Margot Robbie

0:03Hello and welcome to Table Mummas, I'm Jessie Ware and I'm here with Lenny looking fat. How are you Lenny? I'm okay, all things considered. I won't go into detail. I have had a really busy weekend. I bet you have. A bit with you. Yeah. But I went from, like, putting out a song, being on Graham Norton, to volunteering on the hot dog stand at the school disco. I thought I was doing the bar, but instead I was manhandling, like, jarred sausages. Did you prefer the bar? Yeah. Because last time you got drunk. Yeah. Yeah. No, I still got drunk, but it's fine. Okay. Went to a really cool new club in Peckham called Palais.

0:40Wow. Which is fab, so that's exciting. So yeah, I feel absolutely wrecked, to be honest. And then I've been trying to cram for this guest that we've got today, who I'm very excited about. Because, you know, these are her ends, so it feels only right that she's coming home. She's back in her own hunting ground. We've got Margot Robbie coming on today. I hope she's hungry. I'm sure she's tired. She was in Paris last night for the premiere of Wuthering Heights there. And her train is delayed and she is coming straight from the Eurostar to here. She's on her way. I'm sure she's hungry. Yeah. What have you made, Mum?

1:16I've made salmon with fennel and clementines. So the salmon's going to be baked in the oven in a sauce that I've made with star anise. My own citrus vodka. I thought it was verbena. I didn't use verbena because I didn't have a verbena about my person. But I did have lemon peel, which you put in a jar. Yeah. And it's been marinating for a week. Wow. And then it's going to go on the salmon, that sauce, and then I'm going to bake it. And then I'm going to put candied clementine on the top. Let's hope it's nice. It's a guardian recipe, isn't it? Yes, a guardian feast. It reminds me a bit of the Ottolenghi.

1:58The Ottolenghi. What booze does he put in with that? Ouzo or Arak Arak Yeah And then I've done a crunchy salad Yeah I've roasted chickpeas in my air fryer Very pleased with those And then you've brought one of your breads Yeah I have Do you think this is a tip top? I think it's a decent one It's got a good rise on it I made another one this morning That had been in the fridge for just under 48 hours And it had lost its height So this one That sounds great I think it's going to be okay It may not be as sour because it's only had like 14 hours. Oh. But never mind. You could be talking Chinese and I'd understand it better.

2:40I don't know nothing about baking. I'm sorry, I'm just... And you're a baker now. I'm that gal. No, it looks okay. You just never know until you cut through. Looks fabulous. Thank you. And then for dessert, I've made a Middle Eastern eaten mess. Yum. So it's got pomegranate, strawberries, pomegranate molasses, sumac, mascarpone and sour cream. Have you made this one before? I have, but I don't think I did it as religiously as I did it this time. And I made meringues last week, so that's why I've made it, so I could use the meringues. Oh, great. Sounds delicious. I hope so. So Margot's coming on to talk about Wuthering Heights, which stars her and Jacob Elordi and Alison Oliver, Martin Clunes and revelatory Owen Cooper who was in Adolescents Owen Cooper is so good isn't it yeah he's so great and directed by Emerald Fennell who's been on the podcast before who we love anyway we went to see it I've thoroughly enjoyed it the costumes the sex yeah a lot of sex the moors Charlie XCX's soundtrack a lot of sex I can't wait to talk to Margot about it and a lot of sex Margot Robbie coming up on Table Manners

5:40My old stomping ground. Whereabouts did you live? Was it this side? I was on Clapham Manor Street, the other side. So if you went across the common a little bit, like to the right from here, I think. Yeah. Wait, so do you both live here? One of you lives here. She was brought up here. I was brought up here. Is this your family home? Yeah. But I don't live here anymore. But we're near enough. We almost live together. Yeah. Not quite. Well, you're doing this often and often. Yeah, exactly. So yeah. How much has Clapham changed since, I mean, I was living in Clapham. Just more restaurants. More restaurants.

6:13Good ones, though. Yeah, I mean, we've got Abbeville Road here, and that's got great restaurants on it, or places you'd like to go. I feel like you and Miriam Margulies are the people that really change things for Clapham. Yeah, yeah. Were you here when Nardouli's was open? No. Was that the ice cream place? Is it not open anymore? No. When it had it opened by then, it's... In Old Town. On the pavement in Old Town. Oh, that amazing right across from the common there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, I love that place. The best ice cream. The best. Yes, no, I get that a lot. It was delicious ice cream. So which places did you go to in Clapham?

6:51Did you go to a pub? Nothing terribly reputable. I was 24 at the time. It was probably my heaviest party in year was my Clapham days. So there was a lot of infernos. Well, actually, that's a perfect segue. Is it? We've got something. A little gift from us. Better than an Oscar we've got. Oh my gosh, the envelope's beautiful.

7:17I'm going to read it. This certifies that Margot Robbie is officially recognised as Inferno's royalty. Amazing. Entitled to unlimited cue jumps and guaranteed access to our carpeted dance floor, valid forever, signed with love, Inferno's. That is amazing. If I take this to Inferno's, are they going to be like, what the hell is that? I think your face will do enough, but I think you're fine. And you can stick to the carpet even more. Oh, absolutely. I love the carpet. Did you have your, did Inferno's the nightclub, which as a Clapham person, I've always actually avoided, which I love. I understand that.

7:53I'm from a place called the Gold Coast in Australia, and it's known for Surfers Paradise. And like, if you're from the Gold Coast, you don't go to Surfers Paradise. Okay, got it. Well, you did actually when you were 18. But then once you got out of that face, you never went back. The surfers paradise just for the surfers. You would think the surfing is actually better elsewhere, I'd say. But it's a big party. What about the surfers? Surfers. There's surfers everywhere on the Gold Coast. Everyone's a surfer. Oh, okay. Fair enough. It's like embarrassing if you don't surf. Oh, okay. You kind of have to.

8:18But no, Infernos was actually the reason we lived where we lived. Oh, my God. I love you. Because my roommates, one of them I'm now married to, but we ended up getting married. But at the time when we were just roommates, we were just mates and a bunch of us, we went to Inferno's and they used to tell me about this place. The two guys that I now also have a production company with. Anyways, they're like Inferno's is the greatest place in the world. So you only had to turn left at the end of Clapham Manor Street. Well, we didn't live there. But we didn't live there yet. We were doing a job in Belgium where I met them and they said they would tell me about the infamous Inferno's.

