00:00How are you? Good to see you.

00:01Hey, how are you doing?

00:02OK, so what did you get to sing with Gaga on set, on camera or off camera?

00:08Oh, most of what she sings that are my songs.

00:13I want to make that clear.

00:14Start singing. Give me some.

00:16Come on, what can we sing together?

00:18What would you sing?

00:19What would you sing?

00:20No, no, no. We couldn't release that.

00:22There'd be copyright issues.

00:26I feel like you're a secret singer, no?

00:28Sometimes. Yeah, secret singer.

00:30Yeah. You know what that means?

00:32Secret. In the shower.

00:35What was it like your first day shooting with Stephanie?

00:40It was great. She came in.

00:41We were first thing I had to figure out was, what do I call you?

00:45And that was how you figure it out.

00:46What did you do? She told me, Stephanie.

00:48And so I said, OK, I said, what do I call you?

00:50She said, Steph, that's good.

00:52And so we got down to it.

00:54And it was very clear how serious she was about what,

00:56you know, the whole approach to the thing.

00:58There was no there were no nothing.

00:59There's nothing in the way.

01:01Now we got down to it pretty quickly. It was great.

01:03I really I really admired the intensity with which she was going at this stuff.

01:08And she had to re-find a voice, which was interesting

01:11because because of her musical voice is different to Gaga.

01:15Right. So she because the character was not that person.

01:18So that whole kind of dynamic between that.

01:21And it's such an interesting part of the whole thing about fame

01:25and notoriety and how much we need it and how,

01:28you know, how that impinges on us and how it messes us up and all that stuff.

01:33So what would you want to be as famous as Lady Gaga?

01:36No. Frankly, no.

01:40Let's talk Spider-Man noir.

01:42Yeah. Villain.

01:44Like I like a really like like gruesome, like violent.

01:47What do you got?

01:48I think of myself more as a philosopher.

01:51So evil mind mind thing.

01:54No, no, I think he has it.

01:56He has a kind of a drone eye view of things

02:00and he can be equally dangerous.

02:02You've spoken to Nicolas Cage.

02:04Yes, I have. Yeah. Yeah.

02:05Tell me about what's it like chatting with Nicolas Cage

02:08about being in a series with Nicolas Cage?

02:11Well, it was brief because it was at a reading and we didn't have very long.

02:14But it was nice.

02:15It was kind of it was enough to say, oh, yeah, that's who I thought it would be.

02:20He's great. He's really great.

02:21And I can't yeah, I can't wait to get we only I've shot one thing,

02:25but it wasn't a scene with him yet.

02:27So that is all to come.

02:28So I'm looking forward to it.

02:30And Maggie Smith, what will you remember most?

02:32What is that moment?

02:33Well, my my moment was an afternoon in Oxford

02:37where we were shooting in Oxford and she was remembering all the people

02:40that she had. She had been in the players there

02:43and the people who are past where she was feeling quite.

02:48It was a very poignant afternoon, but she was very sweet, very funny.

02:52And yeah, I just thought she was absolutely lovely.

02:56And of course, she terrifies everybody.

02:58But there was there was a real beating heart behind it that was unmistakable.

03:03Thank you, sir. Thank you so much.
