Starting point is 00:01:43 Oh, I see. Wow. Boen, look over there. Wow, is that culture? Oh, goodness. Wow. Las cultureistas. Ding dong!
Starting point is 00:01:52 Las Culturistas calling. Get tactile with me right now. Get tactile. Here we are. Bowen Yang. a very special episode. Why is that? Because 10 years ago this week, we started this podcast.
Starting point is 00:02:05 That's crazy. Feel silly to me. 10 years? Well, I mean, we're not helping with this whole like 2016 nostalgia thing going on right now. Yeah, there is a lot of that. I mean, I was going to ask, like, where were you 10 years ago? But no, but we literally can't say. We were in our friends.
Starting point is 00:02:22 Alex Ramsey's apartment with a mattress in the window to keep out the sound. That was our soundproof. at the time. And we are now 10 years later sitting here with our guests. Look at that. Look at God. And I got to say look at God. Because she's with us in the room. She's here. I don't know that we could have booked a better guest for our 10 year anniversary, a podcast about pop culture. Right. You'd think that the 10 year is going to happen. We probably should get a full-blown pop culture icon in here. Yeah. I did my thing of like, I'm going to watch a project that our guest is in. I'm going to go back and revisit the classics.
Starting point is 00:02:57 It's the sort of decision paralysis thing that happens with, I think, our guest, where I'm sure she's used to this by now where everyone's like, I loved you and then they must sort of short circuit and then like explode. So I picked, I was very happy with To Die For and the others, which I, and then I watched the criterion collection featurette where there's something I want to ask. She mentioned something that I want to ask her about, which is that she almost quit because she was like, I can't do this. This is a woman who is awful to her children, not a spoiler alert. But you know what I mean? Well. Well, it's the others. If you've seen the others.
Starting point is 00:03:36 If you know, you know. I went for something old, something new. I went for final two episodes of Big Little Eyes, Season 1. Perfect. And I went for eyes wide shut, which I had never seen. Uh-huh. And boy, are there questions. As a result of this list of projects.
Starting point is 00:03:53 But there are approximately a million roles that our guest has been incredible in. Indelible. Not just as an actress as a producer. I mean, fashion icon, et cetera. Arguably best performance is the Chanel number five commercial. Oh. Which, yes, this is a podcast that's going to bring it up. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:04:13 Our 10-year anniversary special and our guest is the one, the only, Nicole Kidman. It was so hard to stay quiet through that. You stayed very stoic. You were very good. Did you see me? Mm. You take direction. I was like, yeah, you told me to shut up.
Starting point is 00:04:29 But then when we said Chanel number five commercial, you did, you did jump up. Well, Baz just texted me. Did he? Literally. So you must have been telepathically picking something out. We were just talking about him, actually. We were just talking about it. Oh, my Bazzy.
Starting point is 00:04:42 My Bazzy. We love Bazzy. Wonderful. His nickname for me is Dear One. Dear one. Isn't that a lovely nickname? Has that been for. Just always.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Due one. Just always. Yeah. So elegant. Same number of syllables is Nicole. but sure somehow you want is nicer
Starting point is 00:05:01 I can say he has a nickname for me because I met him at an event and his nickname for me is I kid you not you bitch you bitch because
Starting point is 00:05:11 it's how he thinks he's going to book the podcast he wants to come on the podcast He got to have him on the car of course we do we're just negging him he likes
Starting point is 00:05:21 he is he's a bell because he sent me the loveliest email after Ariana Grande and I did this Mulan Rouge sketch. You guys.
Starting point is 00:05:32 No, no, but it was kind of the best thing, best outcome possible was to like be able to like be in conversation with him. Anyway, I mean, he's rivet. I mean, all you want to do is be the center of his universe. So when you drop from that spot, it's very painful. Oh, my gosh. It's like when you're in his orbit, it's something else. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:54 You know, yeah. I have to say, I think Moulon Rouge, was like, we asked that question a lot. Like, what was the culture that made you say culture was for you? And Mulan Rouge came out in 2000. So it was just around the time when we were starting to be like, I'm going to watch a movie that my parents don't know I'm going to watch. And my mother would see the trailer from Mulan Rouge.
Starting point is 00:06:13 And she would say, that looks racy. That looks very racy. And I was like, I went into fifth grade and I told my teacher, my mom says Mulan Rouge looks racy. And she was like, well, you know, it might be a little racy. Well, that's sort of about what it's about. But then you watch it About, yeah
Starting point is 00:06:29 Post to 2. A cortisone. Yeah, it's about a cortisone. A cortisone and consumption. That's right. The consumption. Racy topics. The greatest consumption death put on celluloid, I think.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Oh, what made. Can we talk about it? Okay, and even people on the team are like. You're like gagged. Just the consumption of it all. And then I get carried, though, in feathers, pink feathers. Come on. Yes.
Starting point is 00:06:57 I get to fly on a trapeze in sequence with men underneath me with top hats. Pretty good. Badass. Badass. And then I get to die and be held by Ewan McGregor singing to me. But I also get to get carried in pink feathers, right? Pink feathers seem to be. Oh, that's really lovely.
Starting point is 00:07:18 A lot of wish fulfillment there. Yeah, it was just so exquisite. And also, like, the soundtrack that was birthed from. LaMroge, I think that that doesn't get enough respect to put on its name because all bangers on that soundtrack. Yeah, well, he's just a music whiz. Yeah. So, I mean, Baz is classically built in terms of all his knowledge and the way in which he's been trained. And then he talked about culture and pop culture.
Starting point is 00:07:49 Then he's able to enter the zeitgeist, though. But he's got all his education and classical training, kind of the best of the best. He's a fount. Who else do we want to talk about? Enough about Fas. Well, you mostly. It's going to be you. Let's move on. I'm going to tie it back to you because I just throw someone at me and I'll answer anything.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Nicole Kidman. How about that? Because I feel like, help me, I'm boring. Come on. The reason why, I think the reason why you've had this incredibly illustrious career is because. Random career. It's all so random.
Starting point is 00:08:23 But random in the best way. Like, I love that we never know where we're going to get from you. It is. random. Scarpetta, March 11th on Prime. Today? Today. I think it's...
Starting point is 00:08:33 Ballet, binge. I know you're not meant to binge things, but binge. Do you think it's a binger? I think this is a binger. Yeah. If you like binging. Love. I like binging.
Starting point is 00:08:43 It comes, you know, it's not healthy, but I love it. Yeah. Yeah. What good thing is. Huh? Yeah, just watch it. Okay. Watch it and watch it and watch it and watch it and done.
Starting point is 00:08:54 Perfect couple I binged. Netflix made that easy. Right. Right. Okay, well, hopefully this makes it easy too. Jamie Lee and I. Jamie Lee or Yarnah, Bobby, kind of, and he just, he is, um,
Starting point is 00:09:09 Cremdala Crem. And then Simon Baker. I've had a crush on him for years. Yeah, you and everyone else. And everyone else. Well, he was famously, he holds a place in gay culture because he was Will's boyfriend on Will and Grace. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Yes. He was like the tough talk. No, I think he was a firefighter, right? Or was he a cop? He was one. He was gorgeous. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:29 He's not aged at all. No, right. No. Uh-uh. Look, some people have it. Rose Brown is very lucky. Oh, she's the best. We were watching clips of her and Kristen Whig going back and forth in an outtake reel and bridesmaids right before you walked in.
Starting point is 00:09:42 I was just talking about that. That is my daughter and I. We watch bridesmates when we're feeling down. Whenever we need a lift. Yeah. We watch it. We recite it. We act it out and we do that in the kitchen.
Starting point is 00:09:54 And that is our go-to saving. That's our savior film. That's your savior film. Yeah, to pull us out of a funk. Of course. 100%. There's an underappreciated, that's a new vocal stem for me, which is a Roseburn line in that, which is after like the toast off. Roseburn goes, dessert wine is out.
Starting point is 00:10:12 Do you know what I'm talking about? It's such a funny little like. Desert wine is out. Desert wine is out. We were blown away by like the patronizing way she looks at Kristenwig whenever she's trying to say like an accomplishment of hers. Just like the wide open. I'm like, mm-hmm. Wow.
Starting point is 00:10:28 You're a train wreck. Get the hook. Get the hook. Exactly. Perfect. Oh, but I just, okay. Yeah. I was going to pay you the compliment and then I was going to transition into.
Starting point is 00:10:39 I'll take it back. No way. Yeah, get the hook. Do you get this? Do people say that you don't, do you receive a compliment well? I'm trying to. It's not an Australian attribute. Like we always have to, yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:52 Humility is very important. But also, it's just hard to take compliment. because the last thing you want is to be seen as big-headed, right? Right, of course. You have to always come in under. But I'm learning to take the strokes. Yeah. Because it feels good.
