00:00 - Hello. - Hi.
00:01 - Hi, hi, how are you? - Very good, how are you?
00:04 I'm great, I'm so excited to talk Pauline, to finally be here in this moment.
00:10 I just want to ask, just to start off, I know that we've kind of teased in the trailer now
00:17 that there will be some mentoring going on this season.
00:20 So if you could each give your characters some advice
00:24 on what's about to go down, what would you tell them?
00:28 I think I would say figure it out and confess how you're feeling before it's too late, bro.
00:36 Younger bro.
00:38 I think don't run before you can walk, girl.
00:42 If you think that you're going to walk into a ball with your new dress
00:46 and immediately find a husband, that is setting your sights a little too high.
00:49 Give yourself a minute to learn to walk in those new shoes.
00:54 That is good advice. Kind of settle into it for a second.
00:58 I did want to ask about the transformation.
01:01 I mean, we get to see so many rom-coms where characters go through that.
01:04 So what was it like for you, Nicola, having your own transformation?
01:07 It was incredible.
01:09 We have an insanely brilliant team behind us that design our beautiful costumes,
01:14 make our wigs, do gorgeous makeup, everything.
01:18 And so you couldn't feel better prepared.
01:20 And I've seen the months of work that have gone into making Penelope's reveal dress,
01:23 if you want to call it that, and also the cloak that had magnets all the way down
01:27 so I could open it and it just flew in a really incredible way.
01:30 But for me personally, as Nicola, it was a nerve-wracking moment
01:34 because I'm super comfortable to be wearing Penelope's crazy yellow dresses and looking mad.
01:41 But then, you know, when the MOs look hot walking down the stairs,
01:46 I'm like, I don't know how to do that.
01:47 But then it was fine because Penelope would also have a lot of insecurity about it.
01:50 So I can just use that in my performance.
01:53 It's so funny when the Q is look hot, you're like, no, no.
01:57 Yeah, I'm Irish. I don't know about that.
01:59 I would be scared as well.
02:02 I'd be like, listen, this is a new world.
02:04 But at least, yeah, at least you did get to go through it with Penelope's.
02:08 That's always nice.
02:08 Yes, yes, yes.
02:09 And Luke, I have to ask, have you seen how much the internet is mad at Colin?
02:14 Do you know how angry everyone is?
02:16 I've experienced it for two years now.
02:21 I am really looking forward to the moment when, I mean,
02:25 hopefully there's a forgiveness moment.
02:27 I mean, yeah, he's a nice boy.
02:30 As is Colin.
02:31 I think we should give him a break.
02:33 I know they're mad, but he feels bad about it.
02:35 We get into it really early on in the season and then it kind of changes,
02:40 changes the vibe between the two of them immediately.
02:43 Yeah, yeah.
02:44 I mean, I'm sorry that the season was taking so long
02:47 because then you just had to endure it longer.
02:49 I mean, I know the poor guy.
02:50 Like, they'll be ready.
02:52 You're outside my room, it's a nightmare.
02:54 And I have to ask, I know we're obviously doing
02:59 friends to lovers this season, but like, is that your favorite trope?
03:04 Or are we more of like an enemies to lovers?
03:06 What do you guys enjoy?
03:07 I think it has to be friends to lovers.
03:09 I think it is my favorite actually.
03:10 I haven't.
03:11 I think we've lived in it, you know, we've really grown up in these characters
03:16 and experienced it from day one.
03:18 So I feel like I'd be wrong of us to favorite any other trope.
03:21 I just think it's the nicest one because I rewatched When Harry Met Sally recently.
03:25 And it's just like, because I think it's a different type of love
03:29 because it's a love when you're truly known,
03:31 which means so much more than, you know, first blushes of love
03:36 or love at first sight, lust, all of that stuff.
03:39 Like true, deep love is people knowing every flaw that you have
03:44 and every good and bad bit and still accepting it and going,
03:47 "I love you because of them."
03:49 Yeah, yeah.
03:50 Oh, that's a fire one.
03:51 I really, I felt it right now.
03:55 Do you have any advice for the viewers that are going to be seeing
04:00 only part one this time around?
04:03 Enjoy the wait because we will be doing fun stuff in the break.
04:09 It's not like it's going to be like episode four comes out
04:12 and then you've got nothing to do.
04:14 No, we're going to, we'll be in places around the world.
04:17 We can't say where, but hopefully we'll be near you
04:20 and you can come and meet us.
04:22 Yeah.
04:22 Absolutely.
04:23 I love that.
04:24 I love that little.
04:25 And just to close off, I mean, can you just talk a little bit
04:30 about what you love about their friendship
04:32 and just how much it means to you both?
04:34 I think it's almost what you said just now is that,
04:37 is how much they know each other.
04:39 And it comes from a place of true friendship.
04:43 And we've said before that they really feel like
04:45 they can be themselves in front of each other.
04:48 And I think that personally, I feel like Colin's favourite version
04:53 of himself is when he's with Penn.
04:55 And I think that's a really special thing in a relationship
04:58 is to feel like yourself, but also feel confident in that.
05:04 And feel like it's the best version of you is really special.
05:09 And that sort of is something that really resonates
05:12 with these two characters.
05:13 Yeah.
05:15 Well, thank you both so much.
05:16 That's all the time I have, but congratulations.
05:19 Thank you very much.
05:19 Thank you.
05:20 Nice to meet you.
05:21 Nice to speak to you.
