Amy Adams on Craig Ferguson

My next guest is a charming actress. She was in the movie Catch Me If You Can and The Wedding Date. She's just got an Oscar nomination for Junebug. Take a look at this. Are you wearing any makeup? Because you could wear more if you wanted to. You're so tall. I'm fair. But I like to experiment with a lot of different looks. Were you born in Chicago? I was born right here. I lived here my whole life. My favorite animal is the meerkat. Do you know what they are? They're so cute. I've got this little charm bracelet with meerkats on it. Do you have lots of boyfriends? I bet you did. Did you ever try out for cheerleading or anything? I tried out, but I didn't make it. I was born in Japan. You were not. Please welcome the lovely Amy Adams, everybody. Welcome, Amy. Thank you. You look absolutely lovely. I love your dress. Thank you so much. I heard what you were saying about the Olympics and Tonya Harding. People have told me that I look like Tonya Harding. She wishes, girlfriend. Thank you. That's the last time I read fan sites. Do you go on the Internet and Google yourself? I have. Really? I really have. You'll never find anything good about Googling yourself. I haven't yet, so I think I'm not going to do that. I used to Google myself, but I don't anymore. That's smart. Sometimes. If it's late and you're feeling low. Yeah, that's right. That's right. Tell me about the Junebug film. What's the Junebug film about? It's a really hard film to describe in a short amount of time. It's about loss and it's about a southern family. It's mostly about family dynamics and all that kind of stuff. It's a really great film. Good. Thank you. I'm looking forward to it. I haven't seen it. Oh, no. No, I haven't seen it. I tried to see it and I couldn't get in. Oh, Greg. I couldn't get in. You couldn't get in? No. Where's... He wouldn't let me in because I was Scottish. It was a... They said this is a southern, American South. This is a southern movie. Get out. Come back when you have your citizenship, they said. That's it. Now, you've been nominated for an Oscar. I have. Are you beside yourself with excitement? I'm outside of myself with excitement. Nice. For sure. I'm definitely... It's an out-of-body experience. It must be. Did you go to that Oscar lunch with all the... I did. Did Clooney hit on you? Come on. No. I've made such a fool out of myself in front of George Clooney so many times. Why? He's just so cute and I... It depends on what you like. You know, I'm... He's all right. Orlando Bloom, girl, he is cute. I make it a point not to hit on anyone prettier than me in Orlando town. Yeah, well, that's true. He is very girly, isn't he? Well, you know. I mean that in a very respectful way. Shut up. No, but... So, how did you make a fool of yourself in front of George Clooney? What did you do? Oh, several times. I was at a... I was at a photo shoot and I had all this makeup and I was, like, really getting into character for this photo shoot and I had on this robe and he walked in and I just felt like I knew him. And I go, Mr. Clooney. And he just stared at me. Yeah. And I was like, hi, I'm Amy. He might have thought you were a cop or something when you said that. In a robe. That's... Hey, it's L.A. What about... Are you the only ex-Hooters girl that's been nominated for an Oscar, do you know? Unless Frances McDormand had a career as a Hooters girl. A Hooters girl? I'm thinking. I'm thinking not. I don't know, though. I don't know. Do you miss the Hooters girl experience? Um, no. No. I miss the free wings. Free wings. I think it must be one of the hardest jobs on earth being a Hooters girl, actually. Because not only are you waiting table, you're listening to extra amounts of crap from men. You know, I was so naive when I worked there and I had been a dancer, so I was used to running around on stage in leotard and tights. So I'm like, what's the difference? Leotard and tights, orange shorts and tights. There's a difference. Who knew? Hey, you know Hooters has their own airline now? I heard that. I've never traveled Hooter air. How about you? Oddly enough, I was working on this film called Talladega Nights and we all had to fly on this jet to go to Birmingham to go to one of these races. And they had chartered a huge jet and it was a Hooters air jet. Did the Hooters girls come by and open your pancake? No, no. They weren't working that day, apparently. We didn't have any. I don't know, but I was really like, oh yeah, Hooters. Yeah. I don't know. I like airlines to be sort of, you know, well, we'll be flying at 5,000. All kind of, you know, respectable and pompous. I don't like, woohoo, Hooters, let's go. Turbulence, yeah, let's fight some more. Exactly. I don't like that. We are out of time. Listen, I wish you good luck at the Oscars. And if you win, come back. And if you don't, come back anyway. I would love to come back. All right. Amy Adams, everybody. We'll be right back.
