00:56First off, this British star is proper acting royalty, having played a lord in Bridgerton,

01:01a prince in Wicked, and now about to play a king in Shakespeare's Richard II.

01:05It's a first-time welcome to Mr. Jonathan Bailey!

02:54Your hip.

02:55You look good.

02:56The other hip was hurt, and I got a little shot.

03:00Oh, yeah.

03:00To numb it.

03:02And they got it.

03:03But this one, they went in there, and they missed.

03:08So they didn't get it.

03:09What did they get?

03:10But when they did it, like this part.

03:13I thought exactly, Michelle.

03:14No, they missed.

03:15Michelle, they missed.

03:16And so this part went numb.

03:43Obviously, lovely to see all of you,

03:45but I'm especially thrilled to see Cameron Diaz.

03:48It's been 11 years.

03:4911 years.

03:51It did fly by.

03:53It did fly by.

03:54It did fly by.

03:55But here's the thing.

03:56When you left, you went goodbye.

03:59We thought we'd never see you again.

04:00But now you're back in the world of films.

04:02I am.

04:03Well, I mean, at least for this, I am.

04:05Yeah.

04:06And all thanks to this man.

04:07Thanks to Jamie, yeah.

04:08Because, you know, look, 10 years completely just, like,

04:12not even paying attention.

04:14I wasn't accepting any, you know, advances.

04:18Yeah.

04:18You know?

04:19And then I got this script, and it was, like,

04:23my husband Benj and I started talking about,

04:25maybe it's time to kind of, like,

04:27switch it up for the family a little bit, maybe.

04:29Yeah.

04:30Because it's Jamie.

04:32Yeah.

04:32You know?

04:33And if I'm going to leave my family for 10 hours a day,

04:38I want to do it with somebody, one,

04:40the most talented man in entertainment.

04:42You will never laugh harder than with this man.

04:52And he's a professional.

04:54We obviously have history together.

04:56We've done two films together.

04:57I know the partnership I was going to get.

04:59And we thought, you know, let's do it.

05:01Let's do it.

05:03I'm so glad you did.

05:04Welcome back to Cameron.

05:08But it's a first-time welcome to Jonathan Bailey.

05:11Hello.

05:16But actually, you look mad for Jonathan.

05:18You look good, Jack.

05:20You look good, man.

05:21I love that suit, man.

05:22Thanks, Jamie.

05:23Let him see that suit, man.

05:24You look stupid.

05:24Let him see that suit.

05:26Let him see that suit.

05:27Let him see that suit.

05:28Let him see that suit.

05:29Come on, man.

05:30Come on, man.

05:31Come on, man.

05:32Come on.

05:33Come on.

05:38You're so to see the eye.

05:40I think Jamie just like standing up because it hurts less

05:50But don't get partnerships because Jonathan and Michelle you've been all around the world because of course you're both part of the the wicked

06:03You were kind of on the same press store for a long time for two years

06:07Yeah, we were we've been at it for a while. Yeah, but we've had so much fun

06:14Yet you sent us this picture

06:20These press tours can get very tiring and there he was lying then I was like

06:26Gotta steal the snuggles

06:29And Michelle congratulations because I think it was when you were filming wicked

06:34You got to go to LA and pick up your Oscar. That's yes

06:45Just before that you came on to promote the movie and then

06:50Yeah, and then you know when you're up for awards, I guess there's pressure on yourself because you're kind of thinking

06:55Oh, I hope I win this is terrifying. Yeah pressure from the movie right, but yeah

06:58Yeah, but you're the pressure you the pressure of Malaysia

07:05I almost to the when you know the best actress is the second to last so you said that the entire evening

07:13Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. And then just before all this

07:17Jamie the Kurdish the other Jamie

07:20Oh

07:31Expression was like don't worry. It's okay. If you lose you will still love you

07:36My head flashed to my mom who in Malaysia with the six hours time difference

07:41They had to get up at six in the morning to do this red carpet and watch the the entire show and I was thinking

08:05In the pride of Texas where where where what's your town? Terrell, Texas, Terrell, Texas, and I'm of course proud of Long Beach Long Beach

08:34A lot of a lot of Caucasian people were telling me that I was

08:38You got it in the bag man, you got it in the but it was it was it was amazing

08:44It was it was a great film and Ray Charles

08:48The only thing that I would say is is that it the Oscar made me feel different

