00:00So tell me Ewan, good to see you after all these years, I know you too, yeah when they asked
00:07me to do this I was actually very excited because we've never sat down like this in how long is
00:13it since we made Moulin Rouge? 17 years or 18 years depending, we started it in 99 and we finished
00:19it in 2000, yes, Moulin Rouge, Moulin Rouge, but hey, did you realize what we were making when we were
00:25making it?
00:26I did, I think I did, yeah, I've always been, I don't think you do work unless you think it's
00:32going to be great, you know, I've never approached anything thinking well this might be a bit crap, but I
00:37know I think I, I think because Baz had just done Romeo and Juliet, hadn't he, was that the film
00:42he made before ours?
00:45And you know, just the way we, the way we put it together, you know, I remember we went out
00:50and we did a two week workshop, like six months before we started shooting.
00:54I remember being in a dance studio with you and having to do all those different dances, like salsa and
01:00tango, yeah, and they're not, we didn't, we didn't end up doing any, we didn't do hardly any dancing at
01:06all, no, but we were in that workshop dancing for weeks on end, yeah, and I mean the discipline of
01:14that, and then the singing, I just remember you having this exquisite voice and me going, I am never going
01:19to be able to hit these notes,
01:20No, and I was sort of being, get in the room, practice Nicole, come on, and you would sort of
01:25come in and, no, that's not true, yes, it's true, no, we were all in the same boat there, you
01:30were so much better than me, it's so true, and I was like, oh, it was that, that house, what
01:37was it called, his villa, Baz had that house that we did all the work in, yeah, and we would
01:42do acting rehearsals in one room,
01:43Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Mario Estevez had his studio in another room, oh, oh, oh, oh, wardrobe was
01:47upstairs, it was like being in, and gorgeous food, and good food, yeah, we'd have great, great food, that's true,
01:52very important, and then we'd have great parties, yeah, remember those Friday nights or Saturday nights, not all of them,
01:57no, I don't remember all of them, yes, but yes, exactly, but no, it wasn't, anyway, we had some pretty
02:04wild nights, I remember Absinthe being passed out, that's right, at one point, me going, is this safe, yeah, I
02:10was so sort of, well, and then going,
02:14I suppose it is
02:15No, it was an amazing experience
02:18And then workshopping it
02:20I mean, so then we did that two week block
02:22And then we all went away
02:23And then we came back
02:23And then we worked for
02:25It felt like three months before we shot
02:27Was it that long?
02:28It was that long
02:28We were literally
02:30I mean, we gave about a year of our life
02:32To that film, didn't we?
02:33That's right
02:33But hey, I'm so glad
02:35Yeah, me too
02:35I remember shooting the elephant scenes
02:38Because it was so funny and silly
02:40And you know all that stuff
02:43The poetry
02:44You were wrapped up in the blanket
02:46Yes, yes
02:47It was so funny
02:48That's right
02:48And that just came out of sort of
02:50It wasn't really in the script that
02:52It wasn't really in the script that
02:52But then everything was a bit like that
02:54Wasn't it?
02:54Like all those workshops we did
02:56We'd work on a scene
02:57And then a week later we'd come back
02:59And the work that we'd done on it
03:00As actors
03:01Would have been incorporated in the writing
03:03That never happens
03:04That's very rare
03:05I thought that was astonishing
03:07It was just gorgeous
03:07Yeah
03:08And it's such a great thing to share
03:10I always say this
03:11It's when you get to share
03:13Something like that together
03:14It's yours forever
03:15It's something we all created together
03:18And it bonds you in a very particular way
03:20Doesn't it?
03:21No, very true
03:22Yeah
03:23It's nice to see you
03:24Yeah
03:25You're welcome
03:27You're welcome
03:40You're welcome
03:42Grazie a tutti
