Fleshworn and Hayley, celeb in a pod. Thanks to McCafe, great things are brewing, one cup at a time. Big day on Saturday, wasn't it? Now I have to say, so many people have been so excited for me because we posted the video of you guys basically surprising me on Thursday to tell me that I wasn't interviewing Jason in which I had a full meltdown, somewhat of a panic attack, screamed no for a long time, and then booked a hair appointment.

Thank God I did. It was commented upon. Anyway, and so many people have just been messaging saying, like, good luck, you've got this, you've got this, to the point where I did. I felt a bit of pressure for the people. They wanted so badly for me to achieve. So on Saturday when we met up, knowing that I was about to interview Jason,

I was so nervous. Like, not sort of me being like, hee hee hee, entertaining nervous. Authentically sitting in the corner drinking a glass of Prosecco, not talking to anyone nervous. Now at that stage, you'd already had two shots of tequila. Two shots of tequila and I had a Prosecco at the holding area, I guess, because this is my first ever in-person press junket.

I've never done one before. There are weird, there are, yeah, for people who see them on television but don't know the behind the scenes of them, it's weird. And we haven't done them for a while

because of COVID. It's all been over Zoom lately, which is great because it doesn't involve flying to Sydney for five minutes. But you basically go in a room with all the other media and you're called in one by one. You pretty much get five minutes, super tight turnaround. They video it, they do the audio,

and then they're like, we'll send it to you. So you marched in, you've got little to no time to build a rapport. So in a day, they could have done 100 interviews. Yeah. They crank through. They go through them. He'd already done a morning of Zoom, so the media all over the world. And you're only promised five minutes, and they're there all day.

So you just think how many five minutes you can fit in. And if you get to the point where you're being told to wrap it up, but the person you're interviewing is the one that keeps talking, you're like, this is good. This is going well. Yes. This is going well. They want to keep talking, but the person you're interviewing is the one that keeps talking you're like this is good this is going well yes this is going well they want to keep talking

but it's always quite hard and nobody likes doing these things no and I have been given like the stars that you see they're a little bit

dead behind the eyes a lot of the time because they're just tired they don't want to be there but it's cool when you get an up and comer who's excited to be there yes

or someone who's generally and like loves the project. Yeah. Well, I had sort of been given a slight, because they don't tell you even what order. And I kept saying, Vaughan, I was like, why won't they tell me? Why won't they tell me? And everyone's like, oh, I don't know.

Sometimes they change the order. Make an excuse and say, well, I've got to go earlier and all this kind of stuff. Yeah. And then a couple of people started getting plucked. It was like War of the Worlds. The big hand came down and plucked you out and you were like, ah! And then I was just sitting in the corner absolutely stewing and brewing,

kept catching Karwen's eye across the room and she was giving me reassuring sort of nods and Shannon. I was quivering and then we just heard Hayley. And I was like, oh, my God. Genuinely nervous. Like all of my charm, all of my professionalism, all of my humour just felt like it went goodbye and left me as like a little shell of a person. So we saw you getting into the elevator to go up to wherever they were doing this.

Yes. And you were excited? Yeah, I was. And there was a beautiful, lovely man called Paul, who was a security guard standing outside the room that he was in and someone was in there before me. And he said, oh, I've just been given a bit of a word that he's a bit tired. He's been, he was out with Bloody Tyke the night before. So I think it was probably a bit dusty, but more so he'd been on Zoom all morning. So the general vibe was that he was feeling a bit flat. And then the person came out before me and I was like, now's my time. And then someone else came out and they said, he just wants to have a quick break.

So I was like, man, this dude is over it. Yep. So I get myself up, the door opened and they said, Hayley. And I walked on in and did my interview. Hi. Hi. Welcome. Pleasure Jason. Pleasure. How are you?

I'm really well. I like your boots. Thanks, man. Killer. I like your hemp sneakers. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, I follow you on the gram. If I seem a little nervous, this is actually my first press junket. Really?

Yeah, my first ever. Wow. Congratulations. Yeah, and I've had two shots of tequila and a glass of Prosecco downstairs. She's ready. She's ready. I love it. Jason, I saw your film yesterday.

Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. She's ready. She's ready. I love it. Jason, I saw your film yesterday. Yeah. Congratulations. Thank you. I feel like maybe some people like myself would think that Fast and Furious franchise was not for me. Like, I'm not the target audience, maybe. Right. But now you're in it.

I feel quite targeted, to be fair. Like, directly, quite immediately targeted. I loved your character, the fashion, darling. The darling. The fashion, the nails, everything. Did you have much... It's my girl. Oh yeah, you did the nails? Yeah. Did you have much input with the clothes that you wore? Because I loved it. Yeah, it's actually I pulled that outfit from my costume designer who was my last movie, Trish Somerville. It was a woman's outfit and then I took it and went like, make this bigger.

Yeah. And it was fabulous it and I was like, let's make this bigger. Yeah. And it was fabulous. But I just wanted to use, I thought it would be, pastels are just so welcoming and inviting, not scary. So if I had met the devil or something that was completely evil and it was not scary, I could approach it, and all of a sudden it got me,

and then you're like, oh shit, now I'm in trouble. And so I wanted to make something that softens it just yeah they didn't take it too seriously and then when they got

in close to it it was like it was the scariest thing that you know it was obsessed with you but this is what I love is that you don't take it too seriously

like I feel like with a lot of your characters right you're an evil bastard Jason in this film you're so mean I know

you're so mean I know but you've got such a great sense of humour. I'm a comedian as well, by the way. I've actually put two tickets on the door for my comedy show tonight. I know you've got the premiere, but I'll just give you the flyer. It's just that's me tonight. It's sold out, but I

can make space for Jason. Dude, look at that. Yeah. There's just two tickets under your name under the door at Q Theatre. You can come. I love it. Congratulations. Yes, stuff the premiere. It's going to be boring. Now, look, you're, let me just refer to my notes, my first junket. Now, obviously, I watched the film and I can't help but think about the backstory of the people whose, like, lives are ruined, you know, by the cars that sort of, like, pummel through their businesses.

Yeah. And I sort of wondered if maybe we could, like, do spin-off film you and I like we play like a because I'm an actor I went to drama school three years um we're like we're like an Italian couple and our business has been destroyed by the fast very fast and actually quite furious cars that drive through our shop and we're going to rebuild our shop and our marriage at the same time. I'm in. Are you in? I'm fucking in.

My darling, the shop is ruined. My darling, the shop is ruined. What are we going to do, my love? What are we going to do, my love? And I'm pregnant. We should make more. Yes, we should make more babies. Yes, we should make more babies.

But we've got no money income. How are we going to raise the baby? It doesn't matter. We have sex. We will eat each other. Yes. Okay. For story rights, it sounds just so... It does. You're so talented and I'm obviously extremely talented.

You're also very talented. It's too much talent. We don't even need a fucking script. We don't. It's an improv film. I think like a pencil mustache too. Yeah, like the dirtiest little... Yes, right on the lip. On me or you? On me. Okay, on you. I'll go clean. I'll go clean shave you go clean yeah okay let's dye your hair dark black yes dark black

My darling, my darling. My darling. I'm going to work on it. One last question I just want to ask you. I know you're looking for a New Zealand citizenship at the moment. I want to live here.

I haven't actually tried to get one yet, but I need to do that once I'm not working all the time. There's a real quick way around it, Justin. Yeah? Yeah. This engagement ring does not have a wedding ring with it, so it could be quite easy. If this is your first time. Yeah. Come here.
