00:00hello sir thank you so much for your time I appreciate you thank you very

00:04much I was very excited to see what you might be wearing tonight because the

00:06last time I think you're on a red carpet in London it was at the London

00:09Film Festival and your Hylian leather top made headlines so once again you are very

00:16smartly dressed did you appreciate the reaction you got from your London Film Festival look now?

00:20yeah I mean it was it was a fun night and it was a night of leather and I thought

00:34I'd go in a different direction tonight it's a little softer a little silky

00:39tonight that's that's the mood I was in I love the way that it's been described

00:47in marketing as kind of like teasing information the best description being a

00:51Dom pop and that's a wonderful phrase how did what does that mean to those who

00:55might not be aware of what Hylian means as a Dom? well it's a sub Dom BDSM story but

01:06packaged in a in a romantic comedy format so it's it's it's it's quite specific to

01:16this subculture but with some universal components to it and aim and that people

01:22might recognize from from rom-com so that's how it became a dom-com yeah

01:28the subject matter of the film is so unique and then like mainstream cinema mainstream films don't really have this as a topic

01:34was it an education for you coming in were you excited to like meet these people that are involved in the world and

01:40like break down some boundaries yeah very much so and we were incredibly lucky to

01:46have GBMCC the gay biker motorcycle club not all their members but a few of them in

01:54the movie and a couple of guys from the London King scene so that was very it was

02:01instrumental in shaping the world and giving it authenticity and they were an

02:07integral part of it from the genesis of it from when Harry was first starting

02:10writing the screenplay he met up with them and made sure that like to get their

02:15input and then obviously throughout shooting it it was tremendously helpful

02:19for us and kind of giving it some authenticity and again unique subject matter and

02:28think different potentially risky things he's showing on screen obviously as well

02:33were there any big swings or or brave decisions you feel you made and with your co-star on set as

02:38well that you're glad that you did you're like you're happy with the results of those big decisions

02:44I didn't feel brave at all to be honest with you because it was it was such a such a fantastic script and I

02:52believed in Harry or both Harry's but Harry Leighton who wrote and directed it so much even though it's his first feature

03:00um I had just instilled so much confidence in me and uh it didn't feel scary or risky at all I was just like

03:09incredibly exhilarated to to be part of it and to get to tell this story so I honestly like had no moments on set where I was like

03:17what are we doing what's going on here it could be even if you know a big orgy scene or whatever it was it's just like

03:23they all every moment every scene of that movie of the screenplay was so exciting to me and such a key

03:31component to telling the story so I loved every second of it congratulations on the film and on your

03:37nominations tonight as well thank you so much for your time oh thank you very much appreciate it thank you have fun
