00:00 Have you ever been starstruck on the red carpet?
00:02 Please elaborate.
00:03 [drumroll]
00:08 Okay.
00:09 Hi, Vogue. I'm Zendaya.
00:11 I'm Florence.
00:13 I'm Timothee Chalamet.
00:14 And this is Off the Cut.
00:16 Since when did we not say your last name?
00:18 I was really confused.
00:19 Sorry, I was going to let you guys introduce yourselves.
00:22 I was like, "Gah, my name's Florence."
00:24 What are you both listening to right now?
00:26 Flight. A lot of Flight.
00:28 This morning it was Missy Elliott.
00:30 Because I needed to get the vibes going.
00:32 I needed to get the energy up.
00:33 Was it your alarm?
00:34 It wasn't my alarm. Could you imagine? Work it!
00:36 Interesting fact you learned recently.
00:39 An interesting fact I learned recently...
00:43 I slept too hard last night.
00:45 We learned a few facts about each other.
00:46 Josh Brolin was part of the Rodeo Drive Athletics Club.
00:49 Yes.
00:50 Okay. Timothee.
00:51 What's a fun fact about you that I don't know yet?
00:55 Well, I should have done a warm-up for this.
00:58 Fun fact about me is that...
01:01 I don't have any fun facts.
01:07 These ones are hard.
01:08 These are hard.
01:09 When you're in the hot seat, you can't think of anything.
01:11 You can't think of anything right now.
01:12 I don't know any interesting facts.
01:13 I know a fun fact about me is I like a really nice pair of sheets.
01:16 There you go.
01:17 I know what you're getting for Christmas next year.
01:19 Some wool sheets.
01:21 The scratchiest sheets I can find.
01:25 Florence, can you tell me about the first time that we met?
01:28 Actually, do you remember this?
01:29 Well, there's a few times that we met.
01:31 I remember the first-first.
01:32 At the awards season?
01:34 At the dinner.
01:35 Oh my God, you're going to have to rejog my memory.
01:36 Anyway.
01:37 No, go on, tell me.
01:38 The whole story is not appropriate.
01:39 But it was just like...
01:40 I don't know, you were just like, "What are you doing?"
01:42 I was?
01:43 Yeah, Timmy was...
01:44 Oh, oh, oh, because you were not doing that.
01:47 What happened?
01:49 No, but it was lovely and friendly.
01:51 It was really lovely and friendly.
01:53 And Florence had just done Macbeth.
01:55 And then we were going to do Little Women together.
01:57 And we were going to see Little Women, yeah.
01:58 That was the dinner where I got there.
01:59 And then there was like one camera guy in front of the restaurant.
02:02 And I thought, "All right, if I sprint, they're not going to get me."
02:06 But then they got through to me with the dumbest...
02:08 Sprint.
02:09 Sprint.
02:10 I got a double chin poking out.
02:12 I'm like, "I don't look athletic."
02:14 Anyway.
02:15 Oh, it's my go.
02:16 How long did it take you both to finish reading Dune?
02:18 Oh, good question.
02:19 The first time, it took me a lot longer.
02:22 I read it three times.
02:23 The second time, I audiobooked it.
02:24 I don't know if that counts.
02:25 That time, I found it easier to parse through.
02:28 And the third time, I loved it through and through.
02:29 The first time, I struggled with it because the structure was just unlike anything I'd read before.
02:36 It's so big.
02:37 I mean, not the size, but the world that you're imagining.
02:39 Yeah.
02:40 When I met Deneath for the first time, I basically read like 70% of the book.
02:44 And I'd annotated it really intensely.
02:46 And I made sure to bring it to the meeting.
02:47 So we saw little Post-its jumping out of the book.
02:50 Trying to sell.
02:51 Preparation.
02:52 Yeah.
02:53 And I'm halfway through Messiah.
02:54 Like you, I started a little bit before this one.
02:56 And I thought, I can't get ahead of it yet.
02:58 It's a lot.
02:59 Yeah, because the tone's different, too.
03:00 It's different.
03:01 Pick one of these two accessories to add as a staple to your everyday wardrobe.
03:06 The nose plug.
03:07 Okay.
03:08 Okay.
03:09 Or the mask snorkel.
03:12 I would go with your nose plug.
03:13 Nose plug?
03:14 I love those nose plugs.
03:15 Really?
03:16 Yeah.
03:17 As someone who wore them.
03:18 Not fun.
03:19 But then this is just going to be the same as the mask.
