Hi, Orlando.
Hi.
It's good to see you.
It's been a while since you've been here in the studio,
but I have run into you.
Yes.
It's lovely to keep running into you up north
every now and again.
I love that.
Yes.
A lot has happened since you've been here.
You're engaged and you have a brand new baby.
Tiny little, tiny--
It's basically, I have my little mini-me slash mini-my-mom slash
mini-Katy.
That is a cute baby.
Katy sent me a picture, and it really looks exactly--
well, the eyes look like her, don't you think?
Yes.
The eyes do look like her, but it was funny
because, when she first came out, I was like, "Oh, it's me,
it's a mini-me."
And then, fortunately, she got those Katy blues,
which was perfect.
But then she sort of looked a bit like my mom.
So then I got a little bit confused
because Katy's breastfeeding this mini-me slash my mom
slash--
who's she going to look like next?
It's that kind of, you know what I mean?
Right.
Maybe me.
Yeah, right.
Yeah.
Yes.
So the baby.
I know that it's really important to talk to the baby
when it is in the belly, or sing to it or something.
And I know you used to--
did you chant to the baby?
Yes.
I chant Namu Myoho Renge Kyo, which is this Buddhist
mantra I've had since I was 16.
And so I would wake up in the morning
and be like, "Namu Myoho Myoho," which is
what I do anyway every morning.
I wake up in a chant.
And so now, I would just walk into the room
and she'd hear my voice, and she sort of soothes a bit.
And then, when I'm walking around with her, I'm like,
"Namu Namu," cooing, chanting in her ear.
It's quite sweet.
She likes it.
She responds very nicely.
Katy's a bit like, "What?"
It's like I'm a baby whisperer, so I'm definitely
winning the daddy points.
Well, I mean, that's a pretty cool thing that you're
chanting to the baby.
So does that mean that she is very mellow?
Is she sleeping through the night?
You know, she is.
It's always a process.
When little babies come into the world, and then
they have to get back to their baby weight
because they lose a bit of baby weight in that process.
But she's now at her baby weight and she's sleeping, yeah,
from 9:00 until 6:00.
It's unbelievable.
9:00 until 7:00, which is a blessing.
Yeah, I don't even sleep like that.
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I wish for that.
Yeah.
I'm still up at 4:00 in the morning.
I wish I slept like that.
And she knows your face.
I saw an outfit that someone got her.
Yes.
Yeah, she can't wear that yet.
I'm not allowing it.
No answer.
Look, so to begin with, I'm looking at my mom,
then I'm looking at me, then I'm really looking at me.
And so it just--
Well, I got her something so that she would remember me.
So this is what we got her.
Thanks.
All right, you're--
We'll give it to her right away.
You're welcome.
It's pretty stiff.
She's just got to keep her arms out like that.
And as long as she keeps her arms out,
she's going to really enjoy it.
It's really comfortable.
She's going to love that.
Yeah, of course, all babies like to be like that all the time.
You just have to widen the crib.
So how is your older son?
Your older son is nine.
Is he enjoying having a tiny little sister?
He's good.
For the first time, he has a sister.
He's very well versed in little babies.
His mom has a couple, so yeah, he's
got a couple of little brothers.
He's the best, he's wonderful.
I mean, we're all doing a lot of schooling remotely.
We're at home a lot, so there's been a lot of time
for just nesting and picking up.
And getting him to pick up around his room
and take care of the baby a bit, sort of.
And you got a tattoo of his name on your arm.
Something went wrong though, right?
Yeah, it's true, I did.
I got this-- well, I was in Prague filming--
this is just before COVID-- and this guy came to town,
and he does tattoos.
And he's a friend of a friend, so I was like, "Great,
let's do it."
And then I was like, "Well, what I want to do,
I want to do Flynn's name."
And I thought, I'll do Morse code.
So we went online, Pinterest, as you do.
Found this site and so copied it out.
OK.
The tattoo artist was like, "This is it.
This is what the alphabet says."
We failed to look at the bottom of the print
where it said, hashtag way--
what was it?
Hashtag way to get depressed.
Because it was basically a fake Morse code alphabet.
Fortunately, we were only one dot out, but--
out of getting his name right, so I was able to fix it.
But it was just one of those things
where I was like, Pinterest fail, you got to love it.
All right, let's talk about the film, Retaliation.
It's extremely intense.
Tell everybody-- and it's getting rave reviews, so--
Thank you.
Yeah, we wanted to tell a story in a way that
had a chance to really resonate with the victims
of sexual abuse.
It's the story of this guy, Malky, who I play,
who was abused as a child.
And it's sort of true to the--
it falls in line with the writer's story,
it's true to his life.
And it was a very sort of--
I read the script and I immediately
felt, before I even got to some of the really painful moments
that I have to portray as this character,
that I just really wanted to be as honest and vulnerable
as possible.
And so, it was all about just doing justice to that, really.
Well, you did do it justice.
Variety magazine is comparing your performance
to Robert De Niro in Taxi Driver,
so that is quite the compliment.
That's, I mean, really, really amazing, Orlando.
We have to take a break, and then we're
going to come back and talk to you some more.
We'll be back.
