We're looking for the Fountain of Youth.
00:02
Oh, please, no.
00:03
What did I just say about the cat in the bag?
00:05
If the Fountain of Youth did exist, would you drink from it?
00:09
And what age would you want to freeze yourself at?
00:11
What age would you want to freeze yourself at?
00:13
I don't know. I think more about the...
00:16
I don't think you want it, right?
00:19
Because then you're going to freeze and everyone around you is going to get older.
00:22
If you can give it to everyone you know and hang out for a while,
00:25
or if you go back and give it to your grandparents
00:27
so they can hang out a little bit longer, that would be nice.
00:29
You've got to be nice, but I think yourself is not the best.
00:31
I agree. I would do it for my loved ones.
00:34
I'd love to like hold on to people that I love.
00:37
Sometimes, you know, I think that's the biggest question mark in life
00:41
and the hardest thing for all of us individuals,
00:43
just accepting that life keeps moving forward and we've got to grow up.
00:47
Life is worth living in my personal experience, so I don't think I would.
00:52
But I give it to my mom because I love her.
00:54
The ultimate gift.
00:55
Yeah.
00:56
That would be...
00:57
It's about to be her birthday, so I might just try to find the
00:59
Fountain of Youth and give it to her.
01:00
Kind of a killer...
01:01
She would be very happy, honestly.
01:03
That's a good one.
01:04
She'd be like, thanks, babe.
01:05
You've really raised the bar there.
01:07
Yeah.
01:08
Best gift mother ever.
01:10
I thought we said a 50-year-old limit.
01:12
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:13
You don't want what you're looking for.
01:16
Okay.
01:17
This is such a fun adventure, heist-type film.
01:20
But at its core, it interrogates our fear of aging and the quest for eternal youth and beauty.
01:27
Do you think Hollywood's obsession with youth is actually shifting?
01:31
And why are we so hooked on this idea of youth and beauty?
01:35
I think it is.
01:36
I think that...
01:37
I don't think it's Hollywood.
01:38
I think it's just a life thing.
01:39
This industry sort of frames things in time because you're in front of a camera and it stays forever.
01:45
Just makes it a little harder to sort of maybe let go of it.
01:49
But I think it's just a constant conversation around life.
01:51
And I don't think it's necessarily beauty.
01:53
I think it's just the fear of losing what we love, our life, our experiences, our memories.
01:59
It's a movie that will help us appreciate every single moment that we're experiencing.
02:03
And that's why I think I was very excited.
02:05
And I think we were all very excited to be part of.
02:07
I mean, yeah, so I'm a real character at one point.
02:09
It says, like, this is the most valuable commodity in the world.
02:12
Is that how you've seen it play out in your careers?
02:17
I think it's interesting what you say is that, like, when you make a movie, it exists forever.
02:22
Forever.
02:23
But I think, yeah, the fact that it exists forever is an interesting aspect to what we do.
02:27
So I think that's a nice thing, that if you create something beautiful, it will last.
02:30
So I think of it in a positive way in that, you know, in those terms, but not particularly in a negative way.
02:36
I'm not really hung up on that stuff.
02:37
I think if you're looking for it in a selfless way, it's fine.
