I'd mentioned I hadn't seen the others, but you play because Charlize Theron was in the the original. You're the younger her, right?
This is a prequel. Yes. Yeah, that's kind of cool. And then you have a little girl. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is crazy
So there's a little girl in the movie. Mm-hmm, and I was like, how did they find this girl?
She looks so similar like, you know, I color that one where I was just like, how do y'all look like so similar?
Well, I clear the movie I guess but like it and then it was totally AI. Yeah
It's really it was like a lot of AI they did with this little actor, right?
So George Miller had the idea like very very early on that he wanted because cat like the audience was already getting used to a
New Furiosa. Yeah, he wanted the transition from both actors playing her to be seamless
and so I did two days of like the craziest things you could ever possibly imagine and they
Mixed our faces together and at the beginning of the movie
It's 35% and then by the time I pick her up, it's gone up to 80%
It's
It's wild to see I never thought I'd start my own eyes and mouth on the face of another person like it was wild
I know does that
Scare you as an actor like I don't know how I feel about I think it's cool because it may it made the movie
Incredibly cool because of the AI but at the same time it kind of it worries me, too
I think you have do you have those reservations?
Absolutely. I think in terms of the effect that George was going for he you know got it nailed it
But there's a reason that our industry went on strike, you know, like it is something that is frightening
And I think if you're going to use it
You have to be honest about it and it always has to be consensual
It's the lack of consent in anything in life. That is the scary thing. Yeah, well put. Yeah, absolutely
