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

00:04It's actually...

00:05Hi, I'm Jessica Chastain and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.

00:12What is the best gift you've received?

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

00:17It was really sweet because they had collected things, not just the pictures, but like tickets

00:24and poems and they glued some sand in from a certain beach.

00:30It was very, very sweet.

00:35Word your friends would use to describe you?

00:37Loyal.

00:38Super loyal.

00:39Oh my god, why does it do that?

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

00:46I'm around kids a lot, so I tend to get a lot of kids songs stuck in my head.

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

00:52That's like a...

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

00:56Word that makes you cringe?

00:57Cringe, actually.

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

01:00I think it's really cringey.

01:04Last book I read?

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

01:15I was in Austria this summer.

01:18Great short stories.

01:20That was rough.

01:24How did you make your first dollar?

01:26Probably cleaning people's bathrooms.

01:29When I was a little kid, I had this theater group, I guess, that I started in my neighborhood

01:40and we would go door to door and clean people's houses and we were called the Dirtbusters.

01:46We sang the Ghostbusters song, you know?

01:49Ooh, two for one!

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

01:56Everything.

01:57You should try everything at least once in your life.

02:00Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer.

02:03I'm a housewives person.

02:09I hate it so much!

02:13Do you have any secret talents?

02:18I can, it's not really a secret, but I can do this.

02:24Like a witch, like Bewitched.

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

02:30Go to late night snack.

02:33Wine, delicious wine.

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

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

02:50I definitely notice a change in my mood when I'm eating junk food that tastes so good.

02:58And when I eat healthy for a few days, I feel like I'm a superhero and I just gotta keep

03:06reminding myself that.

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

03:11People are happier with you when you stop trying to please them.

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

03:23It would probably be, well, I don't know because there are things I want to do, but it's not

03:29like the thing I want to do before I die, but like I've always wanted to go to Nepal.

03:36That would be really special.

03:39Those are done.

03:41My most starstruck moment?

03:45It had to have been when I met Gary Oldman.

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

03:52Oh, and Oprah.

03:54Hmm.

03:55Both I started crying.

03:57Both my starstruck moments, it was Gary Oldman approached me at the Palm Spring Film Festival

04:03red carpet after I was just talking about him in an interview saying that I saw him

04:08at lunch earlier today and I was too shy to go up.

04:11And then he approached me and said he saw me at lunch earlier in the day and he was

04:13too shy to come up to me, which was insane.

04:18And then when I met Oprah, I tried to avoid her now because I really embarrassed myself.

04:23I like, I think Anne Hathaway introduced me to her at some event and I turned around,

04:30she's like, have you met Oprah?

04:32And I looked at her and I again started crying and I think I said as I was crying, you raised

04:38me, which is probably an uncomfortable thing for a stranger to tell you, but she was very

04:44gracious and graceful.

04:46So yeah, that's it.

04:49That's my pop quiz.

04:50Thanks for watching.
