0:00:02 > 0:00:04On the show tonight, the stars of the new X-Men film,

0:00:04 > 0:00:06so I've got my Wolverine claws.

0:00:06 > 0:00:08Actually, while they run the titles, I'll just nip to the loo.

0:00:08 > 0:00:11Oh! Would you mind helping me?

0:00:11 > 0:00:12Would you? No?

0:00:12 > 0:00:14Let's start the show!

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Oh, so sweet.

0:00:39 > 0:00:44Hello, good evening, welcome one, welcome all.

0:00:44 > 0:00:47A great line-up for you tonight. In fact, it's "Xtra" special.

0:00:47 > 0:00:51Oscar-nominated star of Les Mis, the incredible Hugh Jackman is here!

0:00:51 > 0:00:53- AUDIENCE CHEERS - I know!

0:00:54 > 0:00:58Star of Prometheus, Inglourious Basterds, and 12 Years A Slave,

0:00:58 > 0:01:01the fabulous Michael Fassbender is here!

0:01:04 > 0:01:07Plus, the star of Filth, Atonement and The Last King Of Scotland,

0:01:07 > 0:01:11the brilliant James McAvoy is with us.

0:01:11 > 0:01:12Yeah!

0:01:15 > 0:01:21Plus, it is Eurovision time again. Yes, it is.

0:01:21 > 0:01:26So, we'll be hearing this year's British entry from Molly, everybody!

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Cheer her on! Cheer her on!

0:01:30 > 0:01:33Molly, Molly, Molly!

0:01:33 > 0:01:37I don't know why people dismiss Eurovision

0:01:37 > 0:01:40as a load of camp nonsense, I don't!

0:01:40 > 0:01:44In fairness, this year, some serious entries.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46Take Iceland, for example.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52Eh-oh! Maybe not Iceland.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57What about Austria? Beautiful!

0:01:58 > 0:02:02Did you...? Was there a little...?

0:02:02 > 0:02:05A little more powder, she'll be fine!

0:02:05 > 0:02:08I've got so many questions to ask this evening.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Obviously I'll ask Hugh Jackman about the challenge of playing Wolverine,

0:02:11 > 0:02:15a man with titanium spikes growing out of his knuckles.

0:02:15 > 0:02:17Still, it comes in handy in his other job.

0:02:20 > 0:02:22Apparently he can do six lamb koftas at once!

0:02:22 > 0:02:27Chilli sauce, anyone?

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Pop a shirt on!

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Hopefully I'll be finding out from Michael Fassbender

0:02:35 > 0:02:37why his fans call him The Shark.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40Apparently it's because of his smile.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Really, is that like a shark? Is it?

0:02:45 > 0:02:46It's quite like a shark.

0:02:46 > 0:02:50Have you heard about this weird bromance between James McAvoy

0:02:50 > 0:02:55and Michael Fassbender? The fans love it.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58They've drawn these rather sweet pictures of them.

0:02:58 > 0:03:03For example, here they are sharing a strawberry Calippo.

0:03:05 > 0:03:09There's James and he's just going to offer Michael a suck.

0:03:09 > 0:03:13Not so sure. Here they are helping each other with their costumes.

0:03:16 > 0:03:20Hey, who hasn't done that? Here they are just doing some baking together.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26Don't forget to wash your hands!

0:03:26 > 0:03:30All that's to come, plus some more stories from the Big Red Chair,

0:03:30 > 0:03:32so let's get some guests on!

0:03:33 > 0:03:38He's got the X Factor, it's James McAvoy, everybody!

0:03:41 > 0:03:43Hello, sir. Lovely to see you. Sit, sit, sit.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48Here's Michael Fassbender!

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Hello, sir. How nice to see you.

0:03:54 > 0:03:59And it's Hugh Jackman!

0:04:03 > 0:04:04Lovely to see you.

0:04:09 > 0:04:10Sit!

0:04:12 > 0:04:16AUDIENCE CHEER

0:04:18 > 0:04:23Thank you for the fruit. Pineapple, anyone?

0:04:23 > 0:04:27- This is like deja vu. - What, the fruit?

0:04:27 > 0:04:29No, talking about pineapple for 20 minutes.

0:04:29 > 0:04:31The last time I was on your show,

0:04:31 > 0:04:33apparently it improves the flavour of your sperm

0:04:33 > 0:04:36and we spent about 25 minutes talking about this.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38We've been on air for a second!

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Apparently celery increases it.

0:04:40 > 0:04:43Increases the count.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48If only I had a pen, I'd write some of this down!

0:04:49 > 0:04:51So, all X-Men together.

0:04:51 > 0:04:56Walking onto a chat show, the music goes and on you come,

0:04:56 > 0:05:01but is it true, on set, you would play music when you came on set?

0:05:01 > 0:05:04I don't know if you know this about Michael.

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Michael is one of those actors you have to coax out of the trailer.

0:05:07 > 0:05:09He will wait in there for hours and hours.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12He's very difficult, very ornery on set,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14so to get him out, there was really only one song,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17so I used to get the sound guy to play it very loud in the studio

0:05:17 > 0:05:21as he came in, just so he could get his mojo up.

0:05:21 > 0:05:25Actually, it was Blurred Lines. Do you guys know Blurred Lines?

