00:00No one cares.
00:02What would you cook for us if we came over for dinner?
00:04Be nice to me. Text me back.
00:08I'm not on the app, so I just can't do it.
00:11So fab to meet you both. Both are beautiful. How does it feel that you're now in a rom-com
00:15so we watch forever more? You're in that category now, guys. People are going to be watching
00:20it on their sofas whilst you're in bed not even knowing they're watching it. How cool
00:23is that?
00:24It is very cool. I'm so proud of what we've done.
00:26Yeah, me too.
00:27I love it. I've seen it a couple of times and can't wait to see it again.
00:31Aw, it's so sweet. And have you got any favourite rom-coms that you watch all the time, like
00:34on a Sunday, hungover, whatever? Because this is up there. And how do you feel that you're
00:37it, babes?
00:38I've got a few. Oh, no. Stop, Lucy. Don't. I've got a few favourite rom-coms. Bridget
00:45Jones. Clueless.
00:47Of course.
00:49Notting Hill.
00:50Yeah.
00:51Yeah. I mean, amazing. I don't want to think about it, to be honest. It's just wonderful
00:56to be a part of.
00:57What's the one... I should know this because it's very critically acclaimed as well, but
01:02with the boombox.
01:03Oh. Oh, is it Sixteen Candles?
01:08No. Do you know what I'm talking about?
01:11Easy A.
01:12No.
01:13With Emma Stone.
01:14No, but that's a class as well. But I've forgotten what it's called. It'll come back to me. Ten
01:17Things I Hate About You is what-
01:18Oh, you make my dreams come true. That amazing scene where he's dancing through the street.
01:23Jades of Gordon-Levitt. Oh, it's up there, guys. This is so much fun. And I just love
01:27the background of London. Was it as good as it looked like it was to film? Because I just
01:32thought you had the time of your life.
01:33Yeah, it's amazing. It's so cool being a part of a rom-com in London, set in London. It's
01:37amazing.
01:38Yeah, I loved filming it. It was good fun.
01:40It was. It was nice to do something close to home as well.
01:44Right, yeah.
01:45Like, logistically as well. Like, go home and sleep in your own bed, but also storyline-wise,
01:49you're walking around and you feel like, yeah. Yeah, you don't get to do that often
01:54and it's a real treat to travel the world and tell stories from all over the place.
01:57But yeah, it was really, really nice to do something like this.
01:59I love that you slept in your own bed. Is that better than the hotel bed though?
02:01Yeah, totally.
02:02Oh, I love a hotel bed.
02:03Grass is always greener maybe sometimes.
02:05No, I love coming home as well.
02:07For me, it's my own bed as well.
02:09So, Pia is really independent. She's fiercely loyal and she's talented. She's very good
02:14at the camera work. Have you got any little hidden things that we don't know about that
02:17you're very good at?
02:19Well, yes. I'd say I'm quite a good dancer.
02:24Stop it.
02:25Yeah, if I do say so myself.
02:27Jazz, modern, tap, contemporary.
02:29All of the above.
02:30Oh, I really want you to break into something.
02:32But back in the day, not anymore. Like, I would say that. Not anymore.
02:35Wow. Does this mean that perhaps the next movie, La La Land 2, we could pitch?
02:40100%. I'm there.
02:42And he does the whole thing.
02:43Yeah, Leeds does everything.
02:44What are your secret skills?
02:45Well, I don't sing and I don't dance.
02:47Do you play football?
02:48I love my sports and my games.
02:50You're a good cook, right?
02:52I do like to cook. I like to cook. I'm not amazing. I like wholesome dishes like a cottage
02:59pie or like a full roast dinner or something.
03:02Did you manage to taste any of that?
03:03Simone, did he cook for you guys?
03:04Not yet.
03:05What's going on? Come on. Sort that out.
03:08What about you? What was your secret skills?
03:11I'm good at like voices and impressions and I'm good at... I'm a really good cook. I'm a good cook.
03:20What would you cook for us if we came over for dinner?
03:22Ooh, a good pasta.
03:24Nice.
03:25Papadello.
03:26You can't not like a good pasta, can you?
03:27We need to do a come down when we picture this.
03:29Yeah, picture this. Come down.
03:31And have you found that your family are like, look, I need a photo taken for my passport.
03:35Now that you're good at photography, can you come around and set me up?
03:38Are you having more requests these days?
03:40No.
03:41No one cares.
03:43They do care. But did you pick it out? Did you actually enjoy it in the end?
03:47I did. I mean, yeah, I would say what I loved about it was it was so focused on Pia's chaotic
03:54nature in that studio and how she just can't keep it alive. I think, yeah, I learnt...
03:59We were talking about Kikuna just earlier and all of her work is surrounded. It's like
04:04it surrounds the whole studio. It's everywhere and that's kind of what we used as Pia's work
04:09in the film and I learnt a lot from Kiki. She's a very talented photographer.
04:13And obviously this is about dating and falling in love. If you were going to have your own
04:16online dating profiles, what's your bio saying?
04:19Oh, goodness. You have to write a bio, don't you? Oh, I don't know. What would my bio say?
04:27Be nice to me. Text me back. Let's go out dancing. I'd like to dance. Take me to a nice restaurant, maybe.
04:41That's so lovely and very endearing. Lots of swipes, I'm sure, will say yes.
04:45I think it's quite a fine art, this, you know, because you want to be funny and lighthearted,
04:50I'd say. You don't want to be in too deep and emotional straight away, but then there's
04:54so many cliches and things to avoid, so you've got to be original, but I'd say something
04:58funny. Start with something funny and lighthearted. Don't know what that is.
05:02I'm not on the app, so I just can't do it. No, zero judgment.
05:06Neither am I, for the record, and also zero judgment.
05:09Zero judgment.
05:10So I can't tell you what my bio is.
05:12My inline was peanut butter, crunchy or smooth.
05:15Nice.
05:16Always got a reply.
05:17Yeah, nice.
05:18And I got married from it. Bumble, there you go. Always works.
05:21Lovely.
05:22Did they like crunchy or smooth?
05:24Crunchy. Bit nutty, I think.
05:26What do you say?
05:28And in regards to the text me back thing, I think we should start doing that again.
05:32Do you remember in the olden days, at the end of each text message, we wrote text back?
05:35Text back. We did. We did write that. TB.
05:39Yeah, my god, we did.
05:40And then if you liked it, we'd see the X because it was a kiss.
05:42Yes, that is so... Literally, that's just kind of popped out. Yeah, we did do that.
05:47Yes, let's start doing that.
05:48Whole new memory again.
05:49Yeah, oh my goodness. That is so funny. Back in the day with Blackberries and Nokia 3210s.
05:54Yeah, things have really changed.
05:58And in regards to working with your amazing crew, did you try and get any goss from Simone about Bridgerton and stuff?
06:04Were you just like, come on, babe, tell me what's going on next?
06:06No, I'm a good boy, I am. I don't think I did, you know. I don't think we really spoke about Bridgerton.
06:15We were just, you know, we were so focused on doing the job and having fun.
06:20Yeah, but now I am. I ask more questions now.
06:23Yeah, she'll come home every night and go, oh, he doesn't care about Bridgerton. He's not asking any questions.
06:28Oh, guys, I love this so much. It was just a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much for doing this.
06:32You're so welcome.
