"It's only 9:30 a.m. here in LA," Malkin laughed.
The Australian-born actress expanded upon what it's been like to watch the pandemic play out, noting that watching other countries in the world open up businesses and lifting quarantine orders has caused some confusion.

The "Spy" star shared that, like the rest of Hollywood, she and Cannavale's acting careers have been placed on hold for the time being.

Byrne shared that she feels "lucky" that her family is "safe" despite the unknowns.
