you do it properly? Did you? Oh yeah, we00:04:18

toilets, thinking, "Well, that's easy00:04:24
access to the toilets, and you realize00:04:27
your tent is everybody else's00:04:29
toilet." Uh, but it was a lot of fun. We00:04:31
had a great time. Beyonce, who is or is00:04:34
not backstage right now,00:04:39
is not being offered a word.00:04:45
Also, Pope Benedict may or may not.00:04:49
That's such a cruel game.00:04:53
She just insists on coming everywhere00:04:54
with me now. Have you done festivals00:04:57
before? I've done a long time. I've done00:04:59
festivals for a long time. Now and00:05:00
again. I think I'll go when I'm about00:05:02
50. You see the you see them, don't you?00:05:04
In the in the crowd. You see the the00:05:06

Oh [ __ ] I don't know00:05:17
quite one. Now you Now you spilled your00:05:20
tea.00:05:22
Yes, I'll be there drinking my tea when00:05:24
I'm at 50. I thought I was going to have00:05:25
a real CBI moment. But we went um to00:05:28
watch Plan B and I like a bit of Plan B,00:05:30
you know, and I went backstage and I00:05:33
kind of saw him just before he went on00:05:36
and we kind of had that eye contact00:05:38
thing and he kind of did a little nod00:05:40
and I thought, "Oh god, he knows who I I00:05:42
was just so impressed and amazed that00:05:44
maybe he know." And he did this, "Come00:05:46
here." So I kind of waddled over pretty00:05:49
drunk and I said, "Hey, how's it going,00:05:51
man?" And he said, "Can I get a00:05:55
water?00:05:58
Amazing. That was good. I felt like Did00:06:01
you get one? I had to. Yeah, of course.00:06:04
Because I thought we Okay, we don't have00:06:05
the connection I thought maybe we had,00:06:07
but he still needs me.00:06:11
Now, listen. Tonight, tonight we've got00:06:13
uh two I'm so happy. Two great films to00:06:15
talk about. Couldn't be more different.00:06:17
I mean, very different films. Uh00:06:19
Bridesmaids, huge hit comedy, number one00:06:22
all over the world at the moment. It's00:06:23
doing well. It's doing well. It's00:06:24
exciting times. It is. And Beginners,00:06:27
your movie, it's out on July uh the00:06:29
22nd, I think. Yes. Not out yet. No, not00:06:32
out yet. Film doing incredibly well film00:06:34
nobody's ever heard of. They will now00:06:37
we're telling them about it because No,00:06:38
I've watched it. It is a really lovely00:06:42
film and it's a really kind of personal00:06:44
film and quirky. I I feel super when I00:06:48
was reading about it afterwards that00:06:49
it's a true story. Yes, it's Mike Mills00:06:51
um directed his first film, Thumb00:06:53
Sucker, about six or seven years ago.00:06:55
It's a film I really liked. It's really00:06:56
interesting. He's got a real vision.00:06:58
He's an artist, Mike Mills. He's a00:07:00
graphic artist. He did um the Beasty00:07:02
Boys album covers and Air's album covers00:07:04
and he uh he's a really interesting man00:07:07
and and an artist and his filmm is like00:07:09
an extension of his art if you like. And00:07:11
so it's a00:07:14
beautiful personal sensitive telling of00:07:17
his story, his story of his father. his00:07:19
his mother died and um three or four00:07:22
years after that his father came out to00:07:24
to Mike and and and said that he was00:07:26
gay. He was 75 years old at the time and00:07:29
um and started living his life, you00:07:31
know, his real true life as a gay man.00:07:33
He he went on a real gay bender and he00:07:35
joined every gay club. He was a member00:07:36
of gay book clubs and gay movie clubs00:07:39
and everything in the house had rainbows00:07:41
on it and he just was fully alive and00:07:44
happy. So, um, it's it's the telling of00:07:46
that. Fantastic premise for a film. It's00:07:49
his. I'm gonna go see that. No, it is.00:07:51
And and the way it's made is is really00:07:54
interesting. Very beautiful. There's two00:07:56
stories. There's a father and son story,00:07:57
me and Christopher Plumber. And then00:07:59
there's a love story. Um, my character00:08:02
Oliver meets and falls in love with a00:08:03
French actress played by Melanie Lauren00:08:05
who was in um in Glorious Bastards.00:08:06
Brilliant actress. Well, listen. We've00:08:08