08:54So I didn't keep it at my house

08:56Okay, because I'm a comic and I wanted to go back to be in my my you know the funny stuff

09:01But the Oscars it made me feel like soon as I put it in my hand. I started speaking in like an English accent

09:24So where is the Oscar is that the grid? Oh, it's at my house now. It wasn't at first

09:29Oh, I see what I got it back home because I wanted to go back to being me

09:34You know I'm saying and it made me kind of feel like you know like I was too good and I didn't want to feel that

21:49Paramount Plus fasten your seatbelts here's a taste of what to expect 31 is a

21:55black ops division spy work it's just a place for people to bend the rules

21:59Starfleet is here to make sure no one commits murder

22:04whatever you believed your mission was it's worse than you thought

22:10how do we stop it we work together and don't get dead I'll try my hardest

22:21you ready let's get messy

22:24you don't answer her questions directly she will punch you in your face what you said that she was

22:31she's gonna be doing the face punching I lied you have no idea what you've started

22:41this is gonna be bad five four three two one we survived together

22:49oh yeah and for those who don't know who is Emperor Jojo and what's up with her now oh gosh

23:09Emperor Jojo is badass yes I came upon her when I was doing Star Trek Discovery the TV

23:19series and I came on first as the vet much loved captain Philippa Jojo in part of the Federation I

23:27was a captain of Shenzhou but tragically captain Philippa Jojo gets killed by the Klingon yes I

23:36remember saying to the showrunner when they approached me and I said am I going to get killed is my

23:41character going to get killed and you know how it happens say they love to kill someone and you go like

23:46no and they said no but you come back yeah clone or what and then when I read the script and realized

23:58this character was so badass she came back right at the end of season one and said don't you bow

24:05before your Emperor you imagine oh my god wow and I mean particularly the Star Trek fans they take it

24:13very seriously so do you go to the big comic cons to meet all the fans I am hopeless I I I have stage

24:20fright you don't understand I am sweating literally buckets right now okay because it's it takes a lot for

24:28me to be on stage and speaking and thinking oh god I'm going to make such a fool of myself so every

24:33time when there is comic-con I go oh I and somehow I managed to escape it but you did go one year but

24:41you went in disguise yes I hid in the audience I disguised myself I put on this mask this hat and I sort

24:49of like sauntered up to wait you have the little mic in front of the the stage and you ask the cast

24:55questions so then I woke up and said so you know what's it like working with Michelle Yeoh

25:01like what the heck you're Michelle Yeoh we've got a picture of this is right after they've rumbled that

25:10it's Michelle Yeoh and there's a fan behind who seems very impressed what I think we like is

25:18there's then a security guy who's just about to grab her I knew comic cons are big look at the size of

25:36that's in there like an arena or something it's actually it's huge yeah it's that fan base is so

25:42amazing that love in that room yes and talking of fan favorites Jonathan Bailey you're now in part of

25:49the kind of Jurassic World so the new movie is coming out this year man you get involved in big stunts in

25:57that a few yeah coming stunts yeah there is um there's lots of harness work actually oh in that film yeah um for the

26:08character okay so I sort of rigged up for about a week um hanging off a crane oh the biggest wedgie of all time

26:16with Scarlett Johansson so it's actually it was yeah she checked me up because Michelle you would think kind of oh you

26:24would say no to stunt work now but no what's the thing you get ready every morning mm-hmm I I work out I

26:31do my kicks and punches and it's but I you know it's part of my daily routine that is part of my life so

26:40it's not like I'm going to do an action film with it okay and I have to go into training it's because at

26:47any moment someone could do an action sequence and you're you're there yeah okay the last time we

27:03were here we didn't talk about Quentin Tarantino but I didn't know I didn't understand the role he

27:09played in your life so you were you were in Hong Kong and you were kind of you were done with movies no

27:15no no I had a really bad accident making I wanted to pay homage to the stunt people so we made a movie

27:22called the story of Akam the stunt woman and in shooting that I was pushed off a flyover and we had

27:31done the the wide shot where you know I landed it was all good then we want to do a close-up man the fall

27:38was maybe from there but I did not anticipate the push was so hard and I tumbled over and nose dived

27:47into and we use cardboard boxes we don't use like you know and all I remember was my head got jammed

27:55into the boxes and my legs came from behind and I heard this in my back I flipped over and I was in the

28:07hospital I had a full cast on and then I was back home you know trying to recover and when you get

