0:03:05 > 0:03:07Please welcome, for the first time to the show,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Jodie Foster, everybody!

0:03:09 > 0:03:13CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:13 > 0:03:15Hello. Thank you so much.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19Come in. Sit down, everybody. Sit down!

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Oh!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Welcome, all. Welcome, all.

0:03:24 > 0:03:25Ryan, you've never been here before.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Jodie's never been here before. - That's right.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Russell, have you been poisoning their minds about the show?

0:03:31 > 0:03:33No, I thought I'd leave the virgins to you, Graham!

0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Thank you, Russell.- No problem.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41What I liked, Graham, is when Ryan sat down, he undid his button.

0:03:41 > 0:03:42I can't actually do mine up!

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- You may do by the end of the show. - That's true.

0:03:48 > 0:03:52I am starting to sweat, Jodie. You're right.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Now, Ryan and Russell, you've been...

0:03:54 > 0:03:56Is this the end of your publicity tour?

0:03:56 > 0:03:57Thank God. Yeah.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59- LAUGHTER - We've got a couple of cities to go.

0:03:59 > 0:04:01Oh, you still? OK.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04I've been having a great time on this press tour. Yeah.

0:04:04 > 0:04:07Because Ryan attracts a lot of young women.

0:04:07 > 0:04:08- AUDIENCE:- Woo!

0:04:08 > 0:04:11But he's in a committed relationship so, you know...

0:04:11 > 0:04:13LAUGHTER

0:04:13 > 0:04:17If they need a shoulder to cry on, they need a father figure.

0:04:19 > 0:04:20I'm just glad Jodie's here, honestly,

0:04:20 > 0:04:24cos we need a little feminine energy up in this situation.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26It's been my job to provide that and I don't...

0:04:26 > 0:04:31You know, I've been doing my best, but the well only goes so deep.

0:04:31 > 0:04:34We've been through therapy, it's been a long run.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36But we're doing all right now, aren't we, pal?

0:04:36 > 0:04:38Can I touch you? Sorry.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42Russell doesn't like direct eye contact.

0:04:42 > 0:04:44He takes it as a sign of aggression.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47LAUGHTER

0:04:47 > 0:04:50Jodie and Russell, you haven't worked together,

0:04:50 > 0:04:51but you nearly worked together?

0:04:52 > 0:04:55No, I asked Jodie to be my date at the Golden Globes.

0:04:55 > 0:04:57I'd never been to the Golden Globes before

0:04:57 > 0:04:59and I wanted... You know, I was talking to her

0:04:59 > 0:05:01and it came up and I said, "Do you want to be my date?"

0:05:01 > 0:05:03And she very kindly said yes.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05So I arrived in Los Angeles to my hotel

0:05:05 > 0:05:08and I go into the hotel room and it was a fancy penthouse.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I was kind of like, "Whoa! Things have changed!"

0:05:11 > 0:05:15I walk in, I go into the bathroom and it had a big, round spa tub

0:05:15 > 0:05:20and the entire tub was full of Fosters beer cans and...

0:05:22 > 0:05:24It was like 120 cans or something to fill up the tub

0:05:24 > 0:05:26and I just thought that was the sweetest present.

0:05:26 > 0:05:27That's a good gift!

0:05:27 > 0:05:29I didn't want him to forget me!

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Greg, you mustn't be left out

0:05:31 > 0:05:33because we go to glamorous things, too.

0:05:33 > 0:05:36- Don't we?- Only recently we were at a BBC party.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41- We shared that glass of wine. It was fun.- Yeah. Between us!

0:05:43 > 0:05:45And we met that lovely lady.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Oh...

0:05:47 > 0:05:49I'm surprised you're bringing that lady up.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Are we allowed to bring that lady up?

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- Well, you tell me. It's your show. - It happened to you, not me.

0:05:54 > 0:05:56So, you tell them.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58W-w-what bit of it...?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00OK, so this lady came up to us.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03We were at a BBC party, she came up to the two... We were chatting.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Sharing our wine with straws and she went,

0:06:06 > 0:06:08"I do disability at the BBC,"

0:06:08 > 0:06:10whatever that means.

0:06:10 > 0:06:13And then she looked at him and what did she say to you?

0:06:13 > 0:06:15She said that I qualify.

0:06:15 > 0:06:19LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:06:19 > 0:06:22It was the height thing. Not the...

0:06:26 > 0:06:28- What a charmer.- Do you know what, Graham?

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Since we had that meeting when the lady told me that I was technically,

0:06:32 > 0:06:35as far as the BBC is concerned, disabled,

0:06:35 > 0:06:38I've had a member of a council, I won't name where,

0:06:38 > 0:06:41tell me I could get a parking badge.

0:06:41 > 0:06:46LAUGHTER

0:06:46 > 0:06:49The rest of the couch is so jealous right now.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50"Parking badge?"

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Up top.

0:06:52 > 0:06:53Thanks for that!

0:06:53 > 0:06:57LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:06:57 > 0:07:02I won't forget the day that Ryan Gosling high-fived me

0:07:02 > 0:07:05because I'm officially disabled.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09LAUGHTER

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Oh, dear. Now, it's great to have you here.

