0:02:25 > 0:02:30That's all that is. Yeah. The whole thing is being called "Pussygate". Yeah.

0:02:30 > 0:02:34Mind you, if you Google the words "Trump" and "pussy", you get this.

0:03:18 > 0:03:22I all a quiver. It's Jeremy Renner!

0:03:22 > 0:03:27- Here he is, come on in. Hello, sir. How are you?- How you doing? - I'm very well.

0:03:27 > 0:03:32Lovely to see you. That's Chris O'Dowd, that's Jeremy!

0:03:32 > 0:03:35This actress has played everything from Giselle in Enchanted

0:03:35 > 0:03:37to Lois Lane in Superman.

0:03:37 > 0:03:41Along the way, she's collected five, uh-huh, FIVE Oscar nominations.

0:03:49 > 0:03:52Va-va-voom! Hello, welcome. Come in, sit down, say hello to everybody.

0:03:52 > 0:03:56APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:03:57 > 0:04:02Welcome, all! Now, I think, Chris, you could shove up a little.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05- Sure!- Yeah, go on. Pretend to like each other, go on.- Oh, that's nice.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It's show business. It's show business.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10I must say, I was very impressed. We've never had this before.

0:04:10 > 0:04:17- When Chris O'Dowd came out, somebody waved a full Irish flag.- What?!

0:04:17 > 0:04:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:21 > 0:04:27- Wow!- I'm so sorry. No stars and stripes. I mean, it's just rude.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31- It's just rude. Is that for Chris or for Niall Horan? CHRIS:- It's for Chris!

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- WOMAN:- Chris! - Oh, it's for Chris! Lovely.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36I'll tell you, it is exciting, of course,

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- because we are having a One Directioner on later.- I know.

0:04:39 > 0:04:42- Are you all fans of the One Direction?- Very much so.- Good.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46Good, good. Obviously, he's in a very successful band.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49But quite a musical couch.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Because Amy, obviously we know you can sing because of Enchanted. - Yeah.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55But in school, you weren't in a band.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59- I wasn't in a band but I dated a guy in a band.- Oh, hello.- And he played guitar.

0:04:59 > 0:05:01I thought he was very talented cos I didn't know

0:05:01 > 0:05:05anything about Led Zeppelin and I thought he wrote Stairway To Heaven.

0:05:05 > 0:05:09- Is that because he told you he did? - I think he thought it would get him...

0:05:09 > 0:05:14- Further...- It didn't work?- We don't need to talk about that.- That's OK.

0:05:14 > 0:05:16Was it a stairway to heaven?

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Jeremy Renner, you WERE in a band?

0:05:20 > 0:05:23- Yeah, back in the day, I was. Yeah. - What was the name of your band?

0:05:23 > 0:05:26- Erm, well... Hot Ice. - LAUGHTER

0:05:26 > 0:05:29- That's my favourite kind of ice. - Yeah, yeah.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36Close your eyes and imagine what the band Hot Ice might look like. OK?

0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Did you come up with this?- 1986...

0:05:39 > 0:05:42LAUGHTER

0:05:42 > 0:05:48- Oh, that's a full sexy mullet there.- Yeah, it was terrible.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51- Was he the drummer?- No, I was the drummer!- Oh, you were the drummer!

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- I'm the drummer, yeah.- What was he? - He played guitar.- Oh, OK.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57- Was he the singer? - He's the singer.- Oh, OK, correct.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00By the way, we all learned how to play the instruments...

0:06:00 > 0:06:02Nobody knew how to play anything. So, we just started...

0:06:02 > 0:06:04"OK, you're going to be the drummer."

0:06:04 > 0:06:07I'm like, "OK, I'll get some sticks and start banging on shit..."

0:06:07 > 0:06:11And then we started a band. Ultimately, the best thing about this band is that we broke up.

0:06:11 > 0:06:16It got us out of jail and we didn't do anything bad. Except play bad music.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- But Chris O'Dowd, you were in a band as well.- Very much so.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Why are you looking at me like that? - I don't know.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25I think you're interested in music.

0:06:25 > 0:06:28I was in a band as a teenager called The Basket Weavers.

0:06:30 > 0:06:34We were a quartet. But only one of us could play an instrument.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39And that guy only knew songs by, and I guess this places us in

0:06:39 > 0:06:43a time, he only knew songs by the Crash Test Dummies.

0:06:44 > 0:06:48And sadly, we fell apart because he got shingles.

0:06:50 > 0:06:53- So...- Now, Chris also has another connection to music.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58- And you guys may not get this.- OK.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01But you apparently get sent this a lot.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05You know the way on websites, you get those things on the bottom,

0:07:05 > 0:07:09"20 child actors, you won't believe what they look like now."

0:07:09 > 0:07:12- Oh, Jesus! - LAUGHTER

0:07:12 > 0:07:16So, this is one called "20 photos that will shock you".

0:07:16 > 0:07:19It's a list of celebs ruined by drugs. OK?

0:07:19 > 0:07:22Celebs ruined by drugs.

0:07:22 > 0:07:23This is number 12.

0:07:26 > 0:07:29LAUGHTER

0:07:31 > 0:07:35- Yeah, it's amazing. Amazing. I mean... - APPLAUSE

0:07:35 > 0:07:37HE'S a celebrity.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41- Ah!- That's Shane MacGowan. He used to be in a band called The Pogues.

0:07:41 > 0:07:43He's a fantastic kind of punk...

0:07:43 > 0:07:48What's frustrating about the photo is I can see it. You know?

0:07:48 > 0:07:52- You're not way off. - It's like a Sunday morning for you?

0:07:52 > 0:07:56I get sent it a lot. I mean, he's a fantastic...

0:07:56 > 0:08:01I met him once, randomly, at an Irish awards thing and he is.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04He's a great kind of, I suppose we would call it, like,

0:08:04 > 0:08:06punk trad, is that what you'd call it?

0:08:06 > 0:08:10But fantastic singer and I met him at, like, an Irish awards thing and he was

0:08:10 > 0:08:13getting a lifetime achievement and I was getting some nonsense for comedy.

0:08:13 > 0:08:17And at some stage, his manager came over and said, "You know, Shane would love to meet you."

0:08:17 > 0:08:19And he'd be a big hero of mine.

