0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.520
<v Speaker 4>There's word on the street that there might be.

0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:04.360

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 5>So pull up a chair, grab a glass of rose,

0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 5>and stay tuned. I'm Bruce Bozzi and this is my

0:01:13.280 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 5>podcast Table for two.

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.880
<v Speaker 2>If you've tuned in today, we are at the Sunset Tower.

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 2>We are having lunch at I think both of our

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 2>favorite joints. We love this place.

0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>Thank you. The rose is here, Darling cheers. This is amazing,

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>is the best.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 2>So you you know, we talked about Melody Kelly and

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 2>she's your mom and she was an opera singer and

0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 2>your maternal grandparents.

0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>So it's sounds like the art and music and.

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 3>One hundred percent I mean that the force is so

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:10.080
<v Speaker 3>unbelievably strong. On my mother's side, they were both my

0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 3>mum's parents were both opper singers at the Gaiety Theater

0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 3>in the Island Land, tiny little thirty miles long, eleven

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:20.880
<v Speaker 3>miles wide, little island between the mainland and Ireland, and

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 3>they were a big deal bit. And my mom was

0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:27.560
<v Speaker 3>this kind of maverick of choosing to leave. And she

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 3>came over when she was eighteen, you know, the only

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 3>daughter of only child brother of my grandparents. She came

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 3>over to London and went to Trinity College of Music.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 6>And was this kind of just extraordinary.

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 3>Everything that I've read about her past and talked to

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 3>her about, she was unbelievably quiet, but unbelievably talented.

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 6>And she then joined the roll of.

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.240
<v Speaker 3>Her house Coup of Garden, like literally after one little

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 3>tour she was in My Fair Lady briefly on tour

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 3>when she was like twenty and then bizarrely went from

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 3>musical theater to opera, which is quite unusual. And if

0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.920
<v Speaker 3>you think about it back in the day, you know

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 3>that was like in the early sixties.

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 6>She was suddenly this fabulous young Angene. And I find

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.800
<v Speaker 6>it so magical that she was at Covent Garden.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 3>Kind of mid to late sixties around Joan Sutherland.

0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 1>Very special time. Oh yeahredible time.

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 2>How did the realization go from having the pipes to

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:38.360
<v Speaker 2>do musical theater to sing opera because it's very different.

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, very different. And my god, she always remind me

0:03:40.560 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 6>of it. In fact, when I made my Broadway debut

0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:45.360
<v Speaker 6>in spamal Art, my dad gave me.

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.880
<v Speaker 3>My dad gave me a massive squeeze on the second

0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 3>night and went much better than last night.

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 6>And I thought, brilliant, love you, and my mom went,

0:03:56.760 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 6>oh lah.

0:03:57.360 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 3>Because the opera singers always sing slightly off their lext

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.040
<v Speaker 3>talk brother off their legs, so they don't actually speak

0:04:04.080 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 3>down here. She would always talk like that, but she's

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 3>slightly singing all the time.

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:12.200
<v Speaker 6>And she was literally like, there you go. You're finally

0:04:12.200 --> 0:04:16.279
<v Speaker 6>singing properly. Thanks parents.

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:20.680
<v Speaker 3>This is why I don't have a giant ego because

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 3>I have been dead to the ground.

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 1>But it might be where you have one of the

0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:26.680
<v Speaker 1>best senses of humor.

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:32.320
<v Speaker 2>I think there is Oh my god, that's hysterical slash brute.

0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:35.720
<v Speaker 1>It's it's like the compliment with the zame.

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:36.280
<v Speaker 6>Yes.

0:04:37.320 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I've been literally like I had already had

0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 3>a fifteen year leading lady career in the West End

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.919
<v Speaker 3>and then suddenly my mum comes out with this and

0:04:46.960 --> 0:04:50.320
<v Speaker 3>I was like, wait, are you just gently trashing everything

0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.679
<v Speaker 3>everything I've previously done.

0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:58.040
<v Speaker 1>That you have done so much here? Yeah, it's crazy.

0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.800
<v Speaker 3>It's my life blood. B really it is, yes, and

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.000
<v Speaker 3>everyone knows that. I mean I've been quite vocal about that.

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 3>I do love the screen, but theater is inos.

0:05:06.520 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's rat and the accolades.

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.919
<v Speaker 2>I mean, you've been quite acknowledged by your peers and

0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:16.239
<v Speaker 2>by you know, your of your work.

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.760
<v Speaker 1>What was did you have a favorite? Well? First of all,

0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 1>what was the first show you did in your.

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 3>Western Well, the first one that anyone would know about

0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:29.000
<v Speaker 3>more would be Androloid Webber's The Beautiful Game, which is

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.159
<v Speaker 3>about the troubles in Northern Ireland, which I'll come back to,

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:31.920
<v Speaker 3>But the.

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 6>First one that people probably don't know.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 3>Was when I was twenty two, I was in a

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.360
<v Speaker 3>thing called Saucy Jack and the Space Vixens.

0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Saucy Jack and the Space.

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 6>Victim the most amazing rock score.

0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:47.800
<v Speaker 3>It was fabulous, and I played a character called Chesty Prospects.

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 6>It was camp. I mean there was there was fetish

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:54.680
<v Speaker 6>where it was great.

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.200
<v Speaker 3>I was a fetish plastic smuggler in it, as you do,

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.640
<v Speaker 3>and so I started off doing that and then I

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.400
<v Speaker 3>I kind of graduated up to the leading woman role

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 3>who was called Jubilee Climax.

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>Jubilee.

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>I want that that could be the title of someone's

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Jubilee climax.

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:17.599
<v Speaker 6>I'm in the middle of a Jubilee climax.

0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:20.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that could be your code name. And

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:21.559
<v Speaker 1>you're checking into your hotel.

0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:23.719
<v Speaker 6>That's genius, my god.

0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 1>And then you'd have to look at the face of

0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the person.

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 3>Checking you and being like yeah, yeah, yes, say it,

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 3>come on, say it.

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 6>I dare you.

0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:46.919
<v Speaker 2>So it was it kind of I mean weeds, and

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.479
<v Speaker 2>I'm sure it wasn't like this one after the other,

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 2>just a lot of work.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Like you were like, okay, I show opened to show close.

0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I already had one. I already had one on

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 3>the way. Yeah, I was extremely blessed. Yeah, extremely best

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 3>and thankfully everything that I did in theater was a

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 3>kind of pipe dream of mine realized and nothing that

0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 3>was like I made a deal with myself very early

0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 3>on for a sce, I don't I'm not hugely ambitious.

0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 6>I'd never had this huge plan at all.

0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.320
<v Speaker 3>A very bohemian and kind of go with the flow

0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.800
<v Speaker 3>and what's meant to come to me still now does.

0:07:26.240 --> 0:07:27.680
<v Speaker 3>And there are things that I think, oh, I would

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 3>have loved to have done that, and then my brain goes,

0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 3>but it's not for you. And I work on that

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 3>basis all the time, and I did back then as well.

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:39.080
<v Speaker 3>I never wanted to do anything where I was like fifteenth, eighteenth,

0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:43.840
<v Speaker 3>twentieth Fontein and Lamais. I thought I would rather create

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 3>something that might falter, or I'd rather not do it.

0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:54.080
<v Speaker 2>Whish you were clear, that's the best I think like that, Yeah.

0:07:52.440 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 6>What was your kind of ethos? Things?

0:07:55.200 --> 0:08:00.680
<v Speaker 2>You know, I don't Unfortunately I didn't have clarity.

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I kind of was going through the motions.

0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:09.240
<v Speaker 7>Of everything, and uh, I look back, and you know,

0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 7>I'm at at that stage where I'm in my late

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.640
<v Speaker 7>fifties were like people say in midlife crisis, but hold on.

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.920
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the sort of fire that I might have had,

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.679
<v Speaker 2>even though I kind of never wanted to be in

0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:25.160
<v Speaker 2>that room.

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I went in that room. Really, I really didn't.

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 6>Did you feel obliged?

0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I felt my I mean, my parents like do what

0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.199
<v Speaker 1>you want to do. I just I was good at it.

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>And see that's the thing that Yeah.

0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 6>It came easy to you, easy both physically and.

