How f*** ill was it to try on the Supergirl costume for the first time?
Like, how many pictures did you take on your phone?
I didn't take any.
No, I took them.
I took some.
In honor, Supergirl, name three things that are Millie Cryptonite.
Millie kryptonite.
That means I die?
Yeah, it's bad for you.
I'm a martini.
Martini.
I'm a cigarette.
Yeah.
I'm a simple girl.
Superman, Christopher Reed, Henry Cavill, or David Cornswet?
David Cornswet.
I can't also say David Kornswet.
I think I would be out of a job if I was like, Wayne.
He just is Superman.
I met him and I was like, oh.
So it's you.
You're the guy.
You're the guy.
All right.
So I need to know because I was told that you were a fan of my music.
What's your favorite Kid Cuddy song or album?
What up, fam?
Welcome back to Big Bro with Kid Cuddy, a wave original.
I'm in Big Bro, Scott, coming to you live from the attic of my mind.
Today, I'm sitting down with my newest homie, Millie Alcott.
She was so cool, very chill.
We had a great conversation.
Talked about Supergirl, putting her costume on for the first time.
going from Australia to London to the U.S.
Her favorite movies of all time.
And the one drink she can't mess with anymore.
That was more of a rager question.
So kickback, vibe out, and enjoy.
See you on the other side.
Millie, welcome to Big Bro.
Thank you for doing this.
Thanks for having me.
This is awesome.
Yeah.
Like now this is like this world that we're in,
this is supposed to be like the addict in my mind.
And it's filled with things that represent my childhood
or things that made me who I am.
Yeah.
Like, if we were in the attic in your mind, what would we find?
Something that represents young Millie.
The attic?
I lived in the attic.
Oh, shit.
I lived in the attic.
Yeah.
We, like, growing up, we lived in a three-bedroom house where there were four of us.
Okay.
It all got, like, we all got a bit too old to share rooms.
Okay.
And we had this, like, dingy attic.
And I was like, I'm going to do up the attic.
And for some reason, it never got jiprocked.
So it was all just, like, bubble wrap.
that like rather than insulated the attic,
it got so fucking hot in there
because it's Australia, so all the heat would rise.
So I actually have an attic.
And it was kind of similar.
There were fair, yeah, there were fairy lights.
I painted everything white.
We had a window and then we added like a little seat
kind of underneath it and I would sit and I would read.
Nice.
Yeah.
And I had a bed on the floor and like suitcases as like storage.
It was very fun.
So, yeah.
Well, that's got to be the illest when you have, like, your own attic as a kid.
But there was no door.
So it's just open hatch.
You know what I mean?
So there's like no privacy.
I could hear my cat climbing up out of a distinct squeak, you know.
But it was great.
Man, so from House of Dragons, sirens to now Supergirl.
Like, what's been the biggest adjustment for you going through all this stuff?
I think the biggest adjustment is kind of discovering that this is going to be my job now.
Yeah, the reality of it.
Yeah, the reality of it.
Because you go into these things, go into music or art or acting or anything kind of creative
and you want to make it.
I don't think you ever arrive.
You know what I mean?
You're never like, now I'm here.
Right, right.
But then slowly but surely and by chance and by luck and by everything,
you kind of start to see the fruits of your labor.
And I think now I'm at a point that I didn't comprehend
or couldn't understand or didn't believe.
And I did House of the Dragon that like,
oh, no, this is my job now.
Like, I didn't feel comfortable calling myself an actor
until like two years ago.
Really?
Yeah.
Damn, that's crazy.
Yeah.
That's crazy.
I think that is the biggest adjustment.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, like, let's talk about House of Dragons.
You know, like, how epic, how, like, ill was it
to like be on those sets and shoot on these locations.
Like I imagine there was not much acting needed.
Like you probably like feel.
And when you're in the wardrobe and you're in the castle and it's like all these things
happening, like it, the feeling must be crazy.
Yeah.
You know?
Yeah.
I mean, it was such an immersive world that they made like from the sets and like all
of the exterior sets on the back lot and like the throne room and my room was like all connected.
So you could like walk through the set as if it was a house.
Wow.
So it was so incredible to get to do that.
And it was COVID.
So it was kind of divine timing because you got to really immerse yourself in that world.
So it was just kind of all provided for you.
It was amazing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I imagine like, you know, I've done a couple movies where, you know, the budgets were crazy.
Yeah.
And the sets were wild.
I remember I did this TV show, Knuckles, which was a spinoff of the Sonic the Hitchhog movies.
and like my character pretty much had to like fight this little red alien the whole show.
You know what I mean?
But like the sets were so elaborate and it really helped with the job with being in it and knowing that you're actually seeing things and touching things and being in that world.
But I also wanted to ask you about like green screen because for me, my experience with green screen, like it took a little bit of an adjustment for me.
And I just wanted to ask you like, you know, with Supergirl and other stuff you've done with Green Screen, how has that been, like, finding that, like, that comfortability with working with something that's not there?
That's not there?
Yeah.
I was actually going to ask you that because we were so lucky we had an incredible team of alien makers, I guess you can say.
They're called Legacy.
So, like, all the alien, like, people that you see in the film.
They're all like masks and prosthetics and a lot of like the creatures that we interact with and massive animatronics.
So they made it.
They made it.
And it was like it was incredible going to work and you have this idea in your mind.
It's really difficult when you read a script that like isn't, I don't know if you had this.
Like isn't of the world that we live in.
Right.
And it's like and then they fly and then they do this and you're like, wait, how are we actually going to do that?
And then you get there and you're like, this is incredible.
This is insane.
So I only really did blue screen for like.
exterior, like for like flying or like space.
What was the flying like?
Because I saw like, they had a rig for Superman that they used.
Were you using something similar to that?
Yeah.
What was the rig?
It was kind of like he was flying and it was like he was on this thing.
Is it tuning for?
Fucking hurts.
