Zoë Kravitz Replies to Fans on the Internet | Actually Me

What's up, GQ?

I'm Zoe Kravitz.

Today I'm going undercover on the internet.

[ambient music]

It's actually me.

[keyboard clicking]

Okay, let's check Twitter.

Zoe Kravitz was Mary Jane in Into the Spider Verse?

I was, I voiced Mary Jane,

Chris and Phil are friends of mine,

and they called me up and asked me if I would do the voice.

It was such a fun project to be a part of

and the movie is so amazing.

So yeah, fun little fact.

I love doing animated voiceover work.

I would like to do more.

I think it's such an amazing art form,

and it's just crazy to see what they can do now

and bring something to life through voice.

It's cool.

When is Big Little Lies coming back on?

Quit playing with me.

I know.

I don't think it is.

We talked about doing a season three a lot,

and unfortunately Jean Mark Valet, our incredible director,

passed away this last year,

which is heartbreaking,

and I just can't imagine going on without him.

He really was the visionary for that show.

So unfortunately it's done.

Next.

Carrie Bradshaw. Zoe as Carrie is probably my favorite

fancast I thought of.

Well thanks.

I mean I'm a huge Sex in the City fan, like huge.

Like I can quote every episode.

I mean no one can play Carrie but Carrie,

only Carrie can play Carrie.

Sarah Jessica Parker, you know, that's the holy grail.

But I would, you know,

I'd play like her friend or something.

The new Samantha.

No, just kidding.

Samantha, I love you.

Okay, I'm admittedly late

to getting the chance to watch this,

but Zoe Kravitz High Fidelity remake is goddamn great.

Thank you so much.

Deserved a second season.

And also, how many people can say they starred

in a TV reboot of a movie their mom was in?

That's true.

My mother was in the original film,

which was one of my favorite movies growing up,

and thank you.

I thought it was a really good show too.

We had a lot of fun making it,

the cast was amazing, and I think there was a lot of places

for this story and the world to go,

but unfortunately Hulu did not agree,

and now we are in TV heaven.

But thanks for watching.

Wah. Posted.

Quora? Quora?

What's Quora?

What does Zoe Kravitz think of Robert Pattinson as Batman?

[laughing] Obviously think he's very good.

I think he's great.

I think he did incredible work.

I think that he made the character his own,

which is really hard to do with something that we've seen so

many times before and that we've all grown up with.

I think that he brought humanity to the character as well,

which was really hard to do.

There are so many restrictions in terms of, you know,

kind of being able to emote when you're wearing that mask.

You know, you can't really move that much

and they can't really see your face so much,

and so it's a big challenge,

and I think he did an amazing job.

Go Rob.

Next, Is Zoe Kravitz singing in Big Little Lies?

Yep, that's me.

That's me singing.

You know, I was pre-recorded,

so I went to the studio and and sang the song.

It was really fun.

It was a cool cover.

We recorded that scene so many times.

We did it so many times over and over again.

And because my character was singing in the background

of a lot of other things that were going on,

I sang that song like a hundred times and I think by the end

everybody in the cast and crew, including myself,

did not want to hear it anymore,

so it's actually really triggering.

But yeah, that was me singing.

[Zoe laughs]

How many tattoos does Zoe Kravitz have?

I don't know.

I've lost count.

I don't know.

I got my first tattoo when I was 18,

'cause my parents wouldn't let me get one until I was 18.

I've had some removed,

I get some put back.

I mean I've just like, it's crazy.

I have no idea.

I do think you should be like 35 before you can get tattoos,

because you get them and then you don't like them anymore.

I have no idea.

I have so many little ones.

I feel like it's like in the thirties, forties?

Replied.

TikTok, where the young kids... go.

Oh hello.

It's a picture of me and my dad wearing matching jackets.

Family full of icons.

Thank you.

I wonder what family dinner is like, lol.

I mean, it depends.

If me and my father are eating good food together,

we're only talking about the food.

Like my dad likes to give commentary, you know, it's like,

Oh the chicken, and then the crispiness,

and you have to dip it in the sauce, and try it like-

It's like, we just talk about what we're eating

as we're eating it, 'cause we're big foodies.

Yeah, the LK food commentary is legendary.

The way Zoe Kravitz gives off tall energy

had me convinced that she was five 10.

What? How tall is she?

Okay, well thank you very much.

I am not five 10.

I am very short.

[Zoe laughs]

I am five, one and half.

[laughing] I am a tiny person.

The amount of times that I get reminded how small I am

is often, you know,

you like go to the airport and they're like,

You are so much shorter in person.

You're like, Thank you for the reminder.

Petite, as my mom would say.

She doesn't like the word short.

She always says you're petite.

So I am petite.

Wikipedia, where nothing is true.

Kravitz landed her first film role while in high school

playing a babysitter hired by

Catherine Zeta-Jones' character in 2007

romantic comedy, No Reservations.

That is true.

That was my first job, and I played a gothic babysitter.

When I went to the audition, I went in full goth makeup,

which is why I think I got that part.

I was committed.