0:08:19 > 0:08:21And "Shane would love to meet you, he's a big fan."

0:08:21 > 0:08:24So, I was like, "Great," and it was like, it was a black-tie thing.

0:08:24 > 0:08:26But it was during the summer,

0:08:26 > 0:08:28so I'd taken my jacket off and I went over and sat with him.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31And I was babbling on. And he wasn't making a lot of conversation.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35But I was like, "I'm talking to Shane MacGowan, this is a big moment!"

0:08:35 > 0:08:41And then eventually, he said, "I'll just have a vodka tonic".

0:08:41 > 0:08:44And I realised, he thought I was a waiter.

0:08:44 > 0:08:46LAUGHTER

0:08:46 > 0:08:48I crumbled.

0:08:48 > 0:08:51- I had to get it for him! - Of course you did!

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Right, ladies and gentlemen. Three great films tonight.

0:08:54 > 0:08:56Amy and Jeremy, they're in a big new sci-fi movie together.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59It's called Arrival. And it opens on 10 November.

0:08:59 > 0:09:02And it's one of those things, it involves aliens and it's got

0:09:02 > 0:09:05everything you want, the big budget, the special effects.

0:09:05 > 0:09:08But at the same time, it's a very thoughtful film.

0:09:08 > 0:09:10Yeah, it definitely has an emotional heartbeat to it.

0:09:10 > 0:09:15And it has an intimacy to it. And, yeah, it's really compelling.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- It really is.- Yeah. - Now, you can tell us who you play.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21I mean, we can't talk about the plot much because it will give

0:09:21 > 0:09:23- everything away.- Yes. - But we can know who you are.

0:09:23 > 0:09:25Yes, I play Louise Banks,

0:09:25 > 0:09:28who's a linguist brought in to help decipher the alien language.

0:09:28 > 0:09:32- And we work together as a team. - Yeah, and I play a mathematician... uhm...physicist,

0:09:32 > 0:09:35that teams up with her to help communicate with the

0:09:35 > 0:09:40- alien beings.- And now, apparently the science behind this film.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Now, bear with us.

0:09:42 > 0:09:47- It's sort of based in some reality, the science behind this film.- Yes.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50But bear with us! Because I'm not very good at science,

0:09:50 > 0:09:52so I can't explain it to you.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54So, I just had to sort of accept it and every time it would get too

0:09:54 > 0:09:57scientific my brain goes, like straight to my musical theatre,

0:09:57 > 0:10:00like, # O-o-o-klahoma! #

0:10:00 > 0:10:03That's the only thing that saves me. Jeremy's much better at science.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Did you wrap your head around it?

0:10:05 > 0:10:11Uh, well, I don't know about my head but I got an idea of what we were talking about.

0:10:11 > 0:10:13But it's not really the most interesting to talk about

0:10:13 > 0:10:16so I wanted to create some sort of emotional content,

0:10:16 > 0:10:20to zeros and ones and binary, otherwise, it's really quite boring.

0:10:20 > 0:10:25So, you know, to be excited about zeros and ones, you know, or whatever,

0:10:25 > 0:10:29- I had to create emotional content to it.- Because the director,

0:10:29 > 0:10:31am I right in thinking his first language isn't English?

0:10:31 > 0:10:36- That is correct.- Yeah.- OK, well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Yes! He's French-Canadian, so he speaks French as a first language.

0:10:40 > 0:10:44Definitely. And makes little effort to try to speak English.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Which is fine but when you're working with people who don't

0:10:48 > 0:10:51understand French... It gets a little complicated.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Maybe that's why the set felt so calm to us.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Like, he might be saying bad things about us but he was just

0:10:55 > 0:10:58saying it in French, so, we're like, "He is so sweet, that..."

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Just love him!

0:11:00 > 0:11:05He is a really calm and docile and loving and emotionally intelligent guy.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09But he would say the weirdest things because of his inability to

0:11:09 > 0:11:11really get his point across in English.

0:11:11 > 0:11:16He would try to direct us on his very quiet sets and he said something really,

0:11:16 > 0:11:20very inappropriate. What did he say to you?

0:11:20 > 0:11:24He said, "I loved that very much

0:11:24 > 0:11:27"and I will now take you from behind.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30LAUGHTER

0:11:30 > 0:11:33I said, "I'm so sorry," I was in the middle of a serious scene.

0:11:33 > 0:11:36I said, "I'm so sorry, Denis, I don't mean to be laughing."

0:11:36 > 0:11:38He was like, "What have I said?

0:11:38 > 0:11:41"No, no, no, I think you mistook me. I mean, I will take you from behind but use a camera."

0:11:41 > 0:11:46- LAUGHTER - I'm like, that's not going to get any better, OK...

0:11:46 > 0:11:49He was like, "Amy, Amy, I'm going to come very close here

0:11:49 > 0:11:53"and the focus..." He says "fuc-as" instead of focus.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56He says, "Is it right for fuc-as?"

0:11:56 > 0:11:58"Fuc-as!" I'm like, "What's he talking about?"

0:11:58 > 0:12:05He's like, "Jeremy, I'm going to come over here and take the camera and now come on YOUR face."

0:12:05 > 0:12:07LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:12:07 > 0:12:10I'm like, "No, man, you don't get to say that to me..."

0:12:12 > 0:12:15All right, let's see a clip from Arrival.

0:12:15 > 0:12:21- This is the two of you kind of trying to communicate with the aliens.- Yes.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29- RADIO:- Doctor Banks? - It's OK.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32- What are you doing?- I'm fine.

0:12:32 > 0:12:36- Are you insane?- They need to see me.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41She's taking off her hazmat suit. Doctor Banks! Is she OK?

0:12:46 > 0:12:49LOW HUM

0:12:51 > 0:12:54SHE BREATHES HEAVILY

0:12:56 > 0:12:59TENSE MUSIC BUILDS

0:13:01 > 0:13:06Argh! It's good, right? APPLAUSE

0:13:11 > 0:13:15I heard you talking, Jeremy, you're not a fan of being in those suits.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17- The hazmat suits? - Is that what they are?

0:13:17 > 0:13:20Yeah, they were real hazmat suits and, yeah,

0:13:20 > 0:13:24I don't think it's really, I mean, you have to be careful what you eat.

0:13:26 > 0:13:29And drink. Because it's like a Hefty bag, right?

