0:01:47 > 0:01:50I love watching QI. It's such a good show.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53It's such an informative show as well.

0:01:53 > 0:01:57Mind you, you know, you can learn so many astonishing things watching TV.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59You know, this week, I watched Celebrity Big Brother

0:01:59 > 0:02:02and I found out Jim Davidson's popular.

0:02:02 > 0:02:04- I did. - LAUGHTER

0:02:04 > 0:02:08Unbelievable. Who knew? Who knew that? Yeah.

0:02:08 > 0:02:10Julianne Moore, Julianne Moore is here.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Star of so many great films. In Game Change, of course,

0:02:13 > 0:02:17she played gaff-prone presidential hopeful Sarah Palin. She did.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20Now, listen, we don't know if the real Sarah Palin

0:02:20 > 0:02:22liked the film or not.

0:02:22 > 0:02:24Here she is at the premiere.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26LAUGHTER

0:02:26 > 0:02:29I'd say on the fence, wouldn't you? On the fence, yeah.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32Julianne is about to star with Liam Neeson in the airplane drama

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Non-Stop.

0:02:33 > 0:02:36Yes. Now, here's Liam in action.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40Right, now, you do wonder, what's got him so scared here to pull his gun?

0:02:40 > 0:02:42LAUGHTER

0:02:42 > 0:02:45APPLAUSE

0:02:45 > 0:02:47That is terrifying.

0:02:47 > 0:02:49I can't wait to chat to Matthew McConaughey.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52Matthew's first big film was the coming-of-age comedy

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Dazed And Confused.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58Not the only celebrity who's been dazed and confused in a car.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02AUDIENCE: BOO!

0:03:02 > 0:03:03I know, Justin. Little Justin.

0:03:03 > 0:03:05Arrested in America for drink-driving.

0:03:05 > 0:03:08How can he get done for drink-driving?

0:03:08 > 0:03:10He isn't even old enough to drink!

0:03:10 > 0:03:12Or drive!

0:03:12 > 0:03:14LAUGHTER

0:03:14 > 0:03:16Now, Justin quite rightly spent the night in prison,

0:03:16 > 0:03:20but the good news is he shared a cell with some Beliebers. Yeah.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:03:23 > 0:03:25Baby, baby, yeah!

0:03:25 > 0:03:28Let's get some guests on!

0:03:31 > 0:03:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:33 > 0:03:36But first, he's more than quite interesting, it's Alan Davies!

0:03:36 > 0:03:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:38 > 0:03:43Hello, sir. Lovely to see you. Oh! Sit yourself down.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47She's the high-flying Julianne Moore!

0:03:47 > 0:03:50CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:50 > 0:03:52- Hi! Oh, so lovely to see you. - You too!

0:03:52 > 0:03:56Come in, come in, sit down. Julianne Moore everybody!

0:03:56 > 0:04:01And what's that noise? It's Oscar buzz, it's Matthew McConaughey!

0:04:01 > 0:04:04CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Wow! Hello, sir. Lovely to meet you.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Oh, God, so nice. Come in, come in, come in.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15Oh!

0:04:15 > 0:04:17Quite the couch, I think you'll agree.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- It's lovely to see Alan again. - Hello.

0:04:19 > 0:04:22And Julianne, Matthew, never been here before, lovely to see you.

0:04:22 > 0:04:25- Thank you for having us. - Thank you very much for coming here.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27And what an exciting time to be meeting you, Matthew,

0:04:27 > 0:04:30cos, my God, you're having the ride of your life right now.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32What an amazing, amazing time in the life of an actor.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Obviously you're nominated for the Oscar but you haven't lost any so far, have you?

0:04:36 > 0:04:40Haven't LOST any? I think there's some I haven't won.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Oh, no there aren't. - I think there's quite a few.

0:04:43 > 0:04:44No! You've won them all.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I think Jared Leto, I think he's got 30 for 30.- Oh, my goodness.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- I don't know, I've got a few.- Wait a minute, there are 30 award shows?

0:04:50 > 0:04:54- No.- Not award shows, he's won 30 awards, I found that out today.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57I know I haven't won 30, so there's definitely some out there I didn't.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00They weren't the good ones. No-one wants to win them.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02But it is very exciting.

0:05:02 > 0:05:06Presumably, this is the lovely time where you're the nominee.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10- Time for celebration.- Yeah. - This is the dessert.

0:05:10 > 0:05:12You know, we go do the work, it's not why we do it but, boy,

0:05:12 > 0:05:15when you do something and a year and a half later it's floating like this

0:05:15 > 0:05:17and vital and people are going, "You know what?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20"We think that was some excellent work." That feels good.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22And what's nice is they give you a long time to enjoy it.

0:05:22 > 0:05:24It's over a month, isn't it?

0:05:24 > 0:05:26It's like the Super Bowl in American football.

0:05:26 > 0:05:28You have the whole season, then once you have the final teams,

0:05:28 > 0:05:31you give them a month between so... Then everyone can start some

0:05:31 > 0:05:35rhetoric and start different stories up and have the anticipation build.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37Cos God love Julianne Moore now,

0:05:37 > 0:05:39you've enjoyed the nomination period a lot.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42- Yeah, yeah.- Is it four times now?

0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, four nominations.

0:05:44 > 0:05:48- Academy award nominations, yeah. - That seems mean.- Well, yeah.

0:05:48 > 0:05:52No, well, when you say zero for four... Is that...?

0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Or, like four over four? - Four for four for getting in.

0:05:55 > 0:05:58- That's pretty outstanding.- Yeah, it's OK.- Yeah, let's focus on that.

0:05:58 > 0:05:59LAUGHTER

0:05:59 > 0:06:03No, the really mean year was you were nominated for two in one year.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I know. You know, my daughter felt so bad for me

0:06:05 > 0:06:08one year that she made me some awards. She made me a BAFTA.

0:06:08 > 0:06:10LAUGHTER

0:06:10 > 0:06:13That is this kind of sparkly orange thing that looked like a fan,

0:06:13 > 0:06:16- I don't know why.- Are you sure that isn't the real BAFTA?

0:06:16 > 0:06:17I know, it might be.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21And she made me a Golden Globe. It was small and yellow.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23- AUDIENCE: Awww! - I know, right?

0:06:23 > 0:06:25When you were off to the Golden Globes,

0:06:25 > 0:06:27was it your son wasn't that encouraging?

0:06:27 > 0:06:30No, my son said - we were explaining to him what Papa is going out

0:06:30 > 0:06:33to do, going to an award show and for this show we did, Dallas Buyers.

0:06:33 > 0:06:37Remember New Orleans and Papa was skinny? "Yeah, I remember that."

