Welcome back Oscar winner and half the way has been delighting audiences ever since her breakout success in the princess diaries and more than 20 years, she is a force in Hollywood, her latest project. We crashed it's a new limited series on Apple TV plus it's inspired by actual events. It tells the story of the rise and seismic fall of the we work start up and the love story at the center of it all take a look. It's like it's just the whole you know you walk in and you just feel first thing I thought when I walked in hope or not that's what it means it's just. Feel free to look around at me. I'll meet you in the car. I love you're not wearing a shirt. And a half the way and good morning. This is how wonderful to say I'm just so delighted that you're sitting here, you're a person we're together together. We went real deep just started. You know what the pandemic though has taught a lot of lessons to all of us. Yeah, you had a new baby during the pandemic that was one of the beautiful moments, but what what did it teach you what did you learn about yourself. Well that's what we're talking about during the during the break was I was saying that you know how it's so significant to be back here with people and I have to say that in moments like this. I really still at my nerves get the best of me. I'm still a human being some yes, they creep up, but I just during the pandemic when you can't give your life away anymore. You can't give your life away to that you got to find a way for you got to be okay with whoever you are in that moment, you don't want to miss anymore. Yeah, we've learned that and I hope so and we're going to keep learning it, you know, it's not I like your your vulnerability, I feel like you say what you feel and I I was watching interview you did yesterday and you one of the comments you said it was you are having fun with the story, but you said I'm not the most confident person now and that struck me because I think people would look at you and say wow she's won an Oscar Scott great families got you know all those things but confidence doesn't necessarily that does not equate often no no no that doesn't necessarily show up in the DNA. Yeah, and it's something I think you have to I think it's something you have to learn something you have to just figure out how to be at peace with yourself because like I said it's your life. Yeah, and you get yeah, you've got to live on your terms by the way do you love being a mom of 2. Come on. What is it my 2 year-old right now he says the issues. You have you like what has your family. How is it affected the way your professional life works, I know my change completely oh my I'm sure you understand this is just logistics logistics logistics how how are we doing what are we doing where is it who needs what and yeah, we have a sandwich. Yeah, and yeah, but it's I mean for me, it's just just going back to what I was talking about also it just there's so much joy. I feel like they get bring an innate purpose to everything yes, and I mean I have I could go on about it. But it also leaves me a little speechless just a little bit and I feel and I just want to say I'm just really lucky, it's something I've always wanted and I'm just so lucky that it happened to me. Let's talk about your your project which is fast and you work with Jared Leto who yeah by the way you said did not when when you met him on the set and you shot for 6 months, the guy never broke character during the entire period once I've never seen anything like it we so like what about when did you ever have a meal with him and was he still that person. No no he, you know I just I was fascinated by his process, I'm I'm I'm a really and I have one that's really receptive and I just and I think that especially in a story like the one we're telling we're playing 2 people wildly in love, yeah, we had to build a certain connection and culture between us and so that's what worked for him and it worked for me and whenever we need to discuss practical things like you know how a scene was going to work. I wouldn't call him Jared, I would call him a tech. I call me and you can be ripped and so you had those pet names for each other that were characters names and we just just opened to each other it was and then in between takes and it wasn't a lot of chit chat but that we were always connected and it was it was such a beautiful experience, I have to say I was really inspired working with them and what do you people take from this because this is a fascinating story. I only knew like the very small layer of it. Well the thing that we were hoping to do with the series was to show that these are human beings and I want to make that very clear is that there's no judgment of these people and especially no judgment from me towards Rebecca I recognize I'm a human being and she is a human being and for me what a human being is it's we're a mixture of at mobile traits and we're make and we're also we've got to work on ourselves and there's things that we're always working on and so you know, there's been a documentary that we have books is that we know the story. Yes, so this was an opportunity to look at how people and everything I heard about Rebecca was that she authentically meant everything that she said how what happens when someone. I don't know isn't quite able to practice what they preach and that's yeah, that's well put this is fascinating. I think people are going to love it. You are fantastic in it. Jared is too. And thank you so much for being with us. We want everyone to know we craft premieres this Friday on Apple TV plus.
