Adria Arjona: Blood, Bangs & Badassery

The following podcast is a Dear Media production. Welcome back to the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast. I'm your host, Amanda Hirsch, and I still can't believe that I get to chat with some of my favorite stars on my very own podcast, where you'll feel like you're just talking shit with your best friends in your living room. Hey guys, welcome to a new episode of Not Skinny But Not Fat. It's your girl, Amanda. Today's guest, I mean that she, to me, is the most beautiful human on the planet at the moment. Like I thought it before, and then she came in and I was like, yep. And everyone in the room had to pick my jaw up off the floor because I was like, okay, that's perfection personified. You know her from Andor, Hitman, Blink Twice, and now her new A24 movie, Onslaught, which I watched, and she's total badass. Be prepared. It's a slasher. She's also an amazing actress. She grew up all around the world, and she's just gorgeous. Cool. Down to earth. Drives a truck. Okay. She's that girl. And I loved getting to know her. Here is Adria Arjona. She said that I say her name really well. Do you live in LA now? I kind of live in New Zealand. I'm a resident in New Zealand. Oh, wow. Okay. New Zealand and LA. What's more, you? I think New Zealand. Really? Because it's more like outdoorsy. Yeah. And more adventurous. Yeah. I get tired of it. Because I was trying to picture you in LA with all the places that you grew up. Right? And I was like, would she like LA? I like my house. Yeah. Like I usually, if I'm in LA, I don't leave my house. So where do you go that you like? I mean. Chateau. Because it's three minutes away from my house. Oh, so you are. So you're in that area. I'm in the hill. Oh, I like that. Yeah. That's what I like. Because I took an Airbnb in the hills and I was like, okay, this is the life. It's the life. Because you see the view, right? Right. And then you're like, I'm in the city, but I'm not really in the city. Like I get deer in my house. There's coyotes. Yeah. They're not mine, but they just come and visit. I have a bunch of birds. I have three birds right now. I have three little nests at my house right now. So it's cute. It makes me feel like I'm not necessarily. A little bit like in nature vibes. In nature, yeah. And I have to be in nature. That's true. The minute it's like the view changes really everything. Everything. I agree. Like I lived in New York for like five years and I love New York because it's social and you never want to be inside and you make friends kind of everywhere you go. There's always a plan. There's always something to do. And if there isn't, you just like walk and all of a sudden you're doing something fun. Right. But nature, I got. But nature. Yeah. I was like, I can't. I feel like I'm in a concrete jungle. And I already have that like go, go, go mentality. Yeah. That New York was like amplifying that. I was like, I'm going to have a heart attack. Like I need to go somewhere. It was giving you anxiety. It was giving me anxiety big time. Where did you live when you were here? What area? 24th and Lexington and like a shoebox. Right. Wait, so close to where we are now. Where are we now? We're just going to a car. You're like, I don't know where I am. A car you don't know. We're in Flatiron right now. We're in literally 24th. 25th and. So do you know where you are? Don't you work here? I also put it in the Uber address. Okay. But yeah, it's Flatiron. So yeah, you're in the hood that you were. Okay. That's a good area for just moving to New York. Well, I had an apartment in the, in downtown. Got kicked out in the middle of the night one day. I was paying like nothing. I was paying like $500 a month of rent or something, which I already thought. I was like, this is too good to be true. And I, I was woken up in the middle of the night from the owner because, because I wasn't allowed to be there. It was like a weird realtor, realtor, realtor. How do you say that? Realtor? You said it so good. Okay. Realtor. Rented me this apartment. She was a friend of the owner's, but never told the owner. And he came back from like holiday three weeks later and I was sleeping in his house and his house was completely renovated. Like he had all my stuff. I like bought candles. I bought blankets. I bought like. Was it a one bedroom? It was a one bedroom. So who woke you up? This man. Because he had the key and he was like, what the fuck are you doing here? Get out. He's like married, has kids. He's like, I don't, this looks bad. And I was like, oh shit. I'm so sorry. I freaked out. He was so nice. He had daughters. So he like understood my situation, but also was like, I'm going to go downstairs in the lobby. You got to pack up and get the fuck out of here. And he like called his wife. I'm freaking out. And I stayed in a hotel for like a couple of nights. Stop. But I had no money. Wait, you were how old when you moved to New York? 18 or 19. I was a baby. And you were by yourself? I was by myself. Living in an apartment by yourself at 18? Mm-hmm. Sounds so scary. It was terrifying. Terrifying. But also so fun. I've always been a little bit independent. So like felt, I don't know. I felt, I felt good. Like I'm doing this thing. I'm doing this thing. I'm like, I'm doing it on my own. I'm here. I'm hustling. And it allowed me kind of to focus. I grew up really taking care of my mom and my brother. So I always had like a priority. Mom, brother, mom, brother, mom, brother. Your brother is younger. My brother is younger. And when I moved to New York, it was just me. I was like, oh my God. I just, all I have to do now is just take care of myself. Why were you the one taking care of your mom and your brother? My mom, actually I've never said this. My mom's, I think, 14 years sober. Oh. Yeah. Great. Yeah. So there was a lot of taking care. