00:00Don't hide down there. There's no answers down there.
00:02You can't cheat on the floor.
00:04Get up here and lose.
00:08I'm not, trust me.
00:09The answer's highlighted.
00:15Hi, I'm Jamie Lee Curtis.
00:18And I'm Cate Blanchett.
00:20And I'm playing Cate Blanchett in How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star.
00:24And I'm going to play Jamie Lee Curtis in The Game for Marie Claire.
00:29So, Cate Blanchett.
00:30Yes, Jamie Lee Curtis.
00:32Before I wanted to be an actor, I wanted to be
00:38A, a veterinarian, B, a chef, or C, a police officer.
00:45Did you have all three? I mean, you have lived so many lives.
00:48Yes, but I wanted to be one of those three things.
00:51Was it a veterinarian?
00:53Chef.
00:54Winner, winner, chicken dinner. I actually...
00:57You're a policeman.
00:57I was, I actually thought I would be a police officer.
01:00You kind of are.
01:01I am a police officer.
01:02And by the way, I am looking like one today.
01:04So yes, I am.
01:05But I'm winning, right?
01:06Hang on, so do I win?
01:07Do we have time to ask one?
01:08No, no, no.
01:09I get very competitive with these things.
01:11Okay, okay.
01:11I just need to know.
01:12We can just throw these away and say that Jamie has won.
01:15And by the way, when we win...
01:15When we win...
01:16It doesn't get ugly.
01:17Do we, like, win something?
01:18Yeah.
01:19We already know what the score is right now.
01:21Oh, okay.
01:22JLC1.
01:23Jamie Lee Curtis.
01:24Yes.
01:24What is my...
01:25What is my astrological sign?
01:30I mean, honestly.
01:31Taurus, Aries, Gemini.
01:32Okay, I only know what...
01:35The answers are not on the ceiling, Jamie.
01:37What was the other one?
01:39Aries.
01:42Taurus.
01:43Taurus.
01:43You know what?
01:44I was going to say Taurus.
01:45I know.
01:45That's what people who lose always say.
01:47Well, I was going to say.
01:48Which of these TV shows...
01:50Oh, God.
01:50...have I not appeared in?
01:53New Girl, The Love Boat, Grey's Anatomy.
02:00Grey's Anatomy.
02:02Wow.
02:03She got it right.
02:05Why would you know that?
02:06You've appeared in pretty much everything.
02:08Thank you, but not Grey's Anatomy.
02:10I mean, for those of you Marie Claire readers who haven't seen Perfect.
02:13I understand, but I also could have been in Grey's Anatomy.
02:16You can't unsee Jamie Lee.
02:17Okay, good.
02:18If Cate Blanchett has seen my episode of Love Boat, I will take these papers and eat
02:24them on camera in front of you right now.
02:27Speaking of eating, Jamie Lee Curtis, what is my favorite on-set snack?
02:31Don't hide down there.
02:32There's no answers down there.
02:33You can't cheat on the floor.
02:35I'm not cheating.
02:35Sit up here and lose.
02:37Puff pastries, Vegemite on toast, or a ginger shot.
02:42A ginger shot.
02:44Oh, you just said that because I said it in a slightly different voice.
02:46No, no, no, no.
02:46Because, you know, Marmite on toast, really.
02:49I didn't say that.
02:50I said Vegemite.
02:50Vegemite.
02:51Well, sorry.
02:52Same difference.
02:52That's too culturally obvious.
02:53Okay, sorry.
02:54Jamie got it right.
02:55Okay.
02:55Which of these actors is my godchild?
02:58Well, you probably know this.
02:59I think I probably, this one is sort of a gimme.
03:02Jake Gyllenhaal.
03:03Okay, fine.
03:03See, I didn't even have to give her the option.
03:06Which of these facts about me is not true?
03:09Oh, did you?
03:10I'm not.
03:11Trust me.
03:11The answer's highlighted.
