“She just becomes it, like a child actor. The circumstance around you is real. Be in it. That’s what everybody wishes they could do,” Emma explained.
Later in the piece, she mentions a theater adage, how if an actor is across from a cat on-stage, most of the audience will watch the cat.
“The audience would watch the cat,” she explained, “because it’s going to respond genuinely in the moment, while the actors are still acting. It’s that quality. Jen’s the cat.”
Emma and Jennifer have been friends since their early 20s when they were both rising stars in Hollywood. They actually met through their mutual friend and co-star Woody Harrelson, who starred opposite of Emma in Zombieland and Jennifer in The Hunger Games. He gave Emma the other actress’ number and a friendship blossomed.
