In their film, a single guy (Wayans) hires an attorney (Cook) to sue a dating app company after being promised he’d find a romantic partner.

“I have a little bit, you know, it’s interesting…it’s the best possible way to talk to a stranger. I like it,” she said of trying out online dating.

“But I’m dating someone wonderful now, so I’ve stopped that,” she said, referring to her new boyfriend, Kevin.

“It’s pretty fun to see the way — just as an actor — I just think it’s interesting to see how people present themselves. There’s a character study moment,” she continued.

“I online date mainly when my wife’s asleep,” Damon joked.

“Naw, I’ve never online dated before. But I have a lot of friends who, you know, give me a lot of horror stories, but also good stories. I know a couple who have been going strong for probably like three years now and they met online.”

“He’s really great. I did good, if I do say so,” Rachael says of finding new love after her divorce from Daniel. “I met someone really nice, and I adore him. He’s fantastic.”

But in the meantime, I’m just going to take small steps and they can be on a need to know basis.”

Jillian Bell Gets Support from Tobey Maguire at 'Brittany Runs a Marathon' Premiere!

Jillian Bell happily strikes a pose with Tobey Maguire while attending premiere of her Amazon Studios’ film Brittany Runs A Marathon held at Regal LA Liveon on Thursday (August 15) in Los Angeles.

The 35-year-old actress and Tobey, 44, who is an executive producer of the film, were joined at the event by co-stars Lil Rel Howery, Michaela Watkins, Utkarsh Ambudkar, Alice Lee, Micah Stock and Nadia Quinn, as well as Amazon Studios head Jennifer Salke, writer-director Paul Downs Colaizzo and real-life inspiration of the film, Brittany O’Neill.

Also in attendance to show their support were Abby‘s Natalie Morales, Cheyenne Jackson and husband Jason Landau, Rachael Leigh Cook, GLOW‘s Shakira Barrera, comedian Fortune Feimster, Pitch Perfect‘s Chrissie Fit, The Kominsky Method‘s Lisa Edelstein, Broad City’s Paul W. Downs, Insatiable‘s Arden Myrin and Camp Camp‘s Dante Basco.

Synopsis: Hilarious, outgoing and always up for a good time, New Yorker Brittany Forgler (Jillian) is everybody’s best friend ― except maybe her own. At 27, her hard-partying ways, chronic underemployment and toxic relationships are catching up with her, but when she stops by a new doctor’s office to try to score some Adderall, she gets slapped with a prescription she never wanted: Get healthy. Too broke for a gym and too proud to ask for help, Brit is at a loss, until her seemingly together neighbor Catherine pushes her to lace up her Converse sneakers and run one sweaty block. The next day, she runs two. And soon, after finishing her first mile, she sets an almost unthinkable goal: running in the New York City Marathon.

Amazon Studios is set to release Brittany Runs a Marathon in theaters on August 23 – Watch the trailer here!

Rachael Leigh Cook & Daniel Gillies Reveal They Haven't Told Their Kids About Their Split

Rachael Leigh Cook is getting candid about her split with Daniel Gillies.

While making an appearance at the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Summer 2019 TCA Press Tour on Friday (July 26), the 39-year-old actress revealed that she and the 43-year-old actor haven’t told their kids – Charlotte, 5, and Theodore, 4 – about their split yet.

“Daniel’s actually filming in New Zealand for almost three months now, and so we can’t formally talk to them about what’s going on until he’s back, because otherwise what it means is dad disappeared,” Rachael shared with ET. “That’s far from anything Daniel would ever do, or myself. He’s hopelessly devoted to them and we’re going to get through this together. He’s an amazing person and I still consider him my very best friend and we’ll make it one way or another.”

Rachael and Daniel revealed back in June that they were splitting up after nearly 15 years of marriage.

“I get [why fans might be sad],” Rachael added. “I take it very personally usually when extra couples break up… But, you know, we got married when I was 24. I think we were just a little bit ahead of the curve, so it feels like we’re first, and that’s hard, but I don’t know. I still love him to death, and he’s gone and I miss him, but we’re just going to forge a new path forward.”

“As long as the kids will be OK, I’ll be OK,” Rachael Leigh Cook continued. “I don’t know what I’m doing, so if anybody has advice, tag me online. Seriously, I’m all ears.”
