If you start typing Brooklyn in Google, do you know Decker comes up as a suggestion? Before anything, before like Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn.
We were doing it earlier. It comes up first now.
No, it doesn't. Not before Brooklyn Bridge.
Swear.
RJ here. We are hanging out at the Young Hollywood studio with the beautiful Brooklyn Decker. Hi. How are you?
I'm great. How are you?
Good. Now, I have an obsession I don't usually talk about, but I'm going to talk about it here because you share the obsession with me.
Okay. What is it? Do you have a lot of obsessions?
Well, a few, but go ahead. I could just hear this sound. You knew you could hear the sound. We have to. I mean, it just makes everything that much better. You hear the sound. I need to find my soulmate though, in here, and it's the red one. I was going to. That's my favorite color too. I knew you were going to say the red. How'd you know that?
Red is just always the best, yeah. Oh my gosh. I don't like the green. Do you have the same issue?
Yeah, I agree. But red and the yellow are my favorite. Cheers. Do not like the green. Cheers. So, how's life? Good? You're on every like beautiful list, beautiful person. You're always at the top of the list. Yeah. Oh. And now you're doing like huge movies. That's the exciting part. And how crazy is it? You you've only done two, but Jennifer Aniston and Adam Sandler. I mean, did you just pinch yourself when you heard like those are my costars?
Yes, I did. When the flash is that her? Hello. Boring. Why are you wearing that? I'm just playing the part. I I read the script and I auditioned for it so many times and I coached and I did I just did the whole like showing up, verbal vomit at the audition, freaking out, so nervous.
And were you nervous when you went on set or you were just like, uh, you know,
Oh, shaking, shaking, shaking.
The whole time or just the first day?
Well, a few a few scenes. I have a a a love scene with with Sandler, and I just told him. I said, "Adam, I have to tell you, I'm kind of freaking out about this." He's like, "It's awkward. It's fine. We'll just get it over with, and we'll go home to our husbands and wives, it's fine."
And how do you keep a straight face? Because we've interviewed Adam before, him and a bunch of other people. He was hilarious.
It's great. Nick Swardson is in it, who is so funny. And his goal was to break us, and Jen is a pro, like she people don't break her. She's, you know, she has done comedy for years, but she could not hold it together with Nick. And I felt so bad because we kept having to cut and restart because I kept laughing during Nick's scenes, and then one day she's like, "Honey, don't worry about it. I did the same thing." So we all do it. Um, but it was hard on some days. This stuff's really funny.
And the trailer is everywhere, but the best part of the trailer is that end shot of the slow motion shot of of Brooklyn. No, that's really the best part. That's the best part. That's the highlight.
Oh, I don't, oh.
Cuz everybody out there is going to be like, "Who is this girl?"
I guess I'm glad I shot it when I was 22 then, that way maybe in, you know, 50 years I'm looking back. Right. I think it's okay, but now I'm like, "Oh, no, don't show it. Don't show it."
Yeah, right. You'll have it forever to show the kids.
Thanks, I guess. Yeah.
So what are you doing when you're not acting and you're not modeling and and you're just hanging out? What are you doing?
Um, I like being outside a lot. I play with my dog. I should come up with better answers. Like, I study five languages, and
Really?
No, I don't.
Oh. I was very impressed.
No, I uh bought the Spanish Rosetta Stone. So, but that was a year ago. So I need to start that. That's on my list. Um, I'm really into interior design and I'm working on my apartment and building a house right now. So that's kind of my second job outside. Yeah, that keeps me busy.
You said on your list. So if you had like your bucket list of just things you have to do and you have to make sure you're doing in the next few years.
Oh, wow. Skydiving's up there. I had a trip planned. Um, I was shooting in Hawaii, but my producer told me if I did it, she would kill me. So Got to be careful with that. That was next. Yeah.
You know what's really crazy? You've probably done this, but you might not have. If you start typing Brooklyn in Google, Do you know Decker comes up as a suggestion?
Does it? Yeah. That is insane.
Before anything. Before like Brooklyn Bridge, Brooklyn squ.
No, it doesn't. Not before Brooklyn Bridge.
We were doing it earlier. It comes up first now. I don't know if that means there are a lot of like dirty 12-year-old boys out there or I don't know what that means. Why with that name? Cuz is it true I heard it was named after a horse?
Yeah, named after. Everyone thinks it's a stage name. They think it sounds kind of fake, but um, no it's real. I was named after a horse.
Brooklyn. It sounds very, very fluid, like Brooklyn. It's yeah, sort of. Either that or like a sandwich, Brooklyn Decker. It does, actually. Is like a sandwich, right? You'll be at one of those delis that have where it's like celebrity sandwiches, here's Brooklyn Decker. Yeah, it does. I don't know that that's a good thing, though.
