The following podcast is a dear media production.
Welcome back to the not skinny but not fat podcast.
I'm your host, Amanda Hirsch,
and I still can't believe that I get to chat
with some of my favorite stars on my very own podcast
where you'll feel like you're just talking shit
with your best friends in your living room.
Hey guys, welcome to a new episode of Not Skamed Off Fat.
This is Amanda.
Happy Tuesday to everyone if you're listening on Tuesday.
I have to tell you guys about last night.
I went to this event.
and is everyone experiencing this or is it just in like my world of influencer culture or people that are like on TV or on the internet because the whole table was talking about what GLP1 they were on and I had major FOMO and also major like no one's telling me you don't need it.
So are you calling me fat?
It was literally like, I'd be like, oh my God, stop, oh, wow, like, should I?
And they weren't saying no.
Like, they were basically injecting themselves in me at the table.
And I feel like it's like all I can think about ever since.
And it just shows you like how peer pressure is so real because it literally is influencing me.
I'm like, well, that person's on it.
That person's on it.
Like, why am I the only human not on it?
And everyone's apparently saying how great it is.
And I do have those stubborn 10, 15.
pounds that I am fucking fighting.
If I say fucking fighting with my teeth, you know what I did when I got home?
After the entire night being about GLP ones, like everyone talking about their GLP1,
I snacked to the fucking max.
Maybe it was emotional eating.
Maybe it was like, I'm fighting the system.
Like, you want me to fucking inject?
I'm going to eat.
I'm going to do the opposite.
I'm going to do the opposite of inject myself.
So I ate.
I snacked.
But I kind of needed to because those two glasses of champagne really got me.
I was drunk.
I was like, you know, when you excuse it, I was like, I need to eat for the alcohol to soak it up.
But I woke up feeling great.
And I guarantee you if I didn't snack, I wouldn't have woken up feeling great.
But anyway, yeah, it's real.
I wonder if you guys are feeling if it's like every mom at your kid's school is on it or is it just in the rooms that I am in.
And now the thing is we're equating it with like health.
I feel like.
Like, it's like, oh, you're on your NADs, your GHKs and your GLP.
It kind of gets mixed in like the health.
Peptides, that's the word.
The word of the fucking year is peptides and ferretin.
I'm just kidding.
I have an obsession with ferretin because it's just one of those things that I feel like now
your doctor is checking on every blood tests you get.
But 10 years ago, were we talking about ferretin?
No, we were talking about iron and now ferretin.
I just think that there is.
things than nobody talks about.
And then one day everybody talks about those things.
And then they become just part of culture.
Forever.
Anyway, so I came into my interview today and I'm like, will the guest want to talk about
how everyone's on GLP ones or will she want to talk about her new movie?
Because I'm on, I'm on a one track mind.
I'm on a one track mind here because of last night.
You guys, it was literally like, what are you with Zepaummanjaro?
Fucking fuck, fuck.
Fuck.
And you know, maybe the reason I am talking about it so much is because I do have an internal
struggle of what am I trying to prove? Am I trying to have an unmedicated birth? Is that what I'm
doing? That's what it feels like these days. Trying to lose weight on your own these days feels like
you're trying to prove something and give birth in a tub. You know what I mean?
Anyway, what else is no. You guys, it looks like Taylor Swift getting married at MSG was not
a prank. It was not April fools, even though it's not April. All the signs are pointing to that
being real, which like jokes on us and jokes on her because getting married at MSG is insane.
Like you tour all the time. You're always in stadiums, arenas, places like this, this is where
you want to get married? Or is she throwing some event there? So she throws, oh my God, all the
frenzy there. And then she's in Rhode Island at her house.
But it's happening, you guys.
It's happening sooner rather than later the weekend of July 4th.
Allegedly it's happening.
But who will Taylor's bridesmaids be?
Will it be Abigail and Anderson?
Or Selena Gomez on Polly Market, Abigail and Anderson has 86% chance and Selena Gomez, 78%.
What about the Heim sisters?
What about Cara Delavine?
She has so many friends.
Lena Dunham. I mean, Taylor was a bride in Lena Dunham's wedding. Will she not pay her the favor back? Will she have an entire bridal shower? I wonder. Anyway, you could check out polls like this on Polly Market. They have a great, you know, pop culture section for all of this. Another interesting poll over here, do we think Kylie Jenner will be pregnant in 2026? On Polly Market, it says there is a 44% chance. And here's what I'm,
I'm going to tell you my opinion is.
I say 2027.
I think 2027.
I think their end game, Timmy and Kylie, are end game, but I think they need another year to, like, walk around and matching Nick's apparel.
You know, they need another year.
She's, like, feeling herself.
Kylie's really been on a vibe lately, and I feel like she'll want to feel that a little longer because I feel like her pregnancies weren't the easiest.
Anyway, how fun.
How fun to, like, do these polls, see what's trending, see where the wind is going to blow.

Now to today's guest, I'm super excited because I went to see Supergirl.
I went.
I took Noah, my little Nepo.
baby to a screener for Supergirl.
It is PG-13, but listen, he's seen Deadpool, which is rated R.
So I was like, you guys were good.
WB, we are good.
DC Universe, let him in.
Anyway, so we went by ourselves and we went to see the screener for Supergirl.
And I loved it so much.
First of all, it was such a special time.
Noah's almost six and, like, just getting to do things with him.
You know, we like took an Uber, like, ate SNAP.
Chilled at the movie theater.
It's just, like, so fun to have that one-on-one time.
And he's so into superheroes.
And I was just like, you're seeing a new superhero movie before anybody else sees it.
Do you know how cool you are?
And he doesn't.
I mean, the Nepos, they never really appreciate what they get.
But we had so much fun in the movie, and it was so fun to see him actually get it.
I'd be like, like, I actually didn't.
I was asking him questions.
Like, why did this happen?
He was like, she's too close to the yellow sun.
I was like, he's so close to the yellow son.
Anyway, it was super fun.
I love the movie.
The whole movie I go to him,
Supergirl is so cool.
She's so cool.
She's so badass.
Then I had to explain what badass men,
but she is so cool.
So is the actress who plays her,
Millie Alcock.
I've seen her in Sirens.
You've seen her in House of the Dragon.
She is brilliant at what she does.
And the perfect Supergirl,
because this Supergirl is like this, like,
very cool, edgy.
doesn't want to be a superhero kind of vibe, and that's just her.
She's giving Kristen Stewart vibes cool, is what I'm telling you.
Like, this is another level, and she's a star.
And she's here today.
So enjoy my conversation with Millie.
Yay.
Millie Alcock is here.
Yay.
I have such a fucking, like, I'm 12 years old question.
Okay.
Okay.
So since there's a cock in your last name, did you ever get made fun of?
Oh my God, yeah.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, still to this day.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, it's because my name is Alcock, but it's A.L.
So people say Alcock.
Gotcha.
Which is really fucking annoying because I'm like, you wouldn't be like alcohol.
You know what I'm saying?
But I get it because that's your comeback.
