00:00Hey guys, Jeff. Lovely to meet you, sir.
00:03Classic, classic.
00:04I tell you what, I became a father recently.
00:06Very much enjoyed watching Nine Months in preparation.
00:08Underage movie. Very close.
00:10Nine Months? From seeing this movie?
00:12Well, seeing this movie, I know it's been quite a journey.
00:14Well, I love Hugh Grant. I was just watching a lot of Hugh Grant today.
00:18And Julianne Moore's fantastic in that, yeah.
00:21I love seeing that Hugh Grant's had a bit of a rebrand over the last couple of years.
00:24We've seen more like devious roles.
00:26He's been a very, very, kind of like devious and tricky out in public as well.
00:29And people are eating it up.
00:31I eat it up. I want another order of that immediately.
00:34I can't get enough of it.
00:36We've seen you in a couple more devious roles of late.
00:38I'm enjoying that side of you.
00:40How much are you enjoying bringing that to screen?
00:43The darker side of Jeff Goldblum.
00:45Oh, thank you so much.
00:46I've enjoyed it to no end.
00:48I know you're talking about a couple of other things,
00:50but this movie, you know, I love being in this movie.
00:54It's, you know, like I say to my agents,
00:56hey, I'll play a bad guy, but get me a good version of that,
01:00and in a good movie with a good director.
01:02That's what you're kind of looking for.
01:04And this wizard part, even though he's a funny, kind of an amusing guy,
01:09charismatic, I guess, enough to attract a cult of one kind or another,
01:13he's in the American tradition of con artists and snake oil salesmen,
01:17charlatans of one kind or another.
01:19And he's, you know, he brings animal cruelty and demonization of the other
01:26and some other things that are not so nice, and as you say, dark.
01:30Well, I very much enjoyed seeing the musical side of you as well,
01:33and I hope to see a little bit more of it in 12 months' time, sir.
01:36So have a lovely evening.
01:37You're so nice. Have a lovely evening. Thank you.
