Yeah. Yeah. We good? The part of the house that looks tidy on camera. Right. Hi Jolie. We're so excited to have you on today to talk about, you know, life in quarantine and everything that's going on with you.

Oh yeah, I'm excited to tell you about all the non-exciting things I've been doing. Um but they've been different than my typical um routine. Um as everybody else have been experiencing. Now is the time to, you know, clean the insides of cupboards and reorganize garages and I don't know completely overhaul your closet throw everything out that you haven't touched or looked at or worn in, you know, a decade. So it's good.

I was going to ask you, what's your now favorite part of the day and least favorite part of the day?

Uh, my favorite love to hate it part of the day is I get on my peloton bike every morning at least, I try at least six days a week, five on a bad week. Um, because I know if I don't do it right in the morning, it's it's not happening. Not going to happen. So uh,

And who are you uh quarantining with? like your family or your

I'm coordinating with my handsome best pal, Aliam U. C. Um, so that's nice. I'm happy to have company. I think uh, I always make it an effort to check in on my girlfriends uh or guy friends that are completely alone right now and I find that the ones that have somebody else or pets uh are mostly doing a little bit better. So yeah, we keep each other company, drive each other nuts, you know, balance. It's really fun.

And the uh the 100, the final uh season is coming out soon. Yes. How are you planning to keep Octavia kind of part of your life and close to your heart now that it's like the final one?

Wow, um, that's a good question. I didn't really have time to put her to bed necessarily because um, we we finished shooting um, on a Saturday when they kind of shut down the world on a Friday I recall. Um, so instead of like allowing us to have our wrap party on the Saturday, they said, "No wrap party, not allowed. You're shooting on Saturday. We got to figure out the 100th episode of The 100." And then that was it. And then I got I got on a plane and came over to Ontario where I'm from and So we didn't even really have time to like say goodbye to each other as cast and crew, um, and celebrate the milestone of like, you know, the century long um, episode run that we've had. Um, but uh, I guess to answer your question, how I'm going to keep Octavia with me is um, she was always brave even when she didn't even really know what she was doing. She just had to sort of figure it out. Um, so that's definitely something that uh I'll keep with me to uh be brave in the face of fear when I feel uncertain and that's it.

And one of the comments on the season seven trailer that came out, it was so funny because I was like looking through what people like might want to know about Octavia and they were like, "She actually looks clean." Instead of dirty or bloody. Do you like getting all bloody or like do you prefer Octavia clean?

prefer, you know, dirty. I'm not going to lie. In the cleanest way possible, I realized that did sound a little dirty. Um, they aren't. Um, because it's easier to be taken seriously as this like rough and tough warrior. Yeah. You know, when your mascara isn't perfect and you're literally covered in like, you know, bug bites and moss from the rainforest. Um, but yeah, working um in beautiful British Columbia in the uh old growth rainforest was incredible because we weren't often in like a boring stiff office. We had uh the greatest environment to play in which really helped sell the post-apocalyptic universe.

Of course, we're going to ask, so say you were just a viewer, like you weren't in the show, you just watched the show. Do you think watching the whole seven uh seasons that you would want Bellamy and Clarke to end up together in season seven?

Well, they married each other in real life, so it can't get much better than that, right?

I know, that was the cutest thing, I was like "Oh my goodness!" everyone was like, "We want Clake." I'm like, well, you know, I think they're

They're really together. Yeah, they got they got rings to prove it, you know? Um, yeah. I I don't know. I hate getting into the shipping conversations cause I don't want to get anyone um upset with me. Um, but I do think there is something to be said and I'm just speaking for myself. Yeah. Uh, maybe I'm putting my foot in my mouth, but don't we always want what we can't have? I mean, I do. That's how my brain works.

Well, we love it. We can't wait for season seven to premiere. Are you planning to uh, watch it? On Zoom or something?

I don't know. I haven't I haven't really thought about that far yet. I guess it's coming up quick. It's coming up next Wednesday. But yeah, we'll be uh, we'll be tuning in. For sure. I want to see what the fan reactions are and everything like that and um, I'm really proud of the work that we've um, put together, um, you know, collaboratively and um for myself, I've played Octavia for almost eight years of my life. So, um, it'll be uh, it'll be bittersweet to uh watch the season seven finale, um, 16 weeks from now or whatever that is.

