00:00Hello, I am Caitlyn. I'm with you.
00:02Hey! How you doing?
00:04I'm wonderful. How are you?
00:06So well, thank you.
00:08Amazing. I'm surrounded by so much royalty.
00:10I love it. I love you.
00:12I have to say,
00:14Annie, I love you in rom-coms
00:16and I just want to know if we're going to see
00:18more of those in the future.
00:20Thank you. I hope so. Do you have any ideas?
00:22I mean, obviously,
00:24like, Princess Diaries sequels, but...
00:26I'm trying.
00:28They're always trying to get that done.
00:30I know. I always hear about it.
00:32I mean, if I have any other ideas, I'll send them your way.
00:34Well, like, I don't know.
00:36Send whatever we call tweets now.
00:38Like, send one to Disney.
00:40Yeah, what are they?
00:42Exes? I don't know anymore.
00:44Send an ex to Disney? This doesn't make sense.
00:46We have fallen so far through the rabbit hole,
00:48you guys.
00:50But, you know, there's positives.
00:52Yeah.
00:54Thank you. Thank you. I hope so.
00:56I love making... I really, really, really love making them.
00:58And I'm so lucky that my first
01:00film, really,
01:02was with, like, a master
01:04of the genre, Gary Marshall.
01:06And I've gotten to work with David Frankel
01:08and I've gotten to work with Nancy Meyers.
01:10And so I just feel like I've gotten to...
01:12And now Michael Showalter.
01:14So I feel like I've gotten to work with so many of the best
01:16in the space, so it'd be wonderful to keep going.
01:18Yes, absolutely.
01:20And going over to you, Nicholas,
01:22I have to ask, did you get a say
01:24in what tattoos Hayes had?
01:26Because, you know, they're just those random...
01:28Yeah, well, it's...
01:30I did, actually.
01:32We went through Pinterest quite a lot and then it was funny
01:34because some things could get cleared, some things
01:36couldn't get cleared.
01:38But some things were, you know,
01:40purely aesthetic and some things
01:42kind of were my own sort of little
01:44Easter eggs for the character as well.
01:46Okay. Did you have a favorite?
01:48Did you have a least favorite?
01:50Oh, yeah. That's probably better.
01:52Because I did.
01:54Oh, which one?
01:56The hand ones
01:58are really annoying because they would always come off.
02:00I know.
02:02It was a stupid thing to do that.
02:04After Nick played a pop star, I played a pop star.
02:06The tattoo thing is so like...
02:08I got a thistle
02:10tattooed on my...
02:12not tattooed,
02:14in the film, on my calf.
02:16Oh, I remember that. I liked that one.
02:18And that was a...
02:20Was that about rugby?
02:22No, it was a Scottish reference because I kind of...
02:24I was kind of trying to create
02:26my own sort of Hayes backstory
02:28and teach and everything.
02:30So that was grand, yeah.
02:32I love that. And I don't have much time, but I wanted to ask.
02:34We read a little bit about your first chemistry read,
02:36but what was it kind of like as your first bonding
02:38moment, just Annie and Nicholas?
02:40Oh, Nick
02:42texted me and he was like...
02:44He just texted me a bunch of
02:46questions like,
02:48hey, do you want to do any get-to-know-you
02:50questions? And I was just like,
02:52yes, very much so. It's a great idea.
02:54So he texts me questions like,
02:56what's your last meal?
02:58Desert Island playlist.
03:00You know, just kind of
03:02like, I don't know, those questions.
03:04And we just kind of started sending
03:06answers back and forth and then, I don't know.
03:08It's just everything kind of...
03:10I want to go back and look at those first texts.
03:12And then eventually there was like, the texts were
03:14too intense, so we started leaving each other's voice
03:16memos.
03:18So those...
03:20God help us.
03:22But
03:24that was one of the first
03:26times Nick mentioned that he was Greek. I've heard
03:28it once or twice. Oh, right. Yes.
03:30Because his last meal is
03:32very Greek. I'm very proud.
03:34It's great. It's amazing.
03:36You're very proud.
03:38I'm glad it made it into this interview, honestly,
03:40because I was worried it wouldn't.
03:42So now we're safe. We're done.
03:44I'm trying to avoid it now.
03:46I've been told by people.
03:48I will not let you. I will not let you.
03:50No, I have one job.
03:52I have one job, one assignment.
03:54It's to get Nick to talk about
03:56being Greek in every single interview.
03:58I'm not mad at it.
04:00The way you do it every day on set.
04:04Well, thank you both so much. That's all the time I have.
04:06Congratulations. Thank you so much.
