I think I did my own hair and make-up.
I love this car and everything.
Thank you.
It's cool.
Okay, so, first of all, it was so good to see this film on a big screen.
Yes.
Popcorn movies are back and we can actually go outside.
Totally.
And then I realized it's been 20 years since the first one.
So I was wondering, do you remember the first day on set on the first film?
I remember the first table read and then I remember filming in the Toretto House and at the Toretto Market the first time and how wild that was.
Yeah, and it feels so long ago and then sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday.
It's so crazy.
There is that chance that you could trip and fall, you know, but...
Did you get any injuries ever?
No, I mean, Jordana did it too and she cut open her hand.
She needed stitches in her hand pretty well, but she's pretty tough about it.
Do you remember the red carpet and the premiere and stuff like that?
I remember the premiere in Westwood and how I think I did my own hair and make-up.
Back in the day things were so different.
Jordana said kissing you was the best part of the movie.
Oh my gosh, I love her right now.
Where is she at?
I want to give her another kiss.
You'll find her.
And then I also remember traveling to Deauville Film Festival and showing it there and it was so different for me to travel with a movie and to have it be such a huge deal because I thought we were making a relatively small movie.
I didn't realize how huge it was going to be and how much it was going to catch on.
So that was such a surprise.
It was very cool.
Your character has evolved and so probably has your driving skills.
Would you say that you're...
How has your driving skills evolved?
Back in the day, when I first...
I moved from Los Angeles, from New York to Los Angeles.
So I wasn't a good driver.
I didn't feel comfortable.
I would put on MapQuest to use GPS and I would avoid freeways, highways, which was really difficult in Los Angeles.
And I was very shy as a driver.
And now I'm super aggressive.
I do like to speed.
I'm a little bit impatient.
So I'm a very comfortable driver now.
So it definitely has changed.
Do you have like a favorite car that you drove in the movies throughout the time?
In the movies, I love...
Gosh, I have to remember exactly what model it was.
But it was the beautiful car in Fast Five when I escape off the train.
And it's that beautiful sleek silver car.
That's a beautiful sports car.
But in real life, I drive a Range Rover because it's high up and good visibility.
I just need to drive like a big car.
Yes, you have a lot of fight scenes in this film.
How is that for you?
Do you enjoy preparing for those kind of scenes?
I love it.
I think it's a shame if you're in a Fast and Furious franchise and you don't get to fight and get physical.
And that's something I really, really wanted to do.
So to be able to do that with Michelle also was so much fun.
And we trained really hard for it.
And then it's almost like a dance.
You choreograph it, you memorize all the different parts.
And then because you have to prepare because the day of, Justin might choose to shoot it out of order or he might choose to shoot certain angles of it.
And so it was really fun.
Hopefully I get more of that in the future.
Have you watched it yourself?
What was that like when you see yourself in those kind of scenes?
So I watched the film about a month and a half ago, also in a theater.
And I was so grateful I saw it in a theater because it needs that.
I mean, you need the surround sound and you need to be able to like, just the scope of the film deserves the big screen.
And I just, I was so proud.
I was so proud of seeing that scene.
And it was also exciting to see the bond between Letty and Mia because I feel like that's something that hasn't been there in the past.
So it was really cool to watch.
Do you ever watch the old movies?
I do.
I watch the old movies before we start shooting the films themselves because it's good to get a sense of the chronology of everything and also where we're at in the story.
And it's just, it's a good way of doing my homework.
So I put in like 18 hours watching like six to eight of the movies because I think it's relevant in terms of the character arcs and all of that.
And fun to see yourself like years ago too.
Yeah, yeah, because oftentimes I forget.
And I look back and I'm like, oh wow, one's really good.
One totally holds up.
And Mia was really, really tough in one.
One and five are two of my favorites.
Great.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
You look so amazing.
Oh, thank you.