0:05:25 > 0:05:28I don't know what it was about that song or video that got Michael going.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32- Do you want to come back on again to Blurred Lines?- OK.

0:05:35 > 0:05:37OK, all do it!

0:05:40 > 0:05:43OK, so we'd be like, Michael, Michael, Michael,

0:05:43 > 0:05:45come on, we've got a shoot.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Michael, come on.

0:05:49 > 0:05:56MUSIC: "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke

0:06:12 > 0:06:15Very good, well done!

0:06:18 > 0:06:24- It did the trick every time! - I feel good.

0:06:25 > 0:06:29- I'd love to see you doing that dance in the outfit!- Which one?

0:06:29 > 0:06:33- The lack of outfit! - We did that movie!

0:06:33 > 0:06:36The odd thing is, I don't know if this is true,

0:06:36 > 0:06:40but apparently it's not the only music that you really love.

0:06:40 > 0:06:44I've heard there's a particular song that is very special to you, Michael Fassbender.

0:06:44 > 0:06:46Sure. What is it?

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Apparently you know all the words.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51- HE HUMS TUNE - Yes!

0:06:51 > 0:06:55I don't know all the words, but I can do the synthesiser.

0:06:55 > 0:06:57I can jump in on some of the words.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00HE HUMS TUNE

0:07:02 > 0:07:05In case you don't recognise it, it's Africa by Toto.

0:07:11 > 0:07:14THEY HUM ALONG WITH MUSIC

0:07:18 > 0:07:21It's like I'm at a wedding with my two uncles!

0:07:23 > 0:07:25Come on!

0:07:33 > 0:07:37# He's waiting there for you! #

0:07:44 > 0:07:47It goes on for ages, the intro.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49Here's the thing, the three gentlemen on my couch,

0:07:49 > 0:07:52a few weeks ago they were at the Empire Film Awards.

0:07:52 > 0:07:53You all got a prize.

0:07:53 > 0:07:55Here's the exciting thing,

0:07:55 > 0:08:00all three of the men also appeared on Empire's Sexiest Man of the Year poll.

0:08:03 > 0:08:06We are literally sitting on the poll?

0:08:06 > 0:08:07Where on the poll?

0:08:07 > 0:08:09Who was top of the poll?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12I'm 45. Which year are we talking about?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15- This one, the most recent one. - I'm down, I'm way down.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18James, where do you think you were?

0:08:18 > 0:08:23Were you ahead of these two, or below these two?

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- Good game, good game. - You came to me first, didn't you?

0:08:26 > 0:08:29If you could spend four hours with me and I could get you drunk,

0:08:29 > 0:08:30I'd be topping that poll!

0:08:33 > 0:08:38I'm going to hedge my bets, I'm going to be humble and say last.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40And you're right!

0:08:45 > 0:08:49You guys! It's over!

0:08:49 > 0:08:52According to my wife, you are not at the bottom of that list.

0:08:53 > 0:08:57- My wife has a serious crush on James. - Serious?

0:08:57 > 0:09:00It's actually serious.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04You were 16th.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08You two, what do you reckon? Who was top of these two?

0:09:08 > 0:09:13- I will go third and... - The old man on the end here?

0:09:13 > 0:09:17I'm seeing second or fifth, that's what I'm seeing.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21- That's nice of you. - You're saying second and fifth?

0:09:21 > 0:09:24Second or fifth for you, and third definitely for him.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30You're wrong!

0:09:30 > 0:09:34I'll tell you now. Hugh was ninth.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I was going to say ninth.

0:09:36 > 0:09:41- And he was sixth?- No.- Third?- No.

0:09:41 > 0:09:46- He's eighth.- What?

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Can I just say, and this is no offence to the man,

0:09:48 > 0:09:51because I do like him enormously,

0:09:51 > 0:09:53but the whole poll is made a mockery of,

0:09:53 > 0:09:57because apparently Benedict Cumberbatch is the first.

0:09:57 > 0:09:59There you go. No, I'm sorry.

0:09:59 > 0:10:01Look at that couch!

0:10:01 > 0:10:03Look at that couch.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Benedict Cumberbatch, he's a very nice, man,

0:10:05 > 0:10:07he's a very good actor, but no.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- No!- Where were you? Where were you, Graham?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14I was at home reading.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17- And when I say "reading"... - Very sexy!

0:10:23 > 0:10:25No, I read a lot too, don't worry.

0:10:27 > 0:10:31Hey, listen, you're all here for X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

0:10:31 > 0:10:37Now, this is the second prequel. It opens on the 22nd of May.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40Before we talk a bit, here is a taste of the action.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Use your power. Bring the X-Men together.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54It's going to take the two of us, side-by-side,

0:10:54 > 0:10:56at a time when we couldn't be further apart.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02There is a new enemy out there. Mutants.

0:11:02 > 0:11:04You'll need a new weapon for this war.

0:11:04 > 0:11:07I know what I have to do. It's us or them.

0:11:09 > 0:11:10CHEERING

0:11:15 > 0:11:17They love it. They love it. They love it.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- You guys are... - HE LAUGHS

0:11:19 > 0:11:21OK, so obviously you had a lot of fun making the film.

0:11:21 > 0:11:25But getting ready for this thing sounds quite gruelling,

0:11:25 > 0:11:27particularly for you, Hugh.

