And also, you know, 175 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 3: it'd be great to work with all among the mates again, 176 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 3: you know, and we really did have a great time, 177 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 3: so yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, yeah. 178 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: Well, I mean you got to figure out, if you 179 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: do it, where to fit it in because you've you've 180 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: had lots going on. I mean, you play these these 181 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: really vulnerable men in such a brilliant way, and it's 182 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 1: not easy to do. It's not easy to kind of 183 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: straddle the line between you know, playing that authentically and 184 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 1: playing a caricature of that, and you do it really, 185 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 1: really in a grounded way, which I think is part 186 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 1: of your brilliance as as an artist and as a performer. 187 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: And we see it in my Oxford Year, which was 188 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: a huge hit. You and Sophia brought these characters to 189 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: life in such a beautiful way. You played someone that 190 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: was I imagine a difficult role. I mean, he's he's kind 191 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: of terminal diagnosis of cancer and you had to step 192 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: into those shoes, right, So what is it about playing 193 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 1: these more kind of vulnerable men that attracts you to 194 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 1: want to take that on? 195 00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: Yeah? 196 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 3: I mean, well, first of all, thank you because you 197 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 3: said lots and lots of very lovely things there. But 198 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: I guess in terms of in terms of the characters 199 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 3: being attractive to me, I think I think what's what's 200 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 3: interesting about about both both George and and Jamie. 201 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: Is that. 202 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 3: Yes, they're vulnerable, and they and they have access to 203 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 3: that vulnerability, but they also have a front. Jamie's is 204 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 3: much more sarcastic, whereas whereas George's is much more like 205 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: presenting as if there's no problem at all, which is 206 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: also what Jamie does, but in a very different way, 207 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: I guess, and I think that is the thing that 208 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 3: as an actor is very exciting, because you you have 209 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 3: to play these two truths at once, you know, and 210 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 3: your balancingness this three dimensional character, and you get to 211 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 3: decide when to show. I mean, it's it's a dialogue 212 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,640 Speaker 3: with the director, of course, but you get to decide 213 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,000 Speaker 3: when to show cracks and when to break and when 214 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 3: when you know when when to do all of those things, 215 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 3: and all of those things in the inner of themselves, 216 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: they don't come naturally to me. I think I find 217 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: it quite a challenge to connect to those things. I'm 218 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 3: not an actor who can cry on command with no reason. 219 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 3: You know, I really have to do the work and 220 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: feel what the person is feeling in order for it 221 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 3: to affects me. You know, it has to actually affect 222 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: me in order for it to I just yeah, because 223 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: I've watched people work before, and they can they can 224 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: just you know, they don't even have to necessarily be 225 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 3: feeling that much, and they're just suddenly they're they're in tears. 226 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 3: And I'm definitely not one of those people. So it 227 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,199 Speaker 3: is I guess. Also the challenge of that is is 228 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 3: is also alluring, I find Yeah. 229 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like you have to really put in that 230 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: work to get to those places. Yeah, yeah, imagine that 231 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: is appealing, and there's and there is a lot of 232 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 1: work that goes into it, right and and emotionally emotionally 233 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: draining sometimes I imagine for. 234 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 3: Sure, man, Yeah, yeah, I think I found I found 235 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: George much more emotionally draining than I found Jamie. I 236 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 3: think that I think what he's dealing with in a 237 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 3: way is slightly more complex as an actor to to 238 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 3: try and. 239 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 4: Paint all the colors of and Jamie. 240 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 3: Jamie also is a lot more similar to me, and 241 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 3: so I think I found him more immediately accessible. 242 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 4: I think we. 243 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: Protect ourselves in the same way with humor and goofiness 244 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 3: and you know, sarcasm and all of those things, which 245 00:11:54,440 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 3: isn't necessarily in George's toolbox. But but yeah, yeah, it's 246 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 3: definitely challenged. 247 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, and the chemistry you and Sofia have is just 248 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 1: so spot on in that movie as well, and you 249 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: talk about how you guys just had instinct chemistry and connection. 250 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: I mean, what are things you do to form that? 251 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 2: Are you? 252 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 1: Are you like, let's go to coffee, let's tell each 253 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: other our secrets from childhood? 254 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 2: How do you get there? 255 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean I don't know. 256 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: I think what's really interesting is that there is no 257 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 3: right answer because and testament to that is is the 258 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: fact that me and Sophia both have different opinions on 259 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 3: what chemistry is and how how you get there. 260 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,680 Speaker 4: You know, Sophia very much believes. 261 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 3: That it is a it's just intangible ethereal. 262 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:43,959 Speaker 4: You either have, what are you don't. 263 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 3: It is to do with the two people and their 264 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 3: connection in a working environment, obviously, but there's just there's 265 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 3: just something magic that either happens or doesn't happen that 266 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 3: is greater than some of the parts of the two people. 