But I've noticedthat you were one of the few celebrities to join Instagramvery recently.

Pretty late to the game, actually.

So what or who convincedyou to do that? -It was peer pressure, you guys.

[ Laughter ] I would sit at work, my co-stars, Mae and Retta, they would be like, “Oh, did yousee this on Instagram, did you see –“I was, like, “What? What — like, what are you guystalking about? [ Laughter ]Show me, show me.

” And I finally was, like, “Alright, I'm getting on it.

-Ah, peer pressure.

You got to love it.

-I guess.

-You gotta love it.

[ Laughter ] -Okay.

-But, you know, I'm wearing sunglasses, too.

I kind of protectedmyself a little bit.

I'm hiding a little bit.

-Your sunglasses are completesee through, okay.

Also, I want to show you, 'cause I — when the first, one of the first picturesI posted on the 'Gram, I did take, like, 50 pictures.

'Cause you got to get the rightangle.

So, not only were people shookby joining instagram, but you recently also spokeabout a hand modeling gig.

that you did.

What was that gig?-So, I was a model.

And every once in a whileyou get a job that was just your handor just your mouth or something like that.

-That's a thing? -Yeah, I mean, you go in there and they lookat everyone's hands, and they're like, “You, you.

” So, I got — I got — I got ajob with one other model.

And we — I don't evenknow if we knew exactly what it was for, but it was for a poster.

-Now let me just pause you.

A poster.

Do you know which posteryou hand modeled for? Let's show everyone the posterthat we're talking about here.

Yes! That poster[ Audience ohs ] [ Cheers and applause ]Yes.

-I know.

We had no idea how iconic the movie was goingto be at the time.

It was just another model and I, and sometimes it would be herstomach and my hand, or my stomach and her hand, or both my hand and my stomach.

And we kind of just switchedthem up and when then when I finally saw the posterI was like, “Oh, yeah.

That's my hand, but not my stomach.

” [ Laughter ] Which, I don't know howto feel about that.

[ Laughter ] -So —But, it's an extraordinary film and I had no idea I was being, you know, included into somethingsort of so cool.

-That's amazing.

-Yes.

-And epic.

And also, I love that Hollywoodhas so much money that they needed two modelsto do this.

Like, the same personcould have done this.

-Listen, you can't have both.

You can't — [ Laughter ]-You can't have the hand and the stomach.

-So, tell me, how does one aspire to become a hand model? What are some tipsfor hand modeling? -Uh, you never wantto curl them up so it looks likethey're cut off.
