Brilliant and can I tell you a secret as a kiwi we all know peeps from LOR when Cate left the set after shooting the male actors would watch her leave they were the core cast and they were just so in awe of her and thought she was stunning no makeup just being herself. You missed asking her about my fav I think it’s 100 cigarettes? She plays her own cousin talking to her it’s genius all in Aussie accents 😊she’s a keeper ❤❤❤❤

[@laureanoalfaro9351]

I'm more than half way thorught it and I think they've got themselves kind of starstruck, specially Will and a bit less Jason, Sean was just geniunely happy and overwhelmed to have her. Will and Jason felt like they've tried to hard to be funny and Cate actually was a good sport, they talked too much and didn't let her talk enough for moments with a couple of just silly remarks, combine with very generic questions. I'm saying this far from a trolling or agressive tone and I know that It's even silly to like now talk directly to the three of them here, but: lads you are cool, you are funny, you don't have to try that much and just enjoy the moment....some pages from the book of Craig Ferguson on how to riff and just be there in an "interview" won't be bad, you are quite a great trio...BTW that "singing in the rain" joke by Jason was witty and quick as fvck (at least mine are pretty fast).

[@R.L.M670]

Agreed.

[@laureanoalfaro9351]

@@R.L.M670 yet it seems that I had too much time on my hands that day :)

[@bernitajenkins7581]

As an Aussie... I can tell Cate was a bit uncomfortable. I feel like everyone was trying too hard. Cate is much more of a larrikan, usually. I dunno... It just felt a bit forced. No shade. Just one of those things.