0:13:29 > 0:13:32- And it's just not pleasant. Like, "Oh, man..." - HE SNIFFS

0:13:32 > 0:13:35"It smells like vodka in here. I'm not sure why...

0:13:37 > 0:13:40"And Indian food, strangely."

0:13:40 > 0:13:42Yeah, they didn't breathe and they weren't,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45compared to the bomb suit in Hurt Locker, it was really kind of

0:13:45 > 0:13:48nothing but still kind of awkward, and you have this thing on.

0:13:48 > 0:13:51- And there was a fan in there, right? Remember those fans?- Yeah.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54But it wasn't to cool you down, it was just to make sure you can see.

0:13:54 > 0:13:59- From the only little foggy... - I thought you meant someone who liked you.

0:13:59 > 0:14:02- LAUGHTER - Oh, that kind of fan! Who was inside with me?

0:14:02 > 0:14:05- You do it so well! - LAUGHTER

0:14:05 > 0:14:08Awesome.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12Because Chris O'Dowd, are you finished your big sci-fi film or are you in the middle of it now?

0:14:12 > 0:14:16Oh, yeah, I've just wrapped on, like, a space movie(!)

0:14:16 > 0:14:20- Which was... - It's JJ Abrams. I mean, it's big.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23- It's going to be great(!) - LAUGHTER

0:14:23 > 0:14:28I don't know why I'm saying it like that. It's going to be great!

0:14:28 > 0:14:30LAUGHTER

0:14:30 > 0:14:35Again, still not. But I struggled at times because I found the kind of suspension

0:14:35 > 0:14:42of disbelief difficult. Just to kind of be like, "Oh, we're, you know, not on Earth."

0:14:42 > 0:14:48So, we would kind of do the normal dialogue and I guess I only

0:14:48 > 0:14:52got a glimpse of your movie but it's again, there's a lot of peril.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55We're trying to save, erm, the world...

0:14:55 > 0:14:59And there are moments of great tension.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02And then you get to the end of the scene and the written dialogue and there might be

0:15:02 > 0:15:05a little kind of improv or something.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09And usually I'm feeling kind of comfortable in those situations

0:15:09 > 0:15:14but here I would be like, "Pfff! Space..."

0:15:14 > 0:15:18- LAUGHTER - "What's it all about?"

0:15:18 > 0:15:24I just couldn't get quite into believing that I was in space.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29- Which, when you're doing a space movie, is tricky.- Yes!

0:15:29 > 0:15:32- Did you annoy the other actors? - Absolutely.

0:15:32 > 0:15:37It's also one of my favourite things to do, is to be annoying on set.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40- We talked about that before.- She loves to sing. She loves to sing.

0:15:40 > 0:15:45- Oh, that would be nice. I would like that.- Not in a hazmat suit.

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Oh, show tunes, man. That's all she did.

0:15:48 > 0:15:51- Like, all these...songs....- Do one!

0:15:51 > 0:15:54- She knows them all. - I tried singing Let It Go last time.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57But you said something about the rights and it would get expensive.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Oh, that's true. Very true. Yes. That was so clever of me!

0:16:01 > 0:16:03To shut it down like that!

0:16:03 > 0:16:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:16:08 > 0:16:10And, very quickly, Amy, we've heard the rumour...

0:16:10 > 0:16:13Enchanted 2, is that really happening?

0:16:13 > 0:16:17- Yeah, they're starting to develop Enchanted 2. - CHEERING

0:16:17 > 0:16:19It's called Disenchanted. And that's for real.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22And, yeah, they've got a director attached and they're writing a script.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24- And you are in it, right? - I'm hoping.

0:16:24 > 0:16:27It doesn't open at your funeral or something?

0:16:27 > 0:16:32- No, I hope not. Not unless... I'm not going to let anybody else play Giselle.- No!- No.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35No! Will your daughter be geeked that you're going back to Giselle?

0:16:35 > 0:16:40- No. No, she won't.- She doesn't care. - Yeah, she's so cool.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42I'm Momma to her. Like, she doesn't think of me as an actress at all.

0:16:42 > 0:16:45Like, she makes fun of me, like when I FaceTime her,

0:16:45 > 0:16:49She's like, "Oh, my God, it's Amy Adams! Hi!" And I'm like...

0:16:49 > 0:16:52She's six, by the way! Yeah.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54By the way, she's got such a cool attitude, she's like,

0:16:54 > 0:16:58sometimes you're not even Momma, she's like, "Oh, yeah, that's just a chick

0:16:58 > 0:17:01- "that cleans my room and cooks..." - It's true. It's true.- She's awesome.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04She's pretty level-headed.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Because after The Avengers movies, presumably you've got

0:17:06 > 0:17:09a lot of children that come up to you, wanting pictures and things?

0:17:09 > 0:17:11Yeah, that's the best part of it all. Yeah, for sure.

0:17:11 > 0:17:15You know, before The Avengers, the kids would run away from me.

0:17:15 > 0:17:20But now, I play a superhero and they come around and it's the most amazing thing.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24But why did you frighten children? LAUGHTER

0:17:24 > 0:17:28- It's just... Uh... - You were thinking it.

0:17:28 > 0:17:32You were thinking, "Why are the children running away?"

0:17:32 > 0:17:35- You mean other than, it's really fun?- It's his resting face.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38It's my resting face I was born with.

0:17:38 > 0:17:41And I built a career around it, so it's awesome.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44- So, right now, you look kind of twinkly.- Well, because I'm smiling.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48But when I'm just thinking about, "Hey, that's a really amazing-looking suit."

0:17:48 > 0:17:51LAUGHTER

0:17:51 > 0:17:54It looks like I might want to hurt you. Right?

0:17:54 > 0:17:56But I'm thinking, "Oh, my God, that's a beautiful suit."

0:17:56 > 0:18:01But if I'm just thinking about it, it looks like I might want to choke you.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05LAUGHTER Yes! yes, I see it! That is scary.

0:18:05 > 0:18:07Yeah.

0:18:10 > 0:18:13What's the thing about your daughter wanting to make you cry?

0:18:13 > 0:18:17Oh, we were talking about what I do for a living and I was

0:18:17 > 0:18:21explaining how I just make believe like she does when she plays.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24And she was like, "Can you make yourself laugh?" And I said, "Yeah."

