02:51That's just...
02:52It's so funny.
02:53It is.
02:54Yeah, whenever you want.
02:56Yeah, no, it is the sort of thing.
02:58If you wear that at a party by the end of the night,
03:00everyone's just clinging.
03:01Yep, that's the point.
03:02Gorgeous.
03:03So, welcome back to everybody.
03:04Yeah.
03:05Yeah.
03:06And Hugh and Kate, obviously you know each other,
03:07you've worked together, we're about to talk about the movie.
03:09Yeah.
03:10But Ben and Kate, you've known each other for a long time.
03:12Like...
03:13Yes.
03:14Like a lot.
03:1525, 30.
03:16Yeah.
03:1730 years.
03:18Oh, my goodness.
03:19Yeah.
03:20You guys were dating for how long?
03:29Oh, Graham.
03:30Uh...
03:31Let's draw a showbiz veil.
03:33Uh...
03:34By the way, my daughter and I bond over two things.
03:37Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.
03:39Love it.
03:40And musical theatre.
03:41And one of our favourite shows is Les Mis.
03:43And we both bond over how much we love you...
03:46Yes.
03:47...in Les Mis and how incredible you were as Valjean.
03:49Yes.
03:50And that's one of the things we do together.
03:51Should we sing, like, the confrontation, you know?
03:53Well, I was just saying, how many of my daughter watch Severance?
03:56Right, right, right.
03:57Right.
03:58Really?
03:59Said they are, man.
04:00Thanks.
04:01Wow!
04:02Because people may not know that you, of course,
04:05are the man behind, uh, Severance.
04:08Yeah.
04:09This year got a record-breaking 27 Emmy nominations.
04:12Wow.
04:13I mean, that's amazing.
04:14It's so good.
04:15It's so insanely good.
04:16I agree.
04:17Don't you direct every single episode?
04:20I don't.
04:21I don't.
04:22I directed about half the episodes last season.
04:24Oh, wow.
04:25And now you're not going to direct any more.
04:26Is that right?
04:27Um, that...
04:28You...
04:29Do your research.
04:30Uh, I...
04:31No.
04:32Not next season, but I'm still producing a part of it.
04:34Yes.
04:35Oh, okay.
04:36And the next season is being written or...?
04:37Yes.
04:38Yes.
04:39So it's not shot yet?
04:40You're asking all the tough questions.
04:41Okay.
04:42Yes, we are in process.
04:43Are we in it?
04:44Is this it?
04:45We're in it.
04:46We're being negotiated right now.
04:48And, uh, someone who took an award away since we last met her,
04:51Divine Joy Randolph, an Oscar winner!
04:54Goddammit, Hans!
04:59No, I felt like you had a proud relative,
05:01because you were on the show talking about the holdovers,
05:02and I love that movie.
05:03Yeah.
05:04So when you won, it was just...
05:05And it is that kind of showbiz dream.
05:08Was it...
05:09Did it feel how you thought it would feel?
05:11Oh, I...
05:12It was so out of body at that point,
05:15and, um, they...
05:16Everyone had said to me, like,
05:18don't write anything down.
05:20I was like, no, I thought that's what everyone does.
05:22They were like, no, just speak from the heart.
05:24And so because of it, I blacked out.
05:27I don't remember anything.
05:30Yeah.
05:31And then, were you very sensible,
05:33and kind of like, yes, I have my Oscar.
05:35I must go to bed now.
05:36Or did you go wild?
05:37No.
05:38Because I had been good that whole time.
05:40Oh.
05:41Mm-hmm.
05:42So you partied all night?
05:43Oh, yeah.
05:44Fun.
05:45Still going.
05:46Another party.
05:47Another party.
05:48Next club.
05:49I'm wearing my hugging dress.
05:50Yeah.
05:51Let's go.
05:52Uh, listen, let's crack on with our first movie tonight.
05:55Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson are together in Song Song Blue.
06:00It'll be in cinemas from New Year's Day.
06:03Before we talk about it, here's a taste of the trailer.
06:07I'm not a songwriter.
06:08I'm not a sex symbol, but I am an entertainer.
06:11I don't want to be a hairdresser.
06:13I want to sing.
06:14I want to dance.
06:15I want to be able to sing.
06:16Look at me.
06:17I made it.
06:18Look at the night.
06:20You're supposed to be a Loretta Lynn.
06:21Oh, oh, Patsy Cline.
06:22My boobs were just a bit bigger.
06:24I could be Dolly.
06:25You're a blonde?
06:27Oh, boy, am I.
06:32You know who you'd be perfect for?
06:34Neil Diamond.
06:38We should call ourselves Lightning and Thunder.
06:41That is not very professional of me,
06:43but I've been wanting to do it for my whole...
06:46You're gonna do a Neil Diamond show?
06:48A Neil Diamond experience.
06:51Lightning and Thunder!
06:54Reaching out.
06:56Sold out shows.
06:57What's a Pearl Jam?
06:58You don't know who Pearl Jam is?
07:00I guess we're opening for Pearl Jam.
07:02Here we go.
07:06Sweet Caroline.
07:09Let's go to the bar.
07:10You're on the bar.
07:11I'm going to try to see you.
07:12It's all good.
07:13It's all good.
07:14It's all good.
07:15It's all good.
07:16It's all good.
07:17It's all good.
07:18It's all good.
07:20I was telling you back there.
07:24I mean, it is so good.
07:26So good.
07:27So good.
07:28So good.
07:29Mike and Claire Sardina.
07:30So good.
07:31Mike and Claire Sardina are this real-life couple.
07:34So, talk to us about them.
07:36Milwaukee, mid-'90s.
07:38Mike was a.k.a. Lightning.
07:40His stage name was Lightning.
07:42His manager... And Claire was Thunder.
07:44That's right. His manager was his dentist,
07:46who put a lightning bolt on his front tooth.
07:49And they were Lightning and Thunder.
07:52And in the mid-'90s, they had this Neil Diamond tribute band.
07:55And there they are. They played in pubs, they played in clubs,
07:58and then they just became the bomb. Huge.
08:00They were huge in Milwaukee.
08:02And they ended up opening up a Pearl Jam and...
08:05So that's sort of the showbiz side, but their story...
08:08Oh. Honestly, I want to be in every cinema...
08:11I'm talking too much. No, no, I'll talk with...
