00:00I think I got 12 million followers in two weeks, but then I'd go out and nobody would

00:05recognize me.

00:06I think the blonde hair on Wednesday sort of threw people off.

00:09Hi, Cosmo.

00:10I'm Emma Myers, and this is Cosmo Goes Deep.

00:15Cosmo, take one.

00:18Strangest part of being 23 but playing a teenager?

00:21Shooting in schools, honestly, because I didn't get to go to school.

00:24I was homeschooled.

00:25Whenever I get a long wig on or extensions, I instantly look 14.

00:31When I'm like, oh my god, 12-year-old me.

00:34That's crazy.

00:36My flirting strategy is not to flirt.

00:39I let them do the work.

00:40I just be myself.

00:41I think that's the best flirty strategy you can have.

00:45Oh, there's a lot of people that I haven't worked with that I'd love to.

00:48I'd love to work with Steven Yeun one day.

00:50He's got a great filmography.

00:51Saoirse Ronan, love her.

00:53I love sci-fi.

00:54So maybe a sci-fi?

00:55Cos I'm dying to do one.

00:57Oh my god, this keeps me up at night.

01:00There's so many scenes where I've gone to bed after work and been like,

01:03Ugh!

01:04If I had only done that.

01:05It was my second day on Wednesday, season one.

01:07The first day was fine because that was my audition scene and I had done it a million times,

01:11so I felt like I had that nailed.

01:12But the second scene, there's a scene where me and Wednesday are on the balcony

01:16and I remember just freaking out about it, which it actually looks fine.

01:19I think just for my sake, I'd go back and reshoot that and tell myself to chill out.

01:23Which co-star gives the best dating advice?

01:25Danielle Brooks.

01:26She's my girl.

01:27I go to her for everything.

01:28When did I first think I was actually famous?

01:31It's strange because the blonde hair on Wednesday sort of threw people off.

01:35After Good Girls season one came out, I was getting it a lot more and I think it's

01:39because I actually looked like myself.

01:40I would just be walking down the streets of Dublin.

01:42I was shooting Wednesday season two at the time.

01:45Any time I'd walk down Temple Bar area, I'd get it.

01:48That was definitely a crazy, crazy time.

01:50I would probably be starstruck by Oscar Isaac.

01:53If I ever met Oscar Isaac, I think I would not be able to speak.

01:57If I ever met him, I'd just turn into a statue.

02:00The secret to chemistry.

02:03Honestly, just get along.

02:04Just be friends.

02:05There's a good scene in season one of Good Girls between me and Asha Banks.

02:09We're laying on this picnic blanket talking about what it means to be a good person.

02:14The two of us are so close.

02:15She's one of my best friends.

02:17I think our chemistry in real life translated on screen because we're supposed to be really,

02:20really best friends.

02:21But I remember shooting that scene and being like, yeah, this is going to be good.

02:25I think mine's acts of service.

02:27I like doing stuff for people.

02:28I like getting things for people.

02:30And I think that's the same way in return.

02:33There's definitely common misconceptions about homeschooling.

02:36One, that we're smarter than everybody else.

02:38Not the case most of the time.

02:39I suck at standardized testing because I never had to take a test.

02:44So me going through my SAT prep was hell.

02:48Also, that we're dorky.

02:50Actually, maybe that is a bit true.

02:51But we're definitely not smarter than everybody.

02:54Maybe a little bit, but like not super, super smart.

02:58Yeah, first date red flags.

03:00If they're overly negative on a first date, that just kind of shows you that they're going

03:04to be negative in the entirety of the relationship.

03:07So try to be positive on a first date.

03:09Fashion hot take, I want to get it off my chest.

03:12I'm not a big neon person, but that's just a color.

03:15I'm not the biggest skinny jeans fan, but I wore skinny jeans all the time when I was a teenager.

03:19Can't have that hate on them.

03:20They look good on some people, just not me.

03:22I want to say, I don't really pay attention to other people's styles too much to care.

03:25Wear what you want.

03:26If I don't like it, I don't care.

03:28I'm not wearing it.

03:29Go right ahead.

03:30What makes me feel the most confident on a red carpet?

03:34A red carpet is not always the most comfortable experience, but I think hair and makeup and

03:39styling always helps you feel more comfortable because it can be such a weird experience.

03:43You can kind of put on this persona.

03:45It kind of helps guard you against the millions of people shouting at you to look this way,

03:49that way.

03:50I wore this really great Chloe dress to our Mexico City screening for Minecraft.

03:56Loved it.

03:57Felt like a little fairy.

03:58It's very like boho.

03:59That was definitely one of my favorites.

04:03Thanks on the first day.

04:04I just don't like people who have mopey down attitudes all the time, and they just want

04:09to complain.

04:10Oh my God.

04:11Just be happy for once.

04:12Geez.

04:13Would you rather be late to set or forget your lines?

04:16Late to set.

04:17Read the comments or stay blissfully unaware.

04:18Unaware.

04:19Do you have a burner account?

04:20No.

04:21What's the one thing you present about one of your characters?

04:22How it changes people's perception of me.

04:24Have you ever met an island and let you down?

04:26Yes.

04:27I'm not going to say.

04:28What fandoms are you proudly part of?

04:32Video games in general.

04:33Date and actors?

04:34Good idea.

04:35Yes or no?

04:36Depends.

04:37On the situation.

04:38Do you want to call with your ex or drop the number?

04:39Depends on the ex.

04:40What's your main story to the local actor quality?

04:42I'm dramatic.

04:44I need to have a lighting round.

04:46Yeah.

04:47Thanks so much for watching and be sure to check out Wednesday Season 2.
