Is this true that you modeled before acting?
Is that right? I did, yeah.
What kind of modeling did you do?
I did stuff for Abercrombie & Fitch,
but you would never know
because none of my pictures got released.
They took photos of you and they never used them?
Yeah, which I thought was unbelievable
until my agent emailed and was like,
why didn't you ever use her?
And then they, instead of answering
with any words or explanation,
they just sent over the photos.
And there was this one part
where they threw us a football
and we were on the beach,
so they were like, play football.
This is you and other girls?
And other, yeah, other model, boys, girls.
There's like this one picture
where this girl is just about to catch this football
and behind her, I'm like,
flared nostrils, red face, my hair straight,
and I'm like mid-air, like, no!
And at one point she screamed, get her away from me.
Yeah, it was.
So you were just, they're modeling
and you were really playing football.
I thought that overnight I just got really good at football
and then I realized that they were model footballing
and I was really playing football.
So I was like, these guys suck!
And then they didn't use them.
And yeah, and I ended up losing in the long run.
Now, what'd you do for the Super Bowl?
For the Super Bowl, I had a little party.
I just had a few friends over
and I normally, I always hate the Super Bowl.
I'm like, what, like now everybody cares about football
and everybody's like,
oh, it's the commercials are the best part.
I'm like, you're not having a fun time
if commercials are your favorite part of anything.
Right.
So I thought I hated it.
But then I understood it.
It was like five beers in and I was just like, oh my God.
And I was totally captivated.
Five beers in, you say that about anything.
But now I get the like beer and football thing.
It was great.
And then the power outage, I was freaking out
and everybody's like, this is your dream.
Nobody's watching the Super Bowl.
And I was just like, what's going on?
I was really concerned.
Sounds like you had a blast.
Do you throw a lot of parties?
Are you someone who throws parties?
No, well, I kind of have to throw parties at my house
because I never leave my house.
So I just have to invite people over.
Really? I sound crazy.
You will not leave your house, is that true?
No, not right now.
Yeah, so you just like to lay low
and have people to your house.
Yeah, then I don't have to change my pants.
If I don't have to put a bra on
and I don't have to change my pants.
That's fantastic.
Well, I'm coming over.
Old creepy guys here.
I did the dance, remember?
So if you throw a party, what's it like?
Is it a restrained party or does it get pretty nutty?
Oh, very restrained.
There's lots of rules in my house.
No, I guess.
I don't know.
I mean, it's not really that many people
so it can't get too out of control.
It was just a lot of drinking, I guess.
Yeah.
Oh, and we watched the puppy bowl.
Oh, you watched the puppy bowl?
On the commercials.
Did anybody see?
Am I the only one?
No. Do I sound crazy again?
No, no, no, no.
Puppy bowl is good.
They gave us, it's just puppies.
And then they have a little camera under the water bowl.
It's genius.
And then there's kitten bath time.
Jennifer, this is the beer talking.
There's a camera in the bowl.
Yeah, I know.
I was just getting really, really excited about this.
And do you have celebrities over to your house?
Or are they civilians?
Who's coming over to your house?
No, I don't really know many celebrities.
Yeah, mostly just civilians.
The common folk.
Right.
It's nice to be kind to them.
It's so funny because you can meet anybody
and I thought, like, you've met-
Well, I met Sally Field and she,
we were going to start a carpool to go to all of these
because we were talking about one of these things
that we have to go to and we're like,
God, this is getting so annoying.
Oh my God.
And then she was like, you know what we should do?
And I thought she was going to be like, we shouldn't go.
And then she just goes, we should start a carpool.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, I was like, that's not what I thought
you were going to say, but all right.
I think it'd be great if all the celebrities
going to the award shows got in a carpool.
Yeah, all the actress nominees.
We all just get a giant minivan,
like a little Miss Sunshine van.
A school bus would be good.
And just show up to everything together.
Yeah, or just like you pull over.
Like a clown car of just actresses.
Well, why not just everybody?
We got to go get Affleck.
No, there are only actresses.
Oh really?
I don't know, I just said that.
Okay.
I don't mean it.
I'd be happy to drive it.