08:13No, no, you, I'm... I'm interrupting.
08:15But also, what I think about is, whatever you think this story,
08:19you know, it's a showbiz story, it goes to places you can't imagine.
08:23And I promise you, when you watch it,
08:25part of you is going to say,
08:26all right, Hollywood, take it down a notch.
08:28Like, come on. It's already a good story.
08:30You didn't have to lay it on.
08:31Everything is true.
08:32And Kate, you ended...
08:34You met Claire, the real Claire, in the end,
08:37but you didn't meet her initially.
08:38No, no. No, initially...
08:40I mean, we had...
08:41We had such a great resource with the documentary,
08:43so I think Craig really wanted me to...
08:47This is the director.
08:48The director, Craig Brewer, writer-director,
08:50did an amazing job on this.
08:52And he kind of wanted me not to get too involved with Claire
08:58so that I wouldn't be torn away from my instincts
09:01of the story he wrote, you know.
09:02But once we started, she came on set,
09:05and it was amazing, and wild, actually, to have her there,
09:10and, like, for us, you know, to have the same hair,
09:12and stare at the older Claire, you know.
09:16And how difficult...
09:17Because you were doing such a specific thing, you.
09:19You know, you're playing a real person
09:22who's then impersonating...
09:23Right.
09:24...a real person.
09:25Right.
09:26Like, which end do you start from?
09:28Yeah, it was confusing.
09:29Yeah.
09:30But I obviously have to start with me,
09:32and because I have a life where I perform as well,
09:35I kind of had to lose me to become Mike
09:37and then Mike to become Neil, and it was awesome.
09:40And, luckily, the first thing we did
09:42was get in the recording studio.
09:43So we did everything live and we recorded everything.
09:46Nice.
09:47But that's really where we found our voices, I think,
09:50individually and together.
09:51And connection.
09:52Yeah.
09:53And it was like a nice sort of icebreaker
09:55because the story is such an intense love story.
09:58And I remember saying to Hugh,
10:00like, this movie won't work if we don't work.
10:02And we have to find that, like, really...
10:06They were so in love, Mike and Claire.
10:09And so starting with music for us
10:11was a great way to kind of break the ice.
10:13And the chemistry between the two of you is great.
10:15There's just a little clip,
10:16and it's a very sweet little clip
10:18that just shows that love and that chemistry.
10:21Hey, Claire.
10:25I can't thank Neil,
10:26because every thank you I got belongs to you, doll.
10:32You're my August night,
10:33and you're my September morning,
10:34and you're my heartlight,
10:35and you're my crackling Rosie.
10:36You got me?
10:37I'll stand on stage.
10:54Oh, oh, I can't wait.
10:56Oh, I can't wait.
10:57You know what's going on.
10:58I might cry again.
10:59I might cry again.
11:00I haven't seen the movie, I'm already crying.
11:03My parents were a mess.
11:06It was, like, really...
11:08Like, I think everybody who's...
11:09You know, because even when you know someone so well,
11:11like, we were a mess when we saw the movie the first time,
11:14and that's really rare.
11:15But what's nice is they're kind of gorgeous tears.
11:18It's not a depress...
11:19In no way is it depressing.
11:20No, it's uplifting.
11:21For you, you're welling up as well.
11:22Right.
11:23I'm seeing us kissing it.
11:27We had...
11:28There was a lot of kissing.
11:29So much kissing.
11:30It was my favourite...
11:31My favourite moment.
11:32We were kissing one night.
11:33We had a kissing scene, ended in a kiss.
11:35I proposed.
11:37And, uh, it started to snow.
11:39And it was, like, midnight,
11:40and it was freezing.
11:41It was so beautiful.
11:42You know when it's really cold
11:43and your nose can't stop running?
11:45Yeah.
11:46It's not a good thing.
11:47The scene was, like, two minutes long,
11:48so my make-up artists would go,
11:49oh, Hugh, wow, okay.
11:51Clean me up.
11:52But by the time it came to the kiss, just...
11:54Oh, it was...
11:55And so...
11:56It ruined everything.
11:58It's really not good for your confidence
12:00when you see this look on your co-star's face.
12:05And that's on her co-star.
12:06I'm going in.
12:08Does your nose run when you cry?
12:11A little bit?
12:12Yes.
12:13And in the cold?
12:14Yes.
12:15Oh, guys, it was...
12:16Listen, I'm a professional.
12:19Am I right?
12:20I read you in an interview,
12:21and you were talking about your connection to Claire,
12:23that that idea that you don't choose to perform,
12:25like, these guys had to perform.
12:28You have to do it, yeah.
12:29And there's...
12:30I think Hugh and I both relate to that very much so,
12:32where it's, like, it's just in you.
12:34And when you're born with music in you,
12:36it has to come out.
12:37You don't know what else to do, you know?
12:40And if you're not doing that,
12:41there's something really missing in your life.
12:43Oh, cool.
12:44And that is Claire and Mike.
12:46And it was them, their whole life,
12:48their whole, you know, relationship.
12:50I think they fell in love because they saw that in each other,
12:53too, you know?
12:54Yeah.
12:55Um...
12:56But you guys, you're...
12:57The people are born with music in them,
12:59and they can't do it.
13:01Like me.
13:02Oh!
13:03Yeah, there's so many people.
13:04Like, no, but you guys are both, like, so unique.
13:06We were talking backstage about how, like,
13:08you know, he can go on Broadway for, like, a year
13:10and do Music Man.
13:11Like, there's so few people who can do both, you know?
13:13Who can act and sing and dance and do all that
13:16and, like, uniquely suited to this kind of movie.
13:19But, Ben, drumming was your first love.
13:21Drumming was my first love, but I...
13:23Oh, wow.
13:24Yes.
13:25Yeah, but no, it was...
13:26We've got a picture of you drumming.
13:27How old are you here?
13:28This is...
13:29Oh!
13:30That's my bar mitzvah.
13:31Ben, that's your bar mitzvah?
13:32You're like Jack White.
13:33Yeah.
13:34But I did not have the music in me enough
13:38to make it come out and sound good.
13:40But you did...
13:41Because last time you were here,
13:42you told us about your band.
13:43Yes.
13:44Yeah, yeah.
13:45We're currently in a band?
13:46I have...
13:47No, in high school, I had a band called Capital Punishment.
13:51Very nice.
13:52Yes.
