00:00I was like, I was like, please, is he going to crack?
00:02Not even murder and mayhem.
00:03We need an Italian style.
00:06Yeah, exactly.
00:07Paul was like, here's some Ardingstall's gin, get that down here.
00:10And then be really sad.
00:13Lovely to see you.
00:14You too.
00:14You know what, despite everything that happens in this film,
00:16it still just made me want to go on holiday to Capri.
00:19I was like, this is so beautiful.
00:21Not even murder and mayhem.
00:22No, exactly.
00:24I love it.
00:25Did you guys have a lot of fun?
00:27Like, I assume when you're a cast like this
00:29and you're hanging out on an island,
00:30like you're basically stuck there filming,
00:32you must get up to some fun stuff, right?
00:34It's fun at night and it's hard work during the day.
00:36Oh.
00:37Yeah.
00:37Just the logistics of shooting in Capri,
00:40which I love that I've been going there for 30 years
00:42and I know everybody there
00:43and they're very, very kind to us.
00:45We had a great evening.
00:47What was the restaurant that you took me with Laurie?
00:51Oh, it was like dancing.
00:53Oh, my God.
00:54It was like the most delicious food.
00:56Like, Capri, they know how to party over there.
00:59Okay.
01:00But it's also, it's just so elegant
01:02and it's just the scenery.
01:04Aurora.
01:04You guys are still selling it to me.
01:06Still sold.
01:07I'm still sold.
01:08But the advice is,
01:09you have to stay there for a few days.
01:10Okay.
01:10Because a lot of people go
01:11and they go,
01:12oh, I didn't really like it.
01:14I go, well, why?
01:14They go, well, we're going for the day.
01:15I said, but don't go in for the day.
01:16You have to be there at night.
01:18Good advice.
01:19Henry, I feel like your role in this
01:22is mainly just drinking
01:23and being angry.
01:26What was your prep like for this?
01:28Essentially, that.
01:31Was there also a lot of squatting involved
01:33before your shower scenes?
01:37I mean, Paul was like,
01:38here's some Ardingstall's gin.
01:40Get that down here.
01:41And then be really sad.
01:44No, it was a combination of things
01:49that helped create that character
01:51or the character that we formerly knew
01:53as Sean and now is Sean.
01:56Sean in name only.
01:59So, you know,
02:00it was something between Paul and I
02:02and I was like,
02:02look, if I'm going to come back,
02:05you know, he's been through the ringer.
02:07He needs to come back like vapidly horrible
02:10and like just completely sort of over it
02:14and drunk.
02:16And so majority of that film,
02:18we see him progressively sort of get worse and worse.
02:22He stands up for himself,
02:23which I like to do.
02:24We finally get to see him sort of answer back.
02:27Yeah.
02:28You know, he was always kind of like
02:29a bit of the punching bag in the first
02:30and then finally we get to sort of see
02:32him have a step sort of forward
02:35and be like,
02:36I'm not putting up with that.
02:38Development character.
02:39Yeah, there we go.
02:40That's what we want.
02:41I think I like better than me and Sean.
02:44And also you brought Mikel Moron on for this one.
02:47Was it his work in 365 that's so cute, Paul?
02:50What, the movie that no one's ever seen
02:52and that's how everyone's seen it?
02:55Honestly, I didn't know Mikel's,
02:56I didn't know that movie,
02:58but other people did.
02:59But then when his name got brought up,
03:01I was just like,
03:01oh, I thought he was cool,
03:03the stuff I saw.
03:04And then when I met him,
03:04I was just like, okay.
03:05Like literally two seconds after he walked in,
03:07it's like, you're in the movie.
03:08It's gone.
03:09He's the guy.
03:10We need an Italian style.
03:12Yeah, exactly.
03:14And seeing those two of them go head to head
03:15was one of my favorite things.
03:16Right?
03:17I was like, this is pretty cool.
03:18It's fireworks.
03:19It was fireworks.