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you grew up fast. Had to grow up fast. Had to grow up fast. Okay. So by 18, you were like, I can do this because I've. Yeah. I'm like, I've been doing this. Oh, you've been doing this. You've been doing this. Yeah. I'm like, I got this. Did they come out and visit you? Yes. Yeah. They came all the time. My brother came. My mom came. My dad would come all the time to just like check things out. Funny enough, my dad, every time he came over, he would always open the fridge. It's the first thing. To see if you were like. What was I eating? He was like very, it's very Latin American to be like, are you. Are you eating? And were you? I mean, what I had was like savage. It was like tuna cans. You weren't cooking. Tuna cans in the fridge, by the way. Which is crazy. Like open tuna cans? It's like not, it was not healthy. Yeah. I had like a bunch of cereal, some eggs that I never cooked. Do you cook now? Not really. Not really. You can't listen. This is what I say. Can't be perfect. You know, I, I came from a family of none, none of the women in my family cook, which is crazy. Really? No, my mom doesn't cook. My two grandmothers didn't cook, but all the men cook. Love it. So I was like, okay, I think we're. So your dad, your, your music star dad cooked or not him? Yeah, he cooks. He does. Cooks the meanest crepes in the world. And you never got the, the, the itch to learn. I mean, I can cook. I'm going to survive. You know, I, I, I cook, I just cook really healthy and no one really likes to eat my food. I cooked chicken soup once and it literally, my boyfriend was like, this tastes like chicken sweat. Like it doesn't taste like anything. Did you think it tasted good? No. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was horrible. It was like drinking water that slightly tasted like chicken. That's the problem with cooking healthy. Yeah. It's not going to be good. I'll get like, um, uh, because you're into eating healthy. Do you get that on your for you page? Just like healthy meals you can make? I don't know. I get burnt. I don't like eating healthy. Oh, okay. No. I mean, I do eat when I'm working. I have to, cause I just find like my food is fuel and then I don't want to get puffy and all that boring stuff. I heard you saying a thing. No. You're saying puffy now, but I, I saw a video you did for like one of those thing where you do your makeup on the thing and you said poofy and I really related to that cause I feel like I say poofy too. I say poofy too. But you said puffy now. I know because I'm learning. I'm articulating. Sorry. I'm articulating my words now through this press junket. I felt so, no, don't. Well, you have, you like to have people correct you. Yeah. I do like people correcting me cause I make up some gnarly shit. I'm like, and I go for it. Because you're bilingual. I'm bilingual. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Spanish is my first language. I think in Spanish, I sometimes find myself translating when I'm speaking English. So people just look at me like, she's a little slow, but I'm just like, what's the word? What's the word? What's the word? Oh yeah. Here you go. And probably there are a lot of words that we don't have that you wish we had. Yeah. And also English words sometimes are very confusing. It's like two similar things, but mean different things. Right. Yeah. And we don't have any like good loving words, I feel. Do you know what I mean? I love you. And everybody says, I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Or like babe. What else do we have? Like mi amor. Mi amor. Mi corazon. Mi vida. I'm not going to be like my life. That's weird. Why don't we have my life? My life. My heart. Like. Right. It gets corny really fast. In English. Yeah. And Spanish is not. Spanish is in a romantic language. It's quite dry. And Spanish is. Yeah. You know, I was just listening to this comedian who is from the Dominican Republic. Marcelo. I love him. Yes, I know him. And he was saying, I wonder if you agree with this, because he was saying that he thinks it's so funny to be a kid who speaks Spanish because it like sounds proper. And he's like, you don't say like my tongue. He's like, we don't have a word for tummy. He's like, we have to say like my stomach is in pain. Yeah. He's like, you have to say like my stomach is in pain. That is so true. I mean, mi pancita. Mi panza. But I guess it depends. because I grew up all over. And like in Guatemala, there's certain words. In Cuba, where Marcelo's from, he's half Cuban, half Dominican, right? Right. He has Cuban in his family. Maybe. Well, either way, like Cuban or Dominican, there's different words. Puerto Rico has different words. So even between us, we don't even understand ourselves. Right. I'm like, I don't know. Zafacon. And they're like, Zafacon. That was a Zafacon. And it's a garbage can. And they're like, okay. And that's a Puerto Rican thing? Very Puerto Rican thing. Very Puerto Rican. So you were born in Puerto Rico. Mm-hmm. Moved to Mexico City. Then to Miami. Yeah. And then Guatemala, you just have. Guatemala is, yeah, I would go for Christmas and summer break. And I would go like twice or three times. Who's Guatemalan in your family? My dad. Your dad is the Guatemalan. Yeah. I'm as Latina as they come. You're as Latina as they come. So what are you most connected to? It's a question that I get asked all the time. I love. It's so different. Like you say I'm Puerto Rican? Yeah, I'll say I'm Puerto Rican. Yeah. Yeah. I was born there. Yeah. So obviously I'm like, yeah, I'm Puerto Rican. But I usually follow that up with I'm also half Guatemalan. Yeah. Because I'm also really attached to my Guatemalan roots. Yeah. And when I think when you grow up on the road, you don't really have like an anchor. Because I'm also. I grew up in Mexico and I have so much of me comes from Mexican culture. And you're just like a little bit of everything. It's a mutt. And it's really confusing. And when I was little, it was like just. I just felt like a little displaced. I was like, I'm Puerto Rican, but I say no mames. And they're like, why? What's no mames? No mames is like, are you kidding? And it's a very Mexican term. Okay. So when I speak Spanish, people are like. You say that like you're kidding. Like that. Yeah. Like no mames. No mames. No mames. Oh, you say it good. Do you know it, Regina? She's Mexican. Yeah. So imagine a Puerto Rican going no mames. Like they wouldn't say that. They're like, that's crazy. Or a la gran puchica. And I go to Puerto Rico, they're like, what? What do you. Say puñeta. I'm like, well, a la gran puchica is so Guatemalan. What does that mean? A la gran puchica is like, oh, my God. Wait. Wait. Aren la puchica? A la gran puchica. A la gran? Yeah. Oh, like big. Yeah. A la gran puchica. Puchica. Or you could just say puchica or a la gran. I love Spanish. You should learn. You have a good accent. By the way, it's so weird. I didn't even realize we were starting. Until I saw that red button. Wait, no, I'm obsessed. No, were you in your mind like, is she ever going to. Is she ever going to say like action or whatever? I'm an actress. I need an action. Director in here. Hello. Okay, so, yeah, we started. Oh, cool. But I'll do the intro later. Oh, God. Yeah, I don't like in front of your face to be like, actress. You know what I mean? That's fine. Plus, I want to say your name really like, Adriana Jona. Yes, that was good. I did a good. Best one of the day so far. Really? God, my name gets butchered so much. What do they say? Adriana, Adria, Abigail. Abigail, I've gotten. Or Gionia. Is it short for anything, Adria? Adria? No, they left me short. They left you short. Is it a common name in Puerto Rico? I've met like maybe two in my life. So, Adria annoys you or no? Yeah. Okay. You want. Because what's the problem? Just say, ah, right? Yeah, just go like, Adria. You say, Aubrey, right? Like, why can't you just go, Adria? By the way, you have no accent. Really? Did you work. Like, you've been working. I've been working. I've been working. I also think like, pressers, because you speak English all the time. If you hear me in the morning, or right before bed. When you're still poofy. I'm poofy. I don't want to go to sleep. Like, I start talking like this. