00:00 Hello, hello.
00:01 How's it going?
00:02 I love the colour coordination that's going on between you guys at the moment.
00:04 Who's in Josh's suit?
00:05 I do, I'll tell Josh where I go too.
00:06 Is that just like accidental?
00:07 No, that's not accidental.
00:08 But everything's gold here, so it's kind of like your theme.
00:11 I feel like I should have worn something shinier.
00:13 Yeah, you know.
00:14 Anyway.
00:15 You'll probably find something somewhere.
00:16 So congratulations on the movie.
00:19 Sex sells back 12 years when Hunger Games became this like huge phenomenon on the big screen.
00:24 Yeah.
00:25 You're just a kid.
00:26 Would you ever have dreamed of being involved in something of the scale of this that is
00:31 so beloved as this back then?
00:32 No.
00:33 That's what I've been saying is like the 12-year-old me that was just an enormous, like it took
00:40 over my life when I read these books and when I watched the movies.
00:43 And like, I don't know, I wasn't like trying to be an actor either, so I don't think there's
00:49 any way little me could have dreamed up that I would be in these movies later on in my
00:54 life.
00:55 I don't want to scare you, but you look at kind of the trajectory of people like Jennifer
00:59 Lawrence over the course of these movies and in Korea, you're already part of the phenomenon
01:02 in a way with Euphoria.
01:04 Is that something that kind of scares you as much as excites you when you look ahead
01:08 of the future of your career?
01:09 No, I mean like, I feel like it's a big responsibility to like be a part of franchises that are loved
01:18 by a lot of people and people that have like very personal relationships to it.
01:22 There's a lot of responsibility there, which of course is scary, but it's also like kind
01:27 of an honour to take on and I think, I don't know, I'm going to try my best to do the best
01:33 I can with that.
01:34 And for the few people who haven't read the books, who haven't seen the movies, who don't
01:37 know what this is about, what kind of flavour is this movie?
01:39 Is this a good jumping on point for people?
01:42 What's it kind of sell?
01:43 I mean, I think at its heart it's an origin story about like one of the most iconic villains
01:49 from the original series and I don't know, I love an origin story, I love understanding
01:56 how someone came to be who they are and also kind of tackling the thoughts of what makes
02:05 a good person and what makes a bad person and like how that comes to be.
02:09 I think it's really interesting.
02:10 It's really interesting.