13:53And we recorded one album.
13:54And you did an album.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Was it...
13:57I think we got a...
13:58Was it called Roadkill?
13:59It was called Roadkill.
14:00There it is.
14:01But now, here's the weird thing.
14:02Which one of you?
14:03The guy down, the Che Guevara guy at the bottom.
14:05This is...
14:06The bottom right.
14:07Super dark.
14:08What was the vibe?
14:09The vibe was sort of like a post-punk kind of alt-rock, you know, Brian Eno, David Bowie
14:16inspired.
14:17Wow.
14:18What year was this?
14:19This was 19...
14:20It's already got a 19 in front of me.
14:2380...
14:24No, no, no, no.
14:25Yeah, 82?
14:26Wow.
14:27I have to hear this out.
14:28Oh, my God.
14:29Well, now, here's the thing.
14:30Here's the thing, Kate.
14:31You can.
14:32Because this...
14:33No, we're not going to play it, but...
14:36Now I feel bad.
14:37Now I feel bad.
14:38Like, we should be playing it.
14:39No, please.
14:40But, so, you were talking about this in interviews, or it came up.
14:43Yeah.
14:44And then what happened?
14:45Um, well, I was...
14:46I mean, somebody released our album.
14:48Are you talking about that?
14:49Yeah.
14:50Like, years later, they found it, and an independent label released Roadkill.
14:54What?
14:55Yeah.
14:56And then we got together and started playing together again.
14:57Roadkill.
14:58And I just played with the guys, like, yeah.
15:00Here you all are.
15:01Here's Capital Punishment.
15:02Here's Capital Punishment now.
15:03Awesome.
15:04Yeah, that's a few years ago.
15:05What?
15:06Yeah, we did a few gigs, and we just rehearsed the other day, actually.
15:09Oh, God.
15:10But the problem is, Peter, on the left, is a judge.
15:13He's, like, a chief...
15:16He's a judge in Arizona.
15:17And then Peter, on the other guy, the redhead Peter, he's a professor of Eastern European literature.
15:23He lives in Prague.
15:24Okay.
15:25And then Chris, my friend who's screaming back, he lives in Brooklyn, and he's close by.
15:29Okay.
15:30So we're never, like, in the same place together, yeah.
15:32And then, in terms of music, Divine Joy Roundup, you are a trained opera singer.
15:36Yeah.
15:39You are.
15:40I am.
15:41I know, I get nervous about that.
15:42I don't know why.
15:43But it's true.
15:44It is true.
15:45That's not a lie.
15:46Yeah.
15:47So what, you started in a choir, then opera?
15:49Yeah.
15:50And I, and then there was this, like, new girl that came to our school and was like,
15:54I went to Interlochen.
15:56And I was like, I went home and I was like, yo, Mom, I'm going to Interlochen.
16:00I don't know what it is, but I don't know how she's talking.
16:03It's a little too cocky for me.
16:05And so, literally, I didn't know what Interlochen was, what it was about.
16:08Got to the camp.
16:09It was, like, this big international performing arts school that's, like, in the woods.
16:12Switzerland?
16:13No, no, no.
16:14It's in Traverse City, which is, like, two hours outside of Detroit.
16:17But it's an international performing arts school.
16:19I get there and they were like, so you're in the opera program?
16:22And I was like, what?
16:23But I absolutely fell in love with it.
16:27And I was hooked.
16:28And I was saying to you backstage, when are we going to hear you sing in a movie?
16:31I know.
16:32And I'm so jealous now, because hearing about theirs, and I got a chance to work with Craig
16:36Brewer on Dolomite, so I know how he's so good with music.
16:40I need to make it happen.
16:41It's going to happen.
16:42I do.
16:43I need to make it happen.
16:44Yeah, keep talking about it and it'll happen.
16:45Like him.
16:46He brought up an interview and the whole band got back together.
16:48He could get Craig Brewer to direct the Capital Punishment movie.
16:51Yes!
16:52I can play it myself.
16:55Talking of music, Song Song Blue, obviously it's not about Neil Diamond, but his music
17:00is like a character.
17:01I mean, it's so...
17:02There's 13 of his songs in it.
17:04Wow.
17:05And Neil knew the story of Mike and Claire really well.
17:08And so he just gave his rights to his music for the movie.
17:11And you both spent time with him, right?
17:13Yeah.
17:14You did first.
17:15Yeah, I grew up in Colorado and he lives like 10 minutes from where I grew up.
17:22And had never met him.
17:24And he'd seen the movie and I was like, can I go see him?
17:28And they invited me over and we had Lemonade on the Porch.
17:31Oh!
17:32There you are!
17:33There you are making Lemonade on the Porch.
17:34It was so emotional because he's retired, he's not singing anymore, he's really like,
17:39you know, living a very quiet life.
17:41Yeah.
17:42He loves his movie so much and he was so grateful, which I was not expecting.
17:46And emotional about the movie.
17:48And then we just had just like this lovely porch moment.
17:52Yeah.
17:53What's that song?
17:54I am myself.
17:55So good.
17:56Yeah.
17:57Oh, it's in there.
17:58And no one had not even a chair.
18:03Oh, very good.
18:04I'm going to do a duet thing.
18:05Yeah.
18:10So, Kate went round and had Lemonade on the Porch.
18:12Yeah.
18:13You, Jackman, you sort of imposed yourself on the Diamond family.
18:16Yeah.
18:18Well, he rang me.
18:19Oh, did he?
18:20He rang me after seeing the movie with his wife, Katie, and he was crying.
18:23Wow.
18:24And he was, he was so moved by it.
18:25He loved it.
18:26Oh.
18:27And he just loved the story of Mike and Claire.
18:29And so I took the opportunity.
18:31I said, ah, guys, I'd love to come round and have a cuppa or something.
18:35And they were like, and Neil's like, okay, yeah, all right.
18:40And then I didn't hear from Neil anymore.
18:42And Katie obviously takes her phone and goes, you know, we're in Colorado.
18:45I went, okay, yeah, no, I'd still like to come for a cuppa.
18:49And she was like, you, so I guess you want to stay the night?
18:51And I'm like, that'd be great.
18:52And she's like, okay, so we went there and their son, Jesse, was there.
18:58And Neil came out and he came up to me and he grabbed me and he goes,
19:01you did good, kid.
19:02Oh.
19:03Oh.
