00:00Do you judge people who have cats?
00:03No.
00:07I hate them.
00:09They're stupid people that have cats.
00:13Carrie.
00:14Yes.
00:14Oscar.
00:15Yes, that's me.
00:16We've brought you here today to take a lie detector test.
00:18One of you will be hooked up to the machine,
00:20while the other will ask the questions.
00:22And then you'll switch.
00:24This is Jimmy, our polygraph operator.
00:28Who wants to be on the hot seat first?
00:30I feel like you're closer to it,
00:32so just for ease of use.
00:35I do.
00:40Yep.
00:41All right.
00:42You're doing great.
00:43Thanks.
00:45You're a legend.
00:46Terrified.
00:47But this was voluntary.
00:48It was a legend.
00:49Yeah.
00:50Ish.
00:53Yeah.
00:53And it shocks her if she lies?
00:57This finger.
00:58Just keep in mind, the shock goes...
01:00Oh, good.
01:01Yeah, exactly.
01:02Carrie.
01:03Yes.
01:04To calibrate the machine, I'm going to ask you some straightforward questions.
01:07Okay.
01:08Please answer honestly.
01:10Okay.
01:11Is your name Carrie Hannah Mulligan?
01:15Yes.
01:16Were you born in London, England?
01:19I was.
01:20Are you ready to take this lie detector test?
01:23Yes.
01:25All right.
01:26Jimmy, we good to go?
01:27Good to go.
01:28Okay.
01:30After being rejected by three drama schools...
01:33Yes.
01:34...you networked your way into getting an audition for Pride and Prejudice.
01:37Oh, yeah.
01:37Would you say schmoozing is a more important skill than formal training?
01:45Um...
01:45Yeah.
01:48So, do you think I wasted my time going to Juilliard?
01:52No.
01:54I see some deception here.
01:56I...
01:57No, I don't think you wasted your time going to Juilliard.
01:59It's equally important to be good at schmoozing.
02:03Which you're all so good at, to be fair.
02:06So, do you wish you went to Juilliard?
02:08I do wish I went to Juilliard.
02:10They'd never take me.
02:12So, you think I'm talented?
02:13I think you're very talented.
02:16Do you have any notes for any of my performances?
02:21No.
02:22That's not truthful.
02:25Okay.
02:31Do you think that most working actors are talented?
02:35Yes.
02:37Do you think it was your charm that brought you to Windsor Castle recently?
02:42My charm?
02:46Just exhibit A.
02:47I like that what's flown in.
02:50Um...
02:50No.
02:53Are you just saying that to appear humble?
02:57No.
02:58That was a lie.
03:00No, I'm not.
03:04Would you call me charming?
03:06Yes.
03:07Very.
03:09So, speaking of networking...
03:10Yeah.
03:11You first met this man.
03:13This man?
03:14Yeah.
03:15Yeah.
03:15And this man.
03:18Marcus Mumford.
03:19Yeah.
03:19At a sleepaway camp as children.
03:21Yes.
03:21Is it true that he, quote, wasn't boyfriend material?
03:25Yes.
03:27That is true.
03:28Why?
03:29Because he was, um...
03:33shorter than me.
03:37Oh, he had peroxide hair.
03:39Was it an intentional strategy to friendzone your future husband?
03:43No.
03:44And you two reconnected on Facebook years later?
03:46Yes.
03:47Be honest.
03:48Did you poke him?
03:49What does that mean?
03:50It's like a Facebook thing?
03:52Oh, like, uh, oh, God, I can't remember Facebook.
03:55Um, did I poke him?
03:57No.
03:58So you slid into his DMs?
04:00Yes.
04:01But he might have slid into my DMs.
04:03I can't remember.
04:04Okay.
04:07I really can't.
04:10Jimmy's not so sure.
04:11What was the line that made you reconsider him?
04:15Um, as an adult?
04:16Mm-hmm.
04:19Um, I don't think there was a specific line.
04:21Maybe shoelifts?
04:22Shoelifts.
04:24No, he'd grown a lot.
04:25Okay.
04:25Yeah.
04:26Okay.
04:26I met my wife the way normal people do.
04:29At a party.
04:30Do you think my story's less romantic than yours?
04:33Yes.
04:35She's telling the truth.
04:36Is it true that when you first heard your future husband's music, you told a friend it
04:39was shouty?
04:41Yes.
04:42That's really funny.
04:44Much too shouty.
04:45Do you still think his music is shouty?
04:47No.
04:48He's much less shouty now.
04:49Okay.
04:50Yeah.
04:51We played husband and wife in the movie Drive.
04:54Yes.
04:55Alongside this man.
04:59Ryan Gosling.
