00:05We had to cast some
00:07ridiculous pop star
00:09to play a ridiculous
00:11pop star and who should pop into my mind
00:14but Chris Martin
00:16which is 100% true
00:17a film based on me and he wanted Chris Martin
00:20to play the musical role.
00:21It's just the physique isn't it?
00:23Chris has just got the physique
00:25I went round for dinner and he said
00:27Chris Martin can't do it, do you think Harry Styles
00:29would do it and I'm just kind of looking at him being like
00:31I promise you that's like a fantasy
00:32You definitely said that and I was like Richard
00:34I was teasing you by that boy
00:36It's based in Suffolk
00:38about a boy that was playing
00:40Halesworth gig in the park and stuff
00:42and there's a musician in it who's from Suffolk
00:44Well the guy from The Darkness
00:51One of the great things about what Himesh is doing
00:53is you sort of see the songs through
00:55his performance, don't you? They're allowed to speak
00:57It's not like some guy saying
00:59I'm going to wrangle this into a
01:02new kind of act
01:03into a new kind of music
01:04This is all about me
01:06It's all about the sort of
01:08prettiness and simple beauty of the tunes
01:12Yeah, I just think he does
01:13a great job of it and
01:16the whole
01:17film fills
01:18There was a moment where he did the Long and Winding Roads
01:21where we were doing a songwriting competition
01:23and the first time he did it I remember
01:26getting proper, proper
01:27goosebumps, hair standing up, being like
01:29this is going to be a really special film
01:31and that's largely down to Danny's directing
01:33and not Richard's screenwriting
01:36Yeah, I know that
01:41I didn't really know what to expect
01:44from Danny
01:45because he's such a successful
01:47director
01:48who's done
01:50all sorts of shapes and sizes as films
01:52and I'm not, I mean
01:54bar the odd cameo in
01:56Home and Away and Game of Thrones
01:59I mean it really was odd
02:02I liked it
02:03but bar them
02:05I haven't really acted ever
02:06so I didn't know walking into this situation
02:09whether I would get sort of berated
02:11by a very top director
02:13but he has such a way of talking to people
02:15and he's always
02:17so friendly about everything
02:18even if I've done something wrong
02:20he'll say that I've done it wrong
02:22in such a friendly way and make you feel
02:25good about yourself
02:26which I think is a very rare talent
02:28in someone in his position