Starting point is 00:11:07 I mean, you worked hard. You worked hard for it. Give me something. Give me a crumb. We do this too much, some might say, is that we fond too much, which we'll keep to a minimum. But I think the reason why, because you're talking about BAS being so plugged into the culture, I feel like you have that same sense, too, of just knowing.
Starting point is 00:11:26 when something is a worthwhile, not even worthwhile, is just a risk period, right? I feel like this randomness that you're talking about is just risk. And it's curiosity. Okay. It's desire. It's, and it's always just being willing to try things and jump off the cliff. That would be the way in which I approach things. But I want to have fun.
Starting point is 00:11:54 Yeah. I grew up in a family that had a slight bohemian quality to it, but it was a very intellectual family. So I was taken to see all sorts of theatre and opera and art. I was raised on culture. And my mother loved fashion. My grandmother could sew and knit and embroider. And they play piano and spoke French and all those things that you go, oh, okay, teach me. But they were socially conscious and sort of just an interesting group of people to have been born into.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yeah. And to be launched into the world by. So things that were fascinating were around you? There weren't boundaries. There were. Right. In terms of sometimes my mother would have a strict moral coden and at other times you'd be like, huh? But there was a huge, there wasn't a lot of judgment.
Starting point is 00:12:48 The barriers were taken away and you could express all sorts of thoughts and ideas. in terms of philosophy or secrets or, and some of my greatest moments were curled up in my mom's bed, sort of us both sharing human, just humanness and ideas. And I nursed her through cancer, and so I saw all of that. I saw losing her hair. I saw a 50-year marriage and the way that unfurled as it went along with truth and honesty. kind of interesting, right? And she gave me insight into what it was to be, just to be alive.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Yeah. And I could ask her anything and my dad as well. Oh. So that's a really good basis to start life from, right? Yeah, 100%. But I'm just... Sorry to get serious. No, no.
Starting point is 00:13:45 Thank you. What? This is meant to be funny. No, but literally, like, sometimes I watch your movies and I think when she got the script for this, like, there's no way to really see it. Like Moulin Rouge, for example, like the whole first half hour of Moulin Rouge, it moves so fast. And it is so crazy.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Like the scene where you're changing in the tent with Jim Broadbent and you're sort of like trying on your different personas at stuff, it's got to be impossible to see. But I guess then for you, that's just like thinking and trusting of the director. Because I feel like that drives you a lot, right? Totally. And because he and Catherine Martin, see him, the two. Two of them, they had a beautiful big house that they would create in, and that's where we would rehearse. And there was very much a bohemian quality to the way they create their art. And so when you're brought into that, you spend six weeks workshopping. But prior to that,
Starting point is 00:14:42 I'd done a photo shoot for Vogue with them, and I'd seen their work growing up in Australia and watched them morph into who they were. And they were just like these crazy talented... I mean, Baz was an actor. And a really good actor. Yeah, I bet. He's in a film called Winter of Our Dreams with Judy Davis, and he's fantastic in it.
Starting point is 00:15:08 He plays a junkie. Oh, wow. Yeah, so there's a tip bit for you. Yeah. Go find that. I will find out. Winter, what is it? Winter of our dreams.
Starting point is 00:15:16 Winter of our dreams. Yeah. With Judy Davis, one of the great. The best. Oh my God. Yeah. So, yeah. And then CM and Baz went to NIDA, which is our National Institute of Dramatic Arts.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Yes. So. I'm getting this bohemian sort of. No, no, no. There's a bohemian element here to the way that you were raised. And I think also I'm just going to pick up on the opera piece. Opera. Because I think that I'm going to like have those two helices.
Starting point is 00:15:47 come together in terms of like it describing like the Nicole Kidman of which is like it's operatic but it is also so like artfully diverse for lack of a better term right because it's like I think in you talking about the others it's like you were like this is Medea this is yeah this is classic Greek Euripides but it's also it's this operatic kind of thing but I think that applies to a lot of your roles yeah I think what opera gives you is it gives you pathos and it gives you big emotion. And because I was taken to the opera all the time, and I would sit there with my dad and my mom, and we would cry.
Starting point is 00:16:26 I mean, and my mother would explain because she could speak Italian, she could speak French, so she would explain the stories. And the stories are, I mean, they're fantastic in the same way that Shakespeare, the Greeks, and I grew up reading Russian literature, I was obsessed with the Russians. Really? Yes. How did you come to be obsessed with that?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Because I had one of those lists of the 100 books you're meant to read, you know. Oh, okay, yeah. But I started on Dostoyevsky, and then I went, oh, hold on. And then I just kept going on Dostoevsky, and then I moved over to Tolstoy. And then before you know it, I'm obsessed with the Russians. Yeah. And I went to St. Petersburg, actually, and saw all of the places that Tolstoy had built Warren Peace around and people pointed out where, you know, Prince André, all of them.
Starting point is 00:17:17 of it and I was like, what? Yeah. So that was kind of the beginning of my artistic basis, the Russians. And then I moved over into the Bronties. Of course. Which give you the yearning. Yes, it certainly does. I'm on a moor.
Starting point is 00:17:34 I'm living on the moors. Have you seen Wethering Heights? Yes, and I loved it. I loved it. But I've read Wuthering Heights six times. Right, yeah. And I love Heathcliff. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:48 So I just, you know, and that state of yearning that the Brontys existed in, that probably was my state as a teenager and probably continues on now. It's one of the most, it's the one of the most underrated states of being. Yearning. I would agree. Because it is so, it's so painful, like, when you're in it, but then you can only be in it first. Tell me if you think this is true.
Starting point is 00:18:14 Like, I'll never yearn like I did when I was like. 15 to 25. And you don't realize that you're not going to feel that feeling as intensely anymore. Oh, I feel it. Really? I still, yeah. You still do?
Starting point is 00:18:27 Yeah, I'm in a steady yearning now. You are? And it can be towards anything or anyone. Okay. But it keeps you alive. Keeps you moving forward. Okay, I got a yearn again. Come on.
Starting point is 00:18:38 Yeah, yeah. Let's bring back the yearn. I know. I'm trying to feel like, I guess I was specifically thinking about it in terms of like Yeah, the teenage. Like romantic desire. You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Especially being closeted. It's like all you do is here. Yes. Yeah. The tingles. I know. Come on. The unrequited of it all.
Starting point is 00:18:57 Shivery Delicious. I had a line once in this film called Flirting, where I play a small role. But I just remember the description of being shivery delicious. Shivery delicious. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's really good. Shivery Delicious is title of app. Title of App.
Starting point is 00:19:15 That's actually the title of this episode. A shivery deluge! It's become. And I couldn't think of anything better. Truly. Do you have like a favorite line of dialogue you've said? I have, I mean, I've worked with the greatest writers. You truly have.
Starting point is 00:19:31 I think the hours gave me, yeah. When you're, David Hare wrote just, just exquisite dialogue. Mm-hmm. inspired by Virginia Woolf from Michael Cunningham and then directed by Stephen Doldry. But that screenplay was just beautiful. And to be able to do it justice, that monologue in the hours was...
Starting point is 00:20:00 At the train station? Oh, yeah. That was like to... And we rigorously worked that. And I have to call out the praises of Stephen Delane in that because that's so much what acting is. There's two of you in that scene. He loves her.
Starting point is 00:20:16 He wants to take her and save her in a way from herself. But she says, no, it's the right of every human being to choose. I get to choose my destiny. I get to choose. And I really believe in that. Will you direct? Because you speak like a director. I do.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Yeah, because I feel like you're really working in like the, obviously this is you being. a genius actress, but like, but what I'm saying is like you, I think, would be an actor's dream as a director because no one understands it better than you. Well, I've always, I mean, you never say never to anything because whenever I do that, that's a disaster. And then you go, oh, okay, well, I changed my mind. Yeah. My prerogative. But I love being an actor. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Right. I actually love being in the hands of a great director and a great writer. and I love being there to contribute, but to lead it, that's very difficult. That's decision-making. That is unfaltering in your vision, whereas I see all ways. So I need, okay, this is what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:21:28 Too bohemian to direct. This is where we're going, probably. You want to be amenable to all kinds of outcomes. I'm interested. I'm just interested. That's beautiful. And so I hope I always stay interested. I love asking questions more than having questions asked.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Yeah. The newest tracks. Let's go. New music. And the next big thing. Always on the new music first. Your first place to hear it all. Because you're going to like it, love, I want to play it twice.

My latest episode is with Hillary Duff, singer, actress and multi-platinum artist. Hillary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood, and releasing our first record in over 10 years.
Starting point is 00:23:38 We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry. and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family, like this picture, and that's not reality a lot of the time it's for people. My sister and I don't speak.
Starting point is 00:24:01 It's definitely a very painful part of my life, and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Chetty on the IHeart Radio, app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. So I have a question then, just because I have to tell you, again, just looping back to those things that you remember from pivotal moments in your life, I think that every queer person our age probably remembers walking into a blockbuster, and which was the video rental store where you can rent VHSs and walking over to the Batman aisle.
