I suddenly realized very clearly, oh, you're the straight guy. Okay, this is fine. I can play that. Because Paul's coming over writing all these notes, going, try that, try this. And she's just firing off. I mean, I'm holding it together, just trying to keeping a straight face, right? Yeah, yeah. Just don't lose it and really make a fool of yourself. But my goodness, the speed and the ideas.
And then just talk about going off on a tangent. You're sitting there thinking. What are you talking about?
He's fantastic in that film. There's a scene where the two of them, I think, handcuffed together, right? And they're kind of lying on top. So it's a weird sort of sex-y make-out scene, kind of where you escape. God, he's good.
I kind of balance it up. You know, I love the idea of a challenge, a little bit like the role I play in The Order, which just felt like something completely new and different, and the opportunity to work with someone like Justin on that, who I knew I was in good hands, and he'd sort of take me there. He's the director. You know, those films, Justin Curzel, yeah. And he...
That experience was a very good experience, you know, but you have to balance a film like that with, you know, and then I was like, okay, now I need to pay my rent. So, you know, you've got to kind of find something that's going to balance that out, but also... Black Rabbit. I'm curious.
I mean, you mentioned kind of all the boxes that you check, right? And all of them at a different time have a different order. So sometimes, yeah, it's where are we filming this? Yeah.
who's in it who all of those things come to play family like we're bringing kids and all that kind of stuff is important too yeah so i mean specifically over the last two years i've got a house that's being renovated and i'm having one of those nightmares uh and it's just going on and on and on so me and my wife and the two little ones i've just been like okay well let's just travel the world let's just go wherever i'm working so we've been two years
For two years. So we really have. We've been in California. Then we were in Canada and then France and then Australia and then New York. So it's been wild. So it really has been just following the work.
And they're very little. They're both under five. So it's not like, you know, as long as we're both there looking calm and happy, they're calm and happy. Exactly.
I thought I would more, but I really haven't. And we've found some really beautiful homes around and some not so great, but mostly really good experiences. I tell you what I have found hard. I found it really hard going back to UK because without my house, like I had this lovely home there for, you know, I've always lived there. But going there...
as a visitor and sort of renting something, it just doesn't feel right. It feels weird. It's really disconcerting. I was just there for a couple of weeks to see my family, my parents. And I don't know. But equally, I've learned I quite like being a foreigner. It's quite like being a foreigner in a city. It feels slightly less emotionally tiring. I don't know why.
In the UK, you know, I read the news about the UK and I'm like, oh, not again. What are they doing? You know, I feel so emotionally. It's like your uncle letting you down. You're like, oh, don't behave like that.
Whereas here, I'm like, well, it's not my problem. Yeah, that's nice.
A little bit. My mom's not so well. The light in my mom is... I'm sorry. Or the spirit of my mom is slowly fading. She's happy and she's not in pain, but she was very much the... lightning in our family. She was the kind of trailblazer.
She was the one putting on these plays and telling, you know, packing up our crazy little French de chevaux car and saying, right, we're going to drive across France and camp. And she just was full of energy. And really, I think a big part of why I'm doing what I do and my sister does what she does. So I don't, I miss that with her. I certainly have that with my sister still and my dad. Yeah.
And that's fun. It's nice looking back at those. It's interesting, isn't it? The further away you get from that formative time, how you can reflect on what impact it was having on you and what direction it was sending you in, you know.
There are definitely filmmakers out there that I admire immensely and would really love to work with. And there's the odd part. Yeah, but not sort of, I mean, there are roles in Shakespeare that I'd love to play one day on stage, but that's sort of not necessarily immediately.
But honestly, something you and I talked about and something you're so good at encouraging, I've seen you do it with others, is directing. I love the idea of it. It scares the hell out of me. You make it look incredibly straightforward and easy. I don't know how you do that. I mean, watching you direct, lead that team out of the gate and perform in it was really quite remarkable, mate.
And it kept making me think. Having a partner like you makes it easy, truly. It makes it... It made me really look at it and consider again. You should, I mean... Because it scares me because of the scale of the decisions.
Exactly.