03:12So if Jamie gets this right, it's because she cheated.
03:14Not cheating.
03:16I once shaved my head, which almost got me fired from my job at a nursing home.
03:21I train, I'm a trained tap dancer.
03:24I was asked to be an extra in an Egyptian boxing film when I was traveling in Cairo.
03:29You can't dance.
03:31I mean, you can't like really dance.
03:33How the do you know?
03:36Because I've watched you walk.
03:40I mean, this game is not insult your co-star.
03:44What was the correct answer?
03:45That's a different game.
03:46We can play it another time.
03:47What was the correct answer?
03:47Well, yes, that's right.
03:49Okay.
03:49Sorry.
03:50I can't dance.
03:51Okay, it's fine.
03:52Okay.
03:53Okay.
03:54Which one of these facts about me is not true?
03:59I'm in the Guinness Book of World Records.
04:02I own a patent for a diaper.
04:04Well, yeah.
04:06I was nominated for a Grammy.
04:08All three could be possible because there's very little that you have not done.
04:12But because the Guinness Book of World Records is so extreme, I know you have a patent for a diaper.
04:18Because I just mentioned it to you today.
04:19No, but we talked about it on set, and I said I wanted to see it.
04:23I want to see you wearing it, but I never got to have that opportunity.
04:26I would have to say Grammy, but you probably have three.
04:30You're wrong.
04:31I was never in the Guinness Book of World Records.
04:33Well, why?
04:34You should be.
04:34I appreciate that very much.
04:36I was nominated for a Grammy, even though everyone in this room who knows me will tell you I cannot
04:41sing.
04:41But plenty of people have won Grammys and can't sing.
04:44Well, I can't sing, so I have not won a Grammy.
04:47I think I'm winning still.
04:48What's my middle name?
04:50I'm going to fly wild.
04:50And what are the three choices?
04:54Grace, Anne, Elise.
04:56Elise?
04:57No, that's, I mean, I didn't make a friend.
04:58You know what?
04:59You're an Oscar-winning actress.
05:01But I can't lie.
05:03You had a tell.
05:03I'm so...
05:04You had a tell.
05:05You know what your tell is?
05:05Your nose.
05:06Your nose, just this little twinkle.
05:09That's called hay fever.
05:11So what's your question?
05:13No, that was it.
05:13We just did it.
05:14We won.
05:15That was it.
05:15I won.
05:15Jeremy, she won.
05:16I won.
05:18Marie Claire, it's for women about all kinds of issues in our lives.
05:23And we should not be in competition with each other.
05:26And we should not be trying to win.
05:28So we should not ask us to play these goddamn games.
05:32Yes, that's, I guess, my point is that...
05:33Women are friends, not frenemies.
05:35You know what I mean?
05:36Shame on you.
05:37Shame on you, Marie Claire.
05:38Shame on you.
05:39I met Jamie the same evening at the same event that I met Jack Black.
05:43It was one year at the Academy Awards and we were going in and out of this...
05:48I don't know where it was, but you were standing outside by yourself.
05:51And I went, oh, my God.
05:52I started to sweat.
05:53I went, that's Jamie Lee Curtis.
05:55I went up to you and I said, hi.
05:57And you went, I know who you are in that way that you do.
06:01Where I went, you feel...
06:02No memory of this at all.
06:03None.
06:03No memory of this at all.
06:04And I met Jack coming out of the building.
06:07And I said, Jack.
06:08And he had 20 goodie bags.
06:10Yes.
06:10You know how you often get goodie bags?
06:12He went, oh!
06:13Carrying the goodie bags.
06:14So that sums it up.
06:15But you don't remember that.
06:16I don't remember that.
06:17No.
06:18Clearly you did not know who I was.
06:20No.
06:21I knew who she was.
06:23I really met her in Budapest.
06:25The reason I went to Budapest...
06:27No, you just don't remember meeting her.
06:28No.
06:28The reason I went to Budapest...
