0:03:19 > 0:03:20Yay for us(!)
0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Good evening, gentlemen and lady. - Hello.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28You all right there, Maxine? Very good.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- You guys, you've been in a few films...- Yes.
0:03:31 > 0:03:32..Seth and Paul, together.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35So are you friends in life, or is it just a work thing?
0:03:35 > 0:03:37- We are very intimate in life. - OK.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Very good friends, yes. Very good friends in real life.
0:03:41 > 0:03:42- Good, good.- Yes.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45- Feels weird to be sitting here... - On a talk show with you.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46..yet I have nothing...
0:03:46 > 0:03:48We have nothing to do with each other's film.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50We have nothing to do with each other...
0:03:50 > 0:03:51I specifically want his movie to fail.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- It's war.- It is. There's no business here.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- It won't fail.- I don't think it will.- I don't think it will. - It's OK.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Because, Paul and Martin, you're in the film together,
0:04:00 > 0:04:02so presumably you know each other?
0:04:02 > 0:04:04- No. - LAUGHTER
0:04:04 > 0:04:07I've been a big fan of Martin's for many years...
0:04:07 > 0:04:09- Bless you.- ..and I was so excited to meet you.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11But it's very strange because I'm meeting you now
0:04:11 > 0:04:13- for the very first time... - Very first time.
0:04:13 > 0:04:14..sitting next to you on this show.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17Apparently we're in the same film.
0:04:17 > 0:04:18You wouldn't necessarily know that.
0:04:18 > 0:04:21Was the shoot so long that your paths never crossed, or...?
0:04:21 > 0:04:23Yeah. I mean, my path didn't cross with
0:04:23 > 0:04:26an awful lot of people in that film.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28I saw it for the first time today, and...
0:04:28 > 0:04:30Would you two listen, or...?
0:04:30 > 0:04:31LAUGHTER
0:04:31 > 0:04:33Sorry about that. Very sorry.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35They were distracted by booze.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:04:37 > 0:04:39They were like, "Oh, there's a beer here."
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- Or a Jameson?- I know this story.
0:04:42 > 0:04:43I-I just...
0:04:44 > 0:04:46We welcome you into our country...
0:04:49 > 0:04:51As you were saying?
0:04:51 > 0:04:53"This will help me sleep."
0:04:55 > 0:04:59Now, Seth and Paul, you may not know where Maxine's from,
0:04:59 > 0:05:03- but it is generally accepted to be the Hollywood of the north.- Ooh.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Bolton.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08CHEERING You grew up with stars.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Oh, I did, yes.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11I was a lifeguard with Paddy McGuinness,
0:05:11 > 0:05:13who I'm sure you've heard of(!)
0:05:14 > 0:05:18And Peter Kay was the projectionist at the local cinema.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21- Is that true?- That's true, yeah.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24Vernon Kay used to stack shelves at a well-known superstore.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Well, he's built for it, isn't he?
0:05:27 > 0:05:29Yeah, it's a place to be.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31All the stars.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33And Maxine, when it comes to, you know, red carpets and things,
0:05:33 > 0:05:35do you like all of that?
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Not really.
0:05:36 > 0:05:39- I never get invited to any, to be honest.- Oh, you do.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42You know, glamorous opening nights, when you do an opening night,
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- you have to pop a frock on? - See, I'm the opposite. I'd rather just not, you know...
0:05:45 > 0:05:48You saw - I couldn't even manage to get up the stairs in these shoes.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- No, jeans and a pair of trainers. - Yeah, but you always wear nice jeans and trainers.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55- Thank you. - You've got an eye for what you wear.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Yeah, but it's... It's comfy. Comfy-casual.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Well, you should have just worn trainers.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02I was trying to make an effort. I was trying to look
0:06:02 > 0:06:05slightly sophisticated, and not so northern.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06LAUGHTER
0:06:09 > 0:06:12- Well, you're sitting now, we won't ask you to stand again. - Please don't.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14Just sit, put your hand... Look lovely.
0:06:14 > 0:06:15I can't even pick that up.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17- Oh!- Would you like me to pass it?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Well, I'm far too nervous. - I'll wait till one of these fuckers is talking.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24I get nothing from it.
0:06:26 > 0:06:27- Thank you.- You're welcome. - There you go.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30That was no good moment.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34There was no good moment.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38- Right. Seth...- Yes? - Seth is currently starring in
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Bad Neighbours 2 - Sorority Rising, which is out next Friday.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- This is all true, it's your film? - It is true.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Here's an extraordinary truth - Bad Neighbours -
0:06:49 > 0:06:51the first Bad Neighbours -
0:06:51 > 0:06:53took 270 million.
0:06:53 > 0:06:56- Yeah.- No surprise they made another one.- Yeah.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57LAUGHTER
0:06:57 > 0:07:00So obviously, most people saw the first Bad Neighbours,
0:07:00 > 0:07:02where you were living next door to Zac Efron
0:07:02 > 0:07:05and the fraternity. So what happens this time? Who are your neighbours this time?
0:07:05 > 0:07:08A group of 18-year-old girls are our neighbours,
0:07:08 > 0:07:09who are trying to start a sorority,
0:07:09 > 0:07:12which is kind of the female version of a fraternity,
0:07:12 > 0:07:14which they don't have here.
0:07:14 > 0:07:1618-year-old girls are frightening - they scare me a lot.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20I'm very uncomfortable around them. I don't know what to say about them.
0:07:20 > 0:07:23So it was a horrifying experience, overall, for me.
0:07:23 > 0:07:24Because you do have long scenes
0:07:24 > 0:07:27- where they're just in wet bikinis and things...- Yes.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30- It's hard... I mean, I shouldn't... - LAUGHTER
0:07:32 > 0:07:34It was. It was difficult.
0:07:36 > 0:07:37LAUGHTER
0:07:39 > 0:07:40APPLAUSE
0:07:42 > 0:07:43- ALL:- Cheers.
0:07:45 > 0:07:46"It was difficult"?
0:07:46 > 0:07:49It was difficult.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- WHINES:- You don't get it, acting's hard.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55But the last time, when you...
