You have seen her in some of the most popular and definitely some of the funniest films of this generation. Nathalie Fay has had small but very memorable parts in The Hangover, Old School and Due Date. She is now starring in the new film The Layover, which released recently in LA and Seattle as well as France.
You have been in two of the biggest films of this generation, how does that feel? It feels really awesome and real lasting piece of time that I am glad to be a part of them.
After the Hangover how many guys tried to pick you up with quotes from the movie? I feel like I get it more now than I did when the movie came out.
Was it difficult to keep a straight face during your scene? It took all night with those guys and we didn’t stop until 9 AM. There was so much improv and everyone was having so much fun that it made it difficult not to laugh.
Your new movie The Layover is about you as a flight attendant that gets stuck in LA. Is this is a Rom-Com or a raunchy comedy like the Hangover? It’s more of a drama, and what happens in a 12 hour layover in LA. She calls a friend and ends up at a house party and a club. She’s marrying this guy because he’s a banker and not sure what to do. She meets a biker and falls for him that night. I am really excited about this film and it’s the director’s first feature film.
When will the Layover be released? Will it be released here in the states? Its completely in French, very visual movie, not long monologues…more straight to the point. It is going to release in limited areas in the States for now.
What’s one role that you got passed over for, that you really wanted? Bridesmaids…looked like a weirdo with a short wig and a silk shirt, looked like such a disturbed person.
If you could star in any remake of any movie, what would it be? Reality bites would be awesome…and of course Casablanca.
What is one pick up line that you have been asked that was either really good or bad…and did it work? You’re assuming I get picked up a lot which is sweet…. The only one I can think of is ” I got lost in your eyes” I just rolled my eyes at the guy and walked away.
Final Question…Bang, Marry Kill…Robert Downey Jr, Bradley Cooper, Luke Wilson. Go!: Bang – Bradley Cooper, Marry- Robert Downey Jr, Kill- Luke Wilson (This took at least five minutes for her to decide)