19:04But he was emotional about it.
19:05And so I stayed the night and at dinnertime, Neil Diamond,
19:10Neil Diamond goes, want to do some karaoke?
19:13I'm like, hell yeah.
19:16We did karaoke.
19:18Oh.
19:19And he's, yes.
19:20Oh.
19:21And the first song that Neil sang, yeah, at one point he put his arm
19:24and he kissed me on the forehead and he sang, I dreamed a dream.
19:27No.
19:28And I said, why do you sing I dreamed a dream?
19:30And he goes, that's such a pretty tune.
19:32And he sang it so beautifully.
19:33A pretty tune.
19:34And then we sang, can't help falling in love with you.
19:37And then we sang, sweet Caroline.
19:39Of course she did.
19:40Yeah.
19:41And a funny fact about the Diamond household.
19:43It's the best.
19:44This is a true story.
19:45Anyone who says so good in the Diamond household, two other people have to say so good, so good.
19:50So good, so good.
19:51It took me a second to work it out.
19:53It happened to me too.
19:54Like, I'm sitting there and I go, oh God, it was so good.
19:56And then you hear someone go, so good, so good.
19:58And you're like, and then finally I was like, do you guys say that?
20:01And she's like, oh yeah, every time someone says so good.
20:03Yeah.
20:04It's so good.
20:05So good.
20:06Oh.
20:07Play that game at home, you're going to realise how often you say it.
20:09It's real quick.
20:12It's just a gorgeous film.
20:14A reminder that Hugh and Kate will be making beautiful music together in Songs on Blue from New Year's Day.
20:20And take it from me, it's so good.
20:22So good.
20:24Very good.
20:25Good.
20:26Very good.
20:27So, everyone can go to the Diamond household.
20:29Yeah.
20:30You're all in.
20:31But, right now, you can see Ben Stiller in a very personal documentary film, Stiller and Mira, Nothing is Lost.
20:38It's out now on Apple TV+.
20:41So Ben, this is a tribute to your parents, and Mira and Jerry Stiller, and very famous in America.
20:48I think probably less, well, certainly the double act, less well-known here.
20:51Yes.
20:52Yeah.
20:53I think my dad became most well-known for doing Seinfeld and being on Seinfeld and King of Queens.
20:57But, yeah, they had a whole career before that.
20:59My parents were a comedy team.
21:01They were on the Ed Sullivan Show about 36 times in the 60s.
21:04Wow.
21:05Yeah.
21:06And, you know, their whole act was sort of based on their relationship.
21:10And we grew up around that and them, you know, kind of creating together.
21:14And so the documentary is about, yeah, about growing up in a show business family and kind of, and then it sort of became about our whole family.
21:23Because originally I wanted to make something when my dad passed away just about my parents and their career and their relationship.
21:30But I didn't really know what it would be.
21:32And that was in 2020 I started working on it.
21:34And COVID was happening and, you know, it was just kind of a time where, you know, we couldn't do a memorial for my dad or anything like that.
21:44And I had all this footage that my dad had saved because he'd saved Super 8 footage and home movies and video cassettes and scripts.
21:52And we were going through the apartment.
21:54So the movies, my sister and I going through the apartment.
21:56That bit is so relatable.
21:58Anyone who's lost a parent.
21:59Yeah.
22:00You and Amy are going to the apartment to clear it out.
22:03And when you say clear it out, there's stuff.
22:05I mean, he kept everything.
22:07He saved everything.
22:08Yeah.
22:09He saved like an old scuba mask from when I was like eight years old or like our YMCA, you know, form to like, you know, to apply for the family day.
22:17Things like that.
22:18Just, and so, but you know how it just gets very, you know, you get deep into that stuff when you start going into it and you kind of go into another time.
22:24It takes forever to get rid of it.
22:25Yeah.
22:26So, so making the movie was a strange process because I'd be delving into all this stuff.
22:30And then I was trying to figure out what is the movie really about?
22:32We've got a clip.
22:33This is your parents at work.
22:35And then it kind of cuts to you and your sister Amy talking about.
22:40Yeah.
22:41When we're going through the apartment, going through all the stuff.
22:43Some of the blurred lines.
22:44Yes.
22:45Yeah.
22:46The heat of your heart, hate.
22:47You know, I say to Anne, I hate you.
22:49And she says, you hate me.
22:50I hate you.
22:51And one day, Amy, who's six, came into the room and she heard us saying this to each other.
22:55And we looked at her for a moment and we didn't know what to say.
22:58So we said, uh, Amy, mommy, daddy, rehearse.
23:01Right.
23:02Mommy, daddy, rehearse.
23:03And Amy looked at us and she started to smile.
23:05Well, about two weeks later, we were fighting.
23:08And Amy walked in and she said, mommy, daddy rehearse.
23:11No, mommy, daddy, fight.
23:13Get out of here.
23:14It gets to be a little complicated sometimes.
23:16I hated you before I met you.
23:17I hated you before you were born.
23:19To me, that's like one of the things that I think about is just how that became sort
23:24of like, yeah, that's the laugh.
23:25That's the funny joke.
23:26But what is the reality of that story though?
23:29We don't know, Ben.
23:31That's why we're so messed up.
23:33That's why we're doing this documentary.
23:35That's why we're going to figure it out.
23:37And in the documentary, I mean, it does become kind of meta where, you know, what are some
23:48of the pitfalls of parenting that you see yourself fall into while you're making this?
23:54I think it's that thing when you're, you know, when you're younger, I, you know, having kids
23:59who want to, who are actors and my son's in college, my daughter's a working actor.
24:04You know, I see myself in them in terms of how I was with my parents.
24:09Because when I was young, I didn't want my parents' help.
24:12I didn't, I kind of, you know, wanted to do my own thing.
24:14I wasn't even, I didn't even care what they were doing.
24:16And, but also I was, I had like issues with them, you know, cause they were working all
24:20the time and they were busy and, you know, the stuff that comes up as you get older too
24:24and you look back and, but then when you have kids, it just makes you look at your parents
24:28in such a different way.
24:29And of course I, so I decided to interview my kids for the, for the movie.
24:33And of course they have all the same issues that I had, but probably even worse.
24:38And I realized, you know, that that's the thing.
24:40Like you try to not make those mistakes, but then you can't help it.
24:43It's just, you know, it's part of just, you know, being a parent.