0:07:55 > 0:07:58I think you were here to talk about the first one.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's so embarrassing to do press in front of someone you know.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07The last time you were here, you were talking about the first one, where you had a baby,
0:08:07 > 0:08:10played by twins, obviously, but there was only one baby.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13And it's got to see terrible things, and hear terrible language.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16We thought, "Oh, baby won't get it." But this time, it's a toddler.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Yes, this time I think she got it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21But who are the parents? Who's letting this happen?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Her parents are very nice, well-paid people, who...
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Yeah, there's a running joke in the movie
0:08:27 > 0:08:29where our daughter plays with a pink dildo, essentially.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33Yeah, there she is holding a dildo.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36Yeah, and...
0:08:37 > 0:08:41Martin's like, "Wow, how much did they pay those parents?"
0:08:42 > 0:08:45They can afford therapy for their daughter one day,
0:08:45 > 0:08:47which, erm, is a good thing, cos she'll probably need it.
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- And is she twins? - She... That one is not twins.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53- She is one of twins.- One of twins? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55I mean, how old is that little girl?
0:08:55 > 0:08:57They're three-and-a-half or something?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59I never talked to them, ever.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- I was very mean to them.- You don't want your name coming up in therapy.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04I said, "This is Hollywood, kid."
0:09:05 > 0:09:07"You don't talk to number one."
0:09:10 > 0:09:12"You hold your dildo, and you sit there."
0:09:15 > 0:09:16APPLAUSE
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Now, we've got a clip.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23This is the former bad neighbour,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- Zac Efron, who's also in the film. - Yes.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- This is him becoming a force for good.- Yeah.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31I want to help you guys stop that sorority before it gets too late.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Really?- That's right....
0:09:33 > 0:09:34I'm switching sides.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Nice.- Yes!- That's awesome. - Yes!- Cool.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38They have 15 individuals -
0:09:38 > 0:09:40they're not a cohesive unit.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43They don't understand the most important rule of sisterhood -
0:09:43 > 0:09:45"There's no I in sorority."
0:09:45 > 0:09:48- Yeah, there is. There's two, actually. - No, actually, there's just one.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- No, that's a Y.- No, in the middle. - That's an O.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53Two I's straddling the Y.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- S-O-R-R-I-A-Y-O-RITY. - LAUGHTER
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- What?!- There's a U in there that you guys are all missing.
0:09:59 > 0:10:04S-O-R-R-I-R-O-I-T...I-T-Y.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Sorori-titty?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- The T's silent. - You think the titty is silent?
0:10:11 > 0:10:13That's wordplay.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19You're very happy in your heterosexuality,
0:10:19 > 0:10:22but even you could appreciate Zac Efron's body.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Oh, it's freakish. It is truly unbelievable.
0:10:25 > 0:10:26CHEERING
0:10:26 > 0:10:29He's even better-looking now - that's the first movie.
0:10:29 > 0:10:30That's an old picture.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33That's garbage compared to what he looks like now.
0:10:33 > 0:10:35Did you say, "How did you have time to make a film?
0:10:35 > 0:10:37"Because you must be in the gym all the time."
0:10:37 > 0:10:39He's in a constant state of exercising.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41I'm sure you've seen this on the Marvel movies, where it's like
0:10:41 > 0:10:43there's a constant exercising happening.
0:10:43 > 0:10:46Like, at all moments, he's exercising.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49And I do the equal thing for NOT exercising.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I'm the inverse ratio of that, yeah.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56You went for the easy option in the film, you just did that...
0:10:56 > 0:10:58- LAUGHTER - Exactly.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00That's how they all do it.
0:11:00 > 0:11:02That 300 movie? That's all they do.
0:11:02 > 0:11:05- He looks like Homer Simpson. - Yeah, I do.
0:11:05 > 0:11:06It looks like Homer's face.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09Looks like Homer and a lobster lying on my body.
0:11:10 > 0:11:13No, cos, Martin, did you have a similar thing with Love Actually,
0:11:13 > 0:11:15where suddenly, people were going, "Oh!"
0:11:18 > 0:11:20Not with that face, no.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21Going "oh!"
0:11:21 > 0:11:23"I see. I never knew that was what was beneath
0:11:23 > 0:11:25"those T-shirts and jeans."
0:11:26 > 0:11:28No, I guess the point with Love Actually,
0:11:28 > 0:11:30it was not meant to be sexy.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32It was meant to be kind of innocent. It wasn't that...
0:11:32 > 0:11:36When you do sex scenes that are where you are, giving THAT...
0:11:36 > 0:11:40When you're acting THAT, that's a little bit more vulnerable-making.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42It's a bit more vulnerable...
0:11:42 > 0:11:46Inevitably, you're kind of giving away some of your own state secrets, you know?
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Whereas, I wasn't...- Wow. - In Love Actually, it was dialogue.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53The funny bit about it was that it was two very ordinary people.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56- It wasn't meant to be turning anyone on.- OK.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58So if it did, shame on you.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02Sorry, you blew it, man.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07I think we've got a picture of you in it.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08Oh. Oh.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11CHEERING
0:12:11 > 0:12:13That's...
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I wasn't expecting to see that.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- I'm naked at other parts. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19Well, not fully naked - you get a little purse.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23- You do, though, you get a little purse.- A change purse, yeah.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Yeah, and it's more humiliating. - LAUGHS:- Sorry!
0:12:27 > 0:12:29Oh, is that what you call it?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33And the woman gets a strip.
0:12:33 > 0:12:37- Maybe. Sometimes.- Depends who you're working for. (Saying nothing.)
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Maxine Peake - in terms of fitness, oddly,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43It was the late, great Victoria Wood...
0:12:43 > 0:12:46- Wonderful Victoria Wood, yeah. - ..who encouraged you to get fit?
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Look at that.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56No, she...
0:12:56 > 0:13:00At school, I was quite a large teenager,
0:13:00 > 0:13:02and we sort of had a little chat.
0:13:02 > 0:13:03She was so amazing.
0:13:03 > 0:13:07She said to me, "Look, you're fat, you're blonde, you're northern,
0:13:07 > 0:13:10"you're going to get typecast." She was being really honest,
0:13:10 > 0:13:13cos it says what she felt she'd experienced.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15So you know... I'd been told at drama school,
0:13:15 > 0:13:17"If you don't lay off the chips, you'll never play Juliet."
0:13:17 > 0:13:20To which, "I don't want t'play Juliet."
0:13:21 > 0:13:22"Have you tasted chips?"
0:13:25 > 0:13:29But when somebody like Victoria Wood says that to you, you take notice.
