00:00I'm actually, I'm in The White Lotus. It was so, it was like the maddest experience.
00:04Now people think I can't do an American accent. I can do an American accent.
00:08It's the teeth. Like no Americans have my teeth.
00:11It was like a really weird, dysfunctional family.
00:14You know that you are one of my favourite people to talk to.
00:17You're mine.
00:17So, it's always lovely and I was so excited when I saw that you'd got the part in The White Lotus.
00:23Like so excited, but I imagine no one was more excited than you, right, to get that call up?
00:27Yeah, it was pretty amazing. It was pretty amazing and how it happened was so cool as well.
00:31I'd done my like call back and they said,
00:35oh you did a really good, I got my agents were like you did a really good job,
00:38but it might be a little while before we know because they're seeing other people
00:41and then the next day I was out with my friends and I went to the loo and I checked my phone
00:47and it came up maybe Mike White, you know when it says maybe.
00:50It says maybe Mike White and it was like can't wait to work with you and all these missed calls.
00:56I was like oh my god, I'm actually, I'm in The White Lotus.
00:59It was so, it was like the maddest experience ever.
01:01The best.
01:02Yeah.
01:02But from what I've seen so far, I feel like I'm just watching you on screen.
01:07Does, is she very similar to you?
01:10She is so similar and I was like always watching The White Lotus going how would,
01:14what would be my in?
01:15I don't know where I want to be in this show because I'm such a fan,
01:18but I don't know where I'd fit.
01:20I can't see myself in it and then getting those audition sides through.
01:23Yes.
01:23And her talking about the astrology and the this and the that
01:26and I was like, okay, this might be my way in,
01:29but it's also like sometimes it's harder playing someone that's really close to you
01:34because it's way more vulnerable.
01:36Oh, yes.
01:37Like because you have to like instead of kind of, yeah,
01:40you've got to shed, basically all you're doing is shedding.
01:43Right.
01:43And showing everyone essentially like who you are.
01:48So it's like it was quite a vulnerable experience because she was,
01:51obviously there are differences between us
01:53and I, Helen McCrory used to make like a list of similarities
01:57and differences between her and the character
01:59and then she'd often when she was struggling with the merge,
02:03when it gets a bit too close,
02:04she would go and look at the differences and be like,
02:07so that was quite helpful with Chelsea to be like,
02:08but what's different about me and Chelsea and going there,
02:12but there was so many natural just crossovers
02:16and you always kind of see it's a helpful thing to do when you get a part,
02:19to be like what resonates in me,
02:22but there was so much of her
02:24and I was like this might be quite a vulnerable experience
02:26because I think Mike does that though.
02:27I think Mike casts people that have the same essence as the character.
02:33Yeah.
02:34She's so likable though.
02:35So at least like we know that we're going to like you.
02:38Oh, yeah.
02:39So that's good.
02:40She is, bless her.
02:41She's blessed.
02:43But what was this about the accent?
02:46Like they didn't like your American accent?
02:48Yeah, this is so, it's so funny how words just get twisted
02:51because now people think I can't do an American accent.
02:53I can do an American accent.
02:55I don't doubt you, I don't.
02:56But they might just wanted my Manchester one.
02:58So I did one tape in American and one tape in my own
03:02and he said let's just Manchester and he made it from Manchester.
03:05Exactly, you're bringing the British energy to the White Lotus.
03:08And it works, like it works for her I think,
03:11but yeah, my American accent,
03:13I also, I just don't think I look very American at all.
03:16You don't?
03:16Like at all.
03:17But saying that, I'm sure the time will come
03:20and you will very much disappear into your American role
03:23when the time comes.
03:24It's the teeth, like no Americans have my teeth.
03:27Oh my God, you need to get veneers, don't you?
03:30Because like that's, I think that genuinely is like one of the things,
03:33like I played an American in a play in Chicago.
03:36Yes.
03:36And this guy after in the bar was like,
03:38he was talking to me and I spoke to him and I spoke like this
03:40and he went, I knew it.
03:43I knew it because he was like your accent was great,
03:45but I knew you weren't American.
03:46Why did he just die?
03:47You just don't look American.
03:48Teeth, everyone always says it, don't they?
03:50It's the teeth that give us away.
03:51I'm like, well, sorry for having on.
03:53Yeah, yes.
03:55Sorry.
03:56You were paired up with Walton Goggins in here though,
03:58who, I love him, he is hilarious.