267 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: Whereas I am very much in the camp that is, 268 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 3: it's all preparation and making sure that you've done your 269 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 3: work on the character and being incredibly specific about what 270 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 3: it is that that character finds attractive in the other character, 271 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 3: what it is that that that character lacks that the 272 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: other one fills in the void for what is the 273 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: subconscious Druele, What is the conscious Druel? What is the 274 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 3: you know all of those things, and how does that 275 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 3: change from this scene to this scene so that you're 276 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 3: not just playing the same the same thing, and so 277 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 3: you're really analyzing the relationship over time, And that's that's 278 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 3: that's my approach anyway, And I'm sure I think, as 279 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 3: in most things, the real answer lies somewhere in between 280 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: the two things. But obviously, I mean, you said the 281 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 3: thing about getting coffee. I think the closer and more 282 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 3: comfortable that you can be with someone, the better, the 283 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:53,040 Speaker 3: better the work, whether you're playing lovers or enemies, you know, 284 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 3: I think I think it's I think it's vital to 285 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: feel talking about vulnerability, to feel like you can and as. 286 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 4: A performer, be vulnerable. 287 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,959 Speaker 3: You can you can fail, you can be ridiculous, you 288 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: can try something out landish and it not work and 289 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 3: you look in any other circumstances humiliated. But because you're 290 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 3: with that person, you feel fine and safe. And so 291 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 3: that is also a very very valuable part of it. 292 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: And sometimes that's magic. Sometimes it's preparation, and sometimes it 293 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: is just getting a coffee and chatting about something completely 294 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 3: different and just getting used to each other. 295 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 1: And I love seeing, you know, through some of the 296 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: interviews I watched during your press tour, you guys hype 297 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: each other up. 298 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 2: You're fun together. 299 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: You have this really kind of silly at times relationship 300 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: with one another. And I love when she's like, you know, Corey, 301 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: you can sing, and you're like, I don't sing, and 302 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: she's like, no, you can sing. 303 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 2: And then of course the whole tangle. 304 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 1: Thing is everywhere right now for it, So I mean 305 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 1: she says you sing, you say you don't sing words 306 00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: the truth and that. 307 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 3: Where is the truth in that? I think again, like 308 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 3: I said, somewhere, I think the reason that I deny 309 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 3: it when I hear Sophia say you can sing is 310 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 3: because it's Sofia saying you can sing. It's the it's 311 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 3: the it's the like you know, multi billion streams Sofia 312 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 3: Carson saying I can sing. 313 00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 4: And I just want people. 314 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 3: To know that that that isn't what my singing level is, 315 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 3: you know, So you know when she says that, she's 316 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 3: not saying you can sing like I can sing. But 317 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 3: I am I am, I am quite I am quite musical. 318 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 3: My mother is a is a is a classical musician, 319 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 3: and I've grown up around music, so I I I 320 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 3: feel like I have quite a musical vocabulary. I work 321 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 3: very closely with music when I'm building a character and 322 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: and on set as well, to try and get into 323 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 3: the headspace of a certain scene.

And often often often the answer is is fear, 368 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 3: you know? And I think in my work, in my 369 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,160 Speaker 3: personal life, in my work, I definitely lead from fear. 370 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 4: But I do try to live my life leading from 371 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 4: from love. 372 00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 3: And I do feel I feel very loved in my life, 373 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,040 Speaker 3: and I try and make the people in my life 374 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 3: feel very loved. And I you know, I really I 375 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600 Speaker 3: don't underestimate the power of the power of love. But 376 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,719 Speaker 3: I mean that sounds so ridiculous to say, But I 377 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 3: do think. I think I think it's I think it's 378 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 3: a superpower. I think I think it can you know, 379 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 3: it's transformative and a yeah, I think it's I think 380 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 3: it's the most powerful thing that someone can do, really 381 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 3: is to is to is to love someone. 382 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 4: And I, you know, knowing. 383 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 3: The importance of that, of believing in the importance of that, 384 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 3: I do try and I try and live my life 385 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 3: by that. It's obviously it's not it's not it's not 386 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 3: perfect or it's not easy all the time, you know, 387 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 3: because sometimes you get busy, or you you're worried about 388 00:18:59,880 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 3: so and things or you know whatever. I think you 389 00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 3: generally have to be quite in a healthy place to 390 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 3: lead from love. But yeah, it's something that I definitely 391 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 3: that I definitely strive towards. And I guess the same 392 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 3: thing goes for romance. 393 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: M Yeah, that's a beautiful thing. I think it's. 394 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 1: It's a crazy world we live in, so if we 395 00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 1: can all strive for that and and try to focus 396 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 1: more on that, it's important. 397 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 2: It's important, for sure.

