Zazie Beets made a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden to discuss her latest movie project, a Western film called “which is on netflix right now zazi.” Congratulated on her role in the movie, Zazie went on to describe it as a revenge story with a young man avenging his father, while she plays the role of his lover who joins him on his journey. She praised the film for being brilliantly made, combining the traditional elements of a Western with an untraditional twist.
When asked about her experience working on a Western, Zazie revealed that she had some prior experience riding horses. Growing up, her family used to visit a farm where she would ride horses and other traditional livestock. Although she wasn’t trained in a traditional sense, she explained that riding horses is more about rhythm and getting in sync with the horse’s movements. However, James Corden humorously asked if she was one of those actors who lied about their horse riding skills, to which Zazie confidently replied that she actually can ride a horse.
James then shared his own horse riding experience, recounting an incident on a movie set where the horse he was riding didn’t have brakes. Zazie sympathized with his concern and admitted that she also feels apprehensive about riding horses, saying, “I’m surprised that we’re constantly all cool with riding a horse. I am too, but we’re all just everyone’s like yeah it’s a horseā¦I mean, are we really checking with the horse they’re cool with this? I don’t think they are.”
Towards the end of the segment, the show’s band leader Reggie Watts posed a unique hypothetical question to Zazie and the other guests. He asked what their strategy would be if they became cardinals and found themselves on a branch that may break at any moment, with two approaching owls and a small wild cat prowling beneath the tree. Zazie’s response was to “fly west,” which according to Reggie, was the correct answer based on the multiverse.
Overall, Zazie Beets’s appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden was filled with lighthearted banter and insightful anecdotes about her Western movie experience. Fans of the chat show and Zazie Beets can catch the full episode to enjoy the lively conversation and learn more about her latest project.
