Today, she jokes about her action hero status, being a mum, cringing over her old television interviews she did at age14 year while promoting Blue Lagoon, and why she’ll never let her daughter act while she’s a child.
Q: So what was it like getting back together with Michelle (Rodgriguez) and how has she changed from when you last worked with her? Is she kicking your ass more than she did before?
What are you trying to say? That she ever kicked my ass? (laughs) She’s just as fun as ever. I think the thing I love about Michelle now is that she’s much more relaxed, much more confident and comfortable with who she is. When I first met her, she was wild and crazy and trying to be like the old way we were in our 20s, and I can see she’s chilled out now. We talk about books together. When we first met, we were just clubbing all the time, our relationship was pretty much working and going to clubs. And now it’s like, after work, she’ll go home and read a book and I’ll go home and play with my daughter and go to sleep. So, clubs have been replaced with books and children.
Q: How is it to be a top assassin and then go home and feed your kid dinner and be a soft person again?
Well because I’m not an assassin, I’m an actress. (laughs) I’m not a real assassin! I’m pretending!
Q: But to tough and the badass queen?
Well, the toughest part is putting on that frickin’ body suit and keeping it up. The gag reel is going to be hilarious.
Q: But does your daughter understand what you do?
Oh yeah. She’s complete set baby. She’s understood that when papa says “action”, or any director for that matter, like if she comes on a commercial with me, you don’t talk until they say “cut”, she’s known that for years. She knew that on the last one when she was one and a half, two, but one this one, she actually met zombies. (laughs) Because on the last one, I don’t know what genius put this floor plan together, but they had my trailer right across from the zombie makeup trailer on Afterlife, or whatever the last Resident Evil movie I did was called. (laughs) And literally, I come in, I’m seeing zombies walking in and out right in front of my trailer, I said to the AD, “Are you having a laugh, mate?” Like seriously, I have a one and a half year old child, that’s going to be coming in about an hour and a half to eat lunch with me and I’ve got zombies walking in front of my trailer? But then Arianna, who is this little actress in the movie, became really good friends with her. Then she went to find Arianna who was in the makeup trailer with the zombies and she saw that her friend wasn’t scared, so she was fine. And now she’s scaring them, chasing them around. It was so cute; I mean she is definitely, probably the only four year old in the world that is not scared of zombies.
Q: She’s going to be scared of puppies and kittens.
Dude, she was scared of a My Little Pony cartoon the other day, (laughter) she was like, “why is the pony so scary?” (laughter) Zombies are fine, but My Little Pony got scary.