05:01Yes.
05:02Were you in-
05:02My thingy's falling down.
05:03Oh.
05:03Woo!
05:04Hang on a minute.
05:05Okay.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Got it?
05:07Yeah.
05:08Okay.
05:09Okay.
05:09Ryan Gosling does that to people.
05:11Mm-hmm.
05:12Um, were you initially upset that you had to play my wife instead of Ryan Gosling's?
05:18No.
05:20You-you want to stick with that answer?
05:23No.
05:24No.
05:24I'm-I was very happy to play your wife.
05:28And have an affair with Ryan Gosling.
05:31That's the thing.
05:32Yeah.
05:33Okay.
05:33Are you still supportive of Ryan's career?
05:36Yes!
05:39I'm not going to look at Jimmy for that one.
05:41Very.
05:42Very, very.
05:43Yeah.
05:44Very.
05:44I am.
05:45Does that mean you've seen his latest film, Project Hail Mary?
05:47I haven't yet.
05:49Since this is our third project together, are you supportive of my work and have seen all
05:55of my projects?
05:58Um, I am supportive of your work and I haven't seen all your projects.
06:02Mm, she's telling the truth.
06:04Yeah.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Drive was the first time we worked together.
06:07Did I make a good first impression?
06:09Yes.
06:10Is there anything in particular that stood out to you about me?
06:18I remember that you were a singer.
06:21She's telling the truth.
06:23Okay.
06:24Not on set, but you were a singer.
06:26Like, I remember being like, oh, he's a singer.
06:30I remember singing.
06:31No, you were, but you were gigging.
06:33You were doing gigs.
06:34And I was like, oh, he does that as well.
06:35We worked together on Inside Llewyn Davis.
06:37Yes.
06:38And you've mentioned that I got more laughs from the Coen brothers.
06:41Yeah.
06:41On set, these guys.
06:42Yeah.
06:43Be honest, did that make you jealous?
06:46Yeah.
06:48Mm-hmm.
06:49Yeah.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Do you think they just don't understand your British sense of humor?
06:53No, I just, I don't think I was that funny.
06:56But do you laugh at your own jokes?
06:57Yes.
07:00She is very truthful.
07:01She is.
07:02I know.
07:03Okay.
07:04Now, you've mentioned in an interview that you lie when people ask you what you do for a living.
07:08Carrie, do you think being an actor is embarrassing?
07:13No.
07:16It looks like there's some deception.
07:20Part of being an actor is having to do lots of promotional photo shoots.
07:23Do you find that embarrassing?
07:24Yes.
07:26She does.
07:26Mm.
07:28How did you feel about this early photo shoot?
07:31Oh, God.
07:34Do you think it's better than this one?
07:37That's so mean.
07:41Do I think mine is better than, I actually think mine is better than yours.
07:45Marginally.
07:46She's going to break the machine out of now.
07:49I don't know what it is about yours that's not working.
07:51You've also got a bad background.
07:53You've got wallpaper to contend with.
07:55As you were coming up as an actor, was auditioning ever embarrassing?
07:58Yes.
08:00Did you ever enjoy it?
08:01Yes.
08:03Have you ever done anything in an audition that you regret?
08:07Not that I don't know if I, I, no, but that, like, embarrassing, but not that I, I mean, I
08:13was trying to get the job.
08:14Like what?
08:15Like I auditioned for, um, what was the astronaut movie with Sandra Bullock?
08:22Oh, um, Gravity.
08:23I auditioned for Gravity and I had to wear a, um, space suit and a little, a big helmet and
08:29spin around out of control in space.
08:31But it was in an office in the Grove.
08:35That sounds embarrassing.
08:36Yeah.
08:37In our show, Beef.
08:38Yes.
08:39We play a married couple.
08:40Yeah.
08:41Who's seen having a disturbing fight by co-workers.
08:44Yeah.
08:45Was it difficult for you to relate to this scenario?
08:48Yes.
08:49So you're saying you have the perfect marriage?
08:53No.
08:55Is the key to a lasting relationship having a husband who can sing to you?
08:59Yeah.
09:02Have you ever gotten in a spat in public?
09:05Yes.
09:07Was it about me?
09:12No.
09:13Final question.
09:14Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test and we didn't catch you?
09:18No.
09:19Oh.
09:21It's time for you.
09:24You a bit nervous now?
09:25I've just done a lot of ninja training so I know how to control my heart rate.
09:28Oh.
09:30Oscar.
09:32To calibrate the machine, I'm going to ask you some straightforward questions.
09:35Please answer honestly.
09:37Is your full name Oscar Isaac Hernandez Estrada?
09:41Yes.
