Hi.
Great to see you again.
Good to see you again.
So first of all, you look beautiful.
You look fantastic.
You too.
Thank you so much.
Even though it's been a couple of days since the Emmys,
you probably went partying afterwards, right?
You know I'm not very much a party person.
So I tried.
But I was very jet-lagged, so I lasted until 11:00.
Oh, well, that's not bad.
That's a lot for me.
Because Versace won.
So congratulations.
Thank you.
And you were fantastic.
[APPLAUSE AND CHEERING]
You were fantastic in that role.
Thank you so much.
And how did Javier gain that kind of weight?
That must have been really hard to watch him.
He must have been eating, because he gained
so much weight for that role.
Yes, a lot So he was excited about all the junk food
that he could eat for the role.
Yeah.
So he likes junk food?
Yeah.
But after the movie, he became also very, very healthy again.
Because that's hard to gain that much.
And then how long did it take him to gain it, and how much--
how long to lose it?
I think to gain it was fast.
[INAUDIBLE] eating.
But then to lose it, it takes a while.
But he's--
Did you-- did you like him with that mustache and that weight
on?
No.
Not at all.
At the end of the shooting, I didn't
want to see him like that ever again.
Yeah sure.
Especially after we showed the scene at the cathedral, which
is so dark, and it was so tough to do,
I just wanted to run away from there.
Did you?
Of course, like you separate fiction from reality
as much as you can.
But there is that part of you that,
of course, that's going to get affected.
Yeah.
But you all worked together a lot.
A lot.
But it's only our second time that we were together,
being already a couple.
And these characters are pretty intense.
And he plays Pablo Escobar.
I play--
And tell people--
I'm sorry.
Tell people what Loving Pablo is about.
So he is Pablo Escobar.
And my character is Virginia Vallejo, this journalist
that trained him in his political career
and was a very important figure in that time in his life.
And they spend almost 10 years together.
And she tried to get out of that relationship so many times.
She almost lost her life a few times.
I never met her, but she sold the rights of the book.
The script is based more or less on the book--
not completely, but there is a lot from that.
And I had so much material work to document myself,
because she was also an actress, she was a journalist.
I had hours and hours of material
where she was explaining about herself,
her life, and the relationship with Pablo.
And it's a very disturbing subject, as you can imagine.
Yeah, it is.
And so I have to ask you about it,
because we were talking about that you went to the party.
You didn't last long.
The dress that you were wearing, which was beautiful, but do you
think about what that is after you take the picture,
that you actually have to function in that all night
long?
Like Was that hard to keep on all night long?
I always think about that.
But of course, that was easy compared to one time
that I was at the Oscars, wearing a very big gown.
And I was breastfeeding my son or my daughter at that time.
And I had to take the pump machine with me to the Oscars.
And in the commercial break, that's
what I was doing, pumping milk in the bathroom.
So of course, people cannot imagine,
like it's not that glamorous.
Because if you're dressed like that, it's like,
a lot of other things go on.
Yeah, well, that would be an easy one,
because you just flip it down.
But sometimes--
[LAUGHTER]
--you have to take the whole thing off.
That's easy.
They should make that.
Because a lot of women have to go to the Oscars
and pump at the same time.
They should make a gown, because most of the material
is from waist down.
If they make it big enough, the pumps could be inside.
Yeah, include it in the outfit.
Include it and make it look like it's there for a reason.
But it's actually a pump.
No one would hear the noise or anything.
And you and Darren Criss were on stage whispering something
to each other when you all won.
What were you talking about?
I don't know.
We're always whispering.
We're always planning about going to his karaoke bar.
Probably it was about that.
He's lovely, and Ricky, and Edgar, and all of them.
I mean, Ryan, who is a very close friend of yours,
he's this magician that everything he does
is so incredible, so good.
He's a very special guy.
And he's calling attention to really important things.
And like I said, you were fantastic as Donna Versace.
You were just amazing.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Loving Pablo is in theaters and on demand starting October 5th.
And we'll be right back--
Penelope Cruz.