So bad.
I've done like all of the harnesses.
Out of all, out of all of them, that one is really painful because the way that it works
is that you have your harness on.
You wear the harness under your costume as well.
So it's just like, and the suit is tight.
Yeah.
So you just look crazy.
Yeah.
So there's two harnesses?
There's a one underneath the suit.
There's like four. There's like different.
So you wear like under armor just so you don't like get like friction burn or whatever.
Right, right, right.
And then you put like a harness on.
And then you put like a different.
They'll make like a special stunt suit.
And there are multiples.
And you put, which is like your costume.
And then you put that on over the top.
And then where they do pick points, which is where they attach the like.
carabinas or whatever to secure you in it's not a carabine but it's something like that
they'll cut holes in the costume but the tuning fork it was like a harness here and usually with a
harness like around your waist that's your waist you're just being pulled up like that
right because of the way the tuning fork worked and you have to like lie flat and like spin around
your hips are like it's like this and then they squeeze you out so your whole like pelvis
basically it's like pressed out and you just get mad bruises wow I was so bruised
Wow.
Yeah.
That's intense.
Yeah.
But it was really, that one's fun, but it's quite painful.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That just fucked me up.
Like, because I really wanted to know how you guys did that because I saw that, that rig online a while back.
And it just looks, it looks intense.
Yeah.
It looks intense.
How fucking ill was it to try on the Supergirl costume for the first time?
Like, how many pictures did you take on your phone?
I wasn't going to take.
I didn't take any.
I mean, no, I took them.
No, it was crazy because like the first time that I wore the suit was for Superman for that like little cameo that I had.
And I'd like been cast to like a month before.
Right.
Because they needed to kind of squeeze me in before the end of the shoot to like, you know, link the two films together.
Right. Right.
And I remember putting on and being like, oh, this is this is happening now.
This isn't a dream.
This is actually real.
Fuck.
And the day was great.
I remember doing the kind of with the scene with the dog that was.
wasn't a dog. It was a woman in a gray suit that was barking at me.
So weird. It's so weird. And Chantal, one of our producers, just like looked at me and cried. And I was like, I've never met her before at that time. I was like, are you okay? And she was like, I've been trying to make this film for five years. And it's happening. And I just gave like a massive hug. And now she's like, I adore her. She's great.
That's so cool. Yeah. It was awesome. That's so cool. Yeah. For a Supergirl, did you just go straight to the comics and just dive right in?
Like, did you just go crazy and find every Supergirl comic you could ever find?
Yes and no.
I think, like, because the comic that...
Sorry.
I think because, like, the comic that our film is based on follows a very,
I think very specific type of Supergirl, like, Kara, in this instance,
because it's her origin story, in a sense.
And I loved Tom King's comic, I thought it was beautiful.
The illustrations are beautiful. The story is so great and has so much heart. So I kind of like use that as the foundation to be like, okay, who am I? What is the stake of what's going on? How important is everything that's happening to kind of help contextualize it into something that I could understand as someone who lives on earth. You know what I mean? And then I just tried to find her humility. So a bit of a bit of both. Yeah. How was it doing the action? Action was fun. Yeah. The action was fun.
It seems like that's when it's the most fun.
Just like wrestling.
It's kind of, yeah.
Professional wrestling as an adult, like, you know, rough housing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's a lot of fun.
Some of the stunts we were like practicing in pre and like I've never done anything like
stunt based before.
And that was really daunting.
Like being trained by like some of the best stunt people in the world and you're the
center of attention and you're doing it.
Not very good.
But slowly but surely I've got better and better.
Thanks to Mickey, who is my stunt double, and she's a beast.
Mickey, you said?
Mickey.
Shout to Mickey.
Shout to Mickey.
Yeah.
Mickey's a fucking beast.
She does everyone.
Nobody can move like her.
It's actually incredible watching her move.
She's better than all the guys, I think.
But, yeah, it was really fun.
And then other days I would get to work, and they'd be like, okay, so we're going to teach
you this stunt in 20 minutes, and there's four explosions and three guys on the widgets.
And I would be like, okay.
And you kind of just had to, like, that was really scary being like, it's, you know,
know someone is pretending to hit you and like if you forget what you're doing because your body
can yeah you could actually accidentally hit someone actually oh shit for real yeah for real across
the nose do you hurt them bad i don't think so i hope not i was like punching his face i was like
lying down like punching his face and then i just made contact and i was like oh my god i'm so sorry
i'm so sorry i'm so sorry and like freaked out so oh my god accidents happen uh of course of course
I found out that you learn like languages for Supergirl.
Yeah.
How many?
Did you learn like five languages or something?
No, there's five languages in the film.
I speak two languages.
I speak English and cryptonese.
We don't know if it's cryptone or cryptonez.
People can get really angry for that.
But one of those.
I speak those too, basically.
So you could pretty much talk to me right now.
Oh.
I know, I know the lines.
I know the lines that I was made.
to say on that one day a year ago.
Nice, nice.
Yeah.
James Gunn called you the best casting choice ever.
Like, is he just the coolest dude ever?
He's cool.
Amazing skin.
Yeah.
He's like a luminous.
That's the first thing I noticed.
You went to dinner.
I was like, wow, you have a good dermatologist.
You were great.
I didn't say that.
I thought it.
But yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, he's awesome.
Yeah.
Yeah, he seems great, man.
And, you know, I've loved what he's done.
And I'm really excited to see what, you know, he did with Super.
girl like producing that and and Craig Gillespie I've been a fan of him for a while too yeah he's cool
he's pretty great supergirl left Krypton for Earth yeah in what ways do you relate with that part of her
journey I think surprisingly I related to like a lot of her which was really nice to be like okay
this is probably the closest person I played to myself yeah yeah but it's just like superhero
I'm like she's not even human and she's so got so much humility
But, yeah, I think that, I don't know if you, are you, you're obviously from the States.
