Emma: It is my great pleasure to welcome Daniel Radcliffe to Magic!
It's Magic!
Daniel: Thank you.
Emma: We don't usually do interviews like this in fact I've never seen an interview
with you with cardboard tubes.
Daniel: You haven't watched all of them.
Emma: I haven't watched all of them? There's one there somewhere!
Daniel: This is something I do kind of... yeah no, no!
Emma: Needed some fun on a Friday. The reason why we are dressed like this is because of
your brilliant new movie which is out in August.
Daniel: Yes!
Emma: Called 'Playmobil: The Movie' And we thought well rather than talk about the movie,
first we thought we would actually put you through the ring roll of trying to achieve
some certain tasks with cardboard tubes on our hands a.k.a Playmobil figurines.
Daniel: Yeah, right.
Emma: Right this is of course the world famous Jenga.
Daniel: Yep!
Emma: I might have the upper tube on this.
Daniel: Ok... very confident!
Emma: I'm being honest.
Daniel: Great!
Emma: But you are our guest so you should go first.
Daniel: Alright. I'm gonna be one of those terrible people.
Emma: Bold! Bold! Bold!
Daniel: Oh no! Can I move round the table?
Emma: Yeah, yeah!
He's on the edge! Daniel Radcliffe is a man on the edge!
Oooooh! Oooooh! Okay.
This is the best day of my life.
Daniel: It's up there for me.
Emma: Ok here we go, I'm going middle.
Oh god. Oh right ok, here we go. There we go.
Did you used to play...
Daniel: That didn't even look like a struggle.
Emma: Did you used to play character games
with little plastic characters when you were a kid?
Daniel: I actually played with... I mean I played with Playmobil, genuinely a lot. And
that was sort of one of the quite nostalgic reasons for wanting to do the film. But then
I also played with WWE action figures, or WWF as they were then. Before I assume they
lost their court case to 'World Wildlife Foundation'! That's why it's kind of one of my dreams to
like, I would just love to work with Dwayne Johnson one day. I don't know what film there
is that we could both exist in but I would really like to make that happen.
Emma: Okay did you record that? Dwayne Johnson, somebody send it out to Dwayne.
Daniel: He's undoubtedly watching this already.
Emma: Oh yeah! He's a huge Magic fan. He's a huge Magic fan!
Daniel: Yeah absolutely!
Emma: There you go, your turn. I would imagine as well that Rex Dasher as a character though -
Daniel: Oh yeah, can I use two hands?
Emma: Urr no!
Daniel: No. Yeah that's not Jenga.
Emma: That's not Jenga! I like that he's going in like that.
There's a nice nifty dance move there.
Daniel: Yeah!
Emma: There you go. That's all that movement training coming back to you.
Daniel: Ha, yeah! I did get not get trained in any professional sense.
Emma: You were professional too early! It was all bypassed. There you go. So do you
think, is there potential for more Playmobil?!
Daniel: I hope so! I think there is. There's definitely potential for it. I think it's
one of those things where I don't like to count any chickens before they hatch and I
think we have to see if people like this movie and kids like this movie
which hopefully they will.
Emma: I like this movie!
Daniel: Good! Well then, alright then yes. We'll do another one.
Emma: I mean y'know... thank you! Very easy to please! Any movie that starts with singing
vikings, the opening scene is fantastic when they first arrive.
Daniel: That's it! We should mention that it is also like kind of a musical this film
and there are lots of amazing songs. But you don't have to listen to me sing, don't worry
about that. That is left to other, more talented individuals.
Emma: We have yet to listen to you sing actually don't we or do we?
Daniel: Well I can sort of carry a tune but like once I've met real singers as well I
know I can't really sing.
Emma: The last time I saw you in the flesh, you were wearing considerably less clothes.
Daniel: Oh really?!
Emma: Soz!
Daniel: No, no worries! Was that the last Harry Potter premiere yes?
Emma: It was like people trying to... PRs trying to cover you in clothes. Back in 2007
which was remarkable!
Daniel: Yeah that's mental, I was... I was young!
Emma: We're talking about Equus, which is a play that I did at school and it was so
- *Emma gasps*. Can you imagine, I just nearly did that with my big backside.
Ok, ok, ok!
Daniel: We're really good at this, can I just say?
Emma: We're really good at this!
Daniel: We're making this look like a completely normal game of Jenga.
Emma: Exactly! Go, go, go, go!
You're crazy!
Daniel: Ahh yes!
Emma: Right ok. I'm going for it. There we go. Oh my god. Are these all stuck together?
Can I just point out that I have bingo wings even with tubes, this is so unfair. Right,
Daniel Radcliffe... you're going down.
Daniel: What was that hand gesture?! It's hard to tell in the tubes.
Emma: There you go. This is gonna forward fast to like Wednesday next week.
Cheeky flick!
A cheeky flick!
Daniel: That's what they call me.
Emma: That ones coming out. That ones coming out.
Look at this. Patience of a saint. The steadiness.
Daniel: I really thought that was going!
Emma: See! There you go. Is this like a weighted one?!
You gonna do it? You gonna go? You doing that?! Are you serious?! You crazy man!
Ok, you've left me hanging bro.
What we gonna do here?
Daniel: Sorry, we're moving round a lot. You've really gotta get a good look at the...
Emma: Exactly! Exactly. So, and what's keeping you busy at the moment? You just mentioned
a new film that you're in as well?
Daniel: Ah yeah, I just finished a film in Australia called Escape from Pretoria which
is about a prison break.
Emma: Ahhhh!
The Jenga champion! Thank you very much.
Well done! Daniel Radcliffe.
Daniel: Thank you, thank you thank you!
Emma: Congratulations on the brilliant brilliant film, I loved it.
Daniel: Good! I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Emma: Yeah it's really fun! It's really fun, my kids are gonna love it.
Daniel: Yeah, if you don't take kids, you know you might look out of place.
Ermm... yeah.