got a clip. Uh, this is Christopher00:08:10
Plameumber as the dad. Here we go.00:08:12
Oliver. Yeah. I'm not sorry I woke you.00:08:18
I went to Akbar tonight. You did? Yeah.00:08:22
No, they had some wonderfully loud00:08:25
music.00:08:31
What kind of music is that? Probably00:08:33
house music. House music. Okay. House.00:08:40
[Applause]00:08:43
Fantastic. It really is fantastic00:08:45
plumber. He's such a lovely lovely man.00:08:48
He's a real He's from a He's you know he00:08:50
was he tells stories about acting actor00:08:53
stories from like Hollywood in the 60s00:08:54
and the people he was knocking about00:08:56
with then and but he's incredibly um00:08:59
modern when you're acting with him. He's00:09:00
he's a real contemporary actor. He's00:09:02
really lives the scenes with you. It's00:09:04
not old-fashioned at all when he's00:09:05
acting. He's lovely. He's about 10 years00:09:07
older than the characters. He's he's in00:09:08
his 80s, Christopher. Yeah. He's an00:09:10
amazing guy cuz it's a as it's a00:09:12
beautiful film. Very true. But this00:09:14
little bit of Hollywood I think creep in00:09:16
cuz uh you've got Christopher Plameumber00:09:18
there playing 70 odd right actually 80s00:09:22
something in the film comes out his00:09:25
first boyfriend is Dr. Kovatch from ER.00:09:31
Tell you that's not true. That's not00:09:33
that's not going to happen. But doesn't00:09:35
he have that line in the film? He does00:09:36
say that um young men aren't interested00:09:39
in old or young gay men aren't00:09:40
interested in old gay men. That's true.00:09:41
Right. Okay.00:09:44
Dr. Bach is sleeping around Christopher00:09:46
Plameumber. I'm just00:09:49
He's at the other end of the bar.00:09:53
But the the the love story you talked00:09:55
about there with Melanie Lauron, uh you00:09:58
had to bond with her as well. Yes. The00:10:00
first thing he did was we met each other00:10:02
is at Mike's house and the first I'd00:10:04
never met Melanie. I loved her in that00:10:05
film and Glorious Bastard. She's really00:10:07
fantastic actress. She's French and um00:10:10
you know it's intimidating. You know, we00:10:12
were about to embark on this love story00:10:13
together. I've never met her before and00:10:15
we we introduced to each other and we00:10:16
sit down. He said, "Okay, I'd like you00:10:18
to I'd like you to split up with each00:10:20
other now. You've been in a relationship00:10:22
for a long time and I'd like you to00:10:24
improvise through a breakup. Ean, I'd00:10:26
like you to leave Melanie because you're00:10:28
tired of her." And he gave me some00:10:29
reasons why I should be leaving her. He00:10:30
said, "Melanie, you don't want him to00:10:32
leave." "Okay, go. And now, oh god. Cuz00:10:35
the thing about improvisation is you00:10:37
just think the other person's just going00:10:39
to think that this is how I would do it.00:10:40
You know, no matter what acting you do,00:10:42
you just think this is they think this00:10:44
is how I do it. It's a bit like a00:10:46
masturbation scene in a film. It's quite00:10:49
it's quite difficult to pull that off00:10:50
without everybody knowing that's just00:10:51
how you do it. You know what I mean?00:10:57
Yeah.00:11:00
And it's very awkward if you if you00:11:02
masturbate while breaking up with00:11:03
someone. Yeah.00:11:06
Never mind you, the clue phone is00:11:08
ringing. If that happens,00:11:12
she'd be out the door because you had to00:11:14
do some bonding in bridesmaids, didn't00:11:16
you? We do. Well, you know, we we we uh00:11:18
we did a little bit of rehearsal like00:11:20
that and a lot of the film was00:11:21
improvised, so we were kind of I was00:11:23
prepared for that a little bit. Well, we00:11:25
kind of just played a lot of games. Like00:11:27
there's a scene where we're kind of00:11:28
sitting on a cop car and I play a cop in00:11:30
the film, right? And uh we would just00:11:33
play would you rather a lot. You know00:11:35
that game, would you rather? It's a pub00:11:37
game. Yeah. Yeah. Like, would you rather00:11:40
have a nipple on the end of your nose or00:11:44
a tooth growing out of your00:11:46
cheek? Or would you rather have to eat a00:11:49