Have you ever moved anywhere for like a long period of time, like to a different country or?
No, never to a different country.
I guess touring and stuff is kind of when you're away from like home.
Yeah.
I mean, I moved from Cleveland to New York when I was a kid.
New York's its own planet.
That was, that's what I'm saying.
That was coming from the Midwest, like a small city like Cleveland.
Cleveland to like New York City was like a culture shock for me.
Yeah.
Like, and also the pace of the city itself.
It's insane.
It was just kind of jarring.
Yeah.
You know?
And that took me a minute.
But like, then again, I was, when I moved to New York, I was so hungry.
I was pursuing music.
I think it's the only time to like move to New York.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You gotta be relentless.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So I've been to Australia.
I've been Australia many times.
Yeah.
Actually, the first time I went to Australia.
it was the first time I toured.
I was working at the babe store.
I got an offer.
Somebody hit me up on MySpace.
It's when MySpace was popping.
Yeah.
Then they asked me if I wanted to tour Australia for three weeks.
And I said, hell yeah.
So I went out there.
They gave me $3,000 for like seven shows.
It was the most money I ever had in my life.
You were like, I am the richest.
I don't know.
Yeah, exactly.
Isn't it funny how you feel that way too?
You do.
But like, so I'm just.
went out there and but like my thing was like it felt like the multiverse of America.
It, okay, yeah.
Yeah.
It's so trippy.
I know what you mean.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I was there in December for some shows and it was just trippy as hell.
And I wanted to ask you like, what's the biggest adjustment that you've had to make coming from Australia to London or any other.
In the UK.
Or any other place, you know?
Yeah.
I think like it was an identity because.
Like you kind of associate yourself and who you are with the places, the people and the things
that you surround yourself with.
Right.
It's like I'm a certain type of person because I get, I go to this kind of pub or I drink,
this kind of drink or I wear these types of clothes and I hang out with these types of people.
Yeah.
That kind of says, I think we all kind of hang on to that to say who we are.
Right.
So when I was removed from that and put on the other side of the world, and not only with that,
but like with the show going on.
Yeah.
I'd never looked out of home before.
I'd know how to use a fucking washing machine.
I was calling my mom.
I was like, it's all in German.
It was like a German washing machine.
I was like, what the fuck?
You know, so it was like an adjustment of A,
learning how to basically feed clothes and shower myself.
And then also a massive identity kind of crisis, I guess.
Just kind of a readjustment of becoming a young adult.
And I didn't have like, I didn't have like friends.
Yeah.
I made friends, but at the time I didn't.
And you kind of go through that cycle of being like, okay, you'll meet people and you're like, oh, these people are really cool.
And then after two months, you're like, these people are fucking, this is not who I want to be around.
Yeah, these people suck.
You grab some.
You guys suck.
Yeah, that's the journey in L.A.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
What are your thoughts about L.A. though?
My thoughts about L.A.?
Yeah.
I haven't spent a lot of time in L.A.
Really?
Yeah.
I haven't.
I spent a lot of time in New York.
Yeah.
I've done two projects in New York.
Well, New York is the illist.
New York is great.
Yeah. I mean, it's the type of town where you go, you hustle.
And then once you acquire your dream or whatever your goal is, you get the fuck out and move to LA.
Yep, yep, yep, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're just kind of like, all right, now I'm starting to go.
And that's exactly what I did.
Like, I went there to pursue music, got my record deal, was in New York for about like a year or two years.
And then after that, I was just back on the West Coast.
Yeah, it's like a high frequency.
city.
It costs a lot.
It feels like it's easy to get lost in it.
That's true.
That's true.
But I definitely, you know, created my work ethic.
Yeah.
Like, coming up in New York City.
Yeah, definitely.
You know what I mean?
And it's one of the reasons, like, my friends don't even understand when I get a chance
to sleep.
Like, I'm just always like, because I still, even when I walk.
Yeah.
Like, I still have my New York walk.
I know.
Londoners have a similar walk.
London.
I was in Kyoto facility.
six weeks and I was like, these motherfocks need to walk fast.
Like, that was so great.
And it was really interesting.
Whenever you would like go, you know, when you're like the city, when you're in a city
and people walk, there's like a natural flow.
People move you pass.
I don't have to look at someone.
I'm just going to move.
Right.
Whenever you went to do that, they would just stop.
Like, they would just stop on the street.
And I was like, okay, this is like, this isn't, this isn't, this is.
Because London is kind of like New York where it's constantly going and moving.
And you got to fucking get out the way.
You got to get out of the way.
What's your drink of choice?
My drink of choice.
My alcoholic drinker choice?
You said drink.
It could be alcoholic drink a choice.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Okay, it's either like a dirty martini with vodka.
Okay.
Or a mescal McGarney.
Okay.
That might drink's a choice.
What are your drinks of choice?
My drink of choice is 1942 Don Julio.
Okay.
Yeah.
I see.
I love tequila.
Yeah, yeah.
But I went through stages.
You went through stages in tequila or in your drinking journey.
In alcohol in general.
At all, at first I started up when I was like 17.
I was like, beer, yeah, whatever I can get my hands on, right?
You're not picky, right?
And then it was like Hennessy.
Okay.
And, you know, I don't know why.
I guess rappers that I liked used to drink Hennessy, so I thought it was cool, like Snoop and all these guys.
And then went from Hennessy, Hen and Coke, actually.
Okay, nice.
To Vaca Red Bull.
And I was on Vaca Red Bull for a minute.
Like the first half of my career.
Wow.
You're like a 20-year-old girl.
Amazing.
Well, this is, I was in my 20s.
I was like 24.
Like, I was young.
And before I were going to a show, I, like, had to have, like, a full Baca Red Bull.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And then it went from that to, like, I had to get rid of that shit because the Red Bull was just driving me crazy.
Your adrenaline.
You're on stage.
