It’s a Tuesday morning on the outdoor terrace of the infamous Hollywood landmark, Chateau Marmont, and flame-haired actor-turned-auteur Natasha Lyonne is leaning back on a sofa pondering the idea of ‘till death do us part’. ‘A lot of the guys I’m seeing at the moment are talking to me about marriage and kids and I’m like, “Calm down, bitch, I’m just sleeping with you!”’
I’m not entirely sure how we ended up talking about advancements in scientific reproduction before segueing into divorce rates, abortion rights and AI, but that’s a conversation with Natasha Lyonne for you. As anyone who has watched Russian Doll (which she created two seasons of with comedian Amy Poehler and Leslye Headland) will know, Lyonne doesn’t sweat the small stuff. It’s the bigger picture — the existentialism of it all — that keeps her awake at night.
