00:00So what was it like working with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan on this movie?

00:04It was insane. It was incredible.

00:07And they are such wonderful human beings and so professional and freaking bosses, each of them.

00:14As a young actress, did Lindsay give you any advice?

00:17Or what's something you feel like you learned from her working on this movie?

00:20I mean, we were talking the other day and she said it took her a long time to learn how to say no.

00:24And when she told that to me and Julia, I think it was very moving.

00:30Because no is a full sentence.

00:33That's totally true.

00:35So how do you feel like this movie builds on what we saw in the first film?

00:38Oh my gosh. I mean, so many people from the first one are back.

00:42And it truly is just like an extension of the story.

00:45And I'm so honored to be able to be a little addition.

00:49So you play a British girl. How did you nail this accent?

00:54Well, Manny and I worked with our lovely dialect coach. Hi.

00:57I'm talking about Victoria.

00:58Yeah, no, he's the best. I'm talking about Victoria.

01:02Victoria is incredible. Victoria Hanley.

01:03Yes, our dialect coach.

01:05Do you remember being on set and having to put a cork in our mouth?

01:08Put a cork in our mouth, yeah.

01:09Because everything is super rounded.

01:11So we kind of looked insane for a little bit trying to be British.

01:15Do what you got to do. You nailed it.

01:17You nailed it. Thank you.

01:18Thank you so much.

01:19She's incredible.

01:20Yeah. I'll let you guys go.

01:21Thanks.

01:22Oh, go this way. Thanks, thanks.

01:24So he plays your dad in the movie.

01:26How did you build this father-daughter relationship, you know, off camera to then have it be on screen?

01:31I mean, it's easy with Manny.

01:33He's so great and wonderful.

01:35And also, I mean, we did do a few bonding exercises with me, Julia, Lindsay, and Manny.

01:42I mean, there was one point where we had to look into each other's eyes for two minutes straight, which feels like eternity.

01:49But also, I think, literally bonded us.

01:51But he's a wonderful human being.

01:54And what sort of things did you and Julia do off set for fun when you weren't filming?

01:58Oh, my gosh.

01:58Well, first of all, Julia and I hang out literally every single day.

02:01So we'll do anything.

02:02We take naps together.

02:04We watch shows.

02:05We watch movies.

02:06We go out.

02:07Like, literally anything.

02:08I will call her and be like, hey, I need to go to CBS.

02:10Will you come with me?

02:11She's like, yeah, girl, I'll come.

02:13So, anything.

02:15I love that so much.

02:16And you met on this movie?

02:17We did meet on this movie.

02:18We met during the chemistry read.

02:20And it was, like, instantly connected.

02:22But I've been a fan of her for so long because Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.

02:25I've had a poster of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood in my childhood bedroom for years.

02:30And she's on the poster.

02:32And so when I heard that she was doing this, I was like, I feel like it's a sign or a poster.

02:37I feel like you manifested it in a way.

02:39A little bit.

02:39I think I did.

02:40I could get the M.S.

02:41I thought it was terribly myself.

02:43I was like, no, no, it was.

02:43I don't like that.

02:43I wasn't my mom.

02:44I was like, no, no, no.

02:45It was so nice, car.

02:46That's what they wanted.

03:04I was Exectying and I was такой.

03:06I feel like I just need it.

03:07I was like, man.

03:08I would watch TV.

03:09I'm going for this movie.