0:06:37 > 0:06:38We're going there tonight.

0:06:38 > 0:06:40And my daughter was like, "Papa, I think you're going to win."

0:06:40 > 0:06:44My son was like - at five - he says, "Real proud of you Papa, erm,

0:06:44 > 0:06:46"but you're going to lose."

0:06:46 > 0:06:48LAUGHTER

0:06:48 > 0:06:51"I know it, you're going to lose." But I came home and touche'd him.

0:06:51 > 0:06:56Woke him up in the middle of the night and, "Do you see this?"

0:06:56 > 0:06:59- Cos, Alan, how old's your daughter now?- She's four now.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02So is she kind of aware of what you do for a living?

0:07:02 > 0:07:04She's not really... I mean, we don't let her see much telly

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- apart from Peppa Pig - obviously, that's obligatory.- Yes!

0:07:08 > 0:07:10So, people do sometimes say, "Hello".

0:07:10 > 0:07:13I play this character called Jonathan Creek

0:07:13 > 0:07:16so people quite often say, "Jonathan!" Across the street.

0:07:16 > 0:07:18She did ask me who Jonathan Creek is.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22She did say to me, "Daddy?" I said, "Yeah?" "Who is Jonathan Creek?"

0:07:22 > 0:07:23What did you say?

0:07:23 > 0:07:25I said, "He's an arsehole."

0:07:25 > 0:07:27LAUGHTER

0:07:29 > 0:07:31I said, "He built the house!"

0:07:34 > 0:07:35Good old Jonathan!

0:07:36 > 0:07:39But, listen, you're nominated and, God, you should be.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41We must celebrate your work in Dallas Buyers Club.

0:07:41 > 0:07:45You are just terrific in it. And it's a true story

0:07:45 > 0:07:48and it's taken how many years to get to the screen?

0:07:48 > 0:07:50- 20 years.- 20 years! - Oh, my gosh!- Yeah.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Because your character, Ron Woodroof,

0:07:52 > 0:07:54he was alive when they started developing it.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57He was alive when he went down and the writer went down and

0:07:57 > 0:08:01interviewed him. So in 1986, and '92, I believe, he moved on.

0:08:01 > 0:08:03So he was interviewed, he then passed away,

0:08:03 > 0:08:06and they tried to get this made for 16 years unsuccessfully.

0:08:06 > 0:08:08It got very close quite a few times,

0:08:08 > 0:08:11so people believed in it but nobody wanted to finance it.

0:08:11 > 0:08:14But even with YOU attached, it still took four, five years.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18Even with me attached. I said I wanted to do it and people were like, "That sounds great."

0:08:18 > 0:08:20"But..."

0:08:20 > 0:08:22I look forward to seeing it.

0:08:22 > 0:08:24Great, let me know when you find the change to make that thing. So...

0:08:24 > 0:08:27it really took the right amount, the right people coming together

0:08:27 > 0:08:31and it was the beginning of the year - January - and I said, "We're going to make it this Fall."

0:08:31 > 0:08:34And the people around me said, "Again, great.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37"You know, people have said that before." But we didn't flinch.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40We never left the door open, when they go, "It's not going to happen,

0:08:40 > 0:08:42"I think we need to push it to spring." I was like, no, no, no.

0:08:42 > 0:08:45Especially I was 40 pounds down, I was like, "No,

0:08:45 > 0:08:47"we're not pushing it to spring."

0:08:47 > 0:08:51And I suppose it's an extraordinary story because he's

0:08:51 > 0:08:55the hero of the film and what he does is amazing,

0:08:55 > 0:08:57but he's not that sympathetic as a character.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00No, I don't think he's sympathetic. He's empathetic, though.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03You know, I think that's part of the story, you see who he is -

0:09:03 > 0:09:07and you may be horrified by what he says and how he thinks,

0:09:07 > 0:09:10but you know he's a real man and I know people in life like that.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13I may not agree with their personal politics but if they are who they are, I go,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15"Pfft, well, you are who you are."

0:09:15 > 0:09:18And I think that's where we can empathise with who he is.

0:09:18 > 0:09:22We haven't really explained what he did, so the Dallas Buyers Club

0:09:22 > 0:09:25is where he was getting medication, from Mexico primarily.

0:09:25 > 0:09:28He was smuggling in... He was given 30 days to live.

0:09:28 > 0:09:31All they gave AIDS patients at that time and HIV patients was AZT.

0:09:31 > 0:09:33The quality of life on AZT was poor.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35He decides to take matters into his own hands.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39He goes out of the country, Israel, Austria, Mexico,

0:09:39 > 0:09:42smuggles these unapproved drugs into America and sells them

0:09:42 > 0:09:44as a black market drug dealer out of a motel room.

0:09:44 > 0:09:45And he was making some good money

0:09:45 > 0:09:48and he was keeping a lot of people alive living longer.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51The FDA in America didn't appreciate that, came down and closed him

0:09:51 > 0:09:54down three times, I think, but he found loopholes.

0:09:54 > 0:09:55He did a very clever thing.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58You couldn't sell the unauthorised drugs in America.

0:09:58 > 0:10:00So, what he opened up the Dallas Buyers Club,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02sold the memberships for 400 a month

0:10:02 > 0:10:04and gave the meds for free.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06So he was a clever little pirate.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Well, here he is being clever

0:10:09 > 0:10:12but sort of being caught out trying to get some drugs into the country.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Walker, Dorsett, Blount, Newsome...

0:10:17 > 0:10:19..Jeffcote.

0:10:20 > 0:10:23- These are patients?- Yes, sir.

0:10:31 > 0:10:34They're also the names of players in the Dallas Cowboys.

0:10:36 > 0:10:37You know...

0:10:39 > 0:10:42..that's a hell of coincidence, isn't it?

0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Isn't this a little ridiculous? - Well, you said it.

0:10:45 > 0:10:48Can you prove these are patients?

0:10:48 > 0:10:49Can you prove they're not?

0:10:49 > 0:10:53APPLAUSE

0:10:55 > 0:10:58The movie opens here on 7th February.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01Now, an awful lot has been made of the weight loss.

0:11:01 > 0:11:04For English people, I think you lost something like

0:11:04 > 0:11:07- three and a half stone, is what we would say. - 47 pounds - what would that be?

0:11:07 > 0:11:10- Three and a half stone.- There we go. Three and a half tonne.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12- Three and a half stone.- It sounds...

0:11:12 > 0:11:17Three and a half stone sounds heavy, doesn't it? Pounds, meh.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18Three and a half STONE.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Does it kind of frustrate you in a way that that's got

0:11:21 > 0:11:25so much attention? Were you like, "Still acting over here!"?

