Cinematical: You and Susan Sarandon starred in a SNL Digital Short entitled “Motherlover” with Justin Timberlake and Andy Samberg. How did that come about?

Patricia Clarkson: [Laughs] That was simple. I just got a call. I guess Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake had me and Susan Sarandon in mind as their mothers. I was a little shocked at first; I didn’t really understand. I was like, what are we doing in the video? Remember, I’m a nice Southern girl. Then when I found out what it was, I was like, Oh my gosh. They [Timberlake, Samberg, and Lonely Island cohorts Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone] were lovely, lovely. We shot it in one day – I just showed up in the morning, we shot all these videos, we shot that night, and boom! The next night it was on “Saturday Night Live!” It was wild. It’s crazy how they do this, they work so long and such long hours, and they’re brilliantly talented. They’re all just geniuses, the Lonely Island guys.