0:11:27 > 0:11:28- Yeah.- I mean, what does it take?

0:11:28 > 0:11:30Please call me Wolverine. Yep.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- It is easier.- It is easier.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35"You Hugh". "You Hugh".

0:11:35 > 0:11:38So how hard is it to become like that?

0:11:38 > 0:11:39It's a minimum six months,

0:11:39 > 0:11:42and I luckily had Wolverine, the movie,

0:11:42 > 0:11:44which I finished about six months before,

0:11:44 > 0:11:46so I'd been going for about a year and a half.

0:11:46 > 0:11:47And it takes me that long.

0:11:47 > 0:11:49I stupidly, on X-Men I,

0:11:49 > 0:11:51honestly thought it was about three or four weeks,

0:11:51 > 0:11:54and if you ever look at a picture of me in X-Men I,

0:11:54 > 0:11:56you'll see why I looked pretty crap.

0:11:56 > 0:11:58You look amazing by the time you do your first scene.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01Yes, which the first scene was five months later,

0:12:01 > 0:12:02which Bryan pushed to the end.

0:12:02 > 0:12:04So it takes a long time, a lot of...

0:12:04 > 0:12:05We used to train together.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Yeah, I mean, the discipline's incredible.

0:12:08 > 0:12:13I mean, he's up in the gym at, like, 4.30 in the morning.

0:12:13 > 0:12:15You know, it's, like, every morning.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18So, when we arrived... Seriously, though.

0:12:18 > 0:12:20When we arrived, it was the Jackman effect,

0:12:20 > 0:12:23because we all started training then to try and keep up.

0:12:23 > 0:12:25No, because we know it's real,

0:12:25 > 0:12:27because you've tweeted pictures of yourself training.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29- Look at this.- That is ridiculous.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Look at that. And I like your little motto at the end here.

0:12:35 > 0:12:37Oh!

0:12:43 > 0:12:48Is that how you get to number eight?

0:12:48 > 0:12:49Is that how you get to number eight?

0:12:49 > 0:12:51No, that's... I've literally just dropped to,

0:12:51 > 0:12:55out of 100 right there, I'm down 183.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58But the thing is, if you have to look like that,

0:12:58 > 0:13:00the pressure is there.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Was it the Wolverine origin movie

0:13:03 > 0:13:06that you had to do the running naked down the corridor?

0:13:06 > 0:13:08- No, that was X-Men II.- X-Men II.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11Yeah. No, actually, first day of X-Men Origins, I ran naked.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I seem to... I quite enjoy it, really.

0:13:14 > 0:13:18It's a very freeing feeling, actually.

0:13:18 > 0:13:22Take your clothes off. It's wonderful. Shall we do it? No.

0:13:22 > 0:13:23CHEERING

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Oh, a running gag.

0:13:31 > 0:13:36So...I remember we had to go down this hallway, and I had to run.

0:13:36 > 0:13:40I was meant to be naked, and it was very dark.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44I jokingly went in and said, "I want a closed set for this".

0:13:44 > 0:13:47The 1st AD was laughing. Anyway, we did the first take.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50I'm running. It's a very intense scene where I first realised

0:13:50 > 0:13:51I had an Adamantium skeleton,

0:13:51 > 0:13:53I'd been experimented on,

0:13:53 > 0:13:55I'm naked, there's blood. I'm like, "Arggh".

0:13:55 > 0:13:56And as I run around the corner,

0:13:56 > 0:13:59the 1st AD had the entire crew of females -

0:13:59 > 0:14:04all the females on the crew - with 5 notes going, "Whoo!"

0:14:05 > 0:14:08And, of course, the first thing I did was, like, "Ohhh!"

0:14:10 > 0:14:12I cut myself on the inner thigh.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14I saw them, and like, "Ohhh!"

0:14:14 > 0:14:15When you say the "inner thigh",

0:14:15 > 0:14:18do you actually mean the thigh?

0:14:18 > 0:14:19Thankfully.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22DIY circumcision.

0:14:25 > 0:14:26It's obviously PG-13,

0:14:26 > 0:14:29so you can't have bits and pieces flying about, right?

0:14:29 > 0:14:32The censors in America don't like that kind of stuff.

0:14:33 > 0:14:38As my wrap gift from Bryan Singer, the director, he gave me a bag.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40It was a little bag, and it was very light.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43I looked inside, and it had film inside it.

0:14:43 > 0:14:44I'm, like, "What's this film?"

0:14:44 > 0:14:47I look up... "OK. That's my bits".

0:14:47 > 0:14:49My bits in bits. That was it.

0:14:49 > 0:14:51So, you've got the classic claws.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54Then the boys have also come up with their signature poses.

0:14:54 > 0:14:57So, James, yours is the finger.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Fingering my brain.- Yeah.

0:15:00 > 0:15:05Was there much discussion about that?

0:15:05 > 0:15:07Or did you just go, "I'll do this"?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10No, I just did it. I thought, "Patrick never did it."

0:15:10 > 0:15:12He's missed a beat.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16"That old fool!"

0:15:16 > 0:15:19There's a lot of... When he utilises his power,

0:15:19 > 0:15:22there's a lot of close-ups of him going...

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Like that. And I thought, "That's not dynamic.

