Michael Cera, Sophia Lillis, and Hannah Gross Interview: The Adults
35Michael Cera is a master of playing awkwardly lovable weirdos. From Superbad to Juno to Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, he’s made a name for himself in these excellently eccentric dramedies. Sophia Lillis has had a somewhat similar career path, oftentimes playing the offbeat outcast in projects like It, I Am Not Okay With This, and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, and Hannah Gross has found a niche in the indie sphere as well as appeared in more commercial projects like Joker and Mindhunter.
Together, they’re electric as the core trio in Dustin Guy Defa’s The Adults. The three of them play fractured siblings: Cera is Eric, the eldest and most emotionally unavailable who’s struggling with a poker addiction; Gross plays Rachel, the responsible and uptight middle child; and Lillis is Maggie, the youngest and sweetest who just wants everyone to get along. Their chemistry is undeniable as they do silly voices, strange bits, and spontaneous songs and dances in an attempt to reconnect.
And their chemistry is obvious in this interview, too, where the three of them spent the whole time laughing and teasing one another as I asked them about which character they relate to most, the special way in which their own families communicate, the most difficult scene to shoot, choreographing their own dances, and more.
This interview was conducted prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