24:46This is all hitting very close to home.
24:48Yeah.
24:49When you grew up with very famous, you know, Goldie Hall and Kurt Russell,
24:52do they kind of try to protect you from the show business bit or were you kind of in it?
24:56You know, it's funny when you're in it, you don't see it like showbiz.
24:59You see it like a really creative, artistic story point.
25:03And also it's your life. You don't know any difference.
25:05Yeah. And also like, they're not like, you know, I mean, it was just their job.
25:10And, you know, it's so interesting to hear this because it is, it's, it's, it's a story.
25:16It's like, you know, my, my son, same as Ella, they're both actors and it is a DNA thing.
25:22There's something in it.
25:23There's something in the artist kind of, you know, DNA that is an interesting thing to uncover.
25:31Like, what is it? Is it, is it nurture or is it nature?
25:34And, and they've, it's interesting. You didn't have show business parents.
25:37But your parents, they went to such lengths to make sure you succeeded.
25:41No one that we have traced in our genealogical past has artistic gifts.
25:48I genuinely do not know where this came from.
25:53I don't.
25:54But it was cool because my parents were just kind of like, my parents taught me at a young age, like, these are your gifts.
26:01That was something that I knew that was very different from other kids.
26:04That like, it would almost be like a whisper.
26:06Like, well, you know what I mean?
26:07Like, let's say, I don't know.
26:08We're out and about shopping or whatever.
26:10And maybe I would just like, goof off and be humming.
26:13And my mom would be like, that's, that's real.
26:16That's a real gift that you have.
26:19And I was like, oh, okay.
26:21So I was made aware of it at a young age.
26:23And so when I switched gears and got into acting, and when I had gotten to Yale, my father was very happy.
26:30Because of the Ivy League portion of the equation.
26:33And got all the lanyards and all the things.
26:36And I was like, you know, it's for acting though, right?
26:38He's like, no, no, no, no, no, no.
26:41You went to Yale.
26:42And I never forget, at my graduation, Scorsese spoke, was like the keynote speaker.
26:48And my dad was like, talk to him, you need to get a job.
26:50And I was like, please, stop that.
26:54But yeah, it's, but they've been so supportive.
26:57And I, I can't even imagine what that would be like.
27:00And as I was like, growing into my artistry, I kind of always wanted that.
27:04Although I was so grateful to what my parents did.
27:06But because I was kind of like, on my own.
27:08And, and figuring this out.
27:11But I just think that is so unique.
27:14It's amazing they supported you like that.
27:16Yeah.
27:17Well, talking of supportive fathers, Hugh Jackman, your dad did something so sweet.
27:21Do you know what I'm talking about?
27:22I do know what you're doing.
27:23But my dad was always supportive.
27:25We went growing up always to the theatre, every show.
27:28My standing, my gift every year for my birthday was a subscription to the Sydney Theatre Company
27:34so that I could go.
27:35He bought the cheapest one possible.
27:36So I had to go Wednesday matinee and skip class just so I could do it.
27:41But dad made sure I saw everything.
27:43And I remember once in my career, dad saw everything I did.
27:46It was always just so effusive when he came back.
27:49Even the stuff that he had no interest in.
27:51And I could tell he didn't like it.
27:53But he'd be like, wonderful work, Hugh.
27:55Wonderful.
27:56And one time I was offered to do Carousel at Carnegie Hall.
28:00And I just, I told dad, I'm doing this thing.
28:02He goes, I'm coming.
28:04Because for my dad, Carousel, that's his jam.
28:07So my dad never missed a day of work in his life.
28:09He worked at Pricewaterhouse his entire working life.
28:12And he took three days off to come to New York to see me in Carousel.
28:18Now when I say three days, that's a 24 hour flight from Sydney to New York.
28:22He was in New York for less than 24 hours.
28:24And then a 24 hour flight back straight to the office.
28:27And so he was on his way over.
28:29And my dad, itineraries, accountant, classic accountant.
28:33What's the dress code?
28:34What time is it?
28:35And I said, it's black tie, dad.
28:37It's Carnegie Hall.
28:38Well, on the day of, I found out it wasn't black tie.
28:41It was business casual.
28:43And I pictured my dad just arriving with like whatever he's wearing on the plane.
28:47With the black tie.
28:49So I rang him.
28:50He was, he was, he just got to the hotel.
28:52I'm rehearsing.
28:53We're on in like eight hours.
28:55I said, Dan, I'm so sorry.
28:56It's not.
28:57He goes, don't worry.
28:58I'll get it sorted.
28:59Everything's okay.
29:00And I said, fine.
29:01He said, but do me a favor, Hugh.
29:02I would love to come and pick you up at your hotel room and walk you to the stage door before the performance.
29:08Stop.
29:09And I said, sure.
29:10And my dad never asked for stuff like that.
29:12And so I said, sure.
29:13I said, well, meet me at six.
29:14The show's at eight.
29:15I'm going to walk over, get there about 6.15.
29:17And so six o'clock on the dot.
29:19There's a knock on the door.
29:20Open it up.
29:21And there's my father standing in full black tie.
29:24And I'm like, no, no, no, no.
29:26Dad, I'm so serious.
29:28Only the choir are wearing black tie.
29:30No one else.
29:31And he looked me straight in the eye and he said, Hugh, my son is singing at Carnegie Hall.
29:36It is black tie for me.
29:37Oh.
29:38That's beautiful.
29:39APPLAUSE
29:45Yeah.
29:46Not a dry eye.
29:47Not a dry eye.
29:48Oh, my God.
29:49Someone's got to cry tonight.
29:50Someone's got to cry.
29:51Here's the thing.
29:52I couldn't believe in the documentary bit.
29:54Yeah.
29:55So your parents are performers, but they were not shy about kind of bringing you and your
30:01sister in front of the cameras.
30:02Right.
30:03Well, yeah, when we were little, I mean, they would go on the Mike Douglas show, which was
30:06like a daily show and they would bring us out, you know, for like a funny little bit
30:11or something like that.
30:12We thought it was so much fun because we got to be on TV.
30:14But it wasn't.
30:15So some of the times you just came on as cute, small people.
30:18Look, our adorable children.
30:20But then there's a bit where they make you, not why they made you, but you perform.
30:24Well, they were co-hosting the show.
30:26So they do five shows and they'd be sitting on the couch with him.
