Sacha Baron Cohen and Rosamund Pike break down the sharp satire, physical comedy, and gender-swapped power dynamics behind Ladies First. From an intense last-minute body transformation to awkwardly hilarious role reversals, the pair discuss how the film flips traditional privilege on its head.
In this exclusive Ladies First interview with Collider, Cohen reveals why he called Matthew McConaughey for emergency fitness advice just weeks before filming, while Pike shares what made the movie’s unconventional sex scene so funny to shoot. The two also discuss how the film explores empathy through comedy, with both characters forced to confront the privileges they usually take for granted.
Pike explains why performing exaggerated “alpha” behavior kept making her break character, while Cohen reflects on the challenge of portraying a man suddenly ignored in corporate spaces. They also share behind-the-scenes stories about improvised moments, costume gags, and the flipped-world satire that drives the movie.
