Maddi: surprisingly I did. Been jetting off here, there and everywhere so coming home for a bit made sense. I need a normal sleep schedule. You’ve never had any trouble finishing prematurely.

Alright what's your favorite thing to eat on Thanksgiving? I don't even know what I have to cook this year but I do know that I can't wait to taste my mom's cooking. My specialty however is coconut pie and mashed potatoes, my family says I make the best and that makes me smile. What are you plans? @hillsfmsstarters

as a non-american, how cancelled would i be if i said a lot of the food options aren't that appetising to me? green bean casserole? absolutely not and don't even get me started on sweet potato casserole. i had a serving last year and thought all of my teeth would fall off. maybe this is why i'm not invited to eat anywhere for thanksgiving, hah. are you heading home for the day or are they coming to you for it? i reckon i'll just be getting a little tipsy with mates and watching the parade.

I'm still standing by the fact that Australian meat pies are the best. But I am willing to admit that your UK pies can come a close second. A non-spooky person? As in you're not a fan of Halloween or you don't believe in ghost? Because I am willing to change your mind on both of those things. My Halloween costume, although not on theme of mythical creatures is very appropriate for our setting. It feels like there's no a lot of places to get some time alone around here so - whisk me away, Josh.

second place isn't too bad, i suppose. plus, australian meat pies are a nostalgic thing for you, the taste takes you back to childhood. for me, that's a proper shepherd's pie - every time my mum cooks it for me, it tastes like a plate full of comfort. i'm a skeptic, i need to see it to believe in it and never have had a very convincing encounter with the spirits. maybe on this trip, however. you been having a good time so far? ghostbusters was a very clever costume and you looked great in it, giving you and sydney top marks for the whole thing. maybe not but that's where the day trips come in handy.

While I'm sure it was a pain looking for the best sales, at least you were prepared way in advance for the holiday. The pros and cons to life, I guess. Always fifteen minutes early? I need to take some notes from you because whenever I try my best to get somewhere early, I always fail. It's the kids that are somewhat easy when it comes to gift giving because they spend all year telling you what they want. The adults though or teens...they're the hard ones to buy for. I've just got two sisters and they both have their own families, and we are pretty close to our cousins. So Christmas is a big thing for us Teller's. So, my wallet does ache after the holidays just a bit.

i absolutely loathe shopping, so biting the bullet and just getting everything done at once and as cheaply as possible is an incredibly underrated strategy. i've been afflicted by this needing to be early thing since i was young, it causes me anxiety if i'm late somewhere. my brain is a delightful place at times. that's true. by the time they're in school, handing them money or a gift card makes everything easier. there's no disappointment quite like showing up with a soft package to a teenager's birthday party. i buy my brothers gift cards too, just for hotel stays or for ticketmaster. low effort and always a hit. that's gotta be a lot of noise and chaos but i imagine in the best way possible. it's not often you can manage to have all the family come together for something, so it's a moment to enjoy.

oh, you'd never interrupt. thank you, i'm so glad you made it out. i won't be forgetting this night for a long time. it was a truly magical night. i don't really have anything planned, no. this was such a huge event that all my energy and planning went into it. i kind of forgot to make plans for the actual day itself. i'm sure i'll think of something later. what have you been up to these days? feels like ages since we've spoken.

you were the lady of the hour and would've felt wrong to pull you away. i did manage to have a quick chat with your mother however, she was as lovely as ever. oh, i bet planning a party like that took a lot out of you. how did you end up spending the day? it has been quite a bit, which is a true shame. nothing that exciting has been happening,frankly. just trying to get used to living in LA and i've been promoting La Chimera in Europe this week. currently in Rome and attempting to eat my weight in pasta before i leave. will i be seeing you in Scotland next week?

She'd watch it still but I know she can't trust herself to keep quiet with her opinion afterwards and I know she won't risk that. Yes, that's definitely what it felt like for this..and to be honest, no, think the weirdos are scared of me now. Which might be the biggest blessing of them all. Speaking of projects coming out – or being postponed, how are you feeling about all of that? Heard Challenger got a big push back? @joshyo

maybe she'll still watch it and just pretend otherwise? your mother is quite the actress. um, i wonder what's the key to making them scared? because i'd love to know some secrets, sounds like a skill i'd like to master. i was quite upset about them postponing it but there's not much anyone could've done differently because of the circumstances. however, it's worth the wait. i'm promoting la chimera at the rome film festival, so at least one project was released on schedule, which i appreciate.

ah, me dear awkward brit, if there's one thing you can pull off, it's a bonnet and a heaving bosom, no doubt about it. smize, you say? i've been smizing so hard, i reckon i've pulled a muscle in me face. tyra would either be burstin' with pride or absolutely horrified... it's a fine line, it is. and, yeah, i might have indulged in a bit too much ANTM myself, though i'd never publicly own up to it. how about we plan a marathon together soon? now, when it comes to on-set grub, i won't lie, there were a fair few options that resembled rabbit food. but worry not, hidden away was a cheeky sandwich station, and let's just say, quite a few of those ended up in me bag for later. always gotta be prepared for those post-shoot munchies. i'm always ready, keep that in mind for our time together on set. so, how have you been, anyway? i've spotted your name poppin' up in the gossip from time to time – breakin' hearts, are ya?

it's the role i've been born to play, fainting dramatically when you're in the room. let's hope i don't shatter any bones as i fling myself on the floor. you've clearly been suffering for your art, we all are immensely grateful for it. miss tyra and her kooky world of modeling was and remains a great guilty pleasure that i don't actually feel that guilty for. the season yoanna house won remains my favourite and i will forever be willing to rewatch it. carbs at a fashion shoot? sacré bleu, what's the world coming to. stolen sandwiches taste much better than the ones you'd have to pay for yourself, so i absolutely understand. very much looking forward to seeing you at your element then, mate. oh, those rags are never accurate. they don't serve a purpose outside of being someone's creative writing assignment. i'm doing wonderfully, in Rome for the film festival and i'm staying for a few extra days to eat, sight-see and relax.