Starting point is 00:24:42 and seeing Dr. Chase Meridian on the cover of the Batman Forever VHS. And I'm telling you, the Veronica Lake hair, I found out something about myself seeing that picture of you on there. I was like, I need to know everything.
Starting point is 00:25:00 And I rented it again and again and again. And I watched it. And that movie, I have to say, and Batman and Ramon. Camp classics. Underrated Camp Classics, masterpieces. Yeah, Joe Schumacher.
Starting point is 00:25:11 Yes. That was, yeah, we created her together, that hair, everything. And he was like, here she is, here's Dr. Chase. Yeah. Yeah. And he probably felt the same way we did walking into the blockbuster when you walked out. I was, my dream. My whole thing was I'm not pretty enough.
Starting point is 00:25:26 Come on. No, truly. I really felt when I was doing that, that I was not pretty enough. What was the ideal? What were you trying to? What were you trying to? Veronica Lake. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:36 But I mean, also just just that sort of the, the, the, the dream, the dream blonde, right? And I did not feel like that. I've never felt like that. But that's the beauty of acting is you can pretend, create, become. Right? Which is what we love. Yeah, you can put on a wig. You can suddenly put on red lipstick and you can dress differently and put heels on and suddenly you are kind of what you would love to be. And then it all comes off again and you're back. But it's so great being able to step into that. I mean, the same was so many different characters.
Starting point is 00:26:15 But a lot of people also cite the Chanel No. 5 commercial. So they always say to me, that was, I was. I'll never. When did I wake? Into the stream. I must have been the only person in the world who didn't know who she was. I'm telling you. Are you kidding?
Starting point is 00:26:37 No, it was. On repeat, it's my favorite movie. The Chanel number five commercial starring you and Rodrigo Centoro directed by Bazelerman is my favorite film. And that pink dress?
Starting point is 00:26:51 Everything about it. Running down the street. But that's fast. There's dreams. And that's CM2. And they can just create that. That's why the pink feathers, the pink dress.
Starting point is 00:27:01 I'm a dancer. I love to do. Oh, God. Okay. Okay. It's too much for you. It is the best. And it was.
Starting point is 00:27:09 It's like, I remember being like, can I get this perfume? But no one had ever done that sort of film. I remember Carl Lagerfeld being like, I love this. He gave the thumbs up to it, which was a huge thing for Carl who was just like, sheep personified, right? Of course. And it was like, okay, but they spent an enormous amount of money on that. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:27:32 It can have been cheap. They didn't go cheap. But why go cheap when you don't? have to and you can create something iconic like that. We remember it all of those years later. I'm so glad they didn't skimp. No. I love like a big ass commercial that at the last second you find out was about something that had nothing to do with it. Nothing to do with this story. It's perfect. It's like it's how it should be. It's because at that point it's like you're not being duped into buying something. You're just in the world. You've already bought it. You've already bought it because
Starting point is 00:28:05 you're in the world of the thing. But can I ask on the acting note? on this love of acting. I was watching this feature, this featurette on the others for the criterion collection, which it entered that a couple years ago. But you were... Congrats.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Of course. But you were saying that you almost said no. No, I said yes and then I said no. But that you also... That this is your usual process. You kind of said that this is like something that happens, not a lot, but it's...
Starting point is 00:28:33 I try not to do it now because it's incredibly frustrating and irritating for people. But it's... For production for the life. producer. For everybody. Like, what?
Starting point is 00:28:42 But forget other people. It's like, because I think you were acknowledging it as part of your process, right? Like, oh, for anything that is kind of maybe scaring you a little bit, like that is part of how you approach it. Like, you're saying you don't do it anymore now, but like what was it? No, I still do it. Okay, great. I just do it less. You're aware.
Starting point is 00:28:58 Great, great. Yeah, you know, the first step to healing is awareness. Yes. Perfect. So I'm on the road. You're on the road. Can you tell the, like, do you understand that now as a thing of like, this is just something about going through it? Well, that particularly was, I was making Moul-on-Rouge when I agreed to do it.
Starting point is 00:29:19 So I was Sotene when I read Grace, which is, you know, the others, the character and the others. So I had not delved psychologically into her because I'd accepted in a different state of being. that being said, I then arrive over there and I'm like, oh my God, I've got to now start prepping this woman who kills her children. Yeah, so different. No, I don't want to do this. I'm like, I don't want to do this. I do not want to kill the children. So then you go back to is it killing the children or is it saving the children?
Starting point is 00:29:58 Yeah. So as soon as I could shift into, oh, I'm saving the children. even though that is so insane and crazy, it was choosing to save them from terrible pain, then I could motivate into the role. Does that make sense? It makes sense. And was that something you found with Alejandro?
Starting point is 00:30:22 Or is that something that you... And with the acting coach I work with and the way in which my nervous system and the way in which I approach something, I have to feel it. If I don't feel it, I'm going to be faking it and then I'm no good. So I have to somehow find this weird state of being
Starting point is 00:30:40 that keeps it real even though I'm still existing in life with my feet on the ground. You're indicating your stomach there. It comes from in here. It's all body work. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the emotions are in your body. Yeah. So where do you find them?
Starting point is 00:30:56 Yeah. Yeah. I guess that's a really good thing to remember too is if your body is telling your brain something that probably means more than you know. Well, you know, a lot of times you'll go, especially with trauma and stuff, where do you feel it in your body? And so it's a really great way to approach a character. Where do you feel them in your body? Yeah, that's interesting.
Starting point is 00:31:16 Yeah, is it here? Is it in the chest? What happens? Is it in the gut? Is it in the groin? Is it in where is it? Yeah. And let's start from there.
Starting point is 00:31:26 I sound kind of crazy. No. No, but you don't at all. Like, I feel like that that is sort of an answer to my question of like, what? would compel you to say yes to certain scripts because, for example, something like Destroyer or like the Paperboy, it's like you'd read these things and be like, huh? But then the huh of it sort of is a guttural instinct. And so it's not, oh, I don't feel comfortable with that.
Starting point is 00:31:55 So I'm going to say no to it. It's I feel uncomfortable with that. Let me listen to that. And Charlotte Blessay in the Paperboy. I mean, that was just, she's a. all like, she's sex. She's wild. She's wild. She's all body. She's all like she's, you know, and I wanted to go, and we were shooting down there in, um, in Louisiana. Yeah. In the heat. Truly. And it's swampy noir. And that's kind of great to go and do something with Lee Daniels, do swampy noir. And Zach Efron,
Starting point is 00:32:27 not bad. Yeah. Dancing in the rain. Yeah. Yeah. And sitting out in front of the prison with my feet up on the dashboard. And yeah. It's just kind of like, yeah, she's a cat. She's wild. She's wild. And then you get to be wild. Wild in Louisiana swamps. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:32:43 They always say live a normal life. And then in your imaginary life, you can do whatever you want. Yeah. That's the coolest thing. Part of your normal. So I'm very normal. Yes. Well, part of your normal life was going to Antarctica.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Yeah, there's a not. We're connected. I can't believe we both did it. You just missed each other. We just missed you. We were on the same. So. Everyone, Nicole and I were on the same vessel, but at different times.
Starting point is 00:33:10 Mm-hmm. I went before you. You went before me. And people on the ship, people, first of all, can we just shout out the loveliest crew on the Silver Sea, Silver Cloud? Oh, my gosh, right? The loveliest, loveliest people. Yeah. And it just felt like this wonderful, like, well, our boat was.
Starting point is 00:33:30 Tell me your story. Okay. Had you end up in Antarctica. Who were you with? and why did you go? Okay. And then I would love to hear your version as well. Of course, obviously.
Starting point is 00:33:41 I just got back yesterday. Yesterday. Yesterday. So it's all so present. I woke up this morning still feeling the sway of the Drake Passage. Like my brain is still used to being rocked by the current. By the big currents. By the big currents.
Starting point is 00:34:01 So it's my mom. And the smell of penguins. And the smell of penguins. shit. That's not the most alluring smell. It breaks the majesty of the penguins. The penguins are divine. Gentoo penguins right.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Oh, we love them. We love it. Just not their diarrhea. Their excretia. God, you hate it. And what makes you so confident in the diarrhea? Did you go hiking on diarrhea Island? Could I call it?
Starting point is 00:34:29 What a question. Hiking on diarrhea Island. That was diarrhea Island. Yeah. I was like, I'm going to just stay down here. I don't need to see those chicks. Who was calling a diarrhea island? Nicole was. And our whole family.
Starting point is 00:34:41 Yeah. Yeah. Because it was diarrhea. I saw no ice. Yeah. Just diarrhea. I have to say. Oh, you missed that. Their stomachs must not have been upset. No, no, they were upset. He didn't bring this up. Well, no, but this is just a sidebar. Antidecar is gordon.