8:55And they're like, this place is so fun. You can't get kicked out of there. That's why it's so great. You can do anything Inferno's and you can't get kicked out. And I was like, wow, that sounds like paradise. And so we all, you know, had a weekend in London when the job was done and, of course, we went to Inferno's. And within about 15 minutes we got kicked out. And while we were getting dragged out by security, I was screaming, but this is Inferno's. I can't get kicked out of Inferno's. And the bouncer was like, look, we allow most things, but when your friend does, then we kick you out. And I was like, okay, fair enough.

9:27Have you been kicked out of many clubs, Margot? Most of the clubs in Clapham, I'd say, have kicked us out. Yeah, for a while we were banned at a number of places. Was Cafe Soul still doing, like, music? Yeah, Cafe Soul. That's where I used to go underage. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like at midnight it suddenly changes from, like, a lounge bar to, like. And you stopped eating crocodile nuggets. Sort of. I mean, it was vodka revs back then. Oh, yeah. It was, like, a random place with, like, honky-tonk bar or, like, oh, have you ever been to Mosquito Bar? No. that's that's even that's when infernos kicks you out then you go to mosquito bar it's it's so then you move to clap and mamma street so sorry you couldn't live yes that's yes i mean it's revolting but kind of brilliant you always end up there yeah yeah well i um so we we uh ended up all deciding to move in together to finish that story and um i had gone back to america at that point and so we were looking online and the guys were like oh it's a sign This place is down the road from Inferno.

10:27So we literally signed our lease just because it was down the road from Inferno. And did you go swimming at the swimming pool? The swimming pool? Oh, on Clamanness Street. Yeah, we used to go there. Me too. That's right. It's lovely, isn't it? Like the leisure centre. For my atcliffy. And there's a good, what was the good pub on the end there? The Bread and Roses, is it? No, next to Bread and Roses. Crafties. Crafties. And then Stonhouse around the corner. Stonhouse is really good. Always go to Stonnies. Is that called the pig's head now, Mum? No. No, Stonehouse is still there. Still there? Yeah.

10:57That's good. Yeah, it's been a while. My clapping days were a long time ago. And then the off-license across from our house was our, you know, we made friends with Johnny. Shout out to Johnny and Neil who ran the offie across the road from us. Knew them both. They never believed. Oh, they'd come over to our parties. They were great. And they never believed I was famous. I invited them to a premiere one time when I did a movie with Will Smith. And I was like, Johnny and Neil, I'd love for you to come. I've got a premiere. Do you want to come? and they were like you and I was like yeah I'm they're like in the movie and I'm like yeah I'm in the movie I showed them the invite and I was like that's me that's my face they're like it's not you that's Will Smith I'm like that's Will Smith but next to Will Smith that's me and they wouldn't believe me and I was like just come to the premiere and see for yourself they didn't come but anyways they know now they know now that I work that I work in the movies and sometimes we go back and visit just to say hi I love that yeah it's lovely um you you spend some time in UK still don't you in london i'm here a lot actually because things shoot here so often that's nice and so it's i know it's perfect so i i end up back here and then you're like here for a long stretch you know when we did barbie i was back for like a year oh did you show wuthering heights yeah shot that whole thing here i mean we did some we did a couple weeks on location in california in la oh yeah the rollerblading the rollerblading and all that hard to hard to mimic that in the old common but uh yeah and then and then Wuthering Heights we shot here where did you shoot Wuthering Heights at Elstree Sky Elstree Studios and then we went up for the location stuff to the moors in Yorkshire I mean it was so they made it look different almost more dystopian what the sets yeah yeah it was like Emerald our director Emerald Fennell wanted it to feel like a old like a 50s melodrama like yeah like a stage movie like she wanted it to feel like you were on stages like on a set yeah yeah yeah so it's like a slightly surreal yeah world slightly heightened more heightened when you go to thrush cross grange yeah and but still heightened at wuthering heights in a different way and then of course we location we were like well we have to go to yorkshire that's where the book takes place we had emerald here did you yeah years ago oh my gosh she told She's amazing.

13:09She was lovely. She's fab. I know. She's amazing. Well, the reason, do you know, she's actually in Barbie as well. She's the pregnant Barbie because when we were doing Promising Young Woman, so we've produced all three of her films and the first one was Promising Young Woman and she was like seven months pregnant when we started that job. So she was like, had the baby right after we wrapped sort of thing. So, I mean, she's superhuman. but uh then when she was winning her oscar for that screenplay she was pregnant again and i remember greta being like it's like she's always pregnant and then when we were like we she greta was like i've got an idea let's ask emerald to be the permanently pregnant barbie and barbie um because of that and you know they they you know like love each other and and and so emerald and we were shooting saltburn right as we wrapped barbie and so my first ad who was Andy our first AD on Wuthering 2 would be calling me being like we've got to do tech checks and you've got Emerald coming in to be this pregnant Barbie like this is we need to be pregnant I was like I know both are important both are important but probably Sopin is more important for her.

14:16Margot you've had a few gorgeous leading men. I've been quite lucky. You've lucked out my really. You know what the thing that I really appreciated about this um interpretation of Fothering Heights that was the sex the sex that they introduced really early on in the book no they don't so much I'm reading it at the moment because I want I'd never read it me either like I and it's fantastic it's got that Emily she's talented that Emily yeah but don't you think it's like I can't believe that book was written in that time like in the 1800s they would have been shocked but it's also just the structure of it's so interesting and yeah and she was 27 when she wrote it and she was dead by the time she was 30.

15:05Do you become best friends with all your lovers on screen? I kind of become really good friends with everyone I work with like you spend so much time together like day in day out and you're all it's like you're at this summer camp and you're all i don't know you all become friends not not always not everyone but kind of everyone and especially on this job too like it was such a good gang that yeah you just do um it's it's sad when a job but i also think that's probably due to how you want your sets to yes be because you know everyone that talks about margot robbie says what a laugh you are how talented and what a great person you are to work with and all of this right but you're creating this environment right because you're the producer yeah and you're heavily involved so yeah do you feel like you are a leader in those on those sets that you are producing and starring in yeah and I just don't agree that you have to all be tormented in order to make the art I think there's like a weird misconception that if it's not this tortured experience nothing great's going to come out of it and I've been on sets that feel very tense and not fun and there's a lot of that tortured artist vibe happening and the film wasn't that good and then I've been on sets that are an absolute delight joyful every day and the film is excellent so it's like why not just all have a good time I don't think people need to be miserable to make good art do you think you learned that from kind of more negative experiences or did you learn from somebody that you felt like I like how they like lead a gang or do you think it was from your family I don't know I don't know I think I just like you know I've been working for a really long I mean I've been doing this full time since I was 17 on Neighbours.

