Your shoes look very shiny.
Thanks man, they are quite shiny.
You've got someone on shoe cleaning.
Yeah, that's what's happening now.
That's what the minute break's for. Every five minutes.
That's when you know you've made it.
Shiny shoes.
Will, good to see you.
You too, man.
I saw your film yesterday, so it's still rattling around in my head. That's what this movie
does, is it does send you reeling into the street, wondering what you've just seen.
Uh huh, uh huh. Yeah no, it does. It's certainly a bit more mysterious than I think people
are going to expect. There's no kind of spoon feeding going on. It's certainly kind of like
a thrilling sort of adventure story. So it's a work out for the mind, for sure.
I didn't know anything about it, so when your character comes on, I feel like... Because
you're quite intimidating in this movie, so I'm glad you didn't push me over when I came
in here.
Shove you.
There's a lot of shoving that you do. Some shoving, some shoving. I think that's my main
skill of my character - shoving.
Was there shove training?
There was shove training.
Did you hit the gym?
There was a little bit of shove training between me and Dylan. Me and Dylan did that kind of
wrestling sequence together, so there was some shoving going on there and basically
what they've managed to do is make me look strong, which is probably the biggest feat
of the kind of visual effects team. It's career probably to try to make me look strong, but
they kind of managed it and we had a crane yanking Dylan back on a wire and then I think
they sped it up a little bit too, so it makes me look like I've got a good shove on me.
Well, I heard they put Dwayne Johnson's body on your...
Yeah.
So they superimposed it. Very clever stuff.
Yeah, it is. It's amazing what they can do these days actually.
So it's a fantastic cast. How many did you know were on board? Because Kaya's in there
and obviously Dylan is a big kind of growing star in the US, so it's quite nice to join
a whole sort of what you describe as up and comers maybe.
Massively, yeah. That's a thing that we kind of talked about, I mean, this isn't really
a star studded movie by any means. We're all kind of sort of up and comers.
Well BAFTA Rising Star...
Well no no no... It really was a case of that we weren't sort of relying on like big names
for our movie to kind of be made. This was more about... I think it was a purposeful
choice of the director and the casting directors to kind of find people who weren't already
kind of highly established, just so it wasn't distracting, and what's surprised people about
this film is there was a real intent to focus on performance and character and the dynamic
between us really makes sure this is very realistic. We're not showing unrealistic depictions
of people in this extraordinary circumstance. It's ordinary kids in extraordinary circumstances.
-Yeah, they're real. -Yeah.
Now your American accent, you've done it loads, so you're very good at it.
But when I try to do an impression, so if I want to try and do Geordie, right? There
are words you can use that tether you to that.
Like motorbike.
Or conjunctivitis.
Conjunctivitis is good. Jacket potato. That's a good one as well.
Yeah, yeah. By the way, Scotty T is my hero. You know Scotty T out of Geordie Shore?
No.
He's the world's funniest man. The things he says are just great.
They all seem quite similar to me. I've seen the trailers, and they're like: "Tonight's
going to be..."
"It's going to be amazing." Shock. Like that's it. That's literally it. It's just basically
that's it, and then the next day it's like, "I'm so hungover." That's about it. It's a
bit like watching university. It's kind of nuts, but it's great. But yeah, there are
like key words and sometimes I do that. I had to do an Irish accent recently, it's a
great way of learning, having a key sentence that brings you back, but I try and totally
do away with Geordie when I do American because it throws me off slightly. I don't find them
to be that similar so I try.
Well look, before I go, I had a little word game called The Junket Runner. Okay, and you've
got to get out of Soho Hotel as quickly as possible, but it's hypothetical so here we go.
So we're heading into the corridor. You can go left or right?
Left.
Okay, there's a fan who wants a selfie. What do you do?
Take the selfie, and say sorry I've got to go.
Okay, you get to the lift. Blocking the lift is Sky's Eamonn Holmes.
Oh Eamonn, great guy.
He's a big guy, so how do you get around him?
I just say Eamonn mate, I'd love to talk, but I've got to go down. See you soon.
Okay right. One Direction's Liam Payne is waiting for you in the lift. He wants to play
knock and run, so you hit number 110 or 111. Which door do you knock on?
He loves a good game of knock and run. I do 110.
Jennifer Aniston answers.
Awkward.
She wants to kiss you again.
Oh gosh, no. Because she's now getting married and stuff, and I've told her this. We can't
keep doing that.
Well she sneaks around a tea trolley so I wouldn't worry about it.
Fine, all ends up well.
Wicked.
Thanks man, nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
