Hello, Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd
0:01
How are you? Hi, Deb. Your new film, Death of a Unicorn, it comes out on the 4th of April
0:06
This has got one of the biggest twists I've seen in a really long time
0:10
I don't think I'll ever look at unicorns the same way ever again. Jenna, did you have any reservations
0:16
about doing a film that would forever change the way we think about unicorns
0:20
Or do you reckon it's about time they had a bit of an image makeover? It's funny because according to Alex Sharfman
0:25
the super smart writer and director and creator of this thing this is his brainchild apparently it's quite truthful to what the lore
0:34
and idea that surrounded unicorns was back in the day in medieval times there's some incredible
0:41
uh familiar faces in this one of my favorites the amazing richard e grant who do you know one
0:46
of my favorite facts is that he keeps a diary do you think he wrote about either of you in his diary
0:52
during this i do i think he did i think he's published his bits of his diaries i've read
1:00
as i with you a big fan of richard e grant and i've read many things that he's written so
1:06
that's kind of an interesting thing to think that he has and that he wrote about it you'd be
1:10
surprised he's a very honest truthful just unfiltered person so i feel like if anything
1:15
the things we were hearing from him on set was probably in reference to what he had already
1:19
written and maybe he's coming up with lines like that's a good one and then would you know
1:23
the next day and see how they played you might be right Jenna that's true that's for the second
1:28
book he bringing out um Jenna do you have something like Richard diary that you stick to consistently or is like a sort of daily practice not necessarily I used to be a really big or not used to be I kind of falling out of it right now because I finished my notebook and
1:44
I've been delaying getting a new one, but I do love to journal. I do love to write, but it's not
1:48
always a daily practice. I only write when I feel the urge to write. So I may not write for days and
1:54
then I may write four times in one day. It kind of, it doesn't really depend. And then I'm trying
2:00
I'm trying to meditate and that's been a little bit of a learning curve, but I'm getting quite
2:06
good at it now. And I think I have to start my day that way. Otherwise, I don't know, it explains
2:12
kind of my anxiety in recent years. So it's been nice to kind of deal with that in a peaceful manner
2:19
That's incredible. We're really big on routine and sort of winding down because we're on in the
2:24
evening. Paul, do you have an evening routine, a way of sort of like decompressing after a long day
2:29
I find that I really like going to sleep earlier than I used to
2:35
Now, because I'm 100 years old, if 8.30 p.m. rolls around, I'm like, is this too early to go to bed
2:43
Is this going to be, is this going to, am I going to wake up at 4 a.m. now because it's too early
2:49
4 a.m. 4 a.m. I'm okay with 2 a.m. is the one problem. But I don't really have a set routine
2:55
I would say if a morning morning routine coffee and I'll usually try and do the crossword puzzle
3:02
to get my brain going I really like that what about you Jenna do you have a evening routine
3:08
or a sort of like go to unwind it quite difficult because we always traveling for work and it always a new environment and whatever the job is you kind of have to create a new routine that you can only really stick to for six weeks because then you off to the next one
3:21
I do, I would say that I feel like I get more accomplished at night because in the morning
3:26
I don't really want to flood my brain with too many other things if I have work coming up
3:31
I'll focus on that. And then I too feel the need to go to bed around 8 p.m., 8 30
3:37
but I don't because it's the only time I can get things done
3:41
So I usually find myself up late reading scripts, answering emails, doing things like that
3:47
Also, when I'm tired, I have a pretty intense OCD. So I have a lot of, that's kind of my routine
3:53
in terms of repetitive thoughts and counting everything multiple times and having to do the same action over and over
3:59
So sometimes my nights consist of like just being really exhausted and going up and down the stairs six times
4:04
because I think that's what I need to do to make sure nobody breaks into my home. I like that the routine is no routine for both of you
4:12
We also, we do something with all of our guests. It's called Please Stop Asking Me
4:16
So it's the question you feel like at this point in your career, you've probably answered it quite enough
4:21
We're not saying these are good questions or these are bad questions, but it's maybe a question that pops up quite a lot
4:27
Kevin Hart recently told us to please stop asking him if he'll FaceTime one of your cousins
4:33
Like, please don't approach him when he's out in public trying to get him on FaceTime with someone
4:37
Paul, do you have a Please Stop Asking Me? I have a couple, but I feel like if I say them
4:42
then people are just going to keep asking me about it. When is the last time you did an interview where somebody didn't mention your appearance
4:48
About 30 seconds ago Yeah What about you Jenna I guess FaceTiming is a good one but the only why is because half the time you facetime the person and they like waking up they confused they don
4:59
know what's going on or they're just breaking up or there's like dead silence because maybe they're
5:04
really not that excited and it's like an over eager parent so maybe i agree with kevin but i
5:10
don't really know i think every circumstance is different awesome and finally we we have a point
5:15
of the show where we tell a bunch of kids to go to bed uh this might sound a little bit weird but
5:20
would you both mind telling me to go to bed so we can use it to send a nation of petulant kids
5:25
off to beddy bars a little bit later on please is your audience children i mean really all of a sudden now i really feel like i need to answer all of my questions
5:36
differently there is a sort of there's a cutoff point between like seven and then eight p.m yeah
5:41
Yes, there are like quite a lot of kids that listen. A lot of kids. It is 8 p.m
5:47
I think it's time to go to bed, guys. I know you don't want to go to bed, but I'm telling you
5:52
it's the best time to go to bed. I'm so jealous of you
5:56
that you get to go to bed right now. If you've listened to all of this interview
6:01
you know for a fact, if it was up to me, I'd already be sleeping
6:05
So embrace it now while you can. Do it, guys. You'll be happy
6:10
You'll be happy that you did. you don't think you're tired but trust me you're exhausted just ask your parents what a pro uh
6:17
jenna and paul were so excited to talk to the both of you thank you so much for your time have a good
6:21
rest of your night thank you so much take care