0:11:25 > 0:11:29I understood that before the film came out, that's your headline.

0:11:29 > 0:11:34- That photo that came out of me in the airport, erm, was the...- Wow.

0:11:34 > 0:11:37.."Oh, that's how we get people to click on this site." I got that.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40- Yeah.- Erm, I'm happy to say and happy that the reaction's been

0:11:40 > 0:11:44that once people saw the film, yes, the weight loss was something but I mean, you see...

0:11:44 > 0:11:47you know, who this guy was and it wasn't...

0:11:47 > 0:11:51- It quickly became something more than "the Matthew McConaughey got skinny" film.- Yes.

0:11:51 > 0:11:55If you see the film, it's obvious in about 30 seconds that that's not the film you're in.

0:11:55 > 0:11:59- But you needed to do it. - This was not an affectation,

0:11:59 > 0:12:01this was not an eccentric idea I had

0:12:01 > 0:12:04- about, "I think it'd be really cool if I lost a lot of weight."- Yeah. - You know?

0:12:04 > 0:12:08This was one of those ones where you go, "It's my responsibility to do this to best portray this man.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13"If I do not, I will be embarrassed and you're also not going to buy the movie."

0:12:13 > 0:12:17But your family and friends, they must have been worried for you.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Yeah, I mean the people that know me, know me well.

0:12:20 > 0:12:25There were some people that got a little bit worried but I said I've got it, it was under control.

0:12:25 > 0:12:27I met with a nutritionist, did it as healthily as possible

0:12:27 > 0:12:31and my family was around me daily, it was so gradual they didn't notice it.

0:12:31 > 0:12:34My daughter one day said, "Papa, why is your neck like a giraffe?"

0:12:34 > 0:12:36LAUGHTER

0:12:36 > 0:12:38Other than that...

0:12:38 > 0:12:40What were you eating?! Honestly.

0:12:40 > 0:12:43- 5oz of fish, a couple of vegetables twice a day.- Uh-huh.

0:12:43 > 0:12:46Some pudding in the morning and as much red wine as I liked at night.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49But it was small amounts and I gave myself four months to do it.

0:12:49 > 0:12:53So I clocked of three and a half pounds a month and it just worked like clockwork.

0:12:53 > 0:12:55Now, Julianne, you kind of had the opposite problem

0:12:55 > 0:12:58because both times you were pregnant, you were in movies.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01Yeah, just getting bigger and bigger by the day. Yeah, exactly.

0:13:01 > 0:13:02And you're trying to hide that.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04That's a horrible thing too, when you're...

0:13:04 > 0:13:08In Big Lebowski I was pregnant and didn't tell anybody and had to fly.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11You know, fly naked throwing paint and then come down at a...

0:13:11 > 0:13:13You know, and was nauseous the entire time

0:13:13 > 0:13:16and then I was as pregnant again when I played the old woman in The Hours,

0:13:16 > 0:13:18so I was an 80-year-old pregnant woman.

0:13:18 > 0:13:20LAUGHTER

0:13:20 > 0:13:24Really inconvenient. Really, really, really inconvenient.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27So I wore a raincoat the whole time and kind of hunched over.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30- Did wardrobe know? - Oh, yes, by then of course they did.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34But if you can imagine all my old-age make-up, my wig and everything

0:13:34 > 0:13:37and then you look down and I was, like, seven months pregnant.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40What happened to Grandma?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Cos, Alan, didn't you have a weird weight thing?- I did, I did.

0:13:45 > 0:13:50I got asked to go for an audition for a part and I turned up

0:13:50 > 0:13:55and I met a guy in this kind of ante room outside who I knew, who's huge.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58He's a really big actor. Said, "Hi," and hello,

0:13:58 > 0:14:01and then another guy came in who I half knew and who's also enormous,

0:14:01 > 0:14:05and I looked round and everyone was enormous.

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Quite cramped in the room.

0:14:07 > 0:14:10There were some snacks - they'd all gone.

0:14:11 > 0:14:16I said, "What part are you here for?" And I can't remember what it was now, Roger or something and I said,

0:14:16 > 0:14:17"I'm here for Roger as well."

0:14:17 > 0:14:21Then I went in and there were three people and they looked up and down and up again,

0:14:21 > 0:14:23and said, "Have you lost some weight?"

0:14:23 > 0:14:26And I said, "No, I've always been this...shape."

0:14:28 > 0:14:31"Oh, OK. Well, you may as well read it anyway." I said, "Really?

0:14:31 > 0:14:33"Do you want me to read it or eat it? Shall I just eat it?"

0:14:33 > 0:14:35LAUGHTER

0:14:37 > 0:14:41Now, I remember... I remember think it was '96.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Vanity Fair coming out with you on the cover...- Yeah.

0:14:44 > 0:14:48- ..where it was just before A Time To Kill.- Yeah.

0:14:48 > 0:14:50CROWD WHISTLES

0:14:50 > 0:14:54And I think, was that the first time ever someone who wasn't a big star

0:14:54 > 0:14:56had been on the cover of Vanity Fair?

0:14:56 > 0:14:58Someone told me that, I don't know.

0:14:58 > 0:15:00As a reader, I was like, "Who the hell's that?!"

0:15:00 > 0:15:02Cos you always knew who it was.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04No, it was sort of, I'd been in films and you

0:15:04 > 0:15:07brought up one of them earlier - Dazed And Confused - but that

0:15:07 > 0:15:10was the first time that over a weekend

0:15:10 > 0:15:12my life changed pretty quickly.

0:15:12 > 0:15:14Erm, I remember being...

0:15:14 > 0:15:19I went to the supermarket, figured I'll get my groceries on this Friday

0:15:19 > 0:15:21before, and I looked down and I was like, "Hey.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- "How you doing, McConaughey?" - LAUGHTER

0:15:24 > 0:15:28And I remember going, "This is weird but I'm buying two of each."

0:15:28 > 0:15:31And put them up there and she ran them through and I was like,

0:15:31 > 0:15:35"Hey, look at that cover. You know that guy? Yeah, OK, that's me right there."

0:15:37 > 0:15:43- And because it was so instant, your mom didn't adjust immediately.- No.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46No, moms never do.

0:15:46 > 0:15:48They're so sincere and good intentions

0:15:48 > 0:15:51but you just don't understand it, do you, Mom?

0:15:51 > 0:15:53It was the, erm...

0:15:53 > 0:15:56You know, people started to get interested in my life

0:15:56 > 0:15:59and my history as happens over a weekend.