bath full of poo or have a small bird00:11:52
poo in your mouth every morning for the00:11:54
rest of your life?00:11:57
I think it's easy. Which would you go00:11:59
for? You You'd get the bird, wouldn't00:12:01
you? No. No. But you have to do it every00:12:03
day for the rest of your life. But you00:12:05
get used to it.00:12:08
The bird will become your friend. It'll00:12:09
be nice to wake up. Here comes the00:12:11
birds. Yeah. Morning poo. And then off00:12:16
full of poo. I suppose a bird poo is00:12:18
only quite weird. You could go for a00:12:20
very small bird. No bird.00:12:23
No. No. You don't get to choose. What is00:12:24
that? An albatross. It's a rain. You00:12:27
said a00:12:29
small bird. Can I ask you one? Can I00:12:32
I'll think one. When you so when you're00:12:34
at Glastenbury, right, and you go00:12:35
backstage and there's Beyonce who's00:12:36
waiting for you back, my friend. Yeah.00:12:38
So, would you rather when you you go up00:12:40
to her and you're speaking to her, would00:12:41
you00:12:42
rather sneeze and have both barrels blow00:12:45
snot all down your face or cough and00:12:47
[ __ ] yourself?00:12:51
[Applause]00:12:54
That's a good one. That's your fiancé.00:12:55
That's a very good one. Oh, both of them00:12:57
are a nightmare, aren't they? Yet again,00:12:59
I'm going to have to go with00:13:01
[ __ ] Cuz you can lay crate there and00:13:04
hope she didn't notice. No, she wouldn't00:13:05
know.00:13:07
You could lay glass. The smell wouldn't00:13:10
affect. No, you would. You just think00:13:12
you need got a small cough. You just00:13:13
have to back off, wouldn't you? See you.00:13:15
Bye. There would be the fear that she00:13:17
would presume. But yeah, it's a weird00:13:20
example because Beyonce and I are so00:13:22
close.00:13:24
Sorry, I don't mean I don't mean Oh, no.00:13:25
It's just, you know, we hang out a lot00:13:27
and we just like to dance together more00:13:30
than you know. She loves to cook. I love00:13:32
to cook. Um, we're just close. Yeah, I00:13:37
don't want to I don't want to talk about00:13:38
No, I just plucked it as an example out00:13:41
there. I didn't bring any offense by00:13:42
Yeah, it's weird. We're just really00:13:44
really close.00:13:46
Now, listen. You You've made really got00:13:48
interesting choices, the films you made,00:13:49
you know, over the years, kind of train00:13:51
spotting, big fish, all these, you know,00:13:53
really interesting. The anomaly, the one00:13:55
that kind of seems out of kilter with00:13:56
the rest was that you decided to do Star00:13:59
Wars. Yes. Were you like a big fan of00:14:01
Star Wars? Was it just so much money?00:14:03
What was it? No, it was it wasn't so00:14:06
much money. I know that now. At the00:14:08
time, I thought it was a lot of money.00:14:09
Um, no, no, I was a big fan of them when00:14:12
I when I I was about seven, I think,00:14:14
when the first one came out. And my00:14:16
uncle was in all the first the original00:14:18
three. Dennis Lawson, he played this00:14:19
character called Wedge. There he is,00:14:21
Dennis. I said, "Dennis, what um I think00:14:25
I'm getting close to getting this cast00:14:27
in Star Wars." And he went, "Don't do00:14:28
it. Don't do it." cuz he's he's been00:14:30
plagued with it, you know. He he did00:14:31
about a couple of weeks work on the the00:14:33
original three. No, he managed to00:14:35
survive all three of them. Oh, wow. He00:14:37
was an X-wing pilot or something. And um00:14:40
but he just said, "If you want to have a00:14:41
career after you're 30, just don't do00:14:42
it. You But he was wrong." So, you know,00:14:45
and luckily I didn't listen to him00:14:46
anyway, so it's not. What an idiot.00:14:49
Yeah. But it it must have been a weird00:14:52
thing because presumably that stage of00:14:53
your career you thought you were famous.00:14:56
Yeah. But then you did Star Wars and it00:14:59
must have moved into a whole different00:15:01
realm. I don't know. I I don't I don't00:15:04
know cuz I thought I was really really00:15:05
famous. So I didn't really make much00:15:07
difference to me.00:15:10
I was walking around just being00:15:12
famous. Are you know who I am? God, I'm00:15:16
