00:00It's shocking how much goes down your shirt.
00:04It's actually...
00:05Hi, I'm Jessica Chastain and I'm playing Pop Quiz with Marie Claire.
00:12What is the best gift you've received?
00:14Someone made me a photo album, like scrapbook.
00:17It was really sweet because they had collected things, not just the pictures, but like tickets
00:24and poems and they glued some sand in from a certain beach.
00:30It was very, very sweet.
00:35Word your friends would use to describe you?
00:37Loyal.
00:38Super loyal.
00:39Oh my god, why does it do that?
00:43Last song you got stuck in your head?
00:46I'm around kids a lot, so I tend to get a lot of kids songs stuck in my head.
00:50I don't know, probably Frozen.
00:52That's like a...
00:53That's a go-to in our house.
00:56Word that makes you cringe?
00:57Cringe, actually.
00:59I'm so sick of that word.
01:00I think it's really cringey.
01:04Last book I read?
01:07I read Joan Didion's Slavaging Towards Bethlehem.
01:15I was in Austria this summer.
01:18Great short stories.
01:20That was rough.
01:24How did you make your first dollar?
01:26Probably cleaning people's bathrooms.
01:29When I was a little kid, I had this theater group, I guess, that I started in my neighborhood
01:40and we would go door to door and clean people's houses and we were called the Dirtbusters.
01:46We sang the Ghostbusters song, you know?
01:49Ooh, two for one!
01:52What should every woman try at least once in her life?
01:56Everything.
01:57You should try everything at least once in your life.
02:00Guilty pleasure watch on TV or streamer.
02:03I'm a housewives person.
02:09I hate it so much!
02:13Do you have any secret talents?
02:18I can, it's not really a secret, but I can do this.
02:24Like a witch, like Bewitched.
02:25Now y'all know, I'm a witch.
02:30Go to late night snack.
02:33Wine, delicious wine.
02:42What makes you feel most powerful and confident?
02:46Actually when I'm eating healthy food.
02:50I definitely notice a change in my mood when I'm eating junk food that tastes so good.
02:58And when I eat healthy for a few days, I feel like I'm a superhero and I just gotta keep
03:06reminding myself that.
03:08What advice would you give your younger self?
03:11People are happier with you when you stop trying to please them.
03:20The number one thing on your bucket list?
03:23It would probably be, well, I don't know because there are things I want to do, but it's not
03:29like the thing I want to do before I die, but like I've always wanted to go to Nepal.
03:36That would be really special.
03:39Those are done.
03:41My most starstruck moment?
03:45It had to have been when I met Gary Oldman.
03:48It was 2011 on the red carpet at the Palm Spring.
03:52Oh, and Oprah.
03:54Hmm.
03:55Both I started crying.
03:57Both my starstruck moments, it was Gary Oldman approached me at the Palm Spring Film Festival
04:03red carpet after I was just talking about him in an interview saying that I saw him
04:08at lunch earlier today and I was too shy to go up.
04:11And then he approached me and said he saw me at lunch earlier in the day and he was
04:13too shy to come up to me, which was insane.
04:18And then when I met Oprah, I tried to avoid her now because I really embarrassed myself.
04:23I like, I think Anne Hathaway introduced me to her at some event and I turned around,
04:30she's like, have you met Oprah?
04:32And I looked at her and I again started crying and I think I said as I was crying, you raised
04:38me, which is probably an uncomfortable thing for a stranger to tell you, but she was very
04:44gracious and graceful.
04:46So yeah, that's it.
04:49That's my pop quiz.
04:50Thanks for watching.