Then I went to whiskey.
Okay.
Jamison was my drink.
Whiskey is cool.
People who drink whiskey, I'm like, well, you're just cooler than me.
Yeah.
Whiskey was cool.
Whiskey is cool.
Right?
But I was severely depressed.
during the time I was drinking whiskey.
Bad idea.
So it just had a bad connection for me.
You know what I mean?
No.
Yeah.
So it was just bad.
Yeah.
And now like that I've kind of gotten over the darkness and I'm in this better
place in my life.
And if I do drink, I want to drink something that kind of perks me up.
And tequila just makes me so happy.
Yeah.
You know, it's like a happy drunk.
It's a happy drunk.
I think it's like an actual thing.
Yeah.
Tequila like brings you up instead of bringing you down.
Yeah.
And I can fucking party for hours on tequila.
Really?
On tequila?
Yeah.
Yeah.
on tequila for sure
for sure.
Like, it's like,
it's...
Just straight?
Straight on the rocks.
That's gnaw.
Yeah.
That's cool.
Well, I mean, I'll sip it.
I would hope.
And I let the ice melt.
I would also hope.
Otherwise, it would be neat.
I was like...
Like a shot?
Like a massive shot?
Yeah.
Give me another one.
Double,
double that baby.
What's a drink that you can't fuck with
that you realize in the past?
The drink I can't fuck with?
Yeah, that's just like that fucks you up.
Brown.
liquor. Brown liquor. So no whiskey, no whiskey. I had a bad. Yeah, I had a bad. I got really
drunk when I was like 16. Oh. I was really drunk when I was 16. I was at like my old
boy, like my first boyfriend's house at the time. And he came home from work. He came home
from work and like his parents were out and we were like, let's drink. Because we're 16
and we're home alone. What else is there to do? And I drank like this much. You can't see like
so much in one go. And I was like a stick of a thing. I was tiny. And I hadn't eaten that day. And
and I stood up and I was like, I have a really faint.
I feel like I'm going to vomit.
And I turn around and I vomit in his fireplace.
But in Australia, in Australia, the fireplaces are closed up because it is Australia.
You do not need a fire place.
So it bounced back on me.
And then I had to like throw me in the shower.
It was a whole thing.
So since then I try and avoid.
Oh, that's terrible.
I've been like scarred by it.
Yeah, yeah.
That's terrible.
Not my finest hour.
No.
It's a good story.
Yeah, I mean, it's rock and roll, baby.
It's rock and roll.
You know what I mean?
That's how I explained it.
Yeah.
It's wrong girl.
I don't feel bad about anything.
I was like, it's rock and roll.
It's rock and roll.
Yeah.
I remember one time I was at my friend's house when I was in high school.
I was like 17 at the time.
And we were over his uncle's house.
He was like house sitting his uncle's crib.
Yeah.
And his uncle had this liquor cabinet and he had some cabassier in there.
And at this time, like the movie Ladies Man came out with Tim Meadows where he's like,
his drink was cabasier in the movie.
And like we were all like just we love that movie.
So we saw the Kabassier and we was like, let's have some.
So like I was just like drinking this shit like Kool-Aid.
Like because I didn't understand like all at that time, all I had really drinking was beer.
And I knew how to gauge what was too much with beer.
Like if I had one or two, I was straight.
If I had three, I'm kind of out of my mind.
Yeah.
I'm really out of there.
So I couldn't really gauge that with liquor yet.
And I remember I had mac and cheese before I came over.
I just threw up mac and cheese all over the carpet.
Oh, no.
It was like, what the fuck?
He was so mad.
And I was just like, I'm sorry.
I had noodles on my mouth and shit.
I felt so bad, man.
And that was the day I started my career with Cavazier and then I ended my career with
Rossier.
That was one and done.
One and done.
I was like, I'm not an 80-year-old.
I know you.
I'm not an 80-year-old man with a salt and pepper beard.
I'm 17.
There's no reason why I need to be drinking Cabacier right now.
I wanted to ask you, what was like one of your first big purchases when you first got your big check?
Yeah, that's a good question.
Well, I bought a house.
That's dope.
Which is so cool.
You bought it in London.
I'm like the first person in my family to own a home.
That's so dope.
So I bought a house.
I have a car.
That's really nice
Even though I can't drive it
My boyfriend drives it for me
It's beautiful
Why can't you drive it?
Because I can't
Okay
So it's a very long
It's a very long
It's a beautiful car
It's a vintage like BMW
Oh dope
What year?
1984 or two
84 year I was born
Yeah
There's no airbags
Yeah
There's no airbags in it
It's kind of terrible
But it's London
You're in 20 miles an hour
What's gonna happen?
Yeah
So yeah
So I got my license in Australia
When I was 16
And Australia
Australia is
we love rules for some reason
we've got so many fucking rules
and I got my license is 16
but you can't drive
alone until you've done
and logged 120 hours
over the course of the year
and then you have to do a physical
like a physical but like a
in person driving test
you have like 100% on that
then you're on your red peas and then you wait another year
and then you do another one and then you're on your green peas
and then you wait another year and then you own your full license
Christ
so I got to step one
which is
get 100% on my written exam, got my license.
License expired, left the country.
Like, I couldn't, if I wanted to get another license, I think it's like a visa thing.
I think it's like, it's because I'm not UK.
I'm like, I'm just on a talent visa.
Right, right, right.
It's like British ID.
Right, right.
And I might be making that up.
I haven't really checked.
But that's what I think is happening.
That's what I tell everyone.
So I hope it's true.
I hope I'm just, maybe I can't.
learn how to drive. Yeah, I mean, you should, you should try to... I want to learn how to drive.
I think you could probably get a, get a license, man. I hope I can get a license. Yeah, you got to get
out there. You got to drive your own car. I know. I feel like a day old. They can't drive. It's like a
child. I don't like it. Well, my wife, she moved to L.A. to move in with me. Yeah.
