Young Hollywood

I'm Oliver Trevena here with Young Hollywood with two gorgeous young ladies, Kat Coiro and Rachel Bilson, how are you?

Director Kat Coiro

Good, how are you doing?

Young Hollywood

I'm I'm I'm great. I mean I'm sitting here with you too, so things are really good. Um, how do you lovely ladies know each other?

Director Kat Coiro

Um, we are working on a project together. It's called BFF and Baby.

Young Hollywood

From your own inspiration is that?

Director Kat Coiro

Um, it was inspired uh, by the birth of my daughter and kind of, you know, the idea of trying to remain young and hip and fun and be a mom at the same time.

Young Hollywood

Um, you are in fact an actress. I

Rachel Bilson

Well, yeah, I guess last time I checked it was.

Young Hollywood

Any desire to move into the directing world?

Rachel Bilson

No, I I'm gonna leave that to Kat and uh, I think it's really amazing and actually um, Kat just did a funny or die piece that was really, really funny.

Director Kat Coiro

They have the mental capacity of two-year-olds. What's your favorite movie? My favorite movie, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Do you like my drama? I wanna play with it. I have to go poop and then I have to go pee pee. Stinky pee pee. I always love the deleted sex scene. That's kind of my fave.

Young Hollywood

And I've seen that one too. Have you?

Director Kat Coiro

Yes, yeah, and I can't stop looking at your chest.

Young Hollywood

I know, it's really hairy.

Director Kat Coiro

It is, yeah. It's so hot. Morning. Hey you. How do you like your eggs? Scrambled.

Young Hollywood

Did you enjoy that? The Funny or Die pieces always get me.

Director Kat Coiro

I did, I enjoyed having a a hairy, you know, body. It was really fun and being a man. It was fun too. It kind of Actually what's under here. So

Young Hollywood

You pulled it off very well. Everyone has seen my chest. Yes. Um, now, how did you find all these actors, actresses to be in your, are you just knocking on their doors?

Director Kat Coiro

Basically, yeah, no. Um. I mean, I have a I have a theory and you you have to weigh in on this. You know, being a woman in Hollywood, you don't often get to be funny if you're really beautiful, but I know a lot of really beautiful women who are funny.

Rachel Bilson

Girls are funny, I think. I mean, a lot of them can be. And I think it's much harder to be funny than dramatic, so if you can do it, you might as well show it off.

Director Kat Coiro

And this movie really is about women relating to each other and being funny and being mothers and, you know, having sex and being sexy, uh, so

Young Hollywood

I like the last two bits.

Director Kat Coiro

You like that? You know, it's for men too, this movie. Yeah.

Young Hollywood

You got me on that. You lost me on the first bit. I was drifting, thinking about what I'm doing later. And then suddenly you pulled me back. All you had to say is sex. Sex. Sex. I'm back. Now onto your project, Waiting For Forever.

Rachel Bilson

Yeah, that was a film I did. Uh, an independent film. It's a sweet movie. So hopefully, you know, it'll come out soon. I'm hoping it does.

Young Hollywood

I haven't seen it, so I can't really talk about. That's not very nice.

Rachel Bilson

I would love to I would love to either. No. You're a friend. Why haven't you seen it?
