MARVELOUSES MAISIE WILLIAMS, HOW ARE YOU?
>> HI, HOW ARE YOU.
THANK YOU.
>> James: I'M SO HAPPY TO SEA YOU, NOW YOU ARE BACK IN THAT
THERE UNITED CONDITIONING DOM AM AND I KNOW FROM TALKING TO PIE
PARENTS AND MY SISTERS THAT THEY HAVE EASED SOME OF THE LOCKDOWN
RES TRIRKS OVER THERE.
HOW IS IT?
IS IT STARTING TO FEEL ANYWAY CLOSE TO NORMAL AT THE MOMENT?
>> YOU KNOW, BEING CROWDS ARE STILL NOT SOMETHING THAT WE TEND
TO ENTER INTO.
BUT WE, THEY HAVE STARTED OPENING A COUPLE OF RESTAURANTS
AND TRYING TO NARROW DOWN WHERE YOU SIGN IN AND GIVING A PHONE
NUMBER, THEY DO THIS THING ARE YOU CAN GO AND GET 20% OFF AND
THEY WILL GIVE THAT BACK TO THE RESTAURANT AFTERWARDS AND TRY
AND GET THE ECONOMY GOING.
>> James: YES.
SO HAVE YOU BEEN ABLE TO SEE YOUR FAMILY OR ANYTHING YET.
I IMAGINE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THEM FOR A LONG TIME, HAVE YOU SEEN
THEM RECENTLY?
>> I HAVE, YES.
I GOT TO SEE THEM THIS WEEKEND FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE
EVERYTHING CLOSED DOWN.
AND IT WAS REALLY WONDERFUL.
IT WAS JUST THE ENERGY THAT I NEEDED.
I MISSED THEM SO MUCH AND THEY HAVE BEEN SO GREAT.
HI A BIRTHDAY, MY MUM HAD A BIRTHDAY, MY SISTER HAD A
BIRTHDAY SO WE REALLY MISSED EACH OTHER DURING THOSE TIMES.
AND WE JUST DID A COUPLE OF VIRTUAL THINGS.
MY BROTHERS, THEY WENT, THEY WENT ON MINECRAFT AND THEY
CREATED LIKE A WHOLE HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAISIE MONUMENT WHICH I
WENT ON TO, YOU KNOW, ON THE EVENING OF MY BIRTHDAY.
AND THEY SET IT ALL UP WITH FIREWORKS.
IT WAS REALLY, REALLY CUTE.
IT WASN'T-- IT WAS REALLY, REALLY CUTE.
>> THAT IS A REALLY ADORABLE THING FOR YOUR BROTHERS TO DO.
AND ALSO I IMAGINE THEY COULD SAY TO PEOPLE NO, NO, I'M NOT
PLAYING VIDEO GAMES, I AM TRYING TO DO SOMETHING LOVELY FOR MY
SISTER.
>> YEAH, BECAUSE HE HAS THIS SURVIVAL MODE BUT THEY HAD GONE
ON IN CREATIVE MODE TO GIVE A HELPING HAND TO CREATE THIS BIG
BEAUTIFUL MONUMENT.
>> James: WHAT A LOVELY THING TO DO.
>> THEY SPENT A LOT OF TIME ON IT.
>> James: NOW I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOMETHING THAT YOU
AND YOUR BOYFRIEND DO.
THAT I DON'T THINK ME AND MY WIFE COULD EVER DO, LET ALONE,
IN FACT, ANYBODY.
YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND, YOU HAVE GOTTEN TO THIS THING, AND I WILL
SAY THIS, YOU PULL IT OFF, YOU WEAR MATCHING OUTFITS.
HERE ARE YOU MATCHING OUTFITS HERE, THEN ARE YOU MATCHING
CHECKS, WHOSE IDEA WAS THIS THO DO THIS AS A COUPLE.
BECAUSE IF I SAID THIS TO MY WIFE, I THINK I WOULD BE
DIVORCED IN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.
