-First of all, always wonderful to see you.
-Oh, great to see you.
-And I want to talk about that clip right away.
I couldn't help but notice an incredibly high leg kick.
Like, an impressively high leg kick.
-It's my one good dance move.
It's the one thing I do, is I do high kicks.
So Anthony had me kick in the first movie. I did a big kick.
And in the second movie I get to kick again.
[ Laughter ]
-And this was something that he -- this was 10 years --
and I want to point out, so 10 years later,
you still have the kick.
-I'm still high kicking. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And for -- for any who forget, I do want to show how exact --
how good your leg kick was in the first "Mamma Mia!"
Let's take a look.
-Oh, okay. Let's look.
♪ Now you're so cute, I like your style ♪
♪ And I know what you mean ♪
♪ When you give me a flash of that smile ♪
♪ Oh, but, boy, you're only a child ♪
-It's like -- [ Cheers and applause ]
-I would do it right now, but my Spanx would show.
[ Laughter ]
I know. It's like a rubber Gumby. It just goes up.
-Yeah, it's like a door that's off its hinge or something.
-But the funny thing is it's my one good leg because --
[ Laughter ]
I broke my -- I smashed my kneecap
when I was preparing to do a musical.
I was on my way from a ballet class to a jazz class.
And just by a fluke, I slid and I wasn't even on high heels,
and it was flat pavement.
But I went down on my kneecap and I broke it.
I've told this story too many times.
But I smashed my kneecap,
so actually this is my one good leg.
[ Laughter ]
-There you go. -But it appears in the movie.
-Yeah, there you go.
I mean, they say all you really need in Hollywood
is one good leg. -One good leg.
[ Laughter ]
-Obviously this is an incredible cast.
Cher is in the cast.
-Oh, my God, it's such a great movie.
You're spending so much time talking about Mr. T,
and this movie will take people so far away from that.
-Yes, that's really nice.
-They can go to a beautiful Greek island
with wonderful actors and ABBA songs.
And they're just going to have a great time.
You're just going -- you're going to love this movie.
-It's a perfect definition.
Even the people in the movie are making --
having an escape from their lives, which is --
-We had so much fun making this movie.
We had great fun making the first one
and even more fun with the second one.
We were on this beautiful island
off of the coast of Croatia called Vis.
And we didn't want to leave.
We were, like, enchanted the whole time.
-And how -- I mean, do you guys still see each other?
Like, did you run into Cher at the premiere?
Is that something that happens?
-Well, we were all together
doing this eight-day press junket,
this marathon press junket.
And then we went to Stockholm and did press there.
And then we had this big premiere in Stockholm.
And then we did the -- more press.
And I kept bumping into Cher in the hall of the hotel.
And then we did the big premiere, just --
oh, my God, it was just two days ago.
I just got in from London yesterday night.
But yeah, Cher was at the premiere.
And she actually saw -- she came up to me --
I mean, she was across the room.
And I had my favorite Cher moment.
It was just mine alone.
She actually -- across the --
at the party of the premiere she went,
"Hey, you high-kicking bitch."
[ Laughter and applause ]
And then she came over and we had this wonderful chat.
And I got to tell her how great I thought she was
'cause she's sensational.
She sings "Fernando" coming down a staircase.
And she was very nice about me and my high kick,
so, yeah, I had a Cher moment.
-You mention you went to Stockholm.
Obviously, ABBA, they are Swedish.
What was your reception there?
-Oh, my God, they're like --
it's like the pope, you know, has arrived.
They're reverential towards ABBA.
And yeah, we were in a motorcade and then we got to the --
in front of the theater where the premiere was.
It was lined with beautiful Swedish people,
including this little girl who had a hat on that said,
"I heart Christine Baranski."
-We actually have a photo. -Oh, do you?
-It's an incredibly professionally made hat.
That is not a cheap hat.
[ Laughter ]
That would lead you to believe they sell those
in stores in Sweden.
[ Laughter ]
-It's just this little girl,
and she's 10 years old and her father was translating.
He said, "We've come six hours.
We drove for six hours to get to Stockholm
because she's obsessed with your character.
She wants to grow up to be Tanya."
But if you've seen the movie...
[ Laughter ]
Tanya's had multiple divorces and is addicted to Chardonnay.
-"She never wants to be with one man her whole life."
-No, she drinks a lot of wine.
I didn't know whether to encourage her or...
[ Laughter ]
...send her into therapy. [ Laughter ]
-You have a 2-year-old grandson --
-I have a 4 1/2-year-old grandson.
-Oh, 4 1/2-year-old.
-And a 2 1/2-year-old grandson and another on the way.
-On the way. -Any day now.
-Any day now. -Any day!
-Very exciting. [ Cheers and applause ]
I could -- Yeah.
-Is there an age that ABBA songs
become popular to young children?
-Actually, my 2-year-old... -Really?
-...sings, "Mamma mia, mamma mia, mamma mia"
and the other one sings "Super Trouper."
-Oh, wow.
-And I think I'm going to take my 4 1/2-year-old grandson
to see the second one, because there's nothing, I mean --
-Yeah. -There's nothing violent.
It's all just beautiful settings and music.
And, you know, I do say one word --
I have one sentence that has a word
that is descriptive of a female.
-Uh-huh. -An anatomical part.
-Okay, gotcha. -But I think that'll just --
-If you know it's coming,
you can throw the hands on the ears, right?
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-I could, but -- -I'm jealous.
I have a 2-year-old,
and he doesn't sing anything as fun as ABBA.
[ Laughter ]
-ABBA is amazing.
At the premiere in London, you had people of all ages.
I mean, there were 10-year-olds there.
There were teenagers who were obsessed.
And there, of course, people who grew up with ABBA, like I did.
But it just -- it just goes across --
it's cross-generational.
And this movie, I think, is coming at a great time.
The world is so dark and confused.
-Yeah. -As you say every single night.
-Yeah, so just -- it's time to --
[ Laughter ]
Let's get some fun music and some primary colors out there.
Yeah. -Exactly.
[ Laughter ]
-Thank you so much for being here.
It's always such a pleasure to see you. I really appreciate it.
Christine Baranski, everyone.
