00:01 It's shocking how much goes down your shirt.

00:03 It's actually...

00:05 - Hi, I'm Jessica Chastain,

00:08 and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.

00:11 What is the best gift you've received?

00:14 Someone made me a photo album, like scrapbook.

00:17 It was really sweet 'cause they had collected things,

00:21 not just the pictures, but like tickets and poems,

00:26 and they glued some sand in from a certain beach.

00:30 It was very, very sweet.

00:32 (banging)

00:32 I like this.

00:33 Word your friends would use to describe you.

00:37 Loyal, super loyal.

00:39 (banging)

00:40 Oh my God, why does it do that?

00:43 Last song you got stuck in your head.

00:46 I'm around kids a lot,

00:48 so I tend to get a lot of kids songs stuck in my head.

00:50 I don't know, probably "Frozen."

00:52 That's like a...

00:53 - That's the go-to in our house.

00:55 (banging)

00:56 - Word that makes you cringe.

00:57 Cringe, actually.

00:59 I'm so sick of that word.

01:00 I think it's really cringey.

01:02 (banging)

01:04 Last book I read.

01:07 I read Joan Didion's "Slobbering Towards Bethlehem."

01:12 I was in Austria this summer.

01:17 Great short stories.

01:18 The one in San Francisco, oof, that was rough.

01:22 (banging)

01:23 How did you make your first dollar?

01:25 Probably cleaning people's bathrooms.

01:30 When I was a little kid,

01:31 I had this theater group, I guess,

01:36 that I started in my neighborhood,

01:40 and we would go door to door and clean people's houses,

01:43 and we were called the Dirtbusters.

01:45 So we sang the Ghostbusters song, you know?

01:48 (banging)

01:50 - Ooh, two for one.

01:52 What should every woman try at least once in her life?

01:57 Everything.

01:58 - You should try everything at least once in your life.

02:00 - Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer.

02:04 I'm a housewives person.

02:05 (record scratching)

02:09 I hate it so much.

02:11 (banging)

02:13 Do you have any secret talents?

02:15 I can, it's not really a secret, but I can do this.

02:22 (upbeat music)

02:24 Like a witch, like Bewitched.

02:25 Now you all know, I'm a witch.

02:28 (banging)

02:30 Go-to late night snack?

02:34 Wine, delicious wine.

02:36 And...

02:38 (banging)

02:42 What makes you feel most powerful and confident?

02:46 Actually, when I'm eating healthy food.

02:49 I definitely notice a change in my mood

02:53 when I'm eating junk food that tastes so good.

02:58 And when I eat healthy for a few days,

03:01 I feel like I'm a superhero and...

03:03 (sighs)

03:05 I just gotta keep reminding myself that.

03:07 (banging)

03:08 What advice would you give your younger self?

03:11 People are happier with you

03:13 when you stop trying to please them.

03:17 (paper rustling)

03:20 The number one thing on your bucket list.

03:23 It would probably be, well, I don't know,

03:27 because there are things I wanna do,

03:29 but it's not like the thing I wanna do before I die.

03:32 But I've always wanted to go to Nepal.

03:36 That would be really special.

03:38 Those are done, my last one.

03:41 (banging)

03:43 My most star-struck moment?

03:46 It had to have been when I met Gary Oldman.

03:48 It was 2011 on the red carpet at the Palm Spring.

03:53 Oh, and Oprah.

03:54 Hmm.

03:55 Both, I started crying.

03:57 Both my star-struck moments, it was Gary Oldman

04:01 approached me at the Palm Spring Film Festival red carpet

04:05 after I was just talking about him in an interview,

04:07 saying that I saw him at lunch earlier today

04:09 and I was too shy to go up.

04:11 And then he approached me and said

04:12 he saw me at lunch earlier in the day

04:13 and he was too shy to come up to me,

04:15 which was insane.

04:17 And then when I met Oprah,

04:20 I try to avoid her now 'cause I really embarrass myself.

04:23 I think Anne Hathaway introduced me to her at some event.

04:28 And I turned around and she was like,

04:30 "Have you met Oprah?"

04:32 And I looked at her and I again started crying

04:34 and I think I said, as I was crying,

04:37 "You raised me."

04:39 (laughs)

04:40 Which is probably an uncomfortable thing

04:42 for a stranger to tell you,

04:43 but she was very gracious and graceful.

04:47 So yeah, that's it.

04:49 That's my pop quiz.

04:50 Thanks for watching.

04:51 (upbeat music)
