-And, now, I'm assuming they're not gonna see this film,

but have they seen you on film?

And how do they react when they see you?

-My daughters, in general, loathe to see me on-screen.

-Uh-huh. -In general, you know?

I know, when I was doing "Mary Poppins,"

I'd even FaceTime my daughter, and she'd be like,

"Take that silly old Mary Poppins wig off."

She was like, "I like your blond hair."

-That's lovely.

-But, actually, we were having a Super Bowl Party,

and the trailer for "Quiet Place" came on,

which is terrifying.

-Yeah.

-And Hazel sort of wandered in with a hot dog in hand.

And she goes like this -- She goes, "Whoa."

That's you, Mommy."

And I was like, "Yeah."

And then there was a bit where I scream.

I don't know if anyone's seen the trailer,

but I'm literally like [screams] at the end of the trailer.

And she -- You could see her brain exploding.

But, instead, she went, "Ha...cool."

And then, like, walked out and never talked about it again.

-Well, that's the key to parenting is --

when a traumatic thing happens,

just let them deal on it on their own.

-Listen, that's how I was raised.

That's like the British way. -That's the British way.

They know something painful's happened to you.

Give it 10 years.

-Sweep it under the carpet. Yeah.

-Are you -- You must be excited for them to see "Mary Poppins."

-Well, they are in love with Julie Andrews' Mary Poppins.

-Okay. And had they been in love --

I mean, I guess they're not old enough to have been

in love with it for a long time, but how long have they seen --

-Well, I never showed it to them

during my shooting of the film,

partly 'cause I just selfishly didn't want to be so distracted

by how brilliant Julie Andrews was in the role,

already feeling that there was this, like, iconic boulder

that I had to, like, move aside to play this part.

-Were you worried that, like, your kids will see this one

and be like, "You're our second-favorite Mary Poppins"?

-Oh, I'm not even on the list.

They're, like, creepy obsessed

with Julie Andrews now, yeah.

-That will be a terrifying moment, then, for you.

That will be scarier than "A Quiet Place,"

having to watch your kids react to it.

-Yeah, I just don't even think they should see "Mary Poppins."

Like, they should never watch it.

-This will be your third film with Meryl Streep.

-I know. It's like, "Get your own movie."

You know what I mean? -Exactly.

Thank you for saying that, 'cause I thought the same thing.

-Stalker.

Yeah, and we always play people who sort of loathe each other

in the films that we do.

-Is there truth to the rumor "The Devil Wears Prada" --

There might be another "Devil Wears Prada"?

-I mean, I would love it. -Yeah.

[ Cheers and applause ]

We all would.

-Did you know Stanley Tucci is my brother-in-law?

-I did know that Stanley Tucci was your Brother-in-Law.

-He, like, wormed his way into the family.

-But he wasn't during the first "Devil Wears --"

-No. So, we met on the first movie.

I'm talking about like there is another movie.

We met on the first "Devil Wears Prada."

And I just loved him so much, so he was at our wedding

and then met my sister.

-That's unbelievable. -I know.

-And they've been married for a while now, right?

-They've been married -- I don't even know how long.

-Too long. -Too long. Yeah.

And when you met John, he was already on "The Office," yes?

-He was, yeah.

-And were you aware of that show when you met him?

-I was sort of aware that he was vaguely recognizable,

but I was a huge --

-That's so romantic. -Yeah. It was like...

"You look blurily familiar."

Yeah. But I was a big fan of the British "Office."

-Uh-huh.

That's what the people on the American "Office" love to hear.

-Yeah, exactly.

And then I sort of binge-watched

the American "Office" and loved it.

-And how did you guys meet?

-It's, like, kind of a sad, lame story.

You know, not sad, but it's just kind of lame.

I mean, I was in a restaurant. He was in the restaurant.

I was sitting with a mutual friend.

This is our romantic comedy. This is it. Write it!

-This is Paul and Meredith.

-And my friend Gray goes, "Oh, my God.

There's my friend John." And that was it.

-Oh, really? -Yeah.

-And he came over to the table?

-Guys, it's golden. It's cinema gold.

-It is really good.

Did he -- I'm sorry to ask for the logistics to this.

Did he then come over and eat his meal with you?

-No. He was actually sitting with our friend Justin Theroux.

-Okay.

-And then he abandoned Justin

and came over to come and talk to us.

He did not eat.

He just stood there and made me laugh. Yeah.

-There you go. And it's worked out.

-He just did a bit.

-And all these years later... And did you know right away?

I'm sorry to dig in here. -I kind of did.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

-That's good. -Am I speaking to "Us Weekly"?

I love you. I'm sorry.

-I just want to make it clear that you guys, as stars,

are just like us.

-I know. I am just like you guys.

Yeah. -But I'm so happy.

-It really is -- I mean, for waiting to see you guys

work together, I never would have predicted this film.

And it just so wonderful that you guys did it.

-It's so disturbing.

-Yeah, it's really disturbing, but it's really great.

-It's so good. I'm thrilled you love it.

It's sort of been overwhelming, actually,

'cause we were really nervous to work together,

and terrified -- John, in general,

was sort of terrified of, like, how people will view this film

or whether they'll accept it.

And people have just been incredible about it.

They just love it. -Well, they're right.

It's really wonderful.

And thank you so much for being here.

It's just a delight to have you. -Hey, anytime.