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's like where I feel really. Comfortable. Comfortable. Yeah. It's. I have a pretty heavy accent. What, did you work with like a coach? No, I heard a lot of. Like, I watched Friends, The Office. I just had that, like, kind of. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was kind of on repeat. So. Okay. They were too expensive. The coaches? But also, why? Like, who's saying that you need not have an accent? Well, when I first started, yeah. It was like, you're too Latina enough. And then now it's like, you're not Latina enough? What did you do with your accent? Do your accent. And I'm like, oh, yeah, you just can't get it right. Like, I had a director tell me, that was amazing. Do that again. Less accent. Less domesticated. How do you do that? How do you guys do this? So, be less Latina. Is that what you. I'm like, I was so confused by that. But yeah, that happened. What did you do in that moment? Something very different than I think I would do today. I would just tell him, what, to be less Latina? Fuck off. That would be my response right now. You would today. Yeah. I'd be like, to be less me? To be less Latina? No. You should have hired somebody else. Yeah. That's not my problem. It feels like a you problem. But no, I was like, okay, yeah, for sure. But other people heard it and it did become a thing. Yeah, they reprimanded him. They reprimanded him for being mean. It is wild the things that actors go through on their, when they're coming up, right? Like the things you're kind of willing to take and because you want it so bad. Yeah. And also you don't really, you're, more than anything, it's like you just feel so lucky to be there. That you're like anybody, they engrave this in your head. There's like, not that anybody says it, but they do make you feel it. Where it's like, anybody would die for this job. Oh, like Devil Wears Prada. Yeah. And you're just like, yeah, absolutely. I'll, you know, I'll, I'll shut up. When, when did you know you wanted to do this growing up? I don't know. There's like a definitive moment. I speak to a lot of actors and everybody has like their one moment. And I, I don't. You don't? I don't. No, I, I, after being on tour with my dad, I moved to Miami and I just felt like kind of out of place. It wasn't my place. It wasn't my vibe. I didn't love it. I couldn't find myself on tour. It was all about like arts. And we would, my dad loves photography and there was a lot of music. And then all of a sudden I'm, you know, in a private school in Miami and it just, I was like, whoa, this is such a culture shock. But then my dad was like, I think you're sort of losing yourself. I started kind of talking inward. Like I just got really shy. And he's like, go back to photography, take a piano lesson, get back into dance. And I did. I've been dancing my whole life. And then the last one was, you know, why don't you act and, you know, maybe learn how to speak up or whatever. And I did. And I got the bug. I fell madly in love with it. I was like, I can be anything I want. It just was fascinating to me. And I, yeah, I started acting. Like during high school years. During high school. Yeah. And then you finished high school and you knew you wanted to move to New York and try to try to do it. I had my acting teacher in New York. In New York, in Miami. I went to Miami Acting Studio, which I don't know if it's still around. And he kicked me out. What'd he say? He was like, I think you're too good. You're going to end up in soaps here. And I think you're, you're better. You can, there's a, there's a different future that I see for you. And he enrolled me in Lee Strasberg. Well, he signed me up for the auditioning process for Lee Strasberg. And then I went, yeah, I did the audition. And I was in New York maybe eight months. Maybe a year later. So you started Lee Strasberg. And then how do you, because that's an acting school, like do they come see, do agents come see you? Or like, how does it work? Do they send you on auditions? Well, no, you're not allowed to work or audition when you're at Strasberg because you're like in the process. You can't necessarily represent the school. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And so I was doing like a million jobs, did every single job you can think of. And then when I go graduate, they're like, so invite your parents, your mom, your brother, everybody. There's. There's tickets, there's $10 tickets or whatever it was at the time. And I was like, I just spent two and a half years working my ass off at the school. And you want, I'm, you know, 20 something. I'm like 20 or 21. I'm like, I'm not a kid. I'm not a clown for like mommy and daddy to come watch perform. I'm like, I want to work. You're like, this is my kindergarten. Kindergarten. I'm like, what is my mom going to do? But I was so good. I'm like, so I hired a publicist here in New York. I like Googled. That's expensive. So expensive. Yeah. So I asked, we were like, I don't know how many kids or how many kids, 21 kids we were. And I asked everybody, I'm like, give me 30 bucks. Give me 30 bucks. Give me 30 bucks. Give me 30 bucks. I want your headshot, your resume, everything. And if you have like a little CD or something that I can put in the envelope and everybody paid 30 bucks. And at the end of it, I had enough money to pay the publicist. So she invited agents and managers and a lot of people got agents from that. Because of you? Yeah, from that. Because you were like, everyone pitch in. I'm going to have this woman bring in people to watch us. Yes. And that was you doing, not the school. Yes, not the school. I think the school maybe uses this publicist now, if I'm not mistaken. What? Yes. Were you always like a hustler like this? I've always been a hustler. Always been. Once a hustler, always a hustler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Wait, that's crazy. I was like, what am I going to do? I'm like, I need to work. I need to get out of this tiny apartment I'm sick and tired of being a waitress and doing events and carrying, you know, adorbs, adorbs, or however you say that. Oh, derbs. Of derbs. Did I say?