famous. No, I suppose it did change it00:15:18
did change things, but ultimately I00:15:20
think this the film itself was the star.00:15:22
you know, Star Wars was the star of our00:15:24
ones and and whereas before I think um00:15:27
George was limited in the technology00:15:29
they had available. So the the the the00:15:31
characters became, you know, more iconic00:15:34
in a way and because he had so much more00:15:36
access to technology and the ones that00:15:37
we made that that became more of the00:15:40
star of Star Wars was the the kind of00:15:42
effects and the technology and00:15:43
everything and so I've been left kind of00:15:45
not that bothered by them really. Didn't00:15:47
you visit the Is it a Star Wars set00:15:50
museum or something in Trunisia when you00:15:51
were on one of the on one of the bike00:15:53
rides? That was one of my less famous00:15:55
moments.00:15:57
There's a set, you know, the you know,00:15:58
Uncle Owen's place in the original in00:16:00
the in the original Star Wars film,00:16:02
Uncle Owen and Aunt Peru. They live in00:16:04
this hole in the00:16:05
ground. So, that still exists. It's a00:16:08
tourist attraction for I can only assume00:16:10
really serious Star Wars fans who go to00:16:13
Tunisia to find this hole and and go00:16:16
down and look at the old props and00:16:18
stuff. It's a bit sad really. Not them,00:16:21
not the people, the place. The place00:16:23
itself. The people. Yeah.00:16:26
And uh we went we were on our on our00:16:28
motorcycle trip long way down. We we00:16:30
were going past it. So we stopped and we00:16:33
said we should go. It would be funny.00:16:34
So, we went down there and and uh I00:16:38
didn't get recognized by anybody. Not00:16:40
one not one person. I was wearing a long00:16:42
way down t-shirt with McGregor written00:16:44
on the back of all the way across my00:16:46
shoulders. Not one person recognized. I00:16:49
was found a poster of myself which I00:16:51
stood next00:16:53
to for about 2000:16:56
minutes. Nothing. Nothing. Not one00:16:59
person disappointed. And I I've heard a00:17:02
mixed report. Is it true or not that you00:17:04
you kept a lightsaber?00:17:08
I officially don't own a lightsaber.00:17:15
Props guy gave me one. No, he didn't.00:17:18
He bought some uh lightsabers. Which00:17:21
they're pretty good, aren't they? No.00:17:23
Oh, that one's on already. Hang on. Hang00:17:25
on. You have to know what you're doing00:17:26
with these. You see? You do, though. Do00:17:28
you want that? Is that the Which one00:17:29
would you like? Which one looks like00:17:30
yours? Um, the one in the middle is I00:17:32
think the one I use that's that's Alec00:17:35
Guennis's one. Oh, that's yours. Yeah.00:17:37
Yeah. Oh my god. This these are really00:17:39
nice. It's amazing. How do you turn that00:17:41
when you bang them against each other?00:17:42
Will they break? Oh, no. They won't. But00:17:45
you you make the sound effects yourself.00:17:47
Do you want Do you want one? Not at all.00:17:49
Come on. There you go. There. Go. Go.00:17:52
Go. You get a good Oh, look at that.00:17:56
What? That's fantastic. But can you make00:17:58
the noises? Oh, can I Is it true that00:18:00
you did this thing? I'm sure you've been00:18:02
asked this a thousand times. Yeah, like00:18:04
in Rocky, they did this in Rocky as well00:18:07
where they had to you would make the00:18:10
sound effects00:18:11
yourselves. So, they had to go back and00:18:13
like sound was a nightmare because it00:18:16
was a bunch of people going00:18:20
No, it wasn't to begin with. It was00:18:22
quite difficult not to make the sound.00:18:24
Yeah. And also when it goes away cuz it00:18:27
makes that nice noise when it goes down.00:18:30
Oh yes. How do you switch? Have you00:18:31
heard that in Rocky the partly like the00:18:33
in the first film particularly it's just00:18:35
loads of sound effects of Sylvester00:18:37
Stallone going.00:18:43
Okay. Let's the light the lights down.00:18:45
Let the lights down. You have to you00:18:46
have to start them up. Oh. Okay. So off.00:18:48
Off.00:18:50
How do you do that?00:18:53
Uh much there. Oh, there there. Oh,00:18:56
there you go. Sorry. Got it. Okay. So,00:18:58