That's like, you wouldn't say alcohol.
But it's because you would say it like always also.
Right.
In any other context.
That's like my only kind of touchstone word.
You're going like, you wouldn't say, you wouldn't say alcohol.
But so when I was.
thinking about that because of my end of a 12 year old, I was like, maybe they didn't because
if you're like Wilcock are people doing that? I actually have a very funny story talking about
cocks. I was on my like set visit for House of the Dragon. I'm like, you know, 21. I haven't
started shooting yet. And I'm like, you know, doing a set visit and everyone's like, this is Billy
all cock. And I'm like, sorry, it's, it's Alcock. And I went, you know, well, Lisa's not Hancock.
And one of the producers looks at me, and he's like, he looks at his chair and he points in his last name.
He was like Peter Hancock.
His name was Hancock.
Did you have like a?
I was mortified.
I was like I'm minified right now.
Like a foot in your mouth situation.
I do have, yeah, I just don't think before I speak at all.
How is that in Hollywood to deal with?
I mean.
Did you get better at it?
I'm getting better at it.
But whenever I think before I speak, I'd sound.
weird.
You're like, that's less fun.
That's less fun.
Yeah.
It's going to buy me in the butt, but for now, I don't know.
I know.
I'm just a girl.
I'm not trying to be perfect, you know?
Yeah, I think it's like.
If you set the precedent, then you'll fine.
I feel like if you rebrand, that's when people get a bit.
Yeah.
Confused.
Yeah.
I feel like I've seen TikToks of you on the red carpet that are just so funny.
Like, which, like, reporters sometimes do ask like,
Okay, I feel bad for celebrities and actors promoting movies to have to do not podcasts because they're the best, but a lot of red carpet interviews when you get asked these like really specific questions.
Like when they're like, what song would you want, you know, playing during the scene?
And you're like, ah!
Yeah, you're so put on the spot.
And do you black out and forget every song that ever existed?
Ever existed that's ever played.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
Another thing that my 12-year-old brain is that you were born in the year 2000.
So I thought you could always know how old you are really quickly.
It's like the best year to be born, you know?
It's like, it's so easy.
It's like how old it's like the year.
The year.
The year.
I am the year.
If it's post May, May is the month after April.
It's the year.
Because I'm born in April.
Right.
You know.
So if it's after May, then it's the year.
But if it's before, it's the year before.
See, now I'm confused.
If it's May.
If it's May.
Wait, my birthday's in April.
No, okay.
So let's say the year's 2027.
Yeah.
If it's May, 2027, I'm 27.
If it's March, 2027, I'm 26.
Right.
We're right.
Right.
Okay.
Now I'm tracking.
You got it.
I totally got it.
Cool.
So now you're 26 or 27?
I'm 26.
So it's such a baby.
I know.
So young.
I know.
So young.
I feel young and old at once.
And you have two younger brothers.
Uh-huh.
What's that like?
It's great.
Yeah, I was the eldest of two younger brothers.
We were all very different.
We all do very different things.
And it's like four years apart between the three of us.
Like four, like each.
No, no, no.
Like my, like, between all three of us, my youngest brother is four years younger,
three and a half years younger than me.
Oh, wow.
She just like, my mom just like churned us.
She turned you out.
Yeah.
Well, eldest daughter is fun because you kind of set the tone.
No, for your mom.
Yes.
I feel like.
Because I've noticed that oldest, you kind of set the tone of like, this isn't a crazy house.
You're like the co-parent.
Right.
Very quickly.
Yeah.
So you did that.
You were like the helper.
Yeah.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
And are they like wild boys with a ball?
Well, my brother is a professional rugby player.
I'm a youngest brother.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
So they have a ball.
So they have a ball.
Yeah.
He's a, yeah, he plays to the Western Force.
And then my other brother works in.
agriculture works. I don't know. He's got one of those real jobs. And this is the way I describe it.
He basically works with bodies of parliament and indigenous bodies to help promote sustainable
farming and like give back land. Like he's doing like really, really good stuff for the environment.
Wow. We are doing really different things? Yeah. So are both of them in Australia? Yeah, my whole family's
in Oz. I'm the only one. Yeah. In Oz. That's the shortcut. It's, it's always shortened.
Everything is always shouldn't.
In Australia, right?
Yeah, I don't know why.
You guys love nicknames too.
Yeah.
What's yours?
Millie.
Right, because you were Amelia.
Yeah, Amelia May.
I love that name.
No, it's so, I should have gone with that name.
You might have.
I feel like an idiot, but.
Like, it's very stuck, but it might be even too, you know what I mean?
It's too like.
It's like, like, Maryland Monroe and Amelia May.
I'm not graceful enough to be Amelia May just yet.
Yeah, but like the play on that.
The play on that will be fun.
Yeah.
Maybe I'll have another future endeavor.
Down the line.
I think so.
Your new skin care is Amelia May.
Your new skincare brand.
Yeah.
By the way, I love both names.
Like May for a girl I also really love.
Yeah.
So you grew up with two younger brothers.
How stoked are they that you're doing like a DC comic superhero movie?
Yeah.
I mean, they're excited.
Yeah.
But I'm just still Millie, you know.
If anything, Australians really like.
to bring you back down to Earth.
We have like tall poppy syndrome.
Yeah, I was told about this.
Yeah, it's not actually,
for those who don't know,
it's not actually like a syndrome.
It's more like a cultural kind of thing.
It's very the opposite of like America's kind of cultural.
hype you up.
Hipe you up and it's called tall poppy syndrome
and it's when the poppies grow too tall.
You have to cut them back down to size.
So it's very playful,
but it is just like making sure that like no one is too big for their boots.
Like if you do really well,
it's kind of like,
what?
It's like calm down.
You're still the same bitch.
Yeah, yeah.
So that's how they are with you.
Yeah.
They're like,
you might be running all over the world,
like being a movie star.
Yeah.
But you're still.
Yeah.
Which I think is really good for you.
It is.
Yeah.
Maybe that's why you Australians are like making it so big in Hollywood.
Maybe.
Because you have this like cool yet humble,
but like work hard.
When did you?
did you always know you wanted to do acting?
Yeah, it was kind of my only skill as a child.
I was really bad at school.
I was held back in year two,
and then I eventually dropped out of high school.
Wait, year or two of?
It's like grade two.
Oh, grade two, yeah, yeah.
But you just say year for some reason.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it was like the only thing that I was really good at.
I remember doing Little Red Rocking Hood.
Is that not, is that Red Robin Hood,
but in Australia.
Well, it's like, I don't know.
It's like red rioting hood,
but I think it's like a nativity play version
where like, you know,
in like a nativity play
where they like add all these other characters
so that everybody can have a part
like there's a tree,
you know,
all of this shit.
So what were you?
I was little red rock and hood.
Okay.
I was the girl.
You were the girl.
And I remember like dancing on that little stage
and being like,
I want to feel this adrenaline
for the rest of my life.
Wow.
Yeah.
So you did a play like for fun
and then found like,
no, but I love this.
Yeah.