03:22 That's why I love it.
03:23 Acne and stuff.
03:24 I mean, it's a little plastic.
03:25 A little plastic.
03:26 I kind of already have a bit of thing in my nose.
03:28 I don't know.
03:29 This isn't too far from reality.
03:31 And I kind of like being able to wear a mask.
03:33 Because, yeah, I can get around and nobody can see you.
03:36 You go mask.
03:37 Yeah.
03:38 I'm going mask, too.
03:39 Groovy.
03:40 You go on plugs.
03:41 I'll go plugs.
03:42 Go plugs.
03:43 What are your favorite looks from Dune or Dune Part 2?
03:45 My favorite look from Dune Part 1 is Lady Jessica's gorgeous hair.
03:48 And it's Lady Jessica's blue dress.
03:50 Oh, yeah.
03:51 It's my favorite.
03:52 It's the tumbling in the wind that really does it for me.
03:55 I would say my favorite, oh my gosh, the costumes are so good.
04:00 And I'm jealous of all of them because I just wore the stealth suit the whole time.
04:04 You look great in the stealth suit.
04:06 Thanks, but, you know, when I see you guys in flowers.
04:09 And you still look fantastic.
04:10 Thanks.
04:11 It's a joke.
04:12 Thanks.
04:13 I appreciate that.
04:14 Okay.
04:15 Okay, here we go.
04:16 I think it's you.
04:17 I did.
04:18 It's your go.
04:19 Okay.
04:20 Florence.
04:21 Yes.
04:22 Do you have a favorite on set moment from working on Dune?
04:23 On the final week that I was working, we were doing this massive ensemble scene where in
04:27 between takes, Christopher Walken and I would be talking about which donuts we wanted to
04:31 eat.
04:32 So now, for everyone, I watch that scene.
04:34 I'll know that the only thing on mine and his mind is that we're thinking about what
04:38 donut we want to save next time.
04:40 I was generally too nervous to talk to him.
04:42 I was like.
04:43 Yeah.
04:44 I mean, yeah.
04:45 Hi, sir.
04:46 I couldn't speak.
04:47 I was too nervous.
04:48 Zendaya, what was your last day on set like?
04:51 I think my last moment on set is my last moment in the movie.
04:55 Really?
04:56 That was the last thing that I shot.
04:57 So, I mean, everybody came because we were in, you know, obviously in the middle of the
05:01 desert and it was a beautiful sunset happening and everybody came and everybody was crying
05:06 and it was emotional and it was bittersweet and all the things that I think your rap date
05:11 is.
05:12 Yeah.
05:13 I'm going to do this one again because I like this.
05:14 Can either of you tell me what this still is from?
05:16 Oh, God.
05:17 No.
05:18 One of my first YouTube videos moving on.
05:21 Moving on.
05:23 Very sweet.
05:24 I can't get into that.
05:25 I haven't.
05:26 You know, we'll see.
05:27 Does it still exist?
05:28 Oh, yeah.
05:29 If you would ever like to just laugh, go ahead.
05:31 Find it.
05:32 Timothy, do you remember what your first day on set was like?
05:36 My first day on set, they'd already started shooting and I was coming from like Willy
05:39 Wonka land.
05:40 So, I remember coming to set, I was visiting and there was like a slow pushing of a Harkin
05:43 and I remember just like walking back to my trailer.
05:46 I was like, "Holy shit, I'm really back in Dune universe."
05:51 And just having to recalibrate and not go to the mental hospital because it was just
05:55 like such a culture shock to go from a very cheery, colorful, happy, chocolate landscape
06:01 to like a very intense sci-fi universe.
06:04 Follow up question.
06:05 Who said the line, "This is a place for happy, smiley faces and lots of love and dancing"?
06:09 See, why are we still bringing these up?
06:12 Moving on.
06:13 Moving on.
06:14 I think it was your go, so you cheated.
06:16 Yeah.
06:17 What about this picture?
06:18 What is this from?
06:19 That's from moddedcontroller360youtube.com/
06:23 Is this you?
06:24 That's me when I sold controllers.
06:25 It's custom game controllers.
06:26 That's custom Red Tiger, baby.
06:28 With nail varnish?
06:29 No, with spray paint.
06:31 That's what my parents were like, "You're ruining the apartment."
06:33 Spray paint, chips everywhere, it smells like shit.
06:35 Okay.
06:36 When can we expect a new video from moddedcontroller360?
