00:00 Congratulations on the movie, Napoleon. As brutal and as epic and scenic and incredible
00:07 as you'd expect from a Sir Ridley Scott movie, but with almost a surprising humour and even
00:13 cheekiness I think that kind of cuts through it. What's been the biggest surprise for you
00:18 in the process of making this movie and with the finished product that you've got?
00:22 Yeah, we wanted it to have a playfulness even though it was very strange, you know, what
00:27 an extreme time and a psyche in both Napoleon and Josephine being his counterpoint. So even
00:34 though it was kind of dysfunctional in many ways and they had this chemistry that was
00:40 very potent and we had to laugh all the way through it, often in scenes, sometimes a lot
00:46 in between takes because it was such a kind of intense, brutal world that we had fun in
00:52 the making of it and that was so important.
00:54 Speaking to Ben Miles, obviously your old pal from The Crown, he said there's a kind
00:57 of cheekiness to Joaquin on set which helped break things down a little bit.
01:01 Yeah, he's amazing. I love him and it was so magic to play this kind of intimacy and
01:07 this intensity between them. I had a really good time.
