Speaker A
No, I'm just kidding. I just stole an ice cream once, but it melted down my school blazer.
Speaker A
Why didn't you eat it straight away? I couldn't because I was in the... I couldn't leave. I was pretending to have a chat to the guy. It was terrible. It was a dare. I'll never steal again.
Speaker A
Kids, don't try this at home. Hi, I'm Isla Fisher and I'm Rosamund Pike and we're here for LUK playing a game called How Well Do You Know Me? My question: which of our co-stars revealed that they are going to donate a kidney to a
Speaker A
stranger this December, calling it a no-brainer? Well, I know someone who gave a kidney to his [music] wife. Yeah, but then they split up and he wishes he could get it back.
Speaker A
No. Are you serious? Oh my god, this is terrible. I don't know this. Is it you? It's not.
Speaker A
Oh, I love that you would think I'm so selfish. I would never give a kidney.
Speaker A
The amount I drink, I need five kidneys. I'd get a kid... Okay. I don't think it would be... I've got to be someone with clean kidneys, right? Someone who thinks their kidneys are worth having.
Speaker A
Yes. Okay. So, who thinks their kidney is worth having? It might be Justice Smith thinks his kidneys are worth having.
Speaker A
Jesse Eisenberg. Oh, isn't that interesting? I've had a lot. It's a bit... He's going to do it this December.
Speaker A
Yeah. And he's literally saving a lot. It's so beautiful. It's so... I've really... It's not even to a family member. It's to a stranger.
Speaker A
He's a very good guy. Yes. I know. And how do you know about this? 'Cause he told you on the news.
Speaker A
He told me about it months ago and I was like, I was really scared for him because I know they have to go on anesthesia and I love him so much but then he's been doing the press tour and he's actually
Speaker A
been talking about it now publicly too. Which of our lovely co-stars buries their acting awards in their garden so they don't... This is so easy. There's no actors that have any awards except for you.
Speaker A
[laughter] So let me guess, Rosamund Pike. It's not official unless it says... [laughter] member of SAG. Who's a member of SAG? Official. No, I... Okay, my turn. My turn.
Speaker A
It's not so I don't clutter up the house. Oh, what is it? It's so that 'cause who?
Speaker A
Yes, you got you. See, I wouldn't want to be friends with her. If I came over and there were too many, I'd feel intimidated like I'm not good enough for her. But hiding them in the garden means that unless... Imagine you buy the house in
Speaker A
the future and then you dig up the garden and you think, "Oh, what's this?" you know, planting around, you know, sometimes then, you know, cats and things move things around, suddenly a hand or a sort of top or something pokes
Speaker A
up. Is there a significance to it? Like, do you feel like spiritually maybe by putting it, by planting into the earth, will it grow into more awards? Is this like a Jack in the Be... I'm going to be surrounded by Oscars?
Speaker A
I think I'm terribly scared of too much psychoanalysis here. Sort of scared of obviously hate criticism because people do also don't like not very easy with praise either. So, yeah, she doesn't like praise. And every time I tell her how brilliant she is,
Speaker A
she acts like her body has a little... I want to bury it in the ground. She wants to bury me. She'll bury me. If I give her another compliment, you'll find me head just poking up.
Speaker A
In the first one, we did do magic, but not to such a, um, practical degree because this one, yeah, this one was really, um, well, I guess my stunts in the other one were... It was mainly aquatic. Like I just spent a
Speaker A
long time learning to hold my breath and practicing for that. Um [music] because I knew what it would involve and the director was very upfront about it. What his expectation was around me going into the water tank and we obviously had real
Speaker A
piranhas in there. I know that's, you know... No, but they're not in the film because when they arrived, sadly, they were underwhelming. They were very small.
Speaker A
They were recast with CGI piranhas because they appeared all the way from the Amazon and looked like honestly the tadpoles you see at the heath, like just those tiny little... Anyway, so no one would have been concerned that I would
Speaker A
be eaten alive by... Sad. I don't know what happened to them. Probably got a new agent.
Speaker A
They now work in smaller tanks where they look larger. And this one, of course, was fun because Ben Sidman and Handsome Jack, as we call him, our other magician, would come to our hotel rooms and annoy us and make us do all the work because
Speaker A
you think how hard can it be to make something disappear? But it's like the weirdest thing. It's like just patting your head and rubbing your stomach.
Speaker A
Something that's so basic that you think you'll get a rhythm for. But I just found magic very hard.
Speaker A
They've been doing it since they were kids, I guess. And their hands just making things disappear and move. I mean, the amount I shoplifted as a kid, I would have thought I would have. Did you shoplift a lot, did you?
Speaker A
No, I'm just kidding. I just stole an ice cream once, but it melted down my school blazer.
Speaker A
Oh, the giveaway. Yeah, it was. Why didn't you eat it straight away? I couldn't because I was in the... I couldn't leave. I was pretending to have a chat to the guy. It was terrible. It was a dare. I'll never steal again.
