00:00 Let's get right into it. One of my favourite actors of all time, Donald now.
00:03 Thank you.
00:04 And I'm talking of course about your good self.
00:06 Donald Sutherland.
00:07 Filling in the boots of Mr Donald Sutherland. I know the character is very different now
00:12 but that must be as exciting for a young actor as it is daunting to take on.
00:17 Yeah, I mean at the very beginning it was super daunting. He's a hero of mine and I
00:21 love a lot of his films but especially his turn as Coriolanus in this. Honestly, very
00:27 quickly Francis Lawrence, the director, put my mind at rest and said, "Look, this is 64
00:31 years before. It's a fresh take. It is a new take on the character so feel free to take
00:36 a run at it with fresh eyes." But hopefully at the end fans and viewers see him beginning
00:43 to step into those shoes a little bit.
00:44 And not the only footsteps you're following. You've got Jennifer Lawrence. We're talking
00:47 about Hemsworth. I mean, look at the careers these guys have had over the years after Hunger
00:52 Games. How exciting is that with looking ahead for you?
00:55 Yeah, I mean it's hard to say what's next. Hopefully just some great films and some good
00:59 stories and a bit of theatre maybe. I think this franchise draws great actors because
01:04 of Suzanne Collins' writing. It's just such good writing and I think that's a testament
01:09 to her and a testament to Francis.
01:10 Well, congratulations man. Enjoy your time at home and I'm looking forward to seeing
01:13 what you do next.