And then when,
So you dropped out when you got your first gig?
I mean, kind of.
I did this TV show in Australia called Upright with Tim Minchin.
And I was in my final year of school.
I was doing my HSC.
And it was like, okay, I have to go and sit on my final exams
while shooting this show across rural schools in Australia.
Or I just drop out and I dropped out.
How did your, like, mom?
She was like, do it.
Yeah.
He was a high school dropout.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's sick to have that kind of support.
Yeah.
Wow.
So she was like, go follow your dream.
Yeah.
She was like, what do you?
Yeah, why not?
So how do you go about that in our street?
Like get the agent, get the, get all the stuff in place?
Well, I went to a performance out to high school.
Oh, okay.
And all my friends had agents and they were all very musically talented.
They all did like chitty, shitty, shing bang and like Annie and like, you know, all those like musical theater type shit.
Yeah.
That's not my bag.
But.
But as I was going to say, you don't seem like a musical theater.
I'm not a musical theater.
And they all had agents.
And I was like, what is an agent at like the ripe old age of 13?
And I just started like cold calling agents.
And I was like, hi, can I join your agency?
And they were like, yeah, just do an audition at this time.
And I was like, Mom, we're going to go.
And I've got an audition.
I'm going to do it.
Yeah.
And then they signed me.
So what was the, was House of the Dragon your first American role in America?
No, it was in the UK.
Oh, in the UK, right?
Yeah, it was my first, like, international kind of thing.
International.
And did you move to London after that?
Yeah.
Tell me about getting that role, which was huge.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
It was crazy.
So I was, like, it was like 20, 19.
And I used to throw, I had like an art collective with my friends in Marigville in Sydney, Australia.
earlier and we would throw warehouse parties in these different warehouses that my boyfriend
at the time was living in and then at another warehouse.
They were like live music events.
We would curate the gallery space with like friends who are visual artists and then like do
all the visuals and stuff for the live bands that were playing.
And then we would shoot their music videos and like make short films.
It was like a very like fun, creative.
Wow.
Time.
Yeah.
We were like so broke.
But it was.
And so cool.
It was so much fun.
So I was doing that.
And then I got, yeah, just an email saying like untitled HBO TV show.
Can you put down a tape?
And I think it was YR, which now I know is, was like the character name, which now I know is like Young Grenierre.
Yeah.
And I remember going to my friend's house, who's also an actor Will McDonald's house, shooting his self-tape.
And he was like, this is a scene for Game of Thrones.
So you auditioning for Game of Thrones?
And I was like, what is Game of Thrones?
And it turns out it was.
And then they asked for another self-tape like a couple weeks later.
Did you go back and watch Game of Thrones?
I didn't until I booked the part because I don't like to...
Like jinx it?
It's not even that.
It's like you just kind of have to really be who you are
and approach it from your own unique, special, independent angle.
As soon as you try and mimic something, it gets very muddied.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like you could be influenced and you don't want to be.
that. Yeah, you want someone to really see you and the choices that you actively are making. Yeah,
and then like... Well, I read that the, the showrunner said he knew it was you from the first meeting.
Yeah, it's crazy. And the fandom got obsessed. Yeah. Which is always a great thing to have a toxic fandom,
you know, like to have those, like, rider dies that will like... You want them on your side.
Like, they were really upset when you, when you, when you, when, you...
And they didn't need her to be young anymore.
Yeah.
Right?
When they had to flash forward 10 years.
Yeah.
How did you, I mean, you knew going into it that it was only five episodes.
Yeah.
I did.
And you made such an impact on five episodes.
I know.
It's crazy.
But apparently there's like a theory for stuff like that.
I think it's like it's kind of like when you watch a rom-com and the first person that you see the romantic
interest interact with subconsciously your brain wants them to be together.
To end up together.
So I think that the audience had a similar feel.
towards me and Emily, me and the other younger characters.
But I think Emma has done such a phenomenal job.
You were protective when people were upset about the change.
I mean, I was just really protective of them
because there's this young actor really putting themselves out there
and has done such an incredible piece of work.
And for that to be diminished just over something as kind of,
I don't know, it's like it's not their fault that that was the choice
that was made in the way that they were writing the show.
But, yeah, Emma's the coolest.
Super cool.
Are you friends?
With them?
No, but I think when I think all of us live in a very similar area.
Oh, yeah?
I saw, yeah, live Cook.
We're all like in a certain part of London.
Oh, so how did your move to London happen?
Did it happen after the show?
Yeah, I just kind of stayed.
Do you love it?
I do.
I love London.
Is L.A. calling your name at all?
No.
No.
Do you don't like it over there?
No, no, I can't drive.
And also like the green card situation.
So because I'm a.
I could get a visa really easily in the UK because we're a part of the Commonwealth and I'm on a different visa.
But if I wanted to live in America, I would have to forfeit that visa and then I would have to spend at least six months a year in the US.
And because of my job, I don't know if it's going to film here.
Yeah, if things are going to happen or if that's going to fall into place.
It's a very long process to get a visa.
It's a very expensive process to get a visa.
And I don't think I want to fork out another like 15K to.
to relocate.
I'm feeling, I feel like we don't consider that with actors that are not from here,
that you, like, have to be legal.
The bureaucratic world of, like, figuring out visas is so frustrating.
It's hard.
I don't understand how anybody, I'm very fortunate that I can afford to have access to, like,
immigration lawyers and stuff like that.
But I cannot fathom how difficult and confusing, and they purposely make it confusing
so that certain people just kind of give up
trying to end to the country.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But we got London.
Got London.
And you would have to give that up
if you wanted to do America.
Yeah, yeah.
Damn.
Yeah.
It's all very complicated.
I also saw that you were telling a story
about having to have an acting coach
when you got House of the Dragon
when they told you.
Even though having the knowledge now
that they fell in love with you right in the room
and knew they wanted you,
at the time you said you said you
felt like it was like kind of like a gap-hunt. Yeah, it was like my second day on set. You know,
I was 21. I felt so out of my depth. And I think at the time being that age, it just really bruised
my ego. It really reinforced beliefs that I didn't deserve to be there. I wasn't talented
enough that they would recast me. But upon reflection, you know, being a bit older and a bit more
mature, it's all to benefit the work. It's all to benefit the body of the show that we are
creating. No one is kind of trying to make me feel bad. Yeah. So it was a really great learning
experience. And now I work with an acting coach. So I'm really grateful that that happened. You know the
Sopranos? Yes. So James Gandalfini, who played Tony Soprano, his daughter, Meadow. Yeah.
She was on my show and she had a similar experience. And then she was saying how James Gandalfini was like,
everyone has a fucking acting coach.
Like he told her,
he was like,
Tom Cruise has an athlete.
He's going to have a PT.
Yeah.
I don't know why with art that we're kind of.
You get like,
wait,
am I not just naturally amazing?
Exactly.
Yeah.
But yeah,
I won't forget that
because he literally said like
everyone you know
that is doing this
has this.
Yeah.
So you're saying
when you kind of let the ego.
