Past simple

I mean, it was, you know, it was like a dream for me growing up with lock, stock and snatch.

Part of the kind of UK culture, the time and it was it was a dream come true.

It's and it's, you know, it's It's been a long time since he's made a film with in that vein on dso For it to come round on for me to be be a part of it for us to be a part of it.

It's kind of, you know, the stars aligned as such.

And I think a lot of this movie, really even you coming on board was so last minute and everything just aligned to make it Hopefully a classic.

Yeah, tell me about you coming on board last minute. 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:0.590  Yeah, it was It was very last minute for you. 00:01:0.590 --> 00:01:9.340  know a few reasons, but it was It was about three days, and I got a cool to go and meet guy his house. 00:01:9.340 --> 00:01:11.840  And, um, we had a child.

And then he gave me the script and and that was there.

This happened three days before you guys started filming.

Yeah, but you learn very quickly on guys films that you it's it's very changes all the time.

So you know that those three days I've barely slept thinking I've got to be so on this island, you know, get it is perfect a CZ I can.

And then, you know, you come onto set and he's like, Oh, would you know?

Let's let's change it and let's do something else.

So a lot of ad libbing and sort of riffing about the times that true Well, it's more get less ad libbing, but it's rewriting me, right?

We just really lights it. 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:3.110  Yeah, and once you sort of let go of that kind of fear of like, Oh, God, I don't know my lines. 00:02:3.540 --> 00:02:6.430  It's actually really fun to sort of do it in the moment. 00:02:6.430 --> 00:02:18.420  And sometimes he's right there, camera listening and then going actually say it like this or he's adjusting it all the time as he goes along, because I think it it It happens in the moment for him.

Once he hears it and sees a sol in character, he suddenly gets you know, these great ideas and they are always better than then.

We'll put the funny things for me was like the constant changes in new words that you guys used for marijuana.

I like I can't even count how many terms you guys have had to do.

Brainstorm have like a little brainstorming session about how you're gonna describe that.

A lot of the ones that I said when I was showing Jeremy Strong's Gola White they are that they came up with those in the moment camera still rolling around.

And then I was like, Call it this and I was like What? 00:02:56.180 --> 00:03:6.100  And then in you know it is he's not shy to perform the word exactly how we want Thio, and it's actually quite a while. 00:03:6.100 --> 00:03:11.170  The cameras rolling and again most of his ideas are very good.

It's also okay, that's that is gonna be good.

One of the cool things that I like to is there so many people in this film that had totally different characters and what you would have expected you for sure.

I mean, you're usually like this cool, charming, cute guy, like not that cute, but it's not charm me polar opposite.

It was lovely to step on a set and release a few see bombs and F bombs whilst being sort of filming a PG at the same time.

Because those I was with poor feet during last Christmas in London.

And so yeah, it's it's I found it to be very therapeutic on dhe.

There are a couple of takes where sort of screaming in this fella's face and guys like cop enjoy that too much things like tha tha That's pretty cool.

I mean, like your suits, Top notch and Michelle, Your outfits were phenomenal.

Do you get to take any of the outfits home?

No more red carpets to get the jump seat.

What was your favorite memory of being on set?

Some of the ad libbing for sure What that was that was a whole new I have a one of you and it was again.

It was kind of something that came up with. 00:04:52.280 --> 00:05:5.010  And it's where yourself in Charlie stood over me in a certain scene, shouting profanities, waving a weapon in my face on dhe. 00:05:5.020 --> 00:05:7.740  Just do distinctly remember just thinking.

And then, you know, you get get back straight to you Have those moments of I think that's the magic of filmmaking.

You get yourself in very sort of strange and wonderful situations, and sometimes it's nice to step back and think, Yeah, Henry, I've gotta ask because crazy rotations was so great.

And yet there's definitely work happening.

I think we'll we'll know, especially when it comes to a sequel.

Um, coming up with something that is equally as good or a successful brings a lot of kind of pressure. 00:06:0.390 --> 00:06:11.770  And so I think the script writers have been locked in a dungeon for the past two or three months trying to figure out how to adapt these these second and third books and something's in the works.

We're usually the last to know, as actors waiting, sitting on the edge of our seats waiting for you to know I was asking you this earlier of Matthew about you guys setting your parents up.

This is this Word is I have run every must you there and asking everybody's talking about.

Has he had a 91 year old farmer who's single way will be rendezvousing with days.

Now you guys sort of supportive of each other.

Do you watch each other's movies? 00:06:55.000 --> 00:07:8.790  Any downtown Abbey fans here, massive every movie e haven't seen crazy rich Asians.

I wasted most of Matthew's Yeah, all of them.