28:13injured that's the most depressing time of your life because you are helpless you can't do anything

28:19and I think at that point I was thinking maybe I should just rethink this whole action thing maybe

28:26it's time to take a step back maybe do something else I don't know and it was at that point when Quentin

28:33came to town and he you know Quentin he's very determined to do certain things and when he came

28:39to Hong Kong he says I want to meet Jackie Jet and Michelle and he met with our guys and I said okay so I'm

28:47sitting in the living room with my you know neck brace and all that very steady and suddenly I see this huge

28:57guy come bounding down the stairs oh Michelle then he picks up a pillow throws it on the ground

29:03literally just sits at my feet and starts to talk about my movies and what inspired him and

29:10going frame for frame into the first action sequence that I'd ever done like going through a back

29:16through a pane of glass and all that and so you know as I spoke with him I realized and I started

29:23getting very excited and then next thing my people are like can you please stop waving your arms around

29:27and then I realized it's true when you love something you can't just give up on it you just so I have

29:34Quentin to thank for that and because you know he brought it all back to a realization it's like be

29:41smart don't give up just find a nice way find a proper way of doing it but you've never worked with

29:47them have you no and I asked him when he did um kill bill I said yeah I thought you're a big fan

29:56and buddy and then he said to me that's so Quentin nobody would believe that Uma Thurman can kick your

30:04ass obviously you work with Tarantino in Django Unchained and I heard you in an interview talking

30:20about how he kind of changed you as an actor like he was he was strict yeah he was uh he was amazing

30:27but uh uh I I think what he where he was strict was is that in Django I was supposed to be a slave

30:34you know I was a slave I'm a slave in uh in Django and uh but when I first got to uh to the set you

30:44know I'm not actually a slave so when I got to the set I'm Jamie Foxx reading the part of a slave so

30:51so I was I guess I was reading the part too cool or whatever you know I'm a slave what's happening

30:58I was too cool and he he ain't playing he pulled me in the room says you know what I knew this was

31:09gonna happen I knew it I knew it I knew it you're I said what's wrong he said you're too fucking cool

31:16bro you're a slave you're not some cool guy I said what you mean he said you come in with your Louie

31:23bag and your Range Rover that you drove here in and he says you're not gonna be able to do the

31:29character unless you let all of that go oh boy and be the slave and I was like damn you know and he

31:38was right so the next day I I came there uh and I didn't use a Range Rover I was in a covered wagon

31:44no but he but he was he was strict in the sense in in order to get the get the movie where we needed

32:03to go we did have to you know strip those things away and then uh and then it made sense you know

32:10it made sense and and but but I was doing my thing to get in the movie too though because

32:17the horse that I rode in the movie was actually my horse that's my horse that's my own previously

32:25owned you owned it previously no that's my I own that horse right now that's he's a horseman he's

32:29from Texas yeah so that's my right but I knew everybody was trying to be Django so that was my edge

32:37I know Will Smith was you know yo so yeah here there whatever and then Idris Idris with his good

32:47looking ass you know he was like you know Quentin Tarantino really wants me to do this really wants me to do this

32:55Django you know I said oh I said so I brought my horse I have a horse and I said I said Quentin I know they trying to do

33:00anything but I got my own horse and he goes you got your own fucking horse who has their own horse I

33:07said I got mine right outside and what I knew about my horse was my horse looked exactly like the stunt

33:13horse you just had to paint the shoes white wow wow so Jamie owns a horse Jonathan you you don't own a

33:30horse but you have a horse that you love there's a horse I love yeah I call Jack word oh I won't do a

33:37picture of Jack so there he is this is Jack he's beautiful that's a beautiful horse yeah and I mean

33:43obviously when you've read them and you look after them they are the most beautiful creatures but I

33:47worked with Jack for six months and trained with him and I really the one thing I knew that basically

33:54this was in Bridgerton and and I got offered wicked and I went to go and see John Chu the dragon and you

33:58brought the horse well I read the script and I said yes before reading through it then I was like oh great

34:01there's a horse great yeah you know called up Jack he was up for it so I then went and so yes it was

34:07amazing but I so Jack is also in wicked he's in wicked yeah here's Fiero's horse in wicked but he's

34:13also I've he lives on a farm just out of London and you can go back and visit him and ride him but

34:19there was one I went one day and they were like yeah Emily Blunt and John Krasinski he's just been