0:07:12 > 0:07:14It's great to have you back in our lives, Jodie.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18And you're back directing a big crowd-pleasing thriller,

0:07:18 > 0:07:20Money Monster. It open next Friday, May 27th.

0:07:20 > 0:07:24It's a film essentially about the modern financial world

0:07:24 > 0:07:26and how it affects people.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29Yes, the backdrop is the financial world

0:07:29 > 0:07:32and also the world of high-speed technology that we live in

0:07:32 > 0:07:34and also the world of broadcast

0:07:34 > 0:07:37live television.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39It's about a young man who has lost everything,

0:07:39 > 0:07:43was given a tip by this broadcasting guy, by this presenter.

0:07:43 > 0:07:47And he loses all of his money in one day, in nine minutes,

0:07:47 > 0:07:51and he comes on the show and has a bomb and a gun and says,

0:07:51 > 0:07:52"Tell me where my money went."

0:07:52 > 0:07:55And what an... Like, it is amazing. Julia Roberts and George Clooney.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58- I mean, there's no messing. - Yeah, amazing, the two of them.

0:07:58 > 0:08:00They have a real history, a real interesting dynamic together.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02A little bit of magic.

0:08:02 > 0:08:07And he... They're mostly virtually on-screen together

0:08:07 > 0:08:09because she speaks in his earpiece

0:08:09 > 0:08:14and he looks down the barrel of the camera to see her in the monitor.

0:08:14 > 0:08:18And, strangely, they feel closer than they ever have in a movie.

0:08:18 > 0:08:20Listen, we've got a clip from Money Monster.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23This is... I was saying, this is such a good clip.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26- It's Julia Roberts' character, she's the producer.- Yes.

0:08:26 > 0:08:31Warning George Clooney that the plot to end the siege

0:08:31 > 0:08:33is getting quite serious.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Benson, let me know when the control room is ready.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38This is Eagle 1. Target is in position.

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Where did everybody go?

0:08:43 > 0:08:44Where did they go?

0:08:47 > 0:08:50Dammit!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52I knew that this would happen!

0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Do you have a clean shot?- I don't.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58Lee, look at me.

0:08:58 > 0:09:00Don't look up, look at me.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04There is a sniper on the catwalk, at your one o'clock.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06Where did they go?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09There is a receiver on your vest.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12If he shoots it out, it disables the trigger.

0:09:12 > 0:09:15- Get out of there right now! - Come on.- Got a shot?

0:09:15 > 0:09:17- Are you green or red?- Green.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Take the shot!

0:09:19 > 0:09:21GUNSHOT

0:09:21 > 0:09:22That's good.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24INAUDIBLE SPEECH

0:09:24 > 0:09:25Are you OK?

0:09:28 > 0:09:31That is a good clip, right?

0:09:31 > 0:09:33You want to see that film, that is great.

0:09:33 > 0:09:35Maybe they'd show a clip of ours after that.

0:09:37 > 0:09:38No, yours is a good clip, too.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40You'll be pleased. You'll be pleased.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42- Two good films.- How's my clip?

0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Actually, yours is good too!- Yeah?

0:09:45 > 0:09:47- Yes! Three good clips.- Thanks.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50And I did the stunts in mine, boys, so...

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Now, in this movie, you're directing people like Julia Roberts

0:09:53 > 0:09:55and, you know, George Clooney,

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- who's been Oscar-nominated as a director himself.- Yes.- Do you...?

0:09:58 > 0:10:02Can you direct those people or do you just go, "That was excellent, well done?"

0:10:02 > 0:10:06No, I don't think there is anybody better to work with

0:10:06 > 0:10:08than an actor who has directed before.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11They know where the excisions are, they know what the problems are going to be,

0:10:11 > 0:10:14they want to work with the camera, they love the camera. And, um...

0:10:14 > 0:10:16They are excited to do it less times.

0:10:16 > 0:10:20I think the nice thing about actors that are experienced is they

0:10:20 > 0:10:22want to get it right so they can do it as few times as possible.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25Cos your first scene with George Clooney was sort of...

0:10:25 > 0:10:28I mean, did you know him well when you were directing the first scene?

0:10:28 > 0:10:31I didn't know him at all, no, and it was his first day of shooting and...

0:10:31 > 0:10:32He had a good attitude about it.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36His first scene, we're above him and he's just sitting on a toilet. Yeah.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40With his pants down, his underwear and his ankles.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43And, uh... He was into it. I don't really know why, but he was.

0:10:43 > 0:10:45LAUGHTER

0:10:45 > 0:10:47- But do you direct...? - You know George.

0:10:47 > 0:10:51I'm sure you have some wisdom about why he would like that. I have no idea.

0:10:51 > 0:10:52RYAN CLEARS THROAT

0:10:53 > 0:10:57But Ryan, you have worked with him and wasn't there a thing where

0:10:57 > 0:11:00he would come up and give you notes, like, really serious notes?

0:11:00 > 0:11:03Yeah, and then he would just throw water on my crotch.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09I mean, I think it was a practical joke, although it might have just been an accident.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11- I'm going to take it as a practical joke.- Did he do it every day?

0:11:11 > 0:11:14- What's that?- Did he throw water on your crotch everyday?

0:11:14 > 0:11:17I'm going to take a pass on that one.