0:15:25 > 0:15:28"But you know what is? This."

0:15:29 > 0:15:31- APPLAUSE - That's how it began.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37And I thought to myself, "If I'm aiming for number 16,

0:15:37 > 0:15:40"that's the route - that's how we get there."

0:15:40 > 0:15:43Did you and Patrick discuss it? Is Patrick a bit miffed

0:15:43 > 0:15:46that now you've come up with a bit of a dynamic action?

0:15:46 > 0:15:48The fingering myself move? No.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50He's happy not to finger himself.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52But he has said

0:15:52 > 0:15:55that if I would like to ever finger him...

0:15:55 > 0:15:58..and place my fingers on his head...

0:15:58 > 0:16:01- Yes.- ..then I can.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04- In this movie, you get to meet Patrick.- I do.

0:16:04 > 0:16:06I get to go nose-to-nose with Patrick Stewart.

0:16:06 > 0:16:09Did you have to be much more conscious...?

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Because in the first film, that was never going to happen.

0:16:11 > 0:16:13So, in this one, were you much more conscious of,

0:16:13 > 0:16:16"I'm going to have to turn into Patrick Stewart in a minute"?

0:16:16 > 0:16:19No, I was kind of ignoring the fact that anybody else had ever played it,

0:16:19 > 0:16:21and even when I was going face-to-face with him,

0:16:21 > 0:16:25I was still trying to pretend it was only ever me that's ever going to play the part.

0:16:25 > 0:16:26He's being modest.

0:16:26 > 0:16:28By the way, it was his first day,

0:16:28 > 0:16:30and he had about a three-page scene,

0:16:30 > 0:16:32one of the pivotal scenes in the movie,

0:16:32 > 0:16:33and it was phenomenal.

0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm at that point meant to be unconscious,

0:16:35 > 0:16:36and I knew I was on camera,

0:16:36 > 0:16:38so I was doing one of those - looking -

0:16:38 > 0:16:40and he is absolutely brilliant.

0:16:40 > 0:16:41- Thanks.- Your first day was...

0:16:41 > 0:16:44Honestly, you should clap him, because he is a genius.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45CHEERING

0:16:48 > 0:16:50Seriously, though.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54Seriously, though, you should clap it, because it is good.

0:16:54 > 0:16:55LAUGHTER

0:16:55 > 0:16:57Michael, were you the same?

0:16:57 > 0:16:58Were you kind of thinking,

0:16:58 > 0:17:01"Oh, God, Ian McKellen - in a minute, it's going to be him"?

0:17:01 > 0:17:03- Yeah.- The voice and stuff?

0:17:03 > 0:17:07Yeah, well, I just sort of steal. I stole everything from him, and...

0:17:07 > 0:17:10No, I didn't actually get to do a scene with him.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11We had to toss a coin -

0:17:11 > 0:17:15it was either me and Ian, or James and Patrick.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17So, I just got to meet him in Comic-Con.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21But I'd spent quite a lot of time watching...

0:17:21 > 0:17:22Really?

0:17:22 > 0:17:24There's a clip of him on YouTube

0:17:24 > 0:17:28giving, actually, a workshop on Shakespeare,

0:17:28 > 0:17:30on The Scottish Play,

0:17:30 > 0:17:32which I've just finished now,

0:17:32 > 0:17:34so it was kind of weird.

0:17:34 > 0:17:36But I just listened to that on a loop.

0:17:36 > 0:17:39It's about ten minutes long, and it's a younger Ian McKellen.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42And tell us about your signature pose.

0:17:42 > 0:17:44Did you discuss it, or did you just come up with it yourself?

0:17:44 > 0:17:47I just thought, you know, I figured jazz hands

0:17:47 > 0:17:52combined with a suitable level of constipation.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54I thought that would be the correct intensity.

0:17:54 > 0:17:56Can I just say, you're not that wrong?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Here is a picture of you doing it. - Yeah, I know I'm not wrong.

0:17:58 > 0:18:01- That's what I was doing, dude. - It does look like jazz hands.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04You can't see - I'm actually sitting on a toilet.

0:18:04 > 0:18:07- You've cropped the rest of this. - "Where's the toilet paper?"

0:18:07 > 0:18:10My face really is, like, "Ugh, ugh. That's not good."

0:18:10 > 0:18:13You're sitting going, "It's working, it's working."

0:18:13 > 0:18:15"I can see the turtle's head."

0:18:15 > 0:18:17AUDIENCE MEMBERS GROAN

0:18:17 > 0:18:19No, I like James's face. James does look...

0:18:19 > 0:18:21"Yep, it's working."

0:18:23 > 0:18:25And Michael does look like he could burst into song at any time.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27MUSIC: "Africa" by Toto.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30# Hurry, boy It's waiting there for you... #

0:18:37 > 0:18:41And, now, Wolverine, he in no way gets younger.

0:18:43 > 0:18:45- The illusion is complete. - Wolfy. Wolfy.

0:18:45 > 0:18:47They call me Wolfy.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- Wolfy!- "Wolverine. Wolverine." "I'm not a wolf, I'm a Wolverine."

0:18:51 > 0:18:52"What?"

0:18:52 > 0:18:56There's no end of disrespect on the set.

0:18:56 > 0:18:57Nick Hoult was the best.

