00:00Now it's the sit-down with Frida Pinto.
00:02Hi, Frida.
00:03We are currently watching season two
00:05of Surface and loving it.
00:06Had you seen season one
00:08when you got the call for this current season?
00:10The new additions to the cast are amazing.
00:12Yes, I had watched it almost a whole year
00:15before the second season was being put together.
00:17I love Ollie and Gugu as performers
00:22and I thought they both did such a stellar job
00:24in the first season.
00:26Literally kept you guessing right to the very end.
00:29What is actually happening between these two?
00:31What is happening?
00:32Who's lying?
00:33Who's lying?
00:34Tell me who's lying.
00:35And I think the slow burn really gets me going.
00:38I love anything that takes its time to really sink in.
00:42And so when I got a call for season two,
00:45I got really excited because I was like,
00:47it's exactly the kind of psychological thriller
00:50that I would love to be part of.
00:53And it was just kind of all manifesting itself over there.
00:56Then of course, knowing that season two
00:58would bring back Ollie who had worked with the four
01:01and Gugu who had met in many social settings
01:04and thought was the warmest person ever
01:07also got me super excited.
01:08Then add to that, they bring in Jolie and Rupert
01:12and Millie comes back obviously from season one
01:14and Gavin and Phil.
01:16Oh, sweet Phil.
01:17So I think it just made me so excited
01:20to be part of something that was going to be so explosive
01:22in season two.
01:24We love Phil from Ted Lasso.
01:26He plays a bit of a different character in this though.
01:29He's, you know, very talented.
01:30We all know that, but he's got this real knack
01:32of getting into the skin of the character so beautifully.
01:36We do our scenes and then as soon as the scenes were done,
01:38like he's back to being Phil, you know,
01:40which is so sweet and goofy and funny.
01:42And then you see him in Ted Lasso
01:43and he plays this really odd, but lovable character.
01:48And then you see him in this show
01:50and he is just so secretive and complicated
01:53and lovable, but not so lovable.
01:57So I kind of feel like he's really got a knack
01:59of getting into, you know, the skin of these characters
02:01and people who are fans of Ted Lasso
02:02will still love him in this one.
02:04And we know that you filmed this season in London.
02:06Did your adorable son Rumi Ray ever visit mom on set?
02:10Yes, he did.
02:11He did.
02:12He still, till date, asks me,
02:14why were you so mad at Uncle Phil?
02:17I won't tell you why, but I was like, I was just acting, babe.
02:21Your husband, Corey, is an amazing photographer.
02:24Your home must be filled with beautiful artwork.
02:27I have a three-year-old.
02:29The artistic may exist, but it's the home of a three-year-old.
02:33My three-year-old also does beautiful things.
02:35It's beautiful, his version of beautiful art,
02:38you know, which every mother thinks
02:39that their child's art is, oh my God, so precious.
02:41And then we collect all of it.
02:42And 10 years later, I'll be looking at it going,
02:45what is that squiggly line that I saved?
02:48Okay, final question.
02:49In 10 seconds, tell everyone why they should watch
02:51season two of Surface on Apple TV+.
02:54For everybody, you should definitely be watching
02:56season two of Surface.
02:58It's so explosive, so much bigger, so unexpected,
03:01and it's got a ton of new cast.
03:03So get ready for it.
03:05Frida, thank you so much for joining us.
03:08Oh, thank you so much.
