00:00What is your most embarrassing memory from set?
00:02What if I was like, I have several for her?
00:04No, I know!
00:10Well, I met you on The Voices when I was working with Ryan,
00:12but I actually met you at the premiere of Rocket Science.
00:15Yes, I have a picture of us.
00:16I think I have a picture of us, too.
00:18Blake knew someone who was in the cast of this tiny, tiny indie movie, Rocket Science,
00:22and that was like 2006 or something?
00:24Yeah, it was very brief, but I remember thinking like,
00:27that very tall blonde woman is very nice.
00:29We went for a coffee first time in Toronto.
00:31Yeah, in Toronto.
00:32Now you're right.
00:33Yeah, oh yeah, that's right!
00:34I remember it was like cobblestone streets in the little like cafe.
00:38It was a very beautiful day.
00:39I think Paul forced her to go for a coffee with her because again-
00:42I did not want to.
00:43But it was to pretty much ease my nervousness in going into like the first sort of film.
00:51So we had a great time.
00:52We had like an hour, an hour and a half of chatting.
00:54You I met on set.
00:56Your screen test.
00:57I remember at that office.
00:58Oh my god!
00:59Yes!
01:00You had a garment bag and your beautiful suits.
01:01I remember you were so well dressed and you were so tall and dapper.
01:04Sorry, this is your story.
01:05No, it was Silver Lake.
01:06I got excited.
01:07It was the Silver Lake office.
01:08It was like this tiny office and I did not expect you to sort of come in.
01:11They were like, oh Blake's going to come in.
01:12I was like, oh yeah, just to say hi.
01:14And we had to do the screen test.
01:15And to say I was nervous on the first day, I think that made me more nervous.
01:19Yeah.
01:20Had we met before Simple Favor?
01:21No.
01:22I don't think we had, but it was one of those things that felt like we'd been old friends.
01:25Yeah.
01:26I think a lot of people feel that way about Andrew, to be honest.
01:28Really?
01:29I think that's true.
01:30I think that like a lot of people think, oh, we're really like becoming best friends.
01:33Oh, he just kind of has that effect on people.
01:35You make people very comfortable.
01:36Yeah, I agree.
01:37I thought you guys knew each other for a long time based on...
01:39I think we've met in Toronto.
01:41We met in a previous life.
01:42I'm like, Kelly, when did...
01:43Do you remember the first time we met on set?
01:45I think it was during the scene with the boat.
01:48Yeah.
01:49Oh, of course.
01:50I said, I was like, oh, did they have to give you like special lessons to know how to drive
01:57like a boat like this, like a vintage boat?
01:59And you were like, Anna, I've been driving a boat like this my whole life.
02:03I was like, this is so cool.
02:04And in fact, it wasn't real.
02:06It wasn't true.
02:07I just wanted to make you comfortable.
02:08Is that a lie?
02:09Yeah.
02:10No.
02:11It was to make me feel comfortable.
02:12And it really upped your sex appeal.
02:14So...
02:15First time that I met everybody, it was Grindr, Raya, Bumble, Grindr.
02:20That's my face.
02:21I love it here.
02:29I could fill a notebook for you, my friend.
02:31Like why...
02:32Yeah, this looks like a serial killer.
02:34Ah!
02:35Oh my God.
02:36It's so bad.
02:37I've written a compliment for Anna Kendrick.
02:40That sounds threatening.
02:42The compliment is...
02:43Anna take my hand.
02:44I'm gonna get away from me.
02:46You've got an amazing pingy belt.
02:48Oh, thank you.
02:49Wait, pingy?
02:50What do we mean by pingy?
02:51Like it's just, it's bright and it's great.
02:53Is that good?
02:54Yes!
02:55I always feel like I'm shrill, but you like it?
02:56No, yes.
02:57I'm gonna rebrand it from shrill to pingy.
02:58No, it's pingy.
02:59It's beautiful.
03:00I was imagining like belt like this, but saying...
03:02She's probably got some of those too.
03:04I was like...
03:05She's not even worried about...
03:06Let me do my second one, because I was supposed to do two, right?
03:09Mm-hmm.
03:10Anna Kendrick.
03:11You are a very loyal friend.
