The Madison Cast on the Show as a Study of Grief and Working Together The Drew Barrymore Show

Okay, I don't that's what they told me That Michelle and I clearly called each other and coordinated our outfit By the way, I feel like I'm in the family by the way You are I I you guys I watched this and first of all, I don't want to bury the lead I hope you heard I love it so much And I mean Did you know going into this show that it would be so soulful and so meaningful and so deep But without being heavy Without it has such an uplifting sort of a setting free as the way I felt about it I look at it as an awakening. Yes. Yeah, certainly for my character and I think for the whole family But no going into it. I I knew that it was Taylor described it as a study on grief So I knew it was gonna get sad I didn't know how deep we were gonna go, but we went pretty deep So, you know, it was really an incredible bonding experience and working with The most extraordinary cast movie I've ever worked with I had to hearken back to are you kidding me if I have seen this movie more times I don't think I could I wore the VHS tape Tequila Sunrise But I watched that so many times I mean you in that jacuzzi it lives rent-free in my mind Like what jumps out when I'm like Tequila Sunrise one of the best memories was Kurt you Heard is just pure joy every day all day and it was exactly that It's like why does he keep coming into my life? I'm here for it And you are really like I I love how much kind of guff that you get as the male figure about numbers But you're also you get guff you take it like a champ There's a really good sweetness and humor that you carry His character is the one that that goes through the most art and we always Everybody keeps turning to you. Yeah, I love that He is there to help this family despite the fact that he is so uncomfortable in this environment Like he's showing up even though he has no idea how to show up for these people Which is something I try and do in my life. I often feel that way I have three daughters now and and I'm just had your third right like a month ago like a month ago I don't know where I am right now Is it true also that your second one might have been born in an interesting environment Yes, she was born in the front seat of a BMW in the parking lot of the hospital We got to the hospital we didn't get into the hospital and Yeah within five minutes we we got we got into the parking lot and she was like this is happening I was like, no, no, no, we got a we gotta go in Pull my pants down And I did and I suddenly had a baby in my hand You actually have a group chat But you guys are not on it because they didn't want to bother you or something. You haven't even told Okay, good We don't want to bother them too much. There's a lot of correspondence between us. Yeah in the in the two years We talked we talked a lot. So you like lived on the land too. You had like is it true an RV? Yeah, so I have a camper van that's like I love my camper van and when I got this show I I it ended up on set with me and I was like would Can I just camp out by set because it was like an hour to get back and forth? Morning and I'm lazy and I want to sleep in no, I know and so they gave me this like spot on this ranch Where I'm totally alone like up above the Madison River keep sleeping in this van But then I have to go to work and change into my like lavender cashmere sweater every day So yeah, it's it's a strange dynamic. Would you ever do that? Would you ever go? I keep inviting her But she just won't ever do that. I thought about that as far as he got. Yeah, not by myself Yes, but that's what it gives me the feeling of and then also, you know, there's so many different dynamics I'm a 51 year old woman and I related to everything that everybody was going through. I've been there I'm there right now. Oh, I remember that. Oh, I'm about to go through that. It's all Taylor's writing That's that's what's great about this. It's female gaze I Didn't realize I related so well to I want that to be their thing and Did we miss out on our thing? Because of it and is it true that you were crying too? Like when things came to a close where you are you that guy cuz I cried when we rewrapped Yes, I cry a lot. I almost cried walking out No, I I mean this is just such a special group And it's such a special story and this is my first show. So all of this has been new