34:23here Emily Brunswick and I sort of felt that Jack was looking at me as if she he was like she's a real actress

34:28but he's clearly and you know I mean all horses are amazing there is something very special about

34:35Jackie and he's got he's got more credits than Wow so we'll be back in the new playing a dinosaur

34:42just a reminder everyone that Michelle Yeoh is in Star Trek section 31 that's a Paramount Plus for the 24th of January

34:58but now but now need I ask is everyone ready for some Shakespeare I thought so

35:08yes Jonathan Bailey is a Richard the second he'll be at the bridge theatre from the 10th of February

35:17the 10th of May so a Richard a second is one of those Kings that we don't know much much about so

35:23who's Richard at second why is there a play about him it's an extraordinary play it's um it's it's

35:30about a tyrannical useless violent and emotionally unstable king um who is overthrown and usurped by Henry the

35:39fourth um and in he's like so many of Shakespeare's plays there's just so much beautiful poetry and he uses a

35:48very vivid imagination um to learn about himself and become self-aware and and he realizes that actually you have to

35:55have nothing to be happy um so it's an extraordinary sort of examination of the character but also of an autocratic leader

36:04and for some reason we thought it might be quite a good time to do that

36:07we are you know we look we are in the democracy so we you get to exercise our right to vote but we're

36:24talking about a king who um rules and has the cast-iron right to rule because he inherited the crown from

36:31his father um so it's directed by sir Nicholas Heitner who is directed loads of films and theatre but uh he is

36:38extraordinary um director of Shakespeare and it's a privilege to see him are you in rehearsals now yeah I came we did the

36:46the deposition the famous deposition scene today I finished at about five o'clock

36:49wow and so Nicholas Heitner he you you worked with him before and you kind of credit him he was the person who took you from being a kind of young not quite a child actor but a kind of a

36:59juvenile actor yeah being a proper adult it's funny when people talk about like you know their breaks

37:04in the career and and uh and obviously I started the Royal Shakespeare by the time I was 13 I was

37:09thinking about this in the rehearsal room I'd done three plays for the Royal Shakespeare Company by the

37:14the time I was 13 which is wow and I remember I didn't go to drama school and it was it was always a

37:28hobby and performing at the National Theatre and doing Shakespeare I didn't get into drama school but I

37:37remember going to I had an audition for you didn't get in a drama yeah don't go to drama school you know

37:47but he it was Othello and uh and I I remember he offered me the job um in the room like two days

37:55before Christmas when I was 22 and I just remember just going oh there's such a boat of confidence

37:59yeah and so 10 years later we're now when are you last on stage was company the last thing you did

38:04or if you didn't know I did a play called cock oh yes I remember well I showed my partner

38:09what was the name it was called cock but that wasn't that one wait wait wait wait wait I'm still

38:24trying to figure out the name of this

38:30so you went you went back that's the one that's you got it yeah 13 that was amazing

38:37right 13. he was older than 13. I was just kidding I'm just thinking about what I was doing when

38:46I was 13. selling weed no I'm kidding I didn't sell weed I didn't sell weed when I was 13. I was 16 actually

38:58one of my favorite stories about Jamie so Jamie was a child the precocious child

39:13I'm going to start the story he's going to finish it no no no no no no I'm here so he used to he used

39:20to be really excited in class when he was a kid yeah and the teachers were like always trying to get him

39:25to settle down so his grandmother stroke a deal with his teacher that every Friday at the end of

39:34class he would have five minutes just to do jokes if he could spend the whole week not telling jokes

39:42in the class okay yeah so so I you please I love this story wow we are really friends

39:51because when I was a kid there was no such thing as ADD and all that all this new stuff that they have

39:57now I was just I think I had ADD and HD and but my grandmother broke her to deal with my third grade

40:06teacher and said listen he's an intellect he's very smart but he's crazy at the end of class every

40:13Friday let him tell and so they let me tell jokes but then it kept going every year he would do it and

40:21got more and more until he was in high school and then he would like people would come all the kids

40:25would come to see him put a like a performance together so he's like you since you were 13 he's been

40:34performing his his dharma his like what he was meant to do in this world he's been doing it his whole

40:41life but in blessing us all with his talent

40:56and I would be remissed if I didn't say this and watching Wicked you you took me

41:06you took me there you made it so no no you made it so magical and I just got to say that it was so

44:55Great job guys

44:57Come on.

44:59Hello.

45:00WT's greatest desire for the crowd.

