Jenny Lewis mentions working with Kristen on the 'Just One of the Guys' music video (Elle US)



Aww. Kristen Stewart starred in your last video for "Just One of the Guys." How did that happen?!

I e-mailed her. Seriously. I'd met her a few years ago, and I knew she was a big Rilo Kiley fan. She was the second person I cast. The first was Anne Hathaway, who is one of my great friends. We worked together for a year on a movie called Song One, which she produced. Johnathan and I wrote the songs for that, and we became great friends with Annie through it…so Kristen is the one girl in the video who I knew the least, and I was so excited that she just came on set and joined in. And do you know she's hilarious? She's hilarious. I didn't have to do much directing with her, because she was, like, perfect.

Jenny Lewis talks about the 'Just One of the Guys' music video & Kristen (VH1 & The Daily Beast)





The Daily Beast Speaking of movie stars, you got a lot of your celeb friends out for the “Just One of the Guys” video, including Kristen Stewart, Anne Hathaway, and Brie Larson. How did that come about?

It was a concept that I’d been thinking about, and I wanted to direct the first video. Based on my Instagram account, where I make these little Lynchian movies, that’s how I convinced my record label that I could direct it. And then I could my friends up and told them, “Oh, my friends Annie and Kristen and Brie are going to be in this thing,” and they said, “OK, you can direct it.” My only goal as a director was to make everyone look badass, and I didn’t have to do much because those girls were born to do it.

Do you have any favorite moments from shooting the video? It seems like a very fun time.

It was so great. When Annie started breakdancing, I nearly lost my shit. That was all her idea and we just rolled the camera, and she proceeded to do the best/worst breakdancing I’d ever seen. I laughed so, so hard.

Was releasing the video through GQ meant to be ironic? To release this feminist anthem through what is essentially a lad mag that guys read at barbershops?

I chose it because I thought it would be funny to release it on the Gentlemen’s Quarterly website, but I genuinely love GQ. The food and drink stuff that they cover in that magazine is so sick.

Jenny Lewis talks about working on the music video for 'Just One of the Guys' (2 interviews)



Jenny Lewis mentions working on the 'Just One of the Guys' video at 12:16m.

Jenny Lewis: "They were so cool and I didn't even have to pay them...They did it for free...They were pretty easy to direct...i have so much respect for them as actors. I gave them one or two takes and they just knew what exactly to do..."

If you didn’t know, Jenny was actually an actress before she was a musician. That might have something to do with how she directed her last music video and had super-celebs Anne Hathaway and Kristen Stewart dress up as males for her lead single “Just One Of The Guys”. “I was so lucky that they trusted me as a first time director, and I think they really connected with the lyrics in the song, because we all go that and we’ve all been criticized and scrutinized publically, so it was a really fun opportunity to poke fun of it but also speak to the underlying theme in the song” said Jenny.

Jenny Lewis mentions Kristen



Why did you choose Anne Hathaway, Brie Larson and Kristen Stewart specifically?

Well, they’re my friends. Annie and Brie in particular were some of the first people that I played my record for months ago when I first mastered it. Kristen I don’t know as well, but got to know her on the day of the shoot. Tennessee Thomas, who plays drums, is one of my best friends as well. We dressed them in track suits and they were so open and great to watch. They’re just so good that it made my job really easy. We had a blast. We were laughing all day long.
