00:00Jingle bells have started. Here you are.
00:02Here we are. Jingle bells have started. We're out here. It's feeling Christmassy. Santa's
00:06coming soon. It's so exciting.
00:09Your kids must be very excited that you're in this film as well.
00:12They are so excited. My kids, all my kids are so excited. Yeah, I took them to see the
00:16movie about a month ago and I have three daughters, a lot of ages, from an adult to eight to six.
00:23So I'm a proud girl dad and my little one saw the movie and they just loved it. It's
00:29a reminder of why we make things like this, especially Christmas movies.
00:34Absolutely. It's out today in the UK. Why should UK audiences go and see it?
00:38Oh, I think they're going to have a blast seeing Red One. I think we made a great movie.
00:45It's a lot of fun. It's big action and also, personally for me, I think because I'm so
00:53sappy at times, is the message. And that message is ultimately, it's the speech that
01:00J.K. Simmons gives to me. J.K. is our Santa Claus. He gives this speech to me in the movie.
01:05It always makes me emotional every time I see it, which is, he basically says, in this
01:11world today where there is so much noise and cynicism and finger pointing and blaming and
01:20shaming and things like that, that can be tiresome. It's our job to see the good in
01:26people and to see the inner child in everybody, especially those on the naughty list. And
01:32there's a lot of them on the naughty list. I know because I'm always on the naughty list.
01:38You spoke about J.K. What about the other incredible cast? How was that?
01:42Oh, they were phenomenal. From Lucy Liu to Kiernan to, what's that guy's name? Chris?
01:49Oh, Evans. I love Chris. We became great friends on this. You know, you never know when you
01:56put a movie like this together. You hope that you have chemistry with the actor who you're
02:00paired with throughout the movie. And the chemistry Chris and I had was just phenomenal.
02:05And you see it on screen and I love that out of this movie, all of us became friends.
02:13BFFs forever?
02:14Well, let's hope forever. If they're lucky, it's forever. They better not mess up.
02:18Sum it up in three words for me quickly. The film.
02:21The film? Awesome, fun, Christmas.