0:09:40.480 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and so I didn't I look back going God like.

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 1>What would what would happen? Because you weren't basically in

0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.520
<v Speaker 1>your family business too, you know you were.

0:09:51.080 --> 0:09:55.319
<v Speaker 6>That's why I find it interesting. It's the it being easy, right, it's.

0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 3>In your bones, your bones, It's like, and you don't

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.200
<v Speaker 3>you almost don't have time to go hold on.

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 6>This is one hundred percent. Oh do you know what?

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.600
<v Speaker 6>I love it enough to go into it. Yeah, that's

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:07.200
<v Speaker 6>very That's what I was asking. It's very interesting.

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:15.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you feel just theater folk verse film and television film?

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:14.080
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:10:15.440 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>Like the difference, I mean, like, is your vibe different?

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.560
<v Speaker 2>You like, you know, it's such a different Meetum, you

0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 2>know you're you're with theater people experience this live, you know, Cloie,

0:10:29.520 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 2>you love theaterre Yeah, do.

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:31.920
<v Speaker 1>You know what?

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:37.200
<v Speaker 3>I was listening to M's one Emily Blues and I

0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>said something, Oh, she and I fell in love with

0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 3>each other nasively.

0:10:41.600 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 6>We're both you know, kind of London.

0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Sorry girls, she she said something very interesting that I

0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 3>hadn't actually thought about. You are in such a concentrated

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.720
<v Speaker 3>spotlight when you do like we did Full Guy together,

0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:00.920
<v Speaker 3>or like Ted last you, or you're in such a

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.040
<v Speaker 3>concentrated spotlight.

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 6>There are I feel like.

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 3>I've taken into my life, maybe one or two people

0:11:08.800 --> 0:11:13.400
<v Speaker 3>from each job. And that's not intentional, but you kind

0:11:13.400 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 3>of all fall in love with each other, but it

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:20.800
<v Speaker 3>becomes apparent quite quickly the ones that you'll check in

0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:23.800
<v Speaker 3>with always down the line.

0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 6>You know. It's a funny old thing because theater, there's.

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.560
<v Speaker 3>The obvious daily muscularity of you all have to pull

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.640
<v Speaker 3>together when the curtain goes off at seven point thirty.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 3>Everyone follow spot front of house, everyone, the orchestra, you

0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.839
<v Speaker 3>all have to be there and everything. The thing I

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.679
<v Speaker 3>love about it, everything in everyone's life has to be

0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:48.280
<v Speaker 3>put to.

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 6>One side in the wings, in the box, and you

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:52.119
<v Speaker 6>pick it up afterwards.

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.080
<v Speaker 3>You might be able to see it in someone's eyes

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:55.640
<v Speaker 3>and you give them a squeeze on stage and you're like,

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:56.880
<v Speaker 3>it's fine, it's fine, I'll come and see you.

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.000
<v Speaker 6>With the interval and you'll have a squeeze, you had

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:02.240
<v Speaker 6>a shitty day. You know, there's that, But in general,

0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:04.200
<v Speaker 6>you will leave everything to one side.

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.240
<v Speaker 3>Whereas when you're on a film set particularly, it is

0:12:08.280 --> 0:12:12.960
<v Speaker 3>a far more singular lifestyle and you have this kind

0:12:12.960 --> 0:12:15.840
<v Speaker 3>of full on immersive.

0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:18.800
<v Speaker 1>Experience and we need one.

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:21.040
<v Speaker 6>And then you leave.

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:24.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. Yeah, And even though you are kind of in

0:12:24.600 --> 0:12:28.240
<v Speaker 3>and out of each other's trailers, it's not the same

0:12:28.400 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 3>as being backstage where you basically bed in. You know,

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.600
<v Speaker 3>you're like residents along with the mice, and there's far

0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.280
<v Speaker 3>less higher army.

0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.960
<v Speaker 6>Yeah that everyone knows. You've got to handle it like

0:12:41.960 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 6>this otherwise you won't flush.

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.760
<v Speaker 3>But I love all of them. I love all of that,

0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.199
<v Speaker 3>and I do miss it. But the thing I love

0:12:49.200 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 3>about the film set is I was actually saying this

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.679
<v Speaker 3>more than ever on set with David leach m and Ryan.

0:12:56.720 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 3>At one point I said, I love that we're all

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:02.559
<v Speaker 3>feeding off each other's wat ifs, because you're given far

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:07.280
<v Speaker 3>more of a carte blanche to explore each other, and

0:13:07.720 --> 0:13:09.800
<v Speaker 3>you know, just add little bits in here in each

0:13:09.840 --> 0:13:11.920
<v Speaker 3>of your what ifs, and then you act it on camera.

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 3>So it's a lot of singular people joining together in

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:19.520
<v Speaker 3>an explosive moment, whereas theater you are all like, you

0:13:19.600 --> 0:13:21.679
<v Speaker 3>know your ropes, you know which one you're pulling, and

0:13:21.720 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 3>you all pull together for a protracted period of time,

0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:28.920
<v Speaker 3>you know. So just it's like getting on different animals

0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:31.920
<v Speaker 3>and reminding yourself how that baby works.

0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.960
<v Speaker 4>Thanks so much for joining us on Table for two.

0:13:56.559 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>Our guest, Hannah Waddingham has had an incredibly wide way acting.

0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.840
<v Speaker 8>Career, both in film and television and on stage, and

0:14:04.920 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 8>she has played so many incredible characters, from the Wicked

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:10.920
<v Speaker 8>Witch of the West to Rebecca Welton and Ted Lasso.

0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:14.280
<v Speaker 4>I'm curious how does she choose her roles.

0:14:15.120 --> 0:14:19.400
<v Speaker 3>I like characters who I have to find something to love.

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:21.120
<v Speaker 6>I used to get quite.

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.240
<v Speaker 3>Offended that people would say that Rebecca Wilton is like

0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:24.240
<v Speaker 3>the darl Vader of the thing.

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:32.120
<v Speaker 6>I was like, well, she's been massively wronged. What's your problem. Yeah, Yeah,

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:34.200
<v Speaker 6>it's interesting.

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 3>And I mean maybe it's the gentle mind of a

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.360
<v Speaker 3>serial killer, that whole thing of like, oh no, but

0:14:40.360 --> 0:14:41.800
<v Speaker 3>you've got to find the love for them and the

0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:44.720
<v Speaker 3>love for that character, like that's on you.

0:14:45.160 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, okay, because you're a person in wild Yeah.

0:14:48.200 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 6>I just signed off on something this morning which will

0:14:50.080 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 6>be exciting.

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:53.080
<v Speaker 3>It a movie that I'm doing, And I basically sat

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:55.360
<v Speaker 3>down with the director and said, I really love the

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.640
<v Speaker 3>idea of working with you and the people that you're

0:14:58.040 --> 0:15:01.680
<v Speaker 3>trying to assemble, but I I basically want to play

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:03.800
<v Speaker 3>this in the script because.

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:09.360
<v Speaker 6>It was too obvious. It was too you know, kind

0:15:09.400 --> 0:15:11.480
<v Speaker 6>of curvy.

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:16.520
<v Speaker 3>Blondie busty, and so I've said I'm in if we

0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:17.480
<v Speaker 3>can turn it on its head.

0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So you bring up something that was on my mind,

0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:27.359
<v Speaker 2>which is the objectification in like in being objectified.

0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean you're.

0:15:28.520 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 2>Very beautiful, your everything that sort of classically gets objectified

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:38.280
<v Speaker 2>and hardy. Yeah, and recently you called journalist out for

0:15:38.480 --> 0:15:40.960
<v Speaker 2>sort of and I think justifiably. So when I was

0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:43.920
<v Speaker 2>watching E whatever the hell I was watching, and I

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.200
<v Speaker 2>was like, good for you, Hannah, I'm like, like.

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey, would you would you ask a guy like you know,

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah?

0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:52.120
<v Speaker 6>And it was disappointing because I've known him for twenty years.

0:15:52.160 --> 0:15:53.600
<v Speaker 1>That's really disappointing. Really.

0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:58.720
<v Speaker 6>That's why I was so disappointed because we've always had

0:15:59.200 --> 0:16:01.440
<v Speaker 6>such a mutually.