Starting point is 00:34:58 We don't have to, no, we don't have to make this, let's make this the main bar. This is not. Diary Island is the topic of the rest of the episode. I'm never going to go to Diary Island. I already was never going to go to Antarctica. I don't think it's for me. This is a small little section where there was a few penguins that had upset stomachs. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:19 But beyond that. They're multing. Yeah, yeah. They're just in a moment of just like letting it all go. You're in shock that I said it. I'm hooked on it. I just, just to just to hear, just a bit. We asked by you, how did you go hiking on Diary Island?
Starting point is 00:35:36 On Diary or Island. Diary or Island. But back to the glorious, glorious Antarctica. And the sea lions and the kayaking and the pescats. Oh, yeah. Is that not the greatest thing in the world? I was. The silence.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Oh, that's interesting. Yeah. Must be the most. No, it is spectacular there. Truly untouched. Wow. And the silence is. is unrivaled.
Starting point is 00:36:04 I mean, there is, you hear. Nothing. Yeah. And the most peace that you, I mean, it truly is. And I meditated on the kayak for like five minutes and just went, I think this is the happiest I've ever been. Now, is that because of the quiet? I think it's just everything that surrounds you there.
Starting point is 00:36:26 And it's timeless. Yeah. And then you're aware of the fragility. of everything. Yeah, wow, wow, wow. Because you're aware of it because you're looking out and it's like, this is untouched, uncorrupted by man. And you realize how much of our surroundings and how much of our like interactions and how much
Starting point is 00:36:49 of our psychic being is ruined by man. You know what I mean? Yeah. It's like it feels like you're the most in touch with like nature as, as you're. you ever have been. Yeah. I felt that exact way in kayaking. The seals were abundant.
Starting point is 00:37:07 We saw a glacier sort of crumbled before our eyes and people were like, uh-oh. And I'm like, no, I think that's normal. I think the sound. You hear the sound. It's like a thunderous sound. It's crazy. Crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:20 No, but we, so we had to go to Punta Arenas. Yes. Been there. Been there. And we were held for three days. They were about to call. Because of the weather. Because of the weather.
Starting point is 00:37:28 So they had to, we were like, so if they, if they, if they pushed your trip back by three days they canceled the entire cruise. So we were on day three. It was just, it was like Groundhog's Day and like Printery-Reynes, this lovely Chilean town. So nice. So nice. Yeah. So warm. So friendly. Great food. And then. Great coffee. Great coffee. Great sea bass. Anyway. And now I'm coming around. And we're coming around. Did you not want to go? I really didn't. It was going to be my, I don't think so. You got to go. All I can say is you got to go. But you go with people that are very, very, very. And you're going to go. But you go with people that are very, very, like the cruise we went on
Starting point is 00:38:04 surfaces, you have to clean everything. I mean, they are so ecologically minded. You have to be so careful. Yes. Because you can't take any of our viruses or bacteria or anything into that continent. Yes. You can't even, they won't let you kneel.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Like, they won't let you crouch down. Like, they don't want. Everything. Yeah. It's very regimented. Yes. Very, very sterile and clean. Yes. Yeah. Right? Listen to us. No, I mean, we're just like to the same. for Antarctica. No, well, it's kind of like...
Starting point is 00:38:37 It's a thing. People are going. Yeah, and it's also, there's still very few people that have been, right? Yeah. What is the percentage? It's very low. My mom was saying it's like... 1% which is not, which makes it,
Starting point is 00:38:49 gives it a bad rap. It's like, it's not one percenters. It's adventurers who go there. And you're an adventurer. Well, it was his parents' dream to go. His mother's dream to go. Oh, you remember. parents.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Yes. I was my parents. Oh. And it was like a good son. Yeah. Oh. I loved it. Good son.
Starting point is 00:39:10 No, it was great. Yes. You didn't want to go over. You went. No, I didn't want to. Oh, I was genuinely excited. Just say yes. I'm a good son.
Starting point is 00:39:17 I'm a good son. Six continents now, right? Yes. I'm on six. You haven't done seven. I haven't done seven. So I was stolen value when I held up. Which continent have you not done?
Starting point is 00:39:26 I am dying to go to Africa. Right. And still haven't gone. I need Africa and an article. Yes. Okay. And Annerica was, oh, but this is just to say that, like, we, so then we're like, oh, we lost three days, but we're on the ship, this is great. And then I had to fly back in time to do the actor awards, but then they kept pushing the dates out of King.
Starting point is 00:39:47 Because did you fly in or did you cross-strike passage? We flew in. We were doing same. On to the ice runway? Yeah, we heard about this. King George Island. Crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:56 So they wouldn't clear us to fly for three days. So then we got the other, the flip side of it on the way back. which is we're sailing Drake Passage, which is where the Atlantic and the Pacific meet, the harshest waters. Oh, is that what happens? If you don't, if you can't fly out, you do have to cross it. You do have to cross the passage.
Starting point is 00:40:13 I did not know that. I didn't do my full research. No, and so when they broke the news to us, the room erupted in equal cheers and groans of agony. Yeah, we were about the same because we had it. We were held for an extra day. Yes. And there was tears of joy and tears of,
Starting point is 00:40:31 I've got to get back. I've got a job to do. I'm going to lose my job. We got to get off this boat. So how did you and the daughters? How did you guys react to that? To being held an extra day? I was happy.
Starting point is 00:40:40 Okay, good. And now you're a cruise person you said on Fallon. And then I was like, but I got to get off. Yeah. There comes a point. I can do one day, maybe two days, but not I've got to get back. So I think you and I are the same. But I'm a cruise person now, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Are you really? Yeah. Yeah. Because you said you have two more planned. Oh, yeah. With Silversea? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:41:02 One with Silver Sea. Great. They're lovely. And one with Ruth Carlton. Oh, fun. And the Amonzo. I'm trying them all. Yeah, good.
Starting point is 00:41:09 I'm ready. I'm ready. But my daughters, because there's only two of them, they're like, we want our family. So my sister has six kids. They have partners. They all. So I bring everyone. And then my best friend since I was four, all her children.
Starting point is 00:41:24 And their partner. It's just, we have a big tribe that we travel with. And we're all like, with. and then Katie who's here is like my sister so we have like this huge tribe of people and there's two women that work with me who've worked with me for years
Starting point is 00:41:41 who are also like my sister so it's like come on we go let's go yeah and I also love I grew up in a family where we travel in big groups and we would do things in big groups so it's very comforting to me so if I'm in the position to be able to share and do it
Starting point is 00:41:59 of course I'm doing it I'm doing it. I will work so hard so I can play hard. Yeah. And also it's like we were talking before the episode started about like why you'd rewatch something you've already seen or do something. For me, it's often like I want to watch other people experience this thing. You know what I mean? Like sometimes I don't know what that is, but it's like maybe there's something to it for you and wanting everyone to be together. It's like we're going to have an experience together. And I really do enjoy the, I don't know what that would be called, but that's sort of like transference that happens when someone else is having a moment
Starting point is 00:42:34 of awe and wonder or whatever the emotion is. Yeah. You might be able to anticipate it yourself. But that's like, that's, that's a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. It's why I love throwing parties. And giving gifts.
Starting point is 00:42:49 Yeah. I love doing that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What did I say? I said once too. Somebody of my kids were making fun in me.
Starting point is 00:42:58 Oh, I love small. dinner parties, but I also love a rave. Yeah. And I'm like, does not go together, Mom. And I'm like, for me, it does. Yeah. You, how do you feel? Do people still come up to you and bring up basement as sort of a cultural, like, touchstone now in a post-baby girl society?
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah. Baby girl hit. We thought it was going to be, speak to older women primarily. Uh-huh. It hit a younger generation and gay men in a way that I had no idea. Oh, the milk was huge. Milk is back now because of it. I had a glass of milk at dinner the other night.
Starting point is 00:43:33 Good. Yeah. I just locked eyes with my waiter. No, I literally did. It was fascinating what people related to in that film. We thought it was a very, very, very niche thing. Yeah. And it actually kind of, it moved.
Starting point is 00:43:51 It had tentacles that spread wide. And then in the same way that big little eyes reached sort of a particular. particular group of people, Baby Girl did. Yeah. I love that. Yeah. Because it's unexpected to me. Of course.
Starting point is 00:44:06 Yeah. As a female CEO. I loved dancing in Baby Girl down there in that basement. Oh, so good. And we started and I came out of that with COVID and the flu. What? A double whammy. That's where it goes down.
Starting point is 00:44:21 That's where it went down. Yeah. And how did it come back that you just ran all the tests? I got so sick. And I knew going in, I was like, oh, yeah. I'm going down here. I can just feel it. It's the middle of winter and it's running rampant right now.
Starting point is 00:44:38 So, oh, well. Baby girl went down. Baby girl dropped. Baby girl dropped down to her, on all fours. She fell in all fours. Yeah, not even on all fours, flat on my back. There we go. Okay, we're getting it.

