In this “A List” discussion, Stephanie Hsu sits down with Franklin Leonard to talk about her favorite dual role performances of all time, relative to her iconic dual role as Jobu Tupaki in the Oscar-winning film, “Everything Everywhere All At Once.” From Mike Myers in the “Austin Powers” franchise to Donald Glover as Teddy Perkins in “Atlanta,” the actress breaks down what those characters meant to her and her interpretations of their work. Stephanie also opens up about her childhood, journey to becoming an “experimental theater geek,” and what she hopes to see for her future in Hollywood.

Joy Ride is now in theaters.

Vanity Fair has 4 million subscribers, yet this video only has 720 views after two hours. Strange.

Great interview though, not a criticism of the interview.