16:54Is that a happy ship? Oh the best I had the best and look sure I'm sure I'm sure some people didn't enjoy their time on Neighbours but I had the best time ever and everyone I worked with seemed to be the best time. Was Madge alive then? No Madge wasn't at that point. But Harold. Harold was. Thank God. Toadie, Dr. Carl, the whole gang. um no I had the best time ever but you you know I quickly recognized that I was always going to be spending the majority of my life on set and I don't want the majority of my life to be unhappy I want to I want to be happy and have a great time and do what I love and if I can do it all at the same you know at the same time does the fath thing drive you mad you know you've got to get the hair right and the makeup what are you making by the way oh yeah so good it does smell good mom oh it It does smell very exciting.

17:43Yeah, I've been squeezing into these dresses. No, yeah, God, no, you can let it all out today, Margo, and everything. No, I wore a comfy outfit. This is very fabulous. Is it Chanel? It is Chanel. Oh, my God, I just love you're in a little lounger Chanel. And it's so comfy. Will you keep that one? I have my glorified pyjamas. Will you keep that one? No, I have to give everything back. Why? It looks so nice from you. What do you mean? Every time you wear something, you have to give it back. Don't you? Chanel are good to me. They send me a lot of bags and whatnot. Are you wearing Chanel tomorrow?

18:13I am not wearing Chanel tomorrow. Do you mean to the premiere? Yeah. Wait, premiere's not tomorrow. No, it's in a few days. But no, I am not. Who are you wearing? I'm wearing Dallara. I can never say her last name. Do you know this really cool designer? Dallara Defongaluma. Is she the one that won the British Fashion Awards? I think she did. Yes, and she did that incredible stained cherry outfit. She is like an artist. Anyways, she's made me a dress made out of hair. Oh, wow. It's got a hair. Who's hair? I'm hoping fake hair. I'm hoping it's not real person hair, but it's, you know, it was fitting for the movie.

18:51So at the start, did you see the movie? Yes. Yeah, I did. Yes, and we loved it. I have not got over it yet. Oh, no, it's quite something. I mean, Alice, you're just looking at yourself and being like, this is just what we needed on a Friday morning. Thank you so much. It's not what you need. I really enjoyed it. I know, me too. I love it. I think people are going to just have a good time. Anyways, do you remember the opening credits? And it's the hair. So that's actually my hair that then they replicated and did this. Like Emerald was, we were on the street in Soho and she was like, I need some of your hair.

19:27And I was like, all right. And I just ripped it out and like gave her a little bit of hair. And she was like, well, what am I going to do with this? I was like, you just asked for it. And she was like, well, not now. I have to walk through Soho with just clutching your hair. How much did you do that? Just like five strands or something, not too much. Anyways, so she put it in her pocket and then went and worked at this stop animation and they kind of replicated it. And the opening, yeah, that Wuthering Heights thing is with my hair. I think that's what. And so we're tying it in with the dress.

19:51But that's what I found so interesting. I think we, everyone, I didn't know what to expect. We've seen the poster. It looks very, you know, it's passionate. It's you two looking into each other's eyes. We've heard some of the music by Charlie. and then that opening shot of I don't want to give anything away it's crazy opening though it's fantastic and I was like and then you're like you're like okay yeah okay this is the way we're going yeah and then it's a bit of a tone setter it's a bit of like a shock to the system like and also like buckle up this is the movie you're in but I really I was excited by that it was really it was a fantastic I know and Charlie's song to it is like it was fantastic it kind of gets your blood pumping in a way yeah i've got goosebumps yeah it's so it's so unexpected and i i just i think she's done something really amazing with her album and all the music she's put into the movie but that song in particular i because i was like oh what are we going to open with and use temp music and stuff and and then when she came like when she sent us that the john cale voice i was like throbbing literally throbbing it was perfect and unexpected i'm going to give you something to eat because I think it must be starving.

21:04Thank you, thank you. Yeah, and then the score, Anthony Willis, who's just incredible. Jessie, you take charge of this. His score's quite classical, you know, it's like a proper movie score, movie score. So blending, actually blending it all together was a fun challenge. No, go on. Is this the ASMR part of the show where everyone's like hearing? No, that's when you start slopping salmon in your mouth, though. Well, speaking of fish, there's a very visceral shot in the... There is indeed. Was that your idea? Emeralds. Emeralds. Is she a filthy bitch? Emeralds. She obviously is, and I love it. She's a big drill to be referred to as such, to be honest.

21:41She tested probably 50 fish before we shot that. She wanted the exact right consistency with the jelly. Thank you. Do you like fennel? I love fennel. This is delicious, Mum. Is it? The candied orange or whatever. Delicious. Tell us, what is it? It's salmon with... Right, so it's salmon. I made citrus vodka. Because I mean, you know... It's a bit of a reputation to have been. So it's citrus vodka and clementines and orange juice and honey. And then you put it on the top with dill. So I hope it does taste nice. It's really good, Mum. Is it? Yeah. That is phenomenal. I may do this for Shabbos dinner on Friday.

22:27So you're a good cook too, Jessie? Yeah, she's better than me, I think. Really? I'm invested in eating. I'm very invested in eating, but I'm a terrible cook. Really? Can you tell us about a memorable dish from your childhood? Who was around the dinner table? What were you eating? I've got a lot of siblings. And my mum is a terrible cook. And she won't mind me saying that because she's aware. And I'm a terrible cook. and we both just know that this is our shortcoming in life. So, no, no one was ever like, oh, mum, please make that. Right. But very simple food. Pretty much everything was accompanied by mashed potatoes.

23:06So it was either, you know, bangers and mash, rissoles and mash, spaghetti bolognese too. With that? No, no, no. Didn't double up on the carbs there. Did you like your mum's spaghetti bolognese? I just love spaghetti bolognese. I love anyone's spaghetti bolognese. and I love it when people make you spaghetti bolognese because everyone does it different and it's kind of like a yeah it's like a little personal thing they're sharing with you but my husband is a phenomenal cook well done well done he could be a chef if he wanted to he's so good so it's yeah we're like a perfect match I love to eat do you know what I didn't know he was a good cook until after we got married hang on you lived together what were you eating Yeah, but we were not, this was a share house with seven people crammed into a four bedroom share house in Clapham.

