00:00A job you'd be terrible at.
00:01Kissing.
00:03Hi, I'm Charlie Clive.
00:04I'm Phil Dunster, and this is Inquiring Minds with Esquire.
00:09You can go first.
00:10I'll go first.
00:11Yeah.
00:11Okay.
00:12What's the last fad you participated in?
00:15Oh my God.
00:16Hated rivalry is the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of
00:19when I go to sleep.
00:20Would you choose Elliot or Shane?
00:22Poor dude, that's crazy.
00:24And that's the cruelest question you could possibly ask.
00:27I think if I was going to the cottage with one of them, it would be...
00:31Or Kip or Scott.
00:33It's got to be Scott for me.
00:34Elliot, too intimidating.
00:37Shane, too reserved.
00:39Scott, just right.
00:40That's my Goldilocks.
00:42He's the Goldilocks.
00:43And Kip's just not.
00:44Oh my God, I love Kip.
00:45Kip's there to kind of like make us smoothies.
00:47But he doesn't say the night.
00:49You kick him out.
00:50Bye-bye.
00:51Like, we're all good friends, but he sleeps on the couch.
00:55What's your favourite line from Ted Lasso?
00:57I really enjoyed saying poo-pah.
01:04Yeah, James.
01:05Surrounded by poo-pah.
01:07But really, my favourite line of the whole thing is when Nick, Mohammed's character, Nate, they sort of reference him.
01:13They look down the line at him and he's just kicking some dog poo off of the pitch.
01:18And he goes, someone's like that dog do a poo here.
01:20Someone's been walking the dog here.
01:21Found another poo.
01:24I don't know why, but that cracked me up.
01:28I think he's the funniest.
01:29Nick, Mohammed is the funniest man.
01:30He's just like, he has no ball skills at all, no football skills at all.
01:35So he's there like, kicking off like this.
01:35He's a joyful, joyful person.
01:38Which actor would you drop everything to work with?
01:41Actually, right now, it would be Kirsten Dunst.
01:44Really?
01:45Yeah.
01:45I think she's completely remarkable.
01:46I think if you look at her career, it's kind of no skips for me.
01:50Really?
01:51She's made such cool choices.
01:52She can do the full spectrum of human emotion.
01:56I just enjoy her performances so much.
01:58And I think if she's in a film, I'm like, oh, it's probably going to be really good.
02:00And I think she's a real safe pair of hands.
02:02What is your biggest pet peeve in life?
02:04The thing that's really getting my goat at the minute is when people misuse the 10 out of 10 system.
02:12Oh, elaborate.
02:13They have a meal and that was like, that's 10 out of 10.
02:16That was amazing.
02:17That's the perfect meal.
02:19What's the pain threshold of that?
02:21I'd say I'm about a nine at the minute.
02:22One more and that's it.
02:23Right, so one more and then it's sort of...
02:25Then you're going to die.
02:26You die in agony.
02:27You're going to become dust.
02:29Here's the thing.
02:30I think that we need to reclaim the term satisfactory because it is just that.
02:34It's good.
02:35It's fine.
02:36It'll do.
02:36That's so English.
02:38If someone was like, time spent with me was 6 out of 10, I'd be like, great.
02:44Good.
02:45Fine.
02:46Can I be honest?
02:47Time spent with you, 7 out of 10.
02:51What surprised you most about working with Steve Carell?
02:55I was surprised that he was exactly who I sort of dreamed him to be.
02:59Yeah.
02:59One of the first conversations I had with him, he was like, do you like ice hockey?
03:04I've got tickets.
03:05You should go.
03:05He's a great guy and he loves to give his hockey tickets away.
03:08Yeah, he does.
03:09Who's been the best co-star to go on a press tour with?
03:12Probably going to be Charlie Clive.
03:13I'd agree.
03:14And the card says, elaborate on that.
03:16Okay.
03:18Any room that she walks into, she will see where the hot dog related paraphernalia is.
03:23There's a hot dog in every room in the world.
03:25And if you can't find it, I can.
03:26When did this start with hot dogs?
03:28When we were filming, I bought a blanket for my trailer and it happened to have some hot dogs on
03:35it.
03:35Happened to.
03:36As if it wasn't a plan.
03:37And then people started to notice I had this hot dog blanket and I think they thought,
03:41this sweet little English girl loves hot dogs.
03:43Yeah.
03:44And so people kept buying me hot dog things for my trailer.
03:47And by the end of the shoot, after four months, it was sort of a museum to hot dog memorabilia.
03:53And since then, I find them wherever I go.
03:56They're sort of, for me, they're the good omen.
03:57If I see a hot dog, I'm safe.
03:59You likened it to that guy on Lost who didn't see numbers.
04:02Yeah, with the numbers.
04:03Fingers crossed.