heard that actors are short someone someone told me that in acting school they're like you know that all the leading men are really short you're like too tall and I was like okay so then okay I'm five five and then I'll be like oh wait this is making more sense to me you lied that you were shorter because if you're taller than the leading man yeah okay then they wouldn't hire me I thought you just thought actors are short so you have to be short that's actually funnier that's what I thought that people were like you know all actors are short and you're like okay yeah then I have to be short then I have to be short wait so you don't know what you actually are yeah I'm like five seven five eight yeah and there are shorties out there there are a lot of shorties out there yeah and that are lying also about being taller is that true that's very true yeah yes it is crazy how that works maybe it's like a personality thing that like because they're short they're like larger than life isn't that like the what is it Napoleon it could be that Napoleon syndrome is it Napoleon perspective complex complex complex but you're tall for Hollywood is what you're saying no I don't think I'm like normal like how tall are you I'm five five allegedly yeah five five that's what I say sure that's my height yeah um and then you got huge things I don't know how how long after like Andor was a long a long time yeah it was a long time so what was that like your first like big big role that that you felt was like yeah I think so I mean I feel like at that time every role felt right huge yes every audition felt so big and they still do every movie that I do still feels like I get giddy about it yeah I'm like oh my God this is amazing this I can't even believe I'm still doing it right but back then everything was huge like Emerald City I'm like oh my God Emerald City it's huge yeah I get to be the lead of a show and then Belko experiment same thing and I just kept getting bigger meaning in like production value or bigger directors or bigger yeah actors but yeah I think I think Andor was like until today it's been I think my biggest job it's like that you the Star Wars universe Tony Gilroy are you and don't say yes now just because you were in it were you a Star Wars girly I was for real I was I really like Star Wars my dad really liked Star Wars too yeah really yeah and you have a brother I guess so maybe yeah I have two brothers oh you have two brothers so you watched all the Star War movies not all of them okay and Tony was like have you watched them and I was like nope and he was like okay but you don't have to watch all of the Star Wars to really be in and yeah I understand and or so he's like that's fine don't worry about it but yeah yeah I love the universe I love the world and I had never really seen myself in that world meaning like there was no one that looked like me that was in that world so it became a dream really early on I was like oh man imagine if I was in Star Wars and like my family in Guatemala see Star Wars and they're like oh there's a Latina in there that's so cool yeah and now we're a couple which is so it's amazing with Diego Luna yeah Diego Rosario Dawson oh yeah yeah she's in it did you guys speak Spanish on set yeah yeah we had like a secret language we're like Diego or when I didn't understand because it's Star Wars language I'm like what the hell does this mean and he's like oh it means this and this and this and he would sort of help me out or when we were because he also I think translates when he acts we would kind of decipher the scene between us quietly in Spanish and then obviously invite the director and we would switch because we don't want to be rude right yeah but also with Spanish I think it is hard because you never know who like took it in school you know it's like it's a little harder confident to gossip yeah yeah you can't gossip in Spanish it has to be another language it has to be like another language because I mean I guess you could if like maybe you were using all your slang your slangs that maybe people wouldn't know yeah but or you have to talk really really fast or talk really really fast I was a huge fan of Diego Luna so many good movies so many yeah it's that one he's so good and everything that he does he's like exceptional dad so it was exciting to work with him yeah and now my girl I know you're not going to walk out of this pod like you did when you were asked the question about I can't this mic is like I know but I know you have to keep a secret about working with so hard James Gunn again yes how stressful is that the secret keeping situation it's very stressful I mean I did it with Andor but it's about the show I like protected the ending of the show which is the show I mean for those of you that have watched Andor it's like the end the last sequence it's me so I had to protect that and but it didn't it was the ending of the show that I was protecting not like what my character is and yeah it feels a little bit more personal like people are coming at me people are I mean there have been AI generated images it's I mean I think the buzz is obviously go it's a positive buzz yeah but it's just how long will you have to do this it says 2027 for when a man tomorrow yeah yeah yeah I think it'll be in the summer or I don't know when it I don't know if they have a specific release date but I'm sure that'll be next year yeah if they just wrap now say a year from now yeah so yeah like a year usually takes like a year year and a half maybe I don't know you're a DC girly now I'm a DC girly now your partner is a DC mansy because I saw Supergirl yeah he's a double duty because she was here Millie Millie was here yes yeah so you're a DC fam mm-hmm that's a whole thing yep that I can confirm what you're like I think I think I think I'm okay is the universe of like because I mean now it's like Star Wars universe and now this is like DC universe two fandom crazy fandoms these universes have yeah which one is like feels more hardcore I'm feeling it more from I think the DC because you're like it's