23:56So there was not, the kitchen was not used for cooking. The kitchen was used for body shots and whatnot. But so I didn't even know he was a good cook. And then we were married and, you know, finally lived. Our roommates were finally like, we shouldn't all live together. It's weird now that you guys are married. Oh, you were still, you got married and then you stayed on the pasture. We got married quite quickly and then we kept living with our roommates. Not in Clapham, we moved to Shepherd's Bush. and then um yeah then our roommates were like it's kind of weird that you're still living with roommates when you're married and we're like is it it doesn't feel weird and they're like yeah you guys should try living on your own we're like okay and then we went and lived on our own and um that's when he started cooking yeah then he started cooking and my god he's really good at it um what's tom what's what's the dish that like you you would if we were coming over to yours you'd be like, make that.

24:46I think a fun one for guests is when he makes like this like lamb kebabs because it's like you get your hands into it and he's like, he cooks it on the big green egg and then he makes like different chilli jams and then it's like all the accompaniments and the one does a pita bread in the gosni and he's got all the kit. Oh, I love a gosni. He loves the kit. At least he knows how to use his egg. He absolutely does. Oh, you know, he'll crawl into bed at like 3am sometimes and I'll smell like it. I'm like, you've been with the egg, haven't you? I'm like, what are you doing down there? Is there some brisket, 16-hour brisket on the way?

25:21Oh, God, that's so attractive. I know, I love it. He gets up in the night. You can cook in an egg. You can smoke a brisket. You can. Yeah, Mum, that's the thing. This might revolutionise the show. But my husband, God love him. He's cute. He's a lovely great dad. He's shit on a barbecue. And he thinks he's good. Oh, oh, no. No, it's a shame. He thinks he's quite good. Should you gently? No, don't worry, I do, Margot. Get him a little bit of class. No, I mean, I just go, let me do it. But bless him. But yeah, I think the egg is very hard to master. So respect. Oh, no, no, you've got to have a lot of patience.

25:55This is my problem. This is why I can't cook. I've got no patience. Really? I just try and shortcut it and then something lights on fire. You know what's been really good for me? Because I am also really impatient. And sourdough has been like my yoga. I don't love making it. but it does something to me where I know it's therapeutic. Yeah, I've never found that zen space in the kitchen. Fair enough. I'd like to, though. So mum wasn't a great cook. Mum was not a great cook. Who was around the dinner table? I've got two brothers and a sister. So us four. And mum. And no, she wasn't a great cook. And she was like, you know, a single working mum with four kids.

26:37So quite busy. What did she do? she's a physiotherapist wow wow she worked at yeah special schools with kids with disabilities she's an angel I want to talk about your aunt okay is it Aunt Aunt Mezzy Mezzy yeah how do you know Mezzy well I don't know it oh I don't know Mezzy I'd love to know Mezzy oh Mezzy's a great time oh Mezzy yeah no Mez is a hoot and you would love her this is why I wanted to talk about it because I listened to you on a podcast and you talked about Aunt Mezzy and it sounded so gorgeous so I felt like you know It's about family and food, and I felt like Aunt Mezzy needed a shout-out.

27:12Mezzy should always get a shout-out. J-Mo Mez, so my Uncle J-Mo, my Aunt Mez. I've been, you know, married since they were teenagers, I think. Very Australian. Like, my accent is very, very, very neutralised, I would say. Now? Yes, now. Was it stronger before? Oh, my God, it was terrible. I when I went on when I started on neighbors I did not sound anything like this when I started on neighbors they got me a dialect coach because my accent was too Australian like can you give us a an old Margot accent I don't even know I don't even know have you like you've taken it out of your mind like you can't ever go back there the thing is I didn't know I had a strong accent I thought I sounded totally fine so I can't even hear what it was and my my younger brother um found like a video online not that long ago and he sent it to me and it was with my, you know, while I was on Neighbours.

28:08And I honestly was like, that's not how I spoke. That is terrible. And that's after the accent coaching. And I was like, yeah, I know you're not. It's just so bad. I can't, I can't even. Yeah, it was really, really Australian. But Aunt Mezzy. But Aunt Mezzy. Aunt Mezzy's just the best. Aunt Mezzy loves a rum and coke, loves doing a crossword. Yeah, she can bake. I'd say the best cook... The best cook in my life really is Tom. But I would say, you know, meals are always the thing that brings everyone together, isn't it? What's his spag bol secret ingredient? Oh, yeah. He spends two days making it.

28:47Oh, my God, he's that guy. He's a two-day spag bol. Do you like... Is it... Are you just like, babe, I just wanted spag bol two days ago? Yeah, no. Every time, I'm like, I'll just eat it like this. Like, I honestly don't mind. It's going to taste brilliant to me. He does a three-day fried rice. It really, really makes you wait with like this Korean short rib with it. Oh, it's unbelievable. What? And he does steak better than any restaurant I've ever been to. Steak, I'd say, is his. Okay, so what's his trick that he does? I don't know. You're useless, Margot. This is unhelpful. I mean, listen, I know he puts it in the oven and then does a reverse sear in a skillet pan.

29:26In the oven? And he does oven first at the moment and then reverse sear. and he puts like butter and rosemary and stuff in the pan and then pours it over the steak yeah yeah yeah yeah and it's banging so if okay we weren't coming around to yours but probably are because it sounds delicious yeah where are you eating where are some of your spots that you never go wrong like restaurants yeah do you know what i love i love thai food and chinese food me Me too. Oh. We have a lot of Thai and Chinese in Australia and I know Indian's probably the bigger go-to here in England. Have you got a house in Australia too?

30:06No, but I want to live back there one day. I just stay at my mum's house. As we do. We all come home in the end. You do. I think it would be really... I have no reason to live in Australia, but I do think it would be a really beautiful place to bring up kids. Yeah, just like going to the beach and everything's outdoors. I was like, I asked Tom, you know, when I hear about his childhood, I'm like, and what would you do after school? He'd be like, oh, we'd just, you know, crowd around the radiator and play video games. I was like, that sounds so miserable. He's like, yeah, it was just cold all the time.

30:37And I was like, oh. He's like, what would you do? And I'm like, we'd build a rope swing and jump into rivers. Like, it was just like outside. Wow. Jessie watched Neighbours. I watched Neighbours. You got an idea of it then. So tell me, where's the Chinese spot that you're going right now? Take us to. My go-to is Minjang. Where is it? I've never actually been there. I just get it on Deliveroo. Oh, I have. And it travels well. Do you know what's crazy about Deliveroo? What? It gets to your house so fast. In America, we've got something called Postmates. Yeah, hopeless. But you're waiting like 70 minutes.

