4
00:00:21,924 --> 00:00:24,004
Speaker 1: a good time when Jack Whitehall is on the show,

5
00:00:24,323 --> 00:00:26,204
Speaker 1: and there were used to seeing him on stage doing

6
00:00:26,324 --> 00:00:28,724
Speaker 1: stand up or galivanding around the world with his father,

7
00:00:29,164 --> 00:00:31,324
Speaker 1: but he's taken a bit of a pivot starring in

8
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:35,324
Speaker 1: a thriller series called Malice about a multi millionaire who

9
00:00:35,403 --> 00:00:41,244
Speaker 1: hires a sinister nanny played by Jack. Hello. Jack, Hello,

10
00:00:42,004 --> 00:00:45,723
Speaker 1: So you sinister nanny like mister Sheffield?

11
00:00:46,804 --> 00:00:48,324
Speaker 2: Pretty she was sinister?

12
00:00:48,844 --> 00:00:51,284
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's a bit of a departure for me.

13
00:00:51,484 --> 00:00:56,444
Speaker 3: And yeah, very very different kind of pace to doing

14
00:00:56,444 --> 00:00:57,684
Speaker 3: the shows with my dad.

15
00:00:57,484 --> 00:00:58,044
Speaker 2: That's for sure.

16
00:00:58,484 --> 00:01:01,044
Speaker 1: And when you're filming and traveling with your dad or

17
00:01:01,044 --> 00:01:03,284
Speaker 1: doing stand up, you're your own boss to a certain extent,

18
00:01:03,324 --> 00:01:06,524
Speaker 1: but you're a cog in a very particular kind of

19
00:01:06,563 --> 00:01:08,324
Speaker 1: a wheel. How different did that feel?

20
00:01:08,924 --> 00:01:09,084
Speaker 2: Yeah?

21
00:01:09,084 --> 00:01:12,164
Speaker 3: I mean, I love, I love the opportunity to, you know,

22
00:01:12,924 --> 00:01:16,044
Speaker 3: jump into acting roles like this because you are sort

23
00:01:16,084 --> 00:01:18,884
Speaker 3: of part of an ensemble and it's great, you know,

24
00:01:19,203 --> 00:01:23,364
Speaker 3: being in that creative process and working with other actors

25
00:01:23,404 --> 00:01:26,524
Speaker 3: and directors and writers and like stand up can be

26
00:01:26,684 --> 00:01:30,164
Speaker 3: very solitary and quite lonely at times when you're on

27
00:01:30,244 --> 00:01:33,684
Speaker 3: tour and your own and you know, working with my dad,

28
00:01:34,004 --> 00:01:36,284
Speaker 3: I don't know, the most professional thing in the world.

29
00:01:36,324 --> 00:01:38,084
Speaker 3: So yeah, it was nice to be on a set

30
00:01:38,124 --> 00:01:40,164
Speaker 3: with like a load of grown.

31
00:01:39,964 --> 00:01:43,444
Speaker 2: Ups and his as you've gone from your dad to

32
00:01:43,564 --> 00:01:44,404
Speaker 2: David d'covney.

33
00:01:44,604 --> 00:01:50,204
Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, yeah, I think that was That was great

34
00:01:50,244 --> 00:01:53,044
Speaker 3: working with David d'govney. He's, you know, a legend and

35
00:01:53,044 --> 00:01:55,564
Speaker 3: obviously I grew up watching him in The X Files

36
00:01:55,564 --> 00:01:58,804
Speaker 3: and califor Monication and all of these shows, and he's

37
00:01:58,844 --> 00:02:03,684
Speaker 3: a really interesting and charming guy who I had like

38
00:02:03,804 --> 00:02:06,324
Speaker 3: a really good natural chemistry with. But then we sort

39
00:02:06,364 --> 00:02:08,484
Speaker 3: of had to strip it all away because We're playing

40
00:02:08,483 --> 00:02:10,923
Speaker 3: adverse in this show and I'm meant to hate his guts,

41
00:02:10,924 --> 00:02:14,364
Speaker 3: which is quite challenging because he's just so effortlessly charming.

42
00:02:14,964 --> 00:02:15,763
Speaker 1: How annoying for you?

43
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:16,524
Speaker 2: That would be hard?

44
00:02:16,644 --> 00:02:19,124
Speaker 1: Yes, well that's what acting is, but still it would

45
00:02:19,163 --> 00:02:24,043
Speaker 1: be hard. I'm sure Jack's mastered the art of acting.

46
00:02:25,603 --> 00:02:26,284
Speaker 2: Juries out.

47
00:02:28,004 --> 00:02:30,004
Speaker 1: Your daughter is two years old. Have you picked up

48
00:02:30,004 --> 00:02:31,923
Speaker 1: some tips on what you don't want in a nanny.