0:18:57 > 0:19:01The first day of shooting, remember the very first shot in that trailer,

0:19:01 > 0:19:03in that blue hallway, and Nick Hoult came on.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05It's his first day, and he goes, "Oh, man, I'm freaking out."

0:19:05 > 0:19:08I said, "What, man? It's OK, we're just doing a scene."

0:19:08 > 0:19:11"No, I'm freaking out, man, because I saw you walk down this hall,

0:19:11 > 0:19:13"and I was such a fan - I was, like, eight years old."

0:19:13 > 0:19:14I said, "Stop right there!

0:19:16 > 0:19:18"No more stories.

0:19:18 > 0:19:19"Don't talk to me again."

0:19:19 > 0:19:21"Sorry, Wolfy."

0:19:22 > 0:19:25I read that you felt you had to keep up with the kids.

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Yeah, I did feel like the uncle.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29You all look the same age. You do look all the same age.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Yeah, I've had plastic surgery here myself.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33Me too. I got these lines put in.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37To match Ian McKellen.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41- Exactly.- Wonderful!

0:19:41 > 0:19:43Yeah, no, I did feel like the old man.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47I mean, these guys were running around the trailer park -

0:19:47 > 0:19:50we call it "trailer park" because there were literally, like, 100 little caravans -

0:19:50 > 0:19:52shooting each other with BB guns.

0:19:52 > 0:19:55Awesome! They're amazing!

0:19:55 > 0:19:58Until you shot one of the actors in the face, and he started to bleed.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00If you watch the film really carefully...

0:20:00 > 0:20:03We're all going to have a mark somewhere at some point.

0:20:03 > 0:20:05We were all crack shots at one time or another.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07There's an actor called Josh Helman, who played Striker,

0:20:07 > 0:20:09the young Striker.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12He was coming after me. He had it coming, man.

0:20:12 > 0:20:13As I was running away,

0:20:13 > 0:20:15I flicked one off behind me, so to speak...

0:20:15 > 0:20:16LAUGHTER

0:20:19 > 0:20:21I just popped it off, like that.

0:20:21 > 0:20:23And it struck him right there, and it broke his skin.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26I got told off by his fiancee.

0:20:28 > 0:20:29I didn't tell anybody this.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32She came round to my trailer and she was like, "Hey, how you doing?

0:20:32 > 0:20:35"I'm Josh's fiancee. I heard that, like, you shot him in the face and things.

0:20:35 > 0:20:36"You know, that's not cool."

0:20:36 > 0:20:39I was like, "Oh, yeah, no, it was just a bit of fun."

0:20:39 > 0:20:42She was like, "No, really, man, it's not.

0:20:42 > 0:20:46"James, take it down a minute. It's really not cool."

0:20:46 > 0:20:48I was like, "Oh, yeah, just a bit of fun and that."

0:20:48 > 0:20:51"No, James, it's really not cool."

0:20:51 > 0:20:55"Oh, right. Oh, right. OK. I'm just going to go and phone my wife and cry a bit."

0:20:55 > 0:20:57LAUGHTER

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- It was Josh, Nick and James and they had me trapped...- And him.

0:21:01 > 0:21:04Yeah, but not on that particular day.

0:21:04 > 0:21:07They had me trapped in my trailer. It was like Ned Kelly. He was

0:21:07 > 0:21:11trying to come in the skylight in the roof.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15I heard this tampering in the roof. The next thing, he's trying to come in the skylight.

0:21:15 > 0:21:20- They had other games. They had the punching game.- What is that?

0:21:20 > 0:21:22- Shall we illustrate?- Yeah. - I'm not looking.

0:21:22 > 0:21:26- I'm not going to look.- Do you want some of my drink?

0:21:26 > 0:21:29No, cos it's one of those stupid games. You'll punch me!

0:21:29 > 0:21:32Where's the fun in that?

0:21:32 > 0:21:35- Anyone?- What? Yeah, I just caught that one.

0:21:35 > 0:21:40- There you go.- He's looked, so I go...

0:21:40 > 0:21:42Oh!

0:21:42 > 0:21:45Where's the fun in that?

0:21:45 > 0:21:49He's like Andy Murray trying to close out Wimbledon.

0:21:49 > 0:21:54- He's like...- You go like that and give it, "smack", and get a good punch.

0:21:54 > 0:21:59I came up with this sort of thing here, which seems to work really well.

0:22:01 > 0:22:04But it's just, "Ow." Do we have the picture of your bruise?

0:22:04 > 0:22:08I e-mailed it because I was so proud of it.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12- That was the comeuppance.- Look at the look in his eye.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15It's like, "I'm going to get you tomorrow."

0:22:17 > 0:22:19I put too much into a punch with you.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22- We'd hit each other hard, but not too hard.- Well, no.

0:22:22 > 0:22:24We'd hit each other not too hard.

0:22:24 > 0:22:26We were always like...

0:22:26 > 0:22:31I thought, "I'm going to nail Hugh, and because I'm smaller than him, he won't nail me back."

0:22:31 > 0:22:36But he did nail me back and I ended up with that big bruise.

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Again, no fun in that.

0:22:38 > 0:22:43If you want to crack into the top ten sexiest, you can't punch too hard, right?

