00:00
I've never felt so out of place in all my life.
00:02
That's when I saw him for the first time.
00:06
I'm Benny.
00:07
I have to admit, he took my breath away.
00:10
Hi, I'm Alex from NME and today I'm joined by Hollywood's newest Hellraisers.
00:14
It's the star of The Bike Riders, Jodie Comer and Austin Butler.
00:18
Hello.
00:19
Hey, good to see you.
00:20
First things first, can you each remember the first time you rode a motorbike?
00:27
I very recently remembered this.
00:29
It was probably four years ago in Costa Rica on a very old,
00:35
yeah, not safe one that broke down.
00:39
And that was my only experience.
00:41
Were you riding on your own?
00:42
No, I was on the back of it. Actually, someone else was riding it.
00:46
I'm quite accident prone. I feel like I am anyway.
00:49
I've been on a snowmobile and that didn't go so well.
00:51
You crashed?
00:52
Yeah.
00:53
On a snowmobile?
00:54
Yeah.
00:55
Wow.
00:57
Oh my God.
00:58
Yeah, it was bad.
00:59
Where was that?
01:00
It was in Utah with Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
01:03
No way.
01:04
Yeah, we were like, oh, we'll have a day off. We'll go skiing.
01:06
And they had no skis, so they were like snowmobiles.
01:08
And she was so elegant through the long snow and I followed her.
01:12
Were you by yourself on there?
01:13
Yeah, I was by myself.
01:14
So this is why I don't, you know, tend to stay awake.
01:18
You're a great passenger.
01:19
I am a great passenger.
01:22
It's not easy and you did it well.
01:24
Yeah, yeah.
01:26
I'm happy to be the passenger.
01:27
Do you know what I mean?
01:28
That's what I enjoyed about my experience on bike riders.
01:29
I was like, you know, guys taking the heavy, heavy lifting
01:32
and I can sit on the back and just enjoy it.
01:36
Honestly.
01:37
Just to clarify, neither you or Phoebe were injured badly?
01:41
No, no, we were, we were, no, she was on a different.
01:44
I was fine.
01:45
I was fine, thankfully.
01:46
Yeah.
01:47
What about you, Austin?
01:48
First time?
01:49
First time on a motorcycle was with my dad as a kid.
01:53
He rode.
01:54
So I have memories of just, you know, we lived in California
01:58
at the time and we would go on these long road trips
02:00
and yeah, those are my first memories.
02:04
I mean, of course, Austin Butler drove motorbikes
02:06
when he was a kid.
02:07
He came out of the womb.
02:09
I got a cool dad.
02:12
Does that mean you were the best rider on the cast or?
02:15
No, I, you know, I mean, because we have people, you know,
02:18
Norman Reedus rides a lot.
02:20
I can see that.
02:21
Carl is a great rider.
02:22
Toby rode very well.
02:23
We had a lot of, I mean, Tom rides a lot.
02:26
So yeah, I think.
02:29
Everyone really threw themselves.
02:31
Like you could just tell us that everyone was so excited
02:33
about the prospect of it and actually doing it,
02:38
you know, being like, okay, we're going to have the camera set up.
02:40
There's going to be 15 of all of you on a bike.
02:43
Like just that kind of thinking about executing that.
02:46
I feel like everyone was like, right, we want to do it.
02:48
We want to make sure we can do that.
02:51
And you're on old bikes with no helmets on.
02:53
So it was awesome.
02:56
We had a great time.
02:57
I'm not surprised to hear Tom was really into the bikes
03:00
because I don't know if you saw,
03:02
did you see he turned up at a medieval jousting tournament
03:05
and took part in full armor?
03:07
Yeah, he didn't tell you about that?
03:09
No.
03:10
Wait, hold on.
03:11
Tell me this story.
03:12
That is incredible.
03:13
So about a year ago on his Instagram,
03:15
he was posting some stories of him in full kind of medieval armor,
03:19
just like jousting.
03:21
He's never mentioned this to you?
03:22
No.
03:23
He actually jousted?
03:24
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:25
On a horse?
03:26
Yeah.
03:27
What?
03:28
I don't know if he was on a horse.
03:29
I just saw a picture of him in the full armor.
03:30
Oh my God.
03:31
I can't wait to ask him about that.
03:32
Is he that kind of guy on set?
03:34
Jousting constantly.
03:36
I mean, does he talk about his hobbies?
03:38
Well, yeah.
03:39
I mean, the first thing that we talked about was jujitsu, I think.
