00:00 Oh wow, just everything. It meant everything. How are you feeling?
00:05 I feel great. Do you know what? It always surprises me that people come out and wait
00:11 outside, so it's cool.
00:14 Are you used to the screams?
00:16 Not used to the screams. I don't think I'll ever get used to the screams. I always feel
00:19 like I'm in trouble when people are screaming, so I have to reframe that in my own head.
00:23 People shouting your name out. Oh my god.
00:25 Yeah, exactly.
00:26 How do you feel in this film, knowing that your family and friends are going to see it?
00:29 Do you feel quite vulnerable about that?
00:30 I feel proud. The films that I make, you make for the people that you love. As much as you
00:36 want an audience to come to it, which I do, the opinions that matter to me are the opinions
00:41 of the people that I love. So there's a couple of them in tonight, like my mum and my brother
00:45 are here tonight, and my agents.
00:47 Your brother?
00:48 Yeah, yeah.
00:49 Oh, he's the cool brother, isn't he?
00:50 He's the cool boy, yeah, yeah.
00:51 Talking of love, are you best friends? Is there bromance here?
00:55 It's more than a bromance. Bromance is a weird word because I don't think we're either bro-y.
00:59 It's just a great friendship that I've been very privileged to have formed over the last
01:04 two years now, yeah.
01:06 And Billy Elliot.
01:07 I know, I know, I know.
01:09 I mean, it's cool to find out he was in this.
01:11 Yeah, it's insane. I get to share a bed with Billy Elliot. I mean, no complaints from me.
01:15 Jamie Bell, he's just a remarkable actor. Just kind of his journey as well.
01:18 Yeah, totally, totally. Absolutely. He's unbelievably brilliant in this film. It's like, it'd be
01:23 amazing if he was here tonight, but he's out here in spirit for sure.
01:26 Yeah, and if you can bring back anything from your childhood, what would it be?
01:30 Old football boots. I don't know.
01:33 Yes, a pair of Predators. Nice.
01:35 Thanks very much.
01:36 Thank you so much.