03:20You know,
03:21there was one thing
03:22which Blake's character says in here
03:24that made me think about myself.
03:25And it was like,
03:26because I've interviewed both of you before
03:27and I was like,
03:28you're nice guys.
03:28Everything I know about you,
03:30you're really nice guys.
03:31And then when she was like,
03:33are you nice
03:33or are you just afraid to be mean?
03:35I was like,
03:36oh.
03:37I know.
03:38So what are you?
03:39Are you guys genuinely nice
03:40or are you just afraid to be mean?
03:43Generally nice.
03:44Of course, exactly.
03:47Yeah, no,
03:47I think,
03:48I can safely say
03:49that we're pretty,
03:51we're on the good side
03:52of chaps in the world.
03:54Good fellas, exactly.
03:55But also,
03:57I don't like to be mean.
04:00So I think,
04:01so I guess that makes me a nice guy.
04:02But, you know,
04:03as a director,
04:05people always kind of think
04:05directors are yelling
04:06and screaming all the time,
04:07which there are a lot to do there.
04:09He's like the least,
04:11I've never heard you raise your voice.
04:14I think maybe it was like one hot day
04:17we were all getting flustered
04:18and it was just like,
04:19but I was like,
04:20I was like,
04:20please,
04:21is he going to crack?
04:22He's like,
04:23nothing happened.
04:25And I was like,
04:26oh, pull.
04:28I was an actor for so long.
04:29I know the times I'd be on a set
04:31when a director would blow up,
04:32I would just freeze up,
04:33you know,
04:34and I always want them
04:34to just have total comfort
04:37when they're on a set.
04:38Yeah, no,
04:38it did make me think though.
04:39I was like,
04:40actually,
04:40I think I might be afraid.
04:41That's one of my favorite lines
04:42of the movie.
04:42I do think I might be afraid
04:43to be mean.
04:44Like, genuinely.
04:45There you go.
04:45See,
04:46well,
04:46you put it to the test.
04:47Yeah.
04:47And also,
04:48seeing as it is another simple favor,
04:50I'm curious,
04:50are you guys good at asking people
04:52for favors?
04:53Because I know I am not.
04:54Like, I don't like to ask anyone
04:55for anything at all.
04:58I hate it.
04:59It's funny.
04:59I'm like,
05:00I always say my agents
05:00have the easiest client with me.
05:02Because they're like,
05:02why don't you call your agent
05:03and have them solve that?
05:04No,
05:04I don't want to bother them.
05:06I think I've gotten better.
05:08Because once you have sort of kids,
05:11and it's like,
05:12hey, mom,
05:13hey, dad,
05:13can you come over
05:14and stay for like a couple days
05:16whilst we go to Italy
05:18and do this thing?
05:20That's necessary.
05:20So these are the favors
05:22that I've been like,
05:23it's,
05:23it's,
05:24yeah.
05:24Have they gotten better
05:25at turning you down?
05:26No,
05:27I mean,
05:27they haven't.
05:29Don't answer.
05:30Don't pick it up.
05:31They just never answer
05:32the phone anymore.
05:32Yeah,
05:33exactly.
05:33I ask my parents
05:34for everything,
05:34to be fair.
05:35They are the only people
05:36who I don't mind
05:37asking anything for.
05:38They do.
05:39Great job with this one.
05:40Like I said,
05:40I'm booking my holiday to Capri.
05:42Yeah,
05:42I think we should get
05:43a little revenue stream.
05:44Yeah,
05:44I know.
05:45I put that down here.
05:46Yeah,
05:46you're doing what
05:47the White Lotus does
05:48for four seasons.
05:49There you go.
05:50Except my favorite place
05:51to vacation is Capri,
05:52so now I'm just
05:52making it,
05:53I can't go there
05:54because I don't need to be booked.
05:54You've ruined it
05:55now for yourself.
05:56No way.
05:57All the hotels
05:57have been booked out.
05:58But I will see you there.
05:59See you there.
06:00See you around the pool.
