It's my, yeah, it's my song. Oh, good, we'll have to check it out, but I gotta tell you, I was there Sunday night at the premiere
1:52
I know, I saw you. It was so much fun, I love the movie
1:56
Your character takes a lot of twists and turns. Yeah. Do you want to talk about it
2:02
What can you talk about? I mean, this character, Dante Versano, is, let's say, it's a businessman, like, a legit businessman
2:15
It's a kind of mafia boss, you know. The first time that Paul called me, it was like, Paul Fink, the amazing Paul Fink, you know, calling me
2:23
He was like, you know, I want to work with you. And I was like, yeah
2:29
And I read the script. was like, oh, again? Playing again on Muffy Boss. But then I got so
2:36
into the character and the script and I found something could be, you know
2:43
more interesting than a usual Muffy Boss. It really takes a lot of twists and turns
2:49
Were you comfortable with all those twists and turns? I live in twists and turns
2:54
in my real life. I feel home, you know, kind of. What was it like joining this film
3:00
You know, because you don't have to have seen a simple favor. Right. But this is already an established franchise
3:06
You have actors that have worked together, Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively. What was it like for you to try and jump in on a train that already rolling It was you know it was kind of a blessing to me because I got to work with such great artists and with Anna with Blake you know with Henry
3:24
There are amazing actors. And for me, it was a blessing because I understood that I could have learned a lot from them
3:32
you know, because, you know, they they were already a family. So it's never really easy to get into a franchise in the second film because you find already an established family
3:48
But they welcome me very well. We've got one more clip of your work here
3:55
Oh, you're a deep mama. You look amazing. No amount of fashion can rescue this marriage from disaster
4:01
Oh, lovely mama, Portia. Good to see you. This is Stephanie, Stephanie's mother's, this is Portia Rosano
4:09
Hey, it's nice to meet you. You look beautiful. Oh, coming from you, that means very little
4:13
Let's eat. Good mama. I'm in love with her. Your mother is so funny in this film
4:21
He wants to be a mafia boss. He wants to be big and all that, but, you know, the real boss is his mom
4:31
And he's just like, yeah, I want to be, but I cannot
4:34
A mamone, you're a little bit of a mamone. Yeah, I mean, yeah. And the film is kind of, yeah
4:40
Do you keep your clothes on more than you did in the 365 series? Once again, sorry
4:46
365. Yeah. The series. Do you keep your clothes on more in this movie than you did in that
4:50
I mean 365 Let just say we going to be disappointed Yeah no you not going to be disappointed at all We just talking about you know different kinds of like two different worlds
5:06
So, yeah, 365 was, yeah, something more intense. This one is way more funny
5:13
It's a dark comedy. You know what I'm saying? Right, right, right. So I have to say, Blake Lively, her Italian is fantastic
5:21
So did you help her? Did she speak Italian before that? Of course, we had such a great time with Blake
5:27
You know, me trying to teach her some Italian words. And we end up saying Cornelio, which means rabbit
5:35
The whole, like, two months of, you know, two, you know, it's funny because in two months
5:43
was trying to teach her, you know, Italians, and, you know, the only thing that she learned
5:49
was Cornelia, which is rabbit, and it was so fun. Did you teach her curse words
5:53
I mean, come on. Of course. Yes, all right. That's always the first thing you learn. Yeah, exactly
5:57
And by the way, set in Capri, it is such a gorgeous and fun film
6:01
Yeah. Paul Figue is going to be here tomorrow with Elizabeth Perkins. Oh, really? Yeah. So that should be fun. Yeah
6:06
Elizabeth is an incredible actress. Yeah. When I wasn't sad, the way I was looking at her, getting into the crazy mom, insane crazy mom, was beautiful
6:17
It was such a beautiful lesson to me. She's an incredible actress
6:21