0:16:00.960 --> 0:16:08.280
<v Speaker 3>Beneficial relationship, always respectful, and I think I supp you know,

0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:11.560
<v Speaker 3>to his credit. He emailed me afterwards and we got

0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 3>into it a bit, and I said, what on earth

0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.440
<v Speaker 3>were you thinking? Not only had I been photographed, I

0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:19.800
<v Speaker 3>was just about to host the whole of the Olivias.

0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:21.400
<v Speaker 6>And I just had to perform. What on earth are

0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.400
<v Speaker 6>you doing? You're better than that?

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:28.960
<v Speaker 3>And he just said, forgive me. I was over familiar

0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 3>for seconds, so I took it. But I did say

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:36.960
<v Speaker 3>to him, make no mistake, you cannot and must not

0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.840
<v Speaker 3>ever man or woman, speak to anybody like that ever again.

0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 3>And it wasn't kind of actually what he said. It

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:48.320
<v Speaker 3>was his mannerism. He kind of went, I.

0:16:48.320 --> 0:16:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Couldn't see that.

0:16:49.320 --> 0:16:52.160
<v Speaker 3>No nobody saw that. That is an exclusive, my friend.

0:16:52.720 --> 0:16:56.240
<v Speaker 3>But that made me go from nought to absolutely mental.

0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.680
<v Speaker 3>And I'm actually quite absolutely let you.

0:17:00.680 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Get away with them?

0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:06.960
<v Speaker 3>No, no, no, no no, And I'm nipping it in the

0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:08.640
<v Speaker 3>bug because my daughter will be watching this.

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.679
<v Speaker 6>And I can't. I can't have it. I can't have it.

0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 3>It's just And then what actually surprised me more than anything,

0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:19.800
<v Speaker 3>because I get it that he's trying to get his

0:17:19.880 --> 0:17:22.200
<v Speaker 3>shot and he forgot himself for a moment.

0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 6>What I don't understand is the amount of unbelievably acidic

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:32.000
<v Speaker 6>comments I got online.

0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:36.679
<v Speaker 3>From women, from women saying, oh you love the spotlight,

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.639
<v Speaker 3>you love it if you had a split in your skirt. No, no, no,

0:17:39.760 --> 0:17:44.280
<v Speaker 3>it was a custom made, beautiful Marquesa gown where I'd

0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:48.560
<v Speaker 3>very carefully said, let's have it mid thy and no

0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:54.200
<v Speaker 3>further up. Beautiful, diaphanous, stunning gown made me by beautiful seamstresses.

0:17:55.040 --> 0:18:00.120
<v Speaker 3>And to have people women women, Yeah, bad show man,

0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:01.480
<v Speaker 3>and I'm such a girl's girl.

0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:03.679
<v Speaker 6>That's what upset me. Yeah, I can deal with the

0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.119
<v Speaker 6>photographer me and I fine.

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 2>But that it's interesting that kind of goes in line

0:18:08.800 --> 0:18:12.800
<v Speaker 2>with when people say, and I might be stretching in

0:18:12.840 --> 0:18:14.200
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, when something.

0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Happens to somebody, you get whistle that you get it.

0:18:17.720 --> 0:18:19.399
<v Speaker 1>Oh well you deserved it because it was what you

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:19.879
<v Speaker 1>were worried.

0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or you get and that's no, no, no, no, no, yeah,

0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:25.320
<v Speaker 2>whiffs of the accused, right exactly? If I have whiffs

0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.280
<v Speaker 2>of the accused, do you have you come across that

0:18:28.320 --> 0:18:28.640
<v Speaker 2>a lot.

0:18:28.560 --> 0:18:29.119
<v Speaker 1>In your career?

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 6>No, barre not No.

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.679
<v Speaker 3>I think I am constantly told that most men are

0:18:35.720 --> 0:18:42.080
<v Speaker 3>scared of me. Why, I mean, I might, I mean

0:18:42.880 --> 0:18:45.440
<v Speaker 3>it's such a silly egg you are.

0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't get it. Are you in a relationship work now?

0:18:48.960 --> 0:18:49.240
<v Speaker 6>I'm not.

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.080
<v Speaker 1>You need to sort that out.

0:18:52.119 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 3>There's something that is a complete mystery to me. I

0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.640
<v Speaker 3>am almost perpetually single and very broed of it.

0:18:59.040 --> 0:19:00.880
<v Speaker 6>It just turn fifty and I'm not down with.

0:19:00.920 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 5>Any Yes, look at you, well, look at you.

0:19:05.480 --> 0:19:07.800
<v Speaker 6>He's being nice.

0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:12.760
<v Speaker 1>Excuse me. It was fifty. Turning fifty in any way

0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:17.160
<v Speaker 1>hard or no. I love it. I don't mind it.

0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:17.760
<v Speaker 6>I love it.

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 3>I think I've been so blessed by the arrival of

0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:25.720
<v Speaker 3>my daughter into my life, and I know so many

0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.280
<v Speaker 3>dear friends who haven't been able to have that.

0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.439
<v Speaker 6>And I've also lost, either through illness or through not

0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:33.080
<v Speaker 6>being able to.

0:19:33.040 --> 0:19:35.919
<v Speaker 3>Cope with their world anymore, a lot of people that

0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:37.040
<v Speaker 3>haven't made it to fifty.

0:19:37.280 --> 0:19:41.800
<v Speaker 6>Wow. Right, So I went away on a trip and

0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 6>took my nearest and dearest with me, and on my.

0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 3>Fiftieth birthday, I said that to all of them, you know,

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:51.920
<v Speaker 3>the little group we had, that I'm so blessed.

0:19:51.480 --> 0:19:53.720
<v Speaker 6>To have all of them.

0:19:54.480 --> 0:19:57.439
<v Speaker 3>And I did get quite sad about the people I

0:19:57.480 --> 0:20:00.480
<v Speaker 3>know who haven't made it to fifty. And you know,

0:20:00.800 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 3>especially in this industry that can be so brutal. They've

0:20:05.520 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 3>all been in this industry. I did raise a glass

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:12.000
<v Speaker 3>to them, and I didn't want to be morose on

0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:15.640
<v Speaker 3>that day. But you do kind of reflect a lot,

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.760
<v Speaker 3>don't you, around your fiftiethly So I had an amazing

0:20:19.840 --> 0:20:23.320
<v Speaker 3>day with my little girl, who turned ten five days previously,

0:20:23.960 --> 0:20:25.840
<v Speaker 3>and you know, it's just me and her.

0:20:25.960 --> 0:20:31.119
<v Speaker 6>We are a total little team. And I was totally

0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:31.480
<v Speaker 6>cool it.

0:20:31.520 --> 0:20:34.639
<v Speaker 3>I love that I'm exactly ten years sorry that I'm

0:20:34.640 --> 0:20:37.800
<v Speaker 3>exactly forty years older than her, and we'll always have

0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:39.720
<v Speaker 3>those stepping stones.

0:20:39.880 --> 0:20:40.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:43.080
<v Speaker 3>I was sitting there at the dressing table and when

0:20:43.080 --> 0:20:45.280
<v Speaker 3>I was thirty eight and literally thought, oh my.

0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.080
<v Speaker 6>God, I've forgotten to have a child.

0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:51.840
<v Speaker 3>Just suddenly, Yes, it's like my Obrey's when hello. And

0:20:51.920 --> 0:20:54.880
<v Speaker 3>it felt like, you know, like in Moontielhood. It felt

0:20:54.880 --> 0:20:57.640
<v Speaker 3>like I grabbed the last egg from underneath the door

0:20:57.720 --> 0:20:59.440
<v Speaker 3>that was coming down, like his hat.

0:21:01.280 --> 0:21:01.920
<v Speaker 6>I really didn't.

0:21:01.960 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I was like, Oh, that's that's the girl.

0:21:05.080 --> 0:21:06.399
<v Speaker 6>I really really did.

0:21:16.359 --> 0:21:20.399
<v Speaker 1>You played? Yeah, I mean you gorgeous.

0:21:21.640 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 6>Well my mom kept saying yeah, and prosthetic nose and chin.

0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.440
<v Speaker 3>My mom had always said, why do you why do

0:21:30.520 --> 0:21:32.840
<v Speaker 3>you always covered up what you look like, why can't

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:33.520
<v Speaker 3>you just be you?