31:11Yeah. Here, sometimes I order like my Chinese and it's at the door seven minutes later. I'm like, how is that even possible? You know, I tried yesterday. I like a fad trend TikTok thing. I did the viral Dumpling lasagna Babe it's really good A dumpling lasagna? Yeah you make like the insides of a dumpling My kids are obsessed with soup dumplings And dumplings When my four year old is sad I go would you like me to do dumplings for dinner And he goes yeah Anyway so I did I mean no itzu do fabulous ones In the freezer they're fabulous But anyway this you get pork mince You put some spring onions ginger garlic soy mirim and then you just layer with like gyoza or wonton wrappers on top and it's like that and then you pour some water and and then you steam it on the hob babe delicious everyone ate it heaven so like and it worked it was fab very exciting very fun all the kids ate it maybe I could pull that off you could pull it off if I was to ever have a cooking show or cookbook or something I was always I always thought I'd call it Bogan's Delight.

32:22And it would be all the Bogan things that I grew up eating, which are very, very simple things to make. Even someone like me can't go wrong and delicious. I was very much a Bogan growing up, though I did not realize it at the time. But we have, you know, classic Bogan things. Like in our house, well, first of all, which is quite Bogan, but also makes me think of home, we have five C's, which means at five o 'clock you sit and have your, like a little cheese board, but it's not a fancy cheese board. I know it sounds chic, but when you look at it, it's cool. We have like a bowl of nuts and bolts, which is just like an assortment of like a bit of nutri-grain in there.

32:59A curry. Mezzi makes actually. Mezzi makes the best nuts and bolts. You've got like certain nuts, but mainly you've got cereal in there. And like some dried like Asian noodles and then like a curry sauce over it. Do you have anything like this here? Hang on. Hang on. It's not a dry. It's not a dry. It's like a dry, like nibbly sort of thing. It's like a Bombay mix. It's like Bombay mix. All right. Sure. Yeah, maybe that's it. So you have it. Right. Kids have it. Oh, yeah. I have it at Five Z's. So Five Z's is nuts and bolts. Five Z's is nuts and bolts, crackers and cheese. Before your dinner, your tea.

33:32Well, here's where we're going to fall out. Okay. I'm Australian. Yeah. It's always, cheese is always before dinner. Cheese, like, I cannot have cheese after a meal. It's so, it's like starting. So Housewives again. That's very Housewives. I love the hills of you, yeah. You're a cheese board before your meal. So what would be on your cheese board? What cheese? Well, if I'm back home, I'd have barbecue saccata. Pardon? Yeah, it's like a rice cracker. It's like you're speaking a different language. Barbecue saccata and just classic, like just cheddar cheese on that. And on top of that, I'd cut a cocktail onion in half and pop that on top.

34:12That would be my favorite. And this is what people have every evening. This is what we have at five. What time do you eat then? I don't know. Whenever. Whenever it's ready. In our house, it often would be late because things were quite disorganized. But your mum was working. Yeah, exactly. So it's like you making your own little snack before dinner. Yeah. But it's also like a family thing. They have a rum and coke, five seats, and nuts and bolts. When did you start with the rum and coke? How old are you? And you started with them. Twelve. Twelve. I love this. My mum used to, in order to get us to sit, I don't know if I'd share this.

34:48Share this. She used to give us Kahlua milk so that we'd do our homework. Oh, my God, I love it. Jessie, this is where you're going wrong. No, I love this. Because we'd be running around like maniacs. And mum would push in Kahlua milk. She drunk you. She was like, sit at the bench and do your homework. When do Australians. She's giving you white Russians. And I love white Russians, probably why. There you go. When do Australians start to drink coffee? What age do you think? Coffee? Well, I always drink tea. I can't live without a cup of tea.

35:27Oh, is this a bit of star anise in here? Oh, yes. Sorry. Love. And she says she doesn't cook. I know. Well, do you know what I do do at Christmas time? Jamie Oliver's recipe, mulled wine recipe, which does have a little bit of star anise in it. so that's why I know what that is. Just a humble brag. You're on the cocktails then. That's your bit. Cheeseboard and cocktails, that's what I do. I think that's a really vital component. I think it's vital. It is. To a host. Absolutely vital. And your best cocktail? I mean, I do make a really good mild wine because I just follow Jamie's recipe and I don't make any shortcuts.

36:00Okay. I don't mess that up. I'm pretty... Do you know what? I made a martini for my friend the other day. I love a martini. Me too. How do you take yours? I do mine dirty with gin. Yeah, how dirty? Not terribly dirty. Not filthy, but dirty. Okay. Like Christina Aguilera, three R's in the dirty. But my friend has hers vodka with a twist, and I made it for her the other day, and she said it's the best martini she's ever had. Oh, wow, congratulations. And I was like, did you mean that? Because I'm really taking that to heart. And she's like, I meant that. And do you use your engine? Yeah. Yeah. Papa.

36:33Why is it called Papa Salt? Well, because we're traveling in Sri Lanka. Oh, wow. Why were you travelling there? Just by not. Just for holidays? Yes, yeah, yeah. But it wasn't. Okay, great. I'm going on Friday. Oh, you're just showing up. Where are you going? Everywhere, I think. Starting off at Colombo, Dambula, Candelana, Candy. Yeah. Then travelling down to Goal. So we're doing... I hope you find your way to a place called Heracotel. My favourite place! Oh, my favourite place! Isn't it amazing? Did you go to the cocktail bar there? Smoking. I don't remember what that was called, but we went everywhere there.

37:10Piracatia is the best. And if you're, like, learning to surf, or you like to surf, but you don't surf, like, crazy waves. I feel like I was Kelly Slater, babe. You can get away for, like, five minutes. I mean, the paddling's a bit of a pain, because you're just paddling. Oh, no, I had somebody pushing me. What? No, no, I paid a guy. They paid someone to push you. They pushed me into the lake. Bloody hell. You don't need to go. It's a cheat. They were tiny. Oh, okay, so it's the fucking surfer's paradise. Don't tell Minnie Driver that. I'm a Jewish princess. You're lucky that I'm even gaining the water.

