Can you do an impression of him? Because I really liked that impression of you.
No, no, no, no.
That's all I say. I'm a no man.
No, no, no... yes.
Yes.
Yes, no. Posh, posh.
That's me down to a tee. Posh?
Posh English.
Woof. That is so you! All the time. Woof.
You do not say woof, do you say woof?
I have become a woof man, yeah. I am a woof man.
It's gonna catch on.
It's coming back.
If you get my woof.
Woof, woof.
Yeah!
They invited me to the school dance.
What a bimbo.
Seriously hot though.
Beautiful people, I loved this beautiful film.
Thank you.
In particular, the nostalgic element I liked, the MSN messenger, I like the loosing virginity
chat, I liked the school disco. How did you feel reliving all that brilliant stuff?
It feels like it was only yesterday.
I know.
Honestly, it was when- the first time we heard Crazy In Love by Beyonce and we were like,
'Was this brought out ten years ago? Because it was only literally yesterday.'
Yeah, no, that was the thing. Most of the music, it felt like if you put a time frame
on when those songs came out, it's shocking. All those songs still stand the test of time,
they still play them all the time on the radio, so it feels so relevant. That's why making
a period movie that's only based like, 15 years ago, 10 years ago.
10 years ago, yeah.
It's like, that's so difficult to do a period piece that doesn't seem period. But I don't
know, I felt like I was just right back there.
Yeah, the MSN messenger I think for me immediately took me back. I'd rush home from school to
continue talking to my friends who I could have just stayed and walked home a bit slower
and we could have had an actual conversation but there was something so unique and new
about using the internet back then, so.
Dial up.
Beep beep boop beep.
Exactly.
It was the only way to chat people up. Used to be like, 'Hello...'
That was when chat rooms were kind of clean.
God, yeah, chat rooms!
I used to go on chat rooms and talk to strangers, it was clean.
I did that too!
It's now kind of so strange and-
Creepy, yeah.
Chat roulette, don't check out that.
What chat rooms have you guys been in?
No, but when I was younger-
You've admitted it.
I don't use them anymore
No, I don't either.
Keep in touch, okay?
We're getting married.
Congratulations.
You told me to come here. It wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you. Thank you.
So your characters seem to be massive fans of what me and my friends called the old 2-1,
where you use someone to make someone else a bit jealous.
Oh, yeah.
What do you think about that as a tactic? Because I actually think it does work.
The old 2-1.
I think it does work. Definitely through my high school days, it was constantly- You know
what, my tactic was actually to become friends with the girl I really fancied. Like , if
she had a boyfriend especially, I'd be like, 'Oh, do you want to- we should totally be
friends. We should write letters to each other.' And then once the boyfriend split up, I'd
be like, 'You wanna cry, it's fine.'
Oh!
I was the comforter, I was the comforter and it worked- Never. It never actually worked
for me.
That's a bad plan.
But that was my tactic and it failed miserably. Did you do the old 2-1?
I didn't do the 2-1, I think it was-
I've never heard of the 2-1 before.
- Yeah. - The old 2-1.
I think what I would do was I would have my guy friend call the guy, put me on mute with
like a three way call and have him lie that I wasn't on the phone and I'd sit there and I'd have
him slyly ask, 'Do you like Lily?'
Stalker!
And then I'd be like, waiting for the answer and then I would-
Sneaky!
It was so fun. And you'd just be on mute and you'd be listening to the whole conversation.
That worked a couple of times.
Yeah but I can also imagine that going in the opposite way.
Obviously I don't always get the answer I wanted.
Gosh, I hate her.
Yeah, she's okay.
I have never met anyone more irritating.
You're both very sneaky individuals it seems.
I mean, this isn't a tactic I use now.
Everyone had a different tactic back then though, whatever it may be. But the 2-1 I
definitely tried a few times.
I like that you have a name for it though.
The old 2-1.
Never heard of it before.
Very quickly before I leave, this is one of my favourite questions, if you could go back
and give your teen self one piece of advice, what would it be?
I say don't change a thing. I think without me going through all the experiences I went
through, I wouldn't be sitting here. If there was one slight change, I wouldn't- And I feel
very blessed and lucky to be in this position, so I think for me it would be, like, keep
going. Just do what you do.
I think that sometimes maybe just slow down and enjoy the moment more. Because I think
I've always wanted to go to where I've wanted to go, in terms of career and stuff, and I
think it's sometimes I was so focused on what was ahead that I may have not lived in the
moment as much so I think slow down because I know you're only young once but like-
Please remember these years.
Yeah, it's like, all of a sudden it really is like you snapped your fingers and you're
already now 25 and 10 years ago I was 15, that seems crazy so I think just slow it down
a little bit.
Have a chill.
Yeah.
And do the old 2-1.
- Do the old 2-1. - Do the old 2-1.
Sounds like a dance move.
Your advice should be that you're plan did not work.
No because you know, I'm fine.
I know you're fine, but-
You got out the friend zone eventually.
Yeah, eventually. I managed to make it work.
Your wife's gorgeous, I'm impreseed.
She's alright, yeah.
She's so pretty.
I'm very lucky.
She's always on red carpets and I'm like, 'Oh, she's so pretty.'
She is so pretty, I'm very lucky.
Anyway, I've must stop talking to you. Lovely to meet you.
Thank you, nice to meet you too.
We're constantly being separated.
I've realised that, no matter where you are, or who you're with, I will always truly completely
love you.
