>> WELCOME BACK, JOINING US NOW SAY FANTASTIC ACTSER YOU KNOW
FROM X MENTIONER MAD MAX FURRY ROAD, THE FAVORITE AND SO MUCH
MORE, THE WONDERFULLY TALENTED, ALWAYS ADORABLE NICHOLAS HOULT
IS HERE TONIGHT.
HEY, MATE, HOW ARE YOU?
>> HEY, I'M VERY GOOD, MAN, HOW ARE YOU?
>> James: I'M VERY, VERY WELL.
I WAS THINK BEING YOU THIS MORNING BECAUSE I KNEW WE WERE
DOING THIS INTERVEUMPLET AND THEN I REALIZED I DON'T THINK
HAVE I SEEN YOU SINCE WERE YOU LAST ON THE SHOW WHICH WAS A FEW
YEARS.
>> I THINK IT WAS-- YEAH.
>> James: HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?
>> THE TIME IN THIS GAME, I DON'T KNOW, IT FLIES BY VERY
STRANGELY BECAUSE YOU ARE BLOCKING OUT, PARTICULARLY FOR
ME, THE IDEA OF YOU DO A THREE MONTH OR SIX MONTH FILM AND THEN
SUDDENLY ON TO THE NEXT THING AND SUDDENLY FIVE YEARS FLIES BY
AND IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE THAT LONG AT ALL.
>> James: SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED IN YOUR LIFE, FATHERHOOD HAS
COME YOUR WAY.
>> YEAH.
>> James: HOW ARE YOU FINDING IT?
>> I'M LOVING IT IT'S MAD, THERE SAY LEARNING CURVE AND A LOT TO
TAKE IN BUT OVERALL, IT IS LIKE THAT THING, THAT TIME IT IMRINGS
BACK A LOT OF MEMORIES OF YOUR CHILDHOOD.
IT MAKES YOU PLAY AGAIN WHICH I'M REALLY ENJOYING.
PARTICULARLY WITH THIS TIME, WE HAVE THE THING SHUT DOWN, NOT
HAVING TO WORK.
I'M PLAYING TRAINS.
AM IT IS GREAT.
>> James: WAS YOUR FIRST JOB, AM I RIGHT, THINKING YOUR FIRST
JOB WAS WHEN YOU WERE THREE?
>> YES, FIRST PLAY WAS WHEN I WAS-- THREE YEARS OLD.
>> James: I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND HOW THAT IS POSSIBLE.
>> I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT NOW LOOKING AT MY LITTLE BOY.
I'M LIKE HOW DO YOU CONVINCE A KID TO DO WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO
DO AT AYE DESIGNATED TIME ON STAGE BECAUSE I CAN'T CONVINCE
HIM TO DO ANYTHING.
IT WAS KIND OF A WEIRD, LIKE FOR TEU TUS EVENT WHEN MY MUM HAD ME
IN THE AUDIENCE AND THE DIRECTOR NEEDED A YOUNG BOY FOR HER NEXT
PLAY SO SHE WAS LIKE HEY, YOUR KID SEEMS TO CONCENTRATE WELL.
CAN I USE HIM.
AND MUM WAS LIKE GO ON.
SO I'M NOT SURE ENTIRELY IF I WAS VERY GOOD, PROBABLY NOT, OR
THE BEST THING I HAVE EVER DID AND IT AS ALL BEEN DOWN HILL
SINCE THEN, I DON'T KNOW.
>> James: IT DEFINITELY HASN'T BEEN DOWN HILL SINCE THEN BUT
YOU THREN JUST KEPT ACTING AS A CHILD.
WERE YOU IN A PLAY AT THREE.
THEN WHEN WAS YOUR NEXT JOB.
>> MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL JOB WAS WHEN I WAS FIVE, THAT WAS VERY
EASY.
I REMEMBER THE AUDITION, PRETEND TO EAT CAKE.
AND I WAS PLIEK, SIRCH EL, LOVE CAKE.
I CAN DO THAT.
AND THEY WERE LIKE YOU GOT THE ROLE, KID.
>> James: IS THAT THE THING THAT MADE YOU REALIZE THAT
ACTING WAS FOR YOU, THAT JUST BECAUSE YOU-- PEOPLE WILL GIVE
YOU CAKE.
>> PRETTY MUCH, THAT IS WHAT I-- THAT ST STILL HOW I LOOK AT
IT.
>> THEY SEND ME THE SCRIPT, SO I SAID WILL THERE BE CAKE.
>> AND THEN I WILL DO IT.
>> RIGHT NOW YOU ARE HERE IN LOS ANGELES.
YOUR FAMILY IS MY FAMILY ARE BACK HOME IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.
HOW ARE YOU FINDING THIS IT PERIOD OF TIME THAT WE ARE IN,
BEING SO FAR AWAY FROM THEM?
ARE THEY ALL GOOD AND COPING.
HOW ARE YOU GETTING THROUGH IT?
>> EVERYONE IS GOOD, THANKS FOR ASKING.
IF ASK WEIRD, I THINK THE ODD THING IS THAT NORMALLY IT IS SO
BUSY EVEN WHEN YOU ARE APART THAT YOU FORGET TO CHECK IN.
THE NICE THING IS A LOT OF PUB STYLE TRIVIA QUIZES, I LOVE A
GOOD TRIVIA QUIZ.