0:13:29 > 0:13:33So I did, but I did it a bit too quick and I lost it between...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35Between the two series of Dinnerladies,
0:13:35 > 0:13:38which, I should have probably waited.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39But, yeah. But, yeah.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41How long had you...? Sorry.
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Please, Martin. - No, can you shut up?
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- This'll be a good question. - Mate, there's a time and a place to interrupt.
0:13:46 > 0:13:49How long had you been out of drama school before you did Dinnerladies?
0:13:49 > 0:13:52- I was still at drama school. - Oh, were you?- Yeah. Yeah.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56- I'd just...- So that was a very good early doors kind of thing? - It was amazing.
0:13:56 > 0:14:00- You're sort of spoiled to work with somebody the calibre of Victoria. - Amazing.
0:14:00 > 0:14:02She's... Yeah, it's been such sad, sad news, you know.
0:14:02 > 0:14:05She was such an inspiration, even from working with her,
0:14:05 > 0:14:08- but even as a youngster growing up...- Of course. - That's who I wanted...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10Woods and Walters were who I wanted to be.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12That was the career you wanted to emulate.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16I do like that you took her advice, but then you had to wear a fat suit for series two.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18They got me a fat suit, yeah.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20She was a bit like, "Whoa a minute.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22"I've just written a second series
0:14:22 > 0:14:25"that we think you might be pregnant because you've got fatter.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27"And you're 4st lighter."
0:14:27 > 0:14:31- So they made me a fat suit. - Paul? You...
0:14:31 > 0:14:33Honestly, it is weird - you don't seem to age.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36CHEERING Does he?
0:14:38 > 0:14:39Thank you.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42I feel awful on the inside.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- Greatly.- When we first met, I looked younger.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49Now, I've surpassed... I think I could be his father.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53To be fair, though, Seth, when we met you were 15
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- and you looked like you were 37. - I did, yeah.
0:14:56 > 0:14:57I was about 20 years older.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Often, when people grow beards...
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Well, clearly I do, but they are grey, or have grey in them.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05But even yours - beautiful, beautiful beard.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Thank you, thank you. Well it's starting...
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Starting to come in a little bit right there on the chin.- Oh, please.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Actually we've got a picture of you at Kansas University.
0:15:13 > 0:15:15- I don't know how old you were here. - Ah, '88. Yeah.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17But look how beautiful you are.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20As you can see, I don't just grow hair on my face.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22Look how happy you are.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26I remember taking that picture and I worked on my hair.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28I worked on that.
0:15:28 > 0:15:32I was greatly inspired by Michael Hutchence
0:15:32 > 0:15:33who was my hero at the time.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35And I think I tried to blow it dry and it came off
0:15:35 > 0:15:39looking a little more Bon Jovi than I had anticipated.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42There's a whiff of Julia Roberts off you, really.
0:15:42 > 0:15:44You're just beautiful.
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Just beautiful in that picture.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- Big toothy smile.- Yeah.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Hey, but he's a superhero now, ladies and gentleman.
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Yes, Ant-Man. AUDIENCE WHOOP
0:15:52 > 0:15:55Ant-Man. Paul Rudd is in Captain America: Civil War,
0:15:55 > 0:15:58alongside Martin. It opens tonight.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01So, why there's a Civil War? Who are both of you?
0:16:01 > 0:16:05- What?- Who are you in this film? Why is it a Civil War?
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Well, I need a little bit more introduction than Paul,
0:16:08 > 0:16:09because Paul is actually a superhero.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12But I am Everett Ross. And he works for the government.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16And part of his remit is to kind of keep the superheroes in check
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- a little bit. Yeah.- OK. Yeah. - When did you stop listening?
0:16:19 > 0:16:21LAUGHTER
0:16:21 > 0:16:23No. No. Well, I wasn't listening very hard because I knew.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- I've seen the film.- Oh, right, OK.
0:16:25 > 0:16:28So, there's a civil war between The Avengers.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Discuss.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Well, when you read the script, what do you think?
0:16:35 > 0:16:36Was it like their...?
0:16:36 > 0:16:41It becomes... That state of affairs comes around within the film.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43And I saw it today.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45I saw it today for the first time.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48- Yes.- And it's a really good film, isn't it?- It's great.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51And I don't... That's not meant to sound, that's... But it was so...
0:16:51 > 0:16:53You are invested in the characters,
0:16:53 > 0:16:55the action of course is amazing, as you would expect.
0:16:55 > 0:16:56But I really got it.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59I really understand everyone's motivation.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01- And good jokes, good jokes. - Some good jokes.
0:17:01 > 0:17:02But proper high stakes, eh?
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Yeah, and there are two kind of...
0:17:05 > 0:17:09Two camps with differing opinions about how they should move forward.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Should these groups of superheroes be regulated?
0:17:11 > 0:17:14Because there's a lot of collateral damage from saving the world.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15And then there's another side
0:17:15 > 0:17:19that feels they shouldn't have any kind of government supervision.
0:17:19 > 0:17:21You understand both sides of the argument
0:17:21 > 0:17:24and I think that makes it interesting.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27And as we said earlier, you didn't meet making the film.
0:17:27 > 0:17:31And that becomes obvious as we watch this clip that Martin's not in.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34There's a lot of those.
0:17:34 > 0:17:35But Paul is.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Yep.- One of you's in it, so, hey.
0:17:39 > 0:17:41This is Paul Rudd as Ant-Man
0:17:41 > 0:17:44meeting the other members of his team.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45How about our other recruit?
0:17:45 > 0:17:48He's raring to go.
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Had to put a little coffee in him, but...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- DOOR BANGS OPEN - ..we should be good.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56What time zone is this?
0:17:56 > 0:17:57Come on. Come on.
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Captain America.- Mr Lang.
0:18:04 > 0:18:05It's an honour.
0:18:05 > 0:18:07I'm shaking your hand too long.
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oh, this is awesome. Captain America.
0:18:09 > 0:18:11I know you too, you're great.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Jeez.
0:18:15 > 0:18:19Look, I want to say, I know you know a lot of super people,
0:18:19 > 0:18:21so thinks for thanking of me.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- Hey, man.- What's up, Tic Tac?
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Erm, good to see you. Look, what happened last time...
0:18:27 > 0:18:30It was a great audition, but it'll... It'll never happen again.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Did they tell you what we're up against?