0:11:17 > 0:11:18LAUGHTER

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Talking of pranking, Russell Crowe,

0:11:20 > 0:11:23what was the thing with Michael Jackson?

0:11:23 > 0:11:25- This is such an odd story.- What?

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Oh, he just got into the habit of wherever I was staying,

0:11:29 > 0:11:33he'd just call the hotel and ask for my room and put on funny voices.

0:11:33 > 0:11:35And... I'd actually... Yeah, I know.

0:11:35 > 0:11:37And... I didn't...I'd never met him, you know?

0:11:37 > 0:11:39LAUGHTER

0:11:39 > 0:11:42And the thing is, the first couple of people that I said it to,

0:11:42 > 0:11:45I was like...I didn't want to sound like I was insane, right? But...

0:11:45 > 0:11:48"Michael, you know, prank-called me today."

0:11:49 > 0:11:54But when I started talking to people who knew him well, they go, "Man, he does it all the time."

0:11:54 > 0:11:57But it was like, yeah... I used to do that when I was, like, 11 and 12.

0:11:58 > 0:12:01I used to pretend I was a radio announcer and, like,

0:12:01 > 0:12:03give people prizes on the phone.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Trips to Fiji and all that sort of stuff. They would get so excited. You know?

0:12:06 > 0:12:08And then I would just hang up and go,

0:12:08 > 0:12:11"Well, that was a good job well done. I've made that person's day."

0:12:11 > 0:12:14- But, yeah...- Who did Michael Jackson pretend to be?

0:12:14 > 0:12:19He would...always start off being, kind of, gruff like he was the hotel management

0:12:19 > 0:12:21and there was some kind of problem, you know?

0:12:21 > 0:12:25I have to say that's less surprising than saying you're Michael Jackson.

0:12:25 > 0:12:28Then if I got kind of irritated, he'd go, "Oh...

0:12:30 > 0:12:32- IMPERSONATION:- Don't worry, Russ, it's only Michael.

0:12:32 > 0:12:34LAUGHTER

0:12:34 > 0:12:37APPLAUSE

0:12:37 > 0:12:39That's bizarre!

0:12:40 > 0:12:42And did you ever meet him?

0:12:42 > 0:12:43Never.

0:12:44 > 0:12:46- No, he...- Are we sure it was Michael Jackson?

0:12:46 > 0:12:50- A double prank.- Are you sure it wasn't George Clooney?

0:12:50 > 0:12:51- Cos that's the kind of thing he does.- Is it?

0:12:51 > 0:12:54- It could have been George. - No, it was Michael.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57Every time I hear... I get this flashback every time I hear Russell speak.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I once almost drowned, Graham.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03And I was swimming and I got swept out to sea in Cornwall.

0:13:05 > 0:13:06And I realised I was struggling.

0:13:06 > 0:13:08There was a surfer and I called over to the surfer,

0:13:08 > 0:13:10"I'm really struggling here, mate."

0:13:10 > 0:13:12- And the surfer went... - BABBLES

0:13:12 > 0:13:14And I realised he was drowning too.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18So, in the end, I was on, like, a boogie board.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21In the end I had to ride a wave to a cliff.

0:13:22 > 0:13:24And cling onto the cliff and it was really jagged

0:13:24 > 0:13:26and I really cut my hands.

0:13:26 > 0:13:28And I sort of climbed off the cliff and I thought, "Oh, my God."

0:13:28 > 0:13:30And the waves were... It was awful.

0:13:30 > 0:13:35And then I saw this lifeguard coming out on, like, a canoe.

0:13:35 > 0:13:37He was really powerful and he turned out to be Australian.

0:13:37 > 0:13:39And I thought, "Oh, thank God!"

0:13:39 > 0:13:43There was literally blood, and I thought, "Thank God, I'm saved. I'm saved."

0:13:43 > 0:13:46And he came right up to me and turned round and he went,

0:13:46 > 0:13:47"Oi, mate. Stop fucking around."

0:13:47 > 0:13:49LAUGHTER

0:13:49 > 0:13:51APPLAUSE

0:13:53 > 0:13:54Was it... Was it him?

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Was it Russell Crowe?

0:13:57 > 0:13:59It could have been him.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01- That's something he would say. - Well...

0:14:01 > 0:14:03It's definitely something I would say.

0:14:03 > 0:14:05LAUGHTER

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Now, The Nice Guys, The Nice Guys.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12A really funny, really funny kind of crime comedy set in the '70s.

0:14:12 > 0:14:17It opens here on 3rd June, so, Russell, Ryan, tell us

0:14:17 > 0:14:19who are you in it? What happens?

0:14:21 > 0:14:23You're so good at this.

0:14:23 > 0:14:25- At what? Making you answer the questions?- Yeah.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29It's hard following that.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Money Monster.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34But, you know, our film is, you know, it's...

0:14:34 > 0:14:36It's a detective film in the '70s.

0:14:36 > 0:14:39- It's, um, got... We've got a lot going on.- Yeah.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42We've got mermaids, we've got talking bees.

0:14:42 > 0:14:43You know, you don't got that.

0:14:45 > 0:14:47Richard Nixon makes a cameo.

0:14:47 > 0:14:50- I thought you said I was going to tell the story.- Sorry. - LAUGHTER

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Come on, now. You were Best Couple.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55- You were very clear about me telling the story and then... - You're Best Couple.

