You get excited.
That's it.
He's going to see you.
Let me see. How you doing?
Very well. How are you doing? Thank you very much.
Enjoying the. Enjoying the tropical sunshine outside.
Oh, my Lord.
But, you know, friends of mine, we were about to fly back to Australia
the other day and I'm like, Oh, so hot.
I'm like, Yeah,
but wait till you land on the plane and you get to a freezing cold.
Sydney and wishing you back in London.
It's a fantastic story about the power of selflessness.
How important do you think stories like this particularly?
Oh, man, there's no better time to be showing a movie like this.
In fact, I think movies like this.
One of my favorite movies of all time is
My Brain Just Destroyed.
My, my, my, my interview.
My God, I can't believe I just had a, like, complete
it is everyone how it was.
No. Oh. I've never met Ron Howard.
So involved my face
and I might be the lead
now. It's a wonderful life.
Oh, there we go. Yeah.
Sorry, Brain. Brain...I'm getting older.
It's a wonderful life.
And and, you know, the idea that you're reminded
that your efforts in the world are appreciated
and that this story is so fantastic in terms of
reminding us that at the end of the day, when everything falls apart,
that we put aside culture, our national party, our religion,
we will will throw aside our careers in order to help other people.
And this is about a bunch of strangers and a bunch of people
from all over the world who were like, How can I help?
How can I help?
The fact that they negotiated, got together, created a community
to solve a massive problem,
which was, you know, a bunch of poor little kids stuck in a cave.
And I remember it indelibly.
It was my birthday.
And when I went into the cave, there's a 20, 30 June.
And I remember watching the news.
And for the next month I was glued.
And the same happens when there's an earthquake and people trapped
under rubble or a submarine or a boat goes down or there's a mining incident.
This was one of those cases involved.
Children, but there was a positive outcome.
And the outcome
was created by the deep kind of complex
planning and the most sort of weird
threading the eye of the needle kind of planning.
But some guys, even when I thought I knew the truth, when I got involved
with Ron's movie and I found out what actually happened, it blew my mind.
The fact that it worked.
The fact that all of those kids and the coach got out.
It still staggers me, no matter how much detail unknown
how many people I've spoken to that were involved. Yes.
And I'm so proud to be involved in this film.
I'm so proud
that we're showing this movie at a time when people feel this sense of isolation.
And I know it's different from being trapped in a cave, but I think
we all feel like we've been trapped in some kind of cave over the last few years
in different ways and have gone through whatever feelings we've gone through.
People at the end of the day want to help other people,
and I think it's a really good show of what we're made of as humans.
And I'm really proud that I'm part of it.
Yeah, just very quickly, obviously,
you went to Ron Howard as an actor, but also as a filmmaker yourself.
How indelible was that experience for you,
working with some amazing to watch that guy and I'm pointing at him.
He's right here.
Manages to keep an out
for 20, 30 characters in the film.
You know, often you watch film, you're like,
okay, I could track the main character or a couple of characters.
That's one of my favorite characters is is a Thai guy
that's cutting down bamboo in forests, helping to divert water.
I feel like I get to know him and he's like a tertiary character in the film.
He perfect pass by there. He
keeps characters alive
through the film and commences his story that,
you know, it spanned a whole month of our lives as we were
glued to the television into like two and a half hours
experience in a way that I'm like, how did you.
But we've all seen well, hopefully we've all seen Apollo 13.
He specializes in the 13 movies.
This is got one more to go.
Have they done
Ocean's 13?
Yes, I have. Yeah, he should have done it.
He should have done it.
I think it it I think he's seen it, but it probably would have been better.
Thanks for your time, Joel. Thank you.
Thanks for your time. And.