0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:36.480
<v Speaker 6>And I'm like, because I don't need to be me.

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:39.960
<v Speaker 6>I'm me in life, I don't need to be me.

0:21:40.080 --> 0:21:43.240
<v Speaker 3>In my work. And she's like, but why why do

0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.359
<v Speaker 3>you Why don't you let people in my twenties and thirties,

0:21:45.520 --> 0:21:47.439
<v Speaker 3>why don't you let people see how lovely you are?

0:21:47.680 --> 0:21:51.200
<v Speaker 3>And I was like, because it's not fun. I love

0:21:51.280 --> 0:21:53.800
<v Speaker 3>the fact that I was unrecognizable in a lot of

0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:55.879
<v Speaker 3>my theater career, you know, like Into the Woods as

0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.360
<v Speaker 3>well when they made when they sent me to get

0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.159
<v Speaker 3>my prosthetic face done, I was like, I wanted to

0:22:01.240 --> 0:22:03.280
<v Speaker 3>look like my skin is feeling off, like I've got

0:22:03.400 --> 0:22:04.560
<v Speaker 3>like melted like a candle.

0:22:06.119 --> 0:22:09.000
<v Speaker 6>And with the Wizard of Oz, I.

0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.960
<v Speaker 3>Wanted to look exactly like because I was interested in

0:22:13.040 --> 0:22:15.640
<v Speaker 3>Miss Gulch more than the than the Witch.

0:22:16.160 --> 0:22:19.840
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, because she is the real person. She's the germ

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:25.760
<v Speaker 6>that Dorothy's terrified of, and the anything after that. I mean,

0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:27.280
<v Speaker 6>I know it's the majority of the she know the

0:22:27.320 --> 0:22:31.119
<v Speaker 6>majority of the film, but anything after that is Dorothy's nightmare.

0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:33.680
<v Speaker 6>It's not the real person. So I wanted to look

0:22:33.800 --> 0:22:35.800
<v Speaker 6>like Margaret Hamilton as the person.

0:22:36.800 --> 0:22:39.960
<v Speaker 3>So when I came cycling on my bike, and I

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.360
<v Speaker 3>gotten to make me a bike so that I could

0:22:41.359 --> 0:22:45.520
<v Speaker 3>have my back poker straight cycling from stage right to stage.

0:22:45.280 --> 0:22:50.280
<v Speaker 6>Left, going a little children across the front of the stage.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.240
<v Speaker 6>I wanted to look the dead spit of Margaret Hamilton.

0:22:53.359 --> 0:22:56.080
<v Speaker 6>So my prosthetics were completely.

0:22:58.720 --> 0:22:59.160
<v Speaker 3>You're right.

0:22:59.240 --> 0:23:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I never thought about it, since the Wizard of Oz

0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:05.800
<v Speaker 1>is really her dream. What is the inner life?

0:23:05.920 --> 0:23:06.080
<v Speaker 3>Now?

0:23:06.200 --> 0:23:08.159
<v Speaker 6>It has to come from the jam what has been

0:23:08.200 --> 0:23:09.919
<v Speaker 6>her wounds and looe in her.

0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:13.600
<v Speaker 3>So that goes back to the thing I say about

0:23:14.119 --> 0:23:16.760
<v Speaker 3>I love a character because of how they've been wronged.

0:23:19.480 --> 0:23:21.399
<v Speaker 6>She just doesn't want Dorothy to come in her garden

0:23:21.480 --> 0:23:26.040
<v Speaker 6>with that pesky dog, with that pesky dog, that dirty

0:23:26.119 --> 0:23:31.240
<v Speaker 6>dog out of my garden, young lady. You know that's

0:23:31.280 --> 0:23:32.000
<v Speaker 6>what it comes from.

0:23:32.520 --> 0:23:34.119
<v Speaker 3>So they even said to me, or we could have

0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:37.239
<v Speaker 3>your your understudy play miss Guild so that you can

0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:40.600
<v Speaker 3>be greening, and I was like, absolutely not, because it

0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:43.959
<v Speaker 3>has to come from Dorothy's terror of this woman who

0:23:44.080 --> 0:23:45.720
<v Speaker 3>is unyielding and unswerving.

0:23:46.680 --> 0:23:49.080
<v Speaker 6>And then that's like a scene of one minute in

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:50.040
<v Speaker 6>thirty six seconds.

0:23:50.040 --> 0:23:50.600
<v Speaker 3>I think it was.

0:23:51.600 --> 0:23:56.040
<v Speaker 2>So that whole transition then to become the transition is fast, yeah,

0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.280
<v Speaker 2>fast and furious, and especially on a two show day

0:23:58.440 --> 0:24:00.040
<v Speaker 2>when you have to get all the green off.

0:24:00.359 --> 0:24:03.000
<v Speaker 6>Right to go and play that germ of a woman

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 6>for one minute thirty six back then.

0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.959
<v Speaker 1>But you can see, you can feel, and I can

0:24:08.040 --> 0:24:09.439
<v Speaker 1>hear the importance of.

0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:16.080
<v Speaker 2>That to be in that it's all moment because without

0:24:16.320 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 2>experiencing that in the show, the other piece, you're missing that.

0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:22.160
<v Speaker 6>Yes, I get it exactly.

0:24:23.240 --> 0:24:25.159
<v Speaker 3>And I think they thought I was insane that I

0:24:25.520 --> 0:24:28.879
<v Speaker 3>that I wanted to play both parts, and they were like,

0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:31.320
<v Speaker 3>but no one's ever going to know, because there's prosthetics.

0:24:30.920 --> 0:24:34.359
<v Speaker 6>And I was like, i'll know, I'll know.

0:24:34.760 --> 0:24:36.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't care if I'm the last person to leave,

0:24:36.440 --> 0:24:38.600
<v Speaker 3>which I was every night, the last person to leave.

0:24:38.680 --> 0:24:40.600
<v Speaker 6>Running for my train. And I try and tell my

0:24:40.720 --> 0:24:43.399
<v Speaker 6>daughter this now she goes, oh, Mommy, I want to

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:43.680
<v Speaker 6>be like you.

0:24:43.760 --> 0:24:45.320
<v Speaker 3>I want to do I want to do this, and

0:24:45.320 --> 0:24:47.080
<v Speaker 3>then I want to go into screenwork and that, and

0:24:47.119 --> 0:24:50.399
<v Speaker 3>I always say, my girl, you see Mammy going on

0:24:50.760 --> 0:24:54.960
<v Speaker 3>in a strampsy Mercedes. But for twenty five years I

0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:57.200
<v Speaker 3>was on stage wondering if I'd make my last train,

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 3>and how was I going to afford.

0:24:58.280 --> 0:24:59.800
<v Speaker 6>To get back in a car if I if I'm

0:24:59.800 --> 0:25:00.720
<v Speaker 6>miss that's my last strength.

0:25:00.840 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, welcome back to Table for two.

0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.400
<v Speaker 8>Although Hannah is now part of an acclaimed television show

0:25:26.520 --> 0:25:29.240
<v Speaker 8>and is quickly becoming a fixture on the silver screen,

0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:32.720
<v Speaker 8>it all comes back to her earlier career in theater.

0:25:33.560 --> 0:25:36.280
<v Speaker 4>I'd love to know what she holds DearS from her

0:25:36.359 --> 0:25:38.679
<v Speaker 4>time on stage, just.

0:25:38.720 --> 0:25:41.879
<v Speaker 2>To sort of name, I mean, the Olivia Woard, the

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:46.359
<v Speaker 2>International Film Festival, the Sad Critics Choice, Hollywood Critics Sturres.

0:25:46.400 --> 0:25:48.760
<v Speaker 1>You know people have watched you.

0:25:48.920 --> 0:25:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I mean I'm talking it's like fifteen there's

0:25:52.040 --> 0:25:54.439
<v Speaker 2>a million nominations or wins.

0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and I not that that is what it's about.

0:25:58.320 --> 0:26:01.600
<v Speaker 1>But it's important, I think sometimes to know that you're

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:06.120
<v Speaker 1>being acknowledged for your war. Yes, from your peers and from.