04:00Was he as hilarious to work with?
04:02He's so, every day is an adventure with him.
04:06He is the most carpe diem person.
04:09I feel like you would also be like that though.
04:11But I'm a bit of a worrier
04:13and I'm a bit like, I can go very not present.
04:16I can space out and he's so present
04:20and everything was an adventure.
04:22Like, it was like, what's today going to be?
04:25It was just so exciting.
04:27Yeah.
04:27Like, he approaches every day like it's the last day.
04:30Love that.
04:31And that is so fun to be around.
04:33It's great to be around people like that.
04:34Yeah, and such a contrast from his character as well.
04:36Like, it's kind of like...
04:38Very down.
04:39Yeah, yeah.
04:41But other than Walton, when you weren't with him,
04:44who were you hanging out with at this cast?
04:46Because it's an amazing cast.
04:47Yeah, everyone.
04:48Everyone is so incredible.
04:51But me and Lesley were like...
04:52Lesley Beard were like sisters
04:54and we spent so much time together
04:56and we did trips together.
04:57And we just...
04:58What did you guys do?
04:59We went to Tokyo,
05:00which was so amazing.
05:02Oh my God.
05:03The best place, because we were like,
05:04well, we're in Asia, so we should go to Japan
05:07because when are we going to be this close to Japan again?
05:10But it's actually still quite far.
05:12But it was the best time
05:14and we just hung out so much,
05:16like listening to music.
05:17Walton was there a lot too.
05:18We were a bit of a three.
05:20But Patrick was so...
05:23He was like...
05:24Honestly, like he brought me down.
05:26Like, it was like I was floating off
05:28and he would just be like,
05:28there you go, you're fine.
05:30Like, he's so steady and comforting
05:34and like...
05:35And then Nick, who plays Zion.
05:37But everyone, to be honest,
05:38the late like Michelle and Natasha and Carrie,
05:40like everyone, everyone.
05:42Charlotte, who plays Chloe.
05:44Because you're all living right at the hotel,
05:46so I imagine it's just a big party.
05:49It was a lot of...
05:51It was like a really weird, dysfunctional family.
05:55Great.
05:56So dysfunctional.
05:56The best kind, the best kind.
05:58Yeah.
05:59Did you make the most of being in Thailand?
06:02Like, there's a lot to do, to see, be adventurous.
06:06Did you do all of that?
06:08Yeah, yeah.
06:09I got quite like...
06:10Like, in my little room, it was so nice.
06:12It's like my little room in Koh Samui.
06:14But it was great when we moved to Fisherman's Village,
06:16which is like the main little strip in Koh Samui
06:19of like all the bars and the cafes.
06:20Because then I was like going out and doing normal things,
06:23like getting coffees and speaking to people
06:25that weren't in the cast and crew.
06:26And like, but Bangkok as well.
06:28Amazing.
06:29It's the best city.
06:30I've never been, I'd love to go.
06:31It's the best city.
06:33There is this restaurant called Jua.
06:35J-U-A.
06:37And Far, who runs it, is the coolest Aquarius woman ever.
06:40We're good friends.
06:41Well, we made such, and we, like there was a point
06:44where like me, Walton, and Leslie were going like every night
06:46to this place, and they have the best whiskey sours
06:48and the best food that I've ever had in my whole life.
06:52You're doing a great job of selling it to me.
06:54It's the best place on earth.
06:55Like, I actually miss it.
06:56Like, sometimes at night, I'm like,
06:57please take me back to Bangkok.
06:58Oh my God.
06:59Well, we've got this to remember it by.
07:01Yeah.
07:02At least.
07:02Exactly.
07:03Like I said, I'm so happy to see you in here.
07:07To see you just like rising as you have from the very start.
07:10Like, it's so wonderful.
07:12And this is only going to do great things for you.
07:13So, I can't wait to see what comes next from you, Amy.
07:17Hopefully, we get to hear that American accent.
07:19I hope so.
07:20Very soon.
07:20If I can prove it.
07:21I haven't made you do it in here, so.
07:23No, no.
07:23And also, it would be that classic thing
07:25where I just completely mess up if I tried to do it now,
07:27and that would just not help my case at all.
07:29But it's coming, because this is just
07:30going to open even more doors.
07:32They've already seen how talented you are anyway, but.
07:35So, I'll get my fake teeth, and then I can play with you there.
07:37Fake teeth.
07:38There you go.
07:39Yeah.