06:30Was to say sorry for not remembering me.
06:33In the middle of COVID.
06:34For four months away from my family, my dog, and my children.
06:40In that order.
06:41No.
06:41Dog, children, family, friends.
06:46And that's the order.
06:47But I did travel across the world in the middle of COVID to be in a movie because Cate Blanchett
06:54was going to be in the movie.
06:55Well, same, same.
06:55I feel like I met her in the hallway.
06:57It's okay.
06:57I forgive you.
06:58I forgive you.
06:59In the hallway of our hotel after we were allowed to be a hundred feet from each other and wave.
07:05Yes, exactly.
07:06She won't remember this.
07:07I'll pass her in the street tomorrow.
07:09I was like, oh, hi.
07:11Did we work together?
07:12Oh, you were the woman without the bra.
07:13Yes.
07:14Oh, thank God.
07:15In leather in July or August, whatever.
07:18We're air conditioning.
07:19God, this is taking a sour turn here.
07:22Look what they did.
07:22Mary Claire.
07:23Look what they did.
07:24From working together on these projects, what have you learned from each other?
07:28I am so inspired by how many lives you lead.
07:32I'm always amazed when people are able to be present off set and on set, like while waiting.
07:39There's a lot of waiting filmmaking.
07:41And you would constantly be looking and listening at people.
07:45I learned from you that I really need to develop a few more skills.
07:48Jamie, apart from being a legendary actress and philanthropist and producer, what haven't you done?
07:54Is the most astonishing photographer.
07:56And that I thought, wow, to have honed that skill.
08:00I mean, I have a lot of time to make up for.
08:04It's all very nice, thank you.
08:06It's all very true.
08:06I would say this.
08:07There are very few actors, when you look back at all the work they've done, make you really excited to
08:14be an actor.
08:16And Meryl Streep is one of them.
08:18When I was making horror films and not getting jobs and feeling very discouraged, I went and saw Meryl Streep's
08:26movies.
08:26It was Silkwood. And I remember thinking, oh, just keep going.
08:32Like there is an inspiration to me when someone is doing work that inspires you and makes you realize that
08:40those opportunities exist.
08:41And I had that with Meryl Streep and I have that with Cate Blanchett.
08:45And so because of that, the opportunity then to get to know her and work with her was the reason
08:51to go and leave my family in the middle of COVID.
08:53What it's done is just made me realize that my instinct to keep going because it has only improved since
09:03I've met and worked with her.
09:04And that is both the circumstances of meeting and working with her and staying in it long enough to be
09:12able to then have new opportunities that I'm now getting to do.
09:15You know, those front runners, those people who are in front, you got to keep your eye on them.
09:20And that's how it's been for me with Cate.
09:22Never a part.
09:23She redeemed herself in the last 35 seconds.
09:26We were never a part.
09:26I mean, it was pretty dicey.
09:28We were right on the edge.
09:30Thanks for feeding the line.
09:31Can I tell you the truth?
09:33I totally cheated.
09:34You did.
09:35I knew you did.
09:37Because they did highlight.
09:39And so all I had to do was see where on the lineup the right answer was.
09:43And then I acted as if I didn't, which tells you what a good influence Cate Blanchett has been on
09:51me because you didn't know that.
09:53There is a movie.
09:54It's called Borderlands.
09:55We hope you like it.
09:56It's a movie for families.
09:57It is fun.
09:58And we're in it.
09:59And apparently so is Kevin Hart.
10:01But he was asleep most of the time because he got up so early to do.
10:04You can't be entirely sure of whether Kevin Hart is or not.
10:06Exactly.
10:06But apparently he is.
10:09Borderlands is out in theaters August 9th.
10:12This Friday.
10:12Go to the cinema.
10:13There's air conditioning.
10:14Yes.
10:15And popcorn.
10:15What do you put on your popcorn?
10:17I don't have popcorn.
10:18Unless I make it myself.