0:15:59 > 0:16:02So, all of a sudden, my mom shows up in these newspapers,

0:16:02 > 0:16:07saying these things. I'm like, "Mom, keep that to... That's between us. That's between the family."

0:16:07 > 0:16:10"OK, OK." I was like, "Trust me, there's people going to be coming to you

0:16:10 > 0:16:14"wanting to know things about my life but keep what should be private ours." "OK, OK, OK."

0:16:14 > 0:16:16All of a sudden, the next Thursday night I'm looking at Hard Copy.

0:16:16 > 0:16:20It's a show in America that comes on and there's my mom giving

0:16:20 > 0:16:22an escort through my bedroom.

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- LAUGHTER - "And this is where...

0:16:25 > 0:16:29"This is where we caught him first sleeping with so-and-so. Have look at this."

0:16:29 > 0:16:32And I call her and she goes, "Oh, I didn't know you'd see it."

0:16:34 > 0:16:35I go, "Mom..."

0:16:35 > 0:16:39Cos, Julianne, in my head I see you, you're a movie star, I know who you are.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42But you were talking somewhere and saying that people, when they meet you,

0:16:42 > 0:16:44you're often not what they expect.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47Well, what happens - and I think this happens to a lot of actresses -

0:16:47 > 0:16:50people think they're saying something really nice.

0:16:50 > 0:16:53They say, "Oh, my goodness! You're so little!"

0:16:53 > 0:16:55And you're like, "Little, like...?"

0:16:55 > 0:16:57"Little. Like, I thought you were bigger.

0:16:57 > 0:16:59"I thought you were really big but you're little."

0:16:59 > 0:17:03So you're like, "Oh, OK." Or they go, "You're prettier than I thought."

0:17:03 > 0:17:07- LAUGHTER - You don't know what to say so you're like, "Thank you...

0:17:07 > 0:17:10"I think. Thank you."

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Yeah. So that's one of the things that happens.

0:17:13 > 0:17:17And, Alan, you had a thing in a park that was the opposite of being recognised.

0:17:17 > 0:17:20Yeah, well, some people say, "Are you that guy off that thing?"

0:17:20 > 0:17:22- You get that?- Oh, yeah.

0:17:22 > 0:17:25And they say, "Are you on television?" And you say, "Yeah, sometimes I'm on television."

0:17:25 > 0:17:28And they go, "No, you're not." LAUGHTER

0:17:28 > 0:17:30I have to go, "Yeah, I am, I'm on a show."

0:17:30 > 0:17:33"No, you're not. What show you on?" "I do a show called QI."

0:17:33 > 0:17:34"No, you don't."

0:17:34 > 0:17:38This woman was saying this to me and she had her kid with her who

0:17:38 > 0:17:40was about ten and he suddenly goes, "Why are you lying?"

0:17:40 > 0:17:42LAUGHTER

0:17:42 > 0:17:46"I'm not lying." "Yeah, you are, you're lying. What you lying for? What you lying for?!"

0:17:46 > 0:17:50He looks at his mum, smiling, like, "We've got him on the run now."

0:17:50 > 0:17:53And she goes to me, "Dream another dream."

0:17:53 > 0:17:56LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:18:01 > 0:18:04And now, Matthew, it's fair to say since the whole Vanity Fair

0:18:04 > 0:18:06thing and that incident, you've worked consistently.

0:18:06 > 0:18:11But it seemed in the last few years... I love the way Hollywood comes up with names for things.

0:18:11 > 0:18:13The... What's it called? The McConaissance.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15McConaissance, I heard that.

0:18:15 > 0:18:19The rebirth of Matthew McConaughey. Was that a thing in your head?

0:18:19 > 0:18:22- Were you trying to have a McConaissance?- Nah.

0:18:23 > 0:18:25All I knew is when I first heard a reporter say that, I said,

0:18:25 > 0:18:29"What did you call that?" "McConaissance." I was like, "Well, it sounds good."

0:18:29 > 0:18:31No, I was...

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Look, I was re-calibrating my relationship with my career for sure

0:18:34 > 0:18:38and that meant taking some time off from doing the things I was doing.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41And the way I look at it, I don't look at it as any kind of rebirth for me.

0:18:41 > 0:18:43I didn't have a coming-to-God-moment epiphany.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48I just said I want to do some different things and show a different part of myself and...

0:18:48 > 0:18:51Different chapter, same book is the way I've looked at it.

0:18:51 > 0:18:57Cos on the paper, you would not think that Magic Mike would be

0:18:57 > 0:19:01a stepping stone to being an Oscar nominee, you know?

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Cos it doesn't sound like that sort of film, but it was.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06I mean, you were amazing.

0:19:06 > 0:19:08And is it true that the strip at the end was you?

0:19:08 > 0:19:11No-one asked you... Obviously someone allowed you to do it.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14- No, they...- He insisted.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16I would've done if I looked like that.

0:19:16 > 0:19:18"Do you need me nude at all?"

0:19:19 > 0:19:21Well, I remember that phone call

0:19:21 > 0:19:24when Steven Soderbergh was talking to me about the part and

0:19:24 > 0:19:26I was already on one knee laughing at this world and this pitch.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29And he goes, "You know, it's not in the script right now but I...

0:19:29 > 0:19:34"Dallas, we think he really should have his own dance at the end, I think it'd be a good idea."

0:19:34 > 0:19:36And immediately in this ear, my head's going, "No, no, no,"

0:19:36 > 0:19:39and in this ear was like, "Are you kidding me?

0:19:39 > 0:19:43"You have to if you get a chance. If you don't, you'll regret not ever doing that," and so, yeah.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46As soon as I found the song, which was Calling Dr Love

0:19:46 > 0:19:48and got that cleared, I was like,

0:19:48 > 0:19:50- "Let's go have some fun, man." - And is it true,

0:19:50 > 0:19:53the thing about you road-testing kind of the posing pouch?

0:19:53 > 0:19:55The posing pouch?

0:19:58 > 0:20:00Isn't that... Isn't that what they're called?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02"The posing pouch"!

0:20:02 > 0:20:04You don't call them that in America. Those little things

0:20:04 > 0:20:07that you just about get things in with a string round the back.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10The slightest move and everything's out.

0:20:10 > 0:20:14I read something where you walked around to make sure that it wasn't falling out of...

0:20:14 > 0:20:18No, what I did do, which a lot of us did,

0:20:18 > 0:20:21is you put one of those on, and all of a sudden you find...

0:20:21 > 0:20:23your body kind of gets a little inverted.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25- LAUGHTER - I had to really loosen up,

0:20:25 > 0:20:27cos this was a guy who lives in this thing

0:20:27 > 0:20:29and has to feel really loose and...with it.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32So I remember going, and I wasn't the only one that did this.