And she grew up in Paris. She grew up in the South of France and then moved to Paris when she
graduated school. She never had a car. Never thought about it. It's like,
living in New York.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
London is the same.
Living in the city, you know?
Yeah.
And she moved here and she was like, I need to get a car.
And I was like, okay, I was like, yeah, like I agree.
Like it's a feeling of freedom that you get when you first get behind the wheel and you drive, right?
Yeah.
And she never experienced that.
It was funny, man, because I remember when she first got her license, she was like,
you want to ride with me to dinner tonight?
And I was just like,
uh...
Wait, like she's driving?
I was like, oh man, I could take my car and then I meet you there.
She was like, you know what I'm driving me?
I was like, well, you see, it's just been a week and like...
You want, wait, wait, you want...
You wanted alone time or is she a bad driver?
I didn't know.
I was scared.
She had just got her license.
It was like a week.
She had it for like four days.
No, I get that you're doing this.
You know?
Yeah, I was like, hold it from.
Because I know myself.
Right?
I know like,
yeah.
I know I'm not going to be able to sit there and just be quiet.
I'm going to be like, you know, and I don't want to be like that with her.
You don't want to stress her out and stress yourself that.
Then you're in an argument and you're in the middle of highway.
And then you get to dinner and you're both like, well.
And then you drive the car on the way back.
Yeah, I got to drive the car on the way back, you know.
It was intense driving with her.
It was, but now she's, she's ill with it.
She knows how to park.
She's great.
Parallel.
Parallel park.
She says she still has some trouble with that, but she's,
So far, she's, she's doing a good job.
She hasn't gotten into the accidents or anything.
But I get it, you know, like, but I feel like she just kind of opened up a new lifestyle having a car in L.A.
It's a skill.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And it's just the freedom that comes with it.
It's just so dope.
Yeah, I'm very jealous of people who can drive.
Man, you got to drive that car.
It's not like you got a dope-ass car.
It was such a nice car.
Yeah.
I would look so good driving it.
Yeah.
You've got to do it.
You've got to drive it.
I've got to drive it.
I mean, at least just like.
She's so beautiful.
At least just like take it out around the corner.
Like learn how to drive it first.
I think my partner would freak out.
I think like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Don't cry.
Because we leave in London.
We had like tiny little streets.
I drove it in the countryside.
We got to go to a parking lot.
Like on a back lane.
They just happened to be like, take me to a parking lot.
Okay.
Let me.
You convinced me to get my license.
Yeah, man.
Yeah.
It's such a dope feeling, man.
Especially when you were in an old school driving around.
People.
People will stop us and just will they'll honk,
they're throwing your window and they're like,
you have such a pretty car.
They'll be like, I don't how to drive in this car.
People like smile.
It's nice.
Yeah.
I mean, I had a 1969 Mercedes cabriolet convertible.
Wow.
Cherry Red, right?
It literally, like when I had the radio on and just you hear the static and shit
and you're going up the hill and the little light is in the dash.
And like you literally feel like you're in the 60s.
That's a convertible.
Like, yeah.
That's so fun.
It's so fire.
And I remember I had it for like, I had it for like six or seven years.
But my brother had my nephew and I wanted to give him like a present.
So I like kind of like, well, I sold the car.
I gave it back to the dealership and just took the money and gave him to my brother.
That's so nice of you.
Well, you know, I was really excited for him and it was his first kid.
And, you know, I love my brother.
I wanted to hold him down, you know.
Oh, that's so nice.
car man i will be lying if i miss that car for sure i try to think about getting it back but the the spot
that i got it from is not there no more and look if it's meant to be it'll come back everything will
life is a circle it will always look back yeah i've seen you at events and you are pretty fucking fresh
what do you mean you have great fashion taste oh thank you yeah yeah yeah and i saw you in that custom
chanelle supergirl sweater shit like that was pretty fucking fly yeah it's cute
Yeah, man. So tell me, like, what are some of your favorite brands? Like, who do you, what do you fuck with?
Who do I fuck with? Yeah, when you go all shopping. I'm a big fan of Miu. Nice. I have like, I have like an obsession with like vintage bags that I find. I went to Japan and was like, I need to buy absolutely everything. That is here. But yeah, I think Paris is like great vintage. I love like design of vintage. I think that's like really good. Yeah. I just.
I like shoes and bags.
I love it.
I got these in Kyoto.
Uh-oh.
Fire.
I was very, like, anti the tabby, but they're actually, they're so fucking comfortable.
Yeah, no, they look pretty fucking fresh.
And they have, like, the boot ones for guys that, like, it kind of, it's like a Chelsea boot kind of, you know what I mean?
Super dope.
What's one actor that you love so much that you will see anything that they're in?
Ooh.
Wow.
You know that there's that one actor where you're like, oh, so-and-so.
Like, for me, it's like Denzel.
Denzel's your guy.
Or like Christian Bell or.
He's fam.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Like people like that, you know?
Ooh.
I think Emma Stone is pretty, like, untouchable.
Definitely.
She's just so good.
She's fantastic.
Consistently.
Yeah.
Like since like easy.
Like for decades.
She's been kind of fucking, she's been doing it.
She's been doing it.
She's got no duds.
She's got no dots.
And she's like, she's funny and she can also, she can also do accents, which I think a lot of American actors like never do.
Never do accents.
So I think she-
American actors that could do accents is rare.
Because they don't have to do accents.
It's always like people that are not from America do the best accents.
Like I find that, you know?
Because I've seen like a couple American actors like try to do a British accent or just try to like, just try to like,
you know, do something other than American
and you can tell like, oh, this is an American
trying to sound British or
you know what I mean? Yeah.
But I'm kind of jealous.
Like, I wish I was like...
You can learn how to do an accent.
I think I could do...
I think I could do...
I think I could do a British accent,
which brings me to my next segment of the show.