All I did really, acting, you know,

when I was in school I was kind of an average student,

and I was in drama club and that was always

where I had the most fun and and made the most friends

and it was just where I felt comfortable,

and I never really thought about doing it as a career

until high school ended,

and it was just the only thing that I had ever really done.

So I just kind of kept it going.

Kravitz is set to make her directorial debut with

Pussy Island, which she also co-wrote and co-produced.

That is true.

I directed the film this summer.

I'm in post now,

I'm editing, and it was a very wild ride.

It's really crazy how actors have no idea

what it takes to make a film.

I've been on hundreds of film sets,

and I just now learned what it takes to make a movie.

So it was a great learning experience for me.

Wish me luck, you guys.

Okay. Reddit.

So obsessed with Reese Witherspoon's piece on Zoe Kravitz

for the TIME100.

Must have been such an incredible feeling to be chosen.

Yes it was.

And to have Reese do the writeup.

Yeah, crazy.

Crazy that I was in the TIME100, quite an honor.

And to have someone as incredible as Reese and someone

that's as important to me as Reese write such a wonderful

touching piece, that was amazing.

It made me cry when I read it, so thank you Reese,

I love you.

It was amazing working with Reese.

I'd been-

I'd met her before and I'd been a fan of hers,

and she's so quick and so funny and so involved,

you know, in front of the camera, behind the camera.

It was really a huge inspiration to see a woman like her be

so involved in the business side and the producing side too.

So I was really inspired by that.

And on a personal note,

just Reese has become one of my dearest friends

and someone I can really rely on and and turn to.

She's just a very important person in my life

and I'm very thankful to to know her.

How would you describe Zoe Kravitz's style?

I wanna get some new stuff for fall

and I really like the way Zoe dresses.

How would you describe it?

What store should I try?

I mean, I really try and dress comfortably.

It's really important that you feel comfortable in what

you're wearing because I think that you can feel and see

when someone isn't comfortable in their clothes.

And then no matter how cool looking it is,

it kind of strips all that away.

I also live in New York,

so I walk around a lot,

and I just think comfort is really important.

I like oversized clothes a lot.

I wear a lot of black and I'm really into basics.

I really like jeans, and white t-shirts,

and like big chunky sweaters,

but I also just like to get up and go.

I don't like to think about it too much

when I wake up in the morning.

So basics are good.

Instagram, hello old friend.

Just watched, this was empowering as hell

for anxious introverts facing their fears.

Beautifully done.

Thank you.

I really love this film.

You handled the agoraphobia so well and I loved how subtle

everything was portrayed and shot.

Well done.

Thank you.

Well, Steven Soderberg, the director,

is obviously a master,

so you know, that's part of the reason the movie is so good.

I know a lot of people suffer from social anxiety

in general, but then after the pandemic,

I think that was heightened for a lot of people.

I connected to the character Angela a lot.

I suffer from anxiety as well, so you know,

panic attacks are something I'm quite familiar with,

so I was, you know,

able to kind of draw from my own experience

to play the character.

This is a picture from our first day on Pussy Island.

What directors inspire you the most?

Obviously I can't think of any right now because that's what

happens when you're asked a question like that, you know?

I love Tarantino.

I love Adrian Lyne.

I love Fellini.

I love so many directors.

I just can't think of any of them right now,

but I am a huge cinephile.

Yeah, well I wasn't allowed to,

I didn't have television when I was a kid.

My mom didn't allow me to watch TV,

but I was allowed to watch one movie a weekend,

and so I would kind of get obsessed with films.

I love the Cohen Brothers.

I love like dark films, dark comedies.

My favorite.

Picture from the Batman premiere.

You must redo Breakfast at Tiffany's.

That would be a really hard thing to redo.

I just think that when something is done so iconically and

perfectly, it's like, why touch it?

But thank you.

That'd be fun in theory.

I don't think I have the balls to do that.

Ooh, YouTube.

Okay, I know what that is.

Bro.

[deep voice] Bro, why do I wanna do this voice?

Bro, she is so funny.

No, that's mean, sorry.

Bro, she is so funny.

She could be a cast member.

Aw, thanks.

I would love to see her do more comedy.

I would love to do more comedy.

I had so much fun in hosting SNL.

It was a dream of mine.

Obviously comedy is something I have not done a lot of

and I think I could be pretty funny.

I would love that.

So anybody who has any great comedy scripts or sketch ideas,

you just hit me and I'll come do that.

This song just popped up in my head.

Never watched the video though.

This is some great wordplay

and I don't even listen to Jay like that.

Oh, ain't that Zoe Kravitz?

Yes, this is me in a Jay-Z video called I Know.

I don't even know when this was shot.

How many years ago?

2011.

Olden days, y'all.

Olden days.

Yeah.

I knew the director of this video

and they asked me to do it.

Why would I say no?

It's like me walking around New York City and stuff.

I haven't seen it in a long time either.

I don't really remember the premise.

Yeah, I mean it was an honor and the privilege

to be in a Jay-Z video, obviously.

Okay, that's it.

I'm signing off the internet.

Bye.
