Switching gears, Norton asked Johnson about her superstitions and rituals. She admitted to having a few eccentric habits, such as holding her breath during takeoff in an airplane and saying hello to magpies for good luck. The audience found her quirks endearing and laughed along with her.
The conversation then shifted to a discussion about gender pronouns. Johnson shared that she initially had trouble understanding the concept but was convinced by a trans actress she had met.
