Because it made me laugh, but I'm assuming

someone else probably got confused.

This is on your Instagram.

-I did a film called "Love, Rosie" years ago.

And I'm heavily pregnant in it.

So I thought April Fool's, it is a great photo to use.

-And she says "Big news." -"Big news."

So, I didn't think anyone was going to buy it.

But my little brother, Matthew, called me,

and was like, "Are you pregnant?"

And I said, "Well, no.

Wouldn't I have told you not on social media?"

He's like, "That's so dumb. I hate you." And he hung up.

I was like, "I love you, too."

-Let's talk about "Les Misérables."

You're playing Fantine. -Yes.

-I mean, big role. -It was very exciting.

I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd get to play her.

-This is exciting. -Yeah.

-But it's not a musical? -It's not a musical, no.

It actually goes back to Victor Hugo's novel

and, obviously, the written word.

And that wasn't musical. So it goes back to the original,

and it is a six-parter.

And it's just really interesting for me because as Fantine,

sometimes most of her story line gets told through song lyrics.

She explains in a song that she fell in love

and had a child and was left by a guy.

Whereas we get to show it in an episode.

-Oh, interesting.

-Yeah, you get to see the ghosting of that period happen.

-The transformation is unbelievable.

-Thank you. -Obviously, I mean --

I almost can't even look at this.

'Cause I just know you, and then this is you as Fantine.

[ Audience murmurs ]

And, wow! You really went for it.

-The hair and makeup department were absolute geniuses.

I sent this picture to my mom because I was so excited

about the transformation not even thinking how awful that is.

-I bet she was like, "Don't ever send me this ever again."

-I was like, "Rough day at work,"

and she was like, "You never send your mother

that kind of a picture."

-Now your brother and your mom unfollow you on Instagram.

-Yeah, now they don't follow me on Instagram.

They never know what I'm gonna show.

But it was amazing.

I had a bald cap underneath my wig

so they could chop into the wig

and then look like they were chopping

into, like, my skull basically.

And then we put -- I had two of my front teeth

knocked out in the show, so I had green-screened teeth.

She sells her teeth and hair to pay for her daughter who's sick.

-How do they get -- This is good.

Did they just put, like, black out?

-This is so awful.

-Did they put, like, some glue on your teeth?

Is that what it is? -It's absolutely awful.

-Yes, that is not in character. That is after work one day.

I was really happy to get the wig off, obviously.

But, yeah, they put green screen teeth and then they

black them out so they can easily blur them in post.

-Wow! -Yeah, it was really fun.

-Is it hard to act like that?

-No, it's easier, I think.

Well, for me, it's easier, because I don't recognize myself

and I can get into character.

But then some of the other actors

are staring at, like, spinach teeth when they're acting.

So, Dominic West and I are filming my death scene.

Not a spoil-- I mean, everyone knows Fantine dies.

Everyone knows.

You can see her resurrect on Broadway or West End

tomorrow night if you wanted to. -It's a pretty old book, yeah.

We're good, yeah. No spoilers on this one, yeah.

-We were doing my death scene, which was day two of filming.

Like, I worked my way backwards. They had me die day two.

-Why? -Because we were shooting in

winter and they wanted it to be cold and dreary and depressing,

which is was.

-So, your second day of work, you die?

-I died, yeah.

It was like, "Nice to meet you," and then my death bed.

But Dominic is standing behind the camera looking at me

and he just can't stop laughing 'cause I have these green teeth.

He's not making it easy for me.

-You shot this in Brussels?

-Shot it in Brussels last year.

-Wow! Did you get to explore?

-I did a lot of backpacking around Europe.

I did some, like, train rides to cool places.

But then I also weirdly did a bunch of escape rooms.

I don't know why I went to Brussels and did escape rooms.

-Well, is it different than American escape rooms?

-Kinda, yeah. Different themes, I guess.

And some of them -- I mean, they were all in English.

I wouldn't have ever escaped otherwise.

But it was fun. -I love escape rooms.

-They're great. -I only did it once.

But Questlove apparently has done it like 30 times.

-Aren't they awesome? -They're awesome.

-But he's never invited me once.

-Oh, you know, I invite -- That's funny,

because I invited -- Well, David Oyelowo is in this,

and he's amazing.

We all, Dominic and I kept inviting him out

to hang out with us, and every time, he said no.

And I just took it as personal, I guess.

I know know, he didn't like me or something.

Dominic and I just found out two days ago that he's

a method actor and he just didn't want to hang out with us

because he was in character. -No!

-Because on the press tour, he's been so much fun.

And Dominic and I were like,

"You are so much fun to hang out with."

He's like, "Well, I'm not in character now."

And it took us months to realize it wasn't personal.

-You were like, "Dude, you are a jackass."

He's like, "No, I was playing a jackass."

-I mean, he throws me around in the show, but in real life,

he's lovely and funny. -Of course. He's really funny.

We love him. Oh, my God. That's hilarious to find out.

-I know. It was a trip. -Well, congrats on this.