0:18:24 > 0:18:28She goes, "Can you make yourself cry?" I said, "Yeah." And she goes, "Do it!"

0:18:28 > 0:18:31- LAUGHTER - I said, "You've got to give me a story." So, we made up a story.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34And I've done it before for people. About Sriracha?

0:18:34 > 0:18:38- I don't want to go back into this, Graham, OK?- No, no!- No. OK.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41- What is Sriracha? TEARFULLY:- The Sriracha plant is... They're shutting it down

0:18:41 > 0:18:45because the fumes kind of go into the community. And, uh, yeah...

0:18:45 > 0:18:47But I've done this. This is redundant now.

0:18:47 > 0:18:51- SHE LAUGHS - It's really weird. Everyone's, like, really weirded out.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54That was awesome. I didn't even know what you were talking about.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57- They're like, "Now I don't trust her AT ALL."- That's amazing.

0:18:57 > 0:19:00- It's almost kind of creepy. It's amazing.- Yeah, she made me, it is, right?

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- You should be an actress! - I know.- Right?

0:19:03 > 0:19:08- Mind you, Chris O'Dowd, you can make yourself cry as well. - Yeah, do it now! Cue! Now! Go!

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- There's this Sriracha plant... - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:19:11 > 0:19:14APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:19:17 > 0:19:20No, I don't know. I guess, I don't know if I can make myself cry.

0:19:20 > 0:19:24I do that thing where, definitely, if you are in the midst of

0:19:24 > 0:19:28a scene, you can start, if you're really in it, it's kind of fine.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31But then when you get to, and you guys know,

0:19:31 > 0:19:35on to take kind of 15 or 16, then you've got to start playing some tricks.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38To make your subconscious cry or something.

0:19:38 > 0:19:44And you start thinking of sad things or, for me, it's like,

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Battersea Dogs Home commercials...

0:19:47 > 0:19:52Or, for some reason, I don't know why, because I'm a pacifist.

0:19:52 > 0:19:56I keep watching these videos on YouTube of, like,

0:19:56 > 0:20:01soldiers coming back from war and seeing their animals.

0:20:02 > 0:20:06- Have you seen these?- Yes! - It's a killer.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11So, when, sometimes when you're watching me on screen,

0:20:11 > 0:20:13that's what I'm thinking!

0:20:15 > 0:20:18LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:18 > 0:20:21I love this guy. I just want to put him in my pocket.

0:20:21 > 0:20:22I love this guy.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25He wouldn't fit but I just want to put him in my pocket.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- He could be your fan hazmat suit. - In my hazmat!- Oh, yes!

0:20:28 > 0:20:31- I also eat curry. - LAUGHTER

0:20:31 > 0:20:34Now, Chris O'Dowd has a movie. It's called Mascots.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38And it's on Netflix now and is the latest faux documentary by

0:20:38 > 0:20:42Christopher Guest, who made Spinal Tap, Best In Show, and all those things.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45So, before we talk about it, let's see a clip,

0:20:45 > 0:20:48- because it kind of explains the mascot you play.- Super.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55My name is Tommy, also known as The Fist.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59I am the official mascot of the Blue Lake Mallards.

0:20:59 > 0:21:01A lot of people say I'm the bad boy of sports mascotry

0:21:01 > 0:21:03and, to be fair, I am currently

0:21:03 > 0:21:06serving six temporary suspensions from different stadiums

0:21:06 > 0:21:09for some physical incidents that took place

0:21:09 > 0:21:12between myself and some opposing players and team mascots.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17I'm also currently serving a lifetime ban from

0:21:17 > 0:21:20the Calgary Cavaliers for a...

0:21:21 > 0:21:25..sexual incident that took place between myself and their team owner's wife.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30Get off!

0:21:33 > 0:21:36Hey, stop it! Get off my wife!

0:21:38 > 0:21:42APPLAUSE

0:21:43 > 0:21:44It's funny.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Were you IN The Fist costume?

0:21:49 > 0:21:51Whenever we see The Fist, is it always you?

0:21:51 > 0:21:55Yeah, pretty much. Pretty much. I got kind of comfortable in there.

0:21:55 > 0:21:59Erm, just being on my own. Just really thinking about stuff.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03Erm, all of the...

0:22:03 > 0:22:05Obviously, because he's an ice hockey mascot,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I have to do a lot of skating.

0:22:08 > 0:22:12And so, I learned how to ice skate, even though I don't, like,

0:22:12 > 0:22:14I'm never seen in the thing.

0:22:14 > 0:22:19I just thought, you know, why not? Definitely me!

0:22:19 > 0:22:21LAUGHTER

0:22:21 > 0:22:24Definitely me and not some skater with a giant fist on it.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27I did wonder.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30I thought, "I'm sure we'd know if Chris O'Dowd could skate like that."

0:22:30 > 0:22:36- I would tell people.- And it's all these different mascots, coming together.- Yeah.

0:22:36 > 0:22:41- Is that competition real? - That's a great question. - LAUGHTER

0:22:41 > 0:22:44There are definitely competitions like that.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Probably more regionalised than a giant kind of annual, erm...national event.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52But it's, like you say, it's a big ensemble piece,

0:22:52 > 0:22:56loads of people that Chris Guest normally work with are there,

0:22:56 > 0:23:00like Jennifer Coolidge and Ed Begley and Jane Lynch and loads of great...

0:23:00 > 0:23:04It's really funny, so, everybody's kind of playing different

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- mascots or judges or whatever. - And lots of actors,

0:23:07 > 0:23:10when they're starting out, DO do those kinds of jobs, kind of,

0:23:10 > 0:23:12you know, dressed as a hot dog outside the restaurant and stuff.

0:23:12 > 0:23:15Now, you did something a bit like that, didn't you?

0:23:15 > 0:23:19There was a job I did where I used to do like pizza, like, what do you call it?

0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Like in a supermarket, where you get out samples.- Oh, yes!- Ah...

0:23:23 > 0:23:29When I was in college, there was a commercial on TV at the time for Domino's frozen pizza.

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Where... Not Domino's. Goodfellas.

0:23:32 > 0:23:37Frozen pizza, hey, go, Goodfellas, frozen pizza!