06:39 Moddedcontroller360, well, jobless for now.
06:42 You know, acting's going well, but if it ever goes south, you'll see me modding controllers once more.
06:47 Oh, this is a good one.
06:48 Do you have a terrible audition experience?
06:50 Absolutely.
06:51 Yeah.
06:52 Absolutely.
06:53 White Boy Rick.
06:54 Have you seen that movie?
06:55 I know the movie, yeah.
06:56 I went in there, I was like, "This is it.
06:58 This is it."
06:59 Yann Demange is the director, and I've run to him enough times, he's like, "Stop telling that story."
07:04 He's like, "Your career is great.
07:05 You don't need to keep bringing it up."
07:06 It's okay.
07:07 I've prepped it so hard, and from the second I opened my mouth, I was like, "This is not for me."
07:11 What about when you have to react to explosions, and then that's it?
07:15 I feel like I was a beast at that.
07:17 I was always really bad at that.
07:19 I would place it in different parts of the room.
07:20 You know what was going on?
07:21 Yeah, in my bedroom it would look great, but when I was in front of five people, but someone's texting, they're like--
07:27 Absolutely, or eating a salad, or someone--
07:29 Or getting to go and pick up the phone in the next room.
07:32 Sorry, I'm just going to go get that.
07:33 I'm like, "Okay."
07:35 I came out with Skittles once in a cash register.
07:37 You know Skittles rot your teeth?
07:38 Oh, great.
07:39 Thank you, Mom.
07:40 Didn't get that one, did you?
07:41 Didn't get that one.
07:42 Didn't get that one.
07:43 Have you ever been starstruck on the red carpet?
07:44 Please elaborate.
07:45 Starstruck, like not being able to speak?
07:47 Not-- I don't think so.
07:51 I think I'm just more excited to meet them, but I've never been a weirdo in front of someone,
07:56 and I'm really happy that I've never been a weirdo in front of someone.
07:58 What about you?
07:59 I don't know.
08:00 On a red carpet, I don't think I've ever had that specific experience.
08:04 I lie.
08:05 The other night, Oprah.
08:06 Oh, okay, there you go.
08:07 Yeah, I walked past her and I went, "Oh my God, it's you guys!"
08:10 And she was like, "Oh my God, that's crazy, but..."
08:13 Okay, these are quick.
08:16 Coffee or tea?
08:17 Coffee, for sure.
08:18 Tea.
08:19 Okay.
08:20 You know, I've been getting into it.
08:21 Yes?
08:22 I've been getting into it.
08:23 With the milk?
08:24 Yes, with milk and sugar.
08:25 Yeah.
08:26 Because I'm a child.
08:27 New York or LA?
08:28 New York.
08:29 I get the best out of both by going to both.
08:31 Okay.
08:32 I'll let you have that.
08:33 LA or London?
08:34 It's the same, but...
08:35 It's different.
08:36 Okay, here's a good one.
08:37 Going out or staying in?
08:38 Staying in.
08:39 I knew that.
08:40 What about you, Kla?
08:41 Both.
08:42 I got a good one.
08:43 Can you guess where this look is from?
08:44 I can.
08:48 That's Zendaya's Met Ball.
08:49 She had the auburn hair, red and reddish.
08:52 Yes.
08:53 You want auburn?
08:54 Absolutely.
08:55 Beautiful.
08:56 Here we go.
08:57 Morning or night?
08:58 Night, for sure.
08:59 Definitely night, yeah.
09:00 This says, "Do you have a favorite press look for Dune Part 1?"
09:02 I liked Zendaya's Paris look, the Alaia.
09:05 Yeah, you both looked amazing for that press too.
09:07 We're excited to have all of you guys join us now.
09:11 It's going to be dangerous.
09:12 It's not just us.
09:13 We have more.
09:14 It's going to be a force miss.
09:15 It's going to be amazing.
09:16 It's going to be a lot of fabric.
09:17 A lot of fabric.
09:18 A lot of fabric.
09:19 Looks being served.
09:20 A lot of looks.
09:21 Thank you so much for hanging out with us, and we hope you enjoy Dune, just as much as
09:24 we enjoy making it, right?
09:26 Oh, yeah.
09:27 Oh, yeah.
09:28 Oh, yeah.
09:29 Very much so.
09:30 Enjoy the process.
09:31 Enjoy the process.
09:32 Enjoy the process.
09:33 Enjoy the process.
09:34 Enjoy the process.
