And then it ends.

And there's a kind of buffer period.

And so the funny side of it is like, you know, dressing up in a suit for a year or

or having a sort of weird stooped back with Charles.

But the reality is that there is something spiritual going on, a kind of sadness.

Yeah, well, I mean, I'll go back to the fact that Francis Lee, who directed that movie and is a friend of mine and still has had a huge, perhaps the biggest impact, maybe, on the way I work.

Yeah.

Francis and I discussed very early on that this felt like a character I didn't want to fake.

I wanted to do things for real and I wanted to feel what he felt and I wanted to understand his world.

And so...

frances helped facilitate that and that that what that looked like is that i moved up to yorkshire and the north of england and i worked on a farm and the farm that we were going to shoot on i don't know that i was massively helpful to the farmer but he's um we've become remain friends to this day but he um

I spoke in the accent.

I, um, tried to eat as far as I could as he would have eaten and drink as he would have drunk.

And, uh, and look, probably, you know, I was young and I think probably, or certainly, uh,

I would do things differently now, or the way I'd approach a role like that.

Yeah, yeah.

The funny story was that there was a day the film crew turned up, and I'm no longer his farmhand.

I'm an actor.

I have a job to do.

But that didn't stop John.