03:14It's true!
03:15Get away from you!
03:16It's true!
03:17Get away from me!
03:18It's very nice!
03:19I don't like this new phase of our relationship.
03:21Being nice to each other?
03:22Yes!
03:23Bitch.
03:24Great.
03:25Okay.
03:26Henry.
03:27Let me at it.
03:28Come on.
03:29Henry.
03:30Hi.
03:31It just gets creepier as it goes on.
03:34I wrote, you're a very generous scene partner.
03:36I love doing scenes with Henry.
03:38We had a bunch of kind of scenes all together, but really one moment that was just ours.
03:44I think I came to you in the morning and was like, I don't really know quite how to play this scene.
03:49And we decided to kind of actually rekindle a little bit of the flirtation from the first movie.
03:54That's right.
03:55Like I think it was all supposed to be just uncomfortable and I was like, oh, I'm feeling like I'm getting very one note.
04:00And it was so lovely to like play that scene with you and know that like we were really on the same team.
04:06That's a great compliment. Thank you.
04:07Henry is a wonderful listener because I am a talker.
04:10You're just like a really open person.
04:13You're also like very funny and dry, which is why we get along in the first place.
04:16But you're like a wonderful friend and listener.
04:18And just for funsies, I also wrote sexy accent well-dressed.
04:21I mean, those are both true things, but I didn't want to objectify you.
04:24So I was like, oh, he's also a wonderful listener.
04:26He's married.
04:28Oh my God.
04:29Got two kids.
04:30Yeah. He's a married man with a sexy accent.
04:32Dressed as well.
04:33What do you want from me?
04:34I'm only human.
04:35Okay. So you can be like the pastor in the middle.
04:37Yeah. Andrew.
04:38Yes.
04:39So are one of the most affable, friendly, disarming humans who is extremely generous and really easy to get along with.
04:50That's a true statement.
04:52It is true.
04:53That's very nice.
04:54I didn't know if we were taking this seriously.
04:56I've seen these on the internet before and I'm always like, if I was there, I don't think I could get serious.
05:03But this is very, very nice.
05:05Thank you very much, Henry.
05:07Henry.
05:08So I have a compliment for you.
05:09You, you live for the people that you love, fiercely and honestly.
05:14You're one of the most authentic and loving and brave people I know.
05:17You just love people from your heart and it's not, nothing is ever a performance.
05:21Like you just really, you are who you say you are.
05:23Well, thank you so much.
05:24You're always who you say you are and you love people so well.
05:26And the way you love your mama.
05:27Oh my gosh.
05:28My mom is.
05:29You got to teach my little boy that.
05:30But I thank you very much for that.
05:32And like for me, you, you became such a, I mean, like yours, like an incredible, incredible discover for me.
05:39You're part of my family and you know, you know, family for us Italians, it's something extremely deep.
05:46So when you say you're a friend of mine, it's something.
05:50I know you, it's something.
05:52But when an Italian tells you you're a part of a family, that is something completely else.
05:58You are actually the most polite actress I have ever met in my life.
06:03Also, I want to tell you that I've learned so much from you on set.
06:07And I feel like in just one month of set, it was just like making like five years of school of drama.
06:13Because you made me grow up so much.
06:15And I love you like crazy.
06:17Like crazy.
06:18I love you, I swear to God.
06:20I'll give you the money for that later.
06:22Yeah, thank you.
06:23Good work, good work.
06:24It was a thousand.
06:25Three.
06:26You have glitter on your face.
06:27Why do you have glitter on your face?
06:28Yeah, I know.
06:29I was noticing that.
06:30No, I don't know.
06:31Did you go to a strip club?
06:32Yeah, literally.
06:33Like this morning.
06:34But like in the morning time.
06:35It would be pretty baller if you did.
06:36All right, you ready?
06:37Yeah.
06:38All right.
06:39I don't know why I feel like it has an answer.
06:40No, this is not enough.
06:41Animals.
06:42Three, two, one.
06:43Lions.
06:44Oh.
06:45This is the power suggestion.
06:46Yeah.
06:47You said your dad was eaten by a lion and then said no, it was a cat.
06:50So I think that counts.