when you put it on, it has to make this00:18:59
kind of noise.00:19:02
[Music]00:19:10
Oh,00:19:11
no. You're so good at it. I did. I spent00:19:13
months doing it. Mine keeps going off00:19:15
though when I twirl it. I00:19:18
could break. They'll00:19:20
break in each.00:19:23
How much are they cost? 150 quid00:19:29
each. Okay. If I you got a cricket. If I00:19:34

really good idea.00:20:10
Okay. You take your sign, too. That's a00:20:13
very good idea.00:20:16
A very good idea. I'm going to sit here00:20:17
like this the rest of the interview.00:20:20
You look like a snooker player.00:20:22
[Music]00:20:24
Listen, Chris Odow. Huge00:20:25
congratulations. Bridesmaids. It's just00:20:29
more is properly properly funny, isn't00:20:32
it? It's really really good. Yeah, it's00:20:34
a fun film. I'm really happy with it.00:20:39
You know, it is. It's brilliant cuz it's00:20:41
just like it's taken you to a whole new00:20:42
It's huge. I know. I've heard all I just00:20:44
haven't seen it. I heard all about it.00:20:45
And cuz it's your first kind of big hit00:20:48
movie. Have you been to see it? loads. I00:20:50
go every00:20:52
night because, you know, I feel like it00:20:54
this doesn't come along a lot. So, and00:20:57
it sounds silly. I've seen it 4600:21:00
times. I've seen it maybe three, four00:21:02
times during like the premieres and00:21:05
whatever. And I've enjoyed it every00:21:06
time. It's an easy film to see a lot cuz00:21:08
the night I went the audience cuz you00:21:10
know, uh it's mostly women in it and00:21:13
you're kind of the one kind of man. Um,00:21:16
every time you came on, all the women in00:21:19
the audience went,00:21:20
"Oh." At the end of every scene, we00:21:23
went, "Well, if I've said it once, I've00:21:25
said it. Women are00:21:33
dumb." What a bunch of bloody00:21:37
idiots. You know, he's a very sweet00:21:40
character and and and uh, you know, the00:21:43
main character. It's hard to come back00:21:44
from that, you know, audience. Annie,00:21:47
the main character,00:21:51
[Laughter]00:21:54
she's so lovable, you know, and00:21:56
everybody wants her to be happy so much.00:21:58
It's more about it's very obvious that00:22:01
my character can probably make her happy00:22:03
more than the other guy because do you00:22:05
know, particularly in America, do you00:22:07
get kind of women coming up to hug you00:22:08
in the street and things now? More than00:22:11
that, no. You know, there has been a lot00:22:14
of there's been a lot of that kind of00:22:15
stuff and and I'm in a very happy00:22:18
relationship. So, I'm just so happy that00:22:21
she's been so open to me being like so00:22:26
sexual. Well, no. Like, there's been a00:22:28
lot of He's the kind of character. It's00:22:30
not even like women00:22:33
father to their children rather than get00:22:37
down and naughty. But for your for your00:22:39
girlfriend, it must be really annoying00:22:41
that now all these women think you're so00:22:44
lovely. I think that she likes it. Oh,00:22:46
does she? Yeah. I think that she likes00:22:48
the idea of anybody finding me00:22:53
attractive, you know, in some way kind00:22:56
of justifies her own decision.00:23:00
She doesn't feel so alone. Yeah. I think00:23:02
maybe when we got together at the start,00:23:03
a lot of people were like, "Really?"00:23:08
And this has helped. Now listen, I'm00:23:10
sure a lot of people would like to know00:23:12
h how does this happen that Chris Odow00:23:15
in, you know, a successful Channel 400:23:18
sitcom, the IT crowd, how do you go from00:23:20
that to being in the number one film on00:23:23
the planet? I just went and auditioned00:23:26
for it to be honest.00:23:28
And luckily the director of the show or00:23:31
the director of the film was a a fan of00:23:33
the IT crowd and cuz he's a big kind of00:23:36
uh British comedy nut. So I just went00:23:39
and auditioned and I did like an hourong00:23:41
improv with with Kristen who is you know00:23:45
fantastic and kind of great to improv00:23:47
with and it's probably my one of my00:23:49
stronger areas rather than scripted00:23:51
stuff. So, I kind of uh it went really00:23:53
well and then it just kind of happened00:23:55
