(Zawe and Theo laugh)

I'm trying to draw your back line.

- Just so you don't think I am.

- Excuse me, this is not a Botticelli moment.

Well, it can be, I mean, how late does this go out?

Oh, hello.

I'm Zawe and I play Julia Thistlewaite

in Mr. Malcolm's List and yeah,

you might be calling me Picasso by the end of this.

I don't know.

We'll see what happens.

- I'm Theo.

I play Henry Ossory and yeah, let's do this.

I'm Freida and I'm trying to really focus

on my beautiful man next to me.

And I play Selina Dalton in Mr. Malcolm's List.

- Hi, I'm the beautiful man next to Freida.

My name is Sope Dirisu and I play Jeremy Malcolm

on Mr. Malcolm's List.

- And we are going to play portrait mode.

- We have 10 minutes to draw each other fully clothed

and we can't wait to show you at the end.

(upbeat music)

- My drawing skills are absolutely nonexistent.

So I'm choosing to focus on like one part

of this wonderful face.

And if that looks at like the face,

I'll count that as a success.

- Zawe you just backed yourself,

you said that you are actually quite good at this.

- Yeah, I started doing art in the lockdown.

- Oh.

- And you know, I kind of back myself.

I like the abstract impressionists,

so, you know,

I feel like this will be open to interpretation.

- I'm terrible.

I can barely write, let alone draw, so.

- That's like one line.

In all this time, you just did one line.

- Yeah. Hey, art takes time.

- Okay. I gave you a forehead.

- No, no, no.

- I think my, the favorite thing

about playing Julia was, to be honest,

to be one of this incredible ensemble that we have.

It was so fun

and she is someone who makes a lot of mistakes

and social gaffs and it was just very nice

to bounce off everyone.

- I think I was surprised at how much fun we had.

Like, I know it's a comedy,

but it was such a highlight to be on set

with all these fabulous people at the same time

and finding out just how hilarious Theo James is.

(Theo laughs)

- People don't know that about you, Theo.

I spent a lot of time yesterday, outing you as a comedian.

- Same here, Theo.

I was, I literally kept saying that over and over.

I mean like, you know, you've seen Theo's work,

but then in a scene with Theo,

if you manage to kind of even get through the scene

without laughing every two minutes,

then you were lucky, but, well,

we had such a blast with all your improv

and thank you so much for that.

- Yeah. The dinner part,

I feel like the dinner party scene

when we were all together,

I think for one of the first times,

was the moment that I realized that

everyone had these very sneaky comedy skills

that were gonna make it very, very hard

to do an entire film with a straight face.

But I think we managed it.

- I think it was such a blessing.

And I wasn't expecting to make a new family

with my new friends, making our new film.

- What about you, Theo?

- I would second that.

I think, you know, the twinkle in all of our eyes,

both in reality and you know, existentially,

was very important.

And I keep looking at Zawe, your breasts here.

I'm trying draw your back line.

(Zawe and Theo laugh)

Just so you don't think I am.

- Excuse me, this is not a Botticelli moment.

Well, it can be, I mean, how late does this go out?

- Well about three and a half years ago,

I dated some idiots,

and there were some very toxic relationships.

And then I realized I wanted none of it.

And so I actually made a list,

and the person who advised me to make that list

actually said, if you really want to make a list,

you have to be sincere.

So make sure you write,

even the things that you think might seem shallow,

just put them down.

One of the things on my list was that

I needed to be with someone

or have someone to call my partner who respected my culture

and who was curious enough to wanna learn more

about my culture.

And I would do the same return obviously,

and then would want to raise my child in both our cultures.

And that's exactly what's happened.

Another thing on my list was I was looking for someone

who was up for an adventure and low and behold,

I ended up marrying an adventure photographer

and my third one was shallow.

I'm sorry, but I just, it just had to be someone

who just was so good looking in my eyes,

that made my heart flutter every time.

- Mine, I had one stipulation,

which was she had to be able to bench press 150 pounds.

(Zawe and Theo laugh)

- I like that Theo!

- Oh my God, these guys are for real.

What the hell?

- Yeah, okay. She really did go impressionist.

- I wanted to make it edgy.

I kind of wanted you to be quite New York hipster in this.

- I like it. I like it.

Can we see your guy?

- Mine's more a stamp.

- Wow.

- That's cool, I like it.

- Mine has a little,

- Like a cartoon.

- Yeah. I focus way more on her hair.

She has really lovely hair.

- I would.

- You don't need to be kind.

- Well, I think I'm gonna give it seven for effort

and maybe four,

- Four for realism.

- For just liking it. Yeah.

- Okay. Because you hate it.

- 10 out of 10 because it was done with love.

- Yes. Thank you very much.

And 10 out of 10 too.
