00:00Hi Willem, lovely to see you again, how are you doing?
00:04Good, good.
00:05Listen, 36 years, that's longer than I've been alive. We've been waiting for this for
00:10so long, how special does it feel to be here tonight sharing it at the UK premiere?
00:14Good, I remember seeing the original movie and I liked it a lot. I was no kid but I wasn't
00:20that old either. So it's been a long time and usually you're kind of suspicious when
00:25people return to material after such a long time. But this was, it was connected you know
00:32and I felt like Tim was really firing on all cylinders and he's really fun to work with,
00:39really energetic, really creative and really asks you to invent things and play with them
00:45and that's fun.
00:46And how special has it been for you getting to be a part of this world?
00:51It's good. I mean we'll see. It's one thing to do it and one thing to see how it gets
00:56received. But this is pretty good and we just showed it in Venice and it was a good reception.
01:03Well I think you're amazing in this. I love your character. How much fun did you have
01:07playing Wilf Jackson?
01:08Well it's fun because the character, I get to make fun of actors actually. So I get to
01:16make fun of myself a little bit. So that's always a healthy and enjoyable thing to do.
01:21And why should people go and see B2J's B2J's?
01:24I never think people should see anything but I would recommend it because it's inventive,
01:32it's very particular, it's Tim in his element, it's Michael and the other cast members coming
01:39back, new cast members that are really fun and interesting. There's a lot there.
01:46Well it's lovely to see you again. I hope this accent hasn't given you PTSD.
01:50No, no, no. I'm fine. I'm fine with that. I love accents actually.
01:54Thank you so much. Lovely to see you.
