The thing is, a lot of people do. I've been getting a lot of people saying, that's my mother-in-law. Lots of mother-in-laws, by the way. That's my mother-in-law. That's my auntie. That's my friend. A few people have professed to being her. Oh, really? Yeah. And I'm like, you're too self-aware. She's not self-aware. She thinks she's nice.

Yeah, totally. He'll call you or email you and say, I'm doing a film. I don't know what it's about. I don't know what you'll be playing in it. But we're going to have fun. And you go, yes, of course. I love that. I love being terrified.

Oh, no. He always says, at the start of every project, he'll say, I want you to bring in a list of people you know from real life. And you go in. I mean, I had over 100 on my list, but he doesn't ask for 100. But he wants more than five or 10.