And I think that it's really 476 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 1: cool to your point to see you in something totally different. 477 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, it's it's it's really cool. And 478 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,920 Speaker 3: also it's not that I'm involved in it, but there's 479 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 3: a lot of action actually in it, as what you know, 480 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 3: and it's yeah, it's a complete departure from from from 481 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 3: everything that I've done before, you know, towards the end, 482 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 3: we do see we do see in Matteno that is 483 00:23:56,240 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 3: that is quite wrecked by emotional damage basically. But so 484 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: I'm just thinking now that there are quite a few 485 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: parallels to other characters, but he is he is very different. 486 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: And the style of you know, the way that we 487 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 3: shot it and and the style of the show itself 488 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: is is very different and it demands a different thing 489 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 3: from me as an actor, and it's it was. 490 00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 4: It was amazing. 491 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 3: And also working with these absolute juggernhauts of actors. You 492 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:30,719 Speaker 3: know that it's a really star studded cast of people 493 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 3: that I have respected for a very long time, and 494 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 3: they spent a long time chewing their ears off about 495 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: what they do and trying to learn as much as 496 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 3: possible in the short. 497 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 4: Time that I had with them. It's a pleasure. 498 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you're you're building up quite a diverse, you know, 499 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: body of work, which is really cool. And oh you 500 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: know what's so funny, man, I see all the time, 501 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 1: I would say at least once a week easily, a 502 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: little tweet or something floating around that people would love 503 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,359 Speaker 1: for you to play eventually Tom Cruise in a biopic. 504 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 3: I've actually seen this as well, and I would love to. 505 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 3: I mean, I think that would have been an incredibly 506 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:17,680 Speaker 3: exciting biopic because it well for the actor who plays 507 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: Tom anyway, because I mean, Tom is someone who's done 508 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,439 Speaker 3: all of his stunts, so it would almost like be 509 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 3: doing the biopick of a stunt man. And yet you 510 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,679 Speaker 3: also get to play Tom Cruise and you know, you 511 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: know it would be it would be amazing. I also 512 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:35,679 Speaker 3: feel like it's you know, his his career is you know, 513 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 3: booming even now, but throughout my life I feel so 514 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 3: you know, I feel more connected with him than I do, necessarily, 515 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 3: say Elton John or Queen, even though I absolutely adore 516 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 3: both of them. It would be so strange and surreal 517 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 3: to to do that, I imagine, because it's things that 518 00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: I feel are almost still active and and their energy 519 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 3: is still here. You know, it would be it would 520 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:08,439 Speaker 3: be very strange. But I have seen those those those 521 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 3: messages tweet. I guess and I do. I think it's 522 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,119 Speaker 3: I think it's our teeth, That's what I think. To 523 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 3: put it plainly, m M yeah. I mean people think 524 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 3: you you kind of resemble him. So if he called 525 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 3: you up and was like, yo, Corey, like you're the man, 526 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:24,640 Speaker 3: you were the guy to play it, you'd sign up. 527 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 3: I'd sign up immediately after I got over the you know, 528 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:31,639 Speaker 3: the shock slash excitement of the fact that Tom Cruise 529 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:37,080 Speaker 3: was calling me, Yeah, I'd be there, and. 530 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: And that you probably have to like jump off some 531 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: insane cliff or something. 532 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:40,720 Speaker 2: But the parachute and. 533 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 3: I'd be terrified, but I'd absolutely love to do it. 534 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,240 Speaker 3: I would love to do it. Yeah, I think he's 535 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 3: I think I think what he's done. What he's done 536 00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,680 Speaker 3: in terms of you know, being able to focus Paul 537 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,840 Speaker 3: and camera up at the same time, as as sort 538 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 3: of like objectively directing the shot at the same time 539 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 3: as skydiving, or you know, whatever it is that he's 540 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 3: whate a ridiculous human feat he's doing and also shooting himself, 541 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 3: you know, in a way, you know, you know, h 542 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 3: is phenomenal and I'm not sure really if there's anyone 543 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 3: else in the world that could do it m which 544 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 3: which not many people can say. 545 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: Cory, you're someone who has who has accomplished so much, 546 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 1: seemingly in a short amount of time. But I know 547 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: for you, you've been putting in the work, you've studied, you 548 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: you know, you went to university all of it. But 549 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 1: you've been doing such incredible things. Is there something that 550 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: you know throughout all this chaos and quick moving life 551 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,120 Speaker 1: that you've lived so far, is there something you've really 552 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,119 Speaker 1: learned about yourself in the last couple of years. Wow, Uh, 553 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:56,360 Speaker 1: I think I've become much more acquainted with my own. 554 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 4: Resilience. 