00:00
It's shocking how much goes down your shirt.
00:04
It's actually...
00:05
Hi, I'm Jessica Chastain and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:12
What is the best gift you've received?
00:14
Someone made me a photo album, like scrapbook.
00:17
It was really sweet because they had collected things, not just the pictures, but like tickets
00:24
and poems and they glued some sand in from a certain beach.
00:30
It was very, very sweet.
00:35
Word your friends would use to describe you?
00:37
Loyal.
00:38
Super loyal.
00:39
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, 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 a go-to in our house.
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.
01:04
Last book I read?
01:07
I read Joan Didion's Slavaging Towards Bethlehem.
01:15
I was in Austria this summer.
01:18
Great short stories.
01:20
That was rough.
01:24
How did you make your first dollar?
01:26
Probably cleaning people's bathrooms.
01:29
When I was a little kid, I had this theater group, I guess, that I started in my neighborhood
01:40
and we would go door to door and clean people's houses and we were called the Dirtbusters.
01:46
We sang the Ghostbusters song, you know?
01:49
Ooh, two for one!
01:52
What should every woman try at least once in her life?
01:56
Everything.
01:57
You should try everything at least once in your life.
02:00
Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer.
02:03
I'm a housewives person.
02:09
I hate it so much!
02:13
Do you have any secret talents?
02:18
I can, it's not really a secret, but I can do this.
02:24
Like a witch, like Bewitched.
02:25
Now y'all know, I'm a witch.
02:30
Go to late night snack.
02:33
Wine, delicious wine.
02:42
What makes you feel most powerful and confident?
02:46
Actually when I'm eating healthy food.
02:50
I definitely notice a change in my mood when I'm eating junk food that tastes so good.
02:58
And when I eat healthy for a few days, I feel like I'm a superhero and I just gotta keep
03:06
reminding myself that.
03:08
What advice would you give your younger self?
03:11
People are happier with you when you stop trying to please them.
03:20
The number one thing on your bucket list?
03:23
It would probably be, well, I don't know because there are things I want to do, but it's not
03:29
like the thing I want to do before I die, but like I've always wanted to go to Nepal.
03:36
That would be really special.
03:39
Those are done.
03:41
My most starstruck moment?
03:45
It had to have been when I met Gary Oldman.
03:48
It was 2011 on the red carpet at the Palm Spring.
03:52
Oh, and Oprah.
03:54
Hmm.
03:55
Both I started crying.
03:57
Both my starstruck moments, it was Gary Oldman approached me at the Palm Spring Film Festival
04:03
red carpet after I was just talking about him in an interview saying that I saw him
04:08
at lunch earlier today and I was too shy to go up.
04:11
And then he approached me and said he saw me at lunch earlier in the day and he was
04:13
too shy to come up to me, which was insane.
04:18
And then when I met Oprah, I tried to avoid her now because I really embarrassed myself.
04:23
I like, I think Anne Hathaway introduced me to her at some event and I turned around,
04:30
she's like, have you met Oprah?
04:32
And I looked at her and I again started crying and I think I said as I was crying, you raised
04:38
me, which is probably an uncomfortable thing for a stranger to tell you, but she was very
04:44
gracious and graceful.
04:46
So yeah, that's it.
04:49
That's my pop quiz.
04:50
Thanks for watching.