because back in the in the start of your00:23:57
career when you're going for parts, it00:23:59
wasn't so easy, was it?00:24:02
No. No. And like I'm a big dude now, but00:24:06
back then I was like three stone00:24:07
heavier. It wasn't, you know, I wasn't a00:24:09
very um natural00:24:13
casting for anything. And and I had come00:24:16
out of drama school. And the problem00:24:18
with coming out at the same time, you00:24:20
know, everybody comes out of drama00:24:21
school around the same time. So it's00:24:23
London is suddenly kind of scattered00:24:25
with these thousands of actors are00:24:27
coming out of drama school and the whole00:24:28
thing is I asked a guy who had just come00:24:30
out and started doing a little bit on00:24:33
bits and pieces and and asked him for00:24:35
some advice and he says, "Well, what you00:24:36
need to do is you're going to go on00:24:37
loads of general meetings and with00:24:39
casting directors and producers and all00:24:41
these just to say hi. So just make sure00:24:44
that they remember you because they're00:24:46
going to remember there's loads of00:24:47
people. So I went away from that and I00:24:50
thought,00:24:51
okay, got00:24:54
it. So I decided from there on in I was00:24:57
going to go into every meeting with a00:25:00
casting director, producer it00:25:02
was, and pretend that I had just been00:25:05
bitten by a dog.00:25:08
So I would go in I would literally be at00:25:11
the door and00:25:14
um and I would I would kind of just be00:25:17
Oh00:25:19
[ __ ] I was like, "Oh, hey. Um how's I'm00:25:23
Chris?" And they were like, "How's it00:25:24
going?" "Yeah, I'm okay. I just00:25:26
got Did you see the cocker spaniel00:25:28
dance?" There was a And I would pretend00:25:31
that I had just been bitten. And the00:25:34
stories would get more and more00:25:36
complicated and intricate like there was00:25:39
a he was holding a baby's rattle. I00:25:40
tried to pull it00:25:43
out just went00:25:45
for like and he looked so friendly and I00:25:47
just went up he just bit me and they00:25:50
would offer me plasters and stuff. I did00:25:52
this for 4 months and every meeting I00:25:55
went into until eventually I went into00:25:57
one meeting I did exact oh Jesus Christ00:25:59
I just got bitten on the [ __ ] this is oh00:26:02
and they they were like oh that's so00:26:03
weird I was like I know and they said00:26:06
because the last time you were here00:26:07
you've been00:26:15
bitten I don't know if I thought that00:26:17
there were kind of the the meeting was00:26:19
going to end and everybody in the room00:26:20
was going to go I I really like that guy00:26:22
that was bitten by a dog.00:26:25
Well, I didn't work for another year00:26:26
after that. You You have You don't have00:26:28
to. Oh, well,00:26:30
I occasionally not not so much now, but00:26:34
um meetings. Yeah, meetings. But in00:26:36
terms of icebreaking, getting you don't00:26:39
seem You seem quite gung-ho reading00:26:41
about you and things you've said in00:26:42
interviews about filming, you know,00:26:44
particularly sex scenes and stuff, you00:26:45
just kind of get on with it. Yes. Is00:26:48
that fair? That is fair. Although I I00:26:51
think they're quite00:26:52
um they're quite tricky. I I I don't00:26:55
know. I don't I don't like them very00:26:57
much. Sex scenes are are awkward. No,00:27:01
that's not it's not funny. They're very00:27:04
serious things. No, they are quite00:27:05
awkward. It's quite awkward. And it's a00:27:07
because it's a very strange and bizarre00:27:09
thing to be doing. It's not a normal00:27:11
situation to be going, "Hello, I'm Yuan00:27:14
and I'll00:27:15
be you have to and and also I'm 40 now00:27:18
and the actresses are get younger and00:27:20
younger and I get worried that they00:27:22
think you get worried that you think00:27:24
that you might be somehow taken00:27:25
advantage of that." It's all it's it's00:27:27
an awkward thing. I don't really like00:27:28
it. And also, I find that they're not00:27:30
very useful unless I made films like00:27:32
Young Adam or The Pillow Book where00:27:34
they're more about sex and and the sex00:27:36
scenes are are more about character and00:27:38