0:18:32 > 0:18:36Something about some psycho assassins.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38We're outside the law on this one.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- So, if you come with us, you're a wanted man.- Yeah, well.
0:18:41 > 0:18:42What else is new?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46Yeah, yeah, agreed.
0:18:49 > 0:18:50I heard you talking, Paul, about...
0:18:50 > 0:18:53That actually when you got to set you were a bit like that.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- You were kind of fan-girling around The Avengers.- Yeah, yeah.
0:18:56 > 0:18:59You know, after we shot Ant-Man...
0:18:59 > 0:19:03But I was alone on that, it was like working in a bubble, pretty much.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05And then all of a sudden I'm standing around
0:19:05 > 0:19:09and seeing Robert Downey Jr and the Iron Man suit.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11And seeing Chris Evans, and they're all there.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15I've seen the movies, and I felt like I was ten years old.
0:19:15 > 0:19:16It was crazy.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- It was pretty cool.- Did you really do the touching the arm thing?
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Yeah, yeah. I saw...
0:19:21 > 0:19:27I saw Sebastian Stan getting his arm, the silver arm, on.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31And it was weird. It was like I was watching somebody bathing.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33"I'm not supposed to see this."
0:19:33 > 0:19:38But I did, I went over and I just kind of felt the arm.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Chris Evans had to run to the bathroom really quick,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43so he asked the prop guy, "Could you just hold this?"
0:19:43 > 0:19:44He was holding his shield.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48He ran off and I said, ("Can I?")
0:19:48 > 0:19:49Run around with it.
0:19:49 > 0:19:51I was like, "Wow."
0:19:51 > 0:19:52It's heavier than I imagined.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55But you know it's made of vibranium, of course it's going to be heavy.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57Yeah, of course. Yes. Yes.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59No, it was pretty cool, I must say.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03Now, we've got a picture of Martin in his costume.
0:20:03 > 0:20:04Here we go.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10AUDIENCE CHEER
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Thank you.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Erm, but I...
0:20:15 > 0:20:18As you were saying... But you're now being fed into the universe.
0:20:18 > 0:20:21You're going to be in some more of these adventure movies.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Yes, please, God. Yeah. Yes, that's the plan.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26- Yeah.- Yeah, that's the plan. - But your team...- It's a fairly...
0:20:26 > 0:20:27- AUDIENCE WHOOPING - Thank you. Thank you.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29Thank you, Mum. But it's a fairly small...
0:20:29 > 0:20:31It is a fairly small role, at this stage.
0:20:31 > 0:20:33And listen, we must just very quickly mention Sherlock
0:20:33 > 0:20:36because you're back filming that right now, aren't you?
0:20:36 > 0:20:39- Yes, I am. Yeah.- Yeah. AUDIENCE CHEER
0:20:40 > 0:20:43- Thank you. Thank you. - They like Sherlock.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Yeah, thank you.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Thank you.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49See, that response, lovely in a studio,
0:20:49 > 0:20:52- but when you're out and about filming Sherlock...- Yes.
0:20:52 > 0:20:55- ..is it like that all the time? - No, it has occasionally been.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Like, when we do our exteriors
0:20:57 > 0:21:01for what our fake Baker Street is, in the West End,
0:21:01 > 0:21:03it can be a little bit like that.
0:21:03 > 0:21:07But we've tried to sort of say to them in the most respectful,
0:21:07 > 0:21:09loving way that, you know, we need...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12This is not a kind of live gig. Do you know what I mean?
0:21:12 > 0:21:15It sort of needs to be quite small and focused.
0:21:15 > 0:21:19But you're doing that in front of hundreds of people over the road.
0:21:19 > 0:21:21You're getting people go, "Can't hear you!"
0:21:22 > 0:21:25Yeah. So, it's a funny one. It's like...
0:21:25 > 0:21:28It's almost sometimes like a cross between doing film and theatre.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31- And how many are you doing this time?- Same amount. Three.- Three.
0:21:31 > 0:21:32And when will they be out?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Erm, 2029.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36- LAUGHTER - Probably.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39No, next year. I imagine January or Christmas.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41- OK, excellent.- Yeah, yeah.- Now.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Paul Rudd, is this the first time your children are going to be
0:21:44 > 0:21:46able to see one of your films?
0:21:46 > 0:21:51Yes. Ant-Man was the very first one that they got to see.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54And they're excited about seeing Civil War, which is weird.
0:21:54 > 0:21:55They knew that I was an actor in theory.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57They've never shown any interest.
0:21:57 > 0:22:01- Yeah.- In anything that I've done. I'll be honest with you,
0:22:01 > 0:22:03they're showing a little bit of interest in this.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05But, yeah, it was the first thing.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Cos how many kids have you got? Two?- Two.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10And being a parent, it's difficult.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13And I believe there's been times where you haven't
0:22:13 > 0:22:16pitched things correctly. You've got things slightly wrong.
0:22:16 > 0:22:17That's true. Yeah.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20Just recently I thought, "You know what?
0:22:20 > 0:22:22"I'm going to really do the family thing.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25"I'm going to surprise my kids with a trip to Disney World."
0:22:25 > 0:22:27- Lovely.- Which was great.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29But I thought, "Oh, this is going to be really fun."
0:22:29 > 0:22:32And I sat them down and I was very serious and I said,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34"You know, guys,
0:22:34 > 0:22:38"you're not going to be able to go to school next Wednesday.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41"Mom and I are going to take you out of school.
0:22:41 > 0:22:47"Because...we are going...to Disney World."
0:22:47 > 0:22:54And they were so freaked out by my tone that they were not excited.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01My daughter started crying out of relief and my son said, "Oh, my God!
0:23:01 > 0:23:07"I thought you were going to tell us that somebody had passed on."
0:23:07 > 0:23:12And so there was... I was so excited about the joyous reaction
0:23:12 > 0:23:14and I realised, "Oh, yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16"That's a parental lesson right there.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19"Don't make it about me."
0:23:19 > 0:23:22Cos, Maxine, some of the parts you've played over the years
0:23:22 > 0:23:25didn't thrill your family.
0:23:25 > 0:23:27- No.- Cos Shameless.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29- Shameless was quite out there. - Yeah, yeah.
0:23:29 > 0:23:30AUDIENCE WHOOP
0:23:30 > 0:23:33Yeah, I know. Shameless. Everyone loves Shameless.