I wrote a script, right?
I'm writing this movie called In the Shire.
And basically...
Okay.
Basically, it's a goofy-ass fucking movie.
And I have this scene in the movie that I wanted you to read with me.
It's like two pages long.
Okay.
And basically it's the story is I play this this villager named Artex who was destined to be like the chosen one.
But like grew to his 40s and has not done anything with his life.
And he's just kind of like this kind of like a loaf that this kind of smokes weed and doesn't do shit with his life.
Yeah.
But like at this point in the story, his dad has told him like, yo, you're the chosen.
and still don't give up.
And everybody around him is kind of like encouraging him
and letting him know that like, you know,
just kind of have faith that when it happens, it'll happen, you know?
And this scene right here is this girl Lillith, who you would play.
Okay.
Meets him at the Poppy Fields because he promised her
that he would show her the Poppy Fields where he works at.
I just wanted you to read it with me.
It's really dope.
But I want you to put on like the House of Dragons accent.
Oh, my English accent.
Oh, my God.
I haven't done it in English.
accent in news.
Oh, look, I've never done an English accident.
You're going to do one with me?
I'm going to do one too.
Oh, thank God.
Exterior Poppy Fields Day.
Artex and Lilith are sitting at the top of a hill surrounded by poppy flowers.
It's so beautiful here.
So, you came just to see the Poppy Fields.
And I wanted to see those remarkable swords and daggers you make.
The father was looking for you in the village earlier.
Really?
I wonder what for?
You shouldn't keep avoiding your father.
I'm not avoiding my father.
I just have no time for his tales.
What if his tales are true?
Cry to the gods, you too.
Keep it together.
Cry to the gods.
You too.
Come now, Lilith.
You cannot possibly believe anything he tells you.
Artax, you can't run away from fate.
I know how you feel.
I know you feel inadequate.
Lilith.
Wait, please, listen.
There's something in you that you don't see
like a blind fox, not knowing which way to go.
But if you follow your heart, follow your instincts, you'll find your way.
I don't even know how to begin, Lennith.
How do I start?
When the time is right, you'll know.
How the fuck did you shoot in a nine days?
That's insane.
Yeah, so the movie is about a man who's homeless and he's an addict living on the streets.
It's 24 hours in his life, right?
So we were just using natural light, all that, right?
And we were able to like, we had two cameras.
We were able to get a lot done really fast.
Yeah.
For me, I do like three or four takes tops and then move on.
That's so scary.
I just wrote with the director who does that.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
No, no, no.
I feel you.
I feel you.
But this, I mean, for anything else, I guess it would have been stressful,
but this was my movie and I knew like exactly what I wanted to do, like the choices, you know?
It was kind of like guerrilla style shooting, which adds to the kind of tone and worlds that you're creating.
Yeah. And if you see it, you'll understand. Like it's, it's, you know, I want to get it to you. I want you to see it.
Yeah, I would love to see it. I think you would really like it. But I find that this new chapter for me with writing and directing my own films is really exciting because, you know, I've been, people don't even notice, but I've been writing scripts since 2013.
I've just been like coming up with ideas
and trying to get things made
and some things I've gotten made, some things I haven't.
But this is the first time I've directed something
and written and starred in it.
And I score it as well.
Yeah.
So it's like it's, I really enjoy creating my own worlds.
And I don't think I'm going to ever do
something as serious as this movie that I just did.
Yeah, that's so heavy.
Yeah, because there were a lot of really nervous.
these scenes in the movie where I was having a hard time just like being in that place mentally.
Yeah.
You know, because like his drug of choice was cracked.
So like, you know, it's doing that on the street in broad daylight in front of people and like
the cameras across the street so nobody knows.
And you're wearing all these hats as well.
You're directing and you're like written it.
And then there's like, I don't know, I assume that you're kind of like having to come
part mentalize. I think it's really difficult as an act. It's acting is so embarrassing.
Yeah. It's so. Yeah. It's so embarrassing. And having to just surrender to to, to,
to doing that is quite a vulnerable experience. That's so cool. Yeah. It's, it's, you know,
it's a really close story to my heart. It's something I've dealt with in my personal life with
family. And it was my way of trying to understand them better. Yeah. And, you know, but
this is, you know, going to be my one and done when it comes to, like, serious drama.
Yeah.
You know, my personality like you've seen already.
I'm just really goofy.
You're fun yet.
You know what I'm saying?
And I want to kind of make more lighthearted, fun stuff.
Yeah.
But then again, I got, like, horror movies that I want to write, too, that I've started that are, like, really gnarly.
But that's because I'm a big horror fan.
You're a horror fan?
Yeah.
Are you a horror fan?
No.
Really?
I don't like to be scared.
I don't like that shit, man.
I don't be like, you know, what I want to feel right now.
Really anxious.
Really anxious and afraid of the dog.
It's just not something that I...
But I love genre.
Okay.
And genre kind of bleeds into horror.
I think genre is great.
I think it's like exciting.
Would you...
Would you do a horror movie, though?
I would do a horror movie.
Okay.
Yeah, I just don't like to watch them.
It's funny because, like, I know how it's made.
Like, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's fake.
So it's not...
Like, me and my friends, I went around to my friends flat, and we were all watching, what was it, Begonia?
And there's like the scene where there's like a very, like bloody murder scene.
And we were all lying on the floor with a duvet.
And my friend was screaming.
She was like, no, no, no.
And I was like, okay, so it's a rubber.
It's a rubber axe.
And then they would have a melon and they would turn it around.
It's a fake face.
It was like the face beating scene.
Yeah, yeah.
Pommel his face.
That movie's gnarly.
And I'd like to explain it to her.
So she was so scared.
But I don't necessarily like to watch.
Horror films.
Yeah, I feel you.
I feel you.
Like, I think my obsession with horror movies came when I was a kid.
And it was mostly because they used to scare the shit out of me, but I was intrigued.
