I don't know if I have irrational fears
0:02
Something that does kind of freak me out though, I guess there are like tiny little holes
0:07
That's disgusting. Like a bunch of dots. No. Thank you
0:25
You're a Scorpio. Do you feel like that sign reflects who you are
0:29
I think when you first meet me, I'm definitely more Libra. And I give off that kind of more, you know, patient, balanced, well-rounded person
0:38
And then as you kind of get to know me more and more, I reveal a much more Scorpio side to me
0:44
What's your most irrational fear? I don't know if I have irrational fears
0:49
I feel as though I have very real fears in my life
0:55
I'm kind of becoming, you know, more and more aware that I'm about to die
0:59
one day so you might as well just do whatever it is that's scaring you. Wherever your fear is
1:05
wherever your anxiety is, that's probably where you need to go. Is there a type of horror you
1:10
haven done yet that you love to explore Just something totally different Just anything but horror I love love and that something that I haven really explored much of How do you spend a day off when you not filming and you actually have some time to
1:25
yourself? Probably have like a hot bath, some Epsom salts, read a book, eat something really
1:33
nice, cook something. Really simple. That sounds like a good day. You once impersonated Shelley Duvall from The Shining
1:56
If another horror icon role came your way, who would you want to play
2:01
Maybe Catherine Deneur in Belle Dujour. Do you ever watch your own performances back
2:07
or do you avoid that? No, I've never, you know, like, sat on my sofa
2:11
and put a movie on and just watched it. What was your first reaction to seeing Jacob Elordi
2:18
in his full Frankenstein hair and makeup? I think first and foremost, I actually felt quite emotional
2:24
and emotional on Guillermo del Toro's part because I know what a deeply personal story this is for him
2:31
and for them to finally get to that point where they had their actor they had their guy and he was in the makeup and in the hair And I couldn help but think what a special moment that was for Guillermo I was also taken by how comfortable Jacob was in the makeup in the hair
2:48
He really owned it and he was very grounded in it and he did a great job
2:52
Fans are eager for another Ty West collaboration. Is there anything you can tease
2:56
I don't think there's anything else coming. I think the trick is to quit while you're ahead
3:00
And the fact that we were able to make three movies the way we did is just kind of something that I'll forever look back up with great fondness
3:09
But I think now we have to move ahead. What was the inspiration behind your character Elizabeth Levenza's costume
3:25
And what is your favourite look of hers? Honestly, I've never worked on a film with a wardrobe quite like Frankenstein, and I really mean that
3:35
The costume designer Kate Hawley is nothing but remarkable. Her and her incredible team behind her, the level of detail and intricacy that they thought through everything
3:46
It was truly a masterclass in costumes, and I can't believe that I got to wear those pieces
3:52
You known for working with directors who have a very distinct vision What one directing choice that stuck with you Well I think the sign of a great director is one that really just kind of leaves you alone
4:05
I think that those are the most confident directors. I think that they kind of just give you your space to do what it is that you need to do
4:14
Describe each of these co-stars in one word. Jacob Elordi in Frankenstein. Very kind
4:19
David Corr in Sweat in Pearl. A real gentleman, Alexander Skarsgård in Infinity Port
4:27
He's funny. Kid Cuddy. He's cool. Are you dressing up for Halloween this year
4:34
Yeah. I mean, it's only August. It's so hot, I can't even imagine dressing up in anything right now
4:39
But I guess... Maybe a pumpkin. I'll do something, but I'll have to think about it
4:44
Maybe, you know, it won't be a pumpkin this year. Maybe I'll be..
4:49
I can't think. I can't think. I'll be It's September's problem Yeah
