02:45Great British Bake Off, celebrity version. He was. Because he's a celebrity. I didn't do that well,
02:49actually. You know, I take so much time when I bake and then they give you pressure. They also
02:54give you less time than they should. That's, especially in the celebrity one, because they
02:58want to make good TV. And good TV means bad baking. Face only a mother could love. And they
03:02kept trying to say funny things and I was like, no, I'm focusing on the baking. Anyway, what's my
03:08hidden talent? I've got a few. Yeah. Wouldn't you like to know? Yeah, wouldn't I like to know?
03:12All of your talents are very, very loudly in people's faces. That's true. There is one I'm
03:17thinking of, though. That I know. It's not a talent. I guess it's a talent. It's a skill.
03:22One skill that you do have is never losing an argument. That is a great skill. Whether you're
03:26right or wrong, never lose an argument. I'm never wrong. I've never lost an argument to him.
03:31I think you've never won an argument to me. Yeah, I've never won an argument to him. See, another argument he just lost.

03:39I've never seen you with a Rubik's Cube in your hand ever. Well, I can. Blimey. Someone at school
03:44told me I wouldn't be able to do it, so I went home and taught myself how to do it. What did I say?
03:49What did I say? And I'm already helping myself here. What did I want to be when I grew up? Either a
03:56U.S. political affairs correspondent or an actor. That is very specific. He's talking all the time,
04:01and I picked some of it up. And finally, what's my comfort movie? That's a good one. Three. I'm
04:09thinking three. One you definitely have seen. We've watched it together. Oh. Oh. You do really
04:15like Call Me By Your Name, don't you? No. You don't? No, I've only ever watched it once. Three
04:20are Hot Fuzz. Hot Fuzz? That's one of my comfort films. I think it's great. I will watch it. I've
04:24watched it like four times already this year. What the fuck? No, it isn't. Yeah, it is. Hot Fuzz?
04:30Yeah. But I love Hot Fuzz. We never talk about Hot Fuzz. We've watched it together. I know that.
04:35We quote it all the time. I know that. So we do talk about it together. Devil Wears Prada and
04:39The Goonies are the other two. Devil Wears Prada, yes. I did know that. I didn't know The Goonies.
04:43Not my favorite film ever. Wow. There you go. I think I did pretty well there. You did very well.
04:48Yeah. The Dream Job one, that was sick. I did really well there. That was really good. Good
04:52job, mate. I'm not going to do that well. This is quite a good one. Describe what you think I was
04:56like as a child. I think that you were a child that everyone liked because you were very cute
05:01but a bit quiet. I think because you spent a lot of your childhood surrounded by a lot of adults.
05:06Yeah. I mean, it was very like, yes, you were probably nice and quiet. But yeah, we'll take
05:12that. We'll take that. What was my favorite scene to film so far? I'm guessing that is...
05:17In Heartstopper. In Heartstopper because otherwise that would be quite tricky. Well,
05:21I think it's either the scene with Ewan Will on this season in Halloween or Ewan Will on the
05:26benches in season one or two. I don't remember what it was. I don't know. I'll give you that.
05:31Is there a scene you think fans would be excited to see in season three? I think all of episode four
05:36is like the best episode of Heartstopper that has been made. Describe my perfect day off.
05:42I think you'd probably wake up late, maybe go to someone's house for a brunch.
05:55Yeah. Yeah. And then a walk, ramen, you know. Yeah. Any common. Some drinks with friends.
06:02Yeah. Yeah. Okay. What are my dog's names? Basil and Sibyl. Correct. Who would make me
06:11starstruck? Is this going to embarrass me? Do they have to be alive? Probably. Yeah. Because
06:16otherwise I think I'd be just traumatized. True. Oh, I don't know. I think there's not many people
06:21you'd be starstruck for. I've been starstruck in front of you for sure. I was starstruck when we
06:25did GQ Man of the Year. Oh yeah. I was starstruck with like most people. Oh yeah. I'm going to say
06:30no point for that and that was a boring answer and that was rubbish. But what is the answer? I
06:35don't know. A bunch of people probably. A lot of people in that room. I wanted to follow Stormzy.
06:40That's true. I just, names. Enough. Oh, this is probably going to be easy. What is the most worn
06:45piece of clothing in my closet? Either your Carhartt jeans or your Carhartt jacket. I think
06:49it's got to be the jacket, surely. Yeah, it has to be the jacket. Who washed that jacket? Yeah.
06:52But only if someone like throws up on it. Okay, good. Generally. What was my very first role?

07:09I don't know what it was for. It was a Christmas commercial for Xbox. Oh yes. I do remember now.
07:14It was called, I believe, Santa Got Fired or something. It was pretty gut-wrenching.
07:22I actually don't still to this day know how it was in any way related to Xbox, but it was.
07:27Did they give you an Xbox? No. What was my first impression of you? That I had weird thumbs. Yes.
07:33I do have weird thumbs. They're not weird. I've grown to realise they're not strange,
07:37they're not weird. They're just a little bit, you know, they're interesting. Interesting.
07:42What is my most annoying habit? You don't have any annoying habits. Oh, bless you. This is
07:47brilliant. This is great. I feel like you never normally like are left this like speechless.

08:24This is really hard. You've got some tough ones. I do. This is hard ones. And I also want to,
08:29you know, maintain the fact that you're a nice person. So I can't say the truth. It's not that
08:34hard. Go on. Give a very basic, vague ick. If someone hates gay people. That's an ick.
08:41Ain't that the truth. Ain't that the truth. Yeah. That's a good one. Yeah. What is my process
08:46for getting into character? You have a process? Yeah. I look into the mirror and I'm like, why?