0:26:07.840 --> 0:26:10.240
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, it really is. And you you can't get caught

0:26:10.320 --> 0:26:10.639
<v Speaker 6>up with that.

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:15.320
<v Speaker 3>But when you know what's gone into getting you there's

0:26:15.440 --> 0:26:20.040
<v Speaker 3>It's why I stood up and an accidentally the words

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:22.919
<v Speaker 3>that fell out of my mouth in my Amy acceptance

0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:27.119
<v Speaker 3>speech when I just said, please give theater people a chance,

0:26:27.400 --> 0:26:28.520
<v Speaker 3>because we won't let you down.

0:26:29.760 --> 0:26:32.200
<v Speaker 6>It's true even now I could get a motion about.

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:35.080
<v Speaker 3>It because being overlooked for so long, people going, oh,

0:26:35.119 --> 0:26:38.560
<v Speaker 3>but you you do this singing thing. People have no

0:26:38.720 --> 0:26:43.280
<v Speaker 3>idea that people in theater don't get into it for

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:48.240
<v Speaker 3>fame or money. They love playing characters. They love you know,

0:26:48.480 --> 0:26:50.680
<v Speaker 3>like I always say to myself, fleshing out the bag,

0:26:51.280 --> 0:26:54.320
<v Speaker 3>like every single corner, can you can you? Can you

0:26:54.600 --> 0:26:56.400
<v Speaker 3>flesh out that character anymore?

0:26:56.560 --> 0:26:56.760
<v Speaker 1>Can you?

0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:58.840
<v Speaker 3>Is there is there a bit of where where the

0:26:58.920 --> 0:27:02.359
<v Speaker 3>bag is deflating, you flesh that out with some part

0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:03.760
<v Speaker 3>of something for that character.

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.840
<v Speaker 6>Theater people do that, and I just it.

0:27:07.960 --> 0:27:10.159
<v Speaker 3>Just fell out of my face to say it in

0:27:10.240 --> 0:27:13.840
<v Speaker 3>that moment that you get more theater people must be

0:27:13.920 --> 0:27:18.000
<v Speaker 3>seen on screen because they're just so.

0:27:20.080 --> 0:27:25.159
<v Speaker 6>In love with character. And like you're saying, it's relationships

0:27:25.600 --> 0:27:30.439
<v Speaker 6>and theater people love relationships. They love just nudging anything

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:31.160
<v Speaker 6>you can eke.

0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Out of it.

0:27:32.080 --> 0:27:33.920
<v Speaker 2>So I mean it sounds like I mean, and I'm

0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:35.399
<v Speaker 2>just going to talk about it, but you have like

0:27:35.440 --> 0:27:38.240
<v Speaker 2>you're very physical in your work, and that seems like

0:27:38.320 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 2>it's something that you enjoy, like, you know, using your body.

0:27:41.880 --> 0:27:43.119
<v Speaker 6>It's no separation.

0:27:44.560 --> 0:27:47.639
<v Speaker 1>Prop and it shows you know.

0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:51.160
<v Speaker 2>And we also talked about which I love the sort

0:27:51.160 --> 0:27:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of playing the boss like villain's but it's a surprise

0:27:54.640 --> 0:27:55.200
<v Speaker 2>when did you go?

0:27:55.560 --> 0:27:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Okay, the transitions start to happen from the theater world

0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.760
<v Speaker 1>into the You know, I was a big fan of

0:28:01.840 --> 0:28:07.680
<v Speaker 1>sex education and lasso you You've done a number of

0:28:08.000 --> 0:28:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Why did that?

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:12.520
<v Speaker 6>I I kind of yeah, it wasn't a curve, to

0:28:12.600 --> 0:28:14.320
<v Speaker 6>be honest, not for me anyway.

0:28:14.560 --> 0:28:15.600
<v Speaker 5>I was.

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.480
<v Speaker 3>I the last theater show I did, I was Lily

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:21.680
<v Speaker 3>Vanessa and because we got at the Old VIC which

0:28:21.720 --> 0:28:24.040
<v Speaker 3>I loved, I love, I love it.

0:28:24.880 --> 0:28:29.199
<v Speaker 6>But I knew that I had wanted a I had

0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:33.320
<v Speaker 6>wanted to spread my wings and just dip my toe

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:37.920
<v Speaker 6>a lot earlier than I was being allowed to. Like

0:28:38.040 --> 0:28:40.920
<v Speaker 6>I say, I had that constant thing for I suppose

0:28:40.960 --> 0:28:43.720
<v Speaker 6>I did like ten years straight in theater and then

0:28:43.760 --> 0:28:47.200
<v Speaker 6>I started the toe dipping. But the dips weren't being

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 6>accepted because they.

0:28:48.560 --> 0:28:51.080
<v Speaker 3>Were like, well, you're a theater girl, and I was like, no, no, no,

0:28:51.960 --> 0:28:54.400
<v Speaker 3>I'm just I'm just an actor and a singer.

0:28:55.200 --> 0:28:56.000
<v Speaker 6>Why are you doing that?

0:28:56.760 --> 0:28:59.520
<v Speaker 3>And the worst thing was, at the time my agents

0:28:59.600 --> 0:29:02.120
<v Speaker 3>were doing and I had a meeting with them and

0:29:02.200 --> 0:29:03.840
<v Speaker 3>they went, well, but what do you want to promote

0:29:03.840 --> 0:29:05.720
<v Speaker 3>you as this or that, and I was like, what

0:29:05.800 --> 0:29:08.200
<v Speaker 3>if we're having this conversation with one hundred percent done,

0:29:09.240 --> 0:29:11.360
<v Speaker 3>don't limit me or you like that.

0:29:12.600 --> 0:29:17.360
<v Speaker 6>So I started doing bits and pieces of television, and then.

0:29:17.280 --> 0:29:18.680
<v Speaker 3>It got to the point where I was just like,

0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 3>I'm sick and tired of always feeding into someone else's narrative.

0:29:23.120 --> 0:29:25.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm sick and tired of being grateful as a theater

0:29:25.680 --> 0:29:27.680
<v Speaker 6>girl getting one scene in this and one scene in that.

0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:30.280
<v Speaker 6>I know they're going to get you to do this,

0:29:30.320 --> 0:29:31.160
<v Speaker 6>and they're going to know.

0:29:32.040 --> 0:29:34.880
<v Speaker 3>So I said, I went completely cold turkey, and I

0:29:34.960 --> 0:29:37.440
<v Speaker 3>said to my team at the time, thank you, darling.

0:29:41.880 --> 0:29:44.440
<v Speaker 6>She's so pretty that pleas of brose. Look at it

0:29:45.120 --> 0:29:50.680
<v Speaker 6>sitting there all bless you, sir, thank you lovely quick

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:53.120
<v Speaker 6>Ding quick Ding critic. Of course, I can't drink if

0:29:53.120 --> 0:29:53.800
<v Speaker 6>we haven't clams.

0:29:54.440 --> 0:29:56.200
<v Speaker 3>So I said to my dream I'm not doing these

0:29:56.280 --> 0:30:02.880
<v Speaker 3>one scenes anymore. And they at the time that set

0:30:02.920 --> 0:30:05.120
<v Speaker 3>of agents. And I'm saying this on purpose so that

0:30:05.200 --> 0:30:11.120
<v Speaker 3>anyone listening who's an actor and feels limited by their agents,

0:30:11.600 --> 0:30:14.520
<v Speaker 3>we forget that we also have a massive voice in that.

0:30:14.760 --> 0:30:15.880
<v Speaker 6>And they do work for you.

0:30:17.000 --> 0:30:19.680
<v Speaker 3>And when you find great ones like I have now.

0:30:19.800 --> 0:30:22.960
<v Speaker 3>It is a complete and utter marriage. But coming up

0:30:23.040 --> 0:30:26.640
<v Speaker 3>through the ranks too much, and I know friends that

0:30:26.720 --> 0:30:29.480
<v Speaker 3>felt the same. You feel beholden to the opinion of

0:30:29.560 --> 0:30:33.400
<v Speaker 3>your agents and just grateful for whatever you get. At

0:30:33.480 --> 0:30:36.760
<v Speaker 3>some point that has to fucking stop, you know, and

0:30:36.840 --> 0:30:38.600
<v Speaker 3>you have to know your worth. And there's nothing wrong.

