Oh my God, this outfit. I can't. I can't.
I know. I I actually did come in costume. I don't know what I am, but I'm ready for scuba.
My gosh. Head to toe. I think best dressed anything I've ever seen anywhere.
That's very sweet. Last year I had a GoPro on my head. Do you remember?
Yes, I do. Hi, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, I didn't make the connection till you just mentioned that, but yeah, of course.
Is what usually triggers people's memory. I really want to um, I want to see that footage. It was good footage.
Oh, it was so good. You have no idea. Do you remember it feeling good? With you guys, of course, millions and millions and millions of views. Normally, I have a GoPro on my head. Do you remember that?
Oh, that's right. That's right. I do remember that. Which scared me that night.
It did. I know it did. I know you were scared of it. It was like, is that thing off? How are you? I can't talk anymore, you.
Why? That was too good. Soft lips. I will say soft lips. Don't hate me, fam.
What do you expect them to be? True. Hard and rough? No.
Well, that could be good too. That's later. That's later. Who knows? Um, I don't know if you remember that I had a GoPro in my head last year.
You did. How was that? How was that footage? It's not on this year. This footage is not you you kissed the camera, but this was better. This year we topped it because I got one on the flash. You just appear in a video? Oh, Demi's.
Yes. Yes. Demi Lovato's. I I had just gone to hang out with her and next thing I know, she was like, yeah, just stand in that pink box over there. I was like, all right. And do like the, you know, like the video girl dance thing? No. Um, that's past me now. Um, I uh, I felt really awkward so I dragged those are actually crew members. Um, and I wanted them to be in it too because a lot of people don't really see the behind the scenes stuff and uh, and the people behind the camera. They just see uh, giving the cameraman love. He's so happy right now. Yeah, he's a hot guy and no one no one gets to see that.
Do you want to take the mic and take us really behind the scenes? Um, all right. So what brings you here to Comic Con?
Um, Chris Evans.
Chris Evans. Have you had a chance to meet him yet?
No, he walked by but it was, you know, I'm waiting for my moment later.
Yeah. Do you think he'll have anything to say about your sexy outfit?
Um, since he's retired, I'm campaigning to be the next Captain America.
What do you mean retired?
He's not doing Captain America anymore, so I'm campaigning for it. So he's either I think you should be Captain America. I'm actually really bad at interviews so I'm gonna ask.
No, you're really good at it. How do you sort of like eat fresh, Jamie?
I two days in a row. I've been literally eating mostly raw foods. A day by day, honestly, it's like depending on how you eat, you either exercise that way like more that day or um, I just try to eat healthy, but then every once in a while like a good bison burger or some fries, some truffle fries.
Directing. Yeah. You direct the yeah, you like that? I like that. I want to know because I don't know if you, you know, your your friend here Ian tweeted that he wants to get behind the What is it what? Smoldering pants. What? Smoldering pants. What does he call you?
Uh, Wesley pants. It's original.
Who came with it first?
I did.
Okay. Of course you did. Um, he's he's saying that he'd like to get behind the, you know, the lens, do a little directing. So I'm gonna ask each of you, if you were gonna direct Ian and you could put him in any role, I know you like to rib each other. What role, what film are you directing and putting Ian in?
Hedwig and the Angry Inch.
I just asked Paul cuz Paul directed this season. Yes he did. And you hinted on your Twitter that you would like to direct.
No, I am.
You are directing. So if you were gonna direct Paul and you can put him in any role, he's he said he'd put you in a Head Hedwig and the Angry Inch and whatever it's called. What would you put him in?
Mine would be Hedwig and the Angry Inch and a Half. And Paul would do that same movie but in Polish.
You've heard of the term woman crush Wednesday.
No, I haven't.
It's kind of this thing on Twitter where on every Wednesday, people name their woman crush. You're mine.
Oh wow.
I have three. You, Natalie Cruz. Oh, I'm getting so many kisses today from the guy. Really? And Blake Lively. The three of you. She's pretty awesome. Jennifer Lawrence though. Yeah, so if you had three women crushes, who would they be?
Jennifer Lawrence tops that list. Uh, Shaylene Woodley is close in second place. I haven't met her but maybe Natalie Portman. Yeah.
So we in the spirit of season 6, we're asking you guys sort of six random questions. I'm gonna get into a couple with you. I'm gonna ask you if you had the power to time travel, where and when would you go?
20s. 1920s. I've always like I'm fascinated with that whole era and and the clothing, the fashion, the the repression.
What is your biggest pet peeve?
When people, especially in Atlanta, drive too close to me and also when you bite your fork if you're like eating a salad or something like that and you bite your fork. Drives me crazy. And then you check to see if you chip your tooth or not. I will never bite my fork. I'm with other people bite their forks. I don't bite my fork.
What costume at Comic Con most needs to retire? Don't say Captain America.
Wonder Woman. People think I'm Wonder Woman until they see What is that? Oh, I thought it was.
Captain America. Do you think it was Wonder Woman? I thought it was Wonder Woman. Um, Captain America. Who was your first celebrity crush?
I think it was Jody Foster when I saw um, um Scarface. That that opened that scene when you first see her by the pool. I was a little dude and I just remember like you know. My woman crush.
Thank you so much. Get a shot. Double kiss. I love this.
