Maestro's Bradley Cooper & Carey Mulligan Test How Well They Know Each Other

Name one song from my husband's band.

[Bradley humming]

[both laughing]

[bright music]

Hi, I'm Carey Mulligan.

And I'm Bradley Cooper.

And today we're going to test each other

to see how well we know each other for Vanity Fair.

[bright music]

Oh, when's my birthday?

I'm so embarrassed I don't know

your birthday. No, that's all right.

Just have a guess. Yeah, I will.

When do you think I was born?

I'm sending it to you.

Wait, let me think about this.

Was it during the movie?

Yeah.

It's like a nice middle of the year kind of birthday.

Okay.

Like, it's nicely spaced.

Do I say it out loud?

Right now? Yeah.

May 28th. [bell dinging]

Are you fucking kidding me?

I saw your card. Oh.

[both laughing]

[disappointing music]

I thought you were a genius.

Well, I saw it.

I did write it.

I wrote it so big, to be fair.

[bright music]

Okay, well done. Thank you.

Which movie of mine that I was in

featured the first time I had an on-screen kiss?

Oh, God.

A movie.

Yeah. So not a TV show.

A movie on-screen kiss.

[clears throat] I'm not trying to cheat.

It looked like I was trying to cheat.

Wedding Crashers?

Wet Hot American Summer.

Oh. [disappointing music]

Michael Ian Black.

Obvious, okay.

Who plays my love interest in Promising Young Woman?

Don't you have a few?

Oh.

Rude.

No, I have one.

Well, my love interest.

[stuttering] Bo Barnum.

Burnham. Burnham.

Burnham. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nailed it. That was good.

That was good, yeah. Yeah, okay.

What is my favorite comfort TV series?

Oh...

Oh, okay, can I just think about my options?

Because I do feel like I do sort of know this.

Well, there's a new one.

Okay, so shows that I know that you love.

I know you love Chef's Table.

I know you love The Crown, but they're not comfort.

You're not gonna know, 'cause I just discovered it.

Below Deck.

Never seen it. Hmm.

That was the question. What is it then?

Oh, Love on the Spectrum.

Oh. [buzzer buzzing]

It's insane. I love that show too.

Name one song from my husband's band.

Oh, I don't know names of songs.

Okay, well can you sing a line from any song?

[Bradley humming]

[both laughing]

That was almost a line.

Yeah, yeah. Go on.

You get a bonus point if you-

♪ Mother ♪

Mother, what? Mother...

[both laughing]

You like the band. I love the band.

Yeah, I'm not good with the lyrics.

Okay.

All right, well I'm not gonna give you any points then.

Okay. [disappointing music]

We are crushing this.

[both laughing]

What's my biggest pet peeve?

Rudeness.

Sorry, oh gosh, we're bad at this [chuckling].

Isn't it though?

Sure is. [bell dinging]

[Carey] Yeah, I do know that.

We're so connected.

No, but that is your your pet peeve.

Yeah, yeah, you're right, you're right.

What was the hardest scene for me to perform in Maestro?

The scene in the Palm Court.

[Carey gasps] [bell dinging]

That's what I was writing.

What is my weirdest on-set habit?

I dunno.

I'm trying to think about weird things that you do.

I had to think about it.

I don't know if it's weird.

Gimme a hint.

I'm trying not to look.

Like, what would have happened?

Like, we'd be talking and then all of a sudden-

Oh, oh, oh, oh.

Then all of a sudden you go...

[bell dings] Yeah, that's right.

And I'd be like, Uh, okay.

And by the end you were totally-

Yeah, by the end- There was nothing.

And then I would go [exhales].

Just take a little minute out of my day.

[Bradley laughing]

Yeah, closing his eyes midway through a sentence

and just like disappearing from the universe

for as long as it took for him to figure out

what he wanted to say.

Is that what you wrote?

Yeah I said, Pausing for a long period.

Yeah. Like that.

Yeah.

Is it my turn [clears throat]?

Which Ryan, nope [laughing].

I just said the answer.

[both laughing]

You said the answer? Yeah.

I was meant to say which Golden Globe Nominee for Best Song

starred with me in the film Drive,

but I went, Which Ryan?

Okay.

Oh shit.

I just had a long nap.

What's my weirdest on-set habit?

Yeah, you definitely don't have any.

You have none.

You think you have one?

[bell dings] I don't.

Yeah. I don't.

Oh, it's good. No, I don't have any.

There you go.

Who was my dream director to work with?

Oh...

Write it down.

Well, I don't know.

This is one, but there's...

Paul Thomas Anderson?

It was. [buzzer buzzing]

But I worked with him.

Jonathan Glazer.

Oh, dream to work with that you haven't?

Yeah, yeah. Oh, Jonathan Glazer.

Yeah, yeah, right.

Which doctor did I work with

in my episode of Doctor Who?

[Bradley flaps lips]

Do you know what Doctor Who is?

[scoffs] Yes. Do you?

Which doctor, like.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Yeah.

Which actor that played Doctor Who-

An actress? did I?

An actress? No, it's an actor.

Oh, I don't know.

Do you know any of the actors

that have played Doctor Who?

Matt, Matt? No.

No.

Wasn't he one? He was, but not my one.

[Bradley] I don't know any other ones.

David Tennant. [buzzer buzzing]

Oh, wow. Yeah.

Yeah, also the bonus question, which you'll doubly not know,

is... [both laughing]

what Monster did I face? The Kraken.

[Carey laughing]

The Weeping Angels, actually.

What album would I take with me on a desert island?

I don't even know the answer to that.

I guess- I'll have a little think.

Is it Radiohead?

Oh, that's probably more true than what I wrote.

[bell dings] What did you write?

Hunky Dory by David Bowie.

Oh.

What was my first non-acting job?

Oh boy.

In the service industry?

I guess, yeah.

Haberdashery. [both snickering]

Yes, I was a haberdasher.

That's correct. Is it?

No, I was a cleaner.

Oh. [disappointing music]

Oh, who is my dream dinner guest?

You know this.

Think about it.

Who would be like dream dinner guest?

Oh!

Lenny. Yeah.

Lenny.

Yeah, nice.

How many plays have I been in?

Skylight, the other one, there was another one.

Four?

No, one- Way more?

Yeah, not way more. Six?

Forty Winks, Seagull, Hypochondriac,

Through a Glass Darkly, Skylight, Girls & Boys.

So I said six was my- Did you say six?

Well, I said four then I said six.

Yeah, six.

Nailed it.

Yeah, I've seen her in two plays.

Skylight and then- Girls & Boys.

Girls & Boys.

You're never gonna know, yeah.

How many plays have I been in on and off Broadway?

I feel like you've been in millions

because haven't you? Yeah.

You like... Yeah.

I think maybe just Broadway is the better question.

Just Broadway? Yeah.

That you can probably figure out.

Like...

Five. Two.

Oh. [both laughing]

[disappointing music]

You were definitely trying to get me to get that one wrong.

How many hours did I spend in makeup

for older, unwell Felicia?

I mean, probably two.

Two and a half? Four.

[buzzer buzzing] Was it four?

It was four. Wow.

Yeah, but we only did it a few times.

Okay, what is my character's favorite football team

from Silver Linings Playbook?

Like American football? Yeah.

I mean- I mean, think about it.

No, I'm- You know.

Eagles? Yeah.

[bell dings] Yeah.

It's a team effort.

Well played. Well done.

Well played, well played. Yeah, well done.

I'll never forget it. Yeah.

Wait, when's your birthday?

No, you've just had your birthday.
