“Truly, the easiest part was acting in it,” Meg told Carol Burnett during a conversation for Interview Magazine.

She continued, saying, “I hadn’t done a role in a really long time, but it was fun with David [Duchovny, co-star]. A lot of it was done in two shots. I’m proud of that. I set up everything beforehand so that once we were there, it was just David and I trying to tell the truth.”

What Happens Later premieres on October 13. Press play on the trailer below!

Last year we learned why Meg‘s character was missing from the sequel to Top Gun. More recently, an ex admitted to being a bad boyfriend to her.