Starting point is 00:47:20 Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty On the Iheart Radio app Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts Now we have to ask you the question which is the central question of our podcast, Nicole Kidman. What was the culture that made you say culture was for you? This can be a film you saw, a musical artist, something atmospheric. No, I'm going to tell you.
Starting point is 00:47:43 Couture. Couture. Thank you. Yeah, it actually was because all my dreams were based on it. Yeah. I would look at like the clothes and fashion and my mom would say, look at that and look at how it's made and look at it. So from Audrey Hepburn to Grace Kelly to all the different houses, Javonshire, all of them,
Starting point is 00:48:07 that's what culturally for me made me dream. Wow, fashion. I grew up loving it. I somehow stumbled into being exposed to it, standing there with Galliano fitting dresses on me and Lagerfeld fitting dresses on me and being on the cover of Vogue and having access to the most beautiful things to wear on your body. When did that start? Little, because I would stand on a table
Starting point is 00:48:38 and my grandmother would make all my clothes. But not kind of just haphazard, put them together, like hours and hours and hours. Couture. And she would put little collars on and little fur and a little trim and some ribbons. Everything was, yeah, Couture. So I was baby Couture.
Starting point is 00:48:59 I was like, yeah, and I would stand there for hours because I wanted to wear the clothes. Do you remember the first? And then I would dress my Barbie in Couture clothes because my grandmother would make my Barbie clothes. So I had clothes for my Barbie that nobody had. Of course. And then even my Kendall had some clothes. Yeah. This is before Chalemar.
Starting point is 00:49:24 So when do you, do you remember the first designer or? like artist in the fashion world that you worked with directly and you felt like, oh, this is a moment for me in terms of an entry into the fashion world? I mean, the first one was John, Galliano. And I was shooting Eyes Wide Chat. And so I was able to go over to Paris regularly. And I would stand there for them and they would try things on me and try different fabrics. and then I would go in and try on the hats.
Starting point is 00:50:00 And then I would go to Carl's house. Then it sort of just was, you know, it was just a bridge. And from that point on, I was, and you have, really, they don't come to you. You have to go to them. And you have to be willing to be a mannequin, like a model, and just stand there. And let them, let them design to you. And because I'd been so tall and skinny my whole life, suddenly there was a reason to be tall and skinny.
Starting point is 00:50:30 Ectomorphicom. Yeah. I wanted always to be short and curvy. And so suddenly it was like, oh, I can be tall and skinny and somebody doesn't mind that. And there's a purpose. I mean, what are you anticipating? They can utilize it. Of course.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Of course. Are you anticipating anything in particular with Matt Gala this year as being part of the host committee? Because I feel like it's such a pivotal year for the Gala. Well, I just get to be there with Beale. Are you kidding? Perfect. That's all that matters. That's it.
Starting point is 00:51:00 Done. My job. I'm done. Here we go. Truly. Is it a thing where you guys, do you discuss? Do you get, like, as being part of the host committee? With Anna.
Starting point is 00:51:09 Yeah, we work with Anna and who is iconic. Is there her last year? And a genius. No, she's staying on to always chair the gala. The gala. Okay. We need Anna. We do.
Starting point is 00:51:21 Yeah. We need Anna. Anna has created so many people's careers. She's a massive, supporter of art and fashion and women. I mean, she's extraordinary. And so therefore, to be able to, and this is, I think it's the third time I've coach had. I think.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Yeah. So, but to do it now, I'm so, so happy. And my daughter, Sunday, will be coming. Oh, crazy. Yeah. Yeah. That's so fun. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:51:52 That's another thing you get to do with your daughter. That's incredible. Yeah. And she, like, loves fashion. She's actually just walked the Dior show. She's just, yeah, she's flying back from Paris now. I know. Oh my God. That's the coolest. I know. Which I have nothing to do with. It's her whole world and her relationship and she and Jonathan Anderson. Yeah. It's incredible. I was thinking as you were talking like you mentioned Grace Kelly who you got to portray. You mentioned Audrey Hepburn,
Starting point is 00:52:18 who obviously in Big Little Lives you guys all get to do the Audrey Hepburn. And I did read Biggler. And then is Marilyn, who I'll always be in love with Marilyn. I mean, yes. And also I wanted to ask about Lucille Ball Because I think that that's one of my favorite performances You've ever done You really did capture just like Her like relentless commitment To getting it right
Starting point is 00:52:43 To getting it right Yeah And I wonder if that's something that you connected with Was it like She's a harder worker than me She knew what she wanted She had to be She came in an era
Starting point is 00:52:54 when she had to be such a trailblazer, she was so brilliant that her, and comedy is detail. Yep. So, as she would say, comedy is detail. You can't be generalized, you can't be haphazard. Sometimes you'll stumble on a joke. But if you're really doing comedy and comedy every week that has to deliver time and time again, then that is arduous, hard, technical, skilled work. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:53:23 It's not just fly by night, give it a world. Right. You know? And that's what I learned from playing her. She was also an amazing businesswoman at a time when there were not women at the helm. And she had a very, you know, complicated love relationship. And she loved him. And she was this, you know, just extraordinary being.
Starting point is 00:53:50 So to be able to play her, whether I looked like. her or not, I was able to capture her voice at least and her mannerisms and then it was like I couldn't get rid of her and she was in me. But it was so fun and half the stuff that we prepared and everything was not in the film. Really? Yeah, yeah. There's outtakes on that. Is that in terms of the staging of the comedy scenes? That's really cool. Yeah. So I could do every movement, every single movement by I studied and studied and with a movement car. Like we did so much prep and then a tiny bit of it is in there. But that's that's performance.
Starting point is 00:54:26 You have to do an enormous amount of work and maybe it makes the cut or maybe it doesn't. You can't be attached to it. Kind of complicated theater that was doing sitcom at the time that I guess you have experience doing. But like gosh and we're talking about it because I completely agree. And I was, it's funny, I was even watching being the Ricardo's when I had Omicron and I had to miss my only SNL, which was that, which was that episode, December 2021.
Starting point is 00:54:54 But I was watching you and it did just give me this, it did just download me with this notion that like you have to be, comedy is logistics. What did you say earlier? Comedy is detail. Yeah. Detail. All in the detail. It's all in the details.
Starting point is 00:55:10 And then where's the laugh? Where's the like? Okay, there it is. And they were lucky because they have the live studio audience. Yeah. So they had the feedback. I think it must be so hard trying to do that without that. Because this is like, okay, great, we know that works.
Starting point is 00:55:23 We know that. It's like when you do theater and you go, great, that's working. Or you're surprised at what works. And then you go, geez, I thought that wasn't going to work. And that just landed. I know. Hold that. Save that.
Starting point is 00:55:36 And we can layer that now. And now we can add and add and add. There's also nothing more distracting than an artificial laugh track. Like some of the multicams that they. do now where you can tell there's an artificial laugh truck? I'm like, I don't think we, I mean, we probably didn't need it. No. Because it's just we know from years of growing up
Starting point is 00:55:53 on that. Right. Right. It's like watching an AI video. It's like, I know the artifice here. Yes, it's just a little off in terms of the volume of the reaction or the timing of the reaction. I mean, but you've never hosted SNL before, had you? No, back in the 90s, you did? Oh, oh, oh. Yeah. I did. Does this motivate you? Did any of that
Starting point is 00:56:13 motivate you? Or are you itching to do it again? Yeah, I would love to do it. it again. Oh, you should. It's just a lot of work. It is. It's a lot of work. And it's about sort of gosh, it's because I was going to say it's, it's about relinquishing the control, but also being so just so fastidious with it too. I'm happy to relinquish control to people that know what they're doing. So I would be happy to come back and do it and try stuff and just play. Because really it is playing, right? Yeah. But it's also when you have two kids and you live in Nashville and you work and you've got a whole other. It's a lot to commit to, but it would, I mean, it's an honor if you're ever asked.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Yeah. So, yeah, bow down. I would like, I would so love to. I'm sort of ready now because I'm also at a place where I go, ah. Yeah. Let's do it. Give it a try. If you fall flat on your face, it's okay.
Starting point is 00:57:03 Get back up. You kind of sketched the idea, Diary Island. Yeah. You have no idea where I've been and what it smelled like. That smell is a particular smell. Yeah. I'm not replicable anywhere else. I'm very, very smell sensitive.
Starting point is 00:57:18 Yeah. Oh, like, yeah. We're going to get to this part of my personality. You have a heightened smell. Yeah. Well, you did come in and you complimented our scent. Yeah. I'm either drawn to or drawn away based on a smell.
Starting point is 00:57:32 Thank God you're still here. So I was like, and you made me laugh and I love you both. And I love how you smell. Check, check. This is good. Really good vibe. Really good vibe. Okay, so we have to ask you this other thing, which is, so we've had Reese and Laura here.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Yes. My girls. The best. My girls. The best time with both of them. Reese came in and she did an impression of you. I've heard it. And it's wrong.