555 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: I would say, I, you know, I think it's one 556 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 3: thing dedicating yourself to your craft when that's all that 557 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 3: there is, you know, when you when everything's fine, you 558 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 3: know whatever. I would say, it's another thing when you 559 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 3: actively have to disengage your ego from I'm talking specifically, 560 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 3: I guess about working pre and post Queen Charlotte. I 561 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 3: think that before that I was I was just as 562 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,000 Speaker 3: dedicated as I am now, but there was less distraction, 563 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 3: Whereas now I feel like I have much more of 564 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 3: a public life, and I spend much more of mental 565 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 3: energy protecting my private life but also paying homage and 566 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,160 Speaker 3: service to my public life. And I also recognize that 567 00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 3: there are people that I don't want to say are fans, 568 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 3: but like you know, people that follow my career and 569 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 3: I want I want to you know, on honor that 570 00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: I don't want to engage. 571 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 4: With it completely or fully. 572 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: There are just lots of different balancing acts going on 573 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: that are there to distract you from when you actually 574 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 3: do do the work much more than before, and it 575 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 3: takes a lot more energy to do the same amount 576 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 3: of work than it did two years ago, three years ago. 577 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 3: I think, and and and it's still it's still something 578 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 3: that I'm that I'm that I'm striving towards, because I 579 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,520 Speaker 3: also don't want to remain stagnant in that work. I 580 00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,640 Speaker 3: want to grow, you know, And so I think the 581 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:35,840 Speaker 3: resilience of having to spin more plates at the same time, 582 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,480 Speaker 3: stay afloat, manage sleep, you know, something as simple as that. 583 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 4: You know I'm busier. It's yeah, but they're all. 584 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 3: Amazing things, and also balancing the ability to go, hey, 585 00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 3: I know that I'm anxious, I know that I'm stressed. 586 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 3: I know that this, this, this, this, this, I know 587 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,600 Speaker 3: that this is new to me, this is new to me. 588 00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 3: This makes me feel overwhelmed, but also just go, I 589 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:02,680 Speaker 3: am so lucky and I'm so grateful, And how amazing 590 00:30:02,800 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: is it that I get to work and they're all 591 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 3: thoughts in your brain? And they're all thoughts that I 592 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: didn't necessarily have as loud before. They weren't they weren't 593 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,320 Speaker 3: they weren't the sounds that are as loud in my 594 00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 3: brain now as they went before. Yeah, yeah, I guess 595 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: I guess resilience. Yeah, in that way, maybe resilience isn't 596 00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 3: the right word, but I can't find something that fits 597 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,160 Speaker 3: better in my mind at the moment. 598 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 2: So no, I think that makes sense. 599 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,120 Speaker 1: I think you've probably realized and learned you're capable of 600 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: doing a lot more imbalancing a lot more than you thought, right, 601 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 1: And to your point where all works in progress, and 602 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: it's just yeah, we are learning how to how to 603 00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: juggle at all, right, Yeah, yeah. 604 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 4: Exactly, Yeah, it's yeah, it's yeah. 605 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 3: And the only way to do that is to go 606 00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 3: through it, you know, to to you know, you can't 607 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: you know, to my point earlier about preparation to do 608 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,640 Speaker 3: with chemistry, at some point, you've got to do what 609 00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 3: Sopea believes in, which is just you know, dive in 610 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 3: and it'side the magic or it's not. 611 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,960 Speaker 4: And then you grow up, you know, you adapt. Yeah, yeah, 612 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,479 Speaker 4: for sure. 613 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, I'm with you on that.