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Where the commercial on TV was like two Italian-American guys

0:23:40 > 0:23:44kind of going, "Hey, badabing, you want pepperoni? I got pepperoni!"

0:23:44 > 0:23:48- And we would have to do that in the supermarket. - LAUGHTER

0:23:48 > 0:23:52- But, like, around Ireland. - LAUGHTER

0:23:52 > 0:23:56And we would be like, "Hey, you want some peppers and whatnot?"

0:23:56 > 0:24:00And then, like, people would be walking by and going, "Chris?"

0:24:00 > 0:24:04Hey, you want pizza?!

0:24:04 > 0:24:06Awful.

0:24:06 > 0:24:09But actors do do lots of things because Amy Adams,

0:24:09 > 0:24:10you're one of those people that I think,

0:24:10 > 0:24:14whatever job you're given, you take it VERY seriously.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19- Now, how old were you when you were working in Gap?- Oh, I was...18?- OK.

0:24:19 > 0:24:23- And you were the woman at the door. - Yes. The greeter.- The greeter. OK.

0:24:23 > 0:24:27- I used to do that at Abercrombie and Fitch.- Did you? - LAUGHTER

0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Shirtless?- Erm, yeah.- You were shirtless? Like, with all that cologne all over you?

0:24:31 > 0:24:33I mean, this was like six, seven weeks ago now but, like...

0:24:33 > 0:24:37It was good. I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it. I wasn't employed there.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41- I just used to do it. - LAUGHTER

0:24:41 > 0:24:46- Just take your shirt off and just stand there.- What's the problem?

0:24:46 > 0:24:48You don't like bellies?

0:24:50 > 0:24:53- That's amazing.- Sorry.- But you were the best greeter ever.

0:24:53 > 0:24:57I mean, I did my job, I showed up.

0:24:57 > 0:25:02- I believe in doing things 110%, so, yeah! Yeah.- That's a lot of percent. - It is.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05LAUGHTER

0:25:05 > 0:25:08You would tell them everything that was in the store, essentially?

0:25:08 > 0:25:10Essentially, yeah.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12You greet them and you tell them a lot and, I don't know,

0:25:12 > 0:25:14I don't know why they kept me up there.

0:25:14 > 0:25:17I probably chased more people away than kept them there.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19But I would get so bored, I would think of new things to say.

0:25:19 > 0:25:22You know, like, "Hey, check out our polo shirts. They have two buttons.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25"And new colours, sandy taupe." And they're like running away. You know.

0:25:25 > 0:25:29- And didn't you have a celebrity client once?- Whitney Houston.

0:25:29 > 0:25:32- What?!- Yeah, scared her right into the dressing room.

0:25:32 > 0:25:37And she asked for anybody but me. I did! Somebody dared me to do it.

0:25:37 > 0:25:43And I was like, "Oh, OK." Because, you know, I'll take just about any dare I'm given...

0:25:43 > 0:25:46Do you think she went to the till and she was like, "I have NOTHING.

0:25:46 > 0:25:51- "Nothing! Nothing!" - APPLAUSE

0:25:55 > 0:26:00All right, let's talk about Amy Adams's other film. Busy actress.

0:26:00 > 0:26:05Nocturnal Animals. It's out on 4 November.

0:26:05 > 0:26:08This is Tom Ford's second film, after The Single Man,

0:26:08 > 0:26:11- which was a big success.- Yeah. - And it's a wonderful film.

0:26:11 > 0:26:16It's you and Jake Gyllenhal and it's sort of, a story within a story.

0:26:16 > 0:26:20It is. It tells the story of Susan, whom I play,

0:26:20 > 0:26:24who's an LA art gallerist and she's sort of disenchanted -

0:26:24 > 0:26:28there we go - little tie-in.

0:26:28 > 0:26:31Disenchanted with her life and so, she receives

0:26:31 > 0:26:34a manuscript from her ex-husband and she begins to read it.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37And as she reads it, that story unfolds and we examine her past,

0:26:37 > 0:26:39which sort of ties into it all.

0:26:39 > 0:26:43And it's much grittier than you would expect a Tom Ford movie to be.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Yeah, it's very gritty.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's very dark and he spends a lot of time in the desert with...

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Although, I heard that he had like a desert outfit, you know,

0:26:51 > 0:26:55like, so, everybody else looks like hell and he's wearing cowboy boots

0:26:55 > 0:26:59and turquoise jewellery. I know he smells good.

0:26:59 > 0:27:02But he's a fabulous director to work with.

0:27:02 > 0:27:04But, yeah, it definitely has a lot of darkness to it.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07Because you have an odd role, in a way,

0:27:07 > 0:27:09because you are reading the novel we are watching.

0:27:09 > 0:27:13Yeah, I spend a lot of time reading and the camera spends

0:27:13 > 0:27:15a lot of time watching me read.

0:27:15 > 0:27:17Which sounds like it might be boring. It's not.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21- It really isn't, it really isn't. - It's not like my Sriracha bit.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24So... But it was a lot of fun.

0:27:24 > 0:27:27And I worked with Jake Gyllenhal and a wonderful cast...

0:27:27 > 0:27:30Most of the time was spent alone, just a couple of other scenes with other people.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33And it's already done very well. It's picked up some awards already.

0:27:33 > 0:27:36- It did, yeah!- It picked up the audience award in Venice.

0:27:36 > 0:27:40- So, that was thrilling. - APPLAUSE

0:27:40 > 0:27:45- Thank you.- All right, let's watch a clip from the Nocturnal Animals.

0:27:45 > 0:27:50This is you in a flashback, bumping into your old friend, Jake Gyllenhal.

0:27:51 > 0:27:56- Hi!- Susan! Hi!- How are you? - God, good to see someone I know.

0:27:56 > 0:28:01- Good to see you. - You look beautiful. As always.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05- What are you doing in New York City? - Erm, I'm...

0:28:05 > 0:28:09- Here for an interview for a scholarship at Columbia.- Columbia?

0:28:09 > 0:28:13I thought you were at the University of Texas, becoming a great writer.

0:28:13 > 0:28:17A great writer? I mean, I don't think... Well, I am.

0:28:17 > 0:28:21But aren't you at Yale becoming a great artist?

0:28:21 > 0:28:25- I graduated Yale but I'm at Columbia getting my Masters degree.- Oh, wow!