0:14:55 > 0:14:56I've learnt a lot from Russell.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59You know, he's taught me to ignore all my instincts, which is good.

0:14:59 > 0:15:00LAUGHTER

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Look, it's Shane Black, so, you know, I grew up on Shane's movies,

0:15:05 > 0:15:08The Monster Squad being the first movie I probably ever quoted.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10And then, you know, Joel Silver produced it

0:15:10 > 0:15:13and so it's all of these, you know, all the Lethal Weapons

0:15:13 > 0:15:16and, uh...Xanadu too. So...

0:15:16 > 0:15:19- Legend.- And in these...

0:15:19 > 0:15:22In a buddy movie, like...

0:15:22 > 0:15:23Were you friends before this film?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26We'd... We met.

0:15:27 > 0:15:28We had a conversation.

0:15:28 > 0:15:30I was in this, sort of...

0:15:30 > 0:15:34You know, I've seen a few of his movies in a row and I thought...

0:15:36 > 0:15:39I thought he was something special, so I called him up about a project, you know?

0:15:39 > 0:15:41And...

0:15:41 > 0:15:45I kind of said, "Look, you know, can we maybe meet and have some dinner?

0:15:45 > 0:15:48"Me and the wife, you and your girl and, you know,

0:15:48 > 0:15:51"just an intimate, little thing." And he said, "Yeah, cool."

0:15:51 > 0:15:54We set a time and a date, so I told the ex-wife, you know,

0:15:54 > 0:15:55that's what we're going to do.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58On this date, you know. She didn't really say that much, you know.

0:15:58 > 0:16:01When it came round to the day, I said, "I'll remind you, eight o'clock tonight,

0:16:01 > 0:16:04"we're having dinner with Ryan and Eva", you know?

0:16:04 > 0:16:07And she goes, "Yeah, yeah, cos I've invited this, this,"

0:16:07 > 0:16:09and she started listed all her girlfriends that she'd invited.

0:16:09 > 0:16:11"No, no..." And her mum.

0:16:13 > 0:16:16"No, this is supposed to be this small, little, intimate thing.

0:16:16 > 0:16:17She goes, "Oh, he won't mind."

0:16:17 > 0:16:21It's like, "You've got like a dozen girlfriends and your mother coming. He's going to notice!"

0:16:23 > 0:16:25So, I started trying to even the table up,

0:16:25 > 0:16:27and I'm getting on the phone and calling all these blokes, so,

0:16:27 > 0:16:31by the time he arrives for an intimate dinner for four, there's 30 people there.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I couldn't tell him. I couldn't just, you know,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36because you've got to be, you know, be loyal to your spouse, you know?

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Now that I'm separated, I can just tell the story.

0:16:39 > 0:16:41LAUGHTER

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Yeah, so, that was a bit of a strange first meeting.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Listen, we've got a clip from The Nice Guys.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's good, it's a good clip. It is a good bit.

0:16:49 > 0:16:54This is Russell's character essentially trying to build bridges with Ryan's character.

0:16:54 > 0:16:58March. Jack Healy. Don't get upset. I'm not here to hurt you.

0:16:58 > 0:16:59I just want to ask you a question.

0:17:00 > 0:17:02Hey. No.

0:17:02 > 0:17:03How stupid do you think I am?

0:17:03 > 0:17:05Ever since your little visit the other day,

0:17:05 > 0:17:07this little baby's going to stay right here.

0:17:20 > 0:17:21Look away.

0:17:24 > 0:17:26You know there's a mirror here, right?

0:17:26 > 0:17:27Close your eyes.

0:17:28 > 0:17:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:17:34 > 0:17:38- It's funny.- Yeah.- So, given you've had the experience, who looks better on the toilet, George or...?

0:17:40 > 0:17:42- I don't know. That's a good question.- We're going to have to...

0:17:42 > 0:17:45People will have to go and see both films and decide. Yeah.

0:17:46 > 0:17:48GRAHAM LAUGHS

0:17:48 > 0:17:52When you were making this...this movie, where did the dog...?

0:17:52 > 0:17:55- The dog isn't in the film?- What dog? - You had a dog, didn't you?

0:17:56 > 0:17:58Oh, no, I found a dog on the...

0:17:58 > 0:18:00- On the film.- OK.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Would you like me to tell that story?

0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Yeah.- OK.

0:18:04 > 0:18:06LAUGHTER

0:18:06 > 0:18:08I can give it a go if you want.

0:18:08 > 0:18:09LAUGHTER

0:18:12 > 0:18:14Big, old dog it was, guys.

0:18:14 > 0:18:16Big, old dog.

0:18:16 > 0:18:17Three legs, stank.

0:18:18 > 0:18:21- Right?- Yeah, that's about right.

0:18:21 > 0:18:23No, the...

0:18:23 > 0:18:25So, I was staying at this sort of go-to movie guy house

0:18:25 > 0:18:27in Atlanta where, you know,

0:18:27 > 0:18:29when they showed me the house, they were like,

0:18:29 > 0:18:33"You know, Liam Hemsworth and Miley Cyrus just stayed here, so..."

0:18:33 > 0:18:37And they gave me one of these, you know? Thought that was untoward.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42But it was...they were very precious about the house.

