I saw you at the premiere the other night for a simple favor.
So, you, your husband Ryan, we love Ryan Reynolds.
We love Ryan Reynolds.
-♪♪♪♪
So, you guys are out there, and you're wearing a gorgeous outfit, and I want to show a picture of the outfit that you're wearing.
It's actually a men's suit, believe it or not.
Is that real? Yeah.
It is.
But what nobody really realizes, see the look of horror on my face?
Like, I'm trying to, like, look like, you know, like have a J-Lo face, but I'm also kind of like this because I didn't realize it was see-through, the shirt.
So, that's not a look that I was going for because it's a men's shirt.
I didn't know they made, like, see-through.
Wait, so you didn't realize this is a see-through shirt?
No, so I'm in my hotel.
That's a men's suit.
Yeah, but with the flash, it goes see-through, and I'm in my hotel, and I call, and I say, hey, can I have, like, the mechanical department?
And they said, what do you need?
I said, I need duct tape, quick.
And they were like, is there a pipe broken?
And I was like, no, no, no.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And they were like, we have packing tape.
I'm like, that's see-through, so I'm just gonna walk around, like, crunchy-sounding.
Oh, my gosh, packing tape.
I was like, I was just so worried because, like, I'm wearing this thing, and then when I open my arms to put my arms around people, it just is like, you know.
Okay, okay, yeah, okay, interesting, yeah.
And you know when you're, like, freaking out about something, and you know that that's all anyone else is seeing.
You're like, you know, you're aware of it, so everything everyone says is, like, you know, pointing out this thing that you're paranoid about that no one's really noticing.
Yeah, of course, yeah.
So, I'm on the red carpet, and then this guy goes,
Blake, Blake, your tits are amazing!
Wait, what?
Right? And I was like, wait, what?
Excuse me?
And he was like, your tits are amazing!
And I was like, are we saying that?
Like, is this, like, have you been on Google in the past year?
Like, this is not okay.
You don't talk like that, no.
And the woman's, like, next to him goes, well, I mean, they are.
And I was like, well, thank you.
But, and he's like, and your husband's tits are even better!
And I was like, oh, tweets.
Oh, tweets, oh, my God.
My tweets, my tweets are amazing.
I don't know how to react to everything.
Your tweets are amazing.
Your tits are amazing, yeah.
Tweets, oh, okay, much better, yeah.
It was like, oh, my gosh.
And then I was like, I was so relieved that it was about my mind, and then after, I was like, well, like, how are my, like, how are they?
Yeah, enough about my tweets, yeah.
Who cares about what's in a woman's head?
How are my, you know.
Let's talk about the movie,
A Simple Favor.
This is Paul Feig.
This guy directed Bridesmaids.
I mean, super funny guy.
Is that what made you do the movie?
Well, yeah, I mean, I found out
Paul Feig was doing another movie, and I said, yes, I want to do it.
He didn't even want me to do it at this point.
But I was, like, just tracking him down, and then I read, finally got to read the script, and the script was a thriller.
So that was a little confusing to me because he's, like, such a funny director.
Yeah.
And so I said, you know, what is this?
Because the script is definitely, like, a twisting, turning, intense thriller.
Is it a comedy or a thriller?
And he said, yes.
So then every day on set,
I was like, is today a comedy or is it a thriller?
And it's a good mix of both.
Yeah, it's, like, really kind of over-the-top and campy and trashy and fun and, like, you know, kind of like my outfit, I guess.
No, it's, like, I'd say, like,
Gone Girl kind of mixed in with, like, a good, like...
With Dynasty.
Dynasty.
But really funny.
Yeah, it was funny.
You're so funny in the movie.
Oh, thank you.
I was at the wardrobe.
It's always great, your wardrobe.
But in this movie, on top of it, is beautiful.
But then it's real.
There's so many twists.
Well, explain what the film's about, if you can.
So the film is about two unlikely friends.
One is a mommy blogger, and another is a woman who works in New York City, who's my character.
And they become friends, and one day my character asks the other mommy, Anna Kendrick, to pick her kid up at school, and then she goes missing.
She completely disappears.
So what happens?
So the simple thing is, hey, can you watch my kid?
Yeah.
Yeah, I'll watch your kid, and then you leave forever.
Which is, like, probably what I'm going to do to you one day.
You're like, wait, what?
I don't know.
I mean, I was like, wait, okay.
If there's vacations I'd like to go on,
I can drop my kid off to you.
But that's where you go, oh, well, that's it.
So then she has to raise the kid, and that's what the movie's about.
Yeah, and then...
Or maybe not.
Lots of twists and turns.
Lots of twists and turns, because maybe, I don't know, maybe you come back.
I don't know.
Maybe I come back.
But maybe you don't.
Maybe I don't.
I don't know.
If it's flashback, I don't know what's happening.
Is she dead?
Is she alive?
I don't know if she's alive.
I don't want to spoil anything.
How are her tweets?
How are her...
Teeth?
She has amazing tweets.
It's super good.
It's super funny.
I want to show everyone a clip here.
Here's Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick in A Simple Favor.
Take a look at this.
Okay.
A little bit of vermouth.
Swirl it around.
Dump.
Don't you dare touch that washcloth.
Then add in the gin.
Mmm.
Cut your twist.
Squeeze it.
Outside out.
Get a nice little mist.
Lick the edges.
Voila.
And don't add ice.
Ever.
We don't like ice anymore?
It ruins everything.
Tough day at work?
I just need to hit the reset button sometimes.
Oh, cheers.
Cheers.
Swirl it down.
Make me one of those?
That's how you do it right there!
Blake Lively, everybody!
