WAYNE: . >> James: THAT IS SENSATIONAL.
>> I DID IT JUST FOR THIS APPLAUSE.
S THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> James: YEAH, SO WHAT ARE
YOU DOING? WHAT IS THE REGIME.
>> YOU KNOW, I STARTED A LITTLE EXERCISE, BUT JUST STOPPED
EATING LIKE I WAS IN A FOOD EATING CONTEST.
SO YOU KNOW, JUST NORMAL MEALS AND THEN LIKE NO SUGAR AND NO
ALCOHOL FOR A LITTLE BIT. THAT.
>> James: THAT WILL DO IT. >> FOR A LITTLE BIT, I SAID.
>> James: IT'S A DIFFERENT TING WHEN YOU REALIZE OH, I
SHOULDN'T EAT UNTIL I'M INNING A ONEE.
>> YEAH, EXACTLY. >> James: BIG LESSON THAT.
>> I ATE A MEAL, I DESERVE ANOTHER MEAL.
>> James: YEAH. I CAN'T STOP EATING UNTIL I
GO-- HAAA, AND THEN YOU GO OH, IT'S TIME TONED THE MEAL.
>> THAT WAS 20 MINUTES AGO. >> NOW HALEY, YOU AND YOUR
HUSBAND, YOU LIVE IN THE U.K., YOU LIVE NEAR STONEHENGE.
I ALWAYS ASSOCIATE JOE WITH LIVING IN LONDON, BUT WHY
STONEHENGE, HOW DID YOU WIND UP LIVING THERE.
>> YEP. JOE IS DEFINITELY A LONDONER.
WELL, IT IT WAS THREE YEARS AGO ON VALENTINE'S DAY AND WE WERE
LOOKING AT REAL ESTATE AS COUPLES DO, AND HE SAW THIS
PLACE AND SAID WOW, THIS LOOKS GOOD.
CAN WE LIVE THERE, I SAID YEAH, THAT LOOKS GOOD, WE CAN LIVE
THERE. SO HE MADE AN OFFER ON THE HOUSE
AND THEY DIDN'T HIM, THEY WERE LIKE OH, WELL, YOU CAN'T HAVE
THE HOUSE UNLESS YOU COME SEE IT HE WAS LIKE OKAY, I WILL GET ON
A PLANE TONIGHT. SO HE FLIED TO ENGLAND AND IT IS
A TINY LITTLE VILLAGE, I LIKE THAT I LIVE IN A VILLAGE.
I GREW UP IN OHIO SO A VILLAGE IS VERY EXOTIC.
>> James: IT IS. >> BUT TO YOU A VILLAGE.
>> James: IS SOMEWHERE YOU RUN FROM.
>> ISN'T SO EXOTIC. SO YOU KNOW, JOE SEES THE HOUSE,
IS HE LIKE YEAH, THAT IS REALLY NICE, IT'S GREAT.
BUT I WAKE UP THE NEXT DAY WITH PHOTOGRAPHS OF HIM INSIDE THE
HOUSE AND I WAS LIKE HOW DID YOU GET IN, HE WAS LIKE OH I WALKED
HERE AND I KNEW THAT THE HOMEOWNERS WERE GOING TO MILAN.
AND THEY SAID THEY LEAVE THEIR DOOR UNLOCKED.
SO HE SENT ME A PHOTO EATING A BANANA ON THE SOFA, AND THE ONLY
REASON I FEEL LIKE IT'S OKAY TO TELL THIS STORY IS BECAUSE WE
LIVE THERE NOW. >> BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT THE HOUSE.
>> James: YEAH, YOU SORT OF HAVE TO IT IS ONE OR THE OTHER,
I'M EITHER NOW A THIEF OR I'M KIND OF ROMANTIC AND I'VE GOT A
GOOD STORY ABOUT BUYING A HOUSE THAT IS REALLY WHAT COULD T
DOMES DOWN TO. SAM YOU HAVE GOT SOME ENGLISH
CONNECTIONS, YOUR MUM WENT TO SCHOOL IN LONDON.
>> SHE DID. SHE WENT, MY MOM AND MY AUNT
WENT TO AN ALL-GIRLS BOARDING SCHOOL IN ENGLAND NOT FAR FROM
WEMBLEY. SO YOU KNOW, A LOT OF TIMES
SPENT BETWEEN GHANA AND LONDON, SO AND DETROIT.
SO ENGLISH CONNECTION, WHEN I MOVED BACK TO DETROIT I WAS IN
SCHOOL AT-- IN THIRD GRADE N FOURTH GRADE THIS GIRL NAMED
STEPHANIE JOINED OUR CLASS. AND SHE HEARD THAT I WAS GHANIAN
BUT THEN I CONVINCED HER THAT I WAS ENGLISH.
>> James: OH, DID YOU DO AN EAK SENT.
>> I DID THE ACCENT AND EVERYTHING AND CONVINCED HER
THAT EVERYONE ELSE THOUGHT I WAS AMERICAN.
>> MY DAUGHTER SOUNDS LIKE THE QUEEN.
>> VERY. >> SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE'S BEEN
HAVING TEA WITH THE QUEEN SINCE SHE WAS BORN.
>> James: WHAT SORT OF ACCENT WERE YOU DOING.
>> PLEASE, DON'T TELL ANYONE THAT I'M ACTUALLY FROM ENGLAND.
NO ONE CAN KNOW THIS BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK AT MY VISA.
SO IF SOMEONE WILL FIND OUT, IT WILL BE TROUBLE, YOU KNOW.
AND I PROBABLY WAS EVEN MORE POSH, YOU WON'T TELL ANYONE,
WILL YOU. CERTAINLY NOT, YES, YES.
>> James: HOW DID YOU GET, DID YOU GET FOUND OUT.
>> I THINK I JUST FORE GOT ONE DAY, WHAT'S UP WHAT ARE
YOU-- OH, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT.
>> James: THAT WILL HAPPEN, THAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU.
>> WE'RE JUST A BUNCH OF SCAMMERS HERE.
>> James: NOW HALEY, LET'S TALK AND CONGRATULATE YOU ON
YOUR BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE CYRANO. IT IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
(APPLAUSE). >> James: YOU ARE WONDERFUL,
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW TELL THEM WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO
YOU MAY. >> CYRANO IS BASED ON THE ICONIC
PLAY BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE ICONIC PLAY, IT IS THE FILM,
A BEAUTIFUL ROMANTIC FILM ABOUT OUR INABILITY TO EXPRESS AND
ACCEPT LOVE. AND WE MADE THIS FILM DURING THE
PANDEMIC. JOE DIRECTED IT.
>> James: JOAT JOE WRIGHT, THE ACCLAIMED AND BRILLIANT
DIRECTOR. >> ACTUALLY THE COSTUMES WERE
JUST NOMINATED FOR AN ACADEMY AWARD.
>> James: AND RIGHTLY SO. >> WHICH I HAVE TO TELL YOU, A
LITTLE SECRET, HAVE I TO LET YOU IN ON A LITTLE SECRET.
THE BEST TIME TO MAKE A FILM IS DURING A PANDEMIC BECAUSE WE
MADE THE FILM IN ITALY. AND ALL THE RESTAURANTS WERE
CLOSED. SO YOU KNOW, EVERYONE WAS
STARVING. AND THEREFORE WE ALL LOOKED
GREAT IN OUR COSTUMES. >> James: THE FILM IS SO
BEAUTIFULLY MADE T IS WONDERFULLY ACTED.
I LOVED EVERY SECRETARY OF IT. YOU ARE FANTASTIC IN IT.