06:51Complex predators.
06:52I said lion and then I said cats.
06:53It is a cat.
06:54We're going to the judges.
06:55Animals.
06:56Oh, it's animals again.
06:57Animals again.
06:58Oh.
06:59I had lions, you had cats.
07:00And we're getting closer.
07:01And now we're going to say a new bird and it's going to be the right word.
07:03Okay.
07:04Three, two, one.
07:05Tigers.
07:06Yes!
07:07Condiments.
07:08Mine melt.
07:09Mine melt.
07:10Yeah, yeah.
07:11I have to say three, two, one.
07:12Okay.
07:13All right.

07:15Okay.
07:16Three, two, one.
07:17Ketchup.
07:18Mustard.
07:19Oh.
07:20I thought you were British.
07:21I didn't know you have that there.
07:22Do you have that in England?
07:23Brown sauce.
07:24Isn't that a thing?
07:25We definitely have ketchup.
07:26Sorry.
07:27All right.
07:28Okay.
07:29Same one.
07:30Okay.
07:31Okay.
07:32Same one.
07:33Okay.
07:34Okay.
07:35Okay.
07:36We have to do it.
07:37Okay.
07:38But it has to be a different condiment.
07:39Three.
07:40No.
07:41Okay.
07:42No cheat.
07:43No.
07:44No.
07:45We're not cheating.
07:46Three, two, one.
07:47Ketchup.
07:48I like the way you took a breath before saying that.
07:53Ketchup.
07:54I was going to say mustard.
07:55Yeah.
07:56I was going to.
07:57Yeah.
07:58Three, two, don't cheat.
08:00No.
08:01These guys are cheating.
08:02What are you talking about?
08:03Three, two, one, go.
08:05Mustard.
08:06Oh my God.
08:07Yeah, buddy.
08:08Whoa.
08:09This is unbelievable.
08:10I know.
08:11We're pretty smart.
08:16That's the one.
08:17What is your most embarrassing memory from set?
08:20That's interesting.
08:21What if I was like, I have several for her.
08:23No, I know.
08:24That would be embarrassing.
08:25Tell me, help me.
08:26I would, I would answer.
08:27Oh no.
08:28Okay.
08:29Tell me.
08:30When I, I actually told Blake my dad died eaten by a lion.
08:33Oh my gosh.
08:34And she actually believed.
08:35Oh, okay.
08:36Let's hold.
08:37Let's reverse the story for a second.
08:39You know, I lost my father when I was very young.
08:41I was like, oh my God, I'm so sorry.
08:42How did she, how did he die?
08:43And I was like, we were in a zoo.
08:44I was like, we were in a zoo.
08:45No, you told the story.
08:46You said we went to a zoo.
08:47He's the youngest of three older sisters.
08:48I was in a zoo.
08:49And he just fall into the cage of the lions and he died.
08:53And she's laughing as well.
08:54I was like, oh my God, I'm, I'm so sorry.
08:59Like, but I was also like, but are you fucking with me?
09:01And he was like, it's okay.
09:02Everyone laughs.
09:03I understand.
09:04I understand.
09:05And I was like.
09:06Everybody laughs.
09:07And she felt so embarrassed and was like.
09:08You double down.
09:09Oh, because I was embarrassed to fall for it.
09:11But I was also embarrassed to laugh at your father had been mauled by a lion.
09:13In front of your child's eyes.
09:15That joke, but it was so funny.
09:17Yeah.
09:18That's the moment that I was like, I love this man forever.
09:20I'm going to pick a question.
09:21Oh yeah.
09:22Get a good one.
09:24What was the funniest moment you shared on set together?
09:27Mmm.
09:28The funniest moment.
09:29We don't laugh.
09:30It was very serious.
09:31Okay.
09:32So my first day on set, I came straight from the airport to the set.
09:37So I was very jet lagged.
09:38And one of my ears was like not working.
09:41You were all doing your big entrance.
09:44And I couldn't hear my cue.
09:46And I said, me talk?
09:49And you looked at me and you were like, what happened to you?
09:52I couldn't.
09:53I just wasn't really paying attention.
09:55And then I kept getting confused.
09:56I'm like, are we on camera?
