“Everyone wants to talk about the clothes,” Full of life responds whereas Posey, relatively than Flaa. “I wonder if they would ask the men about the clothes.”
“I would,” Flaa responds, however each Full of life and Posey appear to disregard her.
The actors then proceed to have a one-minute dialog — a major a part of the four-minute video — discussing numerous points of their male co-stars’ costumes in excruciating element. The whole time, Full of life barely appears at Flaa, as she sits there like a toddler who simply bought sidelined from a lunchroom dialog.
Later, Full of life makes some mild eye contact with Flaa after the reporter asks her about “the biggest misconceptions about fame and Hollywood in general.”
“The idea that people think they know you because of how intrusive media is these days,” Full of life replies to a member of the media, who minutes earlier made reference to her being pregnant. “People care so much more about your personal life than they do your work. And if you aren’t open with your personal life, then they just make it up for you and share it for you.”

However Full of life appeared just a little miffed when host Seth Meyers broached the subject by congratulating her on having “a baby on the way.”
“What makes you say that?” Full of life stated on Meyers’ present. “You know you don’t ever say that to a woman.”
Earlier than her “Late Night” look, a number of shops had reported that Full of life was pregnant however cited unnamed sources relatively than Full of life herself.
