This looks very Elwood.
It's so Elwood.
I might need to borrow it if we make a legally bond three.
I'll give you, which, I mean.
We gotta talk about it.
You know what, I'm just skipping to behind the scenes.
We're on the subject, let's do it.
Ladies and gentlemen, royalty, Four Christmases.
This is a fly on the wall, a tidbit moment.
First thing to come, first of all,
every, almost every scene is improvised.
Vince Vaughn is one of the funniest people
I've ever met in my entire life.
Literally trying to hold my stomach.
There's a scene where I'm holding a baby
and it spits up on me.
And y'all, if you watch it again,
you have to see how fast they have to cut away from me
because I was dying laughing.
It's a fake baby with like a tube inside of it
shooting pancake batter at me.
Like, oh my god, this is the funniest thing ever.
That's like in our jobs when I always say
you never know where the day is gonna take you.
Yeah.
But so he's that funny.
He is so funny.
Cause I don't know him very well.
I've never gotten to work with him.
And the way I see him, like when I watch him,
it feels so natural and off the cuff.
Like he's riffing, but I don't know if that's the case.
It is?
He's completely making it up on the day.
He's completely making it up.
And so you have to roll with it
and you have to keep a straight face too.
Or add on, which was,
I learned so much on that movie about improv.
And being quick on your feet.
I mean, you're so that, you know, that.
But I had never had to do that.
And that was good for me because it, you know,
it's important to level up in your work.
Keep you on your toes.
Boy, he made me level up.
I was like, oh, I gotta keep up with Vince Vaughn.
Oh, that's so hot.
I love that.
Okay.
Legally Blonde, of which I'm dressed in honor of.
Look at me.
I am in honor of Elwood State.
Okay.
It's amazing.
Yeah, I want to tell you something about the courtroom scene
was inspired by my cousin Vinny.
Have you ever seen my cousin Vinny?
Hey, Marissa Tomei in that movie,
she won an Oscar for it.
That's right.
She came in at the very end and testified
with this very technical jargon about a car or a carburetor.
And I was like, I said to the writers,
I want to have a moment like that
where I say something very specific about,
only Elwoods would know it.
And it's about a perm.
Oh, I remember.
And it was inspired by Marissa Tomei.
That you would never get in the shower after a perm.
Yes.
I remember that scene that we shot in the rain.
And I'm in the wedding dress
and I run away from my wedding
and I run to see Josh Lucas on the beach
and it was pouring down rain.
But I remember thinking,
this is such a crazy, amazing moment.
I'm gonna remember this forever.
And I still have the wedding dress.
I do, yeah.
And is it true, I heard this weird rumor,
but I have no idea it's true.
Is the scene in Tiffany's inspired by a real life story?
I don't know, but we really were in Tiffany's
and they really shut down all of Tiffany's,
turned off all the lights and then turned them on
and all the rings were there
and all the people who worked there.
It was really magical.
It was Andy Tennant, who directed your movie.
Ever After, I did Andy Tennant.
Yes, and so he did Ever After.
Hitch.
Hitch, and he did Sweet Home Alabama.
Cruel Intention.
Oh, yeah, look at Sarah.
Look at your baby.
Oh my gosh.
You know what's so, I just love that movie too.
Because I love that dichotomy between the two of us
that one of us presents as sort of this good,
virginal, perfect girl,
but she's really as masterminding as Sarah's character.
And it was just, that was such a fun movie to make.
I remember driving in a vintage Jaguar
down the Long Island Freeway going,
I hope I don't crash, this is terrifying.
I will never forget.
And I was wearing sunglasses.
Those old cars are hard to drive.
They are really hard to drive.
It's a good thing my brother taught me
to drive a stick when I was little.
I learned on a Renault Le Carre.
You gotta learn on a stick.
You have to know.
And by the way, if you want your kids to text less,
make them drive a stick in the car.
Oh, that's a good point.
It's gonna be my new parenting hack
when my kids turn 16.
Right?
Yes.
Also, I commend your performance on this so much
because I feel like I watched your character
truly grow up over the course of the movie,
which is a very methodical,
but yet executed very naturally,
the innocence into the understanding
and the playing the game and then winning.
It's a real evolution.
Yeah, and it's also about loss of innocence too.
I think that always resonates with people.
How do you feel?
And gosh, I love Sarah so much.
It's funny because we have a mom story together too.
We had kids the same age.
All three of our kids,
all of Tennessee and her son, Rocky,
are all the same age.
Our kids were born on the same day, by the way.
Yeah, on the same day.
And we were at my wedding,
pregnant with our two bellies.
And then we gave birth on the same day.
I know.
I mean, it's like the funnest.
It was really fun.
Okay.
The one I was bragging about earlier,
your Academy Award winning performance, Walk the Line.
I worked so hard on this show
and Joaquin just could not have been more magical.
He became Johnny Cash right in front of us.
And it was really magical.
And it was meaningful.
I felt like the spirit of June Carter the whole time.
I felt Johnny was watching us.
I felt like,
it's also, I'm from Nashville, Tennessee.
So country music has been part of my upbringing.
So it was really a love letter to country music.
And where I came from.
Okay, the morning show.
We're both like, what?
I mean, just getting every day to work with her
and get to do these fun scenes.
We were just talking about it the other day.
I just wrapped, on Saturday, we wrapped season three.
When is it coming out?
It's coming out this year.
This year?
This year.
All right.
Big Little Lies.
Season two, when you bring in Meryl Streep,
talk about bringing that woman into the scene with you guys.
That was another gift.
She called and said,
I think I want to be on the show.
And we're like,
Streep on line one.
Meryl Streep.
She called Nicole Kidman.
Cause they're very close.
They had done a lot of shows together.
Of course they are.
And so Nicole calls me.
She goes,
I'm going to do my bad Australia.
She's like,
Meryl called.
And she wants to be in the Big Little Lies too.
And I was like,
what are you talking about?
Yes.
Okay, really quickly.
Friends, I love you as Rachel's sister.
Honestly, she's such an icon.
They were all icons.
What's the Friends set like?
It's incredible.
Central Perk was amazing.
I got to sit on the couch at Central Perk.
Can I tell you my favorite line from Friends
that I actually got to say?
The writers were so brilliant.
So she says,
look, you can have any guy you want,
but you can't have Ross.
And I go,
can't have?
Can't have?
The only thing I can't have is dairy.
I love it.
