-Congratulations on season two. -Thank you.
-This is based on an actual show in the '80s.
-Yeah.
-"Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling." -Yeah.
-And what was it like when you first were telling people
that you were doing -- you were going to play a wrestler?
-Yes. So, my mom was one of the first people I called
to be like, "Mom, I got the job on 'Glow'!
Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling!"
And my mom was like, "Oh, honey. That's so exciting.
"I'm so happy for you. And, so, tell me more about it.
It's -- it's a wrestling reality show?"
[ Laughter ]
She thought that I was giving up acting...
[ Laughter ]
...to be a professional wrestler.
And the kicker is, she was incredibly supportive.
-That really -- -She was so happy for me.
-That is the take-away here, is that your mom might not be
totally dialed in about how show business works.
-Yes.
-But, so much better, she's a great mom.
-Loves me no matter what. -Yeah, that's really --
-Yeah, it's good. -That's great to know.
So -- but the -- the interesting thing is
you, of course, you actually did have to do
some degree of wrestling training.
-Oh, absolutely.
-And -- your husband, Dave Franco, was here.
And he was saying that you were in the best shape of your life.
-Still am. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ] He was also saying
that at the same time you were getting in "Glow" shape,
he was playing a heroin addict in a movie.
-Yes. He is in a film called "Six Balloons"
that's on Netflix now, in which he plays a heroin addict.
And, so, for the first season of "Glow," it was the first time
I was really leaning into strength training.
And I was, like, eating a lot of protein.
I was just, like, always eating and really trying to,
you know, be strong and buff.
And he was wasting away. He was literally starving.
He lost 25 pounds to do the part.
-Ugh.
-And he was in, like, pretty good shape already.
And he was just a bummer to be around.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-It was like -- he was depressed.
He was watching heroin movies...
-Yeah. -...about heroin.
And it just got to a point where --
You know, on the weekends, he'd be like, "Should we --
you want to go get some coffee?"
And I would just be like, "No."
[ Laughter ]
-Now, you guys -- you've been together for a while now.
-Yes. Six and a half years, about.
-But when you first -- your first year together,
you threw him a surprise party. -Yeah.
-Very early on. -Very -- too early on.
-Too early on for a surprise party.
-We had known each other for three or four months,
and then, it was his birthday.
And I wanted to do something special for him.
I think I was just so smitten immediately.
And, you know.
But we still didn't know a ton about each other.
So I did not know that he hates surprises.
-Uh-huh. [ Laughter ]
-Or attention of any kind. -Okay, interesting.
-And I also didn't really know that many of his friends yet.
So I just asked, like, the two friends I knew,
"Who should I invite to this party?"
And mentally, I think I was planning at, like, in my mind,
like, a 20-person dinner party. -Right.
-It turned into sort of a 200-person rager,
'80s-themed... -Oh.
-...rager at my house. Costume party.
-So it really got away from you. -I leaned into it.
-Yeah. -I was too nice.
People were like, "How many people do you want?"
I was like, "Whoever you think his greatest friends are."
There were people he hadn't seen in five years.
His -- his manager's assistant's cousin brought five friends.
-Oh, no. -Like, the pro football player
across the street came over with his crew of guys.
It was out of my hands.
The next morning, Davey was totally freaked out.
-So, when he walked in, was it just --
Did you know from his reaction immediately
that you had miscalculated?
-Yeah. He, sort of -- [ Laughter ]
I'm sure we have a video of it. And it was something like,
"Oh, God." [ Laughter ]
And curled into a small ball.
And I was like, "No, it's fun!" You know.
Gave him a little pot cookie and was like,
"Have a great night." That only made it worse.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
"Here, take some paranoia!" [ Laughter ]
-Make your mind weird! That's going to help this.
The next morning -- like, this is just a sign
of how out of control it got, that the next morning, his mom,
who was in town, and I had invited her to the party,
even though we hadn't -- I didn't really know her yet.
The next morning, she was at a coffee shop nearby,
and a waitress -- some stranger came up to her
and was like, "You're Dave Franco's mom.
"God, I almost came to Dave's birthday party last night.
But I had to work an extra shift."
We were like, "Who? What?"
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-It was so crazy. -It was, like --
Yeah, it was just like like a town fair.
-It really was. -Yeah.