already happening yeah it's like with Andor I didn't necessarily feel it you know when we would go to a convention or comic or whatever that yeah you could feel that love and that passion and online you definitely feel it but it's all like love and it's all you know Star Wars fans are like you know appreciative DC fans are like you gotta tell us I think it's because the DC fans are awaiting a response yes that I can feel it a lot yeah but they're the best I mean I hear from Jason and I hear from so many of them that DC fans are the best so that's exciting yeah to get into that world yeah super exciting and also I think it's exciting that like all of the the chatter and the everything that's going on has been so positive yeah you know what I mean all of it's been really positive so it's more me just trying to keep my job I just want to keep my job I just want to stay in the DC right so I gotta shut up I gotta I can't it up um okay so I have to tell you my favorite I I want to say favorite movie of yours was hit man I loved it so much thank you I thought it was incredible I can't believe I looked up it was like 2023. I was just like what I feel like I've watched that like recently I know time is flying it's crazy so if you guys haven't seen that go find it streaming because I thought you were so good in it and you and Glenn it's with Glenn Powell and you had such a good you had such good chemistry and you were funny in it and gorgeous in it thank you and it was so fun I love that movie we had a really good time filming it too because you do like the the the types of the type of work that you do is so kind of different all around it's like Onslaught you're like shooting people up you know then you got like and you're like I don't know what you're doing well I know I watch it we'll talk about it I don't want to give too much away but and then it was nice to see the like kind of romantic comedy with the twist vibe too uh-huh what do you like doing the most I don't know I think look I think horror and just genre movies have really given me an opportunity to play characters that I wouldn't be normally cast in or conventionally cast in so I have a lot to think about like sci-fi and and and horror but I also like don't want to get bored that's why I keep doing different things or like oh you're showing facets I'm like not what I'm doing I wish I was that smart and that strategic but I'm like I just if I just came from doing a comedy I'm like I'm not going to jump back into a comedy I'm like I need to put that to rest a little bit and what's going to call me is like an action movie like doing something else doing something else yeah because I get bored too and I want to challenge myself I think in every role to grow a little bit and have fun so I can't keep doing like the same well I definitely don't think you've been doing the same thing I think you've been doing because I don't want to get yeah you've been doing so many different things and everything like sits so perfectly on you okay so let's talk about Onslaught I watched it last night are you okay I'm okay okay I was prepared because I saw the trailer and I was like covered in blood great okay I wonder like if it starts like that like you Like, I wonder how and I like that there was sort of like, you know, it didn't start with it. That was I look, I think it was like the last 30 minutes, I would say. Yeah. Right. It's pure slasher. Right. Yeah. So last 30 minutes, pure slasher. But we get the lead in of like the story for the for the first, I guess, like hour. Right. Yeah. Ninety something minute. Yeah. I thought it was so good and so fun and so entertaining. And you are just like amazing. Tell me about filming that. Aside from being covered in blood, you were screaming a lot. I was thinking about that for you, too. Yeah. There's a lot of screaming in this movie. How is your. It's better now. It's better. Yeah. I went through it, though. It was it was it was rough there for a second. I mean, it was so cold when I say it was freezing. I mean. I mean, we were free equipment was being it was freezing. You were in a tank. I know. And a little pajama. I was wearing nothing. I mean, I had little thermals and stuff. And then on top of that, they were at a bunch of blood, which, by the way, I found out five days ago that it was K.Y. Jelly. No one told me it was literally blood and K.Y. Jelly. And Adam tells me this five days ago. I was like, I don't know why jelly mixed with like the the blood, the red or the dye or whatever, because the consistent. He wanted that like Tarantino blood, which is a very specific red. And then when you splash it, if it's too liquid, it drops and the camera kind of can't catch it. So he wanted it to have a thicker consistency. So when there's like a big splash of blood, the camera really can capture it. And it just makes things look a little bit cooler on camera. That scene, I don't want to give it away, but like there is a what's it called? A chainsaw. A chainsaw. A chainsaw. Fucking badass. That scene was crazy. And I remember because I watched it with captions. Do you watch it with captions? Do you ever watch with captions? I don't. That's so helpful. It's so helpful. Yeah. On a plane, I do. If I don't have a good surround system. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Definitely a subtitle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I was watching with subtitles and then the chainsaw scene, the subtitles said literally like, oh, my God, I wish I screen shot it. Like body parts gushing. No. And like slushing around or something because you literally hear like, you hear like not only the chainsaw. But what's happening. But what's happening inside. Yeah. Fucking badass. And you're like Sylvester Stallone with that like. You're the only one that's I've been waiting for someone to say Rambo. Oh. No one. How has no one. Yes. Duh. Right. Yes. I was like, that's all I was going for. And they're like Sarah Connor, which, by the way, she was like. My biggest inspo. My North Star. Love that woman. I think she's the coolest woman in the world. And I tried, you know, to emulate Sarah Connor. You also had Rambo. I was like, I guess because Rambo just has like the headband. Right. I was like, I don't know. I was like very. But that was definitely your female Rambo moment. So what was what was that like? Like the those scenes with the chainsaw and the guns and the badassery. So fun. I mean, I get. I get to be a badass. Yeah. Pretty cool. Yeah. It was so much fun. Aside from it being really cold. We tried. Give me a degree edge. In the negatives. Yeah. Yeah. Why? Just