00:00 They have no idea. I was like, "Hey guys, I'm going to the premiere of the first movie I directed,"
00:04 and they're just like watching cartoons, like eating popcorn. All right, well, whatever.
00:08 And working with your hubby, Brian, how cool is that?
00:12 It's very cool, but also Brian's directed me in so many great auditions, and so I think he's a
00:17 fantastic director, and I've seen how hard he worked on this film, and just to come to fruition
00:22 all of his hard work is just really remarkable. How about working with each other? How are you
00:26 supporting each other with a movie that is heavy? I was hanging back and taking care of the kids
00:31 because there were six months at a time, so I feel like I had a harder job, but this is how we
00:37 support each other. We show up and we hold it down, and we encourage each other to chase after
00:43 their dreams. And you've been very transparent. When you first had the boys, you were like,
00:46 "Oh, this motherhood thing is so difficult. It's a lot going on." How is that now for you, Jamie?
00:51 You know, it's a different kind of toughness. I mean, it's certainly more rewarding now that
00:58 they're interacting with you, and you see their personalities shine through, and even when they
01:03 say, "Thank you," or when they start sharing their toys, it's a really sweet thing. Like,
01:07 "We have something to do with that." I just spoke with your wife, Jamie Chung,
01:10 and I'm talking to her about playing alongside you, but then she kind of threw you under the
01:13 bus, and she was like, "Listen, I had a harder role than him. I had the babies."
01:16 That's true. That's true.
01:19 Working with your wife, what did you learn new about her? What was that dynamic?
01:23 I mean, she just blows me away as an actor. She just came and delivered. I knew she has
01:28 the depth that this role required. For her to not only let me go away for two months while the kids
01:36 were six months old, but then also to come on set and just have a mic drop performance, it's like,
01:43 I'm just so proud of her, and I love her so much, and I'm so in debt to her.
01:47 In what ways did your appreciation for her grow with the transformation of this film?
01:52 I mean, it's just, she's had my back. I mean, it's like, this has been a dream of mine for a
01:58 long time, and she supported me through it, and that's amazing. None of us would be here without
02:07 her support.
02:07 Do the kids know how cool their parents are? Do they know that dad and mom are famous?
02:11 They have no idea. I was like, "Hey, guys, I'm going to the premiere of the first movie I
02:14 directed," and they're just watching cartoons, eating popcorn. I'm like, "All right, well,
02:18 whatever."
02:19 Is this a film that you would ever let them watch when they get older?
02:22 Yeah, when they're older, for sure, yeah.
02:24 One of my final questions for you. Oh, I have to ask you this. Fatherhood,
02:27 so she was telling me how difficult... Well, I remember she did several interviews early on
02:31 saying it was just so difficult for her, you and her, in the beginning, being parents. How
02:36 was that adjustment now? Is it even more difficult? I know they're going to start
02:38 moving and doing all this stuff now.
02:40 Yeah, they're on the move. They got opinions. It's difficult, but it's beautiful. I wouldn't
02:46 trade it for the world. I mean, yeah, it certainly has its challenges, especially two at once.
02:49 Hardest part?
02:51 Hardest part is the 6, 7 a.m. wake-ups every day. No matter what you do the night before,
02:56 they don't care.
02:57 I think you're like, "Ugh."
02:58 Yeah, they don't care. No days off.
02:59 And the best part?
03:00 Best part is just their laughs and just seeing the world through their eyes and how they light
03:05 up over the simplest things, and it just reminds you of why we're really here.
