00:00 I'll do the voice and you do the...

00:02 I'll do the arms.

00:04 Yeah, that's a puppet.

00:06 That was one of our theatre games we had to do.

00:08 We had to act out the other person.

00:10 Let's try it.

00:12 My name is Mark Ruffalo.

00:17 Prose.

00:18 Rhymes with Uffalo.

00:20 Great, we can do my whole interview like this.

00:24 It would be wonderful.

00:25 Guys, this film is insane in the best possible way.

00:29 I love your Losses films anyway.

00:32 So this might be one of my favourites to date.

00:35 Willem, who had the best reaction to seeing you made up for the first time?

00:40 Because I have to be honest, the first time I saw it I was quite shocked.

00:43 And then everything else that he has going on as well.

00:47 I was the first one to say it because I'm sitting in a mirror for four hours

00:51 watching this stuff get applied.

00:56 They went through a big process to arrive at that make-up.

01:01 It's a beautiful make-up.

01:02 There's a transformation quite literal and that really helps you with the pretending.

01:06 Mark, did you enjoy hamming up the British accent for this role?

01:10 Because honestly, I forget that you were American when you're...

01:13 Hot damn.

01:18 Yeah, I did. I really did.

01:21 It's such a particular...

01:24 I just started a daydream about the sound that he'd have.

01:29 It's so particular.

01:31 Terry Thomas, who's a famous English cad,

01:36 was one of my inspirations for it.

01:39 It was so much fun to do and so weird at times.

01:46 Sometimes I even wonder, maybe Duncan Wedderburn isn't really English

01:50 and his accent is just affecting an English accent.

01:54 He's just totally foolish.

01:56 It could be. But very well done.

01:59 I particularly liked a lot of God's creations that were wandering around the house.

02:06 Did you guys have any particular favourites?

02:09 You know, that's done in post.

02:12 No, you mean we didn't actually create them?

02:16 We had one element.

02:19 Yeah, we had the duck.

02:21 We had the chicken, but not the bulldog head.

02:25 And we had the goat, but not the goose head.

02:28 Mark, I know that you have said that the sex scenes were not your favourite.

02:32 So what was your favourite in it?

02:35 What was the bit that you really enjoyed the most?

02:38 Probably the dance. It just encompasses the whole relationship.

02:43 That whole sequence, the dance, the fight.

02:47 The immediate smash cut to them having sex.

02:50 That whole sequence was just delicious.

02:54 And the dance is funny. It has the relationship in it.

02:59 Their struggle with each other, dominating and refusing to be dominated.

03:07 How about for you, Willem? What was your particular favourite?

03:10 I'm tough with favourites. Everything's my favourite.

03:13 I'm that kind of guy.

03:15 The whole movie is like your baby.

03:17 Doing the practical stuff, the cutting and being in the lab is cool.

03:24 But I also like very much the end scenes with Emma,

03:28 just because everything leads to that.

03:31 So even though they aren't worked terribly and they're quite brief,

03:36 I find them really touching.

03:38 And even as I was doing them, I found them kind of moving.

03:41 I couldn't watch a lot of those surgery scenes, however.

03:43 I did look away, because even though I know they're fake, they...

03:46 She stares.

03:48 Again, we should not give any spoilers away.

03:51 My goodness, there's so much here that was just incredible to watch.

03:56 Incredible. Congratulations, guys. Good luck with it.

03:59 Thank you.

04:00 Thank you so much.