>> WELL, I THINK THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO MATCH THEIR OUTFIT BUT
SOMETIMES YOUR STYLES JUST DON'T, THEY JUST DON'T
COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER.
AND THAT'S OKAY.
THAT'S NOT A REASON FOR A VORSZ.
BUT-- DIVORCE.
BUT WE TEND TO I JUST ALWAYS LOVE WHAT HE WEARS, I ALWAYS
HAVE.
I SO HE IS USUALLY LIKE REALLY BOLD WITH THE COLORS AND THE
PRINTS AND THEN I JUST SORT OF TAG ALONG AND GO WAY, YES DO IT
LIKE THAT.
>> THE ONLY WAY MY WIFE AND I COULD WEAR MATCHING OUTFIT IS IF
SHE JUST STARTED WEARING A POLO T-SHIRT AND JEANS EF RADIO HE
DAY.
BUT YOU TWO DO IT WITH SUCH PAN ACH.
>> WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WE DO ENJOY IT, IT IS SO MUCH FUN.
>> James: NOW CAN WE TALK FOR A MOMENT ABOUT GAME OF THROAFNS,
IS THAT-- "GAME OF THRONES" S THAT OKAY?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> James: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE FINAL SEASON WHERE YOUR
CHARACTER BASICALLY BROKE THE INTERNET WHEN SHE KILLS THE
NIGHT KING.
TELL ME WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER AOUT THIS EPISODE?
>> I HAVE REALLY ERASED IT FROM MY MEMORY.
>> James: REALLY.
>> YOU KNOW, THIS SHOW WAS SO MASSIVE AT THAT POINT IT IS NOT
HEALTHY TO BE ONLINE OR TO WATCH IT OR ANY OF THOSE THINGS.
LIKE IT REALLY, IT JUST-- CONSUMED SO MUCH OF MY
LIFE FOR TEN YEARS.
AND THEN THIS EPISODE WAS JUST LIKE, IT WAS EVERYTHING THAT MY
CHARACTER HAD BEEN WORKING FOR.
AND IT WAS LIKE THE ULTIMATE ENDING FOR HER.
AND BIGGEST THING IN MY LIFE AND IN TELEVISION.
IT IS TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT.
SO I JUST SORT OF ZONED OUT BUT PEOPLE SAID REALLY LOVELY THINGS
AND WERE EXCITED ABOUT IT.
BUT-- .
>> James: I FIND THE ASTONISHING THING, AND I DON'T
KNOW, OF COURSE, THERE ARE DIEHARD FANS, BUT "GAME OF
THRONES" IS YOUR FIRST PROFESSIONAL TELEVISION CREDIT.
NOW SO STARTING YOU MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE OH, I HAVE GOT THIS TV
SHOW ON HBO, BASED ON THIS BOOK.
AND THEN WHEN DID YOU REALIZE OH MY GOD, I'M IN THE BIGGEST
TELEVISION SHOW OF ALL TIME?
>> I MEAN I PROBABLY REALIZED LIKE SERIES THREE, SOMEWHERE
AROUND THEN, BECAUSE WE CAME TO L.A. AND WE DID A PREMIER AT
MANN CHINESE THEATER AND THIS SORNG THE VENUE WAS SO FAMOUS.
AND I, YOU KNOW, WITH ALL THE HAND PRINT ITS AND THE WALK OF
FAME AND THERE WERE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE THERE.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY KNEW MY NAME AND THEY KNEW WHO I WAS.
AND THEY WERE SO EXCITED TO SEE ME.
AND I WAS LIKE 15 AND I JUST NEVER HAD KNOWN ANYTHING LIKE
IT.
AND SO SEASON THREE IS WHEN MY LIFE REALLY CHANGED.
I THOUGHT OH, I AM PROBABLY NOT GOING TO GO BACK TO THE WAY THAT
IT WAS FOR AWHILE.
>> James: DID YOU ALWAYS WANT TO ACT?
WAS THAT ALWAYS WHAT YOU WANTED TO DO?
