All right. So, who's the better kisser?
Okay, okay. I'm not going to say, I cannot say anything for him. He's so embarrassing. Of course it's Liam. I've love-kissed Liam before and it's not bad.
Great to have you both here.
Thank you.
Okay, so you're from Australia, you're from Brazil. Yes. Settle the debate. Who has the better beaches?
Australia.
Of course, Brazil, come on. I'm kidding. I went to Australia and being Brazilian, I was, I was blown away by it.
It was mostly an Australian crew I imagine and most of the cast was Australian.
Everyone. Yeah, it was, I think apart from me and Simon, everyone was Australian, yeah.
Yeah. And it was a good host.
Yeah.
It was a great host but they're very hard to understand. I'm honest about it. Yeah. Every time we're together, I'm like, Luke, sorry, can you repeat? He's like, Yeah, you keep asking me to repeat everything that I say.
Yeah. It happens here though as well, you know. Yeah. So, can I have a glass of water and people go, no. What? Can I have a glass of water? Oh, water? Okay. Water. Water. Can we really sound that bad?
Yeah. You do, don't we?
Wait, I just watched the film this morning and it's just, it's a roller coaster. It's like more twists and turns as I'm going to say then driving up the California coastline. I'm sick and tired of having barely enough. I want more. I made everything you had within the week. We're good for the money. Well, we will be. Are you seeing someone else? Cause I couldn't handle something like that. Sometimes they make it too easy. Don't go putting that online now, will you? So I I saw something on your Instagram about kangaroo jerky and emu jerky. Did you have any of this?
Oh my gosh. Well, we're we're one of those really smart nations who eat our national emblem. Kangaroo food is really, it's big in Australia. We we like having kangaroo steaks.
And I've had it. I've been there and it just tastes like chicken.
I did read that you screen tested for the role. Yep. Together. And there were three actors in the final and you kind of chose. Is that true? The director asked you.
The other, the other actors are going to kill me. That's right. The other actors are watching this.
Yeah, I know the other actors. I screen tested for that. She didn't pick me. They're going to they're going to hate me. One day we're going to screen test. Move that. They're going to cut me off.
No, it wasn't that, but it was funny cause I spoke to Trip, loved Luke. And I never had to to screen test but me being in cast and I always screen tested with actors that were already cast. It wasn't like that that I chose but it was interesting that
It's not like the Bachelor. This is not like the Bachelor. What's behind door number three?
It was mainly because uh Luke was very honest and very truthful. And the way I think I believe that he acts is very natural and truthful to the moment and to the character. It was just easy straight away.
I mean, you know, like the most nerve-wracking thing is the chemistry read. Yeah. Especially cause you know you're down to the wire. You're almost there and you almost have that part. But you're not quite there yet. Yeah. And it was easy. It was one of the most, the easiest reads we've ever been to.
Now, did you work with Liam before?
No, I worked with Liam after him. After. After him.
So who's the better brother to work with?
Well, I'm not going to say. Actually, it's the first time I meet you after filming with him. And I'm like, I'm so going to cheat on your brother because now you're going to be my friend and you're not going to be like. Is that a love interest in that film as well? I'm Liam's wife. I'm all about. Have you seen Chris? Yeah, that's right. Liam's wife. And now he's Chris. Now he's Chris.
Bucket list. There is the three. Coincidence or how did that sort of come about?
It was just a coincidence, funny like
There's just so many of you. Oh, there's so many of you. Three actors, what are the chances? You're going to change Hollywood to Hemsworth.
It was funny cause it was. And it was great, you know, because they're so sweet and kind and generous. Like it's nice to be around them just because they're passionate about what they do. Well, they're actors. But it they're so passionate about what they do that it's fun. Like Liam is is just like a big boy that loves to do what he does. So it was so wonderful and it was great to work with him in this project because he's so different than everything that I've seen. And I think he's he's going to be amazing in it. The family, well, their parents are amazing. I met them.
You were saying before you started rolling, your parents have now sort of retired and turned into rock and roll cougar trackers.
They're amazing parents. I want to be like them. I swear to God. It's every kid's dream to like say, you know what? And there are three of you doing really well in Hollywood, I've made all the, you know, money. Here mom and dad go retire. We we go to bed and mom and dad stay up and drink the bar. Fantastic. It's really cool. It's a great family. I love it.
All right, so who's the better kisser?
Okay, I'm not going to say, I cannot say anything further him. He's so embarrassing. Of course it's Liam. I've love-kissed Liam before and it's not bad. But it's so funny, funnily enough, I have a scene like very similar with both of them that I was, I looked at Liam and I said, this is so weird cause I already did this. And you know, you guys look kind of alike, so it's funny and we're cracker. It was great practice. Except like he's, I'm like I'm on a apple box just to kiss him.
Now wait, in that love scene, you didn't have Simon Pegg's, you know, spying on you, did you? Cause then your love scene. Was he actually there shooting when you guys were doing your love scene?
No, but he was making fun of us. He was. He was, of course making fun of us.
How do you get prep for like a love scene? Me or him? Or both of you, yeah.
It's funny. I mean, like love scenes
You should have a lots of vodka. Just focus.
I've done like a lot of uh lovemaking scenes and I think it's so important for you to not be overthinking about it and just like, they're just friends. So it's just it's. I mean, it's terrifying. It's terrifying. I'm I'm like a, I'm like a puppet. I'm like, you just do whatever you want and I'll make it. Put your arm here. Put your arm there.
And it was your first love scene, right? It was. Was it? Yes. Wow. Your love scenes in ocean. My first love scene.
Family of actors, both of you. What do you think the perks are? I mean, number one I would think being able to have somebody to run lines with all the time. Is it a nice thing to have people other people, you know, in your family in the business?
Uh, yeah, for sure. I mean, it's it's a blessing and a curse.
Yeah. I was going to say what's the best and what's the worst thing about it?
Well but it's not like we sit around Christmas dinner and recite, you know, Shakespeare. It has happened but but we just, you know, it's like Chris is still an idiot and Liam's still an idiot. You know. They like it doesn't, it doesn't, nothing changes. We're still us being idiots together. Um, but it's good we do, we do run a lot of lines together, you know, if there's ever something that I'm worried about and Chris is always the politician sage advice and Liam's like, I don't know, whatever.
Well, Chris is the Chris is the the one in the middle so he's like always being the balance probably.
Yeah. They're also the best people at picking you out when you're when you're doing
Exactly. Being. Cause they know you so much. And they're the ones that have that access. Why are you doing it like that? What do you mean? I'm being a character. They're just like calling you out for what you're really, what you're really like. Thanks to Chris.
Thank you both for coming in.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
This is a fun, fun movie. Everybody should definitely check it out. Amazing cast and amazing scenery and amazing plot twists.