03:42
And he's very good at that.
03:45
So we kind of did a little bit of jujitsu together.
03:50
I'm quite surprised by the medieval jousting.
03:52
Yeah, I can't picture that, actually.
03:54
Hopefully he hasn't invited us.
03:55
I know, I feel very left out.
03:56
Yeah.
03:59
I'm a big fan of Chainmail.
04:02
Maybe the sequel to this can be The Jousters.
04:05
Maybe, yeah.
04:06
Let's do it.
04:07
The Jousters.
04:08
I can't have those colors on in here.
04:10
You'd have to kill me to get this jacket off.
04:14
He won't stay down.
04:19
You know who did it.
04:20
It's another club.
04:21
Get the guys together.
04:23
Speaking about Tom Hardy,
04:25
across the cast, the accents on this film are incredible.
04:29
Jodie, as well, is really good.
04:31
But whose vocal work were you most impressed by
04:35
the first time you saw their mouth open
04:37
and you heard the accent they were going for?
04:39
Jodie.
04:40
Jodie, for sure.
04:41
Thank you, Austin.
04:42
She was dead on.
04:43
I'd heard the tapes of the actual Kathy
04:45
and then Jeff played me a recording one day,
04:49
Jeff Nichols, our director,
04:50
and he played me this recording
04:52
and I said, no, I've heard this before,
04:54
that's Kathy.
04:55
He said, no, that's actually Jodie.
04:56
Dead on.
04:57
Yeah, so, definitely Jodie.
04:59
How long did that take?
05:01
A couple of months.
05:02
I started it like two months before
05:04
just to try and,
05:06
because there was so much text
05:08
and there was so much in the audio
05:09
that was really interesting
05:11
and I was like, oh, I want to try and
05:12
grab as much as I can.
05:13
So, yeah, a couple of months before.
05:15
And tell me about your reaction
05:16
when you first heard Tom Hardy's accent.
05:19
Did you expect him to go so hard on it?
05:21
Well, I think Tom goes in,
05:22
you know what I mean?
05:23
And I think, I admire, like,
05:25
anyone who makes a choice
05:26
and has conviction in that.
05:28
And there was also that element
05:29
in the film of, you know,
05:30
Johnny kind of watching Marlon Brando
05:32
and then to see how Tom had kind of gone,
05:34
okay, how can I portray this kind of influence
05:39
or what this man is trying to be,
05:42
you know?
05:43
So, yeah.
05:44
That scene's actually really good
05:45
worth watching.
05:46
It's the wild one, isn't it?
05:47
Yeah.
05:48
But another of the scenes
05:49
that I really liked was
05:50
when Benny first gives Kathy a ride home
05:52
and then he just waits outside the house
05:54
until Kathy's boyfriend just packs up
05:56
and leaves because he's so intimidated.
05:58
I wanted to ask, actually,
05:59
because I know the film is based on the book
06:01
and you mentioned the recordings.
06:02
Is that in any of the material,
06:04
that story,
06:05
or is it for the film only?
06:08
I think she does say
06:09
that he parked outside
06:11
and he wouldn't go.
06:13
Yeah, I think it is.
06:15
And then a boyfriend actually...
06:16
Yeah.
06:17
And he's like,
06:18
I'm done.
06:19
Yeah.
06:20
And she's like,
06:21
five weeks later I married him.
06:22
Isn't that amazing?
06:23
Yeah.
06:24
It's like moments like that
06:25
where you're like,
06:26
if you didn't know
06:27
it was based on,
06:28
you know,
06:29
some true events,
06:30
you'd be like,
06:31
oh, okay, whatever.
06:32
Yeah, this guy's waiting outside
06:33
for 24 hours or whatever.
06:34
But, you know,
06:35
and you're like,
06:36
oh, okay.
06:38
He did.
06:39
Yeah.
06:40
Just write that down as a note
06:41
for dating.
06:42
Yeah, I don't know about that.
06:43
Maybe you don't take that advice.
06:45
Maybe you guys don't take that dating advice.
06:47
The big question I wanted to ask you...
06:49
Uh-oh.
06:50
Yeah, uh-oh.
06:51
But I think I maybe know the answer.
06:53
Is it denim or leather?
06:55
Denim or leather.
06:57
This is the big debate.
06:59
It's a tough question.
07:00
The question depends on the circumstances.
07:04
That's true.
07:05
Um...
07:06
I wear so much denim.
07:08
Like, I literally live in jeans.
07:10
So, I'm gonna...
