Hi, Hollywood Reporter. I'm Anna Sawai, and I'm about to answer some questions.
00:07
Who are a few celebrities that you'd love to meet?
00:11
Ooh, I would love to meet Dustin Hoffman.
00:17
I love his work, and I've seen interviews.
00:21
He seems like an angel, and I would love to meet him.
00:24
Worst thing about being an actor!
00:27
Okay, it's gonna be long.
00:30
Um, no.
00:31
The worst thing, I guess, is that people think that you lie well.
00:35
Which isn't the case.
00:37
I feel like we're so honest with our feelings,
00:39
so we're able to feel for the character.
00:43
But that doesn't mean we're good at faking things.
00:46
What's the best thing about an actor?
00:48
I think it's that we have a lot of sympathy, empathy.
00:52
We really care, I think.
00:55
What is your go-to small talk at parties?
00:58
I'm actually only getting used to coming to parties like this.
01:02
Um, but I guess the first thing I would ask is,
01:05
How are you feeling?
01:07
Um, or...
01:09
What do you do, maybe?
01:11
If it's a party with a lot of creatives,
01:13
it's nice to know if they're a producer or a writer,
01:16
and that kind of gets the conversation going.
01:18
What is your last meal?
01:20
Uh...
01:21
It'll be a Japanese dish.
01:23
Either osoba, which is soba noodles.
01:26
Or...
01:27
Um, natto, which is fermented beans on rice.
01:32
I love that.
01:33
And you see Blackthorn eating it in Shogun.
01:35
The song that I've been playing a lot this summer
01:38
is Benson Boone's...
01:40
Beautiful?
01:41
Is it Beautiful?
01:42
Is that the song?
01:43
Name?
01:44
It is.
01:46
What is it?
01:48
Is it Beautiful Things?
01:49
Beautiful Things?
01:50
Yeah.
01:51
Love it.
01:52
Yeah.
01:53
Ah!
01:54
The first red carpet I walked was F9's premiere.
01:57
It was back in 2021.
01:59
Um, and I walked alongside Vin, Vin Diesel,
02:04
um, Sung Kang.
02:07
There were so many more people that I'm not naming right now.
02:10
I've had a few drinks, but it was amazing.
02:13
Thank you guys so much!
02:14
Love you!