Speaker A
Kids, don't try this at home. Talking of illegal activities. Oh. Which of your co-stars stole an ice cream [laughter] in a shop in 196... 1996?
Speaker A
96. Yeah, that's right. Too young to get... All right. Okay. Which of your co-stars was arrested in 1996 for planting hemp seeds in Kentucky as a protest and was later acquitted?
Speaker A
I'm going to go with Woody. Safe to guess that it would be Woody Harrelson.
Speaker A
Well, some of our co-stars weren't born. Yes, correct. So, that narrows the field. And a lot of us don't collect hemp.
Speaker A
No, but Woody. Yeah, Woody. Definitely. One of our co-stars competed on Dancing with the Stars and finished as one of the runners up. Who was on Dancing with the Stars?
Speaker A
It must have been Isla. I mean, must have been Ariana. [laughter] I'll take it. I love it. She believed in me as a dancer.
Speaker A
She believed. Must have been Ariana. It was well done. Well done. Rers. Hands down. 100%. I would do Survivor.
Speaker A
Oh, which is so fun. Do you have those skills? You do a bit of physical stuff, but it's all psychological. It's who you form an alliance with, how you sort of take care of each other. It's more... It's more
Speaker A
intellectual than it looks. Have you watched it? Yeah. Bits of it. Yeah. Mike White did it. It's amazing.
Speaker A
It's funny how many showrunners have done it. Ray Judkins, who showran The Wheel of Time, was also the runner up on Survivor.
Speaker A
It's amazing. It's really fun. Um, Isla. Mhm. One of your most impressive co-stars, oh, co-authored two best-selling teen novels with her mother at age 18.
Speaker A
That would be, uh, Isla Fisher. No big [laughter] deal, whatever. It was Isla Fisher.
Speaker A
It was Fisher. Isla Fisher is so good at, like, writing teen novels. Okay, your turn. One of our fabulous co-stars that eliminates most became concerned about the decline of bee populations and so converted a 124-acre ranch into a bee
Speaker A
sanctuary. And they do not wear a beekeeping suit when they visit. Whom is this co-star?
Speaker A
Okay. Well, the only person I think would be bad enough not to wear a suit when looking after bees is Woody Harrelson.
Speaker A
Is that wrong? Wrong. Who can afford 124 acres? Guess again. Morgan Freeman. Correct. Oh, Morgan Freeman. Yeah.
Speaker A
Wow. Okay. Okay. I... I didn't... I was off. I was in Harrelson mode, of course.
Speaker A
Yes. And why? How does he approach the bees without a beekeeping suit? You know this anyway.
Speaker A
I'm sure he gets his assistants, agents, publicists, lawyers. No, I'm just kidding. He approaches himself. She has so many. You can't name a hobby that she's not an expert in. She's like the most car mechanic.
Speaker A
Yeah. You do aviation stuff. You, her kids speak Chinese. I mean, she's like a... what's called an overachiever.
Speaker A
I mean, I'd say my only exciting hobby is midnight snacking. You've g...
Speaker A
really well into a triangle so that your all your supermarket bags can get really small and into a triangle? That's a useful hobby.
Speaker A
That is a useful hobby. I can make candle I do a lot every Christmas I give everyone candles as gifts. I get these Yeah. Yeah. just with the vera glass on a delivery service and then I just buy
Speaker A
all the beeswax and I heat it in a double boiler like when you make a chocolate cake just heat it up and then you add a fragrance. So if I knew what you like if you love jasmine or lavender
Speaker A
whatever you like I'll make a woody whatever I and then I'll make a candle and then I have bergamot and rose.
Speaker A
Yeah. And then I do a sticker. I do a cute sticker. You like Tom Cruz. You'll send a present to everyone you've ever worked with of a candle like he you do that.
Speaker A
Yeah. I don't do that. I do it more like the school. I do like all moms on the chat group and all those kind of I do it more for like that's amazing for moms than I do for like my fancier friends. I
Speaker A
tend to just sort of ignore them really cuz they're because they have too many present too many presents.
Speaker A
I know what I would want to be what I would want to be a doctor. I'm obsessed.
Speaker A
Me I was going to say the same thing. Wait, really? I'm obsessed with medicine. I am obsessed. And my friend who I've got all my friends are doctors.
Speaker A
All my female [music] friends are doctors. And my one of my besties is like you can literally work in my office any day. She'll I'll say give me the like give me the symptoms and I will get it right every time.
Speaker A
I I'm also fascinated by medicine and I think if I hadn't been an actor and I would have I would have gone tried to do a medical degree.
Speaker A
She would have done like surgery and major stuff. I would have been just a regular GP. I'm Isa Fischer and I'm Rosman Pike and that was how well do you know me?
Speaker A
Thanks.
