A hook?
Rachel McAdams: "The hooks - thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I'm hanging from the hooks and I go past the boiling water and then come out the other side, and then go past the band saw. It's pretty fun."

Rachel McAdams: "Yeah, yeah. He [pointing to Robert Downey Jr] makes everything fun. Like he's so playful. And even when he's doing the most serious scene, you know before they call action he's like on another planet - the planet of fun. And then he's all serious."

How do you keep it together?
Rachel McAdams: "Well, I'm very professional. I've been practicing. No, it's hard. I mean him and Jude are really funny together. They make such a great couple so, yeah."
