You never know what’s going to happen in NYC!
I arrived in the Big Apple on Friday and checked in for the junket at the Plaza Hotel – gorgeous and opulent!
The excitement that is Gatsby was building. By the evening I watched the explosive movie – one word BRILLIANT!
The next morning it was time to interview the actors. So many questions, so little time!
The moments were in the hallway. Before my interview with Tobey Maguire, who plays the infamous character Nick Carraway, we chatted about our kids. In 
the hall he came up to me and shared his photos of his children on his Blackberry, so cute! And he likes dark chocolate!
It was a big surprise to see The Great Gatsby himself, Leo DiCaprio, in the hall as he walked by Baz Luhrmann’s room and took a peak inside… very cute! Great moment seeing Leo as Leo.
Then it was my turn to chat with Baz… halfway into the interview, his assistant joined me in my chair and took over the interview! We ended with a photo keeping that fun moment alive!
Oh and Carey Mulligan (AKA Daisy Buchanan) loved my dress:)
Watch my vlog below for a sneak peek at my experience!
