00:00That day that that stuff came out, we were filming a scene and I couldn't stop staring at your mouth.
00:04I was like, wow!
00:07Hi, I'm Lily Collins.
00:08And I'm Ashley Park.
00:09And today we're going to let Elle ask us anything.
00:13Okay.
00:14When did you know we would become best friends?
00:17Oh my God.
00:19I think I knew the second that our mutual agent.
00:24Kevin.
00:25Yes, yeah.
00:26He called me and he said, okay, so I have this amazing client.
00:30She's going for Mindy.
00:31I can't speak highly enough about her.
00:33Here are the reasons why I love her.
00:34I think you're going to love her.
00:35And I love Kevin.
00:36And so I was like, whoever Kevin is vouching for, I know.
00:39And the way that he was speaking about you, I was like, I have this feeling that life is
00:43going to imitate art.
00:44And I just kind of knew.
00:45And then when we met at the table read, I was like, oh, done deal.
00:48I knew that we were going to be like really connected and close as soon as we met.
00:53And I think our first day on set was really like our first time hanging out.
00:56Like it was my first time really in that like kind of high stakes environment.
01:01And you were just so there for me.
01:03And I was like, oh, this is going to be like a soul sister, best friend who's looking out
01:07for me always.
01:08So yeah.
01:08What is your most embarrassing on set story?
01:11I mean, not embarrassing.
01:13I think before me and Paul started dating, like the weekend of Lily took me time.
01:19I was like, what's going on with you two?
01:21And I was like, nothing, Lily.
01:23Like, trust me, nothing.
01:24I'm a professional.
01:26And then like and then we started dating and I was like, I've lied to Lily the entire time.
01:32It's embarrassing because Lily was like, Ashley, I know you.
01:34I know you so well.
01:35I was like, Lily, you apparently don't.
01:38Yeah, you know me very well.
01:39You definitely know me better than I know myself.
01:42Which of Emily's love interests is your favorite and least favorite?
01:46I mean, I don't know.
01:49You had like a bunch, season one.
01:52I would say the poetic guy that I met at Café de Fleur.
01:58Oh, the one in the opera?
01:59Bloop, at the opera house.
02:01I would probably say that that was my least favorite.
02:03That character, yeah.
02:04Yeah, that character.
02:05I mean, he was lovely, but like the character.
02:07And then I would say favorite.
02:10That's like, I mean, isn't that the question?
02:13Isn't that the question?
02:14I'll say a favorite that's like so not about like who she's going to end up with or whatever.
02:18When there's that one love interest first season, he was like, I like American.
02:23Oh my God.
02:24That guy was so funny.
02:25No, you know what's actually, which I think we all enjoy like laughing through our scenes
02:30is Timothée.
02:30Oh, Timothée.
02:31He's such a great actor.
02:32He's so funny.
02:33And he opens our season four.
02:35Yeah, he opens our season four.
02:36And like, honestly, all of our scenes with Camille's family are so funny.
02:42And like the attempts that he makes towards Emily are hilarious.
02:46We have fun like sparring back and forth.
02:48That's like a favorite to watch.
02:49Yeah.
02:50If you could raid the JVMA brand closet in real life, what would you grab first?
02:54Oh, it's really fun to throw that.
02:58It really is.
02:59I always gravitate towards shoes first.
03:01Shoes and purses.
03:02Yeah.
03:02Was this me or like Mindy?
03:04No.
03:05Me?
03:05I think honestly something like pretty versatile, like that I could pair with everything.
03:10There was a pair of like Versace shoes that I was like, okay, that's like, that was the
03:12first thing I picked up.
03:14Nice.
03:14And some like Valentino pumps too.
03:16I think I would always go towards a purse.
03:17It's just the way my mind works.
03:19I love bags.
03:21It's not kryptonite.
03:22Bags, all sizes.
03:25What advice would you give to someone stuck in a love triangle?
03:30Don't make it a square.
03:31I mean, yeah, don't make things more complicated.
03:33I don't know.
03:34Always just go back to yourself and listen to yourself and don't let yourself be highly
03:39impacted and influenced by outside sources.
03:42And it depends on what part of the triangle you're into.
03:45It depends on if you're the point of it and there's two people after you or if you're
03:48one of the other ends of it.
03:51Like the other side.
03:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:52It does.
03:53It's true actually.
03:54Situational.
03:55What is the most iconic Eurovision song?
03:57Windows 95 man.
03:59Epic performance.
04:01He strategically covered himself the entire performance, but on camera it looked like
04:05he was naked.
04:06And it was just the most like iconic Eurovision moment.
04:09Wait, I gotta see it.
04:10I mean, it was so funny.
04:11Kyle Hanagami, who's a friend of mine, he choreographed on our show this year.
04:15He choreographed the winning Eurovision artist, Chanel, like a couple of years ago.
04:21And that was like the most iconic performance I've ever seen.
04:23Eurovision is no joke.
04:25How did you perfect your character's scream face in Maxine?
04:28Oh, funny story.
04:30Oh my God, your mouth is huge.
04:32Yeah, well, she did say that to me.
04:34But have you seen?
04:36No, that's not what I was gonna say.
04:38What I was gonna say is, so my director, Ty West, he said to me, so we're thinking
04:43of doing this with your scream and it's gonna become a head.
04:45And we need to like make sure that the scream is like perfected.
04:47And like, I need to know what it's gonna look like.
04:49So we're gonna do a digital scan and blah, blah, blah.
04:50He's like, can you just like send me some selfies?
04:52It's like, but you weren't what you're thinking.
04:54I'm like, okay, how do you do that?
04:56So I sat like on a chair and I was like, ah, I was like by myself in my house.
05:03But I like took selfies of myself screaming.
05:05It was so weird.
