I am here at South by Southwest with Fallon Goodson.

Good morning.

Morning. The birds are chirping, isn't this lovely? And we're channeling each other. Fallon walked it with we were both sporting the red skirt, the white shirt, and hello, Manny Cam. So you're you're originally from Louisiana, but you went to school in Texas. So you're home. I saw on your Twitter, you were so excited to be sort of back and. So what's the biggest difference do you think between LA and Texas mentality?

It was a big difference for me because I was like living in a sorority house with all these girls and then I came out to LA by myself and I was like, I don't know anyone.

And now you're having a movie with James Franco. Things turn around really fast. Yeah. So Malady's Catherine Keener, James Franco, I read that you said he was life-changing working with him.

Yeah, it was. Um, James has always been the type of person that's kind of like he likes to be a mentor and a teacher and embrace that kind of thing. And he was he was lovely to work with. I feel like he's one of those people because he does so many different things. I know when he did like the soap, everybody was like, why is he doing this? And he actually did the soap for Malady's because he played stop it.

Are you serious?

Um, a retired/fired soap actor. And so he did that research for the role.

So you have finally debunked the myth on Young Hollywood because everybody always speculated why he did that soap. So it was for this film. They show footage actually in the movie from actual scenes he did from General Hospital.

Oh, they used it. Yeah. This is that's incredible.

So tell us something that we don't know about him because he's he's sort of mysterious. Um, I feel like people want to know more about James Franco.

He loves my dog.

What kind of dog do you have?

I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. It's like um, Elizabeth Taylor on Sex and the City. And I love those two bonded and he used her in a short film. So he took my dog and filmed with her for like three days. Um, yeah, I mean I've learned from him that he really likes to brutally murder me in his movies. I don't know that is the next movie that's coming out, Child of God. Like, I mean just mutilated me.

We've got a a little game for you based on the movie Malady's. Okay. First of all, what ails you more? People that post a lot of pictures of themselves on Facebook or people that post everything they eat on Facebook. You know those people that post like every meal they have.

Well, I've been that girl. I've been Facebook sober for about four years. I got off of it because there was just too much stalking of like exes and things like that. And it's just not productive.

How come I don't have any guys stalking me on Facebook, ex-boyfriends? Okay, have you ever faked a malady or an illness to get out of something?

Oh, well, I don't know if this is a malady, but I did have a lot of important things to do once in a jury duty and I used my acting skills a little bit and went into full-on crying and they had to escort me out because I was supposed to do it for a week. And I was like, I have to work and it's the middle of the Oscars. And it was true that I was touched by the story and I was biased, but I just threw in the extra waterworks and they were like, get out.

Love it. Okay. So what is the sickest item of clothing like sick as in cool? Sick as in cool that you've got to wear for like a carpet or that you own in your closet?

Ooh, I got to wear a Monique Lhuillier dress um, for the Berlin premiere.

I saw that. That was gorgeous.

That was like a really fun moment. I guess the other really cool thing would have been an aesthetic bullet hole through my neck for Child of God. And I was walking around set kind of like eight and Cheetos and stuff and like a bullet hole and Cheetos.

That's a great look. So speaking of clothes, we partnered with H&M, their recycling textiles. It helps the environment. It's a great cause. And we told you about it ahead of a time and we were so blown away because you brought us several items from your wardrobe, which we really appreciate. We're gonna chuck 'em in. This is, well why are you why are you recycling this bad boy? I love this.

Well, you can recycle it to me. I wore it to um, a life happens event in New York.

That was that was another film that you did with Kate Bosworth and yeah.

Yeah. It was a lighter movie.

A lighter movie. This is going to sound really bad, but it's perfect to ask celebrities for things because we don't really wear them more than once usually. You can't because then you end up on those magazine pages like she really likes this one. Do we want twice? Double wearer. I mean it's not you know, Kate Middleton does it. Michelle Obama does it. So it's becoming a trend, which I hope will

It is. It sort of takes the pressure off you guys. Because don't you when you really like something you want to wear it again? You like shoes and bags and stuff and socks.

Like okay. So this is going in the Young Hollywood recyclable bag. That was item number one. Thank you, Fallon. Okay, item number two. Well, this little gem is from

You got some really good stuff. This little gem is from a a TV Christmas movie I did and I wore that. Um,

You don't say this has Christmas all over it.

Yeah. So that was I actually think this is cute. Forever 21. Okay. Um and it was like a Christmas dress my character wore and I'm not going to wear it again because it's in a movie.

Right. Right. Yeah, you can't do that. But thank you Forever 21. We're giving it to H&M. And they're going to recycle this. Okay. That's item.

And this is what me and Kate Bosworth had a dance in the kitchen with. That was for Jade. Uh, we made Rice Krispy Treats together in that and it was great with that outfit.

I don't know if I'm letting you give this one away. This is away. You can just do whatever you want. Thank you so much. You gave away really great stuff, but I know H&M appreciates it. And the environment appreciates it and we love chatting with you. Thank you.