To Octavia, do you think that or how can you talk a little bit about how her attitude and opinions might have changed from season six to season seven? Cause we don't want to ask too much so you don't give something away, but just like a general like attitude and opinions question.

Um, well, the last time we saw Octavia in season six, um, her and Bellamy kind of came to some sense of understanding with one another, and then we meet this character um called Hope, um played by Shelby, and Octavia gets stabbed and mysteriously disappears into the anomaly. This season, there will be a lot of um speculation uncovered what happens in the anomaly. It's not what you think it is. Um, but if I could describe Octavia in three words this season, um, it would be nurturing, self-actualized and elevated.

Those are really good words.

Thank you. I may have had help with them.

Well, we have a little game if you're down to play. It's the game of last.

I love games.

Okay, perfect. So, you'll finish the sentence and then some will be questions but it's basically like the last time I.

Oh, okay.

Last time I ordered something online and what was it?

Oof. Uh, guilty pleasure. Alexander Wang, um, clearance sale that all went to um frontline workers that for PPE. So I was like, "Fashion and helping." Check.

Last text you remember sending.

Oh, Probably happy Mother's Day to my mom.

Uh, last app you downloaded.

app, Calm. Oh. Yes. I'm now listening to sounds of things like um, a bubbling brook or um, ocean waves or last night, I switched it up and I listened to the sound of a washing machine because that's on there too. It works. I was like, who wants to listen to a washing machine? I don't know.

Last skincare hack you discovered.

That's a good one. I kind of stick to like the old same things like um, uh, oh, I have a good, I have uh, Laneige uh, eye mask.

Mm.

and Laneige lip mask. Uh I keep it on my bedside table and I find that they don't look so like haggard and like a bag on the moon.

Last home workout you did. I might know the answer to that.

Peloton for sure. All about the Peloton right now. And I like the app that it comes with cause then you can do like the the hit workouts, the high intensity stuff, a yoga class if you're feeling Namaste and not anxious.

Last thing you baked.

Banana bread fail.

You did do it. You jumped on the trend.

It's it's it sank in the middle. It looked like my banana bread fell off into a ditch. It was just like I don't know. Yeah.

Last time you watched an episode of The 100 from season one.

Uh, to be honest, it's been a while. I don't often watch myself. Um, this year will be an exception potentially cause it's the last one. Um, just want to get myself a complex. I I spend a lot of time creating Octavia and onset doing my thing, but then afterwards I kind of just walk away and hope people enjoy the performance and the story.

Last favorite memory you had filming any of the seasons.

Oh, last favorite memory. Okay, here's a funny one and then I'll throw it to a sentimental one. Um, they have these machines um, the set deck department to make walls and floors look wet. It's like a sprayer you pump it and it's like similar to something you see maybe washing a car. So I remember Page Turco and Henry Ian Cusick were doing a very serious scene with each other that I was not in and I directed the sprayer towards Paige Turco's crotch. Um, who obviously plays Abby, and I drenched her whole thing like gradually and very slowly. Uh, and she she laughed about it and uh, and took it like a champ like a good sport. Love it. Um, but of course, they took away the sprayer. I wasn't allowed to use that anymore.

And then um, on a serious note, uh, when everybody wrapped each other out doing our last scenes on the very last day on the Saturday, uh, on on the, you know, brink of a pandemic for real, um, walking out of a fake apocalypse shooting the TV show straight into a real one was very surreal for all of us. Um, but it was really nice having everyone kind of do a speech to one another very briefly to uh, try to, you know, wrap up our experiences together and and just say thanks to one another for um something that we'll never forget.

Last last time you talked to one of your uh cast members from The 100.

Let me talk to one of my cast members. Um, I think it might've been oh, it was a couple days ago. Yeah. Um, it wasn't necessarily a cast member. Um, her name's Shona. She provided the delicious craft service and food, uh on The 100. But before that, I believe it was Adina. Yeah.

Well, thank you so much Marie for talking to us today at Hollywood.

No problem. Uh stay safe, stay sane and all that good stuff. You're the best. Talk to you later. See ya.

Talk to you later.