0:22:47 > 0:22:48One day, mate, one day.

0:22:48 > 0:22:51APPLAUSE

0:22:52 > 0:22:57So, we have another clip from X-Men: Days Of Future Past.

0:22:57 > 0:23:03This is the Professor and Magneto having an altercation on a plane.

0:23:04 > 0:23:09- How did you lose them?- The treatment for my spine affects my DNA.

0:23:09 > 0:23:11You sacrificed your power so you could walk.

0:23:11 > 0:23:13What do you know about it?

0:23:13 > 0:23:17- I've lost my fair share. - Dry your eyes.

0:23:17 > 0:23:21- It doesn't justify what you've done. - You've no idea what I've done.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24I know you took the things that mean the most to me.

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- Maybe you should have fought harder for them.- If you want to fight,

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- I will give you a fight. - Sit down.- Let him go.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34You abandoned me. You took her away and abandoned me.

0:23:34 > 0:23:40Angel, Azazel, Emma, Banshee.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45Mutant brothers and sisters, you abandoned us all.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50We were supposed to protect them.

0:23:50 > 0:23:51Erik!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02So, you were always an asshole.

0:24:04 > 0:24:10Excellent. Very good. Beautifully done. Beautifully done.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13On set, was there any sort of...?

0:24:13 > 0:24:16Because earlier you mentioned The Scottish Play, so can we not

0:24:16 > 0:24:20- say the M word?- You can say it. - I can say it. You can say it. We can all say it.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21I don't say it any more.

0:24:21 > 0:24:26I started saying it, but, yeah, just some things started to happen.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28Macbeth. Macbeth. Fine. Great.

0:24:28 > 0:24:31- Do you not say it, either? - I don't say it either.

0:24:31 > 0:24:35I thought you could just not say it in a theatre. I thought you could say it here.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Macbeth, Macbeth.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40Light falls on your head!

0:24:40 > 0:24:44You both... You did it on stage and you've finished the film.

0:24:44 > 0:24:49- Yeah.- We've both Macbethed.- And Ian McKellen must have Macbethed.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52- And Hugh's doing it next. - Yes. It's a musical.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55- Are you all signed up? - Yes. It's a musical.

0:24:55 > 0:24:58LAUGHTER

0:24:58 > 0:25:01# Is this a dagger I see before me? #

0:25:01 > 0:25:02LAUGHTER

0:25:06 > 0:25:08I'm really excited.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10I'm really excited by the title I've just come up with -

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Macbeth The Musical.

0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's called Something Wick-skid This Way Comes.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16LAUGHTER

0:25:21 > 0:25:23Now, you, on Broadway, you did The Boy From Oz, which I saw and

0:25:23 > 0:25:26just thought was brilliant, but you encouraged the audience, didn't you?

0:25:26 > 0:25:29There was ten minutes every night of ad-libbing.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31CHEERING

0:25:31 > 0:25:32# I bless the rain... #

0:25:32 > 0:25:33No.

0:25:34 > 0:25:35So, it ended up...

0:25:35 > 0:25:39The character Peter, who most of you guys don't know, very flamboyant

0:25:39 > 0:25:42and very naughty, so I got to do stuff I normally would never do.

0:25:42 > 0:25:46There was this ten-minute period of ad-libbing every night,

0:25:46 > 0:25:48so I would get some of the weirdest things.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52I remember one night, this woman came running down the front.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54"Peter, Peter, Peter." From the back,

0:25:54 > 0:25:57she came right down to the front and took her top off.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01So massive were her breasts.

0:26:03 > 0:26:06Massive. And not in the fake way massive. Like, massive.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11They almost were resting on the conductor's head.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13You got the visual.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17Another night as I was doing it, I just heard out of the corner of my...

0:26:17 > 0:26:20the back of my... Where? Where did I hear it out of?

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- I heard this thing.- You heard it.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27..this woman say, "Peter, I want to bite your ass."

0:26:29 > 0:26:31I stopped and I said, "Really?"

0:26:31 > 0:26:33She goes, "Yeah, I want to bite your ass."

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I said, "All right, then, sweets, come on down here."

0:26:36 > 0:26:37So, she comes down, I'm thinking,

0:26:37 > 0:26:39"When she gets down there, I've called her bluff,

0:26:39 > 0:26:43"she's going to just not do it." I literally go, "All right then..."

0:26:43 > 0:26:45And she bit into my ass.

0:26:45 > 0:26:47LAUGHTER

0:26:47 > 0:26:49I had literally...like a welt.

0:26:49 > 0:26:51"What the...? What?"

0:26:51 > 0:26:54She was like, "You said I could."

0:26:54 > 0:26:56There you go, I learnt my lesson.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03Now, Michael, I know you want to mention your movie Frank.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07- That's out next Friday.- Yes. - Now, are we sure you're in it?

0:27:09 > 0:27:10I know, it was handy.

0:27:10 > 0:27:11LAUGHTER

0:27:11 > 0:27:13If I didn't come out of the trailer,

0:27:13 > 0:27:16they just stuck somebody else there with a head on.

0:27:16 > 0:27:18You could have sent your assistant. Do you talk?

0:27:20 > 0:27:23- I do, yeah.- Inside the head? - Inside the head, yeah.

0:27:23 > 0:27:27In fact...I'd love to do everything in the head...