37:39I can't believe you've got someone pushing you out first. It doesn't happen. Isn't that the whole point of the experience, to schlep out there? Okay, Lenny, let's see you get on a board in Hirakhetia or a hangover. I will not be going on a Hirakhetia board, darling. I honestly think you should. I honestly think I shouldn't. They're gentle waves, they're gentle waves, and you catch them for a long time, so it's satisfying. Yeah, but how do you stand up on it? Easy, you just pop up, you know. Pop up. Pop on up. I'm a long time away from popping up anywhere, darling. A long time. You don't pop anymore?

38:06Don't pop. god it's such a good place it's so great it was heaven being there food gorgeous oh yeah great food well there's this there's this place called the doctor's house did you go to the doctor's house no so if you went like further down the beach like 10 minutes there's this really cool a lot of expats hang out at this place called the doctor's house at least when we were there which was many years ago now but we were at the doctor's house and we ended up drinking with these aussie guys we're from the gold coast which is where i'm from like oh yeah gold coast gold coast blah blah and we're like what brings you guys are you here for surfing they're like no we own this place this is our bar and we were like sick and then we they're like it was new year's eve and they're like kick on with us come meet my dad papa salt he's a real character everyone loves him and we were like of course and so we went and um spent the rest of new year's eve with them and papa salt and papa salt is this like he looks like santa claus on a like on a summer holiday like hawaiian shirt white beard and he's like a proper pirate like he's been shipwrecked three times like he's just full of stories, doesn't really have a set address, just kind of like pops from island to island, just living life.

39:10And we just had this great night and we, like, loved him. And then years later, you know, we made this gin and then it came time to naming it. And we were like, oh, we were trying to come up. It's like getting a tattoo. Like if you take it too seriously, it's kind of cringe. Have you got any tattoos? Only silly ones, which is what I really believe in. And so if it's funny and it reminds you of something, then it's not cringe. And so we were like, it's a cup of salt because it will always make us laugh. It'll make us think of that for years in Sri Lanka. So you haven't got Papa Salt tattooed on him?

39:37I don't, but Papa Salt has Papa Salt tattooed on him. Not Margot Robbie. So years... No, no, I wish it was training. Yet. Yet. He'd probably say... I'll have a word. Do you know, I knew that girl. She came and drank here. She did drink quite a lot. I don't know. She was fun. He can give me a run for my money. He can pull it away. But he's from the Gold Coast too. Has he tried the gin yet? Well, what happened, And as soon as we decided to call it Puff of Salt, we were like, we should let him know. Yeah. And one of our partners, because it's just five of us friends that make Puff of Salt. There's no company behind us or anything.

40:13It's just self-funded and we do it for fun. But kind of like, dad of the group, Charlie was like, there might be some like legal shit here that we should, you know, check on. Turns out there's not because it's a nickname. but I was like yeah but I still want to let him know and so we're like how do we get in touch with the guy we got drunk with years ago in Sri Lanka at a beach bar and our friend Caddy was on a surf trip at the time in Sri Lanka and I called her I was like I bet she's out here at Katia Bay and then I called her and I was like are you here and she was like yes and I was like this is perfect I was like can you go to a place called the doctor's house she was like I was there last Saturday night I was like perfect go back look for a guy that looks like Santa Claus on a summer a holiday and when you find him if you find him facetime us and so we get this facetime from caddy a few days later and she's drunk with papa's soul and she's like so and it's both of them facetiming they're like and she's like he's the best well i know i know i put him on and we're like papa salt do you remember us and he's like oh g'day yeah of course i do he's like g'day margo we're both from the goldie and we're like we made a gin and we want to name it after you we want to name it, Papa Salt.

41:20Are you cool with that? And he was like, yeah, cool. That's great. Like not phased at all. Like as if he gets that phone call once a week. He's like, yeah, sure. Whatever. He's like, I've got, and we're like, is there anything that, you know, you want to go over or any questions? You want to have time to think about it, blah, blah, blah. He's like, no, no, no. Oh, one question. One question. We're like, yeah, sure. Sure. Like, oh, this is a bit where we need to get lawyers involved or a contract or something. He's like, can I make t-shirts and we were like yeah of course he's like yeah okay cool and we're like anything else he's like no that's it and I was like all right sweet well we'd like to do a lifetime supply of Papa Salt and he's like yeah right I'm more of a rum drinker but we're like all right well and now he drinks Papa Salt like we have to ship we have to find out how to get like gallons of Papa Salt to wherever he like last time we checked in he was in Vanuatu we have to like figure out how to ship, like, illegally ship, essentially, proper salt to it.

42:17Where can you buy it? Well, here in England. Yeah. Anywhere, really. Yeah. And then... In LA? No, not in America yet. Just Australia and England, really. And Fiji. Wow. Cool. Have you got another film project up and running? About 10, probably. Well, we have a production company, so we've got a lot of things in development constantly, and you never know what's going to happen next. Oh do you know It's exciting though What A play is coming out Here in London soon Which one It's called 1536 Have you heard of it No Where's it being shown Oh my god So We've jumped on board To produce this too And really It's more of a Supportive producing role Because It was already Ready to go Was it on It's gonna be At the Almeida Oh amazing No I have seen it Advertised So you're Producers on that First time lucky chap Have done theatre production Second time actually Okay We did an off-Broadway show in America called Big Gay Jamboree.

43:15You know Titanic that's playing here at the moment? Yeah, I love it. It's meant for us. So fab. So Marla Mindell, who created that with a friend of hers, also wrote this thing called Big Gay Jamboree. Yeah, Titanic started on off-Broadway, didn't it, as well? So, okay, amazing. And so that's how that happened. But now, 1536, yeah, Ava Pickett wrote it, and I think she's just the best. Honestly, I think she's the best new writer there is right now. and it's so good. I think it's the best play I've ever read. It's about three women living in a village at the time that Anne Boleyn was beheaded. Oh, wow.

43:48And it's kind of about like the effects, the ripple effect of that happening. So it's 1530 when it's set. It's at 1536. But it's so good. It's honestly, it's the best play I've ever read. Would you have liked to have been in it? Yeah. Could you be in it? Maybe if it goes to Broadway? I think I might be a little old for the characters. I don't think I could. Babe, you just played a 17-year-old, so you're fine. No, but Kathy's not 17 in our movie. No, she's not. No, she's like... You look incredibly youthful. Thank you so much. No, in our movie, Kathy, in Wuthering Heights, she's like mid-20s to early 30s.

