00:00And the Immortal Man, do you both survive to the end?

00:03Don't forget though, yeah? Yeah?

00:05Does he survive? Does he die at the end?

00:08Jay, mate, congratulations again on this movie.

00:10We've spoken already, I've told you how much I enjoyed it.

00:13But nights like tonight where you actually get to take to the car for it,

00:16you're side by side with this cast who I'm sure you're very close to

00:19during the making of this movie.

00:20It kind of puts things into perspective a little bit, I guess, doesn't it?

00:24Reminds you how privileged you are to be like

00:26where you are and the stories that you're telling?

00:28Oh, of course, man. These are the most important stories.

00:31And personally, the stories that I love,

00:33these groundbreaking, heartbreaking, emotional topics

00:37that we're trying to show on film.

00:41You know, mental health is a very sensitive topic

00:43and, you know, it's important to talk about.

00:46How difficult was it as a film to make for you?

00:48Because you always say, like actors say,

00:50they have to plunge their own depths.

00:52Like the characters aren't just the characters on the page,

00:54but it's a little bit of them as well as what you see on screen.

00:57And you had to kind of go to a place in this

01:01that was sometimes quite difficult to watch.

01:03Yeah.

01:04So how has that been for you kind of creatively?

01:07Was it sort of something you're excited to do every morning

01:11or was this you were at war with yourself

01:14to get what you put on the screen?

01:16I felt like the escapism was very freeing to play shy.

01:21So personally, like, I did enjoy it,

01:23but, you know, it doesn't take away with the tasks at hand that I have.

01:28But also it's just like a lot of resource.

01:30So like talking to my dad because he was working

01:33in these alternative educational units.

01:36The book, which is just incredible to me.

01:39Like, Max is a genius.

01:40Tim Meilens as well, Tim Meilens,

01:43the conversations that we had.

01:45And, yeah, look, I've been saying it today,

01:47but I just felt so safe with these boys.

01:50And, you know, when you have safety,

01:51you feel like as an actor you can just go anywhere.

01:54And if you go too far, they can just bring you back.

01:56Yeah.

01:56You know?

01:57And you're side by side with one of the most lauded actors

02:01on screen today, Cillian Murphy.

02:04Not just in this, but in the Peaky Blinders movie

02:06that is coming up.

02:07You can't tell us too much about it.

02:09But talk me through this experience working with him at the moment.

02:12What have you gleaned from working with him so far

02:16and the way he operates and the way he conducts himself

02:18and the way he approaches the work?

02:20What have you soaked up as an actor

02:23over the course of these two fantastic pieces of work?

02:26Well, one fantastic piece of work,

02:27and I'm going to assume the Peaky Blinders movie is a banger.

02:29I think he's just like a curious and passionate human being.

02:33I think he really loves what he does.

02:36And one of my favourite moments was just like

02:38when I'd see him behind the monitor

02:40and just seeing what he's nitpicking at.

02:43But then also just an amazing scene partner,

02:45a very giving person.

02:47The most important thing for me is just how human he is.

02:49You know what I mean?

02:50It's like with everyone in this,

02:52it's like you leave your egos at the door

02:54because we're telling something that is very honest.

02:56and if you have any of your ego in front of you,

02:59we're not going to be able to be as vulnerable as we like.

03:04So, yeah, man, very grateful.

03:06The guys looked out for me this last year

03:08and I can't thank him enough.

03:10And the Immortal Man, do you both survive to the end?

03:13Can I give a...

03:13Bob, get there, yeah?

03:14Yeah, did you survive?

03:15Did you die at the end?

03:16Bob?

03:16Yeah, no matter what...

03:17I'll go out, I'll catch you then.

03:19Bye, mate.

03:20Thanks, bro.

03:21Take care.
