Jordana Brewster on Love Scenes & Dallas Women vs L.A. Women

So good to have you back.

Thank you.

Lots changed since the last time we saw you.

Yes.

Congrats.

Thank you.

Wow, how's it going?

It's going really well. Yeah, really smoothly so far. He's seven months, so, you know, I think when he starts walking, it'll be a little more crazy.

Right. People say that once they start, you know, getting away from you. Yeah. But I saw the most adorable picture you posted. He was wearing sunglasses.

Yeah, little baby aters.

Yeah, what Explain baby aters.

They're like aters for babies.

And is it supposed to protect their eyes or is it just a look? Or is it supposed to be good for their

No, it's actually, I mean, in Texas I wasn't worried about it, but here, I mean, the sun's just blaring. So yeah, you have to always wear sunscreen and little sunglasses.

And he looked so cool. He looked like a little LA boy. You liked it. Did you just recently move? Did I read that you did?

I did.

Out of Ellen's house? Ellen's old house?

I did. Yes.

Which is adorable that you used to live in Ellen's and you talked about it on her show how you used to get her mail. Which would be juicy. I would love to get her mail.

Well, at some point I I didn't open it, but one I opened accidentally, which is what I talked to her about. Yeah. Yes. Matthew McCona hates Christmas card.

Yeah. A pretty good one to open. I'd like to open.

With a family photo.

Yeah. I mean, gorgeous. The prettiest family. Prettiest family you could possibly imagine. Yeah. So, talk talk to me a little bit about, you know, sort of like the the difference between Dallas women and LA women. Dallas Now that you've been there for a while.

Well, and in LA, I feel like the pressure's off. I can wear boyfriend jeans and flip-flops and an old tank and just be fine and fit in. Yeah. And then Dallas, the women are very put together. They are, right? Like they will dress like this 24/7. And I'm like, how do you do it? It's kind of, you know, it's commendable, but I don't have the energy or the time, but I'm just like, I'm just gonna rock my uggs and and that's just it's just the southern way.

Yeah, it is. Um, because I think you mentioned you said I could never compete with those women and that's that.

No, it's full makeup, full hair, Starbucks, like it's 7:00 a. m.

Yeah. Really? At the supermarket. And all that.

Yeah. Oh my gosh. I know.

Um, I saw, well, speaking of getting all dressed up and that I saw some really cute pictures that you posted from set this season. One of them was, it was like a a white curtain. It was like a room with like a curtain and you said getting ready for body makeup. And there's only certain shows that you would have to douse your entire body in was it.

It looked like we were on the Dexter set. Um, and the we were we were gonna do a full-on spray because, you know, right before a love scene, you're you're not really wearing much. So you wanna cover everything cuz you never know what they're gonna show.

Right. So it's something you have to worry about on Dallas. How are those love scenes going on Dallas?

They're, you know, the love scenes on Dallas are very, I mean, it's everyone always says this, but they're super technical. It's like, okay, you want me to kiss to the left, you kiss to the right. Like, oh, you wanna show a leg going up. I mean, it's so like technical that it's sort of like lovemaking by numbers.

But does it sort of, I kinda think that sometimes it might give you tips about how to, like in a real scenario, like what's gonna look more attractive. I guess you shouldn't be thinking about those things.

No. I am. I'm like, maybe it would look better if I was doing something like this. I think the worst part is like watching it because there's such a delay, so you watch it like four months later and you're like, oh, that, you know, that wasn't a good choice, or, you know, what were we doing there? Or you just always wanna look like you're perfect.

And what about though, when it's somebody that you've known for a while? Kind of like as a friend. You've hung out on set, and then suddenly, oh, you read in the script, we're gonna have to make out now.

I think it's better for like my husband that I'm making out with people that he's mad and that, you know, are kind of old hat, because it's like because they become like your brother and sister. Like it's just like whatever. Um, although it would be weird to kiss your brother. So they become like your best friend almost, and there's just too much familiarity for it to be that, you know, exciting.

And I read something recently, I think it was that people are asking what you keep in your bag, and you basically said you're like a pack rat, which I love because my bag is always stuffed with. We were just talking about. Are you really? Cuz I'm like, why do I have a handkerchief in here? It's 9:00 a. m. What do I need a handkerchief for? You said you had an eyelash bag. Like that's an occupational hazard working on Dallas. Yeah. So what happens? You just like at the end of the day.

I love, well, I love because, you know, you always wanna be glam on Dallas. So sometimes Frida, our makeup artist would be like, you just woke up. And I'm like, I'm glam. And she's like, you were just in a car crash. I'm glam. Like every every incident, I'm like, but we can do beautiful makeup. Um, so I always have this gorgeous. No, it's no one's gonna say, I mean, on Dallas, no one's gonna say, oh, she has too much makeup on for having just, you know, been in a hospital or whatever. Yeah, they don't call me on it. Um, so we do these beautiful strips of like wing out at the end, and but at the end of the day, I always forget to give them back. So I pull them off. I mean, what would be, I unstick them, basically, unglue them.

You just rip them off.

I rip them off and then put them. You're not supposed to do that. Cause I think it takes like your eyelashes off. Oh, that may have been why my eyes were irritated all season. I thought it was allergies.

Um, no kid hungry. I wanna talk about this charity that you've become involved with, which I think is an amazing, amazing charity. They're awesome. Um. And it's about kids across America who aren't getting proper nutrition and.

Yeah, one in five kids struggles with hunger in America, and I think a lot of people aren't aren't aware of that fact. Um, so No Kid Hungry, uh, goes in and provides, you know, they they provide fun ways of learning about food and nutrition, and they have a campaign right now, um, about breakfast. They're trying to get breakfast to a million kids in the next couple of years. Cuz that's, I mean, that's how you start your day. And if a kid goes to school hungry, like his attention is off, um, his ability to focus in class, his just everything gets affected by that. Um, so they are an awesome organization. I'm very happy to be working about.

Oh, yeah. Your blood sugar levels and yeah. Thanks for coming in.

Thank you.

Congrats on being a mom. Next time we're gonna do what's in your bag.

We should. Yeah. Cuz mine's pretty wacky.

Mine's pretty weird too.

Is it?

Yeah. Yeah. We could see which is weirder.

We could, let's do it.