49
00:02:33,163 --> 00:02:35,524
Speaker 3: Well, I was actually hiring for nanny whilst we were

50
00:02:35,564 --> 00:02:37,244
Speaker 3: doing this because I was filming a lot and yeah,

51
00:02:37,324 --> 00:02:39,684
Speaker 3: Elsie was one at the time, so we needed a

52
00:02:39,724 --> 00:02:41,683
Speaker 3: little bit of extra help. And I feel so sorry

53
00:02:41,684 --> 00:02:45,043
Speaker 3: for these poor nannies that we interviewed because the interviewing

54
00:02:45,124 --> 00:02:48,124
Speaker 3: process was so thorough and I was asking questions like

55
00:02:48,204 --> 00:02:50,444
Speaker 3: I was vetting them to work in the CIA, and

56
00:02:51,043 --> 00:02:53,924
Speaker 3: asking them about their relationships with their parents and what

57
00:02:53,923 --> 00:02:56,444
Speaker 3: they're like around animals, and bringing out the raw shack

58
00:02:56,524 --> 00:02:59,203
Speaker 3: test and yeah, these these poor girls.

59
00:02:59,004 --> 00:03:00,323
Speaker 2: Like rabbits and their headlights.

60
00:03:00,603 --> 00:03:03,204
Speaker 3: I was not knowing why I was digging in so deep,

61
00:03:03,244 --> 00:03:05,284
Speaker 3: but it's because the material that I was working with

62
00:03:05,324 --> 00:03:08,284
Speaker 3: every day was just so alarming.

63
00:03:09,124 --> 00:03:11,084
Speaker 2: It's quite hard to switch off. And you don't want

64
00:03:11,244 --> 00:03:13,764
Speaker 2: so many shows with around a nanny anymore.

65
00:03:13,803 --> 00:03:15,284
Speaker 3: You know, when we were growing up, you had the

66
00:03:15,324 --> 00:03:17,844
Speaker 3: Brady Bunch, you had Alice and then we the Boss.

67
00:03:17,884 --> 00:03:18,603
Speaker 2: Who's the boss?

68
00:03:18,603 --> 00:03:22,683
Speaker 1: You had Friend Dresher, mister Sheffield and anny genre.

69
00:03:22,524 --> 00:03:24,044
Speaker 2: Is back, Yeah, I think so.

70
00:03:24,163 --> 00:03:26,124
Speaker 3: I think also, you know, it's a bit of that

71
00:03:26,284 --> 00:03:29,244
Speaker 3: like coockoo in the nest thing that people like, you know,

72
00:03:29,404 --> 00:03:33,364
Speaker 3: hand that Rocks the Cradle and Talented mister Ripley and

73
00:03:33,404 --> 00:03:37,004
Speaker 3: then yeah, it's the sort of the nanny angle. But

74
00:03:37,044 --> 00:03:39,604
Speaker 3: also I think there's a little bit of that like eat.

75
00:03:39,404 --> 00:03:41,364
Speaker 2: The rich thing going on as well with our show.

76
00:03:41,604 --> 00:03:45,484
Speaker 3: People quite like watching these you know, really wealthy families

77
00:03:45,484 --> 00:03:49,924
Speaker 3: in their gilded cages on these you know, lavish holidays

78
00:03:49,964 --> 00:03:51,284
Speaker 3: having their lives ruined.

79
00:03:51,324 --> 00:03:52,644
Speaker 2: I think it's quite cathartic.

80
00:03:54,444 --> 00:03:57,324
Speaker 1: Well, the shows described as a Talented Mister Ripley meets

81
00:03:57,363 --> 00:03:59,844
Speaker 1: White Lotus. Did you get to go to somewhere gorgeous?

82
00:04:00,964 --> 00:04:01,364
Speaker 2: We did.

83
00:04:01,484 --> 00:04:04,244
Speaker 3: We filmed it all in Greece on this island called Paros,

84
00:04:04,284 --> 00:04:07,324
Speaker 3: which was amazing, and I was there for yeah, a

85
00:04:07,363 --> 00:04:09,364
Speaker 3: month and a half at the beginning of the summer.

86
00:04:10,324 --> 00:04:13,364
Speaker 3: And I've honestly never had more set visits in my life,

87
00:04:13,484 --> 00:04:15,924
Speaker 3: like the amount of agents that came to visit me.

88
00:04:15,964 --> 00:04:19,324
Speaker 3: And it's like you normally cannot drag them to set,

89
00:04:19,404 --> 00:04:21,203
Speaker 3: kicking and screaming to buy you lunch.

90
00:04:21,564 --> 00:04:23,363
Speaker 2: But on this one they were all.

91
00:04:23,044 --> 00:04:26,884
Speaker 3: Coming out of the woodwork, the agents, the publicists, My

92
00:04:27,004 --> 00:04:30,644
Speaker 3: accountant came on her on zoom and all of a

93
00:04:30,684 --> 00:04:31,604
Speaker 3: sudden she was there.

94
00:04:34,844 --> 00:04:36,684
Speaker 2: We could have done this on zoom. What about your

95
00:04:36,764 --> 00:04:40,484
Speaker 2: dad did you show up? Of course he was there

96
00:04:40,564 --> 00:04:45,164
Speaker 2: as well, everyone watching the socks in the sink.

97
00:04:46,564 --> 00:04:49,884
Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly, and then sort of giving me really withering

98
00:04:49,964 --> 00:04:52,124
Speaker 3: critique on my Yes.

99
00:04:53,524 --> 00:04:56,123
Speaker 2: Oh Jack, It's always great to talk to you. Malice

100
00:04:56,204 --> 00:04:57,684
Speaker 2: is out now on Prime Video.

00:04:57,764 --> 00:04:59,844
Speaker 1: This has been called the show to binge as we

102
