320 mark of what it's gonna say. Who is the actor 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:42.879 that you are going to pick to play opposite you? Cumberbatch? Wow? Wow, Wow, 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:48.919 let's talk about let's talk about this or at cumber Batch. 0:20:51.440 --> 0:20:54.040 I think he's so brilliant and I love, like, I 0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:56.639 don't know everything I watched my film. It just brings 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:58.600 me so much joy. And I think he's so kind 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:01.520 of like multifaceted and there was no boundary as an actor. 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:04.600 Um so I think him are like Michael Sheen is 0:21:04.640 --> 0:21:06.879 another one that popped into my head as well. Um 0:21:07.119 --> 0:21:10.000 but I just feel like would be phenomenal no matter 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:13.240 kind of what position you put him in. But but yeah, 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:16.159 I think Benedict is he's the number one pick. He was, 0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:18.400 he was Ashley Green's number one pick. I hope Paul 0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:22.159 knows this number one him. Paul and I have a 0:21:22.240 --> 0:21:24.280 list of people who were like, Oh, it's totally cool 0:21:24.280 --> 0:21:26.440 that you like have a slap obsession with that person, 0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:31.720 because generally our obsessions ALIGNE. So what are you hoping? 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:33.880
