With the stars of Kidnap, Halle Berry, Sage Corea and we have a third co-star actually, a minivan.

Halle Berry

We do.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. Halle going ham with the minivan in this. I love it. Found you, you son of a No! Oh God. Sage, how was it having Halle as your movie mom?

Sage Corea

It was cool. When we got there to New Orleans, like a couple days before we filmed, she brought me over to her hotel to like give advice about the movie and stuff.

Halle Berry

Oh. You remember that?

Sage Corea

I do remember that.

Young Hollywood

What advice did she give you?

Sage Corea

I don't remember. All we talked. Mainly all, mainly all we talked about was Alvin and the Chipmunks. The night before I was watching um Alvin and the Chipmunks. So I had that uh movie in my head the whole day.

Young Hollywood

It was bonding time. I was going to ask how you guys bonded and had fun because it's kind of an intense ride this movie.

Halle Berry

Yeah, it is. And we needed time so we could feel like we were familiar in some way and I did have some little talks with him. You don't remember but I'm going to remind you. We talked about, you know, Listen up. Sort of the themes of the movie and for you not to be afraid and to know that it wasn't real because he was only six. I mean, he's now big with his big man teeth and everything. He has baby teeth when we made this movie. You know, he was only six years old and so I was protective of him and wanted to make sure that he went back the same way he came. You know?

Young Hollywood

Yeah. And Halle, you're a mom yourself. And and in this movie she really goes into full mama bear mode. So was it really that much of a reach for you, you think?

Halle Berry

I don't think so. The emotion wasn't a reach for me at all. Being a mother of two, I I connected instantly. The reach was I did a lot of this movie in a van by myself. That was the hard part. To calibrate that performance, to keep track of where I was in my chase because of course, we don't shoot anything in order. That was the reach for me. Trying to keep it all straight with and kind of by myself a lot in in that minivan.

Young Hollywood

Yeah. It turns you off to minivans.

Halle Berry

Minivans are dope. I can't think of driving my kids around without my. I mean it's got a vacuum cleaner, it's got a refrigerator. It's got surround sound movie theater in the back.

Young Hollywood

Does it also align your chakras, like can you do yoga in it? Like.

Halle Berry

There's enough room, girl, you can do about anything you want in a minivan and I'm pro minivan today.

Young Hollywood

Halle, I don't know if you know this. He is a budding rapper as well. I yeah. And I before we go, Sage, do you mind just like dropping some rhymes?

Sage Corea

My boy Killian, used to live in Philly and then he got a billion. Now he got a gazillion. My main male, Fabian, has a friend named Robbie. He lives in a lobby but that's stoppy and me. I hear my name a lot because I got good fame. My name is Sage. I make the maximum wage because I put the letters on the page. Now I'm done. Have fun, son. Boom!

Young Hollywood

Yes!
