00:00Welcome to Hollywood.
00:01Thank you very much.
00:01What an introduction.
00:03It's quite something.
00:04Paul Kidman, Liam Shriver.
00:06Not half bad, my first premiere in LA.
00:09This is your first LA premiere too?
00:11You believe it, yeah.
00:11How's it going?
00:13Well, so far so good.
00:14I mean, can't complain, would you?
00:17No, you should definitely not complain.
00:19I love the drip, sir.
00:20You're really doing the Nantucket chic thing.
00:22I did, I did.
00:23I was just on Cape Cod for a week.
00:26So I know, I lived in Boston for a while.
00:27So I know it, I know it.
00:30What was it like, your first onset with Nicole Kidman?
00:32What did she say to you?
00:35She was very kind and generous.
00:36I think being a producer on the show as well,
00:39and her general involvement, she knew who I was.
00:44And then it was, you know, a work day like any other.
00:46And like...
00:46Like any other.
00:48Yeah, it was all the time.
00:50But to be honest, it was.
00:52Because I think everybody's focus immediately moved to the scene as hers did.
00:57When you're in a position of seniority like that,
00:59you kind of command the set.
01:01And her priorities are straight.
01:03You know, she went straight to the work.
01:05And it was very exciting.
01:06She did do something in a scene that was very unexpected to all of us,
01:10which was very inspiring and a good reminder that,
01:12you know, we're here to stay on our toes at all times
01:15and keep reinterpreting the text and keep upping the bar.
01:19And yeah, I'll keep learning from that.
01:21I think she's incredible.
01:22Tell me about your shower scene.
01:24What do you want to know?
01:25I mean...
01:27How many push-ups did you do?
01:29How long did you train?
01:30How long did you train?
01:32Because it was a shot.
01:33Well, I'll tell you this.
01:34I wasn't specifically asked to train by anybody on the show.
01:38I think it was just like...
01:39As much as you naturally.
01:41Kindness!
01:42Listen, we had a lot of time off in the Cape, all right?
01:45We had a lot of holiday.
01:46Yeah, but there's a lot of lobster rolls and french fries.
01:49And they were all in my tummy while I was in there.
01:51I hate you.
01:52I hate you.
01:53That's what it is.
01:54Did you expect that sort of sex symbol thing?
01:59You're in the pool.
02:00The water's flowing off your body.
02:02Were you like, what are they doing here?
02:03Well, the character was certainly written to be a bit of, you know,
02:09a bit of a draw-in in that sense.
02:11But no, none of us really saw what it looked like.
02:16So until the trailer came out, I really didn't know what to expect.
