  • So with this film, it's obviously a huge epic. What for you personally was the biggest challenge

  • you had to overcome?

  • Um...

  • My uh...

  • Overcome...

  • Well, my lack of any talent. I had to overcome that, but I got it with sleeping with the

  • (whistles)

  • How do you think I got my job?

  • I didn't want to say. I didn't want to presume. But we all got there the same way.

  • Everyone here has pretty much slept with Peter Jackson.

  • Yes. Yes.

  • Uh, yes. That it was mainly fueled by cocaine, yeah. Mainly, not only, but mainly fueled

  • by cocaine. Not all of it was obviously. The rest of it was speed balls, but a lot of it

  • was just coke.

  • Okay, and finally with that in mind, if you had this pile of wealth behind you and it

  • was all yours, what would you Martin Freeman spend it on?

  • I already have got that. Did you see my garage? Yeah, that's mine.

So with this film, it's obviously a huge epic. What for you personally was the biggest challenge