05:06Like people think that poster, that photo of her is like somehow like computerized in
05:10some way.
05:10That's just my mouth.
05:12It's really big, I guess.
05:13I don't know.
05:14The day that that stuff came out, we were filming a scene and I couldn't stop staring
05:17at your mouth.
05:18I was like, wow.
05:21How would you describe Meryl Streep's presence in one word?
05:26There's so many words.
05:28The first word that popped in my head was effervescent.
05:30Oh, that's a great word.
05:31Oh, great.
05:31Then that's what it is.
05:32It's a great word.
05:33What's one proper wardrobe piece you've taken from set?
05:36Oh, there was this like fuzzy purse season one that I loved.
05:40But the only reason I really loved it is that it was like an emotional support animal when
05:44Ashley wrapped and left.
05:46So the purse sat on my chair and I called it Ashley because it was like my little thing
05:51I would pet.
05:51What?
05:52You have to tell me that.
05:53I still have it.
05:53It's in my closet.
05:54Oh, but I love it.
05:55Wait, I love it.
05:56Okay.
05:56Oh, what does a date night in Paris with Paul consist of?
06:00Oh, probably.
06:02Well, this past year, my health wasn't great.
06:05So we would do Deliveroo a lot and sit on the couch and watch a lot of like movies and
06:09stuff.
06:10That's so sweet.
06:10Yeah, we're very like Netflix and chill.
06:12Netflix.
06:15But probably just like walking around and like finding a new restaurant that's gluten
06:20free because he's celiac.
06:22What real life celebrity should Emily take on as a client?
06:26She doesn't need my help, but I would take on Victoria Beckham.
06:30Oh, love that.
06:31Doesn't need my help.
06:32She's killing it.
06:33But like I really would be down.
06:36That'd be fun.
06:36I would love to see what like Emily would do with that.
06:39Oh, it would just be a dream.
06:41Or David.
06:42We could market David's honey.
06:45Honey?
06:45David Beckham makes honey.
06:47I didn't even know that.
06:48And there you go.
06:49He keeps bees and we could maybe, you know, help with the honey.
06:53Love it.
06:53Keep it in the family.
06:55A little sweet.
06:56Which of Mindy's musical performances was the most fun to film?
06:58This year?
06:59Definitely in Rome.
07:01That was special.
07:01And it was also that musical moment was my rapping scene.
07:05And it was magical.
07:06You're so good at that.
07:07And it was a beautiful location.
07:09It was with you.
07:10And it felt very emotional.
07:12It was really emotional.
07:13If you could cameo on any other TV show, what would it be?
07:18Honestly, any of the Real Housewives.
07:20Really?
07:21Oh my God.
07:21Love this.
07:22I thought you were gonna say Great British Bake Off.
07:24I would.
07:24I would.
07:25I mean, totally Great British Bake Off.
07:26But like, honestly, I'd pop into any Housewives.
07:28Oh my God.
07:29You heard it here.
07:30Someone, someone get her.
07:32If blank was an Olympic sport, I'd win a gold medal.
07:36Oh, I mean, I wish it would be.
07:38I'm really into gardening these days.
07:40You are.
07:41But it would not be a gold medal.
07:42We're like not even in bronze category.
07:44Your pesto is great.
07:46Yeah.
07:47Prized pesto.
07:48Yeah, I like gardening these days.
07:49But that's probably not it.
07:50Yeah.
07:50I thought you were asking about you.
07:52I was like, honestly, what would I win?
07:54I was gonna say, I don't know.
07:55It's not you, but I just thought of Charlie playing pickleball.
07:58And I was like, thinking about how mean.
07:59I suck at pickleball.
08:00We've been playing pickleball.
08:01We're like, why isn't this an Olympic sport?
08:03Well, that's your answer.
08:04I would not win gold.
08:06Maybe napping in public places.
08:07Maybe you would like the slates.
08:08Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:09What's one fashion trend you regret participating in?
08:12Oh, I don't even know if it was a trend, but I trended it.
08:15Like it wasn't a trend.
08:16Okay.
08:17I definitely wore like blue metallic lipstick for a while.
08:23What?
08:23With your big screen mouth.
08:26Just with like literally every outfit known to man.
08:28And I love blue leopard print too.
08:31So I have like photos of like blue leopard print,
08:33like top and like pants and then like blue lipstick.
08:36Like I need to see these immediately.
08:39Yeah, it's a thing.
08:40Oh my gosh, love that.
08:42Yeah.
08:42And baggy cargoes.
08:44I was really into like the mid-half leggings.
08:47Oh, like Capri?
08:48No, those leggings, like I had to like blue, navy, gray.
08:50Did you put them like underneath skirts or anything?
08:53Yeah, I threw them on with everything.
08:54With moon boots too.
08:56Moon boots.
08:57Oh my God.
08:58Okay, yeah.
09:02Okay, last question.
09:03What is your go-to karaoke song?
09:05I had never participated in karaoke before Rome
09:09because I always was that person,
09:10like people expect you to sing well.
09:12And then I was like always in the corner
09:13having the heart to heart.
09:14Like if we went to karaoke, we would be chatting.
09:16Yeah.
09:16Yeah, always.
09:17And then, I mean, also we would definitely do a Spice Girls song.
09:20For sure.
09:21But I ended up at, Nikki, my assistant,
09:24had me meet her at a Irish pub in Rome
09:27where it was mostly like stag do's
09:29and like bachelorette parties and like college kids.
09:31What did you sing?
09:32Kelly Clarkson, Since You've Been Gone.
09:34Oh, that's a banger.
09:37That's a banger.
09:38Didn't sound great.
09:40It's Ashley Park singing, I'm sure it was a banger.
09:43Thanks so much for watching.
