-We are joined right now by one of my favorite people on Earth,
-
one of my favorite actors.
-
She's a very talented actor who stars in the film
-
"Wander Darkly,"
-
which is in select theaters and on demand today.
-
Here is Sienna Miller. Ah, look at you.
-
Come on. I'm so happy to see you.
-
-I'm so happy to see you. -Look at how festive it is.
-
-...festive. It's so festive.
-
Everything is.
-
Is this -- are you in London? Are you back in London?
-
-Lapland.
-
-Where?
-
-Lapland. -What's that now?
-
-That's where Father Christmas lives, Lapland.
-
-I've never heard that. That's not true.
-
I've never heard that. -Are you kidding me?
-
You've never heard of Lapland?
-
-No, Lapland? No, never.
-
North Pole? -Right.
-
It's in English, it's potato, potahto, tomato, tomahto.
-
-I love even the way you said "right,"
-
you went right into an American accent.
-
You go, "Right." -Right. Right.
-
-Right. Santa -- Santa Claus -- Father Christmas.
-
-Father Christmas. [ Laughter ]
-
-I love Chri-- I want to go to England in Christmas.
-
I feel like it's the best place for Christmas.
-
-It's pretty cozy right now.
-
-How was your quarantine in New York?
-
I heard that you were here. -It was interesting.
-
I mean, it was kind of -- initially it was fun.
-
It was like a perpetual snow day.
-
I liked that bit, it was like, "Ooh, hunker down."
-
And then it got repetitive. -Yeah.
-
-And I'm not a natural teacher. I really tried.
-
I'm sure you're in the same boat.
-
-Oh, my gosh. I love teachers so much.
-
I'm like, oh, my gosh.
-
I can't even imagine. -I mean, those guys, yeah.
-
-How old is your daughter now, is she 8?
-
-She's 8. -Yeah, because Winnie's 7, yeah.
-
You brought a video, which I'm excited to show,
-
because you were having fun with Marlowe.
-
What does she -- she has a hoverboard?
-
How did you make this? -She has a hoverboard,
-
and we had some cardboard boxes
-
that had, at one point, food in them.
-
And of course you get creative when you have an only child
-
and it's lockdown.
-
So we made the hoverboard into a car.
-
And I feel like the mood of it
-
is essentially the state of mind that we've all been in
-
in our family. -Let's take a look.
-
Here's Sienna and her daughter having fun during quarantine.
-
Take a look.
-
-Yeah.
-
Whoa, whoa! [ Crash ]
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-She's okay, right? Yeah.
-
-She's fine. -That's so cute.
-
-They kind of got a few laughs, yeah.
-
-Whew! -Yeah.
-
-Sienna, before we talk about "Wander Darkly,"
-
I know you got to work with the late Chadwick Boseman
-
on "21 Bridges."
-
We all miss him.
-
You recently in an article told this story
-
about how he gave up some of his salary
-
from that movie to increase your salary,
-
because you weren't being paid equally.
-
I was just wondering, could I hear the story?
-
Like, how did that happen?
-
-It just feels like an unprecedented thing
-
in Hollywood, in the town that we work in.
-
-Yeah.
-
-It's something that everybody talks about,
-
which is the pay disparity between men and women,
-
and obviously there should be one between me
-
and "Black Panther,"
-
like I get it, that's totally fine.
-
But we were in a negotiation to do this film,
-
which I really wanted to do.
-
And I had a number in mind that I felt was fair,
-
and the studio wouldn't meet that number,
-
and Chadwick was not only starring in this film
-
but was also producing it.
-
And he donated some of his salary
-
to get me to the number that I had asked for.
-
And never mentioned it, never sort of asked for any thanks.
-
I, of course, towards the end of shooting with him approached him
-
and was just like, "What you did was the most astounding thing
-
that anyone has ever really done for me in this town."
-
And it's so validating and so generous
-
and so respectful and dignified,
-
and just eternally grateful.
-
And he said,
-
"You got paid what you deserve to be paid."
-
And that's it. Like...
-
-I love that you talked about that,
-
because people need to bring up
-
that uncomfortable conversation every time,
-
until you don't need to have that conversation any more.
-
-I think other actors, as well. That was part of the reason
-
that I said it, because I think other actors I've spoken to
-
about it -- not publicly, but before I said it --
-
were really inspired by that.
-
I think it's a wakeup call for a lot of people to see
-
that kind of act of generosity,
-
and maybe think about their own behavior.
-
And it starts with one person doing one thing, you know?
-
That's how change happens, and he was remarkable.
-
-I love it. I want to talk about
-
your new movie, "Wander Darkly."
-
This is a really beautiful film.
-
It premiered at Sundance earlier this year, and...
-
I don't know if I've ever seen a movie quite like this.
-
How do you set this up?
-
-It's a hard one to talk about.
-
It's basically a couple who just had a baby.
-
Me and Diego Luna, who's the sweetest man.
-
-I love Diego Luna. He's great.
-
-I know. -He's really fun.
-
-He's the best.
-
And we're not getting on, we've had a new baby,
-
surprise, surprise, it's like things are difficult.
-
We get into -- yep.
-
We get into a car accident,
-
and my character thinks she died.
-
So it's kind of on this journey.
-
He's the only person that can see her, and we go back
-
to the inception of our relationship --
-
I know it's confusing. -No.
-
-And we kind of go through the moments
-
where we went wrong and we sort of unpick those moments.
-
Like, the pivot moments where something happened
-
that kind of put us on the wrong track.
-
That was what was beautiful. But it's very surreal.
-
It's very dream-like.
-
-How was it like seeing it with an audience?
-
-It was amazing, because it was like the last kind of
-
collective experience that I had.
-
It was like a snot fest.
-
Everybody was crying and sharing tissues.
-
It was probably a super spreader event.
-
-That was the original title.
-
-"Snot Fest"? -"Snot Fest," yeah.
-
They changed -- I'm happy that changed it
-
because I think the title you have now is much, much better.
-
It's more romantic and more emotional.
-
But they were considering "Snot Fest" for a long time.
-
-Sundance is so fun as well. It was great.
-
-I want to show everyone a clip.
-
Here is Sienna Miller in "Wander Darkly."
-
Take a look.
-
-You weren't there with Ellie.
-
Where do you go? What happens to you?
-
You just -- you get scared and then what?
-
You just -- you disappear?
-
-You concussed. That's it.
-
-No.
-
I died. I can step into traffic now,
-
it wouldn't matter. -Hey!
-
Hey.
-
It's okay.
-
-What is this, like, purgatory?
-
What's -- what's happening to me?
-
-Just hold on to me. Hmm?
-
[ Horn honks ]
-
-Sienna Miller, "Wander Darkly"
-
is in select theaters and on demand today.
-
"Wander Darkly." Thank you so much
-
for being here, buddy.
-
Hug the baby and I hope to see you soon, pal.
-
Stay safe. -Bye.