filming times. Times the budget where we were filming. Where was it? It was in Albuquerque in the middle of the desert. We build a trailer park called Windy Oasis. Not on purpose, but we I guess no one realized. We realized that there was actually nothing surrounding it. So it was so much wind. Oh, when does the worst. It was just like wind tunnels. Aside from that. It was so much fun. I did so much training. I learned so much. So much tactical training. What kind of training did you do? Tactical. What does that mean? Like clearing like clearing a room. Everything with like. Oh, like. And I don't like guns. I'm very scared of them. But through the training, I was like, oh, my God. Well, I live in a city. I live in a country that really likes guns. So if I can see one and disarm one, that that makes me feel a little bit safer. Yeah. Like having knowledge of something that you're scared of. It made me feel a little bit. OK, if it's ever I can grab a robber and disarm it. You know, it's like made me feel better. So in your training, it was real guns. But on the set. No, never real guns. Oh, OK. No, no, no. I know. I didn't want that. Also, Adam is really scared of guns. Oh, OK. He is. He doesn't like guns. He doesn't like blood. It's all. It's a. He made a movie of it. It's one of his biggest fears. Wow. He's a parent. So he's like, this is my biggest fear. Yes. I love that element of it. You have a daughter in the movie, by the way, that actress. She's so cute. She's so good. She's so good. So good. Mommy. Mommy. I know her little voice. Her little voice. What was it like acting with a with a little girl? Oh, I loved it. We had a really special bond. Blakey and I, we would have like Spanish mornings. We were like, I would teach her like. The Spanish words every day. And we would just talk. I would literally treat her like an adult and be like, all right, look, today is the sticky blood. This is the dry blood. Just want to make sure that you know what everything is. She's like, yeah, I know. I'm like, cool. She's like, I just don't like the sticky one. I'm like, I don't either. It's all over me and I don't either. Yeah. So she was really like professional. And it was funny because in the movie, she's the adult and I'm the kid. She's like, feels like. She has to take care of me, wash my dishes and stuff. And in real life, she's the adult and I'm the kid. She's like that. I'd be like goofing around. She's like, Adria. I'm like, sorry. Got it. Paying attention. Yes, ma'am. It was kind of like, like you had co-stars and people you were acting with. Yes. I love that man. A Reggie. Yeah. Amazing. He was so good. He's so good. He steals the movie in my eyes. It's so funny. He's so great. Which the movie is kind of has his funny moments. It has funny moments. Because you brought your humor into it, too. Yeah. I mean, Adam's pretty funny, too. So he like there was moments where he's like, all right, this is a place to lighten it up. Yeah. Something. So I said that the other day in an interview and they're like, funny, not funny. I'm like, there were moments. There were moments. I wasn't. And again, I watched the trailer and I was like, oh, my God, I'm going to be scared. Yeah. This is gonna be scary for me. And I didn't feel like, you know, the threat. No, there's like one jumpy moment, but not it's not. It's not scary. It's not like monsters. Right. Right. Right. You know. Right. And it's a very like alternate universe. Sci-fi, thrillery, horary where you're like, OK. Yeah. This probably won't happen to me. So I'm OK. Like if you can rationalize that for yourself. I also love the bangs. Thank you. Did you cut them or was it. No, no, no. It was a piece. It was a piece. It was a piece. Yeah. It was a clip on. It was a clip on piece the entire time. Yeah. No way. With the curly with my curly hair. My bangs. We'll be up to here. I'd have like a little mustache. I can't. It was so cute on you, though. Thank you. Did you keep the piece at least? I did. And I also kept my headband. I burned the OG one with Adam and then I kept the other one and I have my. You burned it as a like ceremony. Yes. I was like, burn this damn thing. I'm over it. It was disgusting. It was disgusting. It was covered in blood. I was just over it. My eyes really hurt towards the end. Like you get vertigo. Imagine covering your eye and doing stunts. You don't. You can't see. Yes. So I'm like. I'm like, I'm burn this shit. I'm done. I'm over this. How did it even stay in place the entire movie? You're with it the entire movie. We had like an eye patch that we would put in and then attach it to that and then sort of pin it in my hair. It was not going to move. Those are the things I think about when I'm watching it. Also, it's so hard to like take it on and off between takes. So in between takes, I was just like, great. You kept it on. Yeah, kind of. You're not going to start fucking around with it. Towards the end of the movie, I would just. But then the I didn't want to make people work. Yeah. No, I feel that the end of the movie ended with like vibes of could be a part. Oh, my God. I would love that. Love. But right. Like, yeah, totally did. Yeah. Wink, wink. A 24. We'll be right back after the break. So we all got really excited about Hilary Duff's comeback and her tour. I know I was huge. Lizzie McGraw. Our fan, huge Hilary Duff fan. I mean, I'm a millennial after all, but I have to say and not to objectify or reduce her to just her looks. But that body be banging. All of us were thinking it. She even said it. She said stronger, not smaller. And you could see it. You could see her rippedness. Okay. Just radiating off of her. Okay. And then I was like, okay, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? And she told us, which I felt so freaking happy about. Thank you for not gatekeeping. Hilary, she told us she uses ladder. You guys know, I've been really trying to work out ever since I had Lenny. But this has been my issue when I try to work out on my own. I'm here. Now what?

