00:03Hi, I'm Mariah Gillow from The Hollywood Reporter and I'm in studio with Brooklyn Prince from The Florida Project.
00:09Hi, Brooklyn. Hi. How are you? I'm good. Good. Okay, so I have some questions for you.
00:15But the first question is, what did you like the most about your character Mooney?
00:21She likes ice cream. Do you like ice cream too? I absolutely love it. Me too.
00:29What's your favorite flavor? Mint chocolate chip. Me too. That's so crazy.
00:36I was born around St. Patrick's Day, so I always love mint chocolate chip because it's green.
00:42Yeah, or sour apple frozen yogurt and it's all green. Oh, that's pretty. You like the tart stuff?
00:50The tart frozen yogurt? I haven't tried it, but I would just...
00:54Or maybe like you could do a snow cone with like green coloring. Uh-huh. Yeah, lime. Lime is green.
01:01Okay, so that's one of the questions I really, really wanted to ask you is, what was it like eating
01:05all of that food on set?
01:08We ate 45 cones of ice cream. In one day or all together? In one day.
01:15Wow. That's impressive. Did you have to do the thing? Because sometimes I know that actors have like a spit
01:20bucket that they spit out the ice cream. Did you have to do that?
01:24Oh, no. You just ate it. You were just licking it.
01:27We had to use a spit bucket for one of them. Yeah.
01:31To go like, or we had to pretend to eat the pizza like...
01:35Oh, nice. So you learned how to pretend eat pizza.
01:39Yeah. Well, I ate the pizza. Bria didn't.
01:42Oh, nice. Okay. She's like...
01:44Too much gluten for her. She's like...
01:48And she's eating it past her face. Yeah, like...
01:52That's pretty funny.
01:55Hey, what is your favorite thing that Sean Baker asked you to do? Like when he was directing you?
02:03Improv.
02:05Oh, yeah? Like the perfume scene?
02:07Yeah, yeah, yeah. I improv'd all improv.
02:12Yeah. That's pretty impressive.
02:15Um, if you could take anything like a prop or a toy that was on set with you home, which
02:22thing would you like to take with you?
02:24Orange bird.
02:25The orange bird?
02:26Yeah. He's cute. I want him.
02:31I'm like, Chris, can you just give it to me? You have so many orange bird things. Just, can you
02:36please give it to me?
02:37And he's like, no. And I'm like, are you serious?
02:42Yes.
02:43You're learning some important life lessons about being a professional.
02:47Yeah.
02:47Yes.
02:48Don't ask for props.
02:49Don't take the props.
02:50I was about to, like, be so important.
02:54Yeah, right?
02:55Yeah.
02:55Just be cute. Don't let it go.
02:57What was it like doing things like yelling at people and spitting?
03:02So sad.
03:04Yeah? Did it make you sad?
03:05Yeah.
03:06To be mean?
03:07Poor people.
03:09Yeah.
03:09Yeah.
03:10What was it like to do that crying scene at the end?
03:16It was sad.
03:18Did you do that at the beginning of the shoot, though? Like, was that one of the first scenes that
03:23you did?

03:43or, like, the people who you were playing?
03:47Did it make you think about what people's lives are like who lived there?