Like, I still was curious.
Like, I knew that a Freddie Cougar movie would creep me the fuck out.
But yet, I was still, like, curious about seeing it.
Yeah.
Well, there's an excitement.
Yeah, exactly.
There's, like, a weird seduction.
Yeah.
To be like, oh, my God, I was like, ah!
Like, you know what?
Ah!
Got me!
Got me!
Got me!
You know, like, and some of them are also, like, camp.
Yeah.
And silly and great, like, especially old horror.
Yeah.
You're like, that is so wackadoodle.
Like the Evil Dead movies, like, you know, which are my favorites.
Yeah.
A lot of horror movies.
Like, the Evil Dead movies were the first couple that I saw as a kid, like seven years old, you know.
Whoa.
Yeah.
Like, I shouldn't have been watching this shit in seven years old.
No, you should not have.
But it's okay.
But it's bad you love for horror films.
Yeah, exactly.
And, like, even my.
daughter like right so when my daughter was eight years old like I showed her her first R rated
horror movie why are why like straight to ah no because she had like it was it it was the it
remake oh that was scary yeah but it was like this is a remake hey she I'm sure you're a great
dad she's your kid you can do what you want well yeah yeah no no I'm the best dad I'm sure
you're though you seem like you'd be the best now she's like she's into it she loves horror movies
And you can bond over that.
Yeah.
Oh, that's so cool.
That was one of the things that, like, it was video games and horror movies.
It was like two things that I wanted to mold her into, like, liking.
Yeah.
And, like, I got her video games early.
Then I put her on the horror movies early.
And now at 16, she's like, loves horror movies, loves video games, you know?
That's so nice.
It's dope.
Like, but it's kind of backfire because now she's like me.
Like, shit doesn't scare.
Nothing scares her.
And I don't think anything, like, even when I would show her stuff and when she was,
as a kid, like, she would be the type to sit back and be like, he's stupid.
Why is he going in that room?
You know he's going to kill you?
Like, she would just be watching the movie, like, commentating.
I'm just rolling.
It was, like, the best experience for her watching movies.
Yeah.
But I don't think she ever really truly had nightmares.
Her mom would always be like, okay, you could let her watch those movies.
Is that the goal?
Yeah.
You're like, it's, I wanted to have really terrifying nightmares, you know.
Yeah, but maybe it's like what you were saying.
It's like a curiosity thing now.
It's like morphed into this new appreciation of art, I guess.
Yeah, yeah.
What's a horror movie that scared you the most?
What's the one that, like, turned you off a horror, period?
Like, you just, I can't do this.
I think my dad, when I was very little, made me watch, like, all three.
It didn't make me.
I was watching them with him.
All three alien movies, like, back to back, like the original.
I just scared the shit out of me.
That was a scary movie.
Yes.
And the little girl in that room and she couldn't leave that room, there was all that trash.
I just remember that so vividly.
There was all that trash.
And she was the trash girl.
That movie really, that movie really scared me.
And I was like, I don't want to be.
Those movies were gnarly.
You know, sci-by-harr is, is, the alien movies are always pretty good.
Yeah.
The original and the new ones, but they were just like iconic.
Crazy, dope.
Okay, this is the wrap-up.
This is, I do this that every time I get to the end of the show, I just ask rapid fire questions.
Okay, go.
Just fun questions, right?
Yeah.
What's one thing you nerd out about that might surprise people?
What's one thing that I nerd out about?
I'm not, I would say one thing at, what do I?
I've lost all sense of identity just with that question alone.
It's one thing I nerd out about.
Probably just like the technical aspect of making a film I find really interesting.
Yeah.
Like when you're in it and just being an observer and just being.
You know, I think like as an actor, something that I really try and do is being a participant collaborator in what's going around.
Right.
Like, we're all there to serve the story the best way that we can.
Right.
You know what I mean?
And I love when you get on a film set and you're a few weeks in and there's this like incredible flow.
You don't have to look at someone and you're all just kind of like in this beautiful machine together.
Yeah.
It's probably that.
Nice.
Yeah.
Nice.
Okay.
In honor, Supergirl, name three things that are Millie Cryptonite.
Millie Cryptonite.
That means I die.
Yeah, it's bad for you.
What is your kryptonite?
Like, is it like a sweet?
Is it like certain cookie from somewhere?
It's just like...
What's bad?
Yeah.
What's bad?
What's bad?
I'm really into Lao Gamma.
I feel like don't know this today as well.
What is that?
Dude, it's this crispy chili oil.
It's phenomenal.
I'm like obsessed with it.
I will go through a jaw a week.
It's like a bad obsession.
It's so good.
It's amazing.
It's just got this like little lady on the front.
Do I need to try this?
You need to try it.
Okay.
You need to try it.
Okay.
Yeah.
It's amazing.
So probably that.
Um, a martini.
Martini.
And a cigarette.
Yeah.
I'm a simple girl.
Yeah.
I love it.
I love it.
Yeah.
I think the theme of this episode is rock and roll.
Rock and roll.
What do you think is rock and roll?
Man, martini and the cigarette is pretty rock and roll.
No, but like what's rock and roll?
And like, so like.
What's the essence?
What does it mean to me?
Like, for me, rock and roll is like analog.
single mom's rock and roll
you know what I mean?
Like jaywalking rock and roll
You know what I mean?
Breeding,
because this kind of rock and roll is kind of like
It's both.
It's kind of like lame
But it's also like kind of like
Yeah, it's kind of but it's like if it's lame
It's like you don't give a fuck that it's lame.
Exactly.
That's the rock and rollness of it.
Yeah.
If you could travel back in time to see one musician
or band live in their prime, who would it be?
Amy Winehouse, for sure.
Okay.
100%.
Yeah.
Maybe Frank.
Album.
Not back to black because that was a dark time.
Yeah.
I think it would be sad watching her in that.
