00:00 You're joking. No I don't!
00:02 Are we good?
00:03 *singing*
00:05 Right, you two, as we're singing, should we just continue?
00:07 Yes.
00:08 Should we do this whole thing in sing-a-song?
00:10 *singing*
00:19 You're really good at singing. You're very good at pretend trumpet.
00:22 *laughing*
00:24 We're here all day.
00:25 We're here all week.
00:26 I just love this so much. I didn't even realise it was Danny Mays until I zoomed in.
00:30 I was like, Danny Mays has got a beard and a northern accent.
00:33 How fun is he? He looks like he's a who.
00:36 He is.
00:37 He's hysterical.
00:38 That beard took, guess how long that beard took to put on every morning?
00:41 It wasn't a real beard.
00:42 It wasn't a real beard.
00:43 It was yak hair.
00:44 It was yak hair and our amazing makeup designer, Sian, had to sit Danny down for two hours every morning
00:52 and stick it hair by hair, and I'm not joking, hair by hair.
00:56 Wow.
00:57 So testable.
00:58 Men would pay for that though, some of them that can't grow a beard.
01:00 Yeah, they would.
01:01 Ace, how are you getting on with your beard? Would you pay for it?
01:03 I'm not quite there yet.
01:06 It's chic. Yours is chic. His was shaggy chic.
01:09 Yeah, I can't do shaggy yet.
01:11 Give me like 25 years.
01:13 Maybe one day.
01:14 You never know.
01:15 Maybe. I don't know.
01:16 You don't know.
01:17 I don't know what you're following me for.
01:18 Don't put my beard on my face, will you?
01:20 Give me 25 years. Is that what you said?
01:23 Yeah, I'm getting a nice salt and pepper shaggy beard going on.
01:27 Oh, I love the salt and pepper. Yes. Perfect.
01:30 In regards to this, there's that kind of drama with the family.
01:33 Do you guys get embarrassed by your family or anything?
01:36 My parents are so lovingly proud that it could be perceived as embarrassing.
01:41 One thing my mum did do, she kept trying to give my phone number out to people at work
01:45 because when the first film came out, she had people that wanted to congratulate me,
01:51 but I don't know these people, and so she was like, "Can I give you a phone number out?"
01:55 And I was like, "Oh, I don't think. I don't know. Maybe. No. Maybe. No. I'm not sure."
02:01 So it's embarrassing, but in the nicest way because she's so supportive and well-meaning and lovely.
02:10 You didn't get Deirdre from the local bakery congratulating you on WhatsApp then?
02:13 I did on Instagram.
02:15 Oh, dear.
02:16 My parents have seen me and work I've done doing various embarrassing things,
02:21 so I'm sort of over that.
02:24 Not that I don't get embarrassed. I definitely still get embarrassed,
02:27 but I think when it comes to my work, not so much because you just leave it behind
02:32 and you put it out there and it's like, "This is what I'm doing."
02:35 Makes you laugh. Great. I'm trying to detach myself from the...
02:40 Yeah, I forgot about that. You really haven't done it all, so there's no embarrassment.
02:45 Oh, yeah, you have.
02:47 Oh, yeah.
02:48 In my mind, I was going back to your youth, and I was like,
02:50 "What's embarrassing about what you did when you were a kid?"
02:53 But now I know what you're talking about.
02:54 Why should people sit down and watch it over Christmas underneath their little duvet,
02:59 little cuppa on the go with a little bickie?
03:01 And actually, why should they watch it and what biscuit should they eat with it?
03:04 Oh, that's such a long question.
03:06 Why should they watch it?
03:07 I'll answer the second question. You answer the first one.
03:10 Thanks. Why should they watch it?
03:12 I think what your Christmas or mine one did that I heard on the grapevine
03:17 was it had such a lovely quintessential Britishness.
03:21 It got compared to Love Actually by a few people, and that wasn't me comparing it.
03:25 It was a few of my friends.
03:27 And I think just that enjoyment of sitting down at Christmas
03:31 with a film about young love, miscommunication, people make mistakes,
03:36 but you can rectify those mistakes.
03:38 And Christmas isn't really about where you are.
03:41 It's sort of who you're with.
03:43 And that's what number one and number two sort of really show.
03:47 And I think, especially the past few Christmases,
03:49 we've had people not being able to be together
03:53 because of various COVIDs that have been flying around.
03:58 I think it's that nice, reassuring sit down.
04:01 It's familiar. It's comforting. It's feel good.
04:04 It's got everything you want out of a Christmas movie.
04:07 It really does.
04:08 And what, Vicky?
04:09 Ginger Snaps.
04:10 That's the most boring biscuit of all time.
04:12 Back off.
04:13 What do you mean?
04:14 The M&S.
04:15 With the chocolate Vicky.
04:16 With a cup of tea.
04:17 The Viennese one.
04:18 Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:19 And the round one with the hole in it that's just covered in chocolate.
04:21 Right, plushies.
04:22 That one. The white chocolate.
04:24 It's thick, isn't it?
04:25 Thick.
04:26 Teeth breaking stuff.
04:27 Ginger Snap.
04:29 Do you want to change your answer?
04:32 No.
04:33 Okay.
04:34 Not after you've received such a response.
04:37 I also want to ask you, there is mistaken identity in this.
04:39 Have you guys ever been mistaken for someone else that someone ran up to you and was like,
04:43 "Oh my God, it's Harry Styles."
04:45 And you're like, "Yeah, it's me."
04:47 Who?
04:48 Do you know, I was in the pub the other day and someone, this person, I didn't know them,
04:53 they were completely chatting out of there.
04:57 They came over and went, "You look like Rita Ora."
05:00 And I went, "You're joking. No, I don't."
05:03 But I was like, "Oh, Rita Ora."
05:09 Anyone?
05:10 What if they said, "I love your new single. Can you sing it to me?"
05:12 Would you have just done it?
05:13 No. No.
05:15 Because it would have been bad and they would have gone, "She can't sing live in real life."
05:19 Well, no, they would have gone, "That's not Rita Ora."
05:21 But no, I was like, "What?"
05:24 I see some people constantly say, "I loved you in End of the F***ing World."
05:28 Alex? Martha?
05:30 Yeah.
05:31 What?
05:32 I know. We don't even look alike.
05:34 Maybe mannerisms?
05:36 No.
05:37 Even them.
05:38 No, that's absolute tosh.
05:40 Do you play along with them?
05:42 It depends what mood I'm in.
05:44 Sometimes I'm like, "Sure."
05:46 But when they really are good, I'm like, "You know, that's not me. Sorry."
05:50 Do you think they just use it to talk to you?
05:52 So they can go, "I'm sorry. Who are you then?"
05:54 And you go, "Asa Butterfield."
05:56 And they go, "Oh my God!"
05:57 No, I think you'd do that and shake his head a bit slow-mo.
06:00 Shake your beard a bit.
06:01 Yeah.
06:02 That's Rita Ora.
06:03 (laughing)
