00:00I heard that the fight training for this was pretty intense.
00:03Was there anything new or challenging that you tried in terms of the action or stunt work?
00:08Oh, yes, yes. I had a lot of learning curves in this.
00:11I learned a lot of stick fighting, hand combat, Muay Thai.
00:16I mean, I really had to expand on different styles of fighting
00:19because every single location we really wanted to sort of engage with the style
00:24and the visual stylistic sense of each city.
00:28So if you pay attention, like each one of them is different.
00:32But then simultaneously, every action scene is really meant to build on John's and my characters.
00:39I mean, all that experience, I guess, in the office really helps.
00:43I also wanted to quickly ask, I know you previously said that your co-star, Natalie Portman,
00:48wants to see you as Evelyn Hugo in the new adaptation.
00:51What do we have to do to make it happen?
00:52I feel like we're going to jinx it.
00:54Listen, I don't know. It's really hard when you, you know, I don't.
00:58I don't know.
00:59Like, I'm so honored that someone envisions you, I think, as an actress for anything.
01:03It's always an honor, and it's always a wonderful gift.
01:07And so, but who knows?
01:09Who knows?
01:10I will see what happens.
01:12And very quickly, this is called the Fountain of Youth.
01:14What's your version of a Fountain of Youth?
01:16What's something that keeps you sleeping a lot?
01:18A lot of sleep.
01:21Having family time keeps me young, too.
01:28I'm out of his way.
01:29What's up?