0:18:42 > 0:18:44What I didn't realise was that there was a strict no dogs policy

0:18:44 > 0:18:47and then I was going to work one morning and there's a little dog.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51It's minus... It's below zero and I thought, "Oh, what harm can it do?"

0:18:52 > 0:18:54And I let it in the house.

0:18:54 > 0:18:58When I came back from work, it was like a faecal Jackson Pollock.

0:18:58 > 0:19:00LAUGHTER

0:19:00 > 0:19:02It was just... It was everywhere.

0:19:04 > 0:19:08- It was like, "Did he have help?" - LAUGHTER

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I was, like, looking up, like, "Did he get a ladder?"

0:19:11 > 0:19:13How does he...? How is he still alive?

0:19:15 > 0:19:16And...

0:19:16 > 0:19:18So, then I had to clean it all up and then I had to hide the dog

0:19:18 > 0:19:21and I spent, like, two weeks hiding this dog.

0:19:21 > 0:19:23And, you know, when it was over, the last day,

0:19:23 > 0:19:27I didn't know what I was going to do with it. Actually, your driver Bo...

0:19:27 > 0:19:28- Mm-hmm?- ..said that his, erm...

0:19:28 > 0:19:31His father had just lost his dog of 16 years

0:19:31 > 0:19:34and so Bo took this little dog and he went and lived on a lake

0:19:34 > 0:19:37with 100 acres and he went to, you know, literally a dog...

0:19:37 > 0:19:39- EVERYONE: Aw! - That's a nice story.

0:19:39 > 0:19:40- That's a lovely story.- Yeah, it is.

0:19:40 > 0:19:42APPLAUSE

0:19:42 > 0:19:44Did he kill it? Did he kill him?

0:19:44 > 0:19:47That's euphemistic for "killed it?"

0:19:47 > 0:19:51- That's what they told him.- Living on 100 acres now with Bo's dad!

0:19:51 > 0:19:54So dead, that dog. LAUGHTER

0:19:57 > 0:20:00He died after the shit incident, didn't he?

0:20:00 > 0:20:02LAUGHTER

0:20:02 > 0:20:04End of dog story.

0:20:04 > 0:20:05I think, on a movie like this,

0:20:05 > 0:20:07you're spending all this time together,

0:20:07 > 0:20:11you have to get on, you are buddies, but on Silence Of The Lambs,

0:20:11 > 0:20:14is it true... Did you never speak to Anthony Hopkins?

0:20:14 > 0:20:18No, never spoke to him. He was scary.

0:20:18 > 0:20:20I mean, the first day, we had a reading,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22we had like a little read-through and we...

0:20:22 > 0:20:24I got there early and then I went to the bathroom, I came back,

0:20:24 > 0:20:27everybody was sitting down, we did the read-through of the film

0:20:27 > 0:20:30and by the end of it, I never wanted to talk to him again.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32I was petrified.

0:20:32 > 0:20:35And so then we did the whole movie, he was always behind those glass

0:20:35 > 0:20:38partitions, or he was in his cell, and because the scenes were

0:20:38 > 0:20:41so long, they'd kind of lock him in at the beginning of the day

0:20:41 > 0:20:44and he'd go there and then the next day, he'd be on the other side

0:20:44 > 0:20:47and I'd be on this side, and we got to the end of the movie

0:20:47 > 0:20:50and really had never had a conversation.

0:20:50 > 0:20:54- But you never passed backstage, in a corridor...?- No, I avoided him.

0:20:54 > 0:20:56As much as I could.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I really avoided him and then, I was eating a tuna fish sandwich,

0:20:59 > 0:21:01it was the last day and he came up to me,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04I guess he sidled up to me and I said, I don't know, I sort of had

0:21:04 > 0:21:07a tear in my eye, I was like, "I was really scared of you."

0:21:07 > 0:21:09And he said, "I was scared of you!"

0:21:09 > 0:21:13Which I think is funny because why would anyone be scared of me?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16- So, when you were filming the... - GREG SLURPS RAPIDLY

0:21:16 > 0:21:18The scene... You know, I'm available.

0:21:18 > 0:21:21Could you do that again?

0:21:21 > 0:21:24When you were filming the scenes when he was behind the partition,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27when they reset cameras, you just sat there?

0:21:27 > 0:21:29Well, yeah, because he was screwed in.

0:21:29 > 0:21:32- I couldn't get to him, he was behind the glass.- Did he stare at you?

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Erm...sometimes he did.

0:21:36 > 0:21:39I don't have an Anthony Hopkins story, but I would like to

0:21:39 > 0:21:40take the opportunity,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44I taught a child called Gary Hopkins, who was...

0:21:44 > 0:21:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:21:48 > 0:21:51And I'd very much like to take the opportunity to say he was a prick.

0:21:51 > 0:21:54LAUGHTER

0:21:56 > 0:21:58CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:22:00 > 0:22:02Now...

0:22:02 > 0:22:05Russell Crowe, I've heard about how you like challenges and stuff,

0:22:05 > 0:22:10and one of the shows that Greg's doing is a new series of Taskmaster.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12It's on Dave and it is that sort of thing,

0:22:12 > 0:22:16- you set challenges for kind of celebrities and comedians.- Yeah.

