- In this Screen Tests interview, Greta Gerwig talks about her first kiss (in a hot tub) to her on-screen crush (Melanie Griffith in 'Working Girl') to the scene in 'Moonlight' that always makes her cry.
Greta Gerwig has been on quite a run since starring in Greenberg, her major breakthrough as an actress, in 2010. Since then, she's worked with a who's who of independent filmmakers: in addition to Noah Baumbach, there is Woody Allen, Whit Stillman, Rebecca Miller, and Todd Solondz. She starred in Pablo Larraín's Jackie and Mike Mills's 20th Century Women, both in the recent Oscars running. She also just directed her own film, Lady Bird, which will likely be coming to a festival near you shortly. Here, Gerwig recalls making 20th Century Women, and the indispensable advice that Rebecca Miller gave her about directing her first film-which Miller got from the late, great Mike Nichols.
On her first kiss:
"It was in a hot tub. And then we rode our bikes home. [Laughs.] Yeah, we had been building to it for a solid six months. I was 16, and just so in love with him. We were in my friend's hot tub in his backyard. I think we were quoting The Little Prince to each other and then we started making out. It was a great first kiss."
On her cinematic crush:
"Right now I have to say Melanie Griffith in Working Girl. I mean, the first time she meets Harrison Ford at the bar when she's all done up... And she's got a head for business and a bod for sin. But there's a moment when she cuts her hair off and she says, "I want to be a serious businesswoman. You need to have serious hair." She's so great and so sexy without being plastic, which I think a lot of people miss now. She seems like a real sexy person."
On the great love scene with Harrison Ford:
"Oh my god, I know. Young Harrison Ford, what a dreamboat. But it's her. She's so compelling and funny in it."
On her irrational fear:
"I'm scared of the internet. That's not real, but it is. I'm worried about what it's doing to us. I sound like an old man when I talk about the internet, but I am actually worried about what it's doing to our brains and our sense of connection. You know, yawn, but... I mean, I'm always looking for ways to cut it out of my life. But it's amazing, too. It also brings people together and creates all these good things, so I don't know. I'm probably not seeing it for all its good things. I just worry that it's actually making people more lonely than it is bringing them joy."

Greta Gerwig on Her First Kiss, Her Crush, and Crying During Moonlight | Screen Tests | W Magazine
“I don’t know what boys were interested in at that age, but it’s not what I was selling.” Sums up my adolescence perfectly.
Same but with girls
@@afonsolucas2219 same but with also boys
Nobody:
Greta's hair: ⬅️➡️↘️↗️↖️↪️⤵️
She makes it look kinda cute
It’s beautiful imo!
lol!!
i love the way she speaks
Sara Zandy I don't.
thanks 4 ur opinion
she sounds like the ''one time at band camp'' girl.
Sara Zandy I like it too, it reminds me of a slower version of Karen Prell who is the voice of Red in Fragile rock.
I love her so much
Danny, with whom Lady Bird had a first kiss was gay, now it makes sense.
just like you, mate
OHHHHH OH MY GOD thank you for connecting those dots for me😂
“He turned out he doesn’t like girls… but he liked me” makes so much sense actually.
Greta's probably the only one who could look cool with a hairstyle like that.
Her hair was doing all kinds of things throughout this
Dude, I love Greta Gerwig. So many celebrities are very superficial, but she's just real.
Love her! shes so natural and genuine, just like Frances Ha. also moonlight was so good!
I love her so much, and man her hair looks awesome in this video.
the last bit when she says she thinks the internet might be making us lonelier is so true. anyway i love this woman :)
1:11 so lady bird IS about her !!!
yeah !
She also attended an all girls catholic school in Sacramento
There is a pic on set with the real people who inspired Ladybird characters.
Omgggg yess!
and frances ha is the sequel to lady bird
She's so casual and genuine...and her hair is beautiful wow big crush
I could not stop staring at her hair lmao but she did go into some deep thoughts by the end, totally agree.
i think... i am in love with greta...,... or i just wan't to be her... i haven't decided
Or maybe both
Same😭🖤
It’s both for me 😭😭😭
She's so right about the internet. I say, on the internet, at home, by myself.
I would love to get pizza with her and talk about films and just be awkward together because she’s so talented and amazing
Greta is a national treasure:-) Can't wait foir her directorial debut to be released in theaters!
