Hi, this is Jessica Alba, and this is everything we dio on set on L.

A s finest.

A typical Monday when we have to be at work around 6.

30 AM I'll wake up around 4 45.

I'll wake up an hour and a half before I have to be on set.

So if I have to be there by seven, I'll wake up at, like five.

31st thing idea in the morning is go to the bathroom with my phone.

I check to see if the world is ended on what's going on.

I usually drink water.

Look over with disdain, cash because he's usually able to sleep peacefully.

Sometimes I'll look at the phone, but only briefly turn on the shower, try to wake up in the shower.

Then I brushed my teeth, and then I get the car and head to the team.

If you're in for equipment on our stage is it usually takes me from home 22 minutes from the gym, about 35 minutes.

It takes me about 45 minutes to get there.

I usually have my first cup of coffee at work, so 30 in the morning.

It is like the first Cup and then continue to pour lots of caffeine into my mouth that I'm hoping will go into my bloodstream quickly as possible.

We go straight into hair and makeup.

We've gotten it down to a science where hair and makeup are doing us simultaneously.

That way, we were able to sleep longer and we're not on The clock is long, so I think, yeah, we have down between 40 and 45 minutes to get dressed.

It's like two minutes and then you walk to set.

So it's probably around an hour to an hour and 15 from the time we arrived on set to the time we get our first shot off, it just depends on whether you to be driven to set.

I like to Scooter to set the scripts dictate the days If we're on a stage, we may utilize all of our sets on a stage so it will feel like different locations.

But we're really in 11 location.

If we're in downtown Los Angeles, let's say way may shoot in East L.

A.

During the day, and then our nighttime scenes might be in a beer, multiple locations in downtown Los Angeles or in East L.

A.

It's really expensive to shoot in the streets and block them off and all of that.

So they do try to get a lot done, and it's the work period of time.

One of my favorite things, Thio insist on is no first shot of the day because a lot of times when you try to do a rehearsal, you'll start hair and makeup.

You'll break.

You'll set up the shot, go back to hair and makeup.

It can kind of derailed the day because there's actors.

We like to talk and ask questions, and it can kind of delay getting that first shot and see another day.

I I always suggest with the first shot of the day that they set it up themselves, and then we will come on set fully made up and wired our stand and show us the blocking.

We might make minor adjustments, and then we get to get a graphic.

Other times you need to reverse before it's complex and you have big white shots and there's dialogue.

And so it just depends on the scene.

The cruise time is 7 a.m. Then we'll eat at one.

But if the cruise call is at 6 12 the cater really just does different things every day.

Generally a beef of fish, a chicken or pasta is you know, all kinds of different things.

Everyone has different dietary, you know, like once Gabby always has lots of delicious snacks and she's very healthy.

And I'm always like, you know, really wanting Thio b is healthy is her so.

But I also I like Thio get a lot of delivery like, I'll look up the local restaurants and just try different stuff, but just double order, like three from three different restaurants.

You're like, Oh, you ordered all of that.

Okay, Yes, but it's on Lee because they cancel on me.

And I'm so disappointed.

So I have to order from different places in case it gets canceled in the 11th hour.

Get hungry.

I have, like, the big bags of Suraj popcorn like dashed in my trailer at all times.

Yeah, I seaweed knots, crudity and lots of salad dressing and hot sauce.

If we have a lot of downtime and we know we're gonna have a lot of downtime running our families come.

Our kids come try to make the most of our days.

So if you have if you know you're gonna end up with a to our break, that will be the time we scheduled visits or work calls.

I play words with friends Obsessively.

I tried to keep up with all of my work emails, and I find that it's really challenging for me to constantly stay on top of that.

So I'm usually behind playing ketchup on work stuff.

I don't think about our longest day was this season.

Sometimes it did get long, but if we're in the beginning of the day, they'll try toe, make it.

So we're not in the scenes at the end of the day, things like that because if we're in every scene from beginning to end, it just wears you down.

I mean, the goal is to not go over 12 hours.

That would be it just kind of depends on how much we have gotten done.

It's fun being in this production in particular because we really get thio have a voice and the development of the show.

Overall, tonally, we can be part of that collaborative process and then also in the way that our characters are are brought to life.

So we really do have a seat at the table.

And so for me, it's really fun to not just essentially be a puppet, which, Ah, lot of times you can feel that way so much is out of your control.

As an actor, we really do get to participate in so many ways.

Way just lucked out that we really like the people that we work with.

And it's always a good feeling to be a part of the solution, being able to be a part of creating a new, equitable, fun workplace and providing opportunity and economic opportunity for so many people and having a a truly diverse cast and production and talking the talk and walking the walk it it feels good.

We're twisting and turning upside down a lot of stereotypes.

So we have very present fathers as our partners in bringing the show tow life that value their time with their families and need to be home for a lot of those family moments like breakfast and getting the kids you know, up and out and ready for school and picking them up after school and homework and bedtime and bath time.

So our partners, writers, showrunners producers are present fathers and then on the flip.

Gava and I are both women of color starring in a genre that is not very typical where you see women like us.

It's very typical to see men and to see people of color as heroes and your women is in itself just really empowering and exciting that we're doing something that is paving the way for others.

I take off my makeup, you know, I take off my wig if I'm wearing one on Ben, we treat my hair and my scalp to make sure you know my hair is healthy and my scalp it's healthy.

I usually jump in the car and I clip out my my.

We've toss it to my hairdresser, and she's always grateful when it's not, you know, left in a random place, and I actually handed to her because it has been left in random places Way do makeup remover and a steam towel.

I usually, like, remove my makeup in the car with one hand on the way home.

We've kind of gotten that down to a science so like E could get it done in a little is 10 minutes.

And if I'm just moving slow, but any way got off its sick so I might not get home until seven.

It's just whatever L A traffic dictates.

Dinner is usually at, like seven in my house.

Cobb's operation shut it down starts at 5 30 so her dinner is usually around 4 45 5.

So I may or may not be home for that and then everyone else.

It kind of depends on what time they get home from school.

Or were.

We do different stuff.

Sometimes we dio delivery of boxes that we'll cook.

Other times we'll order in, and then it's bathing.

The baby honor and haven over this time have learned how to bathe the baby by themselves and give him his none night baba and put them down to bed without screaming.

So it's like the whole new world.

My true wind down is when honor and haven are reading in their beds.

When the last person has come home and all the electron ICS air off, the TV is turned off, and we can all kind of have that silence in that piece that can start around eight.

I try to start as quickly as possible, just relaxing, preparing for the next day, having whatever necessary conversations I need tohave.

If that's a glass of wine, probably like nine.

Get into a bathtub and put on a face mask and like go on Pinterest and look at things that I won't be buying but curating dream backyards and such unwinding with a show or whatever.

I try to get eight hours of sleep a day.

I need eight hours.

E.

Need it for my brain, my soul, my heart, my body e I probably and Lucky Thio get six.

It's usually five.

Yeah, it's not right.

Thank you so much.

Vanity Fair.

And thank you for watching everything we dio in a day on set.