04:04Uh-oh, I don't have the same fate.
04:08What's something you're shamelessly competitive about?
04:11This is mortifying to admit.
04:13Escape rooms.
04:16If someone's like, oh, I have this idea.
04:18I'm like, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
04:19Oh, okay.
04:20I have to kind of team lead an escape room.
04:22Stay in your lane.
04:23So, bit of fun.
04:25What's one film or TV show you wish you starred in?
04:28Every TV show I've ever auditioned for that I didn't get.
04:31Ooh, yeah.
04:33I hold deep resentment.
04:35God, I feel you on that.
04:36The amount of shows I can't watch because I'm so jealous.
04:40Besides Rooster, what's your favourite Bill Lawrence show?
04:43Watch Scrubs every day after school.
04:44Two, right.
04:45Two episodes of Scrubs, two episodes of Simpsons, two episodes of Friends.
04:48That explains it largely.
04:49Doesn't it?
04:50Yeah.
04:50But actually, I'll say my most re-watched show,
04:53Cougar Town.
04:54Is it really?
04:55It is.
04:56It's Cougar Town.
04:56What's the secret sauce with it?
04:58Courtney Cox, Busy Phillips.
04:59And it's women drinking wine and hysterically trying to avoid men.
05:03It's really funny the lengths they will go to to avoid conversations with men.
05:07So, Scrubs was in there, Cougar Town was there,
05:09and Ted Lasso wasn't in there.
05:11That's good.
05:11Good to know.
05:12You want to hear what I think about Ted Lasso?
05:14I don't.
05:15Ten out of ten.
05:16Name one fashion trend you can't get behind.
05:20I mean, I'm really showing my age here,
05:22but the tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny sunglasses.
05:26Sorry.
05:27Crazy thing about that is, you'd look great in them.
05:31What was the last show that made you laugh out loud?
05:34Or, as they say on the internet, LOL.
05:37LOL.
05:38Somebody Somewhere on HBO.
05:39Oh, yeah?
05:40I'm obsessed with it.
05:41I think it's the most beautiful show.
05:43Every episode makes me laugh out loud.
05:44Every episode makes me cry.
05:46You know when you're on your own and you laugh out loud and you sort of...
05:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:50You go...
05:50And there's an English person and you go, sorry.
05:52Yeah.
05:53What was the hardest scene you had to film in Rooster?
05:56There's a scene that you and I have where Archie's really trying to justify some terrible behaviour.
06:02You know when you feel like your mouth sort of lets you down whilst you're talking
06:06and you were saying a little gobbledygook?
06:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:09That was pretty tough.
06:10It's hard saying words.
06:11Bloody heck.
06:12Pretending to be other people and saying words that are written down.
06:14That's pretty tough.
06:15How was the fight scene with Steve Crouch?
06:18Like a fever dream.
06:19There's a scene in which I'm in my pants, or as you guys would say, underwear.
06:24We wrestle, and he got very, very close to my nether region.
06:28It's real balls-in-face stuff, if that's okay to say on Esquire.
06:32They broke a four-poster bed, and that made it into the...
06:35That did, yeah.
06:35And it's so funny.
06:37Who's the last person to leave you starstruck?
06:41Yesterday, I met Natasha Beddingfield.
06:44Previously to that, meeting Connie Britton was a big one.
06:48I heard her before I saw her, and my whole body sort of froze, and I was like, what do
06:51I do?
06:52You just got good, off-the-cuff chat.
06:54So, yeah, it's Natasha, it's Connie, it's always Steve Carell.
07:00And now it's time for the rapid round.
07:03On the rocks or neat?
07:04On the rocks.
07:04Movie you quote too much?
07:06Grand Budapest Hotel.
07:07Song that gets you on the dance floor?
07:11Dancing in the Moonlight, Top Loader.
07:13The Office, US or UK?
07:15US, every day.
07:16A job you'd be terrible at?
07:17Kissing.
07:19One thing you spend way too much money on?
07:22Clothes.
07:23Comfort TV show?
07:24Parks and Rec.
07:25One note you never want to hear from a director?
07:28You're terrible, get out of here.
07:30One topic you dominate in trivia?
07:32Verbs.
07:33Verbs, wow.
07:34That's it, bro.
07:37I'll pick those up, don't worry.
07:40Sorry about that.
07:42Oh, what a great time we've had.
07:44Guys, thanks for watching.
07:45This has been Esquire.
07:46I've been Phil Dunster.
07:47I've been Charlie Glive.
07:48And you guys should go and watch Rooster.
07:51It's on HBO Max.
07:52Love you.
07:53Love you, bye.
07:53Bye.
07:54Bye.
07:55Bye.
07:57Bye.
07:59Bye.
08:00Bye.
08:03Bye.
08:04Bye.