Yeah.
But that.
Great choice.
What's the movie you've seen recently you would recommend?
No other choice.
Snubbed.
Phenomenal.
One of the best films I saw.
I think it was the best film that I saw last year.
It's kind of like about this family man who has it all.
like two kids, a beautiful house that he grew up in, he owns it, and basically he loses his job.
And it's about him, like, how far will a father go to get his job?
And it deals with, like, class and, like, what are we going to right now?
Recession and everything.
And it's just, like, so silly and amazing and serious.
It's awesome.
Okay, I'm going to have to check that out.
Go see it.
I put that question in there specifically because I was looking for something.
You're like, when are I going to watch tonight?
I was like, I'll ask Millie.
Yeah, yeah.
She'll give me a good one.
Yeah.
What are your top five favorite movies of all time?
And this is in no particular order.
No, I don't want to be judged.
Yeah, no, no, no, no.
Being John Malkovich.
Yes, that's a great one.
That's a great one.
The producers, the original producers, the Gene Walter one.
I love it.
Blue Valentine.
Yes.
How many have we done?
Three?
Probably no other choice, honestly.
I would say that's one of my favorite
whole time.
And then,
what's another?
Candy.
Candy's an Australian film.
It was like shot on my street
with Heath Ledger and Abby Cornish.
Okay.
So that's like a scent that's like,
oh my God,
that's where I grew up.
Nice, nice, nice.
I'm going to have to check that out.
That's the one out of your list
that I didn't know about.
Yeah.
Okay.
Who's your big bro or big sis
in the movie business right now?
Do you have somebody that's like,
You don't have a big bro, big sis?
No.
What the fuck?
I know it's really, I'm trying to find one.
All my friends are like normal people.
Yeah.
Which is great, which is great.
Like, you know, but then it's such an isolating industry.
Yeah.
You know?
And I feel like I'm just kind of, I'm just kind of getting into it now.
Even though I did a big show a few years ago, but it's not like that sense of community is something that is built over time.
Right.
And obviously being from Australia, you're already removed.
And then the London scene is very different.
Right.
To like the scene here, I imagine.
So I don't really haven't yet.
Well, well, I'm your big bro from you.
You can be my big bro?
Yeah, I'm, I got you back.
Thank you so much.
Yeah, yeah.
We locked in.
We locked in.
All right, so I need to know, because I was told that you're a fan of my music.
What's your favorite Kid Cutty song or album?
I mean, the pursuit of happiness.
Like, it's so iconic.
It's like, hold on, wait, wait, wait, which one, the remix of the original?
Because they both, they both, for me, they both hold it up very specific.
big place in my heart. Okay. Because the original, that's how the song was born, like,
that's how it was first created. And that was how people first knew about the song, right?
Yeah. But the remix took on the life of its own where it represented like a generation.
It was like a cultural. Yeah. It's your brat. Yeah. Exactly. Yeah. Like I was experiencing my
like back in 2010. How was that to like reflect a culture with a song?
Man, I think...
Did you have an intuition that it was going to be big?
No.
No?
I think for me, what was fucked up for me at first,
because I wrote the song Pursuit of Happiness,
to me it was a dark record.
Like the things that I was talking about on the song,
like drinking and driving and being reckless and all these things,
it wasn't like I was like trying to celebrate that.
And then the remix happened,
and then it kind of became a celebratory thing, you know?
And that fucked me up for,
several years after I just kind of didn't understand it.
And then I kind of, when Project X came out.
Yeah.
When Project X came out and they used it in that way, I was like, oh.
You understand.
Yeah, it made it crystal clear for me.
I was like to, because I knew kids raised to it.
I knew it was a party song.
But like to see that they used it at that moment in the movie
where the kids are like at their peak, they're having their most fun.
and they're being their most reckless.
Yeah.
And they're just being young.
Yeah.
Like that, it just crystallized the whole shit in my mind.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
And I started to appreciate it.
And now, like, I can't do a show unless I perform that song.
You know?
So that's dope that you're missing that.
Yeah.
Yeah, definitely.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
What's your biggest moonshot, a goal, a dream, or an ambition that might seem impossible?
It might seem impossible.
honestly I'd love to like own a vineyard and a beautiful house in like the south of France
I'm ready to get out as soon as I am in I am out as soon as I am in I am out same like this it's
so cool this is awesome this is amazing this is exciting it's not real life yeah exactly I feel you
yeah so just like reconnecting with like what really matters and like living a completely
different kind of way of life and I think that way way way way down
the line and I want to learn French.
Nice. Nice.
I don't want to, I'm going to die one day.
I don't want to die and like not be bilingual.
I feel you.
I feel you.
I feel you.
My wife is French.
I'm taking French lessons.
Amazing.
She grew up in the South of France.
Yeah.
And our goal is the one day have a house somewhere in the South of France or in Paris.
So like that's like a goal.
So when you said that I was like, yes.
Yeah.
I feel you.
Then we can be neighbors.
Yeah.
And I'll have somebody that I know out there.
Yeah.
We can try each other's wine.
Yeah, yeah, straight up.
Does your daughter speak French?
No, well, actually, no, she's in French class.
She just went to Paris with her French class.
Okay.
Like, she said, actually, she told me his story.
She's like, so dad, I was like, so were you using France when you were out?
She was like, well, I tried.
And they were speaking back to me in English.
Yeah.
They were just like, I'm not playing this game with you.
The French do that.
Yeah.
See somebody trying and then just like, what do you want to drink?
Yeah.
Yeah.
They don't get.
Poor baby.
I was like, it's cool, man.
You'll get there.
But yeah, she's learning the language.
She knows more about it than me.
That's so cool.
But it's cool.
Her and my wife have a little bond and they sometimes
my wife will text her French and she'll respond back in France.
That's so cool.
That's so cool.
Yeah, yeah.
Last question.
Who's a guest that you think I should have on the show?
