00:00I have a little tattoo of an ex for Vix.
00:02This is the best job ever.
00:04Any expectation that you have, you're probably going to be wrong.
00:07Hello, you look absolutely beautiful.
00:09I saw you at Minecraft as well.
00:11You look even more beautiful then.
00:13You're in London.
00:14Are you enjoying it in town at the moment?
00:15I am, yes.
00:16It's really beautiful.
00:18I love London.
00:19I love spending time here.
00:20We filmed Andor here, so it feels like home.
00:24And you look so happy at the moment.
00:26We're so happy for you.
00:27And this is seriously around.
00:28Is this the best job ever?
00:30This is the best job ever.
00:32It really is.
00:33I mean, look who I get to sort of play with.
00:35And I get to say Tony Gilroy's words and just play such a complex character
00:42and be part of something that is so important and powerful, like this show.
00:47And when you were growing up, there weren't many things like heroines, like these women.
00:51We are representing now.
00:53You are doing that.
00:54The young kids everywhere.
00:56How does that feel?
00:58I mean, I feel very lucky.
01:00And I also feel, I don't know, I feel really excited because I know there's a generation
01:04of Latin American actresses that's coming right behind me that is just going to take over.
01:09And that makes me, it just fills my heart.
01:12It's so wonderful.
01:13And what can fans not expect from season two?
01:17Not expect?
01:20Honestly, any expectation that you have, you're probably going to be wrong.
01:24I was wrong.
01:24And I'm in the show and I read all of season one and, you know, when I first got the scripts
01:30for season two, everything that I thought was going to happen, every turn that I thought
01:33my character was going to make, Tony just surprised me and it went a completely different
01:38direction.
01:38I love that.
01:39And were you a fan of Star Wars growing up?
01:41And if so, were you cosplaying in the playground?
01:43Oh, yeah.
01:44Did you have Princess Leia?
01:45Princess Leia buns.
01:46I had the buns.
01:48Do you ever experiment with the buns anymore?
01:50Yes, all the time.
01:51I work out in two buns.
01:52I'm not kidding.
01:53I love it.
01:54I have really wild hair, so I just put two buns in.
01:57I love that.
01:58And May the Fourth is coming up, Star Wars Day.
02:00How do you celebrate now you're part of Andal?
02:02Oh, I haven't thought that far.
02:04This is, I'm so excited to be here today.
02:07This is all I've had in my mind, just was to make it through today and to celebrate today
02:12and to celebrate us going to L.A. and releasing the show.
02:16That's as far as my brain capacity can go.
02:19But it's bittersweet though, because you know it's the end, which must be really difficult.
02:24It was.
02:24Saying goodbye to Bix was one that, you know, really, I have a little tattoo of an ex for
02:29Bix.
02:29It's, I love this character so much and I was, I was a rep when I had to say goodbye.
02:34But now you've got a Bix tattoo, are you going to have to get a tattoo for every character
02:38you ever play?
02:39No.
02:40No, I think I started something and now I'm working with someone.
02:44They're like, are you going to get a tattoo of this?
02:46Why didn't you get a tattoo of Madison and Hitman?
02:49Why didn't you get this?
02:49You know?
02:50And I'm like, I don't know.
02:52And what happens next for 2025?
02:54Have you got any more roles that you're going to be in and what happens?
02:56I have some really exciting, my movie.
02:59Splitsville, not my movie, but our movie, Splitsville, just got accepted a can.
03:04So we found that out.
03:06So I'm celebrating that today as well.
03:09It's Michael Covino, a brilliant, amazing filmmaker.
03:12So I guess I'm going to can.
03:14Maybe in May.
03:15Who knows?
03:16I don't even know when that starts.
03:17And we've just seen your wonderful man, Jason, here.
03:20What's it like being able to talk?
03:21Somewhere around here.
03:22Somewhere, too.
03:23What's it like being able to chat to him about film and he gets it and he understands it?
03:27Yeah, it's really beautiful and special to have a partner that you can kind of bounce ideas off of and be creative.
03:34And I trust his taste and his opinion.
03:37He's such an artist.
03:38So I feel really lucky that I have his brain to pick.
03:41And they say never work with, you know, partners and things.
03:44If you've ever got a role, would you be a bit like, oh, I'm not sure about working together?
03:47I don't know.
03:48I never say never.
03:50We'll see.
03:51Yeah, I hope you.
03:51Thank you so much.
03:52And you've both got the best hair ever.
03:54Oh, thank you.
03:55Amazing couple goals.
03:56Thank you, darling.
03:56Thank you so much.
03:58Bye.