0:28:25 > 0:28:28- Yeah, art history.- That's great!

0:28:28 > 0:28:33- Listen, do you know anybody else in New York?- Erm, just you.- Just me.

0:28:33 > 0:28:36OK. Well, would you like to go to dinner?

0:28:36 > 0:28:41- Absolutely.- OK. OK, great. Just let me...

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Just let me drop off my packages at my apartment.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47- Do you want me to grab them for you? - Yeah, great! Thank you.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50- Oh, I miss Texas men.- You don't have blisters like this in Texas.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53APPLAUSE

0:28:53 > 0:28:54Thank you.

0:28:56 > 0:29:00Right. It is time to meet our musical guest tonight.

0:29:00 > 0:29:03He is a member of the biggest boyband in the world and now

0:29:03 > 0:29:07he's broken records with the release of his first solo single,

0:29:07 > 0:29:11This Town. Please welcome Niall Horan!

0:29:11 > 0:29:14CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:29:14 > 0:29:18There he is! Ah! Hello, sir, how you doing? Meet everybody.

0:29:18 > 0:29:20Amy...

0:29:24 > 0:29:27Sit-ee down. Sit-ee down.

0:29:27 > 0:29:30Oh, look at that. Lovely, nice!

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Now, here's the thing. I would introduce you.

0:29:32 > 0:29:35- But I think, you've certainly, you've met Amy before.- Yes!

0:29:35 > 0:29:39Myself and Amy did... Well, she did it and we were there, SNL.

0:29:39 > 0:29:41- Saturday Night Live in New York. - Oh, yes!- She was the host of it.

0:29:41 > 0:29:44- We were there. There we are. - You were very sweet.

0:29:44 > 0:29:47You got to hold my feet, I don't know how fortunate that is.

0:29:47 > 0:29:50- But your band member on the other end, is it Zayn?- Mm.

0:29:50 > 0:29:52Forgive me if I get it wrong.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56He was quivering because my upper body apparently was too heavy for him.

0:29:56 > 0:30:00- LAUGHTER Wow!- I highly doubt that. - He really was.

0:30:00 > 0:30:02Because by the end, we took so many takes, you know,

0:30:02 > 0:30:05I was a bit heavy for him, I think he's used to lighter girls.

0:30:05 > 0:30:07LAUGHTER

0:30:07 > 0:30:11Now, the last One Direction concert, that was about a year ago,

0:30:11 > 0:30:15- wasn't it?- Yeah, around this time, yeah.- By my reckoning, that's kind of a year off.- Yeah.

0:30:15 > 0:30:17So, that's a lot of Judge Rinder...

0:30:17 > 0:30:22- So, like, what are you doing? - Definitely not watching Judge Rinder anyway.

0:30:22 > 0:30:28- LAUGHTER - At the start of the year, the plan was to go backpacking.- Lovely.

0:30:28 > 0:30:31So, I did it. So, me and two of my cousins.

0:30:31 > 0:30:34And we met, one of my cousins was living in Melbourne, Australia.

0:30:34 > 0:30:38And he was actually moving back home. So, we just said, "Right, we'll meet in Australia

0:30:38 > 0:30:40"and then we'll work our way back across."

0:30:40 > 0:30:43So we went up through, we went to Bali first,

0:30:43 > 0:30:46pissed rain for four days. No good.

0:30:46 > 0:30:50We nearly got my wallet robbed by a monkey. So, that wasn't great.

0:30:50 > 0:30:52Then we went up to the Philippines

0:30:52 > 0:30:54to a couple of islands in the Philippines.

0:30:54 > 0:30:59- We went across to Vietnam, Cambodia and they had all the temples and stuff.- It sounds amazing.

0:30:59 > 0:31:02Is this the trip where you had a very strict budget?

0:31:02 > 0:31:06Yeah, well, yeah, we just wanted to do it properly because, like,

0:31:06 > 0:31:09all my friends got to do it but I was travelling the world in

0:31:09 > 0:31:11- a different way.- Yeah.

0:31:11 > 0:31:13So, I just thought, it's only fair I get to do it.

0:31:13 > 0:31:16- So, you were staying in youth hostels and things?- Yeah.

0:31:16 > 0:31:19- Now, were your cousins not pissed off?- Well, not really hostels.

0:31:19 > 0:31:23Your cousins must be thinking, "He's a multimillionaire!

0:31:23 > 0:31:27"And I'm sleeping in a bunk." LAUGHTER

0:31:27 > 0:31:31Yeah, they probably were but they would never say it to me!

0:31:31 > 0:31:33No...we just, it wasn't really hostels.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36We went to the hostels when we were going drinking because they

0:31:36 > 0:31:40are always good craic. But you'd be surprised what 20 quid gets you.

0:31:40 > 0:31:45I don't want to know. LAUGHTER

0:31:45 > 0:31:49Mind you, it's good you went travelling when you did!

0:31:49 > 0:31:52- CHRIS:- That's pretty cool, though. I mean, like, fair play.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55Like, putting a budget on yourself when you're a thing.

0:31:55 > 0:31:58- That's pretty... - LAUGHTER

0:31:58 > 0:32:02Did you not break it sometimes? Did you not think...

0:32:02 > 0:32:06Oh, yeah, after about a month. We got to Hanoi in Vietnam.

0:32:06 > 0:32:11And you bought the city. LAUGHTER

0:32:11 > 0:32:16"I own Hanoi now." LAUGHTER

0:32:16 > 0:32:22- "I cracked. I just love the place. I just loved it."- Yeah.

0:32:22 > 0:32:26We were just like, we'll just get a hotel. A nice one this time.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29OK, so you own a hotel in Hanoi. OK. LAUGHTER

0:32:29 > 0:32:35- A couple.- It's like Monopoly. The Hanoi board.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39And because, obviously, when it ends, when you go on the break,

0:32:39 > 0:32:42it must be lovely. You must just go, "Oh, thank God for that."

0:32:42 > 0:32:44But have you started to miss the others yet?

0:32:44 > 0:32:47Is it kind of weird now being back in music without them?

0:32:47 > 0:32:52Yeah, of course. You know, I suppose, until recently,

0:32:52 > 0:32:57I haven't kind of noticed as much, in the sense of, I've just been in the studio.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00And we always kind of, when we were writing, we'd always, like,

0:33:00 > 0:33:03go off into different groups and kind of do our own writing

0:33:03 > 0:33:07and then bring it all back to when everyone was recording.

