00:04at least two of the hottest hunks in Hollywood.
00:08First she locked lips with the heavenly Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black.
00:11Now the envy of American girls everywhere.
00:14Claire Forlani stars opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in Boys & Girls.
00:18I literally did everything in my power to make sure that he dumped me.
00:23Well,obviously you didn't like him.
00:25No!That's the thing is I thought it was just a summer fling.
00:29But I actually,I started to like him.
00:32Well what about you?
00:34I mean did you get any this summer?
00:36Well I,she said no.
00:39You've got the right idea.

00:51Sure.
00:54Good.
00:55Cute scene.Ladies and gentlemen the beautiful Claire Forlani.
00:58You have a really difficult job.You have such a difficult job working with Brad Pitt and then Freddie Prinze Jr.
01:21Yeah.
01:22How do you even handle the difficulties of life with that?
01:24It's very stressful.
01:25Is it?Yeah.
01:26I can imagine it would be very very difficult.
01:29The kissing scenes my God hazard pay.
01:31I know therapy has to go to three times a week instead of one.
01:35I wish we all had that problem.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Anyway boys and girls fun movie saw it yesterday but I understand that Freddie Prinze Jr. was kind of a prankster on the set all the time.
01:44Yes.
01:45Tell me about it.
01:46He tortured me.
01:47He tortured you?
01:48He extorted money.
01:49He tried to break my treadmill.
01:51Oh my God somebody call nightly news.
01:52Yeah.
01:53Nightly news.This is a story.
01:54It is.
01:55Really?
01:56Yes he did.
01:57Why would he do that?
01:58I think he thought it was fun and really with me it just made my anxiety level go through the roof.
02:04But it was fun right?
02:05It looked like you had a great time making the movie.
02:06It was so much fun making the movie and we actually said last night was the premiere and Jason and Freddie and I we just said it's the best time we've had on a film.
02:16And I actually didn't realize that making a comedy it's you have a much more playful time like the materials more playful so you end up just being more playful.
02:26Right.
02:27It's good.
02:28Having a good time.
02:29You know what's funny is people don't realize this but you actually grew up in London.
02:32Yes.
02:33Of course you have a British accent but I didn't realize that watching the film.
02:36Thank God.
02:37I could have been in trouble if you knew.
02:40Is it hard?
02:41Is it hard to do an American accent or how did you pick it up?
02:43How did you learn it?
02:44Well I've done quite a few films now with it so it's a little easier.
02:49But you know I just go around just copying people.
02:52Alright do an American accent like say you're in New York.
02:54How are you in New York?
02:55You know like what's up and how you doing?
02:57You want a cup of coffee?
02:58I think that's Jersey.
03:00That's a Jersey accent.
03:01That's okay.
03:02Close enough.
03:03Close enough.
03:04California you grew up in California do a California accent.
03:06How do they talk over there?
03:07I think that's you mean the valley like oh damn.
03:11I'm stuck in New York I've been talking to my driver Dom you know Dom.
03:14That's right.
03:15Dominic.
03:16You're getting it with the New York thing.
03:17I'm stuck in New York right now.
03:19Let's talk about your character in Boys and Girls and she plays kind of a free spirit and Freddie Prinz plays a sort of a nerd kind of guy.
03:26He's kind of conservative.
03:27He's planned his whole life.
03:28Right.
03:29And I have no plans.
03:30Is that you in real life?
03:33Some days.
03:34But how about in relationships when you're in a relationship or have you found the right guy?
03:41No.
03:42Are you looking?
03:43Sure.
03:44Should we put it out there?
03:45Yes.
03:46Okay.
03:47We'll get flooded with email if I put it out there.
03:48Great.
03:49Hand it over.
03:50Yeah.
03:51No Freddie's character he's got no plans and we become best friends and it's about opposites.
03:55attracting and then what happens when you have sex and does it change everything.
04:02And what did you think after you made the movie?
04:05I mean it's about the opposites and they attract they become friends kind of in mating and dating in the year 2000.
04:10What do you think after making the movie?
04:12Can you sleep together and still be friends?
04:14It's complicated.
04:15Not from practical experience I'm sure.
04:18Yeah.
04:19No.
04:20I think that it shows that it's very hard and it does change everything and I don't think there is any going back.
04:29Well let's talk about something else that you kind of love which is gambling.
04:33I read this about you.
04:34You did?
04:35You find it relaxing?
04:36Yes.
04:37Gambling?
04:38I find it zen.
04:39Really?
04:40I guess if you're winning it's kind of zen.
04:41No even if you're losing.
04:42Really?
04:43Yeah I have something about just sitting at the table and straight with strangers and counting to 21.
