lovely are we good to kick-off sweet
school it's with great pleasure that I
welcome he's gonna zoom in mr. Daniel
Radcliffe now I had the pleasure of
seeing a little film called escape from
Pretoria the other day one of the most
tense films I've ever watched in a good
way enjoyed it for those who are
unfamiliar what the heck is this film
right so this is the the true story of
three political prisoners in South
Africa in the 1970s and they came up
with this well one of them particularly
Tim Duncan the man I play was just a bit
of a genius who worked out that he could
make copies of all the keys that the
guards had and then reconstruct them out
of wood that he stole from the workshop
so essentially they escaped from prison
by making keys to every door in the
prison and and eventually just sort of
walking out one day it was it you know
there were more hurdles than that
otherwise we wouldn't have a film but it
was no it's a really incredible true
story and and also they were political
prisoners as well so it's very much like
the kind of people that you can get
behind in prison oh they're murderers
now they're getting out maybe they
shouldn't that yeah that they're big
good people who did this escaped in the
most incredibly simple way but that as a
consequence of its simplicity was
incredibly complicated to do yes
definitely
you've earned yourself a lovely can of
water for that thank you very much evil
explanation I know watering cans it's
the future now some people may have
missed this but did I detect the
slightest hint of an accent in this film
mr. De Niro cliff very much so yes so
I'm I'm South African in this film he's
numb he's English South African so he's
not like full-on Afrikaans like it's no
interesting yeah it's not he's not from
the sort of the Dutch bored doesn't he's
of
of extraction and so yes it was slightly
closer to my but still yeah it was it
was quite a long way away and it was it
was we also filmed the movie in
Australia so if that was my concern was
like because they're not similar accents
but they are similar enough on certain
vowels that you can get dragged from
South African to Australian if you're
not careful and you're just listening to
be able and too much mmm so yes so there
was a lot of there was a lot of that I'm
lucky we had our we had a fantastic
accent coach on set called Jenny who
yeah there for all of us with our
various accent needs because almost
nobody in this film is speaking with the
racks and actually it's pretty much
really since across the board Wow God
trying to do a South African accent
while surrounded by Australians is such
a challenge really was he did a great
job
you also had what I assume is a wig yes
Santa beard beard was real yes
do you miss the beard like a retired
child no way of justifying okay we
nicknamed my wig Jackson after Bradley
Cooper's character in a star is born by
which I hadn't seen it at the time but
it was one of the reference photos the
the Omega boys to like show me what the
wig might look like when you put it on
me baby I'm fantastic this is another
problem and actually yeah it was I was
so quite resistant to the wig at first
and then we put it on I was it's
actually very 70s and even my my my own
hair does not do that naturally if it
grows longer sure it was a good way to
go now a lot of the key scenes in this
film are key scenes yes if you like
these oh my god we made a film for you
he's upon Kaiser this film we are
tackling the locksmith demographic yes
you're at you're unlocking that
demographic aside from the film is it
just something I'm interested in you're
not on social media at all
No what's that like that must be lovely
it's pretty good it must be so nice
everywhere was a period like at first
when I wasn't on it whatever was like
you know no social media what are you
doing with your life and then there was
a period when it was like how do you not
be on social media and now it's like
you're not so lucky and yeah I mean I do
think I there are certain things I love
about it and I have a great relationship
with Twitter now cuz like my
girlfriend's on it so I can spy on it
over her shoulder or like she can show
me an interesting thing and that's great
I mean II like dog videos or cool magic
tricks like that's what I think the
internet is best for and and then yeah I
just it's not out of any sense of like
oh I'm too good for this it's actually
particularly not with Twitter it's quite
the opposite is that I know that if I
was on Twitter I would be the worst
version of myself on Twitter as we all
are do you know what tick tock is I do
know what tick tock is if you have made
a tick tock I've never made it to Y you
know III don't need tick tock I sing in
mind all the time
I don't need other people to see me
doing that I enjoy it perfectly well on
my own oh I know a fantastic wish we all
have do you think cuz obviously when you
work sort of coming up as a young star
you don't of any of that social bubble
around you do you think that the new far
as I can tell like quite big social
media presences and yeah I think I would
have gone really really crazy and that
doing very well but also it's it's
something they have all grown up with
I suppose probably feel weird to them to
not have it whereas for me suddenly I
would have still been in the phase of
getting it and understanding and yeah I
yeah I definitely think everything we
were very lucky to do posit us before
stuff really yeah speak people will you
brought it up so I guess I'll have to
ask about it I've got one question I
promise it's just as a man recently tom
felton not must be up and come out not
over he had a little reunion with some
other actors oh yeah and actually next
year as I'm sure you know 2021 is the 20
year anniversary
of a little movie called Harry Potter
and the Philosopher's Stone could we be
seeing a school reunion I don't know
it's a it's a you know I won't rule it
out
Danya record confirms reading yeah you
know it's it's it's a weird thing I've
become like a horrible
stick fouled everyone is I turned 30
this year and when I tell people now
they just look so sad some some fate
will conspire to make it happen but yeah
I mean I genuinely we haven't like I was
texting Tom recently actually we were
swapping stupid videos beautiful again
imagine that twice and yeah that's my
main passion please keep escape from
Victoria when can people see this movie
the 6th of March that's fantastic
everyone go see that film cuz it's great
but also so tense you know it has a sort
of the political aspect to it but it is
at its heart it is just a very very
tense Prison Break movie that's great
Dan Eureka thank you so much thank you
you
