00:00It's shocking how much goes down your shirt. It's actually...

00:06Hi, I'm Jessica Chastain, and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.

00:11What is the best gift you've received? Someone made me a photo album, like scrapbook. It was really sweet because they had collected

00:20things, not just the pictures, but like tickets and

00:24and poems, and they glued some sand in from a certain beach. It was very, very sweet.

00:35Word your friends would use to describe you. Loyal, super loyal.

00:40Oh my god, why does it do that? Last song you got stuck in your head. I'm around kids a lot,

00:48so I tend to get a lot of kids songs stuck in my head. I don't know, probably Frozen. That's like a...

00:53That's the go-to in our house. Word that makes you cringe. Cringe, actually. I'm so sick of that word.

01:00I think it's really cringey.

01:04Last book I read. I read Joan Didion's

01:12Slouching Towards Bethlehem. I was in Austria this summer. Great short stories. The one in San

01:19Francisco. Ooh, that was rough. How did you make your first dollar? Probably cleaning people's

01:28like bathrooms. When I was a little kid, I had this theater group, I guess, that I started in my

01:39neighborhood, and we would go door to door and clean people's houses, and we were called the

01:44Dirtbusters. So we sang the Ghostbusters song. Yeah. Ooh, two for one. What should every woman try

01:54at least once in her life? Everything. You should try everything at least once in your life. Guilty

02:00pleasure watch on TV or streamer. I'm a housewife's person. I hate it so much.

02:13Do you have any secret talents? Um, I can... It's not really a secret, but I can do this.

02:21Like a witch, like bewitched. But now you all know, I'm a witch.

02:30Go-to late night snack. Wine. Delicious wine. And...

02:42What makes you feel most powerful and confident? Um, actually when I'm eating healthy food.

02:48I, uh, I definitely notice a change in my mood when I'm eating junk food that tastes so good.

02:58And when I'm, when I eat healthy for a few days, I feel like I'm a superhero and...

03:05I just gotta keep reminding myself that.

03:06What advice would you give your younger self?

03:10People are happier with you when you stop trying to please them.

03:15The number one thing on your bucket list. It would probably be...

03:26Well, I don't know because there are things I want to do, but it's not like the thing I want to do before I die.

03:32Um, but like I've always wanted to go to Nepal. That would be really special.

03:38Those are done. My last one.

03:43My most starstruck moment. It had to have been when I met Gary Oldman. It was 2011

03:50on the red carpet at the Palm Springs. Oh, and Oprah. Hmm. Both I started crying. Both my starstruck

03:58moments. It was, uh, Gary Oldman approached me at the Palm Springs Film Festival, red carpet,

04:04after I was just talking about him in an interview saying that I saw him at lunch earlier today and

04:09I was too shy to go up. And then he approached me and said he saw me at lunch earlier in the day

04:13and he was too shy to come up to me, which was insane. Um, and then when I met Oprah,

04:20I tried to avoid her now because I really embarrassed myself. I like, I think Anne Hathaway

04:26introduced me to her of some event and I turned around and she's like, have you met Oprah? And I

04:32looked at her and I, I again started crying. And I think I said, as I was crying, you raised me,

04:40which is probably an uncomfortable thing for a stranger to tell you, but she was very gracious and,

04:45um, graceful. So yeah, that's it. That's my pop quiz. Thanks for watching.