Roberto Richardson did u see it ?
"A head for business and a body for sin" made me die laughing.
now i really need a girlfriend and she has to be greta gerwig herself
i love and admire her so much i cry. like genuinely she’s my favorite person out there
The part in Moonlight that gave me the feels was when he gets beat up by his best friend and crush. Shit was brutal ;(
Me too
I cried during 75% of that film.
I like her, she seems so awkward to hang out.
I love her. And even more with this emotional drunk look.
Gosh, I love her. She deserves all the acclaim
I f***ing love Greta Gerwig! She's brilliant in everything she does while remaining so humble.
I cried as she cried recalling that scene in Moonlight.
protect greta gerwig at all costs
If you've seen Lady Bird this is even better
Interesting she’s talking about her crushes but SHES MY CRUSH
Greta is the coolest, I've loved her acting for so long, I'm so glad she gets to have a voice as a director now. I feel like no one knows who she is! Other than the people in these comments, of course.
Her hair is everything
at 0:24 when she said "you realize" its so "Frances"
Her first kiss was so much better than mine.
I had my first real kiss at a party
Like one of those really bad house parties, where everybody got way to drunk, and we were only 14
so lady bird’s first relationship was inspired by greta’s first relationship !!!
bless her heart she is so pure and sweet
Gosh, I'm so in love with her!!
I get her first
Emperor Alpatino's Basement No way! 😉
Sally Seton you can take Sersh
Emperor Alpatino's Basement Sersh is not a big fan of dating, I guess. I'll let you have Greta if I can be with KStew, though! Deal? 😂
OK, but I still get the prettier one
I relate to what she said at the end so bad
im in love with her hair
her thoughts at the end about the internet is so true
I get teary-eyed whenever I see ladybird console her ex-boyfriend. That piano... 😭
she's so sooo stunning.
I just can’t stop loving her !!!
I love her hair
I just love her hair.
She reminds me of Kristen Stewart. The way she talks, her body language and posture, her hair, etc.
she is like a female version of adam driver sort of they give off the same vibe
so you can understand noah (((:
oh my god i love greta gerwig - who else can part their hair both ways and it work
The thumbnail alone made this big grin plaster on my face!
I cry so much sometimes I feel like I'm gon' just turn into drops
God i love the hair
i watched this video sooo many times
Her hair is amazing
I LOVE her voice. Also her hair, loved it. I may have a slight girl crush on Greta Girwig lmao.
i realy love her hair style
shes so beautiful inside and out
i wish i could have hair like that. so cool
I thought Greta was still in love with Leo
SeinItUp same haha! I'd pay to see her directing him (as in, her directing a film he's in) lol
best three and a half minutes ever spent
Her hair❤️
Ok, I officially have a crush on Greta Gerwig now
love her she is my kind of woman
When a female director gets interviewed they ask her personal questions that don't have anything to do with cinema, if it was a man sitting there they wouldn't make the same questions, it just goes to show you how women don't get the same respect as men in this society.
You’re wrong, at least with this interviewer. Watch a few more of these screen tests with other people. They effectively ask the same questions.
I have so much love for this lovely hueman
Greta Gerwig is my cinematic crush
Can she be Captain Marvel? Love her androgynous look but very pretty.
I’m happy with Brie Larson as Captain Marvel, but I just want Saoirse as Batgirl. Or make the fantastic 4 with Saoirse and Timothée as the Storm siblings.
Greta needs to direct Black Widow. Though she'd make an amazing Superwoman
Honestly, she's WAY too talented for any comic book movie, in my opinion.
Protect her at all costs
the way i love her-
gosh she's so cute
I love her so much 😍😍😍
I'd love to hear the interviewers questions I find this slightly confusing!
she is bi?! wig
I love Greta i loved her in Frances Ha and I loved Lady Bird i cant wait for Little Women
such a beautiful old soul
I love her! ❤
I want her hair.
It is just me or I just have an obsession with her hairstyle?!
SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE SHE HER SHE WOW
The hair 😂
The hair.... I want it
Aghhhh! That made it into _Lady Bird_ !
GAAAH! WHAT A BABE!! WHAT...A...BABE
She’s hot And she makes killer movies what did I do in a past life God?!
She looks like she just woke up.
i could watch greta talk about women all day
I have the biggest crush on this woman.....*sigh*