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Acting-wise, I mean.

0:27:30 > 0:27:31It's...

0:27:31 > 0:27:32LAUGHTER

0:27:37 > 0:27:43- So, yeah. It was great fun. I got to do some singing as well.- Singing?

0:27:45 > 0:27:48BOTH: # It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you... #

0:27:48 > 0:27:49Oh, Christ.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53# More than a hundred men could ever do... #

0:27:53 > 0:27:57We just went so out of the top ten right there. Oh, dear.

0:27:57 > 0:28:00Now, listen, I mentioned in the monologue this thing

0:28:00 > 0:28:04about the bromance between James and Michael, which presumably...

0:28:04 > 0:28:09- Is that all based on X-Men? Is that where that comes from?- I think so.

0:28:09 > 0:28:11It was this one night, right.

0:28:11 > 0:28:12LAUGHTER

0:28:12 > 0:28:16- One night.- A few too many Tia Marias, do you know what I mean?

0:28:16 > 0:28:18No, but like all great relationships,

0:28:18 > 0:28:21- the fans have given it names. Do you know these names?- No.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23OK. Some call it McFassey.

0:28:24 > 0:28:26OK.

0:28:26 > 0:28:29Others call it, I quite like this, Fassavoy.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31- Fassavoy?- Fassavoy.- I'm liking that.

0:28:31 > 0:28:33Or, of course, the classic, MacBender.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36LAUGHTER

0:28:36 > 0:28:38- That's the one.- That's the name of Macbeth The Musical.

0:28:38 > 0:28:39MacBender.

0:28:39 > 0:28:41SPEECH DROWNED OUT BY LAUGHTER

0:28:41 > 0:28:43- Our franchise.- MacBender.

0:28:43 > 0:28:48- Have you seen...? Have you guys seen the fan art?- No.

0:28:48 > 0:28:51- Seriously?- Well, I saw something you showed us when we were back there.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53Yes, I showed that, but there's other ones. This is nice.

0:28:53 > 0:28:54Was that what you were reading?

0:28:54 > 0:28:56That's nice.

0:28:56 > 0:28:57Look at them.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00They are such good pals.

0:29:00 > 0:29:01Look at you, Michael.

0:29:01 > 0:29:03I know.

0:29:03 > 0:29:05It's much better than that real photo you showed of me

0:29:05 > 0:29:07on the way in.

0:29:07 > 0:29:08That's just scary.

0:29:08 > 0:29:09Well, no.

0:29:09 > 0:29:12And what if...what if you're at the services during filming,

0:29:12 > 0:29:14one of them gets hungry?

0:29:14 > 0:29:16Why, you could share a cherry.

0:29:16 > 0:29:19- Different artist, though. - Different artist.

0:29:19 > 0:29:21You've never made me cupcakes.

0:29:22 > 0:29:26- No.- What are you wearing, James? - Show me again.

0:29:26 > 0:29:28Dungarees. Am I wearing dungarees?

0:29:29 > 0:29:32Obviously you did the baking and I'm feeding you.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34Why am I in dungarees?

0:29:34 > 0:29:36- Have I've been in the workshop? - It could be an apron.

0:29:36 > 0:29:39You did the baking and I'm feeding you.

0:29:39 > 0:29:42- Oh, man.- Yeah, cos you've worked hard all afternoon, James.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45- You deserve a treat. - So, I'm taking your cherry.

0:29:45 > 0:29:47LAUGHTER

0:29:47 > 0:29:51Meanwhile...meanwhile, after filming, you were just relaxing.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55Do you know what I'm saying?

0:29:55 > 0:29:59What I'm saying is, "It's tough being number nine.

0:29:59 > 0:30:00"It's tough in the top ten."

0:30:00 > 0:30:03I'm saying I don't want to take a bath.

0:30:03 > 0:30:06Shall we play Bucky?

0:30:06 > 0:30:07LAUGHTER

0:30:09 > 0:30:11Here you are baking. It's rather beautiful.

0:30:14 > 0:30:15Now, for some reason...

0:30:16 > 0:30:21Wait a minute, wait a minute, stop everything for a minute, mate.

0:30:21 > 0:30:24Whoever's creating this artwork, I applaud your artistry,

0:30:24 > 0:30:28by the way, it's beautiful work, but if anybody's giving...

0:30:29 > 0:30:31LAUGHTER

0:30:31 > 0:30:32CHEERING

0:30:32 > 0:30:33Apparently not.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42The other weird thing is...

0:30:42 > 0:30:45I don't know what, but James looks incredibly like Sue Lawley here.

0:30:47 > 0:30:49I also think I look a bit like...

0:30:49 > 0:30:53No, it looks like what you're saying is, "If anyone's giving, it's me."

0:30:56 > 0:30:58I'm trying to bake here.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00Do you know what I think it really looks like?

0:31:00 > 0:31:02It looks like a couple who've been together for 25 years

0:31:02 > 0:31:05and they're like, "We've not had sex in a long time.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07"Come on, let's try.

0:31:07 > 0:31:08"Let's just try."

0:31:08 > 0:31:10We don't even take our pants off any more.

0:31:13 > 0:31:15But then...but then, this is even sweeter.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18What they do is they've got these various scenarios

0:31:18 > 0:31:20they dream up for you.