0:22:16 > 0:22:19But they're quite... They're kind of bonkers, the challenges.

0:22:19 > 0:22:21They're ridiculous, yeah.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24They have to collect as many tears in an eggcup as they can

0:22:24 > 0:22:26in a minute.

0:22:26 > 0:22:29They had to buy me the best present they could and one of them

0:22:29 > 0:22:31had my name tattooed on his foot.

0:22:31 > 0:22:35- Josh Widdicombe. You know Josh Widdicombe?- You're kidding!- Yeah.

0:22:35 > 0:22:37Who can hide a pineapple on their person.

0:22:40 > 0:22:43And I think my favourite from the upcoming series is who can

0:22:43 > 0:22:47impress a mayor. They were just put in a room with a local mayor...

0:22:49 > 0:22:54- ..and told to impress him.- A MAYOR or a MARE?- A mayor, yeah.

0:22:54 > 0:22:57- A mayor. Not a horse. - Not a horse.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59Because THAT would be stupid.

0:22:59 > 0:23:02A different show.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05- And we've got to mention the new series of Man Down.- Please.

0:23:05 > 0:23:08Man Down is coming up on Channel 4 in July.

0:23:08 > 0:23:12- Are you still living with your mother in it?- I am, sadly, yes.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15And tragically, this is based on your life. I mean, this is things...

0:23:15 > 0:23:19Yeah, but... I mean...

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Loosely, Graham!

0:23:21 > 0:23:23No, but things like... Isn't the washing machine,

0:23:23 > 0:23:27- that happened to you? - What?- The washing.

0:23:27 > 0:23:31- You were very hungover...- Oh. Yeah.

0:23:32 > 0:23:35Go on, tell Jodie Foster that story!

0:23:35 > 0:23:38All their stories are really cool though, Graham.

0:23:38 > 0:23:43When I was teaching, which is what this show is based on,

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I went home one weekend and I was in my 30s.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48I was probably 33 years of age.

0:23:48 > 0:23:52I went home to see my mother and then I went back, and while I was

0:23:52 > 0:23:56at home, my mother did my washing for me, because I was only 33.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00And then I went back and on the Sunday night,

0:24:00 > 0:24:05I got really drunk and then I went for a curry.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07And then the next day, I went into school...

0:24:07 > 0:24:09LAUGHTER

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I'm going to.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13I went into school and it was a school in Slough

0:24:13 > 0:24:14and it was quite a rough school,

0:24:14 > 0:24:17but they had a really brilliant hearing-impaired department,

0:24:17 > 0:24:21so there were hearing-impaired kids who, you know, struggled.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23They were really looked after in the school.

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Anyway, I was really hung over, I went there and about break time,

0:24:26 > 0:24:29I felt really uncomfortable, I thought, "Something's not right,"

0:24:29 > 0:24:32you know? So I went to the toilet

0:24:32 > 0:24:34and I pulled my trousers down

0:24:34 > 0:24:38and some of my mother's knickers had got...

0:24:38 > 0:24:44had got mixed up in the washing and I was wearing my mother's underwear.

0:24:44 > 0:24:48And I went, "Oh, God! Oh, no! Oh!" I remember going, "Oh, you loser!

0:24:48 > 0:24:54"This is such a low point! You fucking loser!"

0:24:54 > 0:24:56And then...

0:24:56 > 0:25:02And then the curry and the booze kicked in from the night before,

0:25:02 > 0:25:06so I, I did like a faecal Jackson Pollock.

0:25:06 > 0:25:09LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:25:09 > 0:25:13And I started... I started going,

0:25:13 > 0:25:16"Oh, God! Not this! Not this as well!

0:25:16 > 0:25:17"Oh, Jesus!"

0:25:17 > 0:25:21So I cleaned myself up and I pulled my mother's pants back up,

0:25:21 > 0:25:25and I went back into the classroom

0:25:25 > 0:25:27and I saw one of the hearing-impaired kids just

0:25:27 > 0:25:30looking at me like this, and that's when I remembered that

0:25:30 > 0:25:32I had a microphone directly...

0:25:32 > 0:25:34LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:25:34 > 0:25:36..connected...

0:25:37 > 0:25:40..to his hearing aid.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50So maybe Man Down isn't that far-fetched, Graham.

0:25:50 > 0:25:53Listen, we've got a clip. We've got a clip of you.

0:25:53 > 0:25:59This is Greg as the teacher trying to break into your own school.

0:25:59 > 0:26:00Oh, yeah.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12FENCE CREAKS

0:26:12 > 0:26:14Oh!

0:26:27 > 0:26:30HE GASPS

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Ah! Oh!

0:26:37 > 0:26:40HE RETCHES

0:26:46 > 0:26:50HE RETCHES Argh!

0:26:57 > 0:27:00- I'm clapping my own show. - I know.- Thank you.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Three very good clips tonight. Three excellent clips.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07- Very similar genres.- Yes.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11Jodie, we must chat about how you perceived that drama!

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Right.

0:27:13 > 0:27:17It is time to meet my next guest. Mm, chlorine, is that what I smell?

