I'm Oliver Trevena here at the Young Hollywood Studio with this gorgeous girl. Kate Mara. How are you?
Pretty good.
What was that?
That was me being sort of flattered, but also embarrassed at the same time.
Well, you should be flattered because she is gorgeous. Look at her. Little bundle of Flirt. Flirt. Wow, usually I'm the flirt here. Flirt. Like you didn't know. Onto your stuff. Happy
Thank you.
More, please. Tell us about the film.
It's about like three youngish couples, uh, who
Yeah, youngish.
Well, like late 20's, which is youngish. Youngish, Hollywood. Can we stop running? I'm almost 30. I I think I am the youngest in the film, which I'm pretty proud of. Uh, but No, there is there's a little boy in the movie so I'm not the youngest.
It's Josh Radner, isn't it?
Josh Radner. How How I met your mother?
How How I met your mother?
Yeah, he wrote, directed, starred in, and he cast me as his dream girl, so
What does that say?
Yeah.
But didn't you go out for a different part first?
No, you know what? I stupidly read the script and said, oh, I think I would be great as um this other role.
Is he feeding you? What are you eating? Don't answer that.
You're like, you're totally not right for that part, but it's nice to meet you. And a couple weeks later, he left me a message on my phone and said, you know, I know you wanted to play this other part, but you're actually perfect for the role of Mississippi. And so I was like, sure.
And he's singing it, and you can sing as well, can't you?
Well, I don't know, you'd have to be the judge of that.
I will be.
I do sing a mean karaoke version of uh The Little Mermaid, Part of Your World.
Are we likely to get The Little Mermaid right now?
No. No. No chance.
Okay. That was a long shot, I knew that. Um, what else do you like to do in your spare time? I know you're married.
I love to go on hikes. You know that.
I do know that. Got two dogs.
Yeah.
Olly's got a dog. That's my impression of one of our dogs, Bruno. What? Go on. No, it's more than that. Yeah, there it is. There it is. It's my dog, Bruno. Okay. Um, what about the other dogs.
Uh, yeah. I like to hang out with my dogs. So cool. And I like to go to the movies. I see everything.
Nice. Guess what I saw the other day.
What?
Justin Bieber in 3D.
What? Was it good?
So good.
You got a crush?
Not a crush. I mean, not a crush. All these grown women walking around saying that they're in love with Justin Bieber. Lock 'em up. I went with four men. Lock them up too. Who really loves him? All five of you. I'll see you in Target. So, she got her jacket from Target. Beautiful jacket. Whatever. I love Target.
I love it too, that's why I'm plugging it.
What else can we drop real quick so we get some free stuff? Uh, House. Says.
