Cause I hear that's your favorite body part. Of yourself. Of your, why? Is that true? You said that. I want to understand what makes a good butt. Why is that your favorite?

Anna Faris

Oh, man. I was doing a lot of Pilates.

Young Hollywood

Ah.

Anna Faris

So I think that it was getting kind of, you know, kind of round, pretty firm. Um, but now I'm really embarasssed.

Young Hollywood

Uh-oh. No more Pilates. We gotta get you back doing the Pilates. I know. So let's talk about all all the crazy things you're doing. First off, I mean a chipette. Explain what a chipette is in the new Alvin and the Chipmunks.

Anna Faris

I know. Um, I play um Janette, the chipette. It's really weird because you have to do you have to do something really specific, like if my line was like, you guys, we gotta get back to, I don't know, let's say the house. I have to go, You guys. We have to get back to the house. You guys. We have to get back to the house.

Young Hollywood

So is it harder or easier having to do that than than actually being in front of the camera?

Anna Faris

I love doing voicework. I think it's really funny. You don't have to do like hair and makeup and stuff. But you don't um you usually don't work with other actors.

Young Hollywood

Speaking of other actors, what's your number? I mean, some of the funniest people out there. I mean, how do you keep a straight face? Joel McHale. I know. Andy Samberg. Our trainers in it. Um my husband, Chris Pratt.

Chris Pratt

Allie? Donald? Oh, it's you. Hi. Oh, we have nothing to eat. Ronnie, let's go out tonight. I don't know.

Anna Faris

Oh, there's just so many people out there.

Young Hollywood

You're actually his boss. That makes it even crazier cause you're you're producing the film. So at the end of the day, you're the one wearing the pants.

Anna Faris

Yeah. Boss lady. I'm the boss lady. You know it. I like to threaten them. You know, a little bit.

Young Hollywood

What would a threat be? What would you say?

Anna Faris

Yeah. You're not gonna get your donut today if you don't learn your lines.

Young Hollywood

Look at her face. How she does it? I need to see that again. That's very serious.

Anna Faris

It is brilliant. Simon, this is my neighbor, Colin, but he has to go now.

Chris Evans

No, I don't.

Young Hollywood

Does he get nervous at all though? Cause I know sometimes when he's doing interviews, he's definitely on edge.

Anna Faris

Young Hollywood