44:24Okay. Because the movie kind of spans over like six years. Well, you've got the kids part. Oh, we should talk about Owen. We should. Did you? So I'm just wondering... Adolescence wasn't out when we spoke. Yeah, you must have been like, badder bing, like when adolescence happened. It's just bizarre because like so often people say like, oh, overnight sensation. And I've always been like, that's not the reality. No one's an overnight sensation. But it was an overnight sensation. Like no one knew him. We were working, you know. How did you find him? We were mixed with shooting. He was doing his thing, right?

44:57Because when he was in adolescence, so I nudged Alice and I said, oh, it's the boy from adolescence, isn't it? and this sounds terrible but I was surprised because I wondered if that was all he could do and so that was the most uplifting thing because he was so good so good so and Charlotte who plays the young Kathy she was in the West End production of Matilda not as Matilda but she's they're both so brilliant and honestly the movie wouldn't work if they weren't as good as they are it makes you feel so connected with him and emotional about him and his love for Kathy from such an early age. Can we talk about Martin Clunes as well?

45:39Martin Clunes! No one in America seems to know Martin Clunes and everyone, I'm hoping everyone is going to be like, hi. He was astonishingly good. Exceptional. He is my dear old papa and also just the best man. Like I just love him. Have you ever met him? No. We've never had him on this. We should. But he is a I love Mr. Linton. Oh, my God. He feels so sad. I know. And he's got a tough role because, like... He's not the most exciting character. He's the solid, kind one. He's so kind. It's funny. I had a bachelorette for Kathy. I didn't have it. My friends threw a bachelorette for Kathy, the character, which sounds ridiculous, I know, but it was really fun.

46:23Did you have Willie's straws? We had all the things you'd see at a bachelorette, yeah. Do you have a stripper? Did Jacob come and be a stripper? That would have been fab. No, Jessie. Jacob did not come as a stripper, but we did have strippers. Hey! And they were amazing. How fab did they? What theme was it? They did classic magic magic. Classic. Love that. Darling, I'm thinking of my 75th. Oh, yeah, Lenny. You may not make it to your 76th. You know what? If they'd themed it, it wouldn't have been as sexy. It would have been funny. but like I remember on my real hen do back when I was getting married back in the day I love Harry Potter and my friends got a stripper and made him do Harry Potter.

47:08Oh my god, that sounds a bit weird. That's a whole fold of wrong. It was so funny and not sexy and like this guy's like in a robe with the glasses and the scar and he's like you know all the innuendo that you can imagine and it was very very funny but But, I mean, we were all so drunk it really didn't matter, to be honest. But, yeah. No, when they did the classic Magic Mike performance, it was like, wow, that's impressive. I want to go to one of your parties. I mean, we all know about this 24-hour, 24th birthday party. Oh, my 24-hour party. We ended at Mosquito Bar that I mentioned earlier. Of course.

47:42Because where else do you go at that hour? Have you ever tried to do one? How old are you now? I'm 35. Have you ever tried to do a 36-hour one? God, I'd love the challenge. would be quite taxing. I would like to know if I could do that. 75 hour party. No nap. You'd need a lot of drugs, Lenny. So many drugs would be required. No, I did my 24 hour party with no drugs. I was drunk, obviously. Just booze. And what, like snacks? I guess so. I don't remember the snacks. Chips. I think we stopped at Five Guys at some point to get a burger, a bit of stamina. I wanted to know, you know, you're a producer, you're acting in this.

48:18is it ever hard to be all wear all of those hats when you're are there any kind of limits where you're like you know what I need to focus on being Kathy right now I can't think about like the DOP and like this or is it always is it all kind of all-encompassing all the time or do you have to be strict with how you share your time I don't find it hard to compartmentalize but I'm conscious that the director needs to see me as their actor you don't yeah i don't think as a director you want your actor who's you want your actor completely thinking about their character not about overtime and swapping locations and penalty payments well joe's my my producing partner josie is the lead producer in all of emerald's films so tom wasn't on set for most of this film um but yeah josie's running the ship i don't need to be running the ship and we kind of orchestrate things so that I can step back about two weeks before the shoot and I I keep in like I'm conscious of everything that's happening and I check in like in lunch break and after work and all that kind of stuff cost reports and blah blah all that stuff but no decision is going to be held up because I'm on set for example like everything's going to keep moving without you know without me being like yes I agree or don't agree or whatever like that when you did I Tonya did you train i did a lot of training but i couldn't start training until i'd finished i did a film called goodbye christopher robin right beforehand and when you're contracted to a film you sign a contract saying i won't partake in any dangerous dangerous activities or activities that could get me injured and it becomes a whole insurance thing so i had to keep waiting until i as soon as i wrapped then i was like five days ago skated before not really that's where i'm from yeah yeah Well, her balance is probably good.

50:09But I did a lot of rollerblading as a kid. I'm a kid of the 90s, so lots of rollerblading. I think that helped. I did a bit of ice skating when I got to America. I have a really burning question I've been dying to ask you. Please explain a prime mortgage. Listen, do you have a bathtub I can jump in? How to short loans I can get really... No, I mean, those lines were as much gibberish to me. I remember trying to make sense of it all. I was like, I don't know what I'm talking about. Because I still didn't understand. No, me neither. Good. Okay. Charles Randolph, who wrote that script, is an exceptionally bright man.

50:44And as much as I was like, Charles, explain it to me one more time. I was like, you know what? I'm just going to say the lines and you tell me if it's reading right. Okay. When are you going to direct? Because it feels like the next step. I don't know. I really want to. I really, really want to. Producing, to be honest, producing takes up all of my time. It's not acting that takes up my time. Acting takes up a chunk of time. but then you're like I'm done with the job producing is 24 7 every day of the year it doesn't stop and it hasn't you know we've been running the company for 11 years now so it's like for the last 11 years I've never not been actively producing so good for you no I know it's been great it's been great but it's um yeah I need I need to figure out how to step away from that more so that I can make space for trying to do you think you'd be able to do like a yentl a barbara where you like produce oh my gosh direct and stuff no i would never i don't know how i've spoken to a lot of like actor directors and been like how do you do both it just sounds inefficient like to do a take and then go back to the monitors watch the take yeah make the adjustments and go back instead of you're thinking about time finishing i'm like yeah just you got to keep you got to jump straight back into it so i don't know how i could do it and not be like this is not efficient I don't like a not efficient set I like I need a set to be like just because I mean one a silly thing to do but once you know your day cost you divide that by the minute if you sometimes I think I'm like if actors only knew like when an actor takes more than two minutes to come surf an actor makes you wait for 20 minutes I'm like you just wasted 60 grand okay so for dessert I've made a Middle Eastern eaten mess oh because I think Australians like meringue.