09:42Were you born in Guatemala City, Guatemala?
09:45I was.
09:46Are you nervous?
09:48No.
09:49Jimmy, we're ready to go?
09:50We are ready to go.
09:53Beef marks our third time working together.
09:56Would you say I'm a good work wife?
09:59Yes.
10:01Am I your favorite?
10:03Yes.
10:06Jimmy's ****ing you.
10:07Jimmy, this is important.
10:09It is important.
10:10I think you can trust him.
10:11He's just a little nervous.
10:13Okay.
10:13Okay, good.
10:14I'm nervous.
10:15In beef, we can't seem to get along with each other.
10:20Have you ever had a long-standing beef with anyone?
10:24Long-standing beef?
10:26No.
10:27No?
10:28Short-standing beefs.
10:29Many.
10:29No long-standing.
10:31Are you a confrontational person?
10:33I can be.
10:35Have you ever sent food back at a restaurant?
10:39No.
10:40No?
10:40No.
10:41Have you ever told a barber you didn't like a haircut?
10:45Yes.
10:46He's telling the truth.
10:47Have you ever said no to a selfie?
10:50Yes.
10:52He's being really honest.
10:53He is.
10:54That's nice.
10:55He is.
10:56Amidst the intense music rehearsals you underwent in preparation for Inside Llewyn Davis,
11:01Would you say that this was the hardest part about the role?
11:09The cat?
11:10Is that a cat?
11:11It's a cat.
11:11Yeah.
11:12Cats.
11:13Cats were not the hardest part of the role.
11:16We're not the hardest part.
11:16No.
11:17Do you judge people who have cats?
11:20No.
11:22I don't know.
11:26I hate them.
11:28They're stupid people that have cats.
11:30You know what?
11:31Straight line.
11:34Would you ever work with a cat again?
11:38No.
11:40Straight line.
11:41Are you aware that there are mixed cat breeds named after this co-star from the movie?
11:48Really?
11:49I didn't know that.
11:51Do you see the resemblance?
11:53Between him and a cat?
11:56They're like a panther.
11:59You led a scar band years ago named The Blinking Underdogs.
12:04Yes.
12:06Yes, it's true.
12:11Did you name it that because the Oscar Isaacs was too on the nose?
12:17If I would have thought of that, I would have named it that.
12:19Yes, tell them the truth.
12:20Do you feel like an underdog at heart?
12:24Yes.
12:25Yes.
12:27Is that what keeps you motivated?
12:32Yeah.
12:34Yes.
12:35Okay.
12:36Okay.
12:38Did any of your dance moves from Ex Machina come from your band?
12:44No.
12:45Oh.
12:46When was the last time you did the dance?
12:48You did it in press yesterday.
12:50Did I?
12:51No, just like the beginning of it.
12:52Yeah, yesterday.
12:56Oh, did Ex Machina make you an expert in AI?
13:01No.
13:02No.
13:03What's the best advice that you can give me about artificial intelligence?
13:08Oh, um, just to watch videos on YouTube of AI and robots because all their experiments
13:16are being put up on there and so at least we know what's coming.
13:20Okay.
13:21That's good.
13:22After the film's release, you conversed with many AI programmers.
13:25Have they shared classified information with you?
13:32No, not classified, no.
13:37You had to think about it.
13:38I'm not sure.
13:39I had to think if it was classified and no, it's not classified.
13:43Blink twice if you have information that you can't share on camera.
13:52You're known for being a serious actor.
13:55Who takes his roles very seriously.
13:59So do you consider yourself a serious person?
14:03No.
14:04No?
14:05What is silly about you?
14:07Just look at me right now.
14:09This is very silly.
14:11Do you ever unwind with some Bravo?
14:14Like the channel?
14:15Yeah.
14:16No.
14:16No.
14:17I see some deception here.
14:19Oh.
14:20I don't know what to tell you, Jimmy.
14:21Do you have any opinions on the latest Summer House drama?
14:27No.
14:28Don't know what that means.
14:29Do you think you have a good personality for reality TV?
14:32I don't think I do.
14:33No?
14:34No.
14:35Is it too much beef for you to handle?
14:37Ah.
14:38Very good.
14:39So you can only handle scripted beef?
14:42Yep.
14:43Yep.
14:44Scripted beef.
14:44I can't do improv beef.
14:47No improv beef.
14:48You can improv beef.
14:49I mean, we did kind of improv beef.
14:50We deserve improv beef.
14:52Just a touch.
14:53Just a little bit.
14:53Final question.
14:55Did you lie at any point during this lie detector test and we didn't catch you?
15:00I do love cats.
15:02You should be clear about that, by the way.
15:04I love cats.
