00:00 I have a confession. Shark's Tale is my favourite film ever.
00:05 Nice, nice.
00:06 I feel honoured to meet you and this is my second favourite film ever.
00:10 Nice, nice.
00:11 What would your dad think? What would your dad think if he were here?
00:14 I think he would say... I think he really appreciates that there's a message behind what we're doing.
00:20 This is not a vanity project. It's a project with a purpose and one love.
00:24 It's a message that we're spreading all over the world by doing all of this.
00:27 That's what it's really about. I think that's what's important to him.
00:31 The message that we are spreading using him as the vehicle.
00:34 How did he change the world of music?
00:37 Well, Bob was a revolutionary in terms of open-mindedness.
00:41 Trying to not be a follower but a leader.
00:45 And a leader just like Miles Davis and those artists who take risks to express themselves.
00:51 That's the type of artist he was. So that changes music.
00:54 And when you saw Kingsley's performance, did you feel emotional? Did you feel like it was your dad?
00:59 Well, I was on the set so... Yeah.
01:02 I was on the set so... I mean, we work with Kingsley closely.
01:06 Forget it, right? Forget it. Authentic.
01:08 And so we're very happy with what he did. Very happy.
01:11 And was there any moment where you thought you could play your dad in a film?
01:15 No. Acting is an art. It's a science.
01:18 We needed somebody who was proficient at their art.
01:22 I'm proficient at acting. It's not as simple or as easy as people think.
01:26 It's really a science and Kingsley really had to go deep into certain things that I have no idea how that works.
01:32 Because I'm not an actor. I'm a musician. I know music. I don't know acting. Not yet.
01:39 Maybe the next Bond.
01:41 Yeah.
01:42 They're looking for someone.
01:44 Kingsley. Kingsley. Kingsley.
01:47 And I have to ask you, in regards to this film, what do you want people to feel?
01:51 What do you want them to feel after?
01:52 Emotion. Whatever emotion they get from it.
01:55 When you go watch a movie, you're supposed to feel emotion.
01:58 So it's up to the person to see how they feel, but I want you to have emotion. Emotional reaction.
02:05 And are you now best friends with Prince Harry?
02:08 Obviously, he was at the premiere in Jamaica.
02:10 Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was there.
02:11 Do you like him?
02:12 Of course.
02:13 Prince is cool, man. He loves Bob Marley.
02:16 Yeah, he does.
02:17 He does?
02:18 Yeah.
02:19 Thank you very much indeed.
