My way. Hey, oh my God! Hi girls! Hi girls. First of all, we're so excited to see this movie. Um we know how much work Tov has been putting into this. These girls have been with Tov Lo, they've been friends for ever, since like Yeah, since like baby child. I'm here with uh Bill and Tom from Tokyo Hotel here at Tov Lo's Lady Wood movie premiere. Hi Bonnie McKeee. Hi, how are you? Good to see you. Good to see you. I like your outfit you got going on here. Thank you. Yeah. Tell me about what happened, what'd you do? Why did you pick this outfit today?
Um well, I'm channeling Blondie tonight, so um yeah. She's kind of an idol of mine, so that's what I'm aiming for.
She is one of the greatest songwriters right now of our generation. I'm going to tell you guys that right now. Bonnie McKeee. Tov Lo, look at what we both have. Oh my God! Oh shit! David, please tell me you're getting that on camera. Please tell me you're getting that on camera. How are you? I'll be dancing. I'll be dancing while your film is going on. Great, sweet. I love that. Okay. This is cool girl and she her body is just straight talking. Um I uh I um I have a little game for you. We got to play games here on the red carpet. It's called under the influence. Okay. It's a normal game under the influence. Have you been under the influence in these circumstances?
Uh yes.
Okay, yes. On a on a flight, have you been under the influence on a flight?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Absolutely. Yeah. Don't remember many flights. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe.
You can plead the fifth. Yeah. Yeah. You are involved in film making now.
Yeah, I mean I can't believe the stage here. It's insane. But I I worked with uh Tim Arm, my director and creative director right there and we just did five videos in five days.
So how was it working with Tov Lo?
Um I mean it's been amazing. It's been it's definitely been the coolest experience I've been through. But I creative direct for her so it's like I've been involved with everything around. It's not only the film, so this isn't her first thing.
You know what you were getting into.
I did a moment's video, I did a close video with Nick Jonas. I did uh these films now. It's been.
You did the Nick Jonas film?
I did the close. If it's this This thing is legit.
Have you been under the influence uh uh when you record music?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Plenty. Oh yeah. I used it with my it was my lubricant in the studio. Like I felt like I had to have it. I don't anymore. I'm doing just fine without it. We don't drink anymore. Born and I don't drink anymore. We don't need to be under the influence. But it is if you want to be under the influence, you can be under the influence. We don't judge people here. We have Lena Esco, the other actress, some here somewhere around here. I play her alter ego, I'm like her Tyler Durden and Fight Club. Okay. So I'm like, I symbolize all the darkness and the obsessions. And she uh just nailed the part of my self-destructive alter ego. And it feels incredible to have like written something and then seeing it like, you know, for me music has always been that but to see the see visually too is a very amazing experience. I still I love emergency. Like literally, like I I I wish we're here we go. Oh yeah.
Uh the director and I, we uh Skyped and then my friends were like, oh, you know, she used to, you know, she supported free nipple for the nipple. I started the movement.
You started the free nipple movement?
I drove for the film. And it's funny cuz she's been supporting free nipple and our paths have cross like have not crossed. And then this project kind of I have three nipples. Just want to say that. I have three nipples out there, guys. So free three nipples on this guy right here.
Yeah. You're very emotional. I feel like even on on camera and with your vocals. Yes, everything. Yeah. You're crying when you record me?
I feel a lot. Yeah. There's some time on on camera that we need to on the film that we need to watch that you really got really emotional. Oh, I think every song. It's going to be I'm very interested to see how people are going to be reacting because it's a it's a very dark, uh very sexual, very like intense film. It's going to make people uncomfortable at times. Uh but I'm very excited to see how people are going to feel after. I think it's going to stir up a lot of emotions that a lot of people don't want to admit that they have. It's like really digging deep and then after seeing that, we're all going to just be like everyone will have their guard down and then what I want to create that escape that I'm kind of always on. And so when people are feeling that they're like, what do I do with this and like we're out there in this rave and we're going to just like escape it all and have a great night. So that's fun.
You're deep. You go deep, girl. You go deep. Have you ever been under the influence while shopping?
Oh yes. Bad idea. Very bad idea. Especially online shopping too.
Can you imagine shopping with you girls? That would be my dream if I could take me shopping. When are we doing that? Okay, let me know, I'll put the Uber address in picking you girls up. Uber. We got the wine. You got the wine. Have you been under the influence on a first date?