30:29I see.
30:30And so I think one day they were like trying to think of things to do that would be fun.
30:33And they go, oh, well, our kids take violin lessons.
30:35Why don't we have them come out and play?
30:37Well, we have the clip.
30:39No.
30:40What is happening?
30:41This is the clip from the documentary.
30:44This is the clip from the documentary.
30:45Yeah, check out the level of talent.
30:47So here we go.
30:48So this is Ben and his sister Amy on the show.
30:51Oh, my gosh.
30:53And now, like...
30:54Oh, my God.
30:55Well, let's listen to you a little bit.
30:57Look at your belt.
30:58Here we go.
30:59Now, were you normally better than this?
31:03No.
31:04No.
31:05This is as good as it got.
31:06I love your mother.
31:07Your mother is kind of embarrassed, I think.
31:09Yes.
31:14Your dad.
31:15Your dad is just laughing at you.
31:18No, he thinks we're doing great.
31:20Oh, okay.
31:21He truly thought we were amazing.
31:23I love that.
31:28That is so funny.
31:30My mother there is realising, oh, there's going to be years of therapy.
31:35Beautiful.
31:36You can see Ben's tribute to his parents, Stiller and Mera.
31:38Nothing is Lost on Apple TV right now.
31:41Yeah.
31:45Meanwhile, Divine Joy Randolph brings us Eternity.
31:49It's in cinemas from the 5th of December.
31:52And so this is...
31:54There aren't many of them, but they're a couple.
31:56It's an afterlife rom-com.
31:58Mm-hmm.
31:59Okay.
32:00And so who do you play?
32:01What's going on?
32:02Tell us what you can.
32:03So I play an AC, which is an afterlife coordinator.
32:07So it's like a social worker of purgatory, basically.
32:12And the whole concept is like, when people leave Earth,
32:16they come to this place that's called the Junction,
32:18and we basically, my role is that, as an AC,
32:23is that I help you decide where you would like to spend eternity,
32:28and there's all these different worlds of options.
32:31Like, Beach World and, like, Germany in the 30s,
32:36before the Nazis.
32:37Like, no Nazis.
32:38You know what I mean?
32:39And so...
32:40That's a real thing.
32:41I go for Beach World.
32:42Yeah.
32:43Yeah.
32:44And so...
32:47In our movie, basically, Elizabeth Olsen and Miles Teller
32:53play an old couple.
32:55He dies by choking on a pretzel.
32:57Mm-hmm.
32:58That's a sad, sad, sad way to go.
33:02And he dies first.
33:04Then she dies.
33:05And he's waiting for her.
33:07And then when she dies, she's asked the same question.
33:11And then Callum Turner appears and is like,
33:15I am your long-lost first love who went to war,
33:20died in the war, and he's waited 67 years for her.
33:24Ooh.
33:25And so he comes and is like, babe, it's me.
33:27And so she has a real dilemma.
33:30So her choice, well, her thing then is whom she is going
33:34to spend eternity with.
33:36And then shenanigans ensue.
33:37Both.
33:38Hot.
33:39Duh.
33:40Both hot.
33:41Big both.
33:42Big both.
33:43But, yeah, it's really cute and it's all this back and forth
33:46and she's trying to figure it out.
33:48And so my character helps Miles' character try to win the girl.
33:53Well, that's what we've got.
33:54We've got a clip of you as Anna with Miles' telecharacter
33:56Larry discussing his options.
33:58Mm-hmm.
33:59He looks like Montgomery Cliff.
34:01Woo!
34:02Oh, my gosh.
34:03I was saying this just the other day.
34:04Montgomery Cliff.
34:05He is so handsome.
34:07Luke is so handsome.
34:08You're not helping.
34:09I'm sorry, but it is what it is.
34:12Luke is hot.
34:13His eyes are bluer than the ocean.
34:15He has a better narrative.
34:16No, he doesn't.
34:17I have a better narrative.
34:18I was married to her for 65 years and I gave her children.
34:22Exactly.
34:23We go with that.
34:24That's strong.
34:25There's nothing more powerful than emotional blackmail.
34:26Right?
34:27Good on you.
34:28I don't know if you know this.
34:34I heard Elizabeth Olsen talking about this movie and weirdly she said she...
34:40Do you know this?
34:41I heard this too.
34:42I don't know Elizabeth Olsen but I heard her on a talk show talking about the movie saying
34:46that she modeled her character, this older lady, on my mother.
34:50I believe it.
34:51Yeah.
34:52That sounds amazing.
34:53She watched tapes of your parents working together.
34:55That blew my mind.
34:56Yeah, the other night I just heard her saying that.
34:57I believe it.
34:58Yeah.
34:59I love your father's physical comedy so much and so when I get a chance to be physical,
35:04just the way that he was so free in his body, it's something like normally directors
35:09have to be like, tone it down, tone it down.
35:10Because I would literally throw myself across the room if I could do it.
35:14I just loved how much he just was so in his body and all his faculties.
35:19Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:20A lot of film actors, you know, physicality in movies is not really talked about that much,
35:25you know, because it's all like close up, you know, but that's such...
35:28No, I love it.
35:29But also there's a tone to the comedy in it, that kind of tug of love.
35:31Yup.
35:32That does kind of, it feeds into that thing.
35:35I love that.
35:36I can't wait to see it.
35:37It's called Eternity and it's out on the 5th of December.
35:40But we should say people can still enjoy you on the small screen.
35:44Murders, only murders in the building.
35:46Oh, yes.
35:47Only murders in the building.
35:49Look at those two nut jobs.
35:52Aw.
35:53We've just finished Season 5 here.
35:56Now, Season 6 is happening.
35:57It is.
35:58Now, I hear a rumour.
35:59It's not a rumour anymore, but it might be for you guys.
36:01Go ahead, say it.
36:02It's going to be filmed here.
36:03It is going to be filmed here.
36:04It is going to be filmed here.
36:05Wow.
36:06How is that happening?
36:07When I tell you, I literally don't know.
36:08Okay.
36:09I don't know how we...
36:10But the only thing I think of is like, we were in New York, then we had a season in
36:14LA.
36:15Now we're going to London.
36:17So I genuinely, I'm not even like, I'm not going to tell you.
36:21I don't know how we are going to London, but I'm very excited.
36:25But the New York cop is coming to London.
36:27I sure hope so.