Yeah.
Because I've done everything like by myself,
you know.
Yeah.
Like with agents and calling
and like getting myself into rooms.
Yes.
So it felt very much like, I didn't want to admit that I needed help.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I get that.
Yeah.
But listen, now and then you got the teams, you got the things.
Like, but you know that you could do it on your own, which is so cool.
Yeah.
We'll be right back after the break.
Honey pups, Johnny Pups, Johnny, Pups.
So Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny, Johnny Pops.
Johnny Pops.
You guys not know Johnny Pops because my freezer is full.
And you know why?
It's because they are frozen pops that are made with simple ingredients and most importantly,
no artificial dyes.
And also they have such amazing variety for the family.
If you have one kid that likes, you know, chocolate, you got the chocolate fudge minis.
If you got a kid that likes the more fruity flavor, you've got chocolate dipped strawberry,
organic unicorn twist, rainbow fruit stacks, something for everybody.
And even now, they have a new, no added sugar options.
So so many delicious options to choose.

As a mom, I really don't have time to be a huge supplement girly.
I've talked to you about this before.
I can't do a whole cabinet of powders and add one powder for breakfast, two for lunch, three for dinner,
shoving some powders in between.
I'm like, how do people do so many different powders?
So when I found out that parallel protein has protein fiber and creatine all in one scoop,
I was like, okay, that's for me because I need a three and one.
I need a three and one.
So the fact that people are out here buying protein fiber and creatine separately.
And meanwhile, parallel has all three and one scoop this whole time is genuinely upsetting to me.
Like you need to get on the parallel train and get the three and one, you guys.
That means 20 grams of complete plant protein to support that lean muscle, five grams of fiber to keep you regular without the bloat,
three grams of creatine for brain and muscle support.
So there is no sugar added, but it tastes so good, this creamy,
vanilla flavor. Also, it's doctor formulated. It's safe for pregnancy and postpartum, which is huge.
It's plant-based. It's micro-heavy metal and purity tested for every batch. So if you're a busy woman
who just needs nutrition to be simple, one scoop, three jobs, done. Go to parallel held.com. Use code

Supergirl. I love it so much. You saw it. I not only did I see it. I took my five-year-old,
even though I know my, is it PG-13? Yeah. Okay. Well, no one can handle it.
And we had the best time.
It was so special.
I loved it so much.
The whole movie, I go to him like, I even said badass.
He's like, what's badass?
I was like, her.
Like, she's fucking badass.
I loved it so much.
Well, thank you.
I'm so excited for the world to see it.
No, soon.
What date are we?
It's like two days.
Two days.
Two days.
Two days.
Friday, I think, yeah.
How are you feeling about it?
I'm nervous.
You know,
naturally.
But I'm really proud of the work
that everybody has done.
I absolutely adore Craig Gillespie,
our director.
He's put in so much heart
into this film.
Arna has written
a beautiful, beautiful script.
But it's always scary
when you do something
that has like...
A fandom.
Yeah, that has a fandom
because in this weird way
that doesn't normally happen
for other parts,
they kind of,
the character belongs to them
in this really bizarre way.
So you're kind of
trying to get there
acceptance for this person.
So yeah, I just hope that people really
resonate with her.
Yeah.
How was the reaction to your casting?
I don't know.
Because like if you're saying,
because I know this happens with books as well,
because now like books get adapted into movies too.
So they're like,
she never.
We love preexisting IP.
We're right.
The Hollywood loves a preexisting.
I don't think you could get some,
can you get something he made that's like not a pre-existing.
Well, obsession.
was obsession?
Because Backrooms wasn't.
Backrooms was based off a show
but I don't know if an obsession was...
Oh, that might be a...
It might have been.
Oh, okay.
You're like, I have an example.
I think I have an example.
Sinners.
Right.
Well, I think people are going to die for you in this.
I really think...
And I think David Hornet said it about you.
That he was like, you're just...
The way he said it.
Too cool for school.
He's a little bit of a dad, right?
He is like...
Kind of a dork, but in the sweetest way.
That's what I mean about a dad.
You know what I mean?
Yes, I could tell.
But he is a dad.
He has two daughters.
Oh, he is a dad.
Yeah, so his first daughter, his daughter, June was born, like, just as I started shooting Superman.
And his second daughter, Eve, was just as they started shooting the second one.
I was like, David, your poor wife is just.
I didn't even know he was a dad.
He was got two daughters, yeah.
That's so cute.
Yeah.
I meant dad instead of, like what you were saying.
I know what you mean.
Because the minute he said like, well, Millie is too cool for school.
I was like, oh, which you are.
Thanks.
Which like, but it's true.
Like they needed somebody for this who was like, edgy.
Like had that.
And but also had that like heart.
Yeah.
Tell us a little bit about what you can say about kind of what the movie is about for people that don't.
Read comics.
What is the movie about for people that don't read comics?
A dog.
A dog.
I would say this story follows Kara, who is celebrating her 23rd birthday.
And she befriends a young girl, Ruthie, who's trying to venge something that's happened to her family.
And my dog gets sick.
And we both kind of go in this intergalactic tour?
No, that's the wrong.
Mission.
Adventure
Yeah
Across space
To kind of
To kind of help heal ourselves
At the same time is
Yeah
I don't really know
I don't explain it
It's two girls dealing with trauma
Who don't know how to deal with it
And they discover that they actually need
Each other to overcome what has happened to them
I
So, okay
The way I saw it was like
Your character Kara
Who's Supergirl
Yeah
Is like kind of at a low point in life
Yeah
She's kind of a mess
Yeah.
In this like oversized sunglasses,
down in drinks.
Yeah.
Somewhere in the galaxy,
but it's like relatable.
Yeah.
When you find out what happened to it,
you're like,
I'd be doing the same thing,
girl.
I know.
It's funny how it's like relatable,
even though it's not relatable,
because you like arrived from Krypton something.
That amount of tragedy, I think, is...
When Superman pops you out of that egg
and you have your little...
Mm-hmm.
I was like
That's kind of like
That was my first day on set as well
Oh really?
I was with David and I was just kind of
In this little like suit
And it was fucking freezing in London
So I felt very
Did you film an actual like a snow
No no no no
We filmed at this lot in Leavesdom
Which is also where I shot House of the Dragon
It's like the big water brothers
Place out in Wotford
No it was fake snow
But it felt like there was ice
Like it was it was the beginning of January
It was freezing
No, that's so funny because in that moment where, you know, I'm looking at you in that time, in that space.
The cute little like aeroscent, purple padded.
Like, it looked like kind of a ski outfit.
But I was getting claustrophobic.
In my, you know, my mind, I'm going, how did she like travel in that?
Like, wasn't she claustrophobic?
Like, this is how into the movie I got.
Yeah.
I was wondering if Kara, the super girl, was getting claustrophobic in the.
based traveling egg.
I feel like it was pretty quick.
It was like it's a quick trip.
It's a quick trip.
It's a quick stop.
Because there's also no bathroom in there.
Right.
So if you girls are going to go.
