Kristen Wiig Talks Walter Mitty And Playing a Superhero

Kristen Wiig's latest movie role sees her starring a Cheryl Melhoff in adventure-comedy The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. God, you're not worthy. Hey, my man, you still there? I just like zoned out for a second. Oh okay. Do you do that a lot? Do you fancy yourself as a bit of a Walter Mitty yourself? Um, yeah, in the fact that I daydream probably more than I should, yes. Absolutely. I think we all are. I think that's why people like the character. And what do you daydream about when you do daydream? Is it always different? It's always different. It kind of just depends where I am, and what I'm doing, but yeah, I think, I think we all have that fantasy life, and we have that place we go to in our minds. Kristen stars as Ben Stiller's love interest in the flick. He escapes his boring office life and disappears into a world of adventure beyond his wildest dreams. Cheryl. Melhoff. Where have you been? Testing the limits of the human spirit. I'd like to climb your hair, test that out. Can you picture yourself perhaps playing a superwoman at some point? Because when you were dreaming, you were being all super and fab and you know, like superwoman like. That would be, yeah, if you know anything that's happening. I'll give you a text. Okay. Yeah, because you know Catwoman would be good. Wonderwoman. We should maybe put that forward. Yeah. Right now. What's the matter? I lost a picture of his. I like mysteries. You should go, crack the case. And how has it been coping with dipping in and out of family life and directing and producing and acting, how was it to work with him? I was in awe of him the whole time. I mean, he wore so many hats in this project. Producer. Directing a very ambitious film, even if he wasn't in the movie, it's a lot. And I think he was in every scene, and it was just... He never showed frustration or fatigue. He was just always, always there. So he's a great one to work with then. And in the film, you play the guitar and you sing. The guitar you hear is not me playing, but I did learn the song so I knew what to do with my fingers, so it looked real. Although I think when we shot, I kind of was like I'm not really doing the right thing. But yeah, it was really exciting to record the song, and yeah that was a dream come true for me. Fancy yourself a number one single then? I... Sure, that would be great. The Secret Life of Water Mitty hits cinemas on the 26th of December.
