You look absolutely gorgeous. Tell me about this look, a goddess.
Want to guess who it is?
Think back to my last movie.
The Devil Wears...
Oh, whoa, it was that obvious.
You're like stupid dummy Prada.
I wasn't going to do you deep dirty like that.
Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.
How much fun have you been having?
Do you wear sweatpants anymore?
Yes, not recently.
But lately I've found that sweatpants don't fit as well as palazzo pants.
So palazzo pants are my pregnancy pants of choice.
Oh my god, well you look absolutely stunning.
Thank you, thank you.
You play Penelope.
She is a strong, fierce woman and we loved watching you play her.
How do you relate to that character in this moment of your life right now where you're at?
Oh, great question.
I feel like I got so lucky in my partner on screen and my partner in real life.
So my partner on screen was Matt Damon, my partner in real life is my husband, Adam Schulman.
And because of the love that I share with Adam,
I could believe in the love that Penelope and Odysseus has.
And you couldn't ask for a better on-screen husband than Matt.
And lastly, you're still going this year.
You have a bunch of press tours coming up, movies.
You're not done.
We're at the midpoint.
You're not done.
So let's fantasize for a minute.
If you can have your dream day off for a morning tonight, what would that look like?
Now you've stumped me.
Honestly, I'd go to the movies.
I love, love, love the movies and there's so many wonderful things out
and I haven't had time to see all of them.
So I think I'd probably just want to find the best movie I could on the biggest screen.
I happen to think that right now it's the Odyssey.
But yeah, I'd probably just go to the movies with my family,
eat a burger, take my dog for a walk.
And like, if it's a dream day, then I'd go dancing.