Right. God forbid, crypto's got to go.
Right.
Crypto the dog.
Crypto the dogs.
Which I feel like I'm putting like a dog in a movie,
there's always points to that.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like it's a move.
Like, of course we want like the whole movie I'm going to my son.
Like, she's going to save the dog.
Don't worry.
We don't care about people just animals
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm like, don't worry.
The dog is going to be okay.
I know it.
She's going to save the dog.
What was it working with an animal like?
Well, no, don't.
I mean, like, it's like, yeah, it's not a real dog.
None of it?
No.
Stop!
Did you think it was a, I'm not going to go there?
Yeah, it's like, it's all, thanks to our amazing VFX department,
who are kind of like the unsung heroes of making this film.
Okay.
Obviously, I didn't think he was real when he was, like, levitating and, like, doing that kind of stuff.
No, no, no, no, no.
So it's like them.
They're like, they're so incredible.
Wow.
VFX department.
Yeah, no, sometimes we had like an animatronic dog for the stuff in the healer's hut.
And then the scene that you're talking about in the pod, I was actually holding like a Jack Russell,
but that was like a reference for size.
Yeah.
But usually I was miming or it was kind of like a gray weighted kind of sack in the same shape.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
Crypto.
I know.
What was it like learning Kryptonian?
Right.
Yeah.
What is it written like on your script?
Well, I get sent it.
It's by the same guy that does all the High Valerian.
I think he's like the linguist.
Okay.
For these worlds.
It's like his full-time job is like creating all these fake language.
It's kind of insane.
Yeah.
So I would get sent it like phonetically.
So I would get like sent like the words kind of spaced out in the way that I would say it.
And some would be uppercase if the inflection is.
higher or lower, da-da-da, and then you get sent it kind of all together, and then you get sent
the English version of it. But the guy would, like, change the grammar. Okay. Which would always
kind of like, the attention to details, incredible, but would always really baffer me because I'd be
like, but the audience is going to read the subtitles in English without the grammatical,
kind of like switching of words, which was just a nice little flare and nice touch. Do you remember any
of the? I don't. I really. Because you like, I can memorize it.
I don't remember, like, where I am right now.
So, yeah.
But you kind of just learn it, like, learning a song in another language, like, rhythmically.
Yeah.
And then you just have to know it really front to back fundamentally in English to, like, know what you're saying, like, getting across what you're saying.
Right.
Because you need to know, like, the context of what you're saying.
Right.
No, that was crazy.
But I loved how she also had, like, a weird relationship with the suit, right?
Yeah.
She didn't want to put on the suit.
Yeah, I loved that.
I thought it was just so.
Refreshing.
And another refreshing thing is like,
no one really was like Supergirl.
Like, no one really said Supergirl.
No.
In the whole movie.
No.
Maybe I don't even know if by the end.
I don't know.
She's like, I wasn't there.
I wasn't there.
I'm not even here.
Yeah.
But I, and I,
and the other thing that I think,
if you ask me what the point of the movie is,
is the, you know,
how your mother,
where your mother told you
what Kara's mother told her.
Yeah. How to be good.
Yeah. Yeah.
But I liked how she said
you don't have...
Yeah. Or was that Ruthie said it to you?
You don't have to be...
Ruthie kind of says it back to me,
but I don't think she realizes
what my mother has said, yeah.
It's like, you don't have to be...
Kind.
Kind.
Or like...
Nice?
Yeah, you don't have to be nice, but you have to be kind.
You don't have to be strong,
but you have to be tough.
It was like something like that,
which I think is so beautiful.
And good was the essence.
Yeah.
Be good.
Yeah, because, you know, Superman has a different definition
of what it means to be good.
And I think Cara's definition of what it means to be good is different.
And I really like it.
I really adore it.
And it like suits who you are.
Yeah, it's kind of, I always feel like with comic book films,
oftentimes the audience is told who they should be.
but this film was a really beautiful reflection
of showing the audience who they are.
And yeah, I think it's just really refreshing.
It is because, you know, I feel like I could think of myself
and say, like, I know I'm a good person.
Like, can I be a bitch?
Or can I be not the nicest that day?
Yeah.
So I feel like it really met me.
I was like, you know what?
The most important thing is that you're good.
Yeah.
Like, so what if you're in a,
bad mood one day and you're not the nicest or whatever.
Yeah.
And I felt like that was the vibe of Supergirl.
Yeah.
What was it like doing those fight scenes?
It's actually really fun.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Your adrenaline goes like, boink.
Like, it just goes like to the roof because there's like, you know,
six foot four men in these like armored suits running at you on a wire.
So you've got like hit them at the right points.
The wire goes off the right time.
Yeah.
There's like explosions going on.
It's really fun.
It is really fun.
And like you know that like you're going to, you can take them.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know that you win, which is even better.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It is so cool how she just like walks around her trench coat.
Yeah.
What was the outfit?
Was it, did you, how did you get to that outfit that she's in the whole time?
I think Craig kind of, that was like the only version of the outfit.
She's not someone who like kind of wants to be seen.
like wants to be perceived.
And I think the trench was also so important
getting the right cut of the trench and everything
and the right weight of the fabric
so that when she's flying with the trench coat,
it still looks really beautiful.
Like we still kind of have that dimension
as if it were a cape.
And the boots, apparently Craig's wife, Chris,
walked past Miumium was like those boots.
Like she wanted those boots.
Look at you in Miu Miu.
They're Mewo. They are so...
Are you a brand ambassador yet?
I'm not a baron ambassador of anything.
going to be.
I hope so.
Yeah.
When you were doing this in the air,
yeah.
Did you, what did it feel?
Did it feel silly?
It feels silly.
It feels silly.
It feels silly.
It feels silly.
But you're kind of just like dangling in the air.
And you can't get your arm like too high up because the costume is so tight.
And you're in a harness.
So like you really got to stretch.
What about the costume?
Did that go through iterations?
Like the actual supergirl?
The suit?
Yeah, yeah, the suit.
Yeah.
because I wore the suit in Superman and that was the same body, like the same top.
Yeah.
That's a body suit.
And the skirt and boots were different and the cape was also different.
And then Anna, our costume designer, who had a fucking 80th birthday on this job.
80th?
80th birthday.
She's a queen.
She's an icon.
She's adorable.
I'm obsessed with her.
She redid the suit.
And I remember she really advocated it.
She like her and James kind of like, you know, and she really advocated.
catered for this version of the suit, which is very true to the comic book that it's based off.
So we have the over-the-kneed boots.
There's three different zips in the boot.
There's like a sock lining for support because they're healed for like fight scenes and everything.
The skirt is flowier.
The belt is different.
And then the cape was material that she had sourced from a previous iteration of Superman.
I think it might be Matt Reeves.
I don't quote me on it.
People already have.
But it's like a very, they have like 16 meters of this.
this material.
She was trying to find one
that kind of matches it.
Wait, when you were in
Superman 2025,
you already knew
you were a supergirl.
Yeah.
Okay.
I like pop in a super girl.
