Alison Brie Admits She Has Trouble Calling Hubby Dave Franco By His Actual Name

Alison Brie paid a visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday (August 14), and opened up about what it was like working with her husband, Dave Franco, on set of his directorial debut The Rental.

“It’s the best,” the 36-year-old actress told Seth. “He’s such a sweet guy and put everyone at ease on set. We’ve worked together as actors before but never in this capacity.”

Alison then admitted that she would constantly call him pet names while on set together: “It’s his first film that he’s directed. So there was this learning curve of, day one rehearsal one, we’re talking about the blocking in the scene and I was like, ‘Honey, do you think I should cross at this time?’,” she explained. “I was like, ‘Do you want me to call you Dave on set when we’re around the actors?’ He was like, ‘Could you call me David Franco? I need you to be professional.’”

“We’re a real ‘babe’ and ‘honey’ household,” Alison concluded. “It was a full ‘babe’ and ‘honey’ set. I will tell you.”

Alison Brie also talked about directing her first episode of GLOW, practicing her wrestling moves on her cat, taking photos with fans in a headlock, and being on the cover of ESPN The Magazine.

FYI: Alison is wearing a Dundas dress.