0:30:38.840 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 3>This is something I've learned from coming to America. There

0:30:41.400 --> 0:30:43.560
<v Speaker 3>is a big difference between arrogance and knowing your worth.

0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:47.360
<v Speaker 3>And in Britain, I think often people aren't encouraged to

0:30:47.400 --> 0:30:51.240
<v Speaker 3>know their own worth, you know. And so I said

0:30:51.280 --> 0:30:52.920
<v Speaker 3>to them, I'm not doing those anymore. And they went, well,

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.480
<v Speaker 3>you probably won't get any screamwork them because you're not

0:30:55.480 --> 0:30:57.920
<v Speaker 3>as known. I was like, I'm not as known because

0:30:57.920 --> 0:30:59.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm not doing enough on screen. It's like chicken in

0:30:59.880 --> 0:31:02.240
<v Speaker 3>the egg. So I went cold turkey.

0:31:03.120 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>And then I.

0:31:07.000 --> 0:31:10.320
<v Speaker 3>Darren Litton, who is the writer of benadorma It Too

0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Big ITV comedy series, basically said to I TV, I

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:17.600
<v Speaker 3>want her for this part. They said, oh, she's not

0:31:17.760 --> 0:31:19.840
<v Speaker 3>known on TV, and he was like, we'll make her known.

0:31:20.040 --> 0:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:31:20.840 --> 0:31:24.800
<v Speaker 6>And I was doing theater at the time, and so

0:31:24.960 --> 0:31:25.800
<v Speaker 6>I really.

0:31:25.680 --> 0:31:28.720
<v Speaker 3>Thank him for that because it was a bit of

0:31:28.760 --> 0:31:31.240
<v Speaker 3>a calling card for me and it and it helped

0:31:31.320 --> 0:31:35.520
<v Speaker 3>me kind of hone that different muscle on screen. And

0:31:35.640 --> 0:31:38.600
<v Speaker 3>then after that, I fell pregnant with my daughter. And

0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:41.080
<v Speaker 3>the next thing, the next audition after that was a

0:31:41.120 --> 0:31:42.800
<v Speaker 3>little known sow called Game of Thrones.

0:31:42.640 --> 0:31:47.360
<v Speaker 1>And come on now, and it's so interesting. So like

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:51.000
<v Speaker 1>someone's first, I need your is to keep you in

0:31:51.040 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the box. Yeah, no, no, no, no, she's not known

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:53.640
<v Speaker 1>on TV.

0:31:53.840 --> 0:31:56.560
<v Speaker 3>So now, yeah, she's too big, she's she's too big,

0:31:56.720 --> 0:31:59.720
<v Speaker 3>she's too facial expressions, favorite expressions are hYP too big.

0:32:00.400 --> 0:32:01.720
<v Speaker 6>And I've talked about it quite a lot.

0:32:01.600 --> 0:32:06.719
<v Speaker 3>At drama school in a screenwork lesson to the teacher

0:32:07.360 --> 0:32:09.880
<v Speaker 3>who shall remain nameless, otherwise I feel like the hounds

0:32:09.920 --> 0:32:12.719
<v Speaker 3>will set upon her. Said, you see, Hannah will never

0:32:12.800 --> 0:32:15.400
<v Speaker 3>work in on screen because one side of her face

0:32:15.440 --> 0:32:16.360
<v Speaker 3>looks like she's had a stroke.

0:32:17.080 --> 0:32:20.640
<v Speaker 6>What So for years I didn't even audition for anything.

0:32:20.800 --> 0:32:25.240
<v Speaker 2>That's horrible and me and not it's just horrible and

0:32:26.480 --> 0:32:29.600
<v Speaker 2>nasal effect from yeah, well that could start a young

0:32:29.720 --> 0:32:30.600
<v Speaker 2>person or anybody.

0:32:30.640 --> 0:32:30.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:32:30.800 --> 0:32:34.040
<v Speaker 6>I didn't order for anything on screen for several years. Wow,

0:32:34.680 --> 0:32:36.880
<v Speaker 6>she says, drinking a large gold pat.

0:32:38.800 --> 0:32:44.200
<v Speaker 1>It's just devastating, Like that's devastating.

0:32:44.400 --> 0:32:46.600
<v Speaker 6>And also sucute.

0:32:47.720 --> 0:33:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Guess who's having the last last? We're all work more

0:33:02.880 --> 0:33:06.680
<v Speaker 1>than did you realize? Oh, I'm in the m I'm

0:33:06.760 --> 0:33:07.360
<v Speaker 1>in the room.

0:33:12.560 --> 0:33:17.880
<v Speaker 6>Because I love the fact that the character is almost mute,

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:19.760
<v Speaker 6>and even.

0:33:19.640 --> 0:33:23.720
<v Speaker 3>When you do speak, it's almost non stella. And I

0:33:23.800 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 3>fed off that and in my head I just went

0:33:27.480 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 3>you wept because this is a tiny, tiny part, but

0:33:33.760 --> 0:33:36.480
<v Speaker 3>I've got this and I loved it.

0:33:37.320 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 6>I love that part. I love the fact that.

0:33:40.240 --> 0:33:46.440
<v Speaker 9>I'm scrubbed, no finery, no juicy, lovely golden beauty lamps,

0:33:48.000 --> 0:33:51.320
<v Speaker 9>stripped bear, and I honestly.

0:33:52.680 --> 0:33:55.560
<v Speaker 6>I wish I could have made that longer because.

0:33:57.280 --> 0:34:02.120
<v Speaker 3>It's so different from who I am, how rhythms and

0:34:03.160 --> 0:34:06.920
<v Speaker 3>vibrations so different from me. And I loved it and

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:12.840
<v Speaker 3>I'm crave playing something like that again. Completely stripped back, pause,

0:34:13.080 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 3>every pore of you on show.

0:34:16.000 --> 0:34:16.680
<v Speaker 1>That's amazing.

0:34:16.840 --> 0:34:19.520
<v Speaker 6>So I have no vanity on screen at all, It's

0:34:19.560 --> 0:34:22.239
<v Speaker 6>amazing if it requires it. Obviously, we all want.

0:34:22.160 --> 0:34:25.560
<v Speaker 3>To look nice, and as you get older, you're like

0:34:25.719 --> 0:34:28.480
<v Speaker 3>you're going up to the DP and you're like, give

0:34:28.560 --> 0:34:29.320
<v Speaker 3>it lives.

0:34:30.280 --> 0:34:34.400
<v Speaker 6>But if it's a part that requires it. I was like, no, no, no,

0:34:34.719 --> 0:34:35.399
<v Speaker 6>do more.

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:37.640
<v Speaker 3>Put the light above my head so that you see

0:34:37.719 --> 0:34:40.239
<v Speaker 3>every single bag I've got, because she's been you know,

0:34:40.600 --> 0:34:42.040
<v Speaker 3>flagellating in the cell.

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:46.840
<v Speaker 6>And secretly fancies the high Sparrow.

0:34:48.080 --> 0:34:50.600
<v Speaker 1>That's wild and then of course on last so you're

0:34:52.320 --> 0:34:54.160
<v Speaker 1>glamor she is.

0:34:55.000 --> 0:34:58.520
<v Speaker 3>But I used to love the bits like I had

0:34:58.760 --> 0:35:01.040
<v Speaker 3>quite a if you won't my me saying my hair

0:35:01.080 --> 0:35:04.520
<v Speaker 3>and makeup on is from the ante Lasso. There's a

0:35:04.560 --> 0:35:07.839
<v Speaker 3>bit when I'm lying in bed with Tahim's character Sam Abusanye,

0:35:08.600 --> 0:35:10.680
<v Speaker 3>and I was like, no, it's they're waking up together.

0:35:10.719 --> 0:35:13.600
<v Speaker 6>I don't want any makeup on in real life. Well no, no, no,

0:35:13.680 --> 0:35:13.960
<v Speaker 6>you need to.

0:35:14.160 --> 0:35:15.560
<v Speaker 3>It needs to be like the no makeup makeup And

0:35:15.600 --> 0:35:18.200
<v Speaker 3>I was like, no, I don't know. I don't want anything.