52:29Yeah, we have pavlova. We pretend it's Australian. It's actually not Australian. But we embrace it. Like, are you joking? Absolutely. What makes it Middle Eastern? It's got pomegranate. Yes. Pomegranate molasses. And sumac. Oh my gosh. This is incredible. Do you always eat like this? Well, we do for the pod. For the pod. But mum has always been a really cute, like, she's always made the left. Oh my gosh. Yeah. I like the pomegranate. Mmm, it's really nice. It's like a Turkish July eaten mess. Oh, it's so good. So, Last Supper. Margot Robbie, let's go. It's funny, I always ask this meal. I call it death row meal, but Last Supper is nicer.

53:15It changes often. But today, if I had to have my Last Supper today, I've got a banging cheese board to start. Of course, fries is. I know, it's not religious in the country. in this country but for us that is part of the course with what says things in it not not no not not some bolts no not not a bogan cheese board i would go like full european cheese board i want like the triple cream brie i want quince paste i want some like good crackers i want a blue cheese of course i want a cheddar in there as well a gruyere or something fancy and like a really good white burgundy with that no white burgundy just a love of white burgundy main I'm thinking I'm tempted to go with my husband's spag bol or I'm going to go full Christmas dinner like all the things well Aussie Christmas dinner so is that a barbie on the deck well you do often have prawns but the main meal is ham So a ham at Christmas time is integral.

54:22There is no Australian Christmas lunch or dinner. Turkey, it's like, sure, maybe if it's there. But you're not really thinking about the turkey. You're thinking about the ham. And the ham is cold. It's a cold ham? No. The funny thing is it's actually a cooked ham, smoked ham, but then you put it in the oven essentially just to heat it up and then you serve it hot with cranberry jelly. but to tell you a little segue side story for a second here hit me i never realized it was a pre-cooked ham i always thought when i was putting it in the oven when whoever was putting the oven for like you know three hours ish that that was cooking the ham no that's just heating the ham and it's a big piece of meat to heat um so my first christmas over here in england with tom's family his whole family i was like i'll do the ham everyone oh i've got it and everyone's like oh okay right anyways so i went to the butcher and i was like can i get a leg of ham please and he's like what do you mean and i was like a leg of ham and he's like like gammon and i was like sure gammon sure gammon means pork means ham yeah sure gammon so he gives me a giant like 12 pound thing of gammon and i was like all right so i take this i you know go to christmas with his entire family that really is and we're at here we're at his brother's house so the they've hired and they rented an oven and put it in the shed out the back because there's not enough space obviously the you know kitchen's tiny and the oven was tiny and so i was like where can i put this this ham this gammon out in the shed i was like all right righto and i was like i only need three hours i got there three hours early put it in the shed put it in the oven took it out after three hours we all sat down for three hours for a ham a completely raw piece of gammon it's probably another at least three times it's not cooked at all raw just a raw piece of pig essentially did your husband not get involved as somebody who likes to smoke his meat no he wasn't i don't know he wasn't really it was i think he was just letting me have this moment is that you do you hun and then i we all sat down and okay i remember watching his grandma a piece of raw pig essentially going towards her mouth.

56:31And I'm like, smack the fork. I was like, no. And I'm like, smack the fork. It looked like raw meat. I know. I was like, I'm back to kill Granny Miller. Smack the fork of her hand. I was like, no one eat that. I'll be back. And I was like, shit, shit, shit. Put it back in the oven. I was like, oh, I don't know. Anyways, Christmas dinner went on. It was fine. We had other things to eat. But like. And we forgot about the gammon. Oh. And we all got drunk. Yeah. Because, you know, it's England. And then it was perfect. And then at midnight, we're off our tits and suddenly we're like, it smells like something's on fire.

1:00:17Oh, my God. Shut up. She's royalty. Royalty. Was she nice? Unbelievable. So kind, so amazing. Also, like First Wives Club is very important to me as a film. So I was like, I can't believe this is happening. And, you know, hocus pocus and everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I was telling her about Gavin and Stacey. She was kind of like being like, what should I look? And I was like, honestly, Gavin and Stacey is like one of the best things ever. Did she watch it? Do we know? I sent her the whole DVD package afterwards. And she was like, wrote me an email being like, don't worry. I already started watching it after I heard you talk about it.

1:00:50And I was like, I'll watch the rest on the DVDs now. But I, yeah. She's very sweet. You should have her on. She's on my top three. It's her, Larry David and Barbara Streisand. So, yeah. Great list. Thank you. I hope that happens. Yeah, thank you. Okay, so how are we finishing off this meal? Oh, okay. Have you got a sweet tooth? Do you like ice cream? Lenny you read my mind I was literally about to say I'm an ice cream fiend I eat so much ice cream flavour who are you eating? it was the only thing my mum could really threaten me with violence wouldn't work on me but if she threatened me to not have ice cream I'd be like I'm your slave I'll do whatever I need there is a place in America called Salt and Straw did you have the sea salt caramel ice cream?

When you're, as you say it, off your tits, do you sing karaoke? Oh, I love a bit of karaoke. Okay, I do too, but she hates it. Do you know, I used to... I don't like it if I'm not with friends. Like I wouldn't do karaoke if there's like people there that I don't know.

1:02:13Like I'm not going to get out and get up and belt it out in front of strangers. So which song? Share, Believe. Oh, that's just on the note. Is it? And I have the auto tune on. I do a bit of share. I do the share. I'm like, I get into the thing. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah. I was about to jump in and make the mistake of actually reenacting. No, no, no. I thought myself just in the nick of time. It's a very euphoric song. and you don't realise it until you're in that first chorus and then everyone's singing it and then they feel so good. It's incredible. And everyone feels inclined to jump in. Yeah, it's a stunning, stunning song.

1:02:50Margot Robbie, thank you so much for doing this. You are so busy. You are so fabulous. Never too busy for this. This was absolutely amazing. You are so sweet. And such a good meal.

1:03:30Margot Robbie may be even better than I could have possibly imagined that she could be. She's just one of the nicest people. Just a superstar. I was, like, desperate for her to ask for my number. It didn't happen. Jessica. And I believe that we'll hang out sometime in the future. Do you? Loved her. I want to be her best friend. I want to go surfing with her in Sri Lanka and make friends with Papa Salt. But you want to be one of the bachelorettes. I want it all. I want to go and have a Chinese with her. Yeah, she's good fun.