Starting point is 00:58:02 It's wrong. Laura came in and did an impression of Reese. So we have to know if you have a Laura Dern. In a word. She says you definitely do. Yes. Yeah. Now, let's talk about this.
Starting point is 00:58:20 Yes, this is happening, Brett, baby. Yeah. Right. I know. Yes. It's the warmest, most responsive, and you go, she gets me. Oh. She's resonating from her spirit.
Starting point is 00:58:34 Yeah. Yeah. That is Lord. Wow. Right? Yeah. Yeah. It is that, isn't it?
Starting point is 00:58:40 And then she said her arms. Like, it's a little bit at the. elbows, you know what I mean? She articulates from here. You know what I'm saying? She does. But seeing those two together, watching them improv, oh my God. Hilarious.
Starting point is 00:58:56 Yeah, they should actually have their own improv show. They are hilarious. We were laughing. Yeah, but you haven't seen them together. No, I know. When they throw it back, I mean, they're both brilliant comedians. Yes. Brilliant.
Starting point is 00:59:10 And then I just worked with one of the other brilliant comedians my generation and Sandy Bullock. Oh. Right? On practical magical magic too. Yeah. But I mean, those women own it. Of course.
Starting point is 00:59:23 Yeah. Come on. Yeah. And Julia. Julia Roberts. Oh, of course. The great comedians of their generation. Can we not sleep on your performance and just go with it, please?
Starting point is 00:59:33 Okay? Because there are people I know, and I'm going to shout them out, Jared Frieder, who says, that's Nicole's best. Yes. Just go with it. You have no idea how many. With Dave Matthews. where I'm dancing on the thing.
Starting point is 00:59:45 You've got to... You worked with everyone. What haven't you done? It's amazing. It's truly incredible. Yeah, I was in Hawaii with Adam Sandler and Jen. I mean, come on.
Starting point is 00:59:56 Can it get better than that? Yeah. And Dave Matthews. We got to get you on the morning show. Yeah. We got to get you in there with Reese and Joe in the morning show. In all my spare time.
Starting point is 01:00:06 I do have a question about how you do all of it. Do you look at your calendar and is it, are you booked through December at this point? Actually, no. You're not?
Starting point is 01:00:14 No, I'm not. Is that a purposeful choice for this year? Yeah, I'm open as of the summer. I'm just like, I'm going, okay, what's coming my way? I do not know. Well, we have this for you. So I'm not, but I'm, I've got some holidays planned. There we're good.
Starting point is 01:00:33 Yeah, I'm all about, yeah, the vacation. Yes. Right? So, so I got a cruise planned. Yes. Where are you going? Can you share? Oh, I can't tell you.
Starting point is 01:00:42 I'm going to Thailand for the first time. Oh, lovely. Oh, yeah, I love Thailand. Yeah, never been. Been all over Thailand. I do feel like for some reason. I have. I filmed in Thailand. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:55 That's right. Twice. I did Bangkok Hilton when I was really, really young, and then I did a film Railway Man. Oh, yes, yes, yes. No, you don't know that. I don't think I know. No, yeah. I'm going to be honest with you and say.
Starting point is 01:01:06 I told you when, oh, yes, yes, yes. I called you wanted. Yes, yes. I'm happy you did. You can't watch it all But no I'm excited because I do feel like It's this weird random thing that keeps happening
Starting point is 01:01:21 Where I end up going on a vacation To whatever the last White Lotus was Wait a minute We went just to just leaving Thank you Mike White Thank you Mike White Where is he going next What did he say he's going next
Starting point is 01:01:32 You should get ahead of it He's going to cancel It's canned It's can oh lovely Did you know that? No That's the rumor Far out
Starting point is 01:01:39 That's gonna that's going to throw down, right? Let's go. This is what the buzz is on the streets. He's a genius. There was an interview he did the other day where he said the interview deals some with celebrity and about people who are comfortable being, seeking out a love that is more than just with one other person. They need a love of something larger.
Starting point is 01:02:01 And about answering that question of why and about how people can feel when they're in a relationship with someone who needs more love than just one person. can provide. Really interesting. And I think that like, you know, obviously there's going to be things of ego and stuff. Well, that comes back to that person is not satiated with themselves, right? Yeah. Of course. They're not in love with themselves.
Starting point is 01:02:23 Right. Is that what are you feeling the whole? Probably. They're not at peace. Mm-hmm. So that's a pretty, you're, I mean, you're going to face, you're going to have to face the reality of what this life is at some point. So whether you're going to allow yourself to come to that place or whether you're just going to get felt by it, right?
Starting point is 01:02:48 It's a choice. So you can do the work to actually try to, and it's never done, but you can always be going, okay, what do I do here? What is the next chapter? Particularly when you get to a certain stage in life, it's like, okay, where am I at now with who I am, and am I okay being alone? Because as soon as you're okay with, and when I say being alone, like really being alone. Sure. It's not just being alone for a couple of days in your apartment. It's, am I okay with being alone?
Starting point is 01:03:20 There will be nobody there when I die. Is that going to be okay? Are you? No, but you know, you can't. Of course. So at some point, you've got to just face the facts. It's a, which is about, which. Your guy, you guys are going to be like, geez.
Starting point is 01:03:36 No, I'm with you. But it is true. I think about it a lot. Yeah, 3 a.m. in the morning when you wake up and you are alone, well, that then is like, okay, this is where I have to be at peace. And being at peace is just about like assigning meaning to, if the meaning you're assigning to your life is not like deleterious in some aspect to your vitality. It's like if it's like this thing of like if your love has to involve the love of other people
Starting point is 01:04:05 in this way that is a little grotesque. or untenable or unsustainable. It's like that is going to eat away at something. You have to find, you have to switch gears and find a different reason to like be alive and to give yourself meaning besides this thing that is not healthy for you. You can't give you what you're needing from it.
Starting point is 01:04:22 Never will. Never. Mike White. Heavy. Do you ever watch any reality television? Because he's fully on Survivor right now. You didn't know this. Mike White is a survivor contestant.
Starting point is 01:04:36 in second. Oh, I'm so happy to tell you this. He came in second on a season of Survivor years ago, post him being a well-known Hollywood writer, way after, you know, School of Rock and Enlightened and all of that. He went on Survivor, came in second place
Starting point is 01:04:52 in a tough, like, well-regarded season. I'm sure. What are you have to do? You got to live. You got to do the Tribal Council, the votes, all that came in second place. And now he's on, this is the 50th season. This is the 50th season where they've brought back all the icons of the show.
Starting point is 01:05:09 And I guess somehow he fit into his schedule going out there for nearly 30 days and competing on Survivor. He's on it right now. Has he doing? Well. So far, it's only one week, but so far so good. And his whole narrative in the first episode was, he took his shirt off and he had like this ripped body and everyone was like, Mike White.
Starting point is 01:05:29 But I was like, I mean, man's got a Hollywood trainer. There you go. But that was the whole, his whole narrative on the first episode was, oh my God, he's That's crazy. I had no idea. Wow. Wow. But you watch everything but reality TV. No, I sometimes watch reality TV. I've watched it with my daughters and I've been like, oh, no, this is too much. Turned it off. What are they into? I'm not allowed to talk about what they're into or anything. I'm too, what I get called millennial. Join the club. Join the club. You're in the right place. And that is not a compliment.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Right, of course, of course. Not from a teenager. Right? But you do have reputation like for watching a lot. Like Reese does the impression of you being like, we have to get this directed. But I watch art films and I watch. Yeah, I'm like, okay. That's what you were like, Andrea Arnold.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Yeah. I'm like, who is this over here in Norway right now? Wow. Yeah, I'm like, I love to that. I've grown up doing that. I would go and I would. sit in a dark there and I would watch subtitle films since I was
Starting point is 01:06:38 little. It was my access to the world and I also wanted to raise global children. So that's why my kids have been to seven continents. That's amazing. As of two weeks ago or three weeks ago or whatever. Yeah, crazy right? So they hit seven at what ages? She's
Starting point is 01:06:54 15. The youngest. Oh wow. They did it. Yeah. Beautiful. That's amazing. Yeah. So now they've got to go around two. We have to find a new continent. We got to go to There's the moon. There is the moon. The eighth continent, the moon. It's actually Rural Culture number 15. There is the moon. The eighth continent, the moon. Well, I'm trying to think if they, before we do, I don't think so, honey, if there's anything else I need to pick our guest's brain about.
Starting point is 01:07:20 An expression I don't like. Pick brain. Pick brain. Yeah, you can pick my brain. Pick my heart. Take your heart. Oh. Okay. Wait. You know that you have one of the most iconic Vogue 73 questions. I do? You do. I did not know. See, I there's many. My six out. Alpacas. Yeah. Yeah. There's only four now. There's only four.
Starting point is 01:07:40 I'm so sorry. Are we going to get two new ones? Yeah. Okay, good. Yeah, we got to keep it. Of course. Why six alpacas? And then they're like, can you lead the alpaca through the frame?
