00:00 So I saw the film and I loved it.

00:02 Congrats on this project.

00:05 So this movie's set in 2006.

00:07 I love all the music.

00:08 Barry, are you shocked as I am

00:10 that this is now considered a period piece of sorts

00:12 because I'm feeling kind of old.

00:14 - Yeah, 2006, man, wow.

00:17 That does make me feel old.

00:18 - Makes me feel old, yeah.

00:19 (laughing)

00:21 - Yeah.

00:22 - Now--

00:23 - It's considered a period piece, you say?

00:24 - I mean, it could be, you know?

00:26 - Jeez.

00:27 - Yeah, I was seven.

00:29 I was like eight.

00:31 What age are you?

00:32 - We're close.

00:32 - Yeah.

00:33 And Jacob, so you've had to tackle

00:37 so many different accents in your roles,

00:40 a British one here, an American one in Euphoria,

00:42 and of course your Elvis voice.

00:45 Which one has been the hardest to master?

00:47 - You know, I actually think this one

00:49 was probably the trickiest

00:50 'cause I was surrounded by Brits the whole time.

00:54 So there's a--

00:55 - And Irish.

00:56 - Just saying.

00:57 - No, I wasn't too worried about

00:58 Barry's perspective on my accent.

01:00 But when you have Rosamund Pike in the room,

01:02 it's definitely terrifying when you're doing her voice.

01:05 - And Barry, there's been some Oscar buzz

01:09 surrounding this film.

01:10 How has that felt for you?

01:11 - It has.

01:12 - And really sunk in?

01:13 - Wait, wasn't I called Oscar last night?

01:14 - You were called Oscar nominated.

01:16 - Oh, Oscar nominated.

01:17 That's, yeah.

01:18 No, that's, you know what?

01:19 That's pretty cool.

01:21 It is.

01:22 It's, your reaction to it has been great,

01:24 and if that comes, it comes.

01:25 But yeah, I don't know what way to answer that really.

01:29 You know what I mean?

01:30 It's always, but yeah.

01:32 - This film also features a lot of complex characters.

01:35 Jacob, what do you think it is

01:36 about these types of characters,

01:38 whether it be rich, unlikable types,

01:40 or more calculating characters

01:42 like Barry's character Oliver

01:44 that's so fascinating for audiences to watch?

01:47 - I mean, they're all human beings,

01:49 and I think people try to hide

01:50 those sort of dark (beep) places in themselves.

01:54 And I think these characters

01:56 bring those parts of ourselves to light.

01:58 - Wow.

01:59 - You like that?

02:00 - Love that.

02:01 - Yeah.

02:01 - I'm gonna take that one for my solo.

02:04 (laughing)

02:06 - And Barry, what was it like working

02:07 with Emerald on this project?

02:09 Were you a fan of her past work?

02:11 - Yeah.

02:11 I was a massive fan of Emerald's,

02:13 and she was definitely on my list.

02:16 And, you know, so when the opportunity came about,

02:19 I jumped on it.

02:20 But yeah, I mean, getting to work with everyone on this

02:23 is, you know, I was kind of a fan boy.

02:26 That kind of goes out the window after a few hours.

02:29 But yeah, I was blessed.

02:31 It was an incredible experience, yeah.

02:33 - And Jacob, I know Margot Robbie

02:36 was one of the producers on this film.

02:37 What was it like working with her on this?

02:40 - Oh, Margot's the best, you know?

02:42 Goes without saying.

02:43 She's, we were led by like an incredible team of people.

02:48 So it's kind of same as Barry.

02:50 Just sort of pinching myself the whole time

02:51 that I was there.

02:52 - Yeah.

02:53 - I couldn't believe I was working with Jacob Elordi.

02:55 - I couldn't believe I was working with Barry Keoghan.

02:57 - No, honestly.

03:00 - Barry, fans love seeing you as the Joker and the Batman.

03:05 Can you share any updates?

03:07 Will we get to see you in this role again?

03:09 - Do you know what?

03:12 I can't really answer that, but I can, but no, I can't.

03:16 But no, it's, I mean, I've obviously,

03:20 I enjoyed my time on that and, you know,

03:23 it's an iconic part to play and, but yeah,

03:28 I'd love to obviously see it go forward

03:29 and we'll see what happens.

03:32 - We'll see what the future holds.

03:35 What drew you both to playing Oliver and Felix?

03:38 I feel like they're such different characters

03:40 and departures from the past characters

03:42 that you both played.

03:46 - I mean, you know, Emerald was the draw for me.

03:51 You know, I wanted to work with Emerald

03:52 and, you know, that was the kind of,

03:55 you know, the reason I stepped on.

03:59 And obviously, you know, when a director approaches you

04:01 with telling you that they had you in mind from the start,

04:04 it's kind of a nice feeling.

04:07 So, I mean, the character itself is challenging.

04:11 It's a showcase for a young actor.

04:14 It's a part that, you know, you get to kind of,

04:17 you know, really elevate yourself.

04:19 And so, I mean, it was all there for me, all there.

04:22 - And what about you, Jacob?

04:25 - Yeah, Em was, she was like very specific

04:30 and very vague in the first meeting we had

04:33 about what it was gonna be,

04:34 but it was just based off of our first conversation

04:37 before I even knew what the movie was,

04:39 I knew I was gonna go in and play, you know,

04:41 whatever she would let me play in a movie.

04:43 She's really one of the best, you know,

04:47 and we just had the time of our lives.

04:50 - And then could you both describe the film in three words?

04:54 - Exhilarating.

04:55 - Sexy.

04:57 - Charming.

04:58 - Sexy.

04:59 - Cinema. - Sexy.

05:01 And yeah, proper sexy.

05:05 Like proper, proper, proper sexy.

05:08 Not because I'm in it, but like, no, yeah,

05:11 because I'm in it.

05:12 - Yeah, he's in it, yeah.

05:14 - I mean that dance scene,

05:15 you kind of really put your all into it.

05:18 - I did, indeed.

05:20 I did.

05:20 - He's got the moves.

05:21 - I've got the moves.

05:22 I didn't know I had the moves, you know what I'm saying?

05:24 But--

05:24 - There was a little bit of fussy in there.

05:26 - Yeah, but no, I was quite the challenge,

05:29 but after the first take, I was, you know,

05:32 Emeril kind of creates a really comfortable set

05:34 for you to try these things.

05:36 It's not a normal thing to get out and dance in your nude,

05:40 but again, if it moves the story forward

05:42 and creatively it's for the right reasons,

05:45 well then I'm doing it.

05:46 But I definitely wanted to challenge myself as an actor

05:49 and kind of show maturity in taking that step.

05:53 But I had fun.

05:56 I had fun doing it.

05:57 (upbeat music)

06:00 (upbeat music)

06:04 (upbeat music)
