Cobie Smulders Talks Babies With Oprah


Cobie Smulders who is on the show, How I Met Your Mother, is due next month. She had a chance to sit down with Oprah and talks about being Canadian, dinner and the new baby. Here are the highlights:

On being Canadian: It’s fun. It’s definitely quirky. We’ve been doing it a lot though—we just wrapped an episode today, and my entire storyline was spitting out Canada-isms. It’s such an easy, funny thing for [the writers], and you can do so much with it. Every character has their go-to joke. With Jason [Segal, who plays Marshall], it’s food stuff. He’s always eating, looking for the best hamburger in the world or something. For me, I’m always throwing out sayings or things that nobody’s ever heard of because they’re Canadian. And then there’s Robin Sparkles, who was only a star in Canada, but that story line’s a whole thing unto itself.

On who she would love to have dinner with (living or dead): I would really love to sit with Kathryn Hepburn because I find her so interesting. I also lost a cousin a few years ago who I was really close to, he was like my brother, so if I could have dinner with him one more time I’d love that.

On what she would like to pass on to her child: I think the big thing for me and my guy is that we really just want her to be kind and considerate. And to listen. Listening is a big thing for us. We’re both in this industry, and it’s so important to listen to people and to connect and be generous. Kindness is something that I feel is leaving us a little bit—people are getting more self-involved. And I get like that too, we all do, so I just really want her to be kind and good.
