Lily-Rose Depp & Nicholas Hoult | Ask Me Anything

Transcript

00:00Hi, I'm Lily Rosedep. I'm Nicholas Holt. And today we're gonna let Elle ask us anything.

00:07Okay, here we go.

00:09What is the strangest thing you've done to prepare for a role?

00:13I did a movie where I played like a girl who thinks that she's a cat, so I trained for months to

00:20you know, act like a cat. And it was honestly a really fulfilling prep experience.

00:25Did you drink milk out of a saucer? I actually did. You did?

00:28Well, because it was over, we were supposed to shoot and then it was like COVID happened and everything.

00:32So you lived as a cat.

00:33So I was alone in my mom's house and everything and I would have my, I would like ask my mom to like put out

00:39bowls of like water for me on the ground and I would like kind of

00:42crawl around for parts of the day and do that. Because I was just like, well, we have nothing to do so I might as well just

00:47prep intensely.

00:49That was fun.

00:50Who is your favorite vampire of all time?

00:54Of all time? Yeah. I don't know a favorite of all time. Bela Lugosi is obviously great. Are we talking on film?

01:00Favorite vampire? I mean, or not. I guess I don't really know where. You know, I've really been enjoying Hotel Transylvania, Adam Sandler.

01:06Okay, that's a fun one. Recently. It's been fun. I like that. There's too many. Christopher Lee was great.

01:12Bela Lugosi was great. Well, you only had one. I'm just gonna name a few. Thank you.

01:18How would you describe your Nosferatu audition?

01:21It was clear that this was a character who

01:24was going to go through a lot physically and emotionally, so I think my main objective was just to show Rob

01:30that I'm willing to go there physically and emotionally. Did you throw stuff? I threw stuff, yeah. What did you throw?

01:36I threw some books. I threw a roll of paper towels. You had to clean up afterwards.

01:41I had to clean up and also like I kind of threw myself to the ground after and I started like convulsing on the ground.

01:46So I was like, I couldn't throw anything that was glass. And then you heard Rob, sorry, you froze for a minute.

01:50He was very excited. I saw Rob after Lily's audition and he was like so enthusiastic and happy to have found you.

01:57Oh, that's nice. That's good stuff. Thanks.

02:00Nick, how did it feel to reunite with Hugh Grant on screen 21 years after A Bad Boy?

02:05It felt great to reunite with Hugh. He's very funny and he's got a dry wit and sense of humor that's a joy to be around.

02:12And also he was like a big part of my childhood and an influential moment in my life.

02:17So to get to reconnect with him as an adult and like get to hang out and then chew the fat.

02:23Isn't that an expression for like chatting? Chew the fat? I've never heard that in my life, but that's cool.

02:27As I said it, I was like, maybe I'm making this up. It's not real, but I said it anyway, but it was nice to chat with him.

02:35That's great. That's very sweet. Thanks.

02:39What is the fashion trend you regret participating in? I had like a crazy bang phase.

02:46No, you didn't. Really? Yeah. No way. Well, I want to hear. I had like long fringe.

02:50Like, but like kind of Justin Bieber-y. It wasn't completely over the eye. I don't think it was as cute as Justin Bieber.

02:55Well, mine was like so not cute. It's not even funny. Like mine was like, I had my older cousin

03:01had these kind of like

03:032012 kind of like emo bangs. I started pulling more and more hair from the other side.

03:09And then it got to a place where my parting was literally behind my ear.

03:14And I had like a swooping over. Like I literally had like a kind of helmet around my head.

03:20It was crazy.

03:20And even my parents would kind of say like, are you sure about this like hair?

03:24And I would be like, I would literally be like, I was like, you're just jealous because you haven't trained your hair to like

03:30be this way. Because it was a lot. I used to like sleep with like a clip in it.

03:33I would kind of like stand like this too. It was a lot of work. So that. Your fringe was more impressive than mine.

03:40Well done.

03:41What's one prop or wardrobe piece you've taken from a set?

03:45I have Count Orlok's

03:47prosthetic penis

03:48framed at home. There's a scene where Bill Skarsgård is slurping my blood and

03:54Robert Eggers asked afterwards, how was that for you? The director asked. And I said I could feel his prosthetic penis.

04:00Oh God. On my leg. And then as a wrap gift,

04:04Rob got it framed and he sent it to my house, but the frame had broken when it got here.