0:23:33 > 0:23:35Was it your mum that had the problem with Shameless?
0:23:35 > 0:23:38Yeah, she didn't... When people used to say, "Oh, what have you been in?"
0:23:38 > 0:23:41She'd go, "Dinnerladies." And that was it.
0:23:41 > 0:23:42That was all she was proud of.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45Shameless was a little bit too much.
0:23:45 > 0:23:49You know, topless ironing and... Yeah. For anybody.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52Anybody's mum, not even mine, would've been traumatised.
0:23:52 > 0:23:54Other people's mothers.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56Yeah. Traumatic. So, yeah.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58- Because, Seth Rogen...- Yes.
0:23:58 > 0:24:01- Your parents... No, it's lovely. They're very supportive.- They are.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04I think we've got a picture of your mum, Sandy.
0:24:04 > 0:24:05That's my mom.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07Now, is she Mrs Rogen?
0:24:07 > 0:24:10She is. Yeah. Mrs Sandy Rogen, yeah.
0:24:10 > 0:24:11And now this is cool.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Like, what a cool mother she is, because you tweeted this,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17a link to a video you did. You tweeted this thing...
0:24:21 > 0:24:24- You did do this.- I taught people how to roll joints.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26As a... It's community service, technically.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28So, yeah. That's good.
0:24:28 > 0:24:29- You care too much.- Exactly.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32And knocked a few hours off my sentence.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33So, that, erm...
0:24:33 > 0:24:36And very sweetly, Mrs Rogen, your mom, tweeted this.
0:24:36 > 0:24:38"That's so great..."
0:24:41 > 0:24:42LAUGHTER
0:24:42 > 0:24:44"So proud of your great abilities!"
0:24:49 > 0:24:50She's proud of me.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53Please, but please tell me, is this tattoo fake?
0:24:53 > 0:24:55This is a picture of your mum.
0:24:55 > 0:24:56Oh, this is horrific.
0:24:59 > 0:25:01Yes. Thank God, that is fake.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04I genuinely do not like looking at that picture.
0:25:06 > 0:25:08There's something so weird...
0:25:08 > 0:25:10That was made on Knocked Up, right?
0:25:10 > 0:25:12No, it was... I don't know what it's from.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Wasn't it on Knocked Up? Cos we all had them.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16- I think it might be, yeah...- Really?
0:25:16 > 0:25:18There was a point where that was a thing, I guess.
0:25:18 > 0:25:22But my mum put it on her upper breast, which is horrific to say,
0:25:22 > 0:25:24and it's horrible.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28It looks like something a prisoner would send me.
0:25:28 > 0:25:31LAUGHTER
0:25:31 > 0:25:33"What happened, Mom?!"
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- "Why, Mom?"- Now, your mum seems...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37- You know, she tweets, she's good at technology.- She does.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40But lots of examples out there of parents not quite
0:25:40 > 0:25:44getting the hang of texting. I don't know if these are real,
0:25:44 > 0:25:46but they're out there and they're quite funny.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49So here are some of them. So here's a mother texting somebody.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58LAUGHTER
0:25:58 > 0:26:00Now, so many parents do this one.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02This is somebody texting their mum...
0:26:14 > 0:26:18- It should be.- Those are good, but then this is so sweet.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20So a mum...
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I didn't know for a long time how to use emojis.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26But the mother's found emojis and she's delighted with herself.
0:26:26 > 0:26:27Off she goes...
0:26:39 > 0:26:42And then the dreaded predictive text, which... That...
0:26:42 > 0:26:45I mean, that's not just parents, that's the bane of all our lives.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47This is from... To a father...
0:27:04 > 0:27:06LAUGHTER
0:27:06 > 0:27:08Well done, the parents! Very good!
0:27:13 > 0:27:16But now, ladies and gentlemen, it is time for some culture
0:27:16 > 0:27:18on this show because Maxine Peake brings us
0:27:18 > 0:27:20A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24It's out next month on BBC One as part of their Shakespeare season
0:27:24 > 0:27:27and it's a... I mean, it's proper BBC One.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30It's a big, accessible version of the play, isn't it?
0:27:30 > 0:27:33Yes, Russell T Davies has done the adaptation...
0:27:33 > 0:27:35- CHEERING - ..so it's fantastic,
0:27:35 > 0:27:36and as you would imagine from Russell,
0:27:36 > 0:27:40it's fun, it's irreverent, it's, you know, quite anarchic.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42And, yeah, it's the Doctor Who studio,
0:27:42 > 0:27:45so there's lots of special effects and...
0:27:45 > 0:27:47- And you're Titania. - I'm Titania, yes.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50- Oh, there you are as Titania. AUDIENCE:- Ooh!- Yes.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54- And it's... You came to set with that look, I hear.- Well, not...
0:27:54 > 0:27:58Just driving by, "Hi, model's own."
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I'd been doing a play in Manchester, The Striker by Caryl Churchill,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05and I was playing this malevolent fairy and I had shaved...
0:28:05 > 0:28:09It was a very attractive look. I had shaved hair and a nice mullet.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11I looked like I should have worked on the waltzers, you know?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13And so Russell came to see it
0:28:13 > 0:28:15and offered me the part and then, "Oh, keep the hair."
0:28:15 > 0:28:18And I was like, "Oh, you're joking?!" So for ages
0:28:18 > 0:28:19I had this slightly horrendous haircut
0:28:19 > 0:28:21that they used to wet shave every morning.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23People used to go, "Oh, is your head cold?"
0:28:23 > 0:28:25I'd go, "No, it's absolutely boiling." I don't know...
0:28:25 > 0:28:28When you have it that close shaven it was just...
0:28:28 > 0:28:29The heat emitting from having...
0:28:29 > 0:28:33I don't know, maybe not. Maybe she was just doing it really badly.
0:28:33 > 0:28:35Maybe she'd put a bit of Deep Heat on it first.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38LAUGHTER It wasn't shaving foam.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42So, yeah, it's a good introduction to people who wouldn't normally turn
0:28:42 > 0:28:46on to Shakespeare or youngsters, just to get with the spirit of it.
0:28:46 > 0:28:48And it's quick and it's economic and it's fun.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- And lots of famous faces.- Yeah.
0:28:50 > 0:28:53- Matt Lucas is your Bottom. - Matt is my Bottom.