0:33:07 > 0:33:11But recently, I've kind of noticed that, you know, like, OK, this is it now.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14I have this song. I'm writing an album for me.

0:33:14 > 0:33:18And I'm probably going to tour it on my own. So, yeah,

0:33:18 > 0:33:22this is my first performance. This one here. So, looking forward to it.

0:33:22 > 0:33:26- Good on ya, buddy! - CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:33:26 > 0:33:30Yeah! We're looking forward to it.

0:33:30 > 0:33:32LAUGHTER

0:33:32 > 0:33:34Do you get back to Ireland much?

0:33:34 > 0:33:37Do you cause a huge sensation when you go back? Is it Mullingar?

0:33:37 > 0:33:40Mullingar, yeah. I go home, like, a couple of times a year.

0:33:40 > 0:33:44It gets, my dad still lives in the same spot.

0:33:44 > 0:33:45So, it gets kind of hectic around the house.

0:33:45 > 0:33:50- Do girls live in holes in the garden and things?- Yeah. I remember... Yeah! Under the wall!

0:33:50 > 0:33:53I remember Robbie Williams once said something to me.

0:33:53 > 0:33:57He was like, "My mum closed the curtains in '92 and never opened them again."

0:33:57 > 0:34:00LAUGHTER

0:34:00 > 0:34:02I get it.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05So, yeah, but, yeah, it's good, like,

0:34:05 > 0:34:08I get to go home and go out and see the lads and stuff like that,

0:34:08 > 0:34:11see the family and it's, yeah, I like that side of it.

0:34:11 > 0:34:12But, yeah, I miss Ireland.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14Obviously, I would like to go there a lot more.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17And do people kind of, do they look out for you, kind of going,

0:34:17 > 0:34:19"Ooh, he's changed." Is it all that?

0:34:19 > 0:34:23- Do you have to be incredibly careful when you go home?- Sometimes, you'll be there,

0:34:23 > 0:34:27kind of like the backpacking thing, you'll be buying, like a pint, for two or three of the lads.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31And then the barman will be going, "Oh, someone's doing all right. He's doing good."

0:34:31 > 0:34:35It's like, it's only a few pints, I don't know if it makes any difference.

0:34:35 > 0:34:40But, yeah, like, sometimes if I'm walking home, right, I'll walk home,

0:34:40 > 0:34:45if I go home around Christmas and there's no taxis then I'll start walking home.

0:34:45 > 0:34:48And the police will drive past me and pick me up and bring me home!

0:34:48 > 0:34:51LAUGHTER

0:34:51 > 0:34:54- I remember when they used to do that for a different reason. - LAUGHTER

0:34:54 > 0:34:57Yeah, they do that, which is quite funny.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00Because they catch you out when you go home, don't they, Chris?

0:35:00 > 0:35:04Well, there is, like Niall said, there's this old thing where people want to catch you out a little bit.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09Like, you'll go, even for breakfast somewhere, for lunch,

0:35:09 > 0:35:14and I remember I was actually home this weekend and I was,

0:35:14 > 0:35:18we went out for, you know, some eggs and stuff somewhere.

0:35:18 > 0:35:21LAUGHTER

0:35:21 > 0:35:26And I was like, "Oh, yeah, you know, and I'll have some orange juice."

0:35:26 > 0:35:29- And they're like "Oo-oo-ooh!" - LAUGHTER

0:35:29 > 0:35:33"Oh, Mr LA with his orange juice!"

0:35:35 > 0:35:38And regardless of what, like, it doesn't need to be anything fancy.

0:35:38 > 0:35:44I'll have, like, you know, an Americano, where it's all, "Oo-oo-ooh!"

0:35:44 > 0:35:48Like, before I left, I used to just bathe in my own shit.

0:35:48 > 0:35:51LAUGHTER

0:35:51 > 0:35:54There is this kind of overcompensation.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57There is a little bit of that.

0:35:57 > 0:36:03But it's inundated with kind of the other side of it.

0:36:03 > 0:36:06- Which is really kind of lovely. - Yeah, I know you're saying.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09Amy Adams, I think because of the red hair, people assume you must be,

0:36:09 > 0:36:12you must have some Irish...

0:36:12 > 0:36:15Yeah, I think I've got some Irish blood in me, yeah.

0:36:15 > 0:36:19- I can vouch for that. - LAUGHTER

0:36:19 > 0:36:25- Wow, it was going so well. - Do you know what's weird about it?

0:36:25 > 0:36:30It's not even like I have Irish in me. It sounds like I gave her like a blood transfusion.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35- And I actually am a blood donor. So...- You never know.

0:36:35 > 0:36:39- But we found a picture of you and rarely has a women looked more Irish...- Oh, no.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41..than Amy... Look at that.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44It's such a flattering picture.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:36:47 > 0:36:52- There you go.- Is that in your caravan?- That's my three sisters.

0:36:52 > 0:36:55- That's my three sisters right there. - There it is, folks.

0:36:55 > 0:37:00- Yeah, that's such a flattering picture.- It's not there.

0:37:00 > 0:37:03Stop looking at it and it will go away.

0:37:03 > 0:37:07Now, Niall, talking about, so, the new single, This Town. This is you.

0:37:07 > 0:37:11- It's a song. Is it about Mullingar? - Sort of, yeah.

0:37:11 > 0:37:13It's kind of got a double meaning.

0:37:13 > 0:37:17It's not really about anyone in particular.

0:37:17 > 0:37:20I just kind of, when I'm writing songs, I write the concept and

0:37:20 > 0:37:23then just kind of write a scenario and then write the song around it.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26But I guess, with the town part of it,

0:37:26 > 0:37:29I guess it's kind of a little bit like everything.

0:37:29 > 0:37:32You know, there's a line in the song, "Everything comes back to you".

0:37:32 > 0:37:34And, I still go home all the time.

0:37:34 > 0:37:39And no matter how far you've travelled, you still get to go home and be yourself.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42- And then it's obviously got that female aspect to it.- Yes.

0:37:42 > 0:37:45Now, every girl in Mullingar must be thinking, "He's talking about ME!"

