Magic. Oh, my God. Tell me she can still wear that. There's got to be something you can do here. This is housekeeping. Not Project Runway. Funny cast. We just had Rebel on the sofa. Yes. Very funny lady. She is one funny lady. A national treasure. And you can claim that, even though she's Australian.

Exactly, it's not our nation. But just just take it. Just take it. My nation. I hate you. I hate you. I'm going to walk in wearing my pajamas, like a Michael Jackson. Ah, sometimes I'm funny. My family always says, "Ah, you're not funny." Sometimes They they must they must have high standards of funny. Yeah, cuz I mean movies, I would like to visit them. Right. TV shows, work professionally as a comedian. But you're still not funny to them. Yeah, to them, I'm just not not funny.

Young Hollywood

You're pretty crazy in the movie. Yeah. Um, which obviously, not in life at all. No. And very sensible in life. So that must have been amazing for you to act out that part.

Comedy Matrimony

Yes, it was great. No. Fight. Get in the cab. Isn't that dress supposed to be on you? Just get in the cab. Sir. Sir, I will hear you. You get us there in two minutes. I think we might be met for each other. And I'm not kidding. This guy, Look, and it's not just because we have like the greatest sex, I Whoa. I play Becky. He's part of a group of four friends. Right. The other lovely ladies, Kirsten Dunst, Isla Fisher, and Lizzie Caplan.

Young Hollywood

Ugly cast.

Comedy Matrimony

Yeah. Yeah. Horrible to look at. But my character, Becky, is kind of like the fourth wheel to the other three girls. Right. She's not as cool. I know when I first met all the girls, when we did a table read before we started filming, I did feel like I was like the most uncool cuz those girls are super cool.

Young Hollywood

I think you're the coolest out of the bunch. And I'm not just saying that. I will gladly say to each one of them when they sit on the side. Really? I am wearing a T-shirt with a bear on it.

Young Hollywood

Um, have you ever been a bridesmaid?

Comedy Matrimony

Have. You have? And a maid of honor for my sister. Yes.

Young Hollywood

Wow. Wow. And that went down better, obviously.

Comedy Matrimony

It did. Uh, being a maid of honor is very very hard work. They don't tell you that you're basically just the bride's assistant. And when that bride is your sister, then she really uh forces that role. It was really fun to film because we shot on location in New York. Right. Um, and a lot of it in a hotel. So we like just running wild throughout the hotel. As your plan. Yeah. That's good run. Yeah, it's good run. Yeah, that's just how I do. That's Ah, filming. I actually got my DNA tested, and I have the athletic gene.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, this is true. This is true. Yeah. Okay. It cost $600. You can get this done. To get your DNA tested, and they look for certain things, like, of course, like bad stuff, like if you have any diseases or

Young Hollywood

It wasn't just to find out if you could be an Olympian.

Comedy Matrimony

Yeah. But I have the elite athlete gene. Wow. Most people who are elite athletes have. You You lick the sidewalk, I'll let it go. I'm a little like like a cat like Like a cat like

Comedy Matrimony

It is. Yes, there is demand for it. There is demand for it.

Young Hollywood

It must make you feel amazing.

Comedy Matrimony

It makes me feel pretty good. They can watch it in the comfort of their own homes, which I like to see as an appetizer course. To then when you go to the theater to watch it for the second, third, and tenth time.

Young Hollywood

You're getting greedy, Lizzie. I just I just need a repeat performance from the audience on this one. You're getting greedy. And you used to hallucinate. Is this right? Because I have to be careful. I don't know with your You used to hallucinate that you were going to win an Oscar.

Comedy Matrimony

Well, what happened, not in my regular everyday life. I wouldn't hallucinate, cuz that would be mental. But uh, what happened is that I was living in Africa, and I got malaria really bad. Malaria is like crazy ass

Young Hollywood

That's not good. It's worse than the cold.

Comedy Matrimony

Yeah. It's pretty bad. You feel like you're here, but your body's over there. Right. And so I was in hospital, of course, cuz you could die if you didn't get professional medical treatment.

Young Hollywood

And you did get professional medical.

Comedy Matrimony

So I did, and but as part of the treatment, they give you all these drugs. And so you're just kind of there hallucinating. And I hallucinated that I was an actress, and that was really good. And that I won an Oscar. And I went up on the stage, and instead of giving a speech, I did an acceptance rap.

Young Hollywood

Brilliant. And Can you remember it?

Comedy Matrimony

I kind of can remember it, because the hallucination was so real. I was in hospital for two weeks just going ah, thinking I was like a brilliant actress the whole time. It's brilliant. And I and I got up at the Oscars and was like when the award, and I was like, "Yeah, listen up, y'all. I got something to say. It's about this award that I won today." And I was like, and it keeps going. It is brilliant. And the crowd loved it cuz at the Oscars, people are quite serious. And when I came out of my hallucinogenic state, I started saying to everyone, "I'm going to be an actress," and I was 18 at the time. And people are like, "Why?" You're big. It had really kicked in. Yeah, people thought my brain had really got messed up.