0:28:53 > 0:28:56- There he is, yes. - I get to slip him the tongue.
0:28:56 > 0:28:57You do, don't you?
0:28:57 > 0:28:59I think he said I'm the first...
0:28:59 > 0:29:02It's the first sort of roll around he's had on set
0:29:02 > 0:29:05with a lady. I think it was his first on-screen...
0:29:05 > 0:29:08I could be wrong... I'm sure he was saying that he'd never...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10- I don't think he'd done a sex scene before.- Really?
0:29:10 > 0:29:13I said, "Well, I've done loads of them, sweetheart."
0:29:14 > 0:29:17"Just put your hand there and we'll all be happy!"
0:29:17 > 0:29:19Yeah, "Mind my strip."
0:29:20 > 0:29:24Yeah, he was lovely. He was, yeah.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27- Well, look, we've got a clip. - Oh!
0:29:27 > 0:29:29This is, basically, the famous scene.
0:29:29 > 0:29:31- Your first... Titania's first appearance.- OK.
0:29:41 > 0:29:44Ill met by moonlight, proud Titania.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47My jealous Oberon!
0:29:47 > 0:29:50Fairies, skip hence - I have forsworn his bed and company.
0:29:50 > 0:29:54Tarry, rash wanton. Am not I thy lord?
0:29:56 > 0:29:59Oh, then I must be thy lady!
0:29:59 > 0:30:02CACKLING
0:30:05 > 0:30:09But I know when thou has stolen away from Fairyland
0:30:09 > 0:30:11and in the shape of Corin sat all day
0:30:11 > 0:30:15playing on pipes of corn and versing love to amorous Phillida.
0:30:15 > 0:30:18How canst thou thus for shame, Titania,
0:30:18 > 0:30:21glance at my critic with fair Phillida,
0:30:21 > 0:30:24knowing I know thy love to Hippolyta?
0:30:24 > 0:30:27These are the forgeries of jealousy!
0:30:27 > 0:30:28The bouncing Amazon.
0:30:28 > 0:30:32Your buskin'd mistress and your warrior love
0:30:32 > 0:30:35to Theseus must be wedded!
0:30:35 > 0:30:37SCREAMING
0:30:39 > 0:30:42APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:30:42 > 0:30:45APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH
0:30:47 > 0:30:49It's good.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51You're very kind.
0:30:56 > 0:30:58They're loving it, loving it! Yeah.
0:30:58 > 0:31:00Was that a real forest? That was a real forest.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02- You can see your breath and everything.- It was cold.
0:31:02 > 0:31:04It was about five o'clock in the morning
0:31:04 > 0:31:06somewhere outside of Bristol. But, yeah, we did...
0:31:06 > 0:31:10It was beautiful, actually. It was one of those forests that you arrived and it felt like...
0:31:10 > 0:31:13It was so sort of perfect, it could have been a set.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16- But the majority of it was in... We filmed at Cardiff.- OK.- Yes.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Yeah, less idyllic, but lovely, I'm sure.
0:31:19 > 0:31:23- And, Paul, you have done Shakespeare.- Yeah, yeah, I have.
0:31:23 > 0:31:28I was in the movie Romeo and Juliet with Leonardo DiCaprio.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30CHEERING
0:31:30 > 0:31:34And I did Twelfth Night at Lincoln Centre in New York.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35Now, is that the picture with...
0:31:35 > 0:31:39Because I feel bad but it is... It's just you and some purple pants,
0:31:39 > 0:31:42- but is that you in Twelfth Night? - Mm-hm, yes.- Ah!
0:31:42 > 0:31:43LAUGHTER
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Yeah.
0:31:45 > 0:31:47CHEERING
0:31:50 > 0:31:52Just as the Bard intended it.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55"I hope he's wearing purple Speedos."
0:31:55 > 0:31:59That was a production Sir Nicholas Hytner directed
0:31:59 > 0:32:00and that's with Helen Hunt.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02Oh, is she over there, not looking?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04- Yeah, not looking!- Not...
0:32:04 > 0:32:06..shielding her eyes.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10So, Maxine, in this you...
0:32:10 > 0:32:14Obviously you're acting with the donkey in the woods and everything.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16Yes, yes... Oh, yes, I'm sorry.
0:32:16 > 0:32:18Remember that bit? Yeah, donkey, yeah.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21But, Seth Rogen, you've worked with an actual tiger.
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- I did, yeah.- But, like, a real, real tiger?
0:32:25 > 0:32:29A real tiger, yeah. It was very counterintuitive, I'll be honest.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Yeah, I made a movie called The Interview that almost started a war,
0:32:32 > 0:32:33you might have heard of it.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35CHEERING
0:32:35 > 0:32:37That must been have been the oddest time for you.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39It was a horrible experience, yes.
0:32:39 > 0:32:41It's bad to be blamed for almost starting a war.
0:32:42 > 0:32:45- It's not fun.- Yeah.- Yeah. It's super weird.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48No, you must have just been getting on with your life and,
0:32:48 > 0:32:50"Hey, we've made this silly comedy..."
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Yeah, and then the president was talking about it.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55A lot. Yeah, it was really bizarre.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58I had personal security and then one day they just went away.
0:32:58 > 0:33:01I was like, "I guess I'm safe now."
0:33:02 > 0:33:05- Yeah, but there was a tiger...? - In your house and everything?
0:33:05 > 0:33:09Well, the studio provided the film-makers with security in case
0:33:09 > 0:33:12someone from North Korea was going to kill us, I guess.
0:33:12 > 0:33:15And then, literally, one day they were just gone.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18We didn't... And I called everyone else and was like,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21"Is your guy still there?" And they were like, "No, my guy's gone."
0:33:21 > 0:33:23I was like, "Maybe this is it!"
0:33:24 > 0:33:27"This is the attack." But it wasn't.
0:33:27 > 0:33:30The studio just didn't want to pay for security any more.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32So no-one rang you to say, "We're leaving"?
0:33:32 > 0:33:35No, it was just morning I came out and was like, "Hey, G..."
0:33:35 > 0:33:38"Oh, no, he's not there any more."
0:33:38 > 0:33:42Yeah, and I thought maybe a North Korean had taken him out
0:33:42 > 0:33:45but, no, instead Sony just didn't want to pay for him any more!
