About this episode
Angourie Rice discusses her new film 'Finding Emily' and the concept of embracing cringe in Hollywood.
An unexpected episode topic for one of the most accomplished, coolest people we've had on the podcast - 25-year-old Australian actress, Angourie Rice . You have definitely seen her before as Cady Heron in Tina Fey's Mean Girls Movie with Renee Rapp. She's also starred in The Nice Guys, Spiderman: Homecoming, Ladies in Black, Mare of Easttown and so much more. I chat to Angourie about her brand new film, produced by the same people to bring us Bridget Jones Diary and Love Actually, a rom-com called Finding Emily. Given the perfectly cringe nature of rom-coms, I ask Angourie about her thoughts on embracing cringe, feeling comfortable in Hollywood, what 'cool' is to her and grand romantic gestures.