0:20:32 > 0:20:34I have to walk out there amongst the crew

0:20:34 > 0:20:37and have small-time, normal conversations like,

0:20:37 > 0:20:39- "So how you doing?" - LAUGHTER

0:20:39 > 0:20:41"What'd you have for lunch?"

0:20:41 > 0:20:43"Hey, did you see the game this weekend?"

0:20:43 > 0:20:47I'd try to have some small talk in this thong without flinching,

0:20:47 > 0:20:49and it was hard because..

0:20:49 > 0:20:51LAUGHTER

0:20:51 > 0:20:53- I wasn't but it wa... - LAUGHTER

0:20:53 > 0:20:56You said it now. You said it.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58Yes!

0:20:58 > 0:21:01It was! Thank you for that.

0:21:01 > 0:21:02LAUGHTER

0:21:02 > 0:21:04Teed me up for that one! Well done!

0:21:04 > 0:21:07The trouble is, you see, that your genitals

0:21:07 > 0:21:09aren't sensitive enough to a change in temperature,

0:21:09 > 0:21:12so if something does slip out,

0:21:12 > 0:21:15it needs to immediately feel cold, so you're aware.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18But I remember being on holiday with friends and...

0:21:18 > 0:21:20LAUGHTER

0:21:20 > 0:21:22And one of my friends was talking to someone in a bar,

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- and he was sitting like this in shorts.- Oh, please! Oh, no!

0:21:26 > 0:21:29And we knew that one of them had popped out,

0:21:29 > 0:21:31and he didn't know, because he didn't feel anything,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34and that's a design fault or a fault of evolution.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35LAUGHTER

0:21:35 > 0:21:38But now, talking of sex symbols and heart-throbs,

0:21:38 > 0:21:43Alan Davies down the end there, you topped a list last year.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46- Do you know the list you topped? - He wasn't on it, I know that!

0:21:46 > 0:21:47No, he wasn't, no, no.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51Alan was top of it. Not a mention of you, no!

0:21:51 > 0:21:52No, it was Marie Claire.

0:21:52 > 0:21:56They put together a list of men you shouldn't fancy but do.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58LAUGHTER

0:21:58 > 0:22:01That's excellent! I love it!

0:22:05 > 0:22:07In brackets, "Because you might catch something."

0:22:07 > 0:22:09LAUGHTER

0:22:09 > 0:22:11You know the person I feel sorry for?

0:22:11 > 0:22:14Other people on the list were people like Snoop Dogg but...

0:22:14 > 0:22:19You won't know who this is, but Declan Donnelly was on the list.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21But Ant wasn't even on the list.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23AUDIENCE: Aw!

0:22:23 > 0:22:26That's got to hurt. They're a double act, Ant and Dec.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29Ant and Dec! I know who they are, yeah.

0:22:29 > 0:22:31- Oh, they left him out? - Yeah, so Dec's a weird crush.

0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Ant isn't even that. - LAUGHTER

0:22:34 > 0:22:36Oh, dear.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39We must just celebrate your work in romcoms,

0:22:39 > 0:22:42cos they're such a hard thing to get right,

0:22:42 > 0:22:44and you were in a lot of really good ones.

0:22:44 > 0:22:48- Thank you.- But the thing that you are a master at

0:22:48 > 0:22:50is the romcom lean.

0:22:50 > 0:22:54- Lean, yes!- Yeah, no, seriously! - Oh, with the...

0:22:54 > 0:22:58No, he's talking about the poster.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00- Here's the classic.- OK, I think this is where it started.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03- Is that where it started? - Watch where the leans go from here.

0:23:03 > 0:23:08Yeah, so the nice lean here, then there's a variation on a lean.

0:23:08 > 0:23:13- OK.- With Jennifer Garner, your co-star in Dallas Buyers Club.

0:23:13 > 0:23:15Now, we come from the first one, How To Lose A Guy,

0:23:15 > 0:23:18also cos it makes 125 million, people start to go,

0:23:18 > 0:23:21"Hey, the lean on the poster, that's the way to go.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25"The last time you leaned, we did this amount of money,"

0:23:25 > 0:23:28so then we come back and do Ghosts, there was another lean, a big lean.

0:23:28 > 0:23:31I'm not a trained actor - I feel you overleaned.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33LAUGHTER

0:23:35 > 0:23:38APPLAUSE

0:23:38 > 0:23:43Yeah, I was really getting arrogant with the leaning at this point.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46It's very lucky she was there, actually.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49You could've really hurt yourself. "Whoa!"

0:23:49 > 0:23:51Even at your Dallas Buyers Club weight,

0:23:51 > 0:23:53- you would've flattened her. - LAUGHTER

0:23:53 > 0:23:54Very good, we'll move on.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57We must also just mention Wolf Of Wall Street,

0:23:57 > 0:24:00- which you are a genius in. - Thank you.- A lot of people...

0:24:00 > 0:24:02APPLAUSE

0:24:02 > 0:24:06A lot of people have seen that movie. It's done really well here.

0:24:06 > 0:24:08Again, it's one of those things

0:24:08 > 0:24:10that a lot of that character apparently wasn't on the page,

0:24:10 > 0:24:13it was stuff that you came up with.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Yeah, now, look, Terence Winter, the writer,

0:24:15 > 0:24:18when a writer writes a scene and gives dialogue to a character,

0:24:18 > 0:24:22and it starts off with... "They're in a five-star restaurant,

0:24:22 > 0:24:24"he pulls out a bump of coke, takes it,

0:24:24 > 0:24:28"orders martinis until they drop, then says, 'Uh...

0:24:28 > 0:24:31'Hey, young man, how many times a week do you jack off?

0:24:31 > 0:24:33'Great, and also let me tell you this,

0:24:33 > 0:24:35'the secret of this business is hookers and cocaine.'"

0:24:35 > 0:24:40Talk about the roof being taken off? I was like, "Well, who's this guy?"

0:24:40 > 0:24:43The vernacular became... The imagination ran.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46What is the thing you're doing? The banging and the humming.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49- Yeah, what's that?- What is that? Is it a meditation technique or...?

0:24:49 > 0:24:53- That's something I do before... - He's learned how.

0:24:53 > 0:24:56Hmm-hmm-hmm! I've been doing it ever since!

0:24:56 > 0:24:59You already look more successful.

0:24:59 > 0:25:04That's something I'll do before scenes to relax myself,

0:25:04 > 0:25:05to get my voice to drop.

0:25:05 > 0:25:08And I've been doing it for a while,

0:25:08 > 0:25:11just something I do to relax myself, get out of my head.

