Yes, the content, of course. And since then, I narrated my own writings, my own commentaries, and I had found my voice. But it's a stylized voice. When I'm talking to you, I'm talking like me in commentaries. There's a certain stylization, a certain performance in it, a certain hypnotic voice in it. I can't describe it easily. And it has caught on. Audiences love it. So I do it for them as well.

I do films for audiences. I write my book for readers. So I'm enjoying it. And I have been good. in parts, in roles where I have to play the bad ass, bad guy, like in Jack Reacher, or where, for example, in a film by Harmony Corrine, which is called Julian Donkey Boy, I play a hostile father who harasses his dysfunctional family, and I'm good at that. But it's all performance. Don't believe.

No, not really. But, you know, when Jack Reacher was released, it was released in France as well. My wife immediately gets frantic calls from her girlfriend in Paris. And she says, Lena, are you really married to that man? We can give you shelter if you need to flee France. We are only an overnight flight away and Lena laughed so hard and told me about it.

No, we do not know because I just heard somebody across the street on a veranda ranting about like road rage. And all of a sudden I heard some sort of a mild explosion in something like a glowing piece of metal, like a kilo weight of glowing metal hits me at my belt or near my belt.

I said to the crew, BBC people, you are frantically now dialing 911. consider it. We'll spend the next six hours filing reports at a police station and we will have a helicopter over us and a SWAT team arriving in five minutes flat. Do we need that? Do you want that?