Right, you pop in.
So that was already like,
that was like pretty quickly
after I'd been cast.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Yeah.
How was that being in that little cameo?
Did it give you like
the itch and excited to do your own thing?
Yeah, it was really exciting.
We were in the Fortress of Solitude,
which also as a set is so
amazing. Yeah, there's like fake ice, like icicle walls and crystals and then like the robots
were all there, which are actually people. And Alan, who plays Gary the robot is like just so
funny. Yeah. And I was kind of like, okay, wow, this is this is what I'm, what I'm getting
myself into. What about like stunt doubles or did you do most, you had one? Yeah. Yeah. Mickey.
Mickey is a real super girl. She's phenomenal. She's like everybody's stunt double.
really. She is amazing. Nobody can move like her.
Did you, were you ever like, but I want to try to do that?
Yeah, but then sometimes you can do it.
They will push you, but they'll also protect you.
Like, they'll be like, you've done too many takes in a row.
You need to stop because you're going to burn out. We need you tomorrow.
So it's also just being aware like, okay, what's going to get this done in the most
economical way?
Yeah.
Not only for the cast and the crew, but for the stunt department because there's so many moving
parts and trying to sell a stunt instead of me just being like, I want to do the stunt.
It's like we're wasted a day and a half.
Like, you're not going to, it's not like safe.
If you do it, it's quicker if we just kind of do it really efficiently.
A professional.
Yeah.
Does it.
Yeah.
Because they're also itching to get on.
You know what I mean?
Right.
These guys, this is their life and they're so, so.
And they're so good at it.
They're so good at it.
Yeah.
What was like the hardest thing to shoot in the movie?
There was this one stunt that was really kind of.
of daunting, kind of scary to do.
It was with me and Eve and there was like a big hole in the ground and we had a cameraman
running backwards and I was running towards them and me and Eve both had to grab it.
It was a sizable hole.
Yeah.
And me and Eve, we were on like the, they built a house.
So it was like the bottom floor was actually a set, but it was the set for the house.
And me and Eve had to run and I had to grab home.
We had to like both jump over this thing.
And then you're flying.
And then we fly.
But we would jump over it and like sometimes just miss it or like then I had to do a scene that's
just before I pop through the ceiling.
And it's like this hole that's like so tight and you can't see anything.
And there's all this smoke and like debris.
Oh, so that's happening.
That's coming up.
So you have to like jump up and land and like not fall.
Like anything like that was kind of scary, but it was really fun.
And you were saying that you did get some bruises and bumps.
Yeah.
Anything serious?
No, just like a lot on like my thighs and legs and shins from like the harnesses and stuff.
Oh, from like that.
Yeah, because you were saying that David.
I'd ask for advice, but the only thing you were told is like,
you're going to get bumps and bruises.
Yeah.
And he'll be fine.
Yeah.
I had a lot of bruises.
We'll be right back after the break.
Again, I'm just hashtag bless and honor that SpinDrift is a sponsor of my pod.
I love you back, Spindrift.
And I love you before you loved me.
So there's that.
There's that.
I just want to say that.
I just want to say that.
But I really, like, can explain and express to you enough how much spin drift is different
from all the other sparkling waters because,
comes directly from nature.
Okay, you could taste the difference of real squeezed fruit in Spindrift.
You could see it in the ingredients, and it just tastes better and is better for you.
Okay?
It's unsweetened, so there's no added sugar and just a few calories from that real squeezed fruit.
We were talking about it as light, it is bubbly.
It has a perfect amount of bubbles, by the way.
By the way, there are new flavors that I'm obsessed with.
Blood orange chandrine give it to me.
There's also this new orange mango flavor that I'm obsessed with.
add ice at home and you're like, is this a mocktail? Like, is this a mocktail? I just love
Spindrift so much. I'm a girlie that I need some flavor in my drink when I'm like eating
and stuff like that. So Spindrift has really made all the difference for me. And it's something you
feel so good about because it's so good inside and out. My listeners can get 15% off their next order

somewhere on the road, you know me, Jack Kerak, okay, Jackie Kerouacchi, and I go into a gas station
or wherever.
And a Starbucks
Grappuccino drink is misty
and cold and yummy.
And it's staring me right in the face
and it's saying, honey,
you're home,
even though you're in the middle of nowhere,
the minute you pop off this cap,
you're going to feel right at home.
And it's so true.
And what I love about it the most,
it's just the perfect,
delicious blend of, like,
indulgence and coffee.
Like, it puts the day right on track
and you can buy it for your home.
Stock it up, okay?
Stock up your fridge
with Starbucks forabuccino.
drinks and see how excited your guests get when you are like, oh, you want something to drink.
You want to water? And they're like, eh. You're like, you want to coffee? They're like, eh. You're like,
I have a Starbucks Rappuccino drink in my fridge. Here it is. It's made a glass. And they get so
excited. They really do because it's a sweet moment of joy in a busy, busy day. And I will say this.
For me, coffee has to be sweet. Like, I appreciate you black coffee drinkers out there,
but I'm like, you're sad. You're sad because I get a little something in,
every coffee that I drank and just makes me happy. It's that perfect, perfect treat with coffee,
you know? So you could find bottled Starbucks Rappuccino drinks wherever you buy your gas or your
groceries. I just posted a carousel this week of my look for Get Real and I am just a comfort
for a scurly. Like I live in lounge wear. So I love my crocs.
Like crocs, shoes are so comfortable.
You can wear them all day and you forget you're wearing shoes.
You're like, am I at a spa?
Am I walking and getting a foot massage?
I just like a slip and go situation.
Like I'm always on the run.
My life is crazy.
So I don't have time to like tie shoes.
Like there's no time for tying, okay?
I love that I can grab them on my way out of the door and never have to sacrifice
convenience or style because I think they look so darn cute.
Okay?
fight me. Crocs shoes come in so many fun silhouettes, some are more elevated. Like right now,
my new faves are the classic crafted clogs, which are made with 100% soft washed canvas. Okay.
I love these so much. I feel like they elevate the crock a little bit. Like you can wear them
with, you know, jeans or slacks. And then you see like kind of the front and you don't have those
crocks holes. So you can't put your little gibbets there, okay? But if you like to keep it simple
and enjoy the embellishments, you can wear the classic buckle clog.
Okay, it comes with this cute buckle that's a little oversized,
and it adds just a touch of elegance to a classic shoe.
There's even a gibbet's charm for anyone.
Visit crox.com or a store near you to find your perfect pair of classic clogs.
And we're back.
How was the premiere the other night?
It was fun.
Yeah.
It was crazy to see everyone.
Yeah, and they showed up.
Harry, dude, Debbie Harry.
Oh, Debbie Harry, yes.
Babe.
Wait, yes, I thought you said Damien Harry.
I thought I was a guy.
Who the fuck is Damien?
Okay, I was like, new hot Gen Z.
No.
Okay, Belandi came to the premiere.
She came and we got a photo.
Is her soundtrack in the movie or something?
With the t-shirt I wear as Blondie t-shirt.