You know, I moved quite 647 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 3: a bit in the same area orbit, but I moved 648 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:05,880 Speaker 3: quite a bit. I have been to stay school, I've 649 00:33:05,920 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 3: been to private school. And the reasons for those things 650 00:33:10,040 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 3: quite complicated, but I've I've been, you know, my parents 651 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:21,080 Speaker 3: were together. They're not together, I think, you know, And 652 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,160 Speaker 3: I think it's such a big part of who I am. 653 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 3: Having spent two weeks with my dad, ident two weeks 654 00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 3: with my mum too, you know, and hopping between and 655 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 3: then also hopping between my friendship groups and hopping between 656 00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:38,960 Speaker 3: the different like social classes I guess of London, you know, 657 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 3: with the different schools, and it's something that i've really 658 00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:49,200 Speaker 3: you know, never really understood, never known, you know, sort 659 00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,600 Speaker 3: of like pitied myself over, you know a little bit, 660 00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 3: and sometimes as a result, you know, failed to identify 661 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,479 Speaker 3: myself or felt like I didn't have a one strong, 662 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 3: one sentence, one block color identity. And and actually I 663 00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 3: think it's it's it's the reason that I am not 664 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 3: an amazing actor, but it's the reason that I can act. 665 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,920 Speaker 4: I think, you know, people. 666 00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 3: Talk about code switching and and and being adaptable. I 667 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,080 Speaker 3: think I've just I'm very I'm very grateful for this 668 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 3: thing that I struggled with for a very long time. 669 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 4: And and and. 670 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:35,839 Speaker 3: I feel like I owe my career in a way 671 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,080 Speaker 3: to that, because it's also it's almost like I spent 672 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:44,720 Speaker 3: years practicing how to shine a spotlight on this element 673 00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 3: of my personality, and then shine a spotlight on this 674 00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,680 Speaker 3: element of my personality and hold that in that bit 675 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 3: while I go off for two weeks and do this, 676 00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:53,360 Speaker 3: and and I learned about this and this is really 677 00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,080 Speaker 3: weird and I've never been around these people before. But wow, okay, 678 00:34:56,120 --> 00:35:00,319 Speaker 3: so people don't talk with this accent, but you know whatever. Also, 679 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 3: my parents are from up North. My whole family is 680 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,400 Speaker 3: up north, but I've lived my whole life in London. 681 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,880 Speaker 3: And the identity like crisis with that, I guess, you know, 682 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 3: lots of lots of different things that I've worried myself 683 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 3: over for years, And actually I think, you know, they 684 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 3: are they are the thing that I am that I 685 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,560 Speaker 3: owe my career to in a way, and I owe 686 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 3: the little acting ability that I have to and possibly 687 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 3: the reason that I am so curious in acting and 688 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,600 Speaker 3: wanted to do it, and you know, I wanted to 689 00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,600 Speaker 3: dive into this character for a short period of time 690 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 3: and dive into this character for a short period of 691 00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,600 Speaker 3: time and learned something about myself in the process, because 692 00:35:41,640 --> 00:35:43,400 Speaker 3: I guess it's something that I've been subconsciously doing for 693 00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:45,799 Speaker 3: a very long time, and it's nice to be able 694 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:47,239 Speaker 3: to put that thing that I struggled with for a 695 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:49,240 Speaker 3: while into an applicable skill. 696 00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:54,320 Speaker 4: So I don't know whether that's too. 697 00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,560 Speaker 3: Not deep, because it's not necessarily that deep or even interesting, 698 00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 3: but I guess it's it's done, not something I've ever 699 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 3: said publicly before, and and something that I feel a 700 00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:12,920 Speaker 3: feeling relatively comfortable sharing, and especially in the spirit of 701 00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,000 Speaker 3: being grateful for the things that can also make you 702 00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 3: anxious or give you struggle or you know, whatever that 703 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 3: there are. There are there are two sides to it, 704 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 3: and everything has a has an upside and a gift 705 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,600 Speaker 3: and something that you can be in the words of 706 00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 3: my mum, be curious about you know, when you're dealing 707 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 3: with something that's really difficult, be curious about it. What 708 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:34,320 Speaker 3: is it that's difficult about it? Why is it difficult, 709 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:38,080 Speaker 3: and maybe within there and there's something, there's something. 710 00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 4: Glorious, you know. 711 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,319 Speaker 1: M I actually love that answer, and I think it's 712 00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: really cool you share that, So thank you, because a 713 00:36:44,360 --> 00:36:47,120 Speaker 1: lot of people listening go through things in their childhood 714 00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,800 Speaker 1: or younger years that they at the time hate and 715 00:36:49,840 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: they would want to change, and they think it's like 716 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,959 Speaker 1: you know, for you know, fear of being a little 717 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,279 Speaker 1: dramatic like ruining their life at the time.

It 721 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that maybe some emotions, you know, still don't 722 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:15,320 Speaker 1: creep up from that time and there's moments understandness or whatever. 723 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: But it also when it brings you to where you 724 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,000 Speaker 1: are today.