0:25:11 > 0:25:13And I was doing it before the scene,

0:25:13 > 0:25:15and then I'd start the scene, we do five takes,

0:25:15 > 0:25:17I am happy, Martin's happy, about to move on.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Before we moved on, Leonardo raised his hand,

0:25:19 > 0:25:22he goes, "Hey, hang on a second, what's that thing you were doing?"

0:25:22 > 0:25:25And I told him, and he goes, "What if you put that in the scene?"

0:25:25 > 0:25:27I was like, "Yeah, great."

0:25:27 > 0:25:31So the next scene, I started it off, then gave him my spiel,

0:25:31 > 0:25:33I didn't know if it was going to come back and it hit me in head.

0:25:33 > 0:25:35"Now get him on the same rhythm,

0:25:35 > 0:25:38"because now he understands, pass the torch."

0:25:38 > 0:25:41# Uh-huh-huh... # And then started it off.

0:25:41 > 0:25:44- And did you do it before you came out here?- No.

0:25:44 > 0:25:45On the way down the hallway,

0:25:45 > 0:25:47I was sure humming and making noises.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50I wasn't beating my chest but I was finding a rhythm.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Will you be doing it in the limo on the way to the Oscars?

0:25:53 > 0:25:55- Probably. - LAUGHTER

0:25:55 > 0:25:57I like to think of you doing it in the...

0:25:57 > 0:25:59I'll find some rhythm, it's different every...

0:25:59 > 0:26:01Look at him, he's obsessed.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04And now cocaine.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07LAUGHTER

0:26:07 > 0:26:09- Cocaine for you? Cocaine for you? - Absolutely!

0:26:09 > 0:26:13Now... Julianne Moore, Julianne Moore,

0:26:13 > 0:26:16your movie couldn't be more different, in a way,

0:26:16 > 0:26:20- to Dallas Buyers Club.- No, I know! - It's Non-Stop.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22It's a proper big Hollywood,

0:26:22 > 0:26:25seat-of-your-pants thrill-ride movie.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28It's very old-fashioned, it reminded of movies I loved as a kid,

0:26:28 > 0:26:31like Towering Inferno and Poseidon Adventure,

0:26:31 > 0:26:33where you follow a group of people into a situation

0:26:33 > 0:26:34and something's going to happen,

0:26:34 > 0:26:37you don't know what or how they're going to react

0:26:37 > 0:26:39or who the bad guy is or... you know, yeah.

0:26:39 > 0:26:42But I sit next to Liam Neeson, which is always a good idea.

0:26:42 > 0:26:44LAUGHTER

0:26:44 > 0:26:47"Where's MY seat? Oh... Oh, hi!"

0:26:47 > 0:26:50Him you should fancy, and it's absolutely right to do that.

0:26:50 > 0:26:52That's right, yeah!

0:26:52 > 0:26:54If you're going to be in an action movie,

0:26:54 > 0:26:56- who do you want to sit next to? - Yeah, who's going to save the day?

0:26:56 > 0:26:59Who's going to save the day? The guy on the poster.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01LAUGHTER

0:27:01 > 0:27:03You know, this is weird.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05It reminded me of Murder On The Orient Express.

0:27:05 > 0:27:08Exactly, the different characters, you don't know who they are.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12My character's extremely mysterious, and it's a bit of a whodunnit.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Liam Neeson plays a US Air Marshal, we're allowed to say that.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Yeah, yeah, you can, yeah.

0:27:17 > 0:27:20And, now, Liam, he's obviously a very iconic actor.

0:27:20 > 0:27:23What was the story with your daughter and Liam?

0:27:23 > 0:27:26Oh, yeah, you know, we text, we Skype, we text a lot,

0:27:26 > 0:27:28cos she's 11 and a half, so she loves to do that.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30And she was like, "Mommy, what'd you do today?"

0:27:30 > 0:27:34I said, "I spent the day with Liam," she was like, "My gosh, how fun!"

0:27:34 > 0:27:37I said, "Yeah, I have a picture, want me to send you a picture?"

0:27:37 > 0:27:40She looks at it, she texts back, "Who's that?!"

0:27:40 > 0:27:42- LAUGHTER - I said, "That's Liam."

0:27:42 > 0:27:44She goes, "No, Liam Hemsworth!"

0:27:44 > 0:27:46LAUGHTER

0:27:46 > 0:27:49I said, "That's Liam Neeson," she's like, "Who's Liam Neeson?!"

0:27:49 > 0:27:51LAUGHTER

0:27:51 > 0:27:55Listen, we've got a clip, this is you and Liam in action.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58I don't think it needs more setting up than that.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01- We're on the plane, there you go. - You're on the plane...nonstop.

0:28:01 > 0:28:03- Oh, nonstop!- Nonstop!

0:28:05 > 0:28:07Roll it.

0:28:07 > 0:28:09I've been wondering.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Why the window seat?- What?

0:28:13 > 0:28:17- What? Why the window seat? - Why did you sit next to me?

0:28:17 > 0:28:20- What?- I found a hole in the first-class toilet.

0:28:20 > 0:28:22Clear shot to the captain.

0:28:22 > 0:28:24The guy who died had one of these embedded in his skin.

0:28:26 > 0:28:27Ever seen one before?

0:28:27 > 0:28:28No.

0:28:28 > 0:28:32The toilets were locked ten minutes before the captain died.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34Five minutes before that, I saw a woman enter.

0:28:34 > 0:28:38She's 70 years old. She said you went in after her.

0:28:38 > 0:28:41And she doesn't have Alzheimer's... if you're wondering.

0:28:43 > 0:28:46Are you asking me if I saw someone else go in

0:28:46 > 0:28:48or if I killed the captain?

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- APPLAUSE - Ooh!

0:28:53 > 0:28:56- Who done it?- I know!

0:28:56 > 0:29:00See, NOW you want to see the movie!

0:29:00 > 0:29:03But you can't see it till the 28th February.

0:29:03 > 0:29:07- What?!- I know. - I know, set your alarms.

0:29:07 > 0:29:08- That's right!- Yeah.

0:29:08 > 0:29:13And, for us, when you go to see it - us, not you, us.

0:29:13 > 0:29:15It's a British airline.

0:29:15 > 0:29:20- That's right, Aqualantic, we're flying.- Yeah!- Uh-huh.

0:29:20 > 0:29:24Because it's a British airline, lots of familiar faces.

0:29:24 > 0:29:28How the mighty fall - poor old Lady Mary is now an air hostess.

0:29:28 > 0:29:32- Oh, I know! Can you imagine? - I know! Michelle Dockery.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35I guess something went terribly wrong with the inheritance.