Oh, got you.
Yeah.
So she had to show up.
She had to show up.
Another thing that I thought, I didn't know if you were going to go full-on theme
for this press show.
store. I'm not a theme girl.
You did one sweater. I did a sweater.
You did the sweater. The Chanel, it felt like the only time that I should wear that
sweater. And that is a sweater that exists for anyone to buy?
Yeah, they won't give it to me.
My stylist is like, surely they'll give you like the Supergirl sweater. Nope.
Chanel.
Chanel. And Miumu. And they made a bag as well. They made a Supergirl bag.
Because I think, yeah, A'sat Rocky wore it before me, the week before me.
So did it cross your mind to do a themed thing?
I was kind of like I don't want to do that.
I think it's important for me, especially because I'm quite early out in my, like Supergirl is my first film.
Supergirl is her first film, guys.
It's a big deal.
It's a big deal.
It's to kind of carve out who I am independently from the projects that I've done.
Yeah.
And I like clothes and stuff.
So you do.
Yeah.
She dressed herself.
Look how cute her outfit is.
Such a little cutie.
I love it.
Did you dress yourself for your premieres and stuff?
Or is that like...
No, no, no.
I have a stylist.
Okay.
But you like to have like input and stuff like that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do you think of the trend of the theme?
Now I feel like everyone is doing it.
I don't like.
Yeah.
Each to their own, you do you.
Yeah.
But personally, I wouldn't, I wouldn't do it.
Flash forward five years, you're like...
Oh, yeah, props.
If she flips you guys, it's okay.
People can change a million.
People can change.
We're allowed.
You're allowed to change a minute.
I mean, some people it really works for it.
But yeah, it got, it got overwhelming for me in some movies.
Because I'm, I just got to look back at, you know, old Hollywood.
And I was like, we, they just used to like.
It's the every, it's the commodification of absolutely everything.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Don't love that.
But we love the sweater.
Did you keep the sweater?
No, they didn't love, no.
I thought maybe you bought it.
Oh, my God.
No, I wouldn't buy it.
When would I wear that?
That's like, I don't.
don't want any more attention to myself that I'm already giving myself.
Are you a person that doesn't like attention?
I fucking hate attention.
Shit.
I know.
How does it happen to, like, how, like, I feel like I've met actor.
You're either an actor that like is obsessed with yourself and like narcissists.
But I've also met other ones like you that that don't, but it's such a, it's such a, it's such a, it's such a oxymoron.
Come see me on stage.
It's, it's, it's, yeah, it's different because like.
You're watching. It's kind of, I get what you're saying, but for me personally, I do this job to
disappear and I do this job because fundamentally I find it quite difficult to be who I am.
So I need to, I need to, I need to be these other people because it's easier to comprehend somebody
else's life that's completely laid flat out for you with a neat bow start to finish than it is
to be a person. So being perceived is a really difficult thing because you do it to disappear, but then
you're so visible.
So that's my kind of take.
Yeah, that's my experience towards it is like, yeah.
Like if you could do what you do but not.
Skin suit.
That is my dream.
If I could act, if I could act.
Yeah.
In like a different body and then like take it off and like live my day to day life and
like never do press and like never do any of that.
That would be like like my dream.
Like if you didn't have to like the fame that comes with it.
Yeah.
Really.
Yeah.
So you never wanted to be famous.
You wanted the job.
Yeah.
And now it's hand in hand.
I know.
I like, I've never talked so much about myself until this month and I'm so sick of myself.
I could, I understand what you're saying.
Yeah.
Yeah, I understand.
And like, repeating probably a lot of the same things a lot of times and like stuff like that.
Yeah.
And the being on and the like being on.
Yeah.
You get tired.
Yeah.
Always a camera in your face.
But shooting.
A film is so different.
For 20 hours a day, you're good.
Yeah. It's so different.
It's so different.
So what is the most fun part about the job for you
was disappearing into the character?
Yeah, it's like the doing of it.
But you try something really different.
You're like, ooh.
And you forget it's almost like you get really good at creating
this imaginary world inside of a world.
So like everybody else kind of melts away
and it's just this hyperfixation of this moment that's happening
in real time and you're allowed to feel everything.
That's like my favorite part.
Another thing you said about the movie that I loved is that it's like not centered around a man.
Yeah.
And I usually love a romance.
I love a romance.
Like and I love like when there is some something going on where there's like relationship vibes.
Yeah.
But the minute you said that, I was like, wow.
Like and I didn't even think of that like a love interest or having to do with a guy or a relationship.
And I was like, damn, I like that.
Yeah.
A lot.
I do too.
And it's more like kind of a friendship,
even though she's, I looked up the actress
who plays Ruthie.
I know.
She's 14.
What was it like?
Were you like a big sister to her?
Yeah, I felt really protective of her.
Yeah.
She was like 13, 12.
Like she was young.
She seemed so mature, though.
She is.
Yeah.
And her parents are just like so fucking sweet.
They have done such a beautiful job at raising
this incredibly grounded head on her shoulders.
Young woman.
Yeah.
Yeah, I felt very protective of her,
especially because Eve is still.
in school and, you know, kids get jealous and mean and yeah.
And also, like, being in this arena at that age, I'm just, I feel very protective of her.
When did you do that?
Another clip that came up for me was you doing a tour of your home with your mom in Australia
with that guy?
That was when I auditioned for Supergirl.
That was that trip when I went home.
Yeah, so I haven't been home in a few years.
And he came?
Caleb, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
To do this?
No, he was already there.
I think he had family there.
Oh.
My mom is obsessed with Caleb.
My mom is obsessed with homes.
No.
Every two week, I love her so much, but every like two weeks, my mom would rearrange my home.
Like, no, sorry, rearranged my room.
Yeah.
As a child, which was so frustrating.
There were no posters on the wall.
She had full, she has fabulous taste, as you can see by the video.
Yeah.
So she was like such a fan.
She was freaking out.
She was like, I've got to clean it.
It's like, please.
Her dream come true.
It was her literal dream come true.
And he actually got a drink with us at the pub with my mom and my brothers and my mom's partner.
It was so sweet.
Wait, that result, the house looks so cool.
That was the house you grew up in?
Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Yeah.
That's like how a lot of houses are in Australia.
They're like terrace houses with a backyard.
Yeah.
And you haven't been back since then.
When was that?
24.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Because you've been busy.
Yeah.
Are you going to have some time off now?
Hopefully.
I want to go back for Christmas.
I want to do like a hot Christmas back home.
Oh, that's fun.
Yeah.
Do you hate the flight?
The flight is long, huh?
It's the furthest place you could ever go.
It's 24 hours on an aircraft.
Now from London?
How long?
Basically, yeah, because you've got to like, or it's like 13 and 7 or 14 and 8 or like whatever,
depending on where your layover is.
It is the longest flight.
Do you not love to travel?
I hate planes.
Now, what do you, the turbulence are just being on it.
Just all of it.
I know.
The lines, the customs, the this, the that.
I love a train.
Love.
When are you taking the, what are you doing a train?