Starting point is 01:07:50 We're like, no. Nope. That you do not understand. We were like, come on. Come on. Come on. Come on, Byron. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:08:21 And yeah, but you walked all through my country estate. I love it. It was beautiful. It's different now. Okay. Yeah. I've redesigned it. I redid it.
Starting point is 01:08:30 It might need another 73 questions there. You have to go back. We'll do it. Not that dog won't want to do it. There's more animals. There you go. There's reason to return. Chase Viridian, Vogue 73 questions.
Starting point is 01:08:41 There's goats. There's goats. Oh, to die four. You just watched two die four for the first time. Two horses. Two horses? You didn't meet the horses. No, we didn't get to see them.

Starting point is 01:09:04 I love Suzanne Stone. Suzanne Stone, I feel like... San Stone is a killer. Yeah, but I love her for... But a pretty killer. She was a gorgeous killer. But I have to say, like, there's just something... Again, maybe it is just...
Starting point is 01:09:17 It's Buck Henry and Gus Van Sant. I can't believe Buck Henry wrote that. Yeah. And Gus. Yeah, Buck Henry for everyone, if you saw The Graduate, he wrote The Graduate. I mean, he's one of the great writers. And then Gus Vincent, what can we say?
Starting point is 01:09:31 I also shout out to, obviously, Joaquin, Ileana Douglas. Oh, amazing in that movie and gets lost in the conversation of great performances from that era. That's a great performance. Was she already a skater when you guys shot? No, she couldn't skate.
Starting point is 01:09:45 She said she could skate. Hey, we're at this. I love it. Can you ice skate? Absolutely. I can. And then she was on the ice. Not so good.
Starting point is 01:09:54 Not so good. She may it look good. It's so good in the movie. She and a double. She had a double. Oh, wow. But she did. She got there.
Starting point is 01:10:03 But, you know, that's what you say. Can you ride a horse? Absolutely. Can you? I skate, yes, I can. Can you, what, just say yes.
Starting point is 01:10:10 Have you lied? I've said, yeah, I can sing. And then Baz is like, hmm, we're going to need more singing lessons. You know, it's always yes. It's always yes.
Starting point is 01:10:19 And then you grow. Because, you know who? I'm talking, I'm talking to Gina Gershant tonight because her book, her memory, she's the best. I love her.

Starting point is 01:10:33 No. It's like, you just say yes. You have to. I will. I will. But then it's going to become that thing where it's like, can you ski? And I'm going to be like, yeah. And you really can.
Starting point is 01:10:43 And then it's a hazard. So say yes within reason, people. Yeah, yeah. No, it's dangerous when you say. It's like, how much do you want the role? Exactly. And they're on to us now because then they're like, okay, we'll show us. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:11:00 They've got it. They've hacked us as actors. I know. Directors and producers are like, Mm-hmm. Send me a tape. Show me. Not that anyone has to put you through your pace.
Starting point is 01:11:12 I know. You've proven you can do everything. Also, like, what... Not real. I'm on... I'm just on a massive learning curve. I'm always like, okay, teach me. Teach me.
Starting point is 01:11:23 I'm teachable. That would be a good attribute to say. I'm teachable. Teachable. That's a great thing to be. Mm. I think it's... I hope it is.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Might be time for... I don't think so hard. And I'm not rigid. No. Certainly not. And I always wake up in a good mood. Yes. I always wake up in a good mood?
Starting point is 01:11:41 What do you attribute that to? I don't know. Born that way. You wake up in a good mood always. Yeah, I've always woken up in a good mood. Does that correlate to how you go to bed? I go to bed. I have trouble sleeping because I have a lot of energy.
Starting point is 01:11:58 Yeah. I'll get tired. Or you don't even need it. Or not after midday, but I did today. That's why I'm kind of jacked up now Can you tell I'm usually a lot Quieter More sedate
Starting point is 01:12:09 Yeah I feel a bit jacked up actually I had a cold brew today and Then two Coke Zero so I'm a killing machine Oh yeah Will you sleep tonight Maybe not but that would be because I was so excited about this You're so sweet We have been dying
Starting point is 01:12:24 Than you're coming I know it felt cosmically right When on the boat they were like You know who was just here from Nicole Kim And I was like I'm talking to her next week It was crazy. I feel like even though you are caffeine post midday, it is still talking to you and being with you in person, it is still the thing of like, oh, well, Nicole Kimman like has levitated
Starting point is 01:12:46 in all her roles, essentially. You know what I mean? It's like, you have this like airy lightness to you. You can come here more often. You might be so good. Well, you really have given so much to culture and that's what our podcast is about. And we've now been doing it for 10 years. and I would imagine you probably come up, like, you know, quite often to say the least.
Starting point is 01:13:06 And I just think back to all the eras of like our life as moviegoers. And you have a place in all of them. And I just. And in so many different ways, like, whether it's like as mainstream as Batman or as niche as something like birth. You know what I mean? Or, you know, Dogville. Dogville. I mean, like, this is like you are a true, you have a true artist spirit.
Starting point is 01:13:31 and you're also this like megawatt movie star and they just don't make them like anymore. Like Margot Robbie must be like spiritual sister to you. She's my, yeah. And I love Emma Stone. I love her. She's so brave and she's just like, yeah, shave my head. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:13:50 What do you want? You're a ghost, let's go. Yeah. But then, you know, I've just went and worked with Osgood Perkins. I did a small role in young people, which is this horror film that he's got coming out, and I love him, and I wanted to go and support him. So he's like, I've written this role.
Starting point is 01:14:07 It's three days' work. And I'm like, yep, yep, I'm coming. Coming your way. Yeah. So I just love being able to do something like Practical Magic, which is a big studio film, and then go do a fully independent, crazy wild thing. With a bunch of really great young actresses who are rising stars.
Starting point is 01:14:26 I mean, we're good friends with Megan Fahey. Oh, yeah, yeah. I just love. And she's so good. She's amazing. She is on the cusp of being massive. Oh, she can do it all. She can do it all.
Starting point is 01:14:40 Yeah. I mean, did you see drop? And she's sort of effortless. No, I haven't seen it. She was in this movie called Drop, which came out last year, which was she plays a single mom, pretty recently single mom who goes on the first date she's been on since her abuser husband, like took his own life and tried to kill her. And she's finally got her legs again.
Starting point is 01:14:58 and she goes on a blind date with this guy, and she sits down at dinner, and she starts getting air-dropped messages from someone at her home who's kidnapped her son. And so it's just, it's sort of like a... It's like a red eye meets like, I don't even know. Oh, I'm going to watch it. Oh, it's good.
Starting point is 01:15:16 And Megan is fantastic in it. She just holds the frame, and she's just so good. And she's gorgeous and she's talented. Yeah. I'm going to text her after this. Yeah, yeah.

Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the Iheart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Which we take one minute to tear something up in culture. You time it? We time it. We time it. You'll see how it goes.
Starting point is 01:18:08 No, I know. All right. I'm ready to go. It's not going to be popular with the rest of the panel here today, but I'm just going to go ahead and do it. I know where this is going. This is Matt Rogers. I don't think so many as time starts now. I don't think so, honey, Antarctica.
Starting point is 01:18:19 No. Because I FaceTime my girl on the way to Antarctica and she's supine in a rickety vessel with the, what do you call it? A scop. A scop patch, whatever this is. You have to learn what that is to go to Antarctica. He's got the scop patch, whatever it is, however you goddamn spell it. On his neck, I go, is that helping?
Starting point is 01:18:40 He goes, yeah, but I can't see. My girl is cross-eyed supine on the Drake's Passage. Now I know what the Drake's Passage is the most treacherous waters. 30 seconds. The Atlantic meets the Pacific? I don't think so, honey. Keep them separate. I see my girl finally gets to Antarctica,
Starting point is 01:18:55 takes a few pictures, sends me a video. It's the iceberg falling apart. The iceberg takes the video on the iceberg. And I say, now, is that supposed to happen? He says, they go yes and no. I go, okay, not great information for me on tonight. I don't think so, honey, Antarctica. You can kind of get there, kind of now.
Starting point is 01:19:12 You have to wait days. Nicole Kimman's flying in on an ice. What is it called? The pathway? I don't know. So honey. I don't think so, honey. And that's one minute.
Starting point is 01:19:25 Just maybe not for me. I can get Africa in and that'll be six. And you're going to keep it. We'll work on you. We'll work on you. But I just, I don't know. That's a bad, that there, no, we can delete that. We're deleting.
Starting point is 01:19:40 We can delete that. It's funny. Okay, but I will say, I had planned to do that one so I did it, but you guys do make it sound really appealing and adventurous. Oh, good. The quiet and the meditative. No, truly. You've already changed your mind. That's my prerogative.
Starting point is 01:19:54 My prerogative. The patch is transdermal. It steadies your optic nerve so then I could have. Yikes. Yeah. I didn't do the patch. I just was parkour. You were ruffed it.