0:29:35 > 0:29:38- She looks great in her uniform. - She does look very good.

0:29:38 > 0:29:40I spent most of the time trying to figure out

0:29:40 > 0:29:42- what was happening on Downton Abbey. - Cos you're a proper fan.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45I'd be like, "Oh, my God. (Michelle, sit over here!)"

0:29:45 > 0:29:48I'm like, "So what's he like in real life? Do you like him?

0:29:48 > 0:29:50"Is she funny? Is she nice? Is she mean?"

0:29:50 > 0:29:53And then I started trying to figure out the plot.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56We're behind in the United States, so we were in season two,

0:29:56 > 0:29:58and I'd say, "Well, what about this guy?"

0:29:58 > 0:30:00And I started thinking about Dan Stevens,

0:30:00 > 0:30:02and I noticed that Dan Stevens

0:30:02 > 0:30:05was spending a lot of time in New York City.

0:30:05 > 0:30:08- Oh, yeah.- So I said, "Come here, Michelle. I was just thinking...

0:30:08 > 0:30:10"I think he dies." And she went...

0:30:10 > 0:30:12SHE GASPS

0:30:13 > 0:30:17And she turned beet red. She's like, "No! No!"

0:30:17 > 0:30:20I said, "I won't tell anybody. I'm not going to give it away.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23"And you never said ANYTHING. Not a word."

0:30:23 > 0:30:26But don't me anything about season three - I haven't seen it yet.

0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Don't tell me.- OK. Some pigs go thirsty.- Yeah!

0:30:30 > 0:30:33Actually, you are such a big Downton... This is amazing!

0:30:33 > 0:30:36..such a big Downton Abbey fan, you've become a British citizen?

0:30:36 > 0:30:40Yeah. Well, yeah, exactly. I thought, "I've got to go..." Yeah.

0:30:40 > 0:30:43- You really have, though, haven't you?- No, I have, I have.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45My mother was from Scotland

0:30:45 > 0:30:48- so I decided to become a British citizen, yeah.- Can you just do it?

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Well, no, you know, you have to take all those tests and stuff, about the Queen.

0:30:52 > 0:30:55- Did you do the test?- No, no, there were no tests. Just kidding.

0:30:55 > 0:30:58LAUGHTER

0:30:58 > 0:31:00But there ARE tests!

0:31:04 > 0:31:08- There ARE tests!- I didn't have... Life In The United Kingdom!

0:31:08 > 0:31:10- Oh, I love that.- That's a thin book!

0:31:10 > 0:31:11Look at that!

0:31:11 > 0:31:15"Er, it's Oscar nominee Julianne Moore here."

0:31:15 > 0:31:17"Hi, could I possibly..."

0:31:17 > 0:31:18What did you do?

0:31:18 > 0:31:22So, I wanted to do it and I was in Los Angeles

0:31:22 > 0:31:24and you have your swearing-in ceremony.

0:31:24 > 0:31:26It was very, very quiet in the office

0:31:26 > 0:31:30because that was the day that William and Kate were visiting Los Angeles.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33So I went with my sister and our kids and I was sworn in.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35They were very nice. There was nobody there.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Once they said, "Congratulations, you're a British citizen,"

0:31:38 > 0:31:41they said, "Now you can come to the garden party."

0:31:41 > 0:31:44There was a garden party for William and Kate that day

0:31:44 > 0:31:47and I couldn't come before, when I was just an American,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50but once I was British I had an invitation.

0:31:50 > 0:31:54- Talk about fast-tracked! - I know, right?

0:31:54 > 0:31:55APPLAUSE

0:31:55 > 0:31:59- We've lived here all our lives. - And you didn't get invited!

0:31:59 > 0:32:02A grudging round of applause and then, "Oh, well done."

0:32:04 > 0:32:05All right, all right.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08William and Kate, free drinks. Yeah, well done(!)

0:32:08 > 0:32:12- Paying our taxes all those years. - I know, I know!

0:32:12 > 0:32:16But this is a genuine thing. Now, some of the questions...

0:32:16 > 0:32:20Like, it's odd. I mean, depending on where you're from,

0:32:20 > 0:32:23some of these questions are quite hard.

0:32:23 > 0:32:25- So, question 13 here. - Uh-oh. You'll know them.

0:32:25 > 0:32:28"What must police officers do?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31"Be rude and abusive.

0:32:31 > 0:32:33"Obey the law.

0:32:33 > 0:32:34"Make a false statement.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37"Be politically neutral."

0:32:37 > 0:32:41I mean, that's a head-scratcher, isn't it?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44On what occasion? In what context?

0:32:44 > 0:32:46They didn't mention that.

0:32:46 > 0:32:50Apparently it's "obey the law." That's the right answer.

0:32:50 > 0:32:52You could get this in your exam...

0:32:52 > 0:32:55"What are the titles of two novels by Charles Dickens?

0:32:55 > 0:32:57"A - Harry Potter."

0:32:57 > 0:32:59LAUGHTER

0:33:02 > 0:33:04Welcome, all!

0:33:05 > 0:33:07Very good. Now...

0:33:09 > 0:33:12For fans of adventure sports, it's a very great time

0:33:12 > 0:33:14because the Winter Olympics are upon us.

0:33:14 > 0:33:19And this year, the BBC have a slightly unusual face of the Olympics.

0:33:19 > 0:33:20I give you Alan Davies.

0:33:20 > 0:33:24Cos you are presenting a programme about the Winter Olympics.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27We're doing an entertainment show about the Winter Olympics

0:33:27 > 0:33:30on Friday nights throughout the... It's three weeks.

0:33:30 > 0:33:34So, yeah, I mean, don't ask me about how to do any of the sports -

0:33:34 > 0:33:36they're far too dangerous.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38Well, it's a light-hearted show.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42It's called Apres-Ski. It's very exciting, I'm sure, but people do...

0:33:42 > 0:33:45- A lot of people break legs and things.- People hurt themselves.

0:33:45 > 0:33:47These are all events where, if you get to 40,

0:33:47 > 0:33:50you really would think, "... that!"

0:33:50 > 0:33:52And, yeah, we're doing that.

0:33:52 > 0:33:54I've been skiing, I think, twice in my life

0:33:54 > 0:33:56and one of them was in Milton Keynes.

0:33:59 > 0:34:02And it's obviously a more political Olympics because of Putin.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05Yes, there is that side of it. I don't think we...

0:34:05 > 0:34:09- I don't think he's coming on our show.- No? Really?

0:34:09 > 0:34:13It's funny - we've got a bid in, as well. We're really hoping.

0:34:13 > 0:34:16- That would be a hell of a sofa! - Can you imagine?

