00:00How are you gearing up for Glicked Weekend? Are you preparing for a double feature?

00:03Glick, glick, what?

00:05It's like because Gladiator and Wicked are coming out the same weekend.

00:08Of course, of course.

00:10It's like Barbenheimer from last week.

00:11I know. You know what? I'm just lucky to be a part of it.

00:15I gotta say, I feel like you tend to gravitate towards these Gladiator warrior roles.

00:20What is it about it?

00:23You know, it's funny, I guess because I've done so many, I get called back all the time.

00:27But to be honest with you, with this, it was Ridley Scott, Ridley Scott, Ridley Scott.

00:33I mean, if he calls, I'm going.

00:35Absolutely. How do you describe working with him?

00:38Is there anything that surprised you about the experience?

00:40Yeah, I mean, it was absolute joy.

00:42He's funny, but he's also like so hardworking.

00:47I haven't had the experience of anybody directing 11 cameras at the same time.

00:52And he does it with ease.

00:54He's a phenomenon.

00:55Yeah, and he's already talking about Gladiator 3.

00:57How do you feel about the possibility of this kind of expanding into a massive franchise?

01:01If there's anyone who can pull it off, it's Ridley Scott.

01:05He's always thinking.

01:07What are you most thankful or what are you most entertained by at the moment?

01:13I don't know. Being here.

01:16This is pretty cool. I mean, they did turn the theater into a coliseum.

01:19You know, it's pretty cool.

01:25All right.

01:33If you find this, he's a bit of a magic on it.

01:37Yeah.

01:37I think this, it's a little bit of a magic on it.

01:39And the actual magic is a bit of a magic on it.

01:41It sounds like it's pretty cool.

01:41You know, it's very good.

01:42You don't know.

01:43I'll be seeing this before.

01:43I think it should be true.

01:44그런데 there's a message here.

01:44China is a thing.

01:45That's a way in mind.

01:47Is that right?

01:47Why are you most lighter?

01:48This machine is a tree.

01:49I should feel like.

01:50And it's in nothing else.

01:51I should be Megane.

01:51That's beautiful.