0:27:17 > 0:27:20This diver was one of Britain's youngest ever Olympic medallists,

0:27:20 > 0:27:24he took London 2012 by storm and is now preparing for the Games in Rio.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26Here he is showing us

0:27:26 > 0:27:29how he won a gold medal at last week's European Championships.

0:27:34 > 0:27:37Good, right? Please welcome Tom Daley!

0:27:40 > 0:27:43- Hello!- Hello.- How are you?

0:27:43 > 0:27:47Nice to see you. Come in and sit down.

0:27:47 > 0:27:51You perch on the edge there. Say hello to everyone.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53You perch down there.

0:27:53 > 0:27:55- There's your fizzy drink. - Thank you.- Very good.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57- That was amazing! - Thank you.- That is amazing.

0:27:57 > 0:27:58Now, congratulations. A gold medal.

0:27:58 > 0:28:02- Yes.- And gold medal... Did you get silvers as well?

0:28:02 > 0:28:05- Yeah, I got two golds and a silver. - AUDIENCE: Woo!

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Yeah. APPLAUSE

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Now, Rio is this summer, so are you deep in training now?

0:28:11 > 0:28:14Yeah, so after the European Championships last weekend,

0:28:14 > 0:28:18I have had a couple of days off and then, it's back to training

0:28:18 > 0:28:22six hours a day, six days a week and then it's the Olympic Games.

0:28:22 > 0:28:23It's kind of terrifying

0:28:23 > 0:28:26because you get that training moment for four years,

0:28:26 > 0:28:29you have to train for that one moment, and it doesn't matter

0:28:29 > 0:28:32if you're European Champion, World Champion, Olympic Champion

0:28:32 > 0:28:36from before, in that one moment on that particular day, you have six

0:28:36 > 0:28:38dives and if you mess one of them up, then it's over,

0:28:38 > 0:28:41so it's a pretty cut-throat kind of thing.

0:28:41 > 0:28:45Do people deliver your food in little Tupperware boxes and things?

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- What? Take it like a packed lunch? - LAUGHTER

0:28:48 > 0:28:52No, in the training, is it kind of like, you can eat this now, stop eating now?

0:28:52 > 0:28:57You kind of get into a routine of what you're used to eating and what you wake up.

0:28:57 > 0:29:00I'll like have a routine where I get up and have my breakfast,

0:29:00 > 0:29:03go to training, then eat a bit more, then train some more,

0:29:03 > 0:29:07then eat a bit more, then sleep, and that's basically what I do every single day.

0:29:07 > 0:29:10- When do you put on the Speedos?- Mm? - When do you put on the Speedos?

0:29:10 > 0:29:15- Oh, I basically live in them. - Oh, do you?- Yeah, quite often... - Jodie's on it!

0:29:15 > 0:29:17- I want to know.- We've got a picture.

0:29:17 > 0:29:20Stella McCartney has designed the Speedos.

0:29:20 > 0:29:23Sadly, she ran out of material, money and interest.

0:29:23 > 0:29:25LAUGHTER

0:29:25 > 0:29:27So...

0:29:27 > 0:29:28Those are the Speedos.

0:29:28 > 0:29:33They sent us a pair of the Speedos and they really are quite small.

0:29:33 > 0:29:36- Those are the ones I was wearing yesterday.- Hm.

0:29:36 > 0:29:38Um... LAUGHTER

0:29:38 > 0:29:40How lovely(!)

0:29:40 > 0:29:42Yeah.

0:29:42 > 0:29:47They're still damp. But like, they are very small, Tom.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50- Well, everything has to stay in place.- Obviously.

0:29:50 > 0:29:54If you're spinning around, the last thing you want to do is have

0:29:54 > 0:29:57something come out of its place where it's meant to be.

0:29:57 > 0:30:00And also, when you hit the water, you don't

0:30:00 > 0:30:04want things flapping about because it would hurt.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07So the closer you can keep it all in, the better, really.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10You're going to ask me to put those on, aren't you?

0:30:10 > 0:30:12LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE I wasn't.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15CHEERING

0:30:15 > 0:30:17I was only joking, Russell.

0:30:17 > 0:30:20It would look like a very ill elephant.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23But what I would...

0:30:23 > 0:30:26I don't want to be indelicate, but what if anything changes

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- and you're wearing those?- Oh.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I mean, when you're stood on the end...

0:30:31 > 0:30:33Have you ever stood on the end of a ten metre platform?

0:30:33 > 0:30:35Of course I haven't.

0:30:35 > 0:30:37So that's probably the last thing that will go through your head

0:30:37 > 0:30:39is to have anything change down there.

0:30:39 > 0:30:43What about when they give you the medal and you're thinking - look at me!

0:30:43 > 0:30:47LAUGHTER Urgh!

0:30:49 > 0:30:51Leaning in and going, "Oh, sorry."

0:30:51 > 0:30:54You wear a little bit more on the podium.

0:30:54 > 0:30:58- You actually wear a full-on tracksuit.- Oh, that's thoughtful.

0:30:58 > 0:31:00- Exactly. - Is that why they wear the tracksuit?

0:31:00 > 0:31:04I don't think that's why they give them tracksuits.

0:31:04 > 0:31:06In case they get a boner on the podium.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08LAUGHTER

0:31:08 > 0:31:12I have to tell you, on this couch, there is

0:31:12 > 0:31:15someone who has won medals for swimming.

