00:00Oh, actually, I do have quite a big one.

00:02What was the hair color?

00:04What were they wearing?

00:04Who are they next to?

00:05There's a great show in the UK called Midsummer Murders.

00:09Yeah, it's great.

00:10Like, what a champ.

00:11I mean, unbelievable.

00:12Unbelievable.

00:13Okay, now go back to what you did.

00:14Thank you for taking us to church with this one.

00:16Tell me...

00:16You're welcome.

00:17Yeah, yeah.

00:18Yeah, you should.

00:19You should take credit.

00:20Tell me, though, what's it like seeing the Benoit Blanc effect up close?

00:25Oh, the first day was really funny.

00:27I mean, I would say the first day, like, it's very fun.

00:29It was very fun for me.

00:30I don't know about Daniel.

00:31I thoroughly enjoyed watching, like, getting back into it and figuring it out.

00:35It was very silly and good.

00:36Yeah, it's very...

00:38It's funny when you've seen a film and you know a character really well,

00:43to then be in the room with them is quite alarming.

00:46But it's as funny and magical and outrageous as it is on screen in real life.

00:52We do see a lot of confessions in the film.

00:56I don't expect you to give me any confessions in quite the way that Josh's character gives yours.

01:02But what a twist.

01:03What a twist.

01:04What a twist.

01:05What a twist.

01:06But have you got any confessions from set?

01:09Like, if we were to do a confessional now, like, anything you stole, anything like you...

01:12Oh, that's so good.

01:13And I didn't steal anything.

01:14Oh, actually, I do have quite a big one.

01:17Oh.

01:19Right.

01:20Jeremy Renner.

01:22One of the funniest men on the planet.

01:26Is this about his chair?

01:28It's about everything.

01:30Oh, okay.

01:31He, so as it's very publicly known, he had an incredible recovery from his accident.

01:38And this was his first film back, I think.

01:41And, like, what a champ.

01:43I mean, unbelievable.

01:44Unbelievable.

01:44Okay, now go back to what you did.

01:45So, part of his recovery was that we, and we were often in this tent hanging out as a cast in between takes.

01:52He had a very specific chair.

01:54An ergonomic chair.

01:55An ergonomic chair.

01:56He also had a very specific water bottle, which had charcoal in it.

02:00Water bottle, very specific snacks.

02:02Oh, it's like, it's Jeremy's stuff.

02:04Correct.

02:04In this one chair.

02:06Jeremy's.

02:06Because he went, he nearly died.

02:08Okay.

02:08The rest of us also had places to sit.

02:11Okay, so we all...

02:12Perfectly good places.

02:12Perfectly great places.

02:13And perfectly good snacks.

02:15Very good snacks.

02:16Little old me, who didn't have a near-death experience.

02:19There was one night, we were on a night shoot, and he'd gone down into this forest to shoot a little thing.

02:24And I got in his ergonomic chair, and I snuggled him, and I had a little ten-minute nap.

02:32To make matters worse, no guilt, I then took one of his snacks and had it.

02:38I'm so happy that you said that.

02:39Can I just say, I'm opening up to you guys, I did tell Jeremy.

02:43So Jeremy does know.

02:44Did he give you five Hail Marys?

02:46Yeah.

02:47I love that you confessed to it.

02:49Whenever Jeremy wasn't on set, like if he wasn't shooting that day,

02:52and his chair was in our tent, or whatever you want to call it.

02:56Yeah.

02:57He was in that chair.

02:58There was a fright as to who gets an ergonomic chair, because it's such a comfortable chair.

03:02It's so comfortable.

03:02I mean, everybody wanted this chair.

03:04Yeah.

03:04It's okay, Josh.

03:05Like, you were basically the star as well.

03:08You've got to take those moments when you can.

03:10Yes, thank you.

03:10When you can.

03:10It's cool, yeah.

03:11And listen, how good are you at working out mysteries and things like this?

03:17Because I was really stumped.

03:18I won't lie through this whole thing.

03:20I was like, I thought it's this person, and then I thought it's this person.

03:23I was like, I can't.

03:24I'm not good.

03:24Are you, when you watch something, you're like, oh, I've got this sorted from day dot.

03:29Yeah.

03:29I mean, not in this one, it's an impossible mystery.

03:32So you really are not supposed to be able to solve it.

03:36But every time I watch anything, I try to solve it.

03:37Yeah, if it's like one of those shows or movies where, like, they show you a dead person in

03:41the beginning, and then they go, like, six months ago, instantly.

03:43I'm like, what was the hair color?

03:45What were they wearing?

03:45Who are they next to?

03:47All the time.

03:48There's a, yes.

03:50There's a great show in the UK called Midsummer Murders.

03:53Yeah, it's great.

03:54Yeah.

03:54And it used to be on every Sunday, didn't it?

03:56Yeah, I think it was Sunday.

03:57And it's about this very small village where, apparently, someone dies every week.

04:02Oh.

04:03Not a documentary.

04:04No.

04:04Okay.

04:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.

04:05No, that would be insane.

04:07But I used to watch that on Sundays, and I, and the whole game was, who did it?

04:13Yeah.

04:14And you get in early and choose your person, and you've got to stick with them.

04:17Yeah.

04:18I, it was a long time ago now, but I don't think I ever got it right.

04:23No.

04:23Ever.

04:24So, you're not alone.

04:26Good.

04:26I'm glad.

04:27I mean, good company.

04:28I don't feel like a dum-dum.

04:30No.

04:30No way.

04:31That's great.

04:32Good job with this one, though.

04:34It was really enjoyable.

04:36Thank you so much, guys.

04:36No worries.
