Transcript

When's the last time you cried in a movie?

Oh, I use tear stick, it's a lot easier to control.

Watching a movie. Oh watching a movie,

oh, okay, I gave away one of my secrets.

(laughs)

I am with Tom Hardy who I'm really upset with

because now I have to share him with the world

but he has his film here called The Drop in Toronto,

which was an amazing movie, I loved it, it also made me

really sad not to have James Gandolfini around anymore.

The best part about working with Jim

is he has a standard which is very high

and he has the ability to match that

and also he digs very very deep and he insisted

on meeting that on that standard.

But he's just funny and he's got a wicked sense of humor.

And I truly, I take that with me,

that I had the privilege of working with him.

What about the Rocko, the dog,

how was that acting with an animal?

It was great, it was just a puppy, so it wasn't,

and it was so small that it hadn't actually

developed a personality past just basically

trying to walk or stand up, so it wasn't trouble,

it just wanted to step by.

And they let me take him home sometimes, which was cool too.

Are you gonna ever do another superhero movie?

I don't know, it depends if one comes in.

I haven't been offered one.

Do you watch them? No.

No. I do watch some.

But I'm more into things like Come Dine With Me

and reality TV shows.

I watch it for characters and I steal everything.

And I don't have to pay any rights for that.

Right.

What else are you up to?

I'm off to do The Revenant now with Leo and Alejandro

in Calgary for seven months, it's about fur trapping

and yeah, it's exciting, it's a lot of fur, lot of coal,

lot of bears and wolves. Growing that beard?

I am, I'm trying, I've got three weeks

to grow it as long as possible

and I know that's not gonna.

I don't know, 'cause a picture of Leo.

He's got a really big beard, right?

And I know you're competitive, so.

Yeah, it's alright, it'll be alright.

I have a lesser beard, that's fine, I know my place.

[Krista] Yeah just as long as you have

a little bit of one. Small beard.

And I cried during The Titanic as well.

I would avoid that movie for a long time

and then I ended up watching it and it got me.

You gonna tell Leo that, that you cried?

No no, I'd never tell him, obviously,

he's never gonna find out.

(laughs)

Yeah, I cried.

There was enough room on that door, right?

It's two of them. Yeah, there was.

Really, realistically, it was kinda off.

If she loved him, she'd have moved over, right?