0:35:18.360 --> 0:35:19.719
<v Speaker 3>And it kind of went up to the powers that be.

0:35:19.760 --> 0:35:21.160
<v Speaker 3>They were like, hand I the one to wear any

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:24.279
<v Speaker 3>magar because I want her to be approachable and I

0:35:24.320 --> 0:35:26.880
<v Speaker 3>want her to be somebody that I know that everyone

0:35:27.000 --> 0:35:27.520
<v Speaker 3>was rooting for.

0:35:27.560 --> 0:35:31.239
<v Speaker 6>Rebecca Wilton and I take up very seriously, and I thought,

0:35:31.320 --> 0:35:33.480
<v Speaker 6>I just want everyone to see her. It's like I said,

0:35:33.560 --> 0:35:34.920
<v Speaker 6>like pause, and all walks in all.

0:35:35.760 --> 0:35:38.239
<v Speaker 3>And that's why I like every character, because your vulnerability

0:35:38.360 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 3>is so close to your greater strength.

0:35:39.840 --> 0:35:42.200
<v Speaker 2>And I'll tell you, when you do see that, people

0:35:42.280 --> 0:35:45.920
<v Speaker 2>wake up in bed and the lammed out. You as

0:35:46.000 --> 0:35:49.120
<v Speaker 2>an audience, you will switch out to switch off. You're like,

0:35:49.760 --> 0:35:50.719
<v Speaker 2>you't wave stuff like that.

0:35:51.640 --> 0:35:55.239
<v Speaker 3>It's something so much more sexy hot about the fact

0:35:55.239 --> 0:35:58.920
<v Speaker 3>that she's clearly like, wait, I had a great night, right.

0:35:58.960 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 6>You know it's not it's and I love that I'm

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.520
<v Speaker 6>like that And that does come from theater as well,

0:36:06.680 --> 0:36:06.960
<v Speaker 6>do you.

0:36:07.800 --> 0:36:11.720
<v Speaker 1>So, what were your thoughts going into well, the last season,

0:36:11.960 --> 0:36:14.239
<v Speaker 1>because maybe there'll be a season four. It's sort of

0:36:14.280 --> 0:36:18.680
<v Speaker 1>being rumor that there's a season for all. I don't know.

0:36:18.840 --> 0:36:23.320
<v Speaker 1>You keep drinking Rose Tony, we need the bottle.

0:36:25.760 --> 0:36:29.960
<v Speaker 6>I don't know. All I do know is that Rebecca

0:36:30.000 --> 0:36:32.160
<v Speaker 6>Welton has gone nowhere out of my heart.

0:36:33.040 --> 0:36:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Well, let me tell you that was so that last

0:36:36.800 --> 0:36:40.440
<v Speaker 1>moment with you and the last show was very emotional.

0:36:40.680 --> 0:36:44.399
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then when you look down and you see

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:47.160
<v Speaker 2>the little girl and you look up, it's all about love.

0:36:47.600 --> 0:36:49.080
<v Speaker 1>All of a sudden you realize, oh, this show is

0:36:49.080 --> 0:36:53.200
<v Speaker 1>about love, It's about connection. It's about the guys discovering each.

0:36:53.080 --> 0:36:57.359
<v Speaker 6>Other, about seeing each other. Everyone's see see each other's phone.

0:36:57.560 --> 0:37:01.200
<v Speaker 6>It's really when you look up at the hot touch,

0:37:02.960 --> 0:37:04.640
<v Speaker 6>I mean hello, thank you?

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I know. I mean I'm like, oh, so distracted,

0:37:11.719 --> 0:37:13.040
<v Speaker 1>this is going to happen.

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:18.520
<v Speaker 6>How you can tell him read hot? That's so hard,

0:37:18.600 --> 0:37:20.400
<v Speaker 6>I mean sprung, so.

0:37:21.920 --> 0:37:22.439
<v Speaker 1>I've read.

0:37:23.080 --> 0:37:24.759
<v Speaker 6>I love that. You just made yourself.

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:31.839
<v Speaker 1>A little girl handing up. I know, I know him

0:37:32.120 --> 0:37:34.759
<v Speaker 1>is like great, do you.

0:37:36.280 --> 0:37:40.920
<v Speaker 2>So this is potentially contingent on the American actors like that,

0:37:41.160 --> 0:37:43.719
<v Speaker 2>the British actors, the contracts.

0:37:43.200 --> 0:37:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Like there's a possibility that could be a four.

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:50.080
<v Speaker 6>Think it's a possibility. I've been reading in the press

0:37:50.080 --> 0:37:50.840
<v Speaker 6>as much as anyone.

0:37:51.000 --> 0:37:55.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, John, I mean, life is short, Ted last.

0:37:55.840 --> 0:37:59.239
<v Speaker 6>People who knows. All I know is that writer's read

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:05.200
<v Speaker 6>were a writer's room of champions, magnificent.

0:38:04.480 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 1>Writers could.

0:38:07.200 --> 0:38:10.719
<v Speaker 6>And it spoils you for all other work because.

0:38:10.520 --> 0:38:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Now, and I'm really glad about it. Actually now, unless

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:20.919
<v Speaker 3>unless I receive a script that pushes and pulls me as.

0:38:20.880 --> 0:38:22.000
<v Speaker 6>Much as Ted did.

0:38:22.120 --> 0:38:25.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you could be in one scene and almost

0:38:25.120 --> 0:38:27.560
<v Speaker 3>with one sentence full of people's heart strings and then

0:38:27.960 --> 0:38:29.840
<v Speaker 3>had them laughing, like smack them around the face with

0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:30.200
<v Speaker 3>a gag.

0:38:31.440 --> 0:38:32.600
<v Speaker 6>And I've never known anything like it.

0:38:33.360 --> 0:38:36.240
<v Speaker 3>And the beauty of that writer's room was it was full,

0:38:36.600 --> 0:38:40.560
<v Speaker 3>jam packed full of the male feminists interesting and you

0:38:40.640 --> 0:38:42.640
<v Speaker 3>can see it in the writing all over the place

0:38:42.680 --> 0:38:44.520
<v Speaker 3>and the people that they pulled together.

0:38:45.360 --> 0:38:46.759
<v Speaker 6>If you think about it, myself.

0:38:46.480 --> 0:38:49.880
<v Speaker 3>And Juno as the main female players in it, we

0:38:50.080 --> 0:38:54.759
<v Speaker 3>never once felt dominated by all our men folk. It

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:57.480
<v Speaker 3>was the most beautiful.

0:38:57.719 --> 0:38:59.040
<v Speaker 6>Five years of my work in life.

0:39:00.160 --> 0:39:07.960
<v Speaker 2>Really see that with the chure, their voice, their strange Yeah, five.

0:39:07.880 --> 0:39:12.239
<v Speaker 6>Years total and utter never ended.

0:39:12.400 --> 0:39:12.680
<v Speaker 4>Bliss.

0:39:24.480 --> 0:39:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Do you know what I why I always have the

0:39:26.120 --> 0:39:28.560
<v Speaker 3>dream I have in this in this hotel. They know

0:39:28.640 --> 0:39:31.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm like a homing pigeon for my same suite because

0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:34.839
<v Speaker 3>it's where Oh my god, my brain's just farted. That's

0:39:34.840 --> 0:39:36.200
<v Speaker 3>the rose Iggy.

0:39:38.719 --> 0:39:41.440
<v Speaker 6>How can I forget his name? He tried several times

0:39:41.520 --> 0:39:44.520
<v Speaker 6>to leap out of the window when he was stone

0:39:44.520 --> 0:39:47.480
<v Speaker 6>out of his mind and the ambulments had to be called.

0:39:47.960 --> 0:39:54.879
<v Speaker 1>And it's a total sexy rack.

0:39:55.680 --> 0:39:57.319
<v Speaker 6>Yeah, he tried to dive into the floor.

0:39:58.719 --> 0:39:59.960
<v Speaker 1>He wanted to dive into this try.

0:40:00.040 --> 0:40:01.440
<v Speaker 6>It was trying to that. It was like like you know,

0:40:01.800 --> 0:40:03.640
<v Speaker 6>because it was a little bit in a mind altered state.