Tube.
Oh, like that.
You know.
I do.
I love a train.
Do you get scared or is it just you hate it?
A plane.
Yeah.
A bit of both.
I do get a bit scared.
Yeah.
I've gotten, because my life is amazing now.
I'm scared because I'm like, oh no, what if it all goes?
away. Like the more good things that happen, the more scarier it is. It's true. I can't imagine
like having a child that would be, I would be like I have to live forever. I know. There's actually
no other option. There is something about that like when you, when I travel without my kids and I'm
like, you know. How many kids do you have? Two. What are their names? Noah and Lenny.
That's so cute. Girl and boy. Boy and boy. Boy and boy. What could have been,
Lenny could have been a girl. I know. Lenny's cute for a girl. I went to school with a
I like a Noah.
Yeah.
Noah is like NOA.
Oh, they do NOAA in Australia too?
Yeah.
My first two boyfriends were called Noah.
It's a hot name.
The same, like, yeah.
That's why I named him that because I was like, that's a hot name.
Back to Back.
Back to Back Noah's.
Yeah.
You did your first red carpet with your current boyfriend at the Baptist.
Oh, he's here?
Oh, I didn't see a man.
Yeah.
He's a chef, right?
He's a chef.
Does he cook for you?
Shout out Joe.
He's watching this right now.
Yeah.
Hi, Joe.
Hi Joe.
I know.
Does he cook amazing food for you?
It does.
What's the favorite meal he cooks for you?
What's the favorite meal?
Does a really good steak.
Love a steak.
Love a good steak.
But chefs when they come home don't like to cook.
It makes sense.
It's like comedians.
You're like making me laugh.
Yeah.
They don't.
I get it.
Yeah.
I understand.
So do you cook?
No.
I like assemble.
I like rearrange things.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Like put them like,
okay, what if I get like pre-roached chicken
and like a pre-done salad?
It's kind of like,
it's an assembly dinner,
which I love an assembly dinner.
Do you,
have you been going out in New York?
Have you been able to do fun things
during your press and like go to the rest?
Today is my last day of press.
You're my second last thing.
She's ready to celebrate.
Yeah, so we are going to go out.
You're going to celebrate.
You're going to celebrate.
You go eat.
Yes.
I'm going to go get a good burger.
Which one?
I really like sweet water in Brooklyn.
I haven't tried it.
It's like the patty is like really thick.
It's on like an English muffin.
It's very cute.
And people are talking about it?
I know people are talking about it, but it's my, I like it.
Sweet water.
Sweet water.
Sounds nothing like a burger place.
No, it's kind of like a bistro, Frenchy kind of.
Let me tell you something.
JG.
Mellon that everyone thinks is the best.
Have you heard of it?
No.
It's not the best.
So many things that are like TikTok considered the best,
are you on TikTok?
No.
You're not even on it.
No.
Scroll.
Yeah.
Don't trust a viral restaurant.
I know.
It ruins the like the integrity of the customers that were there before or it promotes
businesses to just become gimmick oriented.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
You are too cool for school.
I'm with David.
I'm with David.
He's the dad.
I'm the mom.
You've done such drastically different roles if you could like manifest what's next.
I really want to do a play.
I want to do a play like a really beautiful.
like kitchen sink drama like independent film yeah yeah i saw that you said one of your favorite movies
is candy yes i love that movie that was shot on my street in sydney growing up so that that park is the
park that i grew up you know what i grew up at i think i watched it way too young because because like
so did i think i probably watched it when it came out and it's one of those movies that i've watched
over and over by the way if you haven't seen candy with heathledger and abby cornish and abby cornish
So beautiful.
But it did.
The fact that I like was probably 12 being like, I'm a drug out.
I'm a drug.
Yeah.
So my area was kind of a bit, as we like to say in Australia, how you're going?
Which just means a bit like off.
A bit.
How you going?
It was like it was like pre-genrification.
We were like the first wave of like young families that like kind of gentrified the area.
Yeah.
But it was all there was like, you know, a methadone clinic.
Oh really?
Up the street.
Yeah.
Because it was all shot there and based around like red.
fun, which is all in the inner west of Sydney.
What a beautiful movie.
So heartbreaking.
Have you seen two hands?
No.
Is it good?
It's so good.
It's a young Rose Byrne.
Yeah, Heath Ledger and a young Roseburn.
He's like a bouncer in the Kings Cross.
Oh, yeah.
No, I saw.
Susie Porter.
I'll watch it.
I'll watch it.
But if you guys haven't seen Kenny, got to see that.
Go watch candy.
So we'd want to do that like more of an independent.
Yeah.
Have you seen Baby Teeth?
I'm going to attention.
No.
Really beautiful Australian film with Toby Wallace, Ben Mendelson, Eliza Scanlon.
I love everything Australian.
I love that you guys say it's a bit, how's it going?
Well, it just means like something is a bit off.
I love that.
It's like, how you going?
It's a bit, how you're going over here?
So, okay, we're manifesting that.
Did you keep anything from the set of Supergirl?
Oh, yeah.
They wouldn't let me.
Someone stole something of mine, though.
I'll tell you later.
from the set.
What?
I'll tell you later.
Okay, she'll tell me later.
I saw you were excited that you saw Rihanna at the Golden Globes.
You were like, Rihanna's here.
Rana's here.
Who else would you, like, be completely star-ruck by?
Sorry, it's the specific question.
Jeff Goldblum.
He's just hilarious.
He is so funny.
Or, like, like, fuck, what's her name?
You wouldn't know her name.
White Lotus.
Which one?
The woman.
Oh, Jennifer Coolidge.
Jennifer Coolidge.
I'd freak out, probably Kate Blanchett.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, Rose By the way, I had to tell you, I loved Sirens.
Oh, thank you.
You were so good in it.
Thank you.
And Megan loves you.
I love Megan.
I could tell, like, every time you post, like, she's the first comment.
And Julie comments here.
Oh, Julianne.
More?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So you had the best time with that.
I had the best time on that job, yeah.
That was in New York.
It was such a creepy.
I know.
It was crazy.
It was kind of fab.
Where is it on?
If you guys haven't seen Sirens, just check it out.
It's on Netflix.
And you played a completely different, like, super yippy, yuppie.
Yeah, super like straight edge.
Yeah.
Girls, like, very, like, feminine.
Like, you could do that.
It was a different accent, right?
It was kind of more of like a...
Yeah, I pitched her higher because she's also masking her pass when you watch the show.
You'll understand.
So she's trying to pretend to be someone else in that sense.
So I wanted her voice to almost change a little bit when she spoke to Megan and when she spoke
to everybody else.
Yeah, it's like.
when we used to call our friends on the phone and the parent would pick up.
And you'd be like, hi, can I speak to it?
And then your friend would be like, hey, what's all?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We do it naturally.
Yeah, we elevate our voice.
Well, thank you for coming.
Thank you.
Go celebrate your last press thing and then get the burger.
I will.
And you guys, too, you have to see Supergirls in theaters June 26th.
