It's because Hong's not an over-sharer.

Whereas, like, a lot of us just can't stop talking.

What are you trying to say? Can't.

You can't shut up, Margaret.

[all laughing]

[jazzy upbeat music]

Hi, Vanity Fair, I'm Hong Chau.

I'm Mamoudou Athie.

I'm Margaret Qualley.

I'm Jesse Plemons.

And I'm Emma Stone,

and we are the cast of Kinds of Kindness,

and let's test how well we know each other.

[Jesse] Ugh, let's.

Shall we?

Okay, [laughs] how many times have I hosted SNL?

Ooh, four times.

Six.

Oh, five.

Five.

So it's either five- Five.

I know you're a five time regular.

She's got the jacket.

She's going up and then saying six.

Do you get a jacket or something?

I got a jacket.

You got a jacket?

[bell dings]

Yeah, I got a jacket.

How many tattoos do I have?

One. Two.

Dammit. Wow.

God damn it!

[all laughing]

I'm just, it feels like I know.

Jesse P just crushing answers!

[Jesse] It feels like Price is Right.

This kid knows it.

Okay, all right, here we go.

Which of you do you think I would call

to bail me out of jail?

Jesse.

You think Jesse?

Well, he's got the answers. I don't think so.

He's got all the answers. I think Margaret.

I think I'd call Margaret.

[Margaret laughing]

I'd call Margaret.

Yes, finally!

I think she would figure it out real quick.

She's always got snacks with her.

Finally!

If she's not meditating.

She's really thinking ahead.

She might help you out.

If she's not meditating

for the five hours a day she meditates,

she'd come pick me up in jail.

Okay.

[Margaret] I can come to jail any day you want.

[Emma] I know you will.

[Margaret] Why don't you go to the bad place, get in jail.

I'll get you a bite. [laughing]

If I weren't an actor, what would I do?

Carpentry.

[all laughing]

Oh, what?

Musician?

My dad was a carpenter. Oh.

So that's close.

I think so, yeah.

Okay. Yeah.

What sport did I play as a kid?

Football. Football.

Yeah.

Friday night lights.

Most sports would've, would've been...

Margaret, you missed it again.

Who is the first person I call

when I receive good news?

Your wife. Your wife.

Yeah.

I mean, these are softball.

Okay, that's it.

If I were to treat the cast

to a group vacation, where would I take us?

Oh. Jersey. [laughs]

Yes.

Y'all playin! New Jersey.

Yes. Okay.

Let's do it.

Okay, how many siblings do I have?

Two. Yeah.

I mean, there's three of you, but you have two siblings.

Yeah.

Sorry, I'm ruining this.

You know her very well.

Sorry.

[all laughing]

What's my favorite snack?

Seaweed? That's a more difficult one.

I don't know what my favorite snack is.

Did you say seaweed?

[all laughing]

I would just go, seaweed?

You don't have one that you go back to more?

Seaweed.

You said seaweed.

One time I ate so much, mm.

Come on. What?

I was a little kid and I was,

actually did really like seaweed,

but all I ate was seaweed.

I was like tiny and I was like, Mom, only seaweed.

[all laughing]

But it was the dried kind, and then I threw up black.

Jesus. No!

It was horrible.

You got it so right, it's not even funny.

That's for you, Vanity Fair.

She liked it so much

that she only ate that and then threw up.

Can't eat it no more.

But like, a favorite snack,

that's definitely not what I would think of.

At one point, though.

But maybe at one point.

I concede, I concede.

You could get it back. Oh, Mamoudou.

You could get it back.

I'm in this chair, all right.

What school did I get my MFA from?

Harvard.

Yale.

Hey! Yeah.

Lookee here. Okay.

Who inspired me to become an entertainer?

Your mom.

That's sweet, actually.

Your dad. Your dad.

Incorrect.

Your brother. I could see it, yeah.

I didn't think it was family.

Sis!

Is it something- Seaweed.

Can we ask a couple follow-up questions?

There's something about seaweed.

This is my sister!

[all groaning]

Damn it! We were so close!

So close, so close. So close!

How do I like to spend an ideal day off?

Chilling out. At the spot?

No, no, training!

That's actually true. I see you at the gym.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, true.

Picnic blanket, reading a book.

Actually, I don't see you at the gym.

I see you going to the gym and coming back from the gym.

Hi, friends.

Hi. Hi, Hong.

How old was I when I got my driver's license?

23. Close.

I was a little older, but not that old.

28. 26.

I said not that old. Ah, and you went up?

Oh, not that old.

Oh my god, I was thinking. 19.

Yes!

Yes, yes. 19?

And then I didn't drive.

Why did you wait until you were 19?

I don't like driving.

I had no interest in driving,

as you could probably tell in my one scene

that I drove y'all and nearly killed everyone.

Oh. Oh, right!

I do remember that.

I do remember you did not enjoy that very much.

That was also not top-notch.

That was not an easy one to drive.

Describe my perfect sandwich.

Okay.

I'm from New Orleans, describe my perfect sandwich.

Oh, that's a good hint Oh!

Oh, po boy!

Yes, what kind of po boy?

Shrimp. Yeah.

A shrimp po boy, yeah.

What would I want as my last meal?

Shrimp po boy? A shrimp po boy.

[all laughing]

Sure! What was the point of that?

I think that was the exact same answer.

Two birds, one stone!

Is there something else, though?

Would you do, like, jambalaya, would you do...

Ooh.

I'd do fried calamari, that's close.

Whoa!

You'd do fried calamari, what else?

Wow, this is your last meal.

[buzzer beeping]

Some seaweed? [laughs]

Some seaweed.

[all laughing]

Yeah, yeah.

Jesse won.

Did I?

I don't know, I mean you knew a lot of Margaret's questions.

You knew a lot about Margaret.

Emma won, too, and so did Mamoudou, and so did Hong.

We all win.

We did better than we thought, but we kinda were just

throwing out a bunch of answers really quickly.

We were just guessing a lot of stuff.

Thanks, Vanity Fair!

Goodbye!