0:31:20 > 0:31:23What you do is if you go to the fan fiction websites...

0:31:23 > 0:31:27When I say fan fiction websites, this is nuts.

0:31:27 > 0:31:32Some of these stories are 250,000 words long.

0:31:32 > 0:31:35That's like two books.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37- Wow.- About him and I? - Yeah.- Amazing.- Wow.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40OK, so what they do is they summarise them.

0:31:40 > 0:31:41So, here's a little one.

0:31:41 > 0:31:45- Has Harvey Weinstein optioned them for a movie yet?- He really should.

0:31:45 > 0:31:46Here's one...

0:31:55 > 0:31:56APPLAUSE Yeah!

0:31:56 > 0:31:58I've printed some of them out.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00- Would you mind reading some of them out?- Oh, please.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04- OK.- I'm trying to stay away from this, but I'm happy to get involved.

0:32:04 > 0:32:08OK, so this is... These are the little scenarios for you.

0:32:08 > 0:32:10You go with the first one there now.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13"After finding out James is pregnant with twins..."

0:32:13 > 0:32:15LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:32:15 > 0:32:17Oh, my God!

0:32:22 > 0:32:25"how to balance upcoming parenthood and their careers

0:32:25 > 0:32:28"with help from friends and family."

0:32:28 > 0:32:29See, it's lovely!

0:32:29 > 0:32:33OK, this one... Like I say, they are sweet. They're creepy, but sweet.

0:32:33 > 0:32:35LAUGHTER

0:32:35 > 0:32:38"James and Michael decide to knit scarves for each other."

0:32:40 > 0:32:43Wait, wait. "James is very good at it."

0:32:43 > 0:32:45LAUGHTER

0:32:45 > 0:32:51"But Michael ends up with something that is definitely not a scarf."

0:32:51 > 0:32:53LAUGHTER

0:32:53 > 0:32:57- I don't know!- Find out next week. - I don't know!- I've got to read on.

0:32:57 > 0:33:02"Michael likes certain kinks in bed. Role play and costumes and scenes..."

0:33:02 > 0:33:05I thought this was saying "scones" there.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07"..and scenes..." LAUGHTER

0:33:07 > 0:33:11- He's mad about his baking, mad about his baking!- Oh, and the cream!

0:33:11 > 0:33:13"James has never really minded before

0:33:13 > 0:33:15"but this time, this night, he's tired.

0:33:15 > 0:33:17"He feels a bit ridiculous in the outfit

0:33:17 > 0:33:22"and he wants Michael to want him as himself for once, just for tonight!"

0:33:22 > 0:33:24LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:33:24 > 0:33:25As himself!

0:33:27 > 0:33:29"I don't want to wear the dungarees!"

0:33:29 > 0:33:31What about all the fan fiction?

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

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Oh, my God.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41I think I have more illustrated moments in our relationship now

0:33:41 > 0:33:43than I do with my wife.

0:41:15 > 0:41:17All right, off you go with your story.

0:41:17 > 0:41:19OK, basically, a couple of years ago

0:41:19 > 0:41:22I had a serious knee injury and I went and got an X-ray done.

0:41:22 > 0:41:27The X-ray was from the waist down and I went to my girlfriend's place,

0:41:27 > 0:41:28and her parents wanted to see the X-rays,

0:41:28 > 0:41:30so I held the X-rays up against the window,

0:41:30 > 0:41:34I was showing them and they started laughing. I didn't realise what they were laughing at,

0:41:34 > 0:41:37and then I looked at the X-ray and realised that as it was

0:41:37 > 0:41:40from the waist down, there was a bit more on the X-ray than just my knee.

0:41:40 > 0:41:41LAUGHTER

0:41:41 > 0:41:44- I'm very impressed if it got to your knee!- Yeah!

0:41:44 > 0:41:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Yes, wonderful!- It's lovely.- Lovely.

0:42:05 > 0:42:07At this time of year, oh, the daffodils!

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Er, all right, off you go with your story.

0:42:11 > 0:42:15Erm, well, many moons ago I used to work as an events organiser,

0:42:15 > 0:42:17in particular weddings,

0:42:17 > 0:42:21and one particular wedding I had to MC the whole event,

0:42:21 > 0:42:26so I had to announce all the guests in, and, erm,

0:42:26 > 0:42:29get everybody into dinner and announce the toasts, et cetera,

0:42:29 > 0:42:31and this particular wedding,

0:42:31 > 0:42:36the mother of the bride was a real cow, she just did nothing

0:42:36 > 0:42:41but complain about the room was too hot, too cold, things weren't right.

0:42:41 > 0:42:43Anyway, I announced the toasts

0:42:43 > 0:42:46and, er, she came up and said that the champagne was too warm,

0:42:46 > 0:42:48so I said, "Oh, I'll sort it, I'll sort it,"

0:42:48 > 0:42:52went out to the kitchens and then let rip

0:42:52 > 0:42:55and screamed about what a complete and utter bitch she was,

0:42:55 > 0:42:59and said that the poor groom... moving into that part of the family

0:42:59 > 0:43:03and hope his wife didn't turn out like the mother-in-law bitch.

0:43:03 > 0:43:07And at that point, one of the waitresses came up to me and went...