0:37:45 > 0:37:49I had loads of texts, saying, like, from people, like,

0:37:49 > 0:37:53from school, saying, "Everyone wants to know who it's about."

0:37:53 > 0:37:54It's not about anyone.

0:37:54 > 0:37:58- So, we've cleared it up on national television. - LAUGHTER

0:37:58 > 0:38:02Well, your first performance awaits. The guitar's over there. If you want to go over and get ready.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07Niall Horan, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:38:11 > 0:38:18All right, here, with his first ever TV performance of This Town, it is Mr Niall Horan!

0:38:18 > 0:38:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:41:59 > 0:42:03Oh! Niall Horan everybody!

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Great job! Well done!

0:42:06 > 0:42:08There you go!

0:42:08 > 0:42:11You did it! You did it! Very good, congratulations.

0:42:11 > 0:42:16Come and sit down with the others. There you go. How lovely was that?

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Really, really lovely. Gorgeous.

0:42:22 > 0:42:27That was fantastic. So that single is out now, album?

0:42:27 > 0:42:30Yeah, kind of. That was like the first song that was completely finished and

0:42:30 > 0:42:34I felt was good enough to let people know I was doing something.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37But I'm kind of now just about to start the recording process,

0:42:37 > 0:42:41and recording all the instruments and all that kind of stuff,

0:42:41 > 0:42:44all the songs are written, I just need to get them all recorded.

0:42:44 > 0:42:48My God, you're pretty in person!

0:42:48 > 0:42:52- Same as you.- Good for you.

0:42:52 > 0:42:56- Good for you!- Thank you!

0:42:56 > 0:42:59Niall Horan, I have a vision of all those girls, the One Direction

0:42:59 > 0:43:02fans sitting at home like Miss Havisham, in One Direction T-shirts

0:43:02 > 0:43:06waiting and waiting, will you ever tell them to give up?

0:43:06 > 0:43:10Like, what's happening? Will they wait for the rest of their lives?

0:43:10 > 0:43:14Will they wait as long as Bros for you to come back?

0:43:14 > 0:43:15As long as Bros! Like, for now,

0:43:15 > 0:43:19in the moment we are kind of doing our own thing, I am doing this,

0:43:19 > 0:43:23Harry did a movie, we are all kind of doing our own bits and pieces.

0:43:23 > 0:43:29And then, can't really put a date on it, but, you know, it's not going to be 50 years away!

0:43:29 > 0:43:33- Like, it's in the foreseeable. - How many years?- I don't know, in fairness!

0:43:33 > 0:43:35We don't know. And when I do, I'll text you!

0:43:35 > 0:43:38Anyway, thank you so much for doing that, it was beautiful.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Niall Horan, everybody! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:43:41 > 0:43:45OK. Nearly it - but before we go, by popular demand, it is back,

0:43:45 > 0:43:48let's have a story from the big red chair. CHEERING

0:43:48 > 0:43:50- Hello.- Hello, Graham.

0:43:50 > 0:43:55- What's your name?- Justin. - Justin! And where are you from?

0:43:55 > 0:43:59I'm originally from Aussie, Australia but now live in Clapham.

0:43:59 > 0:44:01OK...

0:44:01 > 0:44:04Ah! You are the ONLY Aussie in Clapham!

0:44:04 > 0:44:08LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:44:08 > 0:44:10And what do you do?

0:44:10 > 0:44:14I design bicycle parking and changing facilities for office buildings.

0:44:14 > 0:44:16A bit random.

0:44:18 > 0:44:21I am so tempted. LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:44:21 > 0:44:24- No, that's a good one. - That's useful!

0:44:24 > 0:44:27Imagine you were sitting at a dinner party and he told you that,

0:44:27 > 0:44:30your heart would sink. You'd just think, "Jesus..."

0:44:30 > 0:44:32- He said it's a good one.- Off you go with your story, Justin.

0:44:32 > 0:44:37All right. So, the other day, a couple of weeks ago I had a hangover,

0:44:37 > 0:44:40a big hangover and decided to dust it off with

0:44:40 > 0:44:43- a run through the local Commons of Clapham.- Oh, yes?

0:44:43 > 0:44:47I got halfway through and I had uncontrollable stomach cramps

0:44:47 > 0:44:51and without a toilet in sight, I thought, there's

0:44:51 > 0:44:54a bit of density over there, I'm going to head in there and do my business.

0:44:54 > 0:44:58So, anyway, I'm there and I'm just finishing up and the next

0:44:58 > 0:45:00thing I see this movement to my right and there is

0:45:00 > 0:45:04a lady walking along with her two dogs, and they're off the leash.

0:45:04 > 0:45:09One of them starts, I pull up my pants and next thing this pit bull starts coming towards me.

0:45:09 > 0:45:12No, I can't listen to the end of this story!

0:45:12 > 0:45:14How did it go that long?!

0:45:14 > 0:45:17As soon as he starts pooping in the woods, the dog...

0:45:17 > 0:45:20As a dog owner I know what happened next!

0:45:20 > 0:45:23LAUGHTER

0:45:23 > 0:45:26I lost track a little bit and then I kind of tuned back in

0:45:47 > 0:45:50- No!- I don't think that's the biggest problem.

0:46:23 > 0:46:25OK, off you go with your story, Sean.

0:46:25 > 0:46:28A few years ago I was at a wedding,

0:46:28 > 0:46:32and the ceremony happened and it was lovely and we went to the reception.

0:46:32 > 0:46:36And at the reception, everyone started doing speeches and then the groom stood up

0:46:36 > 0:46:39and said to everyone, "We're going to play a game".

0:46:39 > 0:46:42So, he asked everyone to stand up, so everyone stood up and was kind of giggling

0:46:42 > 0:46:44and he asked everyone to flip over their plate

0:46:44 > 0:46:47and if there was a red dot at the bottom of their plate,

0:46:47 > 0:46:51please stay standing. So, everyone did it and it kind of filtered out

0:46:51 > 0:46:53and there were eight guys left standing.

0:46:53 > 0:46:56He said, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you all please look at the eight gentlemen left standing.

0:46:56 > 0:46:59"They have slept with my wife since we've been engaged.

0:46:59 > 0:47:00"I am now going for an annulment."

0:47:00 > 0:47:03And he walked straight out of the room.

0:47:03 > 0:47:05Good one! APPLAUSE