>> WELL, I DON'T-- I ALWAYS LOVED PERFORMING.
AND I WOULD TRY TO MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH AT ANY GIVEN OPPORTUNITY.
AND IN FACT, WHEN I WAS AT-- WHEN I WHAT IS IN PRIMARY
SCHOOL, WHEN MY MUM REALLY REALIZED THAT I WAS GOING TO BE
AN ACTRESS, I WAS IN PRIMARY SCHOOL AND I WAS PLAYING SHARON
AS BORN IN OUR-- NATIVITY.
>> James: THE CLASSIC NATIVITY CHARACTER, THE THREE WISE MEN,
THE SHEPHERD, MARY, JOSEPH, SHARON OSBOURNE, YEAH, YEAH.
>> I GREW UP QUITE HIPPIE AND I THINK THEY WANTED TO DO
SOMETHING NEW AND EXCITING AND FRESH FOR THE PARENTS.
AND SO AND I REALIZED THAT EVERYONE AT SCHOOL KIND OF
THOUGHT THAT THE CHARACTER WAS STRANGE BUT ALL OF THE PARENTS
LOVED IT.
THEY WERE LIKE SHARON OSBOURNE, THIS IS PERFECT.
SO I WAS REALLY HAPPENING IT UP, YOU KNOW, LIKE REALLY GOING FOR
IT, THE BLACK BOOTS AND THE RED HAIRSPRAY AND I WAS REALLY
PERFECTING MY SHARON OSBOURNE IMPERSONATION.
AND I BROUGHT PEOPLE SO MUCH JOY AND I THINK THEN I KNEW LIKE I
JUST WANT TO ENTERTAIN PEOPLE.
>> James: HOW IS YOUR SHARON OSBOURNE IMPERSONATION TODAY?
>> I JUST REMEMBER BEING LIKE WELL, HELLO DARLING.
AND THAT WAS ABOUT THE EXTENT OF IT.
MAYBE I COULD DO A BIT MORE THESE DAYS BUT-- .
>> James: WELL, IT IS ALL SUITS YOU IN THE BEST, LET'S
TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW MOVIE THE NEW MUTANT, FOR ANYBODY THAT
DOESN'T KNOW, TELL THEM WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> THE NEW MUTANTS IS A MARVEL MOVIE SET WITHIN THE X-MEN
UNIVERSAL, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT ACTUALLY LINKED IN THE X MEN
WORLD OR ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS, ALL NEW CHARACTERS.
NEW MUTANT, FIVE OF THEM AND THEY ARE ALL TEENAGE ARESSED.
AND WE ARE BROUGHT TO A FACILITY BECAUSE WE ARE A DANGER TO OTHER
PEOPLE AND ALSO OURSELVES AND WE ARE PUT HERE TO TRY AND LEARN TO
CONTROL OURSELVES.
AND I PLAY A CHARACTER RAIN AND SHE IS, HER MUTANT POWER IS SHE
CAN BECOME WOLVES BAIN WHICH IS KIND EVER A WEREWOLF SORT OF
SCENARIO, GOOD LISTEN, GOOD SEEING, ALL OF THE SENSES.
AND WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT T HONESTLY IS THAT THESE ARE
TEENAGERS AND ALTHOUGH WE THINK OF THEM AS-- THEY REALLY ARE
JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THEMSELVES AND TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW TO, YOU KNOW, EXIST WITHIN THE WORLD LET ALONE
HARNESS THE POWER OF DB DN AND SAVE THE WORLD.
I REALLY THINK THAT SO MANY TEENAGERS RIGHT NOW ARE, THE
YOUNG GENERATION HAVE EXPERIENCED SO MUCH IN NAIR
LIFETIME, SUCH A REIS I YENT GENERATION AND I THINK A FILM
LIKE THIS SPEAKS TO PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
NOT JUST BEING A TEENAGER BUT PEOPLE WITH BATTLES AS WELL.
I THINK PEOPLE WILL LOVE IT.
>> James: I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY,
VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT SEEING THE FILM.