0:33:45 > 0:33:48But, yes, it was a weird, weird, weird experience.
0:33:48 > 0:33:51But part of the weirdness was you actually wrote a scene...
0:33:51 > 0:33:53- Yeah.- You wrote this...- Yeah. - ..with a real tiger.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Yes, and we thought we'd be able to use visual effects
0:33:56 > 0:33:58like in Life of Pi and have a computer-generated tiger
0:33:58 > 0:34:01and then we realised that we had no money and so we had to get
0:34:01 > 0:34:04a real tiger from Toronto.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09- The nicer tiger.- No, I asked the guy where the tiger came from
0:34:09 > 0:34:12and he said he got it from a stripper, which is...
0:34:12 > 0:34:14LAUGHTER
0:34:14 > 0:34:17- ..crazy.- That's quite the act. - It was quite... That's what I said.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19- It's hard to tip, though.- Exactly!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21And don't touch her!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26The tiger trainer, God bless him... If you were to make a list
0:34:26 > 0:34:29of the things you do not want to hear a tiger trainer say,
0:34:29 > 0:34:34he systematically ticked every single thing on that list.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36He would be like,... We'd be like, "Is it safe?"
0:34:36 > 0:34:39He'd be like, "Well, they are killing machines, you know?"
0:34:39 > 0:34:42That's cool. And so we're like, "Is this going to be OK to shoot?
0:34:42 > 0:34:46He's like, "Yeah, you don't plan on shooting this at night, do you?"
0:34:46 > 0:34:47We're like, "Yeah, it's at night."
0:34:47 > 0:34:50He's like, "Well, they hunt at night."
0:34:50 > 0:34:53We're like, "Is it more dangerous at night?"
0:34:53 > 0:34:55He's like, "It's about 30-40% more dangerous."
0:34:55 > 0:34:58And we're like, "30-40% more than what?
0:34:58 > 0:35:01"Like, what's our baseline tiger level of danger?"
0:35:01 > 0:35:04He's like, "As long as it's not in a big open space."
0:35:04 > 0:35:07And we're like, "It is in a big open space."
0:35:07 > 0:35:09And then we're just like, "Should we not do this?"
0:35:09 > 0:35:10"Should we just not do it?"
0:35:10 > 0:35:13There was, I'm not joking, 15 seconds of silence
0:35:13 > 0:35:15and he goes, "No, we can do it."
0:35:15 > 0:35:18LAUGHTER
0:35:18 > 0:35:21And then the trainer's son, who was 18 years old, who was the guy who
0:35:21 > 0:35:23was training it... And we were like,
0:35:23 > 0:35:24"Why is your 18-year-old son doing it?"
0:35:24 > 0:35:27He's like, "He has a much better relationship with the tiger."
0:35:27 > 0:35:30LAUGHTER
0:35:30 > 0:35:32There was one moment when he got in a fight with his dad
0:35:32 > 0:35:35while they're holding the tiger. He was like,
0:35:35 > 0:35:36"Shut up, Dad, I'm doing this."
0:35:36 > 0:35:41We're just like, "There's a fucking tiger here!"
0:35:41 > 0:35:44- No-one got killed by the tiger. - Hooray!- Thank you.- Happy ending!
0:35:44 > 0:35:46APPLAUSE
0:35:50 > 0:35:53And film sets... I mean, filming's exciting in that...
0:35:53 > 0:35:56But they can often be quite boring, all the waiting around that has to be done.
0:35:56 > 0:36:00- Now, Martin, in The Hobbit was it you and Aidan Turner...- Oh, Christ!
0:36:00 > 0:36:03..that you found a way to while away
0:36:03 > 0:36:05the many hours... WOLF WHISTLE
0:36:05 > 0:36:07..you must've spent in New Zealand?
0:36:07 > 0:36:12- I mean, yes, I like to engender good feeling, you know?- Of course.
0:36:12 > 0:36:14If we're waiting around, if we're hanging around.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17One time I said to Aidan, OK, if there's a gun at your head...
0:36:17 > 0:36:21- Shall I say this?- What? - Whatever I'm going to say?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23LAUGHTER Do it then.
0:36:23 > 0:36:24I had a baby with a dildo.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- That's true.- That's in his film.
0:36:28 > 0:36:30It wasn't even an accident.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33That wasn't even an anecdote, it was written in by someone.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36No, we were hanging around and we were in a very beautiful part
0:36:36 > 0:36:39of New Zealand where there was a mountain over there
0:36:39 > 0:36:42and lovely big plains of lush green grass,
0:36:42 > 0:36:43and it was like a picturesque...
0:36:43 > 0:36:47It was like a postcard of how beautiful New Zealand can be.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50But I said, "OK, Aidan, if there was a gun at your head,
0:36:50 > 0:36:52"you've got to do one of these two things.
0:36:52 > 0:36:55"You've got to either walk away from this scene, not saying anything
0:36:55 > 0:36:57"to Peter Jackson or anybody else.
0:36:57 > 0:37:01"You've just got to walk away and go until you reach that mountain
0:37:01 > 0:37:03"and not say anything to anyone."
0:37:03 > 0:37:06"And when they say, 'Where's Aidan? He's got a line',
0:37:06 > 0:37:07"you'll just be fired."
0:37:07 > 0:37:10"That's over, because no-one would have explained it
0:37:10 > 0:37:13"and that'll be this job over and your name won't be..."
0:37:13 > 0:37:17- You know, he wouldn't have done Poldark, that's for sure.- No.
0:37:17 > 0:37:19"Or you've got to..."
0:37:19 > 0:37:21HE EXHALES
0:37:21 > 0:37:24"Or you've got to masturbate to completion
0:37:24 > 0:37:26"just in front of everyone here.
0:37:26 > 0:37:28"Don't say anything about it.
0:37:28 > 0:37:33"There's no... There's no introduction, there is no caveat.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35"You've got to do one of those, and if there was a gun at your head,
0:37:35 > 0:37:36"which one would you do?"
0:37:36 > 0:37:39And he thought about it and he chose the B - he chose B.
0:37:39 > 0:37:42Just because he figured that he wouldn't get fired.
0:37:42 > 0:37:43But he would get fired.
0:37:43 > 0:37:46I don't think he's getting Poldark after that either.
