Hi Hollywood Reporter, I'm Anna Sawai and I'm about to answer some questions.
00:04
Who are a few celebrities that you'd love to meet?
00:11
Oh, I would love to meet Dustin Hoffman. I love his work and I've seen interviews.
00:21
He seems like an angel and I would love to meet him.
00:24
Worst thing about being an actor?
00:28
Okay, it's going to be long. No.
00:31
The worst thing I guess is that people think that you lie well, which isn't the case.
00:37
I feel like we're so honest with our feelings so we're able to feel for the character,
00:43
but that doesn't mean we're good at faking things.
00:46
What's the best thing about an actor?
00:48
I think it's that we have a lot of sympathy, empathy. We really care, I think.
00:55
What is your go-to small talk at parties?
00:58
I'm actually only getting used to coming to parties like this,
01:02
but I guess the first thing I would ask is, how are you feeling?
01:07
Or what do you do maybe?
01:11
If it's a party with a lot of creatives, it's nice to know if they're a producer or a writer
01:16
and that kind of gets the conversation going.
01:18
What is your last meal?
01:21
It'll be a Japanese dish.
01:23
Either osoba, which is soba noodles, or natto, which is fermented beans on rice.
01:32
I love that. And you see Blackthorn eating it in Shogun.
01:35
The song that I've been playing a lot this summer is Benson Boone's Beautiful?
01:41
Is it Beautiful? Is that the song name?
01:45
Da da da da da da da da.
01:47
What is it? Is it Beautiful Things? Beautiful Things.
01:50
Yes.
01:51
Yeah. Love it.
01:53
Ah! The first red carpet I walked was F9's premiere.
01:57
It was back in 2021.
02:00
And I walked alongside Vin, Vin Diesel, Sung Kang.
02:08
There were so many more people that I'm not naming right now.
02:10
I've had a few drinks, but it was amazing.
02:13
Thank you guys so much! Love you!