0:31:15 > 0:31:19- I could probably guess who that is. - Guess.- The tallest man on the sofa.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Thank you.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23LAUGHTER

0:31:23 > 0:31:26That is a swimmer's physique.

0:31:26 > 0:31:30That's why you never trust "swimmer's body" on a personal ad.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Did you really win medals?

0:31:33 > 0:31:37Yes, I did and I'm rather insulted you taking that tone with me.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39- I swam for county, yes.- Did you really?- I don't mind telling you,

0:31:39 > 0:31:42I cut through the water like an orca these days.

0:31:42 > 0:31:44LAUGHTER

0:31:47 > 0:31:49Ryan, you are a sports fan? You're not a sports fan?

0:31:49 > 0:31:53- Cricket, you like?- I'll pick up on this one. Ryan comes from Canada.

0:31:53 > 0:31:55CHEERING

0:31:55 > 0:31:59In Canada, the national sport is ice hockey.

0:31:59 > 0:32:03And Ryan is a Canadian who doesn't focus on ice hockey.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06And they have a descriptive phrase for that,

0:32:06 > 0:32:08north of the American border there.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12In Canada, if you're a Canadian who doesn't focus on ice hockey,

0:32:12 > 0:32:15- you're called an arsehole. - LAUGHTER

0:32:16 > 0:32:19See? That's the magic.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22Right there. Right in the crosshairs.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24But then, why were you having the...

0:32:24 > 0:32:28Was it a deep tissue massage you were having?

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Where are you going with this, Graham?

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Weren't you having a Turkish massage or something?

0:32:34 > 0:32:37I don't know what it has to do with what we're talking about.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40It's a funny story, tell it.

0:32:40 > 0:32:44I had an awful experience, having a Turkish massage,

0:32:44 > 0:32:49where this guy's idea of massage

0:32:49 > 0:32:53was to like take my one leg

0:32:53 > 0:32:56and the other arm and try and connect it

0:32:56 > 0:33:01behind my back and I was kind of like... You know, like that.

0:33:01 > 0:33:05And then his belly went in my mouth.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07LAUGHTER

0:33:07 > 0:33:09It was like a Borat moment.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11And you know when you get something weird in your mouth

0:33:11 > 0:33:14and if you're eating something,

0:33:14 > 0:33:17- your brain sends your tongue to figure out what it is? - LAUGHTER

0:33:19 > 0:33:23It's not a conscious thought. It's like, is that a bone? Figure that out!

0:33:23 > 0:33:28The tongue goes in to figure it out. My tongue was like, "What is that?

0:33:28 > 0:33:30"It's a hairy belly!"

0:33:30 > 0:33:34This sounds like you're heading off a newspaper.

0:33:34 > 0:33:36Listen, Tom, good luck in Rio.

0:33:36 > 0:33:38We wish you all the best. Tom Daley, everybody.

0:33:38 > 0:33:41CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:33:41 > 0:33:45Right. It's time for music. I am a huge fan of this performer.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48Tonight, he is making his TV debut,

0:33:48 > 0:33:51alongside a very special friend and mentor.

0:33:51 > 0:33:53Performing the single All In The Name,

0:37:48 > 0:37:51Say hi to everybody. Elton John, everybody.

0:37:51 > 0:37:55This is Rod. Are we calling you Rod?

0:37:55 > 0:37:58I know that's your name.

0:37:58 > 0:38:01But I'm not calling you Bright Light Bright Light.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:38:05 > 0:38:10This is Bright Light Bright Light, but we can call you Rod.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12You can, yes.

0:38:12 > 0:38:15OK, good. So, how did this happen? How do you become...?

0:38:15 > 0:38:18- How do you meet? - I have a management company.

0:38:18 > 0:38:21I manage Ed Sheeran and various people like that.

0:38:21 > 0:38:22And Rod was signed to us initially,

0:38:22 > 0:38:26but he was a singer-songwriter with a guitar and it didn't quite fit

0:38:26 > 0:38:31and he wanted to leave and find his own way of doing stuff.

0:38:31 > 0:38:35And he left and became a kind of electronic singer-songwriter

0:38:35 > 0:38:40and we remained friends. And he does everything on his own.

0:38:40 > 0:38:44He makes his own records. Get gets them printed, he gets them pressed.

0:38:44 > 0:38:47- He's a one-man machine. - And Choreography is the album.

0:38:47 > 0:38:52- Yes.- And you can pre-order it now. People love to do that.

0:39:24 > 0:39:29You're starting a tour on the 26th of May,

0:39:29 > 0:39:32which ends February 2017.

0:39:32 > 0:39:36No, I have seven weeks off in the summer.

0:39:36 > 0:39:39LAUGHTER Is this...?

0:39:39 > 0:39:42I know you're not calling it a farewell tour,

0:39:42 > 0:39:45but if people want to see you, should they go see this tour?

0:39:45 > 0:39:48- No, not necessarily. - You've got to encourage them.

0:39:48 > 0:39:50LAUGHTER

0:39:54 > 0:39:59But by 2017, won't both the kids be in school

0:39:59 > 0:40:02and then your life will be more limited?

0:40:05 > 0:40:07I love to do it.

0:40:07 > 0:40:09I like it more than I've ever done and
