00:00How did your involvement in this movie come about?
00:03True story. I was getting hair extensions to play a stripper.

00:14And I spotted her and I was like, oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
00:18And my friend who was doing the extensions, I was like, can we pretend I have to wash my hair?
00:22So I went into the, like, you know you put your head in a sink?
00:25And then I went, oh my god, hi!
00:27And then we were there, hair extensions take, you know, a full day.
00:33A full day and a half.
