00:00Hi, Hollywood Reporter. I'm Anna Sawai, and I'm about to answer some questions.

00:07Who are a few celebrities that you'd love to meet?

00:11Ooh, I would love to meet Dustin Hoffman.

00:17I love his work, and I've seen interviews.

00:21He seems like an angel, and I would love to meet him.

00:24Worst thing about being an actor!

00:27Okay, it's gonna be long.

00:30Um, no.

00:31The worst thing, I guess, is that people think that you lie well.

00:35Which isn't the case.

00:37I feel like we're so honest with our feelings,

00:39so we're able to feel for the character.

00:43But that doesn't mean we're good at faking things.

00:46What's the best thing about an actor?

00:48I think it's that we have a lot of sympathy, empathy.

00:52We really care, I think.

00:55What is your go-to small talk at parties?

00:58I'm actually only getting used to coming to parties like this.

01:02Um, but I guess the first thing I would ask is,

01:05How are you feeling?

01:07Um, or...

01:09What do you do, maybe?

01:11If it's a party with a lot of creatives,

01:13it's nice to know if they're a producer or a writer,

01:16and that kind of gets the conversation going.

01:18What is your last meal?

01:20Uh...

01:21It'll be a Japanese dish.

01:23Either osoba, which is soba noodles.

01:26Or...

01:27Um, natto, which is fermented beans on rice.

01:32I love that.

01:33And you see Blackthorn eating it in Shogun.

01:35The song that I've been playing a lot this summer

01:38is Benson Boone's...

01:40Beautiful?

01:41Is it Beautiful?

01:42Is that the song?

01:43Name?

01:44It is.

01:46What is it?

01:48Is it Beautiful Things?

01:49Beautiful Things?

01:50Yeah.

01:51Love it.

01:52Yeah.

01:53Ah!

01:54The first red carpet I walked was F9's premiere.

01:57It was back in 2021.

01:59Um, and I walked alongside Vin, Vin Diesel,

02:04um, Sung Kang.

02:07There were so many more people that I'm not naming right now.

02:10I've had a few drinks, but it was amazing.

02:13Thank you guys so much!

02:14Love you!