07:13
Have I answered it before already?
07:15
No, no, no.
07:16
I just...
07:17
You struck me as a denim.
07:18
Yeah, I wanna say denim.
07:19
Because, Austin,
07:20
you could be forgiven
07:21
for maybe being a bit sick of leather
07:22
after Elvis.
07:23
I've worn a lot of leather.
07:25
He loves it.
07:26
You're leather.
07:27
Who are you kidding?
07:28
I'm wearing leather underneath me.
07:29
You go home,
07:30
everything's leather.
07:31
It's got leather socks on.
07:32
Your duvet, your bedspread,
07:33
it's all leather.
07:35
Leather duvet is the only way to go.
07:37
Oh, God.
07:38
Yeah.
07:39
But you know what?
07:40
Denim is a great all-rounder.
07:42
It's a classic.
07:43
And save the cows.
07:45
That's true, yeah.
07:46
Yeah, so it's...
07:47
Yeah.
07:48
Hashtag.
07:49
Hashtag save the cows.
07:50
Okay, um...
07:51
Austin, I asked you this question last time,
07:53
but every interview we always ask
07:55
about your go-to or favourite album.
07:58
So, it's your turn.
07:59
Yeah, I remember what I said last time.
08:00
In Rainbows.
08:01
You got a lot of love from Radiohead fans last time.
08:03
Oh, really?
08:05
It's the greatest.
08:06
I don't know if I can do favourite album of all time.
08:08
Maybe an artist instead.
08:09
Yeah, I've said this a million times
08:11
on every interview, but...
08:13
I'm really into Cleo Sol at the minute.
08:15
Yeah.
08:16
I think she's incredible.
08:17
And I've had her album on kind of repeat,
08:19
so I would say her.
08:21
Yeah.
08:22
I just can't remember the album name, though.
08:24
Have you managed to see her live?
08:25
No.
08:26
I wonder, though.
08:27
I keep checking my Spotify.
08:28
Yeah.
08:31
It tells you when they're doing...
08:32
It tells you on Spotify.
08:34
When they're in your vicinity.
08:37
Yeah.
08:38
So, I'm waiting.
08:39
I'm waiting for the dates.
08:41
And Austin, have you not seen any of the Radiohead fans
08:44
who've now decided you're their favourite actor
08:46
because of that?
08:47
No way.
08:48
That's awesome.
08:49
I haven't seen anything about that,
08:51
but I...
08:52
I mean...
08:54
Yeah.
08:55
You've been adopted.
08:56
I've listened to more Radiohead
08:58
than any artist probably ever.
09:01
And obviously, you played Elvis,
09:04
but I don't know.
09:05
I don't know.
09:06
Is there a musician you'd like to play in a biopic?
09:09
I don't know.
09:10
I mean, that is a huge feat, you know,
09:12
and massive props and respect to Austin
09:14
because he did such a beautiful work.
09:16
And who knows?
09:17
I don't know.
09:18
But it's like, that is no joke.
09:20
That is...
09:21
You know, that's an undertaking.
09:23
And I think to do it is massive kudos
09:26
to any actor who kind of goes forth and does that.
09:29
So, maybe.
09:30
I don't know.
09:31
You've got a great voice.
09:33
You sing.
09:34
A little bit of help.
09:35
Yeah.
09:36
No, I like singing.
09:37
I get nervous.
09:38
I get nervous singing.
09:39
I'm not, like, a confident...
09:41
Like, do you enjoy singing in front of people?
09:43
No.
09:44
Or did you have to...
09:45
No, I didn't sing at all before.
09:46
No?
09:47
No.
09:48
How did you get over the nerves?
09:50
I was nervous the entire time.
09:52
Yeah, it struck me.
09:53
Yeah.
09:54
It never really goes.
09:55
I was nervous...
09:56
Every time, I'm nervous until I'm actually doing it.
09:59
You know, I'm nervous until,
10:02
like, I'm on stage,
10:03
and you have that first moment
10:05
where you feel a connection with an audience member.
10:07
I don't know.
10:08
Do you feel that when you're doing a play?
10:10
Like, are you nervous before you actually get out on stage?
10:13
But then once you're out on stage,
10:14
then it kind of, like...
10:15
The energy kind of changes into something else.
10:17
The energy, it has to get transferred into...
10:19
It gets channeled, in a way.
10:21
Yeah.
10:22
Yeah, I guess that's what I feel.
10:24
Thanks so much for speaking to me today.
10:26
Thank you!
