00:00Okay, how far down the road are you quite? Ah, you know what? Have a great time
00:11Thank you, I appreciate you, okay
00:13Could you please explain to us what a chaos monkey is and when the last time you guys let your case?
00:17Okay, this is important because chaos monkey is a phenomenon
00:21It happens when a group of siblings whether they like each other or not are
00:26insulted as a family unit
00:28and
00:30Then actually leads to unification. Yes, right. They unify form a group
00:38Which scream scream and
00:41Then attack. Yeah, and that's the chaos. That's the act of the chaos monkey
00:49My brother and I did it around Thanksgiving it was intense I
00:54Watch this film at the perfect time for myself. I'm currently me and my partner. I'm planning our wedding
00:58So what is the best advice you could give us in terms of planning a wedding not, you know to double book the venue
01:04But so what's the best wedding planning advice you give us?
01:08Hmm I don't want to say it's a waste of money
01:14But
01:18Possibly we're investing in the relationship. Okay. How far down the road are you quite? Ah, you know what? Have a great time
01:29Thank you
01:48Picking a role that I love the most is really hard. I think about experiences
01:53This was one of the most fun experiences I've had on a movie. We just had a best
01:59easy it was and
02:01a lot of I mean, it doesn't assert an easy film doesn't necessarily equate to
02:08the best film but
02:10Because sometimes they're hard and they turn out great
02:12But this was both and and that's so special when it when it works out like that
02:17My last question is with so many classic lines
02:20That you've had through the years, which is your favorite and what is the most often quoted to you? Oh
02:29I mean hands-down
02:32People say to me maybe every day legally blonde what like it's hard. What like it's hard
02:38Every day of my life like it's hard. Yeah, and then a lot of people say like when I'm in a bar they say you have
02:52It's Meredith's favorite line, it's my favorite movie by the way
02:59What about you
03:01It's not a line
03:02It's not a line from any movie. I've done but the most thing that's yelled at me is hey get off my property
03:09You don't you don't belong here it's not cowbells. No, it's yeah
03:14Get off my lawn. You know, this is private property. Get out of here. I have a gun
03:18That's what's yelled at me the Wow
03:28I
03:41What was what for you was the most appealing thing about this script and
03:46This group of people because your cast is fantastic
03:50Well, I think I think we both
03:52Sparked to the idea that it was it felt like a very unique premise, even though it's it's familiar territory
03:58You know, there's been a lot of movies about weddings
04:00But this the idea of two weddings booked on the same date at a at a very specific
04:08Destination that means so much to both characters was really unique and then the chance, you know to get to work with Reese is
04:16Is incredible the scene where we both show up at the same hotel the same day and we figure out we're being so polite
04:24We felt like a classic 1930s movie
04:28And I went home that day and I thought
04:31That was one of the best scenes I've ever done in my whole life
04:34Like it was just fine because getting to work opposite him. It's just a dream come true
04:38comedy legend little girl and
04:40One of the other things is you know, I came to this thinking it was gonna be a straightforward comedy
04:44Yeah, the emotional beats in this is strong as well
04:47It really comes across well on screen at what point did you realize that you'd kind of stepped up into that making magic territory?
04:55Well, not only in addition to being funny Reese's a very good actor
05:00And when I saw her in action, I thought oh, I better keep up my end of the bargain
05:06Or I'm gonna be left in the dust
05:09So I hired an acting coach
05:15In Atlanta, yeah
05:18J Salisbury, no way. Yes DJ Salisbury. No, I knew him
05:24Oh my god, that was half my salary