THERE HAVE BEEN LOTS OF THOSE.
I PROBABLY GOT MORE USE OF INFORMATION THAN EVER BEFORE.
SLIGHTLY ODD LAST WEEKEND, MY LITTLE SISTER SUGGESTED THERE
WOULD HAVE TO BE A DRAG ELEMENT.
>> GREAT.
>> SO I FOUND MYSELF WITH MY FAMILY ON A VIDEO CHAT.
AND MY THEME WAS CORONAVIRUS CHEF WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO
INTERPRET, THIS SNORE GOOD THING GO HAVING A KID, YOU HAVE LIKE
PLAY SETS AROUND.
SO I HAD TWO PLAY DOORS AND FORKS, I HAD RAF YOIL PASTIES ON
MY NIM, A LINGUINI BOX.
>> IT WAS ALL SAFE.
>> SURE.
>> BUT THAT WAS THE LAST TIME, I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM TELLING YOU
THAT.
QUITE AN IMAGE I'M PAINTING.
COME ON OVER FOR DINNER, I WILL MAKE YOU A TREAT.
>> James: I WILL PROBABLY PASS ON THE LING WEANIE BUT OTHER
THAN THAT, IT'S GOOD.
NOW WHEN WE WORKED TOGETHER I CAN REMEMBER YOU YOU-- YOU HAD A
HOBBY ON THE FILM SET THAT DAY, AND I THINK YOU WERE SORLT OF
MISSING OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND I TALKED TO YOU ABOUT IT AND YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE, YOU
CHOOSE A HOBBY FOR EVERY JOB THAT YOU DO.
AND YOU COMMIT TO THAT HOBBY.
WHAT SORT OF HOBBIES HAVE YOU DONE OVER YOUR CAREER?
>> YEAH, WE CHATTED ABOUT THEM, I THINK.
I DID WATERCOLORS.
WHEN WE WERE DOING THE LABS, X MEN I WAS PREPARING FOR JR
TOLKIEN, SO I DISA LOT OF WATERCOLORS.
IN MY DOWN TIME.
I DID A GAME THREULED KEE MINUTE-- THEE MINUTE ART, YOU
FIND A FAMOUS PIECE OF ART AND RE-CREATE IT WITH CRAYON.
THAT IS TRULY SOME HORRENDOUS MASTER PIECES HAVE COME OUT OF
THAT FROM ME AND WE HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THE MAKEUP TRAILER.
YOU SEE ACTORS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN A PART OF IT OR DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
WAS GOING ON, AND THOUGHT THEY WERE A WEIRDLY OVERCROWDED-- THE
WALL WOULD BE PEATIC VERSIONS OF STARRY KNIGHT.
>> James: DO ANY OF THOOS HOBBIES BECOME PART OF YOUR
LIFE?
YOU HAVE STARTED ONE OF THOSE HOBBIES AND THOUGHT SIEM'S GOING
TO CARRY ON WITH THIS EVERY DAY?
>> YEAH, SOME OF THEM.
THE ONE I TOOK UP WHEN FILMING THE GREAT, I TOOK UP DOING JEU
JIT SU, THG SOMETHING I WANTERRED TO DO FOR A WHILE.
SO THAT I WILL CONTINUE DOING.
THAT WAS EMBARRASSING, THE FIRST TIME GOING IN THERE.
THEY ASKED YOU TO DO LIKE ROLLY POLEYO SOMERSAULT AS THEY CALL
IF, ROLY-POLY AS WE CALL THEVMENT I HAVEN'T DONE A
ROLY-POLY SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN, FIVE OR SIFNTLE AND YOU
HAVE TO DO THEM BACK AWARDS OVER BOTH SIDES OF YIR HEAD OR NECK.
AND I DID IT WRONG.
AND I COMPLETELY WENT OVER MY NECK, I HEARD IT, AND I COULDN'T
MOVE IT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN'T SHOW THAT.
I COULDN'T BE LIKE OH, I DID A BAD ROLLEDDEE POLEE.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BRILLIANT NEW SERIES, THE GREAT.
YOUR CHARACTER IN THIS SEEMS LIKE THE MOST FUN CHARACTER YOU
COULD EVER WANT TO PLAY.
FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW, TELL THEM WHAT IT IT IS ABOUT
AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> ST CALLED THE GREAT B KATHERINE THE GREAT, ELLE
FANNING PLAYS HER, ABOUT HER YOUNGER YEARS WHEN SHE WAS PUT
INTO THIS ARRANGED MARRIAGE, SENTED TO RUSSIA TO MARRY MY
CHARACTER PETTER THE THIRD AND ST KIND OF, YEAH, THAT PART OF
HISTORY SHE GOES IN VERY NAIVELY EXPECTING A WONDERFUL ROMANCE,
TURNS UP AND THE WHOLE KINGDOM IS IN DISARRAY AND ST CRAZY AND
SO IT IS VERY FUN, KIND OF THAT LITTLE SATTIRE WRITTEN WHO WROTE
THE FAVE PRIT SO THAT DARK TONE, BIZARRE THINGS GOING ON BUT VERY
LIGHT AND A MEUZING BUT SUDDENLY KIND OF HAD THIS EMOTIONAL KIND
OF EDGE AND UNDERSTONE TO DRAW YOU IN.
