Q: Can you tell me a fond memory from working with Freddie Mercury?
While I never sang with Freddie live, I collaborated on a Queen album concept using a symphony orchestra, and Freddie would visit the studio, share moments at the piano, and marvel at the idea of reinterpreting their songs, which was both thrilling and intimate.

Q: What scene would you love to recreate from Rooster?
She would love a sauna moment with Walt (John C. McGinley) and Katie; she imagines a detective spinoff with the two characters.
The Group Chat! Charly Clive on Steve Carell, Recovering from A Brain Tumour and Why the Best Revenge is Living Well

Weight training and stronger, healthier bodies for women, plus the importance of authenticity and challenging societal expectations around gender and fitness.
