GUY AND DOLL

First off, enormous congratulations on that Oscars performance...

You know, the Barbie party was coming to an end, and there was only time for one last song. I wanted to try and end it on a high note that I could barely hit. I’ve been on such a Barbie high that The Fall Guy has been such a perfectly placed stunt crash pad to fall into afterwards [laughs].

You and Emily shot The Fall Guy before Barbenheimer blew up. What did you make of that phenomenon?

Well, it was all a big marketing. It the actual Barbenheimer. It’s funny, there was a moment when was playing in the theatre, and was playing two theatres down. And in the middle theatre, between both of them, on the fault line of both and was test-screening. So little did people know that Barbenheimer was happening in between them [laughs].