I was invited to a friend's house, her parents' house. So lovely there, by the way. And we're from the city. I'm like, damn Connecticut. Anyway, lovely pool, lovely pool. What do they call it? Pool house. Okay. With a fridge, with stocked beverages. I've never seen something so attractive in my whole life. If anything turned me on more than the pool, it's like the pool house that has a fridge. It's like, we get it. We're not going inside the real house. We're going inside the pool house. That's where we're going to get our drinks. We're going to eat the pizza or get the pizza from. Anyway, I opened the fridge. You know what they're, what they had there? They had Starbucks Frappuccino drinks, mocha flavor. Okay. That's what they had. And I was like, and I felt like, I felt like exactly what I tell you guys, which is like a taste of home. Like, Oh my, I can't believe you have this. How perfect, especially because I'm so used to drinking like an afternoon coffee and I'm there in this house in Connecticut. I'm not in the city. I don't know. Like, where there's, you know, somewhere to go buy coffee, right? Open that up and just take the fricking glass bottle. And I'm running around with Lenny with this in my hand can, can, you know, twist the cap back on, take the cap off, save it for later, put it back in the fridge. I'm like, no, like this is what I'm talking about. And this is what I've been telling you the whole time. It's where Starbucks Frappuccino drinks just are so delicious. You get your coffee kick, you get your sweet indulgent kick and you feel at home. You can find, bottled Starbucks Frappuccino drinks, wherever you buy your gas or groceries. And we're back. Also, I saw at the premiere, let's talk about it. You arrived on a monster truck. Was that your idea? No. Okay. No. Whose idea was it? Well, we were doing like press in San Diego and they had the monster truck and I was driving it and everybody drove it and I get out. And then Adam and Jeremy were like, I think you should drive the monster truck to the premiere. I'm like, I mean, I'm not mad at it. Yeah. Hell yeah. Wait, so you physically drove? No, no, no. Okay, okay. Then they were like, the city of LA doesn't feel like that safe because they're really hard to like start and stop because the wheel has to do like a full turn or something like that. So like, it's a little dangerous. You need a special license. And so I, they're like, but you're going to ride in the car. And then they were like, do not get out of the car. We will open the door for you. And I was like, okay. And then the driver started and I was like, I'm going to get out the window. And he's like, all right, just don't fucking fall. I'm like, all right, cool. And I just got out. And I could just see all the 824 people being like, get back in, get back in, please get in. I was like, that's not happening. Because that's a big, it's high. It's so high. You need a ladder to get up and down that car. Oh my God. Did you feel, did you feel extra? I saw an interview with Drew Starsky in the middle of an interview and he was like, hold on. Adria is arriving. Like he was, he had no idea. You were in your truck. Hold on. What is happening? Your scene together. Was that fun to do in the movie? So fun. So fun. He came in like towards the end. So obviously I'm exhausted and stuff. And he's like, hi, how are you? And he's just being so sweet, which was the right energy. I was like, thank you so much. This feels so fresh. Like you were coming in with like brand new energy. Yeah. We did the scene and he's so good. He was very good. He's so good. He's really good in the movie. He was very good in the movie. Very like surprise. If you're a fan of his and other things, you'll be. Like surprise. Yeah. Very different. Yeah. Very different. Is it true that you think you got the role because you pulled up in a truck to the audition? I think so. What's your truck? It's a Ford F-150 77. You're a car girl. I'm a car girl. I'm a truck girl. I like trucks. I always have loved pickup trucks for some reason. And I have a tractor too. I like trucks. You like trucks. Yeah. But I like want to be in like a mini dress and like. You want to be hot girl in a truck. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You don't want like a convertible little car. You want like a big car. No, I could never imagine myself in a little car. I don't think anybody that knows me can imagine myself in a little car. Not my vibe. Not your vibe. Not my vibe. So you show up in a truck. How did they see you roll up? It's my only car. So I didn't be like, I'm going to show up to this audition in a truck. I'm like, that's my car. That's what I. OK, tracking, tracking. So you drive your car. But how you think they saw from like. No, I go into the meeting and we leave together. And then the valet, by the way, this is at the Sunset Tower. Like the valet at Sunset Tower was like, do I have to touch this? You know, like it's so my car is not. I love how we got a chateau drop and a Sunset Tower drop. Please bleep them out. Disgusting. Gross. So L.A. So L.A. was literally the only places I know. I don't go. By the way. Totally. I didn't book the meeting. If you're an actor in L.A., those are the places that the places that directors just like we're going to meet here. We're going to meet here. Like it's meeting central. Oh, it's me. Yeah. Because, OK, duh, you're not going to like an audition. Right. You're going to a meeting. A meeting. That's two different. Yeah. So you have a coffee together or whatever. And they're always at these two hotels for some reason. Yeah. And yeah, they like hold out my truck. And Adam's like, is that yours? I'm like, yeah, that one's my mine. And I was kind of like embarrassed by I don't know why. I was like the first time that I'm like, yeah. Do you think it's cool? Yeah. And he was like, damn, that's badass. And I just kind of badass. Adam is the best. Yeah. He's like the opposite of what you what you think. Like he's like so like sweet and like kind, wild and crazy in the best way possible. But he's like really sweet. It's so to me, I don't know, because I like have some like social anxiety. I don't know sometimes, but like the fact that like you just described walking out of the meeting together and then having to wait for your cars together. It's just one of those situations in life. You don't want to. You want to be like, bye. Yeah. And right. You know what I usually do? I usually go to the bathroom. Smart. Yeah. I usually like, OK, bye. And as we're walking, oh, I'll see you later. I'm just going to go to the ladies room and I don't have to go. See, I just don't want that. Like we already said bye. We already said bye. It's like when you're on the street with somebody and you keep walking the same way. You're like, and I get really awkward really quickly. So I'm like, I just know myself and I'm going to say something weird or I'm going to like, yeah, like, so how's your daughter? This was godly intervention the day. Yeah. The day that you didn't go to the bathroom because her banter was like really. Oh, OK. So you felt good. Yeah. It was like, oh, OK. I really it just felt normal. He's very