04:10So I had to take it to the local frame shop. I had to be like, hey, dude.

04:14Can you fix this?

04:15And he kind of didn't even blink the first time and then when I went back to pick it up,

04:20I think he'd caught like how weird it was that I was framing potentially.

04:23He's like, this is the prosthetic.

04:26And he was like, is this some kind of collector's piece? You're like, yes, it is.

04:30I was like, I could say that.

04:32If you could cameo on any TV show, what would it be? I want to go on Barefeckin' Tessa.

04:38Ina Garten. Do you know who Ina Garten is? I mean, she's a legend of American culture. She's like a

04:46classic host of a cooking show. She's fabulous. She's like my comfort person. I love her so much.

04:52She has people over. She does have guests. Oh, this is good.

04:55And I'm just, I mean, I am such a big fan of hers. That's like a show

05:00I'm dying to go on. You know what? We've been watching Sex and the City, the original Sex and the City at the moment.

05:05So good. I'm not sure if I'd really like to cameo. Yeah, I'd like to cameo on it.

05:08Yeah, you could be Aiden or something. I don't know who Aiden is. Have you been watching the show?

05:14Well, yeah, but I don't know which one's Aiden. Aiden is like her boyfriend, like not big, the other one. At the moment,

05:19it's the

05:21politician guy. Okay, okay. I'd be a new, a new boyfriend.

05:25I would love, of course, I would love, I would love to be on Sex and the City as well.

05:29Who is the most active in the Superman group chat?

05:33You.

05:34It's not me. I'm not, I'm not ever very active in group chats because I get a little bit nervous.

05:39Nathan is very, is very good in the group chat because he has lots of

05:43gifs of himself that he responds with. And also, it's a lovely group chat to be in because they, they,

05:50everyone will sing happy birthday to each other. They'll take it line by line and people will record voice notes. That's really sweet.

05:56That's very sweet.

05:57What's the best advice you've gotten from another actor?

06:01Natalie Portman recently, she interviewed me for, for interview. She was talking about how, as

06:06actors, we have to have such a

06:09thin skin for what we do emotionally and yet such a thick skin for what we do physically at times. Hearing things like that from

06:15like actors that I admire, it just creates like a greater understanding of what it is that we really do. And so that was

06:21insight from that. I like that. Yeah. Who is your favorite British musician?

06:26Ooh, I, I love the Arctic Monkeys growing up. That was the band that was kind of big.

06:31And actually, we did like a tribute band for them for a little while, me and some mates at school.

06:37No way, when you were like in high school? Yeah, and I would sing.

06:40And I'd like put on like a slightly fake Sheffield accent. Can you sing? Do you, have you done like a role where you sing?

06:45No, no, it was very inappropriate. I was singing.

06:48How'd you get the gig to be like the singer of the band? No, they were just desperate. No one else would do it. That's nice.

06:53Yeah.

06:55Teach me your favorite French saying. There's so many.

07:04I mean, even just doing that, I'm like, I feel like French people. Was that it? That was it. Did you catch that?

07:09I feel like French people express themselves with like facial expressions and like mouth movements a lot.

07:15Like I feel like oftentimes, like when you're speaking in French, like somebody will be like, oh, like how'd it go or something and you're like,

07:21like, and they're like, yeah.

07:23This is what you're teaching me?

07:26You can't send me to France with that.

07:28Ramène ta fraise is one that I've always liked, which means like, it's more like you say it more like to your kids.

07:34Like my mom would say that to me when I was a kid. It's like, ramène ta fraise.

07:37It kind of means like, get your little butt over here kind of thing.

07:41But it literally translates to bring here your strawberry.

07:47That's good, that's good.

07:49Say it one more time.

07:51Ramène ta fraise. Ramène ta fraise.

07:53Yeah, and it's like, you can say it to your kids.

07:55I'm going to say it to everyone.

07:57Yeah, say it to them all. It's going to be a problem.

07:59It's kind of like, yeah, it's more for like, it's more of like an endearing, kind of like child-like thing.

08:04But yeah, yeah, it's cute. It's a cute one.

08:06That's good. Yeah. Thanks.

08:08You're so welcome. We're done.

08:10Thank you so much for watching.

08:12And be sure to check out Nosferatu in theaters on Christmas Day.

08:16See you next time.