36:28Like, you know, you pitched your thing in the interview.
36:31Where's the camera?
36:32John Hoffman.
36:33I would love to be in this next season of Only Murders in the Building.
36:36London.
36:40Because wouldn't it be so cool if she, like, had scenes with, like, the guards, right?
36:45Oh, yes.
36:46And she's trying to, like, make them break and stuff.
36:48Yes.
36:49Like, right?
36:50I can see it.
36:51Or, like, she wants to go in training to be one of those because, you know, she's so
36:52tough.
36:53Yeah.
36:54You join the Met.
36:55It'll be good.
36:56Yeah.
36:57I love it.
36:58And it's been a while.
36:59The Fockers are back.
37:00Yes.
37:01They're coming back.
37:02Yes.
37:03It's called Focker-in-law?
37:06Focker-in-law.
37:07Rolls off the tongue.
37:11I love it.
37:12And is everyone back?
37:13Owen Wilson's back.
37:14Robert De Niro's back.
37:16And Terry Polo's back.
37:18And Blythe Thanner's back.
37:20And the prospective Focker-in-law is Ariana Grande.
37:25Oh, wow.
37:27And when will Focker-in-law be in the world?
37:30We have this holiday in the States called Thanksgiving.
37:33You know, right?
37:34We've heard of it.
37:35It's from now.
37:36So a year from now it's going to be out.
37:38Oh.
37:39We just finished shooting.
37:40We literally just finished shooting it.
37:41Oh, okay.
37:42Yeah.
37:43So next Thanksgiving.
37:44Yes, but we had a great time.
37:45She's incredible.
37:46Ariana's like, what an amazing child.
37:48You'd worked with her before though, hadn't you?
37:49She was in Zoolander 2.
37:51We had an orgy scene.
37:53Oh.
37:54And there was a hippo and Ariana and myself and Owen
38:00and a few other random people.
38:02And that was when we worked together back in the day.
38:04Beautiful.
38:05And Hugh, last year, such enormous success with your movie
38:09Deadpool and Wolverine.
38:11I think it was the second biggest movie of the year.
38:13No, for sure.
38:14Yeah.
38:15So every time you're on, you've got to go, well, I won't be
38:20doing that again.
38:22But then you keep making another one and it's a big, big hit.
38:25Yeah.
38:26So are you going to have to do it again?
38:27Maybe.
38:28Ooh.
38:29Maybe.
38:30I'm not saying, I am never saying never ever again.
38:34Yeah, yeah, yeah.
38:35Because I didn't mean it when I said never until the day when
38:38I changed my mind.
38:39But I really did for quite a few years I meant it.
38:42Do you think you've got to the point now where they could like
38:44AI the body or something?
38:45A hundred percent.
38:46Yeah.
38:47I think I've done ten films.
38:48I know.
38:49Yeah.
38:50So I think they've got enough in there.
38:51Oh, yes.
38:52Good point.
38:53In fact, I've done your show five or six times.
38:54I don't know why you're here.
38:55I could be out there in the dressing room.
38:56I don't know why you're here.
38:57The show is funnier.
38:58I'm going to take the fruit bowl.
38:59I'm out.
39:00Yeah.
39:01Yeah.
39:02Right, it is time for music.
39:04This Grammy-nominated artist shot to fame with his first
39:07single, Caroline, in 2023.
39:09Here performing 12 to 12 from his current album, I Barely Know Her.
39:13It is Somber!
39:14It's the UK television debut.
39:15I don't want anyone else from the hours of 12 to 12.
39:20I am not the least compared by anyone but yourself.
39:21Look at me and make me melt.
39:22I am not the least compared by anyone but yourself.
39:27Look at me and make me melt.
39:28I know you want to see me in my life.
39:32I'm dealing with the cars I've built.
39:33Yeah.
39:34While you're dancing with somebody else.
39:35I am not the least compared by anyone but yourself.
39:36Look at me and make me melt.
39:37I know you want to see me in my life.
39:39I'm dealing with the cars I've built.
39:40Yeah.
39:41While you're dancing with somebody else.
39:42Was it always in your plan to leave eventually?
39:43Because to me there's no one else that could make sense for you.
39:44The last and final part of my life.
39:45I am not the least compared by anyone but yourself.
39:46I am not the least compared by anyone but yourself.
39:47I am not the least compared by anyone but yourself.
39:48No.
39:49In the restaurant, I am not the least compared by anyone.
39:51The least compared by people.
40:17In a room for people, I look for you
40:20Would you avoid me, or would you look for me too?
40:25Tell me, is this worth it too?
40:29Oh, do I just look into the world?
40:47I've never felt anything
40:50Like the love from our final days
40:54Why'd you wait?
40:56Just show me you can do it this way
40:59I'll never look at you, look at you the same
41:03We met you in the London Café, I said
41:07Can I sit with you?
41:08Almost has to say my mistake
41:11If I know that we're happy this way
41:14I'd never look at you, look in the first place
41:18Was it always in your country, but eventually
41:22Because to me there's no one else that can make sense
41:25In me, the last and final parts of me
41:30I said one, two, three, let's go
41:33In a room for people, I look for you
41:38Would you avoid me, or would you look for me too?
41:42Tell me, is this worth it too?
41:46Oh, do I just look into the world?
41:50Maybe I'm delusional
41:53And the way you act is usual
41:57Maybe in another world
42:01I don't feel so I've never felt
42:05In a room for people, I look for you
42:10Would you avoid me, or would you look for me too?
42:28Tell me, is this worth it too?
42:32Oh, do I just look into the world?
42:36In a room for people, I look for you
42:40Would you avoid me, or would you see me too?
42:44Tell me, is this worth it too?
42:48Oh, do I just look into the world?
42:51Oh, yeah!
42:57Sumber everybody, and this band
43:05Come on over, sir, do!
43:07Thank you so much for that person, it was terrific
43:10Thank you for having me, thank you
43:11It's terrific, thank you for having me, thank you.
43:13Come on up!
43:14That's mine!
43:15And thank you!
43:17That is summer, everybody!
43:20Oh, you guys are amazing!
43:22Oh!
43:23That was so fun, man.
43:24Oh, thank you.
43:25I have to say, you know, we've been doing the show for a while.
43:27We've had lots of musical performances.
43:28I've never seen that mic stand before.
43:30Well, it's because it's the first of its kind.
