Ocean's 8 interview: Cate Blanchett, Sandra Bullock, and Sarah Paulson plan the perfect heist

Naturally, it involves a combination of sleeping and pratfalls

Ocean's 8 finds the most flawless of teams to pull off one impossible heist: infiltrate the Met Gala to steal one of the most expensive diamond necklaces in the world.

Of course, this is a team all played in real life by a similar collection of incredible talents: Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Rihanna, Mindy Kaling, Sarah Paulson, Awkwafina, Anne Hathaway, and Helena Bonham Carter.

However, those talents are focused more on the entertainment side than high-stakes thievery, so when we asked three of these stars - Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, and Sarah Paulson, how they'd pull of their own heist, the answer was noticeably less ambitious.

Bullock offered "deft wit and personality", Blanchett has "good at sleeping", and Paulson can chime in with the pratfalls. Which all sound like different types of distraction, so it's actually their co-star Mindy Kaling who would have to chip in with the concrete skills.

"Mindy would probably mastermind the whole thing," the trio declared. "She's practical and quick... and realistic. We just do a lot of talking and think we're clever, Mindy actually listens and says something valuable and important."

So lots of distractions - and then someone to sneak behind and do the job. Actually, that sounds like it could work. And the mark? "It would be a clothing store. A high-end clothing store," Bullock answered.

Ocean's 8 is out in cinemas now.