0:40:04.400 --> 0:40:07.160
<v Speaker 6>He was just trying out and they had to call that, Yeah,

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:07.920
<v Speaker 6>what is.

0:40:07.960 --> 0:40:12.000
<v Speaker 1>A movie that influenced you? Or actress?

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:13.160
<v Speaker 6>Or Carol Burnett?

0:40:14.560 --> 0:40:18.160
<v Speaker 3>Annie, And I've been quite vocal about it because last

0:40:18.520 --> 0:40:23.520
<v Speaker 3>last Emmy's I met her and literally my legs went

0:40:24.800 --> 0:40:26.720
<v Speaker 3>and it was amazing because as she kind of scooped

0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:29.800
<v Speaker 3>me up on the floor, she told me she was

0:40:29.920 --> 0:40:32.480
<v Speaker 3>a fan of my work, and I just thought, what

0:40:32.800 --> 0:40:39.040
<v Speaker 3>the hell? So the triumvirate of Carol Burnett, Bernadette Peters

0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:44.319
<v Speaker 3>and Tim Curry doing Easy Street, that magnificent number, which

0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:47.239
<v Speaker 3>I heard later from Tim they ended up choreographing and

0:40:47.360 --> 0:40:49.360
<v Speaker 3>directing themselves really, which.

0:40:49.280 --> 0:40:53.680
<v Speaker 6>Adds to it for me knowing that from him. Two

0:40:53.760 --> 0:40:56.040
<v Speaker 6>have you know, worked with Tim Curri and spam a

0:40:56.040 --> 0:40:59.080
<v Speaker 6>lot to have had that with Carol. And then I

0:40:59.239 --> 0:40:59.920
<v Speaker 6>tried to get.

0:41:00.040 --> 0:41:02.040
<v Speaker 3>And Adebt to sing with me on my Chroyston special

0:41:02.040 --> 0:41:03.360
<v Speaker 3>and she couldn't make it, but she sent me the

0:41:03.400 --> 0:41:05.920
<v Speaker 3>most beautiful email saying we need to we need to

0:41:06.440 --> 0:41:10.359
<v Speaker 3>circle back to each other, those three people who'd had

0:41:10.480 --> 0:41:14.759
<v Speaker 3>such a massive effect on me, that whole thing of

0:41:14.960 --> 0:41:18.680
<v Speaker 3>like doing everything like you said about being muscular and

0:41:18.800 --> 0:41:21.800
<v Speaker 3>using your body. I never see any divide, even in

0:41:21.880 --> 0:41:22.359
<v Speaker 3>the Fall Guy.

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:23.719
<v Speaker 6>If they had said this is not gonna be.

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:26.120
<v Speaker 3>A musical number, I can find a way to get

0:41:26.160 --> 0:41:29.120
<v Speaker 3>through to that and back and even ted, you know,

0:41:29.320 --> 0:41:32.279
<v Speaker 3>because there is so much music in life all the

0:41:32.360 --> 0:41:33.319
<v Speaker 3>time anyway.

0:41:33.640 --> 0:41:38.560
<v Speaker 6>And rhythm and all of it. So I've never really understood.

0:41:38.120 --> 0:41:39.800
<v Speaker 3>The whole thing of oh it's just a play, or

0:41:39.920 --> 0:41:42.480
<v Speaker 3>oh it's a film without music, or oh it's a musical,

0:41:42.640 --> 0:41:43.799
<v Speaker 3>or I don't I feel like.

0:41:43.880 --> 0:41:45.680
<v Speaker 6>It should all bleed in and you should just have

0:41:45.840 --> 0:41:46.680
<v Speaker 6>the tools ready.

0:42:00.520 --> 0:42:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Mission and Bossable, it's coming our way, sir. What's so?

0:42:05.600 --> 0:42:08.160
<v Speaker 6>I went out in Australia, in the middle of street

0:42:08.200 --> 0:42:08.640
<v Speaker 6>in Corway.

0:42:09.560 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 3>I got a phone call from my agent saying, are

0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:18.200
<v Speaker 3>you okay with literally coming home to London and packing

0:42:18.239 --> 0:42:21.560
<v Speaker 3>the case and getting on a flight to be a mission?

0:42:22.239 --> 0:42:25.839
<v Speaker 6>And I went, what's mission? Thinking it was a movie

0:42:25.920 --> 0:42:28.839
<v Speaker 6>or a TV series called Mission? And he went, knows

0:42:28.920 --> 0:42:33.719
<v Speaker 6>Mission impossible? And I of course went and he said, no,

0:42:33.760 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 6>we'd like to set up a call with you and

0:42:35.320 --> 0:42:35.959
<v Speaker 6>Christmas Quarry.

0:42:36.800 --> 0:42:40.160
<v Speaker 3>Now, you know, people hear me talk wax lyrical about

0:42:41.080 --> 0:42:44.320
<v Speaker 3>the kind thoughtful soul that is Tom Cruise.

0:42:45.040 --> 0:42:46.800
<v Speaker 6>Let me talk about Christmas Quarry.

0:42:47.640 --> 0:42:52.240
<v Speaker 3>That man wrote the usual suspects of people, the greatest

0:42:52.320 --> 0:42:56.239
<v Speaker 3>twists great. So he and I got on a zoom

0:42:56.520 --> 0:42:59.279
<v Speaker 3>and I think Chris realized very quickly that I'm a

0:42:59.360 --> 0:43:03.400
<v Speaker 3>total geek, Like you're a hot weirdo, I'm an absolute geek.

0:43:04.400 --> 0:43:07.920
<v Speaker 6>I'm a geek. And then some so I turn up.

0:43:08.560 --> 0:43:12.640
<v Speaker 3>I meet him and Tom on the runway in Bari

0:43:12.960 --> 0:43:14.960
<v Speaker 3>getting onto an osprey.

0:43:14.880 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 6>To be taken.

0:43:15.680 --> 0:43:19.200
<v Speaker 3>We could only have like all of us, including Miss

0:43:19.280 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 3>t all of us had to have like the bare

0:43:22.160 --> 0:43:25.360
<v Speaker 3>minimum stuff because of us and a skeleton crew.

0:43:25.200 --> 0:43:26.400
<v Speaker 6>Were going onto the George W.

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Bush Fighter camera being allowed on for five days with

0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:35.120
<v Speaker 3>four and a half thousand serving naval men and women

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.920
<v Speaker 3>on the ship working us getting in their way, and

0:43:39.880 --> 0:43:42.360
<v Speaker 3>day and night, I was up on the deck with

0:43:42.560 --> 0:43:46.040
<v Speaker 3>my high vis jacket and my defenders on my hard hat,

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:50.120
<v Speaker 3>filming all of the FA teens taking off and landing

0:43:50.719 --> 0:43:52.360
<v Speaker 3>day and night, to the point where I think I

0:43:52.400 --> 0:43:54.120
<v Speaker 3>probably I feel like I had like four hours sleep

0:43:54.200 --> 0:43:57.640
<v Speaker 3>for five days just and Chris was just like, we

0:43:57.760 --> 0:43:59.520
<v Speaker 3>had no idea, You're such a geek.

0:44:00.000 --> 0:44:01.600
<v Speaker 6>I was so heavily into it.

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:04.759
<v Speaker 3>I don't think I'm allowed to say what I play,

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:07.440
<v Speaker 3>but anyone that knows me will think it's hilarious.

0:44:07.760 --> 0:44:09.600
<v Speaker 6>When I played, because she's really high.

0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Powered and importance, and if I was actually playing that

0:44:14.440 --> 0:44:17.000
<v Speaker 3>part in real life, they'd be absolutely chaos.

0:44:18.680 --> 0:44:20.560
<v Speaker 1>The Christmas the movie.

0:44:20.840 --> 0:44:23.160
<v Speaker 6>No, I think we will do. I think we're doing

0:44:23.200 --> 0:44:25.000
<v Speaker 6>the press junket. I'm going to try and be kind

0:44:25.000 --> 0:44:26.239
<v Speaker 6>of the press junket in May.

0:44:27.680 --> 0:44:31.640
<v Speaker 1>I think so. Yeah, I think that the road the

0:44:31.880 --> 0:44:36.279
<v Speaker 1>next chapter, it was a big chapter. I find it's