09:57I should have been fired.
09:58Is the end of that story.
10:00But I wasn't.
10:01I remembered you being very professional on the first film.
10:03So I wondered if something had gone wrong in the intervening seven years.
10:06It was just a clogged ear.
10:08All right.
10:09Henry.
10:10What surprised you the most about working together?
10:13Mmm.
10:14Mmm.
10:15I mean, sorry Michele, but like this was the older little gang.
10:18I'm so sorry.
10:19But it was.
10:20I'm gonna go.
10:21But it was coming back, you know, working with everybody again on a, you know, six, seven years later.
10:25You always have the trepidations of getting into a new production, meeting new people, working with a new director, getting to know your fellow actors.
10:32But this was so seamless.
10:34And like we had that one big scene in the lobby, which was our first day, which was you couldn't hear.
10:39It's just like putting on like some comfortable trainers and just like going for workouts.
10:43That's British for shoes.
10:44Okay.
10:45Which of the characters in the movie would you be IRL friends with?
10:49Ooh.
10:50Mmm.
10:51There's not many like hyper redeemable characters.
10:56I'm just gonna say Aunt Linda played by the wonderful Allison Janney because even though like all of the characters, she has some pretty serious characterological issues.
11:07Yeah.
11:08I would just be friends with her anyway.
11:09Yeah.
11:10Also the maid at the Kisisama.
11:11I know.
11:12I was about to say the maid.
11:13She needs an award for something.
11:15She's a maid.
11:16Best day player of the year.
11:17So she was like, so I kept like backing up in the scene.
11:20All right.
11:21Yep.
11:22Okay.
11:23What do you think is the best and worst at keeping secrets in the cast?
11:28Hmm.
11:29This guy.
11:30Look at the what?
11:31The worst?
11:32The mouth.
11:33I think, I think Blake.
11:34Is which one?
11:35Yes.
11:36Is both?
11:37She knows a lot of my secrets and she's the best on keeping secrets.
11:42But yesterday night, it was a very bad moment.
11:46Mm-hmm.
11:47So she was actually the worst.
11:49You see, she always makes something like that.
11:51She's like, yeah, Blake.
11:52Yeah.
11:53Oh, yeah.
11:54Oh, really?
11:55And then she called the person who's like, tell her.
11:57Tell her.
11:58Well, because I'm not going to tell what you told me behind your back.
12:00So this way I can tell the secret with your consent.
12:03I love this story with no context.
12:05He was like, I met the most beautiful woman.
12:07I have a huge cross.
12:08She's so beautiful.
12:09She walked up to me and she shook my hand and said, you know me.
12:12And I was like, how?
12:13And he's like, I'm Blake's sister.
12:14And I was like, that would make my sister feel so good.
12:17Yeah.
12:18And I was like, stop, stop, stop.
12:19She's been married for like 25 years.
12:20She's total babe.
12:21And I was like, you have to tell her this.
12:22He's like, I swear to God.
12:23I swear to God.
12:24You can't do this to me.
12:25You can't do this to me.
12:26It's a secret.
12:28I was like, no, it doesn't matter.
12:30She called the mom, the sister, the other sister.
12:33And she came and she's like, tell her.
12:35Please tell her.
12:36It'll make her feel so good.
12:37It'll make her feel so good.
12:38It'll make her feel so good.
12:44That was so fun.
12:46It really was fun.
12:47I can't remember the last time I had that much fun.
12:52I feel like I learned a lot, Blake.
12:54Yeah.
12:55Honestly, it feels like these are sort of what we do on set.
12:58Top of the morning, like 30 minutes.
12:59Yeah.
13:00Yeah.
13:01Yeah.
13:02Yeah.
13:03Uh huh.
13:04Is that a theater thing?
13:05Theater games.
13:06Thanks for watching.
13:07Thanks for testing, you know, our friendship.
13:09You know, so we're about to, you know, go watch the film.
13:13And this is the American accent.
13:15Your American accent is just you saying, you know.
13:18Can I do it in Italian, please?
13:19Oh my God.
13:20Okay.
13:21Say it in Italian.
13:22In Italian.
13:23Give it to Italian.
13:24In Italian?