Starting point is 01:20:06 You were rocking. Oh, I love that. I just did it. I'm a Navy SEAL. Yeah. No, I've been told that with pain. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:15 What made someone say that to you? Destroyer. No, no. For some reason. I can have broken bone and just still not even go and get it x-rayed and not check it and walk around and just say it's a pulled muscle. Really? Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:29 Holy moly. Now that's concerning. Yeah, not normal for a redhead because usually you feel extra pain. That's what they say. Redheads feel extra pain? Is that a recessive gene thing? Yeah, it's something to do.
Starting point is 01:20:40 They just say, well, I'm not that. Yeah. I can like, I don't know. I put myself in a trance. Yeah. They go, do you need the anesthesia? No. Huh.
Starting point is 01:20:51 So you need to do Survivor. Was what you're saying. I wish I'd know Mike was doing it. I would have done it with him. Honestly, I don't think it's too late. We might get it back for another season. I'm like, Mike, you should have texted me and said, you want to do this together?
Starting point is 01:21:05 And we would have gone head to head. You would have gone head to head. I definitely would have come in second. I think I will come in last, though, because I give up easily. No, you don't. You can walk around with a broken bone. No, but in terms of a competition that's that, I would just go, I give up.
Starting point is 01:21:22 Are you not a competitive person? I'm not good to have on a sports team because I was always chosen last for the volleyball team because I just was like, well, is this really important? Do we have to win this? I'm not a good doubles tennis partner because I'm like, oh, I can psychology. I need some sports psychology. I'm with you. Yeah, I give up.
Starting point is 01:21:45 I'm like, do it matter? See, I think for me it mattered too much growing up. I'm so sorry. Let's all go to dinner, you know. Let's have a glass of wine. Yeah. It's too stressful. Life's too stressful.
Starting point is 01:21:59 It's too stressful to care about winning the volleyball game. I agree. You're not all the tennis match. Let's just play some recreational tennis. Hit the ball back and forth. I said hit the ball. Nicole, what are you doing? Serve it.
Starting point is 01:22:15 They're not going to get what they want. Right. Who? Your tennis partner? No. But I'll play and I'll wear a short tennis skirt and try to look cute. Give the vibes. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:27 That's it. Yeah, Gouture. Couture. Couture. Couture tennis playing. All that training. Are you ready to do your, I don't think so many. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 01:22:35 And you guys speak really far. This is Bollandangs. I don't think so many. His time starts now. I don't think so many, the scam, the long con that is, outdoor furniture. What do you mean? I got to tie it down.
Starting point is 01:22:49 What do you mean that a cough of a Victorian child could blow the cushions into another yard? Now I'm doing parkour from one patio to the next just to fetch my damn stained water-stained cushions for my rickety-ratin, rat-tan chair. I got to tie up the umbrella that is also going to be marked by the dirt and minerals of rain.
Starting point is 01:23:22 I don't know, man. If you got to tie down anything so it doesn't blow away, like tumbleweed. I don't think it's worth buying and placing in in your own space. Outdoor furniture, it's a scam. You're outdoor rugs. They're going to look like shit in six months. Wait for one season to pass by. It'll look bad. And that's one minute. That is true. I have to co-sign this. I'm co-signing it too. And you're, you want a damn farm, Nicole. And I'm like, you get the beautiful, warm stained wood and they're like, no, the silver ratty thing is actually what it's meant to look like. And you're like, no, no, I wanted it to stay looking like it was in the store.
Starting point is 01:24:03 That's what you said it would do. It's just like any furniture you put outside and then it gets old and ratty. It's impossible. Faster, faster, actually, than the indoor furniture. Yeah. You're right. So just drag the indoor furniture outside when you need it. You might as well. You might as well. It gets incredibly dirty, incredibly quickly, especially in L.A. where, at least where my place is. Like, just filth. I think it's just filth. I think it's. I agree. I agree. Anyway, I'm just saying, I don't think so, honey. Thank you. That part. And, you know, I hate thinking about you doing parkour around the building. Like your Spider-Man or something. I'm running around going, hey, pal, my, my little topiary fell into your, whatever, you know what I mean? Like. Yeah. And then you've got the outdoor cushions piled up indoors, taking up space, not looking good. Where do we put these? just shove him in the corner and you're like, just
Starting point is 01:25:00 get rid of them. Get rid of it. They're ugly. I have to have a storage bin for the tarps to cover the grill. I don't think so many tarps. Can I say?
Starting point is 01:25:13 Nothing good happens around the tarp. No, no, no. Like, lay down the tarp. That was another thing in Antarctica though you couldn't put anything to you to put it down on the tarp. You'd have put your life jacket onto the tarp. Protect it.
Starting point is 01:25:24 You'd protect it all. It's beautiful. We were very obedient. of the Antarctica energy around the world. I think so. Because I will say we went to Tokyo, then came back to America, couldn't believe how filthy we are by comparison. Like you walk around New York and you compare it to Tokyo, it's like absolutely absurd.
Starting point is 01:25:42 Like you don't even see it because you're so used to it. I know. Yeah. But it's like that in London. It's all about the contrast, isn't it? And then to open your eyes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:53 That's why it's important to travel. I agree. I agree. Now, it's time. Uh-oh. Mine? This is going to be good. I think you've got it.
Starting point is 01:26:01 You've got the idea. I just got the idea. Yeah, yeah. You're going to absolutely crush it. This is Nicole Kidman's. I don't think so, honey. And her time starts now. I don't think so, honey, if you have bad breath.
Starting point is 01:26:14 I cannot stand bad breath. I mean, this is a deal breaker for me. Like, you could be the most gorgeous, gorgeous guy. And you come at me with bad breath. breath and I'm like, no, no, no. It's off. Right? It's like, if I say, breathe on me and I have to recoil, yikes.
Starting point is 01:26:37 I'm out. I am out. You could not offer me enough money. 30 seconds. And so therefore, when Alexander Scarsguard ate a falafel sandwich before we did, the scenes in big little lies, I'm like, no, no, no, Alex, I'm meant to be kissing you into you, put away the falafel now. Right? Because the bad breath does not turn me on. As I said, it is very important to smell good, but more importantly, the mouth, the taste of the mouth,
Starting point is 01:27:12 and the smell of the mouth is very important to me. And that's one minute. I have to say, Alexander Scarsgaard has been having such a moment with Pilion and you just not. him out. I'm sure he did not eat a falafel ever again. You looked him in the eyes and you said. No more falafel. No more that. Nope.
Starting point is 01:27:34 Not before you kiss. Not before you make love. No more falafel. Put the falafel away. It's a rule of culture number 50. No more falafel before you make love. And I just have to say, for an actor of your caliber to say that falafel could destroy the reality of the scene.
Starting point is 01:27:59 Could just render, could render the scene work completely meaningless. Purely on breath. Yeah. You really are an olfactory queen. It's all about the breath. You are an olfactory queen. It's all the breath, the smell.
Starting point is 01:28:11 Yeah. Yeah. You want me to lean in? Is that your most tightens sense? Totally. Yeah. Yeah. Smell.
Starting point is 01:28:17 Tied to memory. Which is why when I lost it, I was relieved. After basement. You said unburdened me. I was like, few. Oh. This was after baby girl.
Starting point is 01:28:30 After COVID, I lost the smell. Combo. Yeah. And I was in a good way because it was a mutant. It was finally, I was free. You knew peace finally. It was like you were in an article on the ocean. I was free.
Starting point is 01:28:46 So that when it came back, I am obsessed. I can't. Now knowing. And you want to know who smells the best. Who? However, Rihanna. Oh, of course. I've heard that actually.
Starting point is 01:29:01 It's true. Do you think it's that like she just has a scent that like a fragrance that she has? I don't know. We don't need to. We don't need to unravel and decipher it. Just know it's all true. What is it still like? It's intoxicating.
Starting point is 01:29:18 I've heard this is like I will follow you around. And it is like you smell so good. Oh my gosh. I will follow you around. So you're saying it. I'm Pepe Lepew. Yeah. You're Pepe Lepe.
Starting point is 01:29:31 Lapeu. In the most respectful way. But no, truly, she smells divine. Wait, by the way. I'll tell you who also really smelled divine. I have my Looney Tunes characters on today. Yes. We love Looney Tunes.

Starting point is 01:29:54 All of them. Oh my God. Honestly, I want to, I knew to whip this out at the right moment. Yeah. Something is happening. Yeah. You were in a thrall right now about Rihanna, Tweety Bird, smells in general. The legendary ladies of our time.
Starting point is 01:30:12 I'm sensory. Okay. I'm so happy. I remembered to key them. This is a cute mock. It's very cute. So good. Anyways.
Starting point is 01:30:21 So good. Listen. This has falafels, Tweety Bird, Rihanna. We covered it all. Diary Island. Diarrere Island. That's why I didn't like it, you see? Of course.
