"Maybe I am British!?" Cruella's Emma Stone and Emma Thompson on accents, selfies and *that* laugh.

How are we doing this today? Can I say Emily we're close enough for that, geez? Yes, I `d love to. Ace. Well, Emma, ​​here's a question. Would you feel comfortable calling Emily right now an honorary British? Oh yes, absolutely, you look vaguely familiar. impressive I don't know anything about the family, honey, no, I'll give him my lady's hood. I'll give you the bag. She could give him half the plate and she could be her father and I could be me. It works, it works. I'll obviously check with hrh, but I'm sure she'll do fine. I'm glad we came to this conclusion today because she had a ton of evidence here, we got the whole

cruella

accent.

Full stop, right, your hair is real like my ball, I like to make an impact, there you are breaking the word schedule, don't think I didn't notice, we have all the favorites, right, that was you, I saw it on the horse that tomorrow, I am a servant, where would I get a horse? Maybe you dreamed about me and you're finally a big Spice Girls fan. Okay, yeah, I don't forget the moment when you say in this movie oh fart, oh farts and I will also say in life that now I have adopted instead of ruining it, I say budget, you know, that's true, I don't want to brag, but I use it in daily life, I mean, I can't believe you mentioned it.

So I happen to be British without warning, that's crazy nonsense, well you're fired, why are you talking? I think you mixed me up now. You're both super professional, obviously, but were there moments in the filming of this movie where you might have

laugh

ed a little? camera

maybe

when you're riding on the side of a garbage truck with a huge piece of garbage, I mean garbage, I mean a garbage dress when it comes to breaking character, I'm extremely unprofessional, I

laugh

almost all the time and I've gotten into something legitimate. Trouble for that before because I can't keep a straight face.

Emma threw her fork and her cloth napkin out the window as we sat in the car. She made me laugh all the time, but I didn't get in trouble, okay? Don't get into trouble with this, the thing is that I was born fast and a little crazy talking about laughter, Emily, what's the trick to a good

cruella

laugh? Because it is iconic. It was a lot of listening to Tallulah Bankhead and trying to really very good because the animated cruella that was based on Tallulah Banquet's voice so I saw a lot of Vancouver sweet and simple anita I know, I know that this horrible little house is the castle of your dreams.

I noticed you do a similar driving motion to the one in the cartoon, yes. Well, a lot of it, yeah, you have to keep it, you have to keep it, sometimes I don't say it, Emma tells me, was there any element where this was the biggest acting challenge of all of you because you two have to get along like a house on fire, but in front of the camera you two? We have to hate each other yes, it was very difficult, you have the talent, do you have the killer instinct is the big question, it was very difficult, I had to go into a dark room and think bad thoughts for hours and hours before I even thought about it.

Begin approaching the

stone

with anything remotely resembling a resentment or a dark thought of any kind. Mm, yes, it was very difficult. In fact, Craig Gillespie, the director, had to stop me on many occasions from hugging her and crushing her against my chest. at every available opportunity because I love her so much, so yes, it was perhaps the biggest acting challenge I've ever had and I congratulate you for that. I have to say Emily was there early on you spent

maybe

two or three days taking

selfies

I did it with every costume and you designed this you actually did it in the 1965 collection oh no wonder I love it it's mine and neither I'm not even the person who does that so often, I think it's disgusting, it's not that I'm not on social media, I don't understand it, when I see people with a lot of

selfies

, it makes me sad and scared, but I did it a lot because it was the genius of nadia stacy who did Jenny Bevan's hair and makeup with these costumes I almost felt like I wasn't taking a selfie of myself but of their work and what they had done and like I needed evidence of that in some way, it was great so that I am very justified.

When taking selfies I thought that the moment when you are standing on top of a car with Emma inside and the whole train covering her is an immediate photographic moment, it's pretty cool, I know it's very difficult to capture them all, right? when you were standing in the car holding the camera up, you couldn't capture everything. Could you? Any selfie was really difficult. You need one of those sticks they sell on bridges. Yes, yes, it is so difficult that you suffer. your art um i'll leave you with this we've talked before emily about wanting to break the fourth wall and look at the camera this feels like one of those movies that really want you to do that's the past i'm cruella could you tell me a little about the tone and how close it was to that kind of thing?

Well, the best thing is the way Craig Gillespie shoots, although it's a little strange because in the scenes, you look at a piece of tape. in the camera map frame and that's why it looks like the characters are basically looking straight into the lens so I almost felt like I had to do it and what he's talking about is that in almost every movie, I want to break the fourth wall and start talking to the audience. Let me start by saying that there are two sides to every story and this is my side. I think every movie should be Ferris Bueller and then we should turn around, wink and explain what it is.

Continuing with the hearing, but you know you can't really do it very often. Look, I don't want to give you grades, but pride and prejudice would have been much better, as well as this sense of sensitivity, it doesn't matter. I'm going to jump off a bridge now and get myself a selfie stick, so I'll meet you there, okay, I'll stop you, I'll stop you and we'll go have a drink, I love it, I love you, bye.
