00:00Charming and tall.
00:02Why don't you take this one?
00:03No, no, of course.
00:04I just wanted to get all that out of the way so you feel like obligated.
00:07So I don't feel like I have to say all those things. You're right.
00:09Well, now I have nothing.
00:15Hi, I'm Kate Sarmiento from Cosmopolitan, Philippines,
00:17and I want to welcome you to the Philippines again.
00:20Thank you very much.
00:21So my first question is for Rachel.
00:24How would you describe David as a co-star, as Clark Kent, and as Superman?
00:29Are you ready to take all these compliments about yourself?
00:32You just spat your little eye on it.
00:34You could say bad things too. I hate criticism very well.
00:37You do actually.
00:39No, one of the things I'm continually struck by is how much David embodies effortlessly.
00:47Clark, Superman, all the different versions of both of those characters.
00:52And I think, you know, I've heard David be asked what playing this character has brought to him.
00:57But truthfully, one of the things I'm the most excited about in terms of sharing this film with the world
01:03is for them to meet this generation's Superman.
01:07It's been such a privilege to watch David so effortlessly step into Superman's tall boots.
01:16Actually takes a lot of work to get into those boots.
01:18No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:20A shoehorn.
01:21Really?
01:22Yeah.
01:23There was a shoehorn?
01:24Tell me not.
01:25I wouldn't have known it because it felt effortless.
01:27But no, I mean, David's one of those people who somehow, I said this earlier, but has the ability to be radically present
01:33and make everybody feel like they're the only person in the room and also somehow have an eye 360 degrees around him on everything else.
01:42You just have this feeling being around David that if this light were to fall right now, that without breaking eye contact, you would catch it.
01:51I have absolutely no doubt, and if anyone could take this mantle of this person who has brought so much hope and goodness into the world,
02:01I think David's the person to do it.
02:06What's something about Gratia that surprised you when you started filming together?
02:10My striking beauty, eloquence, my weight.
02:20I hate surprises.
02:21And one thing that I found about Rachel was that she was extremely reliable.
02:28I was going to say predictable, but no, I wasn't going to say predictable.
02:31Reliable in a really comforting sense.
02:33There are a lot of things when you're making a movie that are unpredictable and go wrong or are just different from what you expected.
02:41Little things, big things, and I felt from the beginning.
02:44One thing that often happens is people get fed up with me.
02:49I wouldn't say I'm difficult, but I have quirks about me that can be stressful.
02:54I love to argue.
02:56But so, to have in you a scene partner and just a friend through the shooting process who I felt I could rely upon and was always going to be there for me
03:09and was going to give me space to do my weird things and was going to take the space that you needed to do your fun weird things,
03:17I never felt like I had to worry about you or what you were thinking about me.
03:21I felt like you were my, like we were partners in it, ultimately.
03:26Sort of against the forces that, you know, the slings and arrows that try to throw you off balance.
03:32And that was really, it's not always that way.
03:35And it was really great to have that, especially for this movie.
03:37In a really beautiful way, these movies can feel, I mean, they are so big.
03:42And something that I was so struck by from, from even the camera test,
03:47but from the first couple of days of shooting.
03:49You don't remember the camera test.
03:51I really don't.
03:52I really remember being like, hi, where are you from?
03:54And that's the end.
03:55And then I was back in New York.
03:57But is that it felt, in a really beautiful way, so small.
04:03And I feel like I felt exactly the same way.
04:07And I feel like we somehow found a way to keep it feeling very small.
