Amy Adams Is Really Good At Crying On Cue - The Graham Norton Show

Amy, we've heard the rumor. Enchanted 2, is that really happening? Yeah, they're starting to develop Enchanted 2. It's called Disenchanted, and that's for real. And yeah, they've got a director attached and they're writing a script. And you're in it, right? I'm hoping. It doesn't open at your funeral or something? No, I hope not. Not unless, you know... I don't know. I'm not going to let anybody else play Giselle. No! No! And will your daughter be geeked that you're going back to Giselle? No. No, she won't. Yeah, she doesn't care. Yeah, she's so cool. I'm mama to her. Like, she doesn't think of me as an actress at all. Like, she makes fun of me for it. Like, when I FaceTime her, she's like, Oh my God, it's Amy Adams time! I'm like... By the way, she's got such a cool attitude. She's like, sometimes you know your mommy, you're like, oh, that's just a chick that cleans my room and cooks me food. She's awesome. She's pretty level-headed. Because after the Avengers movies, presumably you've got a lot of children that come up to Jeremy wanting pictures and things. Yeah, that's the best part of it all. Yeah, for sure. You know, before the Avengers, the kids would run away from me. But now that I play a superhero, then they come around and it's the most amazing thing. But why did you frighten children? It just... You were thinking... You were thinking, why are the children running away? Other than it's really fun? It's his resting face. It's a resting face I was born with. And, you know, I built a career around it, so it's awesome. So right now, you look kind of twinkly. Well, because I'm smiling. Yeah, but I'm just thinking about, like, hey, that is a really amazing-looking suit. Oh, my God, that's a beautiful suit. But if I'm just thinking about it, it looks like I might want to choke you. Yes, yes, I see it. But it is scary. Because what's the thing about your daughter wanting to make you cry? Oh, we were talking about what I do for a living, and I was explaining how I try to make myself... I just make-believe, like she does when she plays. And she's like, can you make yourself laugh? And I said, yeah. She goes, can you make yourself cry? And I said, yeah. And she goes, do it. Honestly, you've got to give me a story. So we made up a story. And I've done it before for people about sriracha. I don't want to go back into this grammar. No, no. No, okay. Because the sriracha plant is... They're shutting it down because the fumes kind of go into the community. And, yeah. But I've done this. This is redundant now. Oh, my God! It's really weird. That's awesome. Everyone's completely weirded out. They're like, I don't trust her at all. Because you've got me here to do something like that. That's amazing. It's almost kind of creepy. It is, right? It's amazing. You should be an actress. I know. You're really good. Why don't you... Chris O'Dowd, you can make yourself cry as well. Yeah, do it. Cry. Cue. Now. Go. There's this sriracha plant. I guess, I don't know if I can make myself cry. I do that thing where... Definitely, if you're in the midst of a scene, you can start... You know, if you're really in it, it's kind of fine. But then when you get to, as you guys know, on to take kind of 15 or 16, then you've got to start playing some tricks to make your subconscious cry or something. And you start thinking of sad things or... For me, it's like Battersea Dogs Home commercials. Or, for some reason, I don't know why, cos I'm a pacifist, I keep watching these videos on YouTube of, like, soldiers coming back from war and seeing their animals. Yes. Have you seen them? Yes. It's a killer. So, when I've... Like, sometimes when you're watching me on screen, that's what I'm thinking.