normal. Yes. He's not like I'm a director and everything's serious. And I'll talk to you, Sue, and I'll reach out to your people. You know, he's like, OK, we exchange numbers. He's like, all right, let me I have like two or two songs that I want to send to you. See what you think. And I was like, OK, cool. Amazing. So we're just walking normal, talking about life or whatever. And we're waiting for the car. So it didn't feel weird. Adam expected me to have like, I don't know, a big fancy car. Yeah. And then it was just unexpected. Yeah. Like the idea that he had of me, like kind of broke when he saw the car. I'm like, I'm not like out here trying to be anything. I like trucks. Yeah, I really do. Do you know how to drive six? shift no I'm working that feels like you well I mean my tractor is stick shift and that one I can drive okay yeah but you're trying to learn yes the whole thing I'm trying I should have started younger I know it is cool it's like if you're already in that world there's cooler cars do that do that yes cooler cars do that your partner Jason was also at the premiere I saw him being a total insta boyfriend on the ground taking photos of you and the cast yeah he's very sweet how fun is it to have like that support from someone who like knows the biz know where you're going through it's the best and I feel like he's he's kind of he already has gone through what I'm going through right now so it's cool to have somebody to lean on and you know get advice from I'm like what should I do or what is this or hey what do I do with that it's just it's really nice to have somebody who's like you know who's like you know who's like you know who's like you know that you love and trust and that they love you to just lean on because you can get opinions you know you get opinions and I love my team but you know somebody that you that really really really knows you yeah to be like am I gonna be happy doing that yeah it feels I feel really really lucky are you a decisive person like you know like yes no right away or you need that kind of advice and no I'm not I'm not very decisive yeah I'm like tunneled visioned like once I do something I'm like I go for it like if for a role or whatever it might be I'm like really focused but when it comes to making a decision no I'm like should I should I know oh my god what do I do and it just every single scenario goes through my head so yeah I need I need people you need people yeah I tell a lot of people I call Tony Gilroy all the time I'm like Tony should I do this movie and he's like you're just calling me so I can say no for you and I was like because if you know you know maybe kind of thing yes if I know I know yeah but if I'm like doubting it and it's all I'm I'm also really instinctual and when it comes to making a decision about making doing a movie or not it like shuts off it like betrays me yeah I like can feel it a little bit if it is really vague you're like do the thing that you do that you protect me come on yeah and it yeah and it just kind of goes away it's really weird but you've made good calls so far thank you do you have any like regrets something you said no to that you're not doing I think no I have regrets of things I've done that's why I'm undecided yeah but is it a regret or is it like I learned from that no there's definitely one that's a regret will you tell me I don't know why I was in Morbius I shouldn't have been in that movie what was it about good question well now I have to check it out please don't okay it's a Marvel movie and I just I wanted to be either like in Marvel or DC I wanted to be now you're just kissing up to DC no I'm not I swear to god girl watch it watch it okay fine go watch it go you say for yourself you say for yourself yeah yeah I'm not kissing but it's it's not a good movie okay so one regret isn't bad in the in the industry yeah you have to have that oh talking about DC I didn't want to ask you because I read that you had to audition for the man of tomorrow part yeah you did yeah full full test does that how does that feel when you like have a such a relationship with with the director James Gunn you feel like you you wanted to do that as well no I wanted to do that yeah yeah yeah yeah and he he put me through it for sure like there's the the people that also tested which is public they're all incredibly talented so it's not like I was like I'm going in and I'm gonna go get the job no I we we were all trying to get the job yeah and they're so talented so yeah he he challenged me for sure and and you know there was a lot I have a fucking a I was about to put stop no there's just parts of the auditioning process that is not just acting you know you have to you have to demonstrate like when I got I tested for Star Wars you know they test you on on different things yeah and yeah it was it was pretty scary it was a really long day and yeah like a couple days later they told me I got I got the role which did you freak out I freaked out yeah of course I did I mean just being able to work with your friends and to join a new family feels really special and it feels really full circle because I did Belko experiment with James so it felt like okay this is I'm I'm on the right path you know what it felt like are you able because I know like in this business it's hard sometimes to like enjoy the success right like you're like to the next or like yeah you know are you able to do that to like be happy about I try achievements and and things that you're doing in the moment and not already be kind of in the next thing I don't know I try you try you do I try but I'm human and honestly sometimes I don't yeah you know and sometimes you're like either tired or you're busy and you've like you kind of skip that moment and you're like why didn't I like sometimes I'll look back at pictures or I'll have a memory of him like I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know why didn't I just enjoy that I was yeah you know I was just so busy that you kind of miss little moments I'm trying to get better at like being present yeah because I think what like upsets me with that is like I know that I would fucking kill someone if I didn't get the thing and then if you get the thing you're like okay but so I want that reaction to be like the equal to the like killing you know what I mean like yeah because I know that if I didn't get what I wanted then I'm like oh great yeah it's like no be the same be the same yeah to the other extreme because you're like oh I want to get to work you know you're so excited you're like oh my god I I gotta start preparing right now because