43:33Oh!
43:34So fun.
43:35What do you call it?
43:36Does it have a name?
43:37Giant Ball Sack.
43:38Ah!
43:39Perfect.
43:40How many times does that giant ball sack hit you in the face?
43:43I was going to say that.
43:44No problem.
43:49The stem of the giant ball sack is what hits you in the face.
43:54You brought it up.
43:56So, thank you very much for that performance.
43:58That is off your current album, I Barely Know Her.
44:02There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
44:05And...
44:07I'm so happy for you, because straight out of the gate, a Grammy nomination.
44:12Amazing!
44:13Thank you!
44:14Yeah!
44:15Thank you so much.
44:16And what I think is really nice about the Grammys is they announce the nominations, and
44:20then the Grammys aren't for ages.
44:22Yeah.
44:23Like, you get to be a nominee for so long, it's lovely.
44:25It's lovely.
44:26I'm just enjoying it while it lasts, and time's ticking.
44:28No, no, no.
44:29And, you know, you're young, but you have been doing music since you were very young.
44:33Yeah.
44:34And am I right?
44:35You were about 17, and you were like, actually, I'm not going to bother.
44:37I'm going to pack this in.
44:38Well, yeah.
44:39I was in high school, and I was just, um, kind of figuring out what I wanted to do with
44:45my life.
44:46I hated school.
44:47It was not for me.
44:49And, so, I kind of, I made this one song, and it was like, my last hope kind of thing,
44:55which is kind of funny, because I was literally, like, 16 years old.
44:58So, it definitely wasn't, but I felt that way, because I was just a little dumbass,
45:03but whatever.
45:04Um, I posted it on the internet one day.
45:07Um, I wrote it and produced it in my room, and then I went to bed expecting to get bullied
45:11at school the next day, but I woke up, and it was viral overnight, and then I had every
45:16record label in my inbox, and I didn't know what to do, um, so I got signed, and I was
45:21able to drop out of school, and my mom was really upset about that, but...
45:25Now I'm on Graham Norton, so...
45:26Yeah!
45:27Yeah!
45:32Who are your musical heroes?
45:34My musical heroes, um...
45:37Ah, man.
45:38Radiohead is my favorite band.
45:41I love Jeff Buckley.
45:43You're putting me on the spot.
45:45I love The Strokes, Velvet Underground.
45:46Capital Punishment.
45:47Who?
45:48Capital Bar.
45:49Capital Punishment.
45:50I love, um...
45:51Capital Punishment.
45:52There you go!
45:53And then The Beatles.
45:54Yeah!
45:55The stage presence.
45:58Where in the world did that come from?
46:00Because you're young, but when he was moving, I was like, who is this old soul?
46:05That's why you probably asked about who his muses are, because the way he's moving and taking
46:10over the space, I was like, where do you get that from?
46:13I learned it all on stage.
46:14I used to be really stiff, but when I walked out to, like, my first bigger headline show...
46:19Yeah.
46:20...of, like, fans that were all there for me, something just unlocked in me.
46:24Wow.
46:25And, I don't know, like, I just tried stuff on stage.
46:28It's very cool.
46:29I don't think it's that good, but thank you.
46:30It's good.
46:31It's good.
46:32It's good.
46:33It's good.
46:34Well, thank you very much for that great performance.
46:35We all really enjoyed it.
46:36And, uh, good luck with the album and at the Grammys.
46:39Sombra, everybody!
46:40Right.
46:41That is nearly it.
46:42No, no, you stay there, Sombra.
46:43You're going nowhere.
46:44You've arrived now.
46:45OK.
46:46You're going nowhere.
46:47It's just time for a quick visit to the big red chair.
46:51Who's there?
46:52Hello.
46:53Hi.
46:54Hi.
46:55What's your name?
46:56Luke.
46:57Luke.
46:58Lovely.
46:59And where are you from, Luke?
47:00Belfast.
47:01Gorgeous.
47:02And do you live there or here?
47:03I live here.
47:04I've lived here for the last year.
47:05OK.
47:06You've really lost the accent.
47:07And, uh...
47:08I just shot a film in Belfast.
47:11Have you?
47:12Yeah, I just shot a film there in February.
47:14Anyway.
47:15He wasn't there.
47:16You've been here for a year.
47:17Belfast is dead to him now.
47:19What do you do here, Luke?
47:21Erm, I'm a management consultant.
47:23OK.
47:24Wow, he's landed on his feet.
47:25Off you go with the story, Luke.
47:27OK, so, three or four years ago I had a rather embarrassing operation
47:31on my bum, my backside, so...
47:34We got bum, yep.
47:35Yeah, so, anyway, I was...
47:37I was in hospital and was getting surgery
47:40and it hadn't been really done on someone my age,
47:43so my surgeon was rather, erm, apprehensive.
47:46But, anyway, after she did it to me, she was...
47:48She basically said that we needed to take before photos
47:50and after photos for the British Medical Journal, so...
47:53Oh!
47:54Anyway.
47:55LAUGHTER
47:56Two weeks go by and I am getting discharged, so, anyway,
48:05I have to go get my after photos.
48:07So, erm, the person can see I'm very, very nervous.
48:10The photographer, it was quite an old woman, and next thing she said,
48:13like, don't worry, son, I've seen it all, I've seen it all.
48:15So...
48:16I've...
48:17I relaxed, turned around, pulled down my trousers,
48:19pulled down my pants, bent over,
48:21and next thing all I hear is a gasp and, holy shit!
48:24I just look, bright red-faced, it's like I've seen it all now, son.
48:27LAUGHTER
48:29And that was it.
48:30LAUGHTER
48:31I mean, I do love that story.
48:33LAUGHTER
48:34Do you mind, do you want to walk or do you want to be flipped?
48:37Yeah, flip me.
48:38Yeah!
48:39LAUGHTER
48:40APPLAUSE
48:42I think there was a lot missing in that story.
48:44Come on.
48:45Yeah.
48:47I didn't want to cry, but what on earth was the operation?
48:50What was the operation, and why did they need before and after face?
48:53For the medical journal.
48:55LAUGHTER
48:56Like, it's been published.
48:57It sounds very dodgy.
48:58Very dodgy.
48:59It's a published...
49:00It's a published...
49:01Google it, kids.
49:03LAUGHTER
49:04And, OK, that really is all we've got time for.
