00:00I think Mike White is a very twisted man, and if he wasn't a brilliant screenwriter
00:04and director, he'd be deep in therapy.
00:06It feels very strange to be at this point of the year where we are already reflecting
00:10on 2024.
00:11This is the New Year's Eve Big Bash.
00:12How's your 2024 been?
00:13Please, please tell me everything.
00:14I'll tell you everything I've done this year.
00:15How long will this piece be?
00:16For an awful lot of this year, I was away in East Asia and Thailand filming White Lotus.
00:23That was strange to be away for so long in such a different culture and get to travel
00:28around and see so many different countries and be reminded that ours isn't the only
00:31way to live and that other people have different perspectives.
00:36My family came out to stay with me, which they never do.
00:38They have no interest in my work, but they do have an interest in the holiday in Thailand.
00:42That was a lovely, rare thing.
00:44Mike White's White Lotus series is phenomenal.
00:46Has he kept up the level which he'd set for himself, the standard?
00:50Is series three going to be as exciting as the first two or as surprising, I guess?
00:53It's not for me to judge whether other people will like it or not.
00:56I think it's good.
00:58I'm not addicted to White Lotus.
00:59It's odd that I'm in it.
01:00I won't be able to watch it the same way.
01:01I think Mike White is a very twisted man, and if he wasn't a brilliant screenwriter
01:05and director, he'd be deep in therapy.
01:07That's wonderful.
01:08Hey, this is the National Lottery Big Bash, so it makes me think, what's the biggest bash
01:12you've been to in 2024?
01:13What's the best party you've been to this year?
01:14In 2024, my wife turned Ng.
01:17And so we had a very big party, and then she had another giant party with two other people
01:21who also turned Ng.
01:23And so we've done with bashes for a while.
01:26Happy birthday to your wife, then, I guess.
01:28Thanks very much.
01:29And finally for me, 2025 is the year that, please complete the sentence, 2025 is the
01:33year that.
01:342025, I hope, is the year that peace breaks out.
