What's up, guys? Nicki Novak here in the Young Hollywood Studio with the star of Total Recall, Georgie. Just kidding. Hey Georgie. How was it feeling Arnold Schwarzenegger's shoes? So, do you see a future in politics for you, Georgie? Do you feel the pressure of being in a remake, Georgie, of a film that's loved by so many people? Have you been asked the same questions over and over again? Can you feel in Arnold Schwarzenegger's balls? Can you do an Arnold impersonation? Do it. Do it.
Pretty good. It was all a mistake. Nobody.
Oh my God. Actually, Colin, the last time you were here was about a year ago. And this is actually, this interview isn't actually real. This is her implanted memory because she missed you so.
I pull back a little bit now, cuz I just don't want us to rush into anything.
Sorry, it's too late. Um. She's just divine. She put on a few pounds, too. She's been eating a lot of ice cream. She's been, you know, mourning the fact that you haven't been here.
No, what, darling? You've thickened out. You're Rubensque.
So, the film, Total Recall, loved it. But you actually, to get into character, you slept in the apartment. Did you sleep in your character's apartment?
I did. More of, I think probably just out of boredom. I mean, you're You're clutching, you're clutching at anything you can really find within arm's reach. And even beyond that at the start of the film, you know, just trying to get yourself ready and feel confident enough to do it. Whatever the film may be, if it's a small drama or a big action film like this.
Did you get worried about oversleeping and you?
No, not really, cuz I knew the carpenters would be in, cuz it wasn't finished. So, it wasn't going to be like Jessica Biel, who walks in and you're in your, you know, your skivvies or anything. No, no, no, no. That wouldn't be That wouldn't be hot at all. That wouldn't be cricket.
What the In the film, it's all There's a lot of like implanting memories and implanting, you know, your ultimate vacation. You know where I'm going with this, aren't you?
I don't know, but we're in Los Angeles and you're talking implants, so it's not that strange a conversation yet.
If you could put the little headset on and, you know, in the film they're sort of like, "Who do you want to be? Do you want to be a superhero for a day? Do you want to be, you know, president for a day?" Who would you be for a day?
Well, certainly not president. Not not this stable. That's a lot of responsibility. Um, who would I be for a day? I have to pick a footballer, you know? I'd have to pick a footballer. I'd pick
And you're talking, you're talking soccer, right?
Yeah, soccer, yeah. Yes, the football we actually use your foot. You know, more than twice in a game.
So who would be the footballer?
My dad. My dad.
Who would be the footballer? Wow.
Maybe I'd be maybe I'd be my dad as a kid.
Oh, that's sweet.
Maybe I'd be No, to get some answers. get some answers.
I know you just took a road trip. Didn't you just take a road trip across America?
I did a while ago, yeah. Done it a couple, a few times. And saw some great things. Saw some beautiful things. Hit some restaurants.
Yes, I know. I saw you gained a few pounds.
Yeah. Gained a few, yeah, yeah.
So was it a weight-gaining mission? Did you intentionally?
Do you know what I did? I said to myself, before I left, I said I'm giving myself 20 pounds.
Well, you only gained 15, right?
I only did 15, so I left it. There's still some left in the tank. So, I'll carry that I'll carry that 5 pounds over to the next one. I'll give myself 25 pounds in that. There we go.
But wasn't it a kind of a good, cuz I know when I sometimes gain a few. It's kind of a good feeling cuz we always have to be in this business. I mean, by the end of it, I was
When I got back to Los Angeles, I felt kind of sick, like I needed to be rolled from the car. I mean, it wasn't that dramatic, but I felt like, "Whoa, I just pushed so much bad stuff into my body." I literally put so much crap into my body in the space of Like I literally have some pizza for lunch and cheeseburgers for for dinner, and then loads of like, maybe 12 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups a day and and two malt shakes.
And when you were driving, like what are you listening to in your car? Like what are you into these days or is there any like
I just I love I everything. I mean, everything from from Radiohead to Pink Floyd, to to Billie Holiday, to The National, to I don't know, Talking Heads.
So, before I let you go, anything that you're into right now, like other than, you know, music, like fashion or
Fashion, it's all fashion.
Oh, fashion. God, it's not so bad. So, you're actually quite dressed up for me today, aren't you? It means
For sure. For sure. I knew I nearly tucked my t-shirt in as well.
And I noticed there's some black on your nails. That's yeah. Is that like a new?
No, I just I It's boredom. I painted a nail.
You do a lot of things out of boredom, don't you? Uh, yeah, I suppose. And I've noticed that Georgie has left you. Being stuff and she playing hard to get. She is. She's not after the last time. Georgie, was that good for you? Can we get a shot of her by any chance?