45:04Michelle, Howard, Jamie and we all know.

45:13Oh, yes.

45:14Oh, yes.

45:15Oh, yes.

45:16Oh, yes.

45:17Oh, yes.

45:18Oh, yes.

45:19Oh, I'm the only one who asked for red wines.

45:21Yes.

45:22And then a big pointy skirt.

45:23No, I know.

45:24It's pretty selfish, isn't it?

45:26That song, Last Night's Mascara, is the rarest of things.

45:30It's a single.

45:31I know.

45:32It's a single.

45:33I know.

45:34An actual single.

45:39And 2024, a great year for you.

45:43You had the debut album Vertigo, just still out now,

45:46and a world tour, your first world tour.

45:49Yeah, it's very scary going through.

45:51Yeah.

45:52So what's happening now?

45:53What does 2025 hold?

45:54That's a good question.

45:55I'm not really...

45:56OK.

45:57I've been on the road for, like, a long time, kind of post-Covid.

46:00I think for new artists, suddenly, like, you couldn't have, like,

46:02a tangible audience like this.

46:04So it was almost like as soon as lockdown was over,

46:06I just kind of went on the road for ages.

46:08And I was really fortunate enough to tour with some of my favourite

46:11artists like Coldplay and Dua Lipa and Sabrina Carpenter.

46:14And then now it's all kind of come to a halt and I'm like,

46:16oh, I'm going to write again and, like, I'm going to do this all again.

46:18And I feel like I've got more headspace this time round to go again,

46:22but, like, better.

46:23So, hopefully.

46:24Well, I can only imagine what 2025 holds,

46:26because that is just a great performance.

46:29Thank you so much.

46:30Good luck with it all.

46:31Last item score.

46:32It's GRIP, everybody.

46:36OK.

46:37That is nearly it before we go.

46:39It's just time for a quick visit to the big red chair.

46:42Who do we have?

46:43Hello.

46:44Hello.

46:45Hi, what's your name?

46:46I'm Ellis.

46:47Ellis, lovely.

46:48And where are you from, Ellis?

46:49I'm from Hull, but I live in London now.

46:50OK.

46:51What do you do in London, Ellis?

46:52I'm a customer success manager.

46:53A what?

46:54A customer success manager.

46:55A customer success manager.

46:57Oh, wow.

46:58He manages customers' success.

47:01A lot on the couch tonight for you, Ellis, I tell you now.

47:06Let's not pry, we don't know what that job is.

47:08Off you go with your story, Ellis.

47:10OK, so, when I was 18, I went on a gap year with a friend,

47:13travelled the world, and we were about seven months into the trip

47:16at this point, so we'd completely run out of money.

47:18So, to find somewhere to stay, we had to rely on an app

47:22where, basically, you used to apply to stay with locals

47:25in different cities.

47:26Yeah.

47:27So, we were in Washington DC, had no money,

47:29we tried everyone on the app, and finally, a man named Bobby

47:31got back to us.

47:32And he said, you know, we've got a great place for you to stay,

47:35really good location.

47:36And it sounded perfect, but then he said, just one thing,

47:39I like my guests to experiment with my lifestyle.

47:42So, he said, OK, well, what's your lifestyle?

47:44And he said, oh, I'm a nudist.

47:46So, we said, OK.

47:47So, that left my friend and I with the decision,

47:49we either sleep rough on the streets of Washington DC,

47:52or we get naked with this complete stranger twice our age.

47:55I think we know what he did, yeah.

47:58Fast forward a couple hours, the three of us are bollock naked

48:01in his kitchen, with a beer, getting to know each other.

48:04And that's when his roommate walks in, fully clothed,

48:06to get a drink.

48:07And it turns out Bobby was the only one in the house

48:09who's a nudist, and we were just his naked friends for the night.

48:11That's a good story.

48:12It's a good block, guys.

48:13It's a good block.

48:14It's a good block.

48:15It's a good block.

48:16Woo-hoo!

48:17It's gonna be here.

48:18Yeah.

48:19I was thinking something really dark and awful is gonna happen

48:21in this story, no?

48:22But it was fun.

48:23Well, I've actually stayed at your apartment in New York,

48:25so I can understand why you were in this city.

48:28Oh, you found those things.

48:30OK, that really is all I've got time for.

48:34If you'd like to have a go in the red chair and tell your story,

48:37you can contact us via my website at this very address.