0:34:16 > 0:34:18I have to say, if they don't want gays in the Olympics,

0:34:18 > 0:34:22they should really change some of their signage. That's all I have to say.

0:34:24 > 0:34:27APPLAUSE

0:34:32 > 0:34:35Now, the other big excitement is - we mentioned...

0:34:35 > 0:34:36Jonathan Creek, back.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Jonathan Creek's back. A new series of Jonathan Creek.

0:34:38 > 0:34:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45Yeah, we did the first series in 1996.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49And I was all set up for a Vanity Fair cover and it...

0:34:51 > 0:34:53It coincided with the first day of shooting.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01And they've got... You've got fans - I didn't know they were called this - called Creek Geeks.

0:35:01 > 0:35:04I think they call themselves Creek Geeks, to be honest with you.

0:35:04 > 0:35:07And people dress up as you now. You tweeted a picture of someone at a party.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10It is alarming but it's true.

0:35:10 > 0:35:12This is someone dressed as Jonathan Creek.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16He's the one on the left.

0:35:19 > 0:35:22He does look like he just showed up at the party and went,

0:35:22 > 0:35:23"Oh, is it fancy dress?

0:35:24 > 0:35:28"Er, I've come as... Jonathan Creek." The other guy -

0:35:28 > 0:35:32I kind of think he went all out on the padding above the waist.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35I really feel he should have...

0:35:35 > 0:35:36LAUGHTER

0:35:37 > 0:35:40- He needed one of those - what do you call 'em?- A posing pouch!

0:35:40 > 0:35:42Yes, that's what he needed.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45The other thing is, you're back on tour. Little Victories is the tour.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49Yeah, my new stand-up show, starting in March in Australia, and then...

0:35:49 > 0:35:53- Do you like that poster? - Are you upside down?

0:35:53 > 0:35:56I had to go to Tibet for four years to learn to levitate.

0:35:58 > 0:36:01- I jumped in the air and they took the picture.- Oh, is that all?

0:36:01 > 0:36:04It's camera work. So you start in Australia?

0:36:04 > 0:36:06Start in Australia in March and I'm doing dates in the UK in April

0:36:06 > 0:36:08and more in the autumn, but we start quite soon.

0:36:08 > 0:36:13- And what are the little victories? - The small moments in life when something goes right.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16I'll give you an example. My little girl, when she was about 18 months old,

0:36:16 > 0:36:18was sleeping on top of me

0:36:18 > 0:36:23and I heard the noise that she makes in her throat when she's going to throw up.

0:36:23 > 0:36:28So I knew she was going to throw up and I avoided it and it hit the pillow. That's a little victory.

0:36:28 > 0:36:31LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:36:31 > 0:36:33Now...

0:36:33 > 0:36:39it's time for some music. This woman has sold 35 million records.

0:36:39 > 0:36:43She's won nine Grammys. She's back with a new album, Feels Like Home.

0:36:43 > 0:36:46Performing her new single Easy, it is Sheryl Crow, everybody.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:37:01 > 0:37:05# We said this summer we'd go down to Cancun

0:37:06 > 0:37:11# But no money makes that kinda hard to do

0:37:12 > 0:37:16# Forget the beach - I'd rather be here with you

0:38:03 > 0:38:07# We'll play Jack Johnson He's the new Don Ho

0:38:10 > 0:38:13# Surf the radio

0:39:03 > 0:39:07# And make love

0:40:53 > 0:40:55And I texted Matthew.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57I said, "I don't know if this is your number any more..."

0:40:57 > 0:41:01I just cannot believe it. I don't know if you all have seen it yet. You HAVE to go see this movie.

0:41:16 > 0:41:19- Now, is it your first full country album?- Yeah.

0:41:19 > 0:41:23- And is this a one-off or is this the new...- This is it.

0:41:23 > 0:41:26- This is totally it.- It's country for ever?- Actually, you know what?

0:41:26 > 0:41:29- I feel like I've been doing country for ever.- It's a subtle shift.

0:41:29 > 0:41:32- It's not...- A subtle shit?!

0:41:32 > 0:41:35- A very subtle shit! - Yeah, you can hardly smell it.

0:41:35 > 0:41:37You can hardly smell it. It's...

0:41:38 > 0:41:41No, a subtle SHIFT.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44Shift. Don't look for trouble where there's none!

0:41:47 > 0:41:51- Well, we like it.- Oh, I'm glad. Thank you.- It's really lovely. Thank you very much.

0:41:51 > 0:41:56So, listen, we're nearly out of time but we do have time for a story or two in the red chair before we go.

0:41:56 > 0:41:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:58 > 0:42:00OK. So, who's up first?

0:42:00 > 0:42:02- Hello.- Hello!

0:42:02 > 0:42:06- You look lost in thought there. - Yeah.- Yeah.

0:42:06 > 0:42:07- What's your name?- Afrosa.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11- Afrosa - lovely. And where do you live?- I live in Essex.- Oh, lovely.

0:42:11 > 0:42:13CHEERING

0:42:13 > 0:42:15Oh, look. Sheryl Crow applauded it, yeah.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17Sheryl Crow's all over it. And what do you do in Essex?

0:42:17 > 0:42:21- I am a physiotherapist. - She IS a physiotherapist.

0:42:21 > 0:42:26That sounded great. "Tonight, Matthew, I AM a physiotherapist."

0:42:28 > 0:42:30OK, off you go with your story.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32So, I was in school and we had a church service

0:42:32 > 0:42:36and part of the church service was that we had to light about 35 candles

0:42:36 > 0:42:40and the reverend asked me, cos I was a prefect at the time.

0:42:40 > 0:42:45And I went to go light the candles but I must've been given a faulty taper,

0:42:45 > 0:42:47because it clearly wasn't lighting the tea lights,

0:42:47 > 0:42:53and the taper just started lighting itself and the flame just got even bigger and bigger.

0:42:53 > 0:42:56And I tried to shake the taper like a sparkler to make it go away

0:42:56 > 0:42:58but it just made the flames even bigger.

0:42:58 > 0:43:01So in a panic, I dropped the taper on the floor.

0:43:01 > 0:43:06- And I should have mentioned that as a prefect, you have to wear, like, a Harry Potter gown-type thing.- Oh!

0:43:06 > 0:43:09And as I dropped the taper, my gown caught on fire.

0:43:10 > 0:43:14I had to disrobe in front of the whole school and Jesus and God...

0:43:14 > 0:43:16LAUGHTER

0:43:16 > 0:43:18- ..and run behind the altar. - Good story!

0:43:18 > 0:43:22We'll let her walk. Yeah! That was a good story.