0:37:46 > 0:37:48You should be fired for that.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Yeah, I mean... If there's one thing I believe it's you should be
0:37:51 > 0:37:55fired for wanking on set. I'm all against that. I'm dead against that.
0:37:55 > 0:37:58- Were you an A or a B?- I want that on the record.- Were you A or B?
0:37:58 > 0:38:00I think I might have chosen the mountain
0:38:00 > 0:38:03because I don't want to masturbate on set.
0:38:03 > 0:38:05- I don't want to.- Why not? - Well, because...
0:38:05 > 0:38:09people look down on it. People say it's harassment and all that shit.
0:38:09 > 0:38:11In Hollywood you're more likely to keep working
0:38:11 > 0:38:14after masturbating on set, to be totally honest.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Maxine, I won't ask you, Maxine.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18- What, about masturbating on set? - No, I won't, no.- No.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21It's too long a story.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:38:23 > 0:38:25How do you think she lost all that weight?!
0:38:31 > 0:38:34Well, Paul Rudd, in the Ant-Man movie you went to
0:38:34 > 0:38:37extraordinary lengths to amuse yourself.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40Or were you trying to amuse other people, or just yourself?
0:38:40 > 0:38:44- Well, this is quite close to that. - Yeah, I think this is a perfect segue.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46What did you do?!
0:38:46 > 0:38:50Well, I was working opposite Michael Douglas in Ant-Man
0:38:50 > 0:38:55and, you know, he's a legend and I could never completely relax
0:38:55 > 0:39:00in front of him, even though he was very nice and cordial and sweet.
0:39:02 > 0:39:04Finally, it was his last day of shooting and I thought,
0:39:04 > 0:39:07"Ah, I want to be buddy-buddy with the guy,
0:39:07 > 0:39:09"I want him to think I'm cool."
0:39:09 > 0:39:12And I thought it would be funny if while it was on his close-up
0:39:12 > 0:39:16I could somehow recreate that scene from Basic Instinct...
0:39:16 > 0:39:19LAUGHTER
0:39:22 > 0:39:24..sitting across from him.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26So I didn't tell him, but I also didn't tell anybody.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And before, you know, we filmed the scene,
0:39:31 > 0:39:35- I unzipped my jeans and, you know...- Unfurled.- Unfurled.
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Not much of an unfurling, but I unfurled technically.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44And I sat down and I guess I didn't really take into account
0:39:44 > 0:39:47when sitting in a chair everything kind of like...
0:39:47 > 0:39:50My boxer shorts and everything...
0:39:50 > 0:39:56So while he's doing his scene, I'm trying to re-unfurl
0:39:56 > 0:39:59while holding my T-shirt over everything,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02so that he wouldn't see it,
0:40:02 > 0:40:05and as I'm doing it he's saying his line and it looked as if
0:40:05 > 0:40:06I was doing exactly what...
0:40:08 > 0:40:11- ..Martin says he would never do on set.- Oh, God!
0:40:14 > 0:40:15You picked option B.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19As I'm trying to uncross my legs and it was like trying...
0:40:20 > 0:40:22And he's such a pro -
0:40:22 > 0:40:27he didn't... He didn't stop his, you know, monologue.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Er, flicked his eyes down real quick,
0:40:30 > 0:40:33looked back at me and then just finally stopped in the middle
0:40:33 > 0:40:36and said, "What are you, a fucking pervert?"
0:40:36 > 0:40:39LAUGHTER
0:40:40 > 0:40:42And in that moment I thought,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45"This didn't play out as I'd anticipated."
0:40:48 > 0:40:52- You sexually assaulted Michael Douglas.- I did.
0:40:52 > 0:40:56And it was... The whole thing just, kind of, you know...
0:40:56 > 0:40:59blew up in my face, I guess.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Yeah, and...
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Right, it is time for music.
0:41:10 > 0:41:15This Grammy-nominated singer is only 19 years old and has already
0:41:15 > 0:41:19released three albums and sold over ten million records worldwide.
0:41:19 > 0:41:22Here performing Wild Horses, please welcome Birdy.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30# I'm a dreamer
0:41:30 > 0:41:34# But it's hard to sleep when your head's not in it
0:41:34 > 0:41:37# I've been restless cos you disappeared
0:41:37 > 0:41:39# And there's something missing
0:41:39 > 0:41:43# The earth is loose
0:41:43 > 0:41:45# Under my shoes
0:41:45 > 0:41:49# There's an angel and he's shaped like you
0:41:49 > 0:41:51# And I thought I know him
0:41:51 > 0:41:57# There's a window and it's dark where the light was in it
0:41:57 > 0:42:02# This can't be love if it hurts so much
0:42:02 > 0:42:05# I need to let go
0:42:07 > 0:42:13# And I will survive and be the one who's stronger
0:42:13 > 0:42:19# And I will not beg you to stay
0:42:19 > 0:42:25# I will move on and you should know I mean it
0:42:25 > 0:42:28# Wild horses run in me
0:42:31 > 0:42:37# I remember how we danced so close I would stand on your feet
0:42:37 > 0:42:40# And the phone calls that would last all night
0:42:40 > 0:42:42# They were lifeboats to me
0:42:42 > 0:42:44# Our fading scars
0:42:44 > 0:42:48# Just shooting stars
0:42:48 > 0:42:53# They're here They're gone
0:42:53 > 0:42:58# And I will survive and be the one who's stronger
0:42:58 > 0:43:04# And I will not beg you to stay
0:43:04 > 0:43:10# I will move on and you should know I mean it
0:43:10 > 0:43:14# Wild horses run in me
0:43:15 > 0:43:21# Our human hearts forget how strong they are
0:43:21 > 0:43:27# And they get lost along the way
0:43:27 > 0:43:32# It's not giving up It's letting go
0:43:32 > 0:43:37# And moving to a better place
0:43:38 > 0:43:43# I will survive and be the one who's stronger
0:43:43 > 0:43:47# And I will not beg you to stay
0:43:49 > 0:43:55# I will move on and you should know I mean it
0:43:55 > 0:43:59# Wild horses run in me
0:43:59 > 0:44:01# Yeah
0:44:01 > 0:44:06# I will survive and be the one who's stronger
0:44:06 > 0:44:10# And I will not beg you to stay
0:44:10 > 0:44:12# Yeah
0:44:12 > 0:44:18# I will move on and you should know I mean it
0:44:18 > 0:44:23# Wild horses run in me. #
