Seth Rogen

Yeah. You already have in that smart, yeah.

Young Hollywood

How did you end up getting this lovely young lady on board?

Seth Rogen

Yes. Ah, we asked.

Young Hollywood

Yes. Is that it?

Seth Rogen

Yes.

Young Hollywood

So you get anything?

Seth Rogen

It's not easy. It's not easy.

Cameron Diaz

You are, you are. Say yes. That's what I need to do more. You just got to ask me. I need to just put it out there.

Seth Rogen

You just gotta put it out there, yeah.

Young Hollywood

You want to do this? And you said yes.

Cameron Diaz

I said, yeah. From the time that they said, hey, there's this movie that Seth Rogen and Michel Gondry are doing together. I was like, what are you talking about? That's a crazy and by the way, it's a superhero movie, comic book movie. I'm like, what are you talking about?

Young Hollywood

Did you not actually know each other beforehand?

Cameron Diaz

No. I was on a flight to to London. I watched Pineapple Express three times whilst I was on it. Everybody was trying to sleep and I was laughing so loud, out loud, that I was just like, I was crying and people would get up like with their face, you know, sleeping masks and pull them up and they'd stare at me and give me a glare. And I was like, it's almost over, so. And then I started it over again.

Young Hollywood

What do you get up to in your spare time?

Seth Rogen

Um, I've been doing a lot of spelunking.

Young Hollywood

Nice. Cave diving. It's amazing. I did a little cave diving.

Seth Rogen

No, I've never done that.

Young Hollywood

Is that, is that what spelunking is, cave diving?

Seth Rogen

Yeah, cave diving.

Young Hollywood

Okay, because if you'd have asked that, I would have gone for something completely different.

Seth Rogen

Exactly. It's cave exploring. It's not cave. It's more cave.

Young Hollywood

Okay. Okay. There's a line, they have like a line that goes.

Seth Rogen

I just wanted to say the word spelunking. It's a good word.

Young Hollywood

It's a fantastic word. No idea how to spell it.

Seth Rogen

It's kind of phonetic, I think. Spelunking. S P E L U N K I N G.

Young Hollywood

Okay, maybe. Just don't say it wrong, because it can really get you in trouble. I've been spelunking myself.

Seth Rogen

No, yeah. If you say spelunking, you say spe-unking.

Young Hollywood

Exactly. And you, apart from spelunking?

Cameron Diaz

What have I been doing? I went truffle hunting this last fall.

Young Hollywood

Oh, that's awesome.

Cameron Diaz

I hunted those little bastards down. I dug 'em up.

Young Hollywood

Did you get any?

Cameron Diaz

I can't keep 'em, though.

Young Hollywood

Why?

Cameron Diaz

They don't last long. No. Well, you, you know, you go with the gentleman who

Young Hollywood

Oh, and they're his.

Cameron Diaz

And they're his. Yeah. Thank you. And I was like, wait a second. I just helped you find now a truffle this big. Perfect. Why don't I just, why don't I just toss it to me? If you want these truffles, you gotta pay for 'em. I was like, I just dug them out of the dirt.

Young Hollywood

The Green Hornet. And it's a very old comic, and it was once a TV show, that's right?

Seth Rogen

Yeah, it was a TV show. Uh, it started as a radio show in the 30s and then it was a a TV show in the 60s. And the reason most people know it is because it's the first thing Bruce Lee was ever on in America.

Young Hollywood

Did you guys do your own stunts in the, in the film?

Cameron Diaz

Well, I don't have any stunts.

Seth Rogen

Yeah, she only has one brief part where she kind of beats the crap out of me and Kato.

Young Hollywood

You did that yourself. There was no stunt lady around.

Cameron Diaz

Didn't need that.

Young Hollywood

Apparently you actually chose to do that. You put your hands up, yeah.

Seth Rogen

Yeah, she was like, oh whack the crap out of them. Definitely.

Young Hollywood

Yes. Is this actually in the film? I'll do it anyway.

Seth Rogen

It is. Yeah, exactly.

Young Hollywood

Did you experience the driving, the car driving, because you went down to the track once, is that right?

Cameron Diaz

Yeah. I, I don't drive the car in the movie, but, um, I got to do the driving. Yeah. And, you know, we went out there just like It was awesome. It was one of the most fun things I've ever done in my entire life, I have to say. Oh no. And I've always thought, like, can I just take my car to a parking lot and do that? But I would never want to do that.

Seth Rogen

Spelunking is amazing. Let me get you a spelunking scarf.

Young Hollywood

Perfect. I need a napkin.