story. And that's fine. That's good. But00:27:41
um just gratuitous kind of Hollywood00:27:42
type glisteny, sweaty sex scenes are00:27:45
just a bit embarrassing to watch and to00:27:47
do. But the Christian Bale sex scene00:27:49
sounds Oh, yeah. That was fun. Was it?00:27:51
Yeah.00:27:55
No, no, I did have a sex scene with00:27:56
Christian Bale, which I I which I did to00:27:59
the best of my ability.00:28:01
Come on. It was great. But didn't you00:28:03
have to do it on a roof or something?00:28:04
We're in King's Cross. We're shooting00:28:05
this film the gold mine and there's this00:28:07
and he plays a journalist and I was00:28:09
playing a kind of Iggy Pop type rockstar00:28:11
and and we have a sexual um uh we have a00:28:14
shag on top of a rooftop in King's Cross00:28:17
and but they wanted to shoot it from the00:28:18
other another rooftop this kind of a00:28:20
wide shot. We did some close-up stuff,00:28:22
but this was a wide shot and um Todd Hen00:28:26
was the director and he and I don't00:28:27
know, we heard the kind of action, so we00:28:30
started quite00:28:31
slowly slowly with with Batman like00:28:35
that, right? And the film crew from the00:28:38
other side and then it went on and on.00:28:41
It was really going now. That's it.00:28:43
Reach around and then00:28:47
[Applause]00:28:51
And then and then I just thought I00:28:53
definit there he00:28:55
is and then and then I just thought I00:28:57
would have come by now. So I put my I00:29:00
went around to the other side of his uh00:29:02
ear for the non- camera side went I I00:29:04
think I would have come by now. And then00:29:06
when I well I I said I'm going to have a00:29:08
look and I looked over and they were00:29:10
packing up the the00:29:11
[Music]00:29:12
camera00:29:20
[Applause]00:29:26
therapy. That's Did Did anyone ever talk00:29:29
about it afterwards? Like I think they00:29:32
just was they wanted they thought it was00:29:33
a sensitive thing. They should just00:29:34
leave us to it.00:29:36
There's nothing wrong with cut. There's00:29:38
nothing wrong with that. The moment the00:29:41
moment.00:29:43
And now listen, it is nearly time for uh00:29:45
music. But before that, let's take a00:29:47
look at our our last website of the00:29:50
series. We like to look at websites.00:29:51
This is our final one. End of the00:29:53
series. Going a bit artistic on your00:29:54
ass. Yes, we are. It's called perfectly00:30:00
timedphos.com. I wonder what it's off.00:30:03
And uh what it is is it's that thing00:30:05
where uh you know with shutter speeds00:30:08
they've just amazing luck. You've just00:30:10
taken a picture at precisely the right00:30:13
moment. Okay. So this is uh I think it's00:30:16
a Virana doing an excellent00:30:18
impersonation of a kangaroo. Look at00:30:21
that.00:30:26
Put that in between his legs. Someone's00:30:28
thrown a tennis ball at us. Nuts. Yeah.00:30:33
Yeah.00:30:36
[Applause]00:30:42
This is two dashes. This is so clever.00:30:44
It's like two dashons and they're in a00:30:46
real rush right down a lane. So, here00:30:49
they go. We're coming.00:30:54
[Applause]00:31:00
[Applause]00:31:02
So cute. Uh uh finally, there's a few of00:31:06
uh people with animals at play at the00:31:08
right time. Kind of looks worse than it00:31:10
is. Uh here is this it is this it? Yeah,00:31:13
this is a lady playing frisbee. Oh god.00:31:16
Oh00:31:23
my god.00:31:28
You You think that's bad? Wait, wait,00:31:31
got a smile on her face. I know. She's00:31:32
smiling now. That's That's why it's00:31:35
perfectly timed photos. While in this00:31:39
next one, uh, apparently everyone's00:31:41
fine, by the way. Everyone's fine. No00:31:42
one got hurt in these, but check that00:31:44
out.00:31:50
[Laughter]00:31:56
It's quite looks though. Doesn't it00:31:58
slightly look like the girls just told a00:31:59
joke and the dog is00:32:03
going00:32:07
the cat? You00:32:11
say it actually looks a bit like the00:32:13
dog. Wait, I need to sneeze. I need to00:32:18
[Laughter]00:32:21
And and finally, this is just a00:32:24
brilliant encounter of someone being00:32:25
taken by surprise by an animal. Here we00:32:30
[Laughter]00:32:41
go. Very good.00:32:43
