Glenn Close LOVES playing the villain! 😈 From the iconic Cruella de Vil in 101 Dalmatians to the sinister Drusilla Sickle in The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping, the Hollywood legend is embracing her bad side!

We caught up with Glenn at the London premiere of the highly anticipated Hunger Games prequel, where she discussed her love of playing deliciously wicked characters and what makes them so much fun!

Plus, Glenn responds to Maya Hawke's revelation that the pair were making FILTHY limericks together on set!

She also explains why she ended up sleeping in her trailer during filming, reveals her rather unusual description of actors as the "alien nation" and discusses whether anyone in Hollywood can still leave her starstruck!

00:00I'm very comfortable with my alien-ness. Not so much with others.
00:05I love you.
00:08What was the best thing about working with this lovely legend?
00:12That she's just as committed today as I'm sure she always has been.
00:17And that she gives 100% every single day and she loves to be there and she was so lovely
00:21to everybody
00:22and spoke to everybody that wanted to speak to her and gave them the time of day.
00:27Oh, isn't that? That's lovely.
00:29But who's going to be in the fight? Drizella or Cruella de Vil?
00:34Cruella.
00:37Yeah, Cruella probably would.
00:40Did you hear that Glenn apparently slept in the trailer?
00:44I did.
00:44Because you loved it so much.
00:46Because she's a weapon.
00:48But they were beautiful.
00:50No one does that.
00:51Yeah, but still a trailer.
00:53I mean, it's still Glenn Close.
00:54That is commitment.
00:56Well, I had my dog Pip.
00:57You did have your dog.
00:58I had Pippi.
00:59So Pippi was with me.
01:00Have you done that before on a film?
01:02No, that was the first time.
01:03But I've done it since.
01:05Wow.
01:05Yeah.
01:06Wow.
01:08So cool.
01:10Well, I do.
01:10I like silence and I like nature.
01:12So if you're in a wonderful location and everyone goes home and you have nature and silence,
01:18what's wrong with that?
01:20You don't have to, you know, go in the car for an hour and a half.
01:23It's fabulous.
01:24There you go.
01:24As long as I can get Uber Eats.
01:26Because I'm the most hopeless cook of all time.
01:29What should go to order?
01:30That's the question.
01:31I don't know.
01:33Mexican.
01:34It's not very interesting.
01:36Chick-fil-A.
01:37Chick-fil-A.
01:38Thank you very much, Peter.
01:41Apparently you made some limericks up on set with Maya.
01:44Oh, yes.
01:45Yes.
01:45Are you allowed to tell me any?
01:46No, no.
01:47They were too filthy.
01:49I love being filthy.
01:52We were cracking each other up.
01:54It was Maya and Lily.
01:59Yeah, it was really funny.
02:01And that scene is actually not in the movie.
02:04We were seeing everybody off as they were leaving and getting blasted by helicopter fumes.
02:12So lovely.
02:13Yeah.
02:13Maybe that may have more horrible things.
02:15Oh.
02:16Yes.
02:17Do you love just being meany?
02:20No.
02:20I thought you were not all pretty.
02:22Yes.
02:22I mean, it's usually very colorful.
02:24I love being the meany in this because I think it actually is very relevant.
02:31I think there's a lot of meanness abroad in the world.
02:33And the fact that we know at the end of the story that that meanness is defeated.
02:41And why is it that she was stashed up by you?
02:43Does anyone make you feel stashed up?
02:45You're a franchise.
02:47It's not going to work.
02:47Incredible.
02:48Not really.
02:49I mean, I'm most comfortable with, as I call actors, creative people, the alien nation.
02:56So I'm very comfortable with my alien nation.
03:00Not so much with others, but with my people.
03:03You are the queen of the alien nation.
03:05Yeah.
03:05Oh, you think?
03:07That's your time too.
03:08Absolutely.
03:08Thank you very much.
03:09Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:10Bye.
03:11You
