00:00It took 25 takes because I couldn't not look in the camera, so I would do like, I would go,

00:07line, line, line, and then I'd go.

00:14Had any of you spent any time in the American West?

00:18I just, we went to my first like proper rodeo out there and that was kind of incredible because

00:24I don't know, it's like an idea of a rodeo, it has existed in my brain and in my life,

00:29through culture and all these things, but to actually be sat in the seats and like watching

00:34these little tiny kids come out like strapped to sheep and just getting like totally tossed

00:42into the dirt, what is it called?

00:44Mutton racing?

00:45Mutton busted.

00:46Mutton busted.

00:48And they were getting busted, those little kids.

00:50The girl, the little girl who won got picked up and they gave her a mic, remember?

00:54And she, and they were like, would you like to do this again?

00:56And she was like, no.

00:58She's honest.

01:00So that was actually really incredible.

01:02It's like, you can tell that it's such a part of the communal experience in those places

01:08and it was really special to kind of witness.

01:12What was really meaningful to me about having like these folks join me out there was, and

01:19it was, it was kind of accidental but became very profound, was that like, the story is

01:24about kind of unlikely communities and families that are thrown together in, in odd ways,

01:32but like share something very beautiful.

01:35And that accidentally like really was what happened there.

01:40And that's what movies can be, is all sorts of odd parts thrown together that create like

01:47something sort of whole.

01:49So it was like a real pleasure to feel like I was sharing my home with people who were

01:54like, who found a way to love it, I think, the way I do.

01:58Oh yeah.

01:59Lily, what are Josh and Megan like as movie parents?

02:03Um, they're lots of fun.

02:09In between scenes, me and Josh made up a secret handshake.

02:14We would sit and chat.

02:17They were always supportive and making sure that I was comfortable with the scene, making

02:24sure I knew my lines, making sure that everyone was ready, but constantly checking in to check

02:34if I was ready.

02:36And yeah, they were just really good.

02:40Thanks, though.

02:42Did you ever have to check if they knew their lines?

02:44Never.

02:47Yep.

02:48I think it was more the other way around.

02:50What's everyone's memory of their first ever red carpet?

02:55It's a whole blur.

02:56A lot of, you know, reminders right before I go out there kind of a thing.

03:00But it was fun, but odd.

03:02I get that at the same time, you know, getting yelled at by everybody.

03:05And look here, look here.

03:07There's a lot of instructions.

03:08And I remember not, you know, the smile and not to look scared.

03:11And I don't know, it was cool, I guess.

03:14I think it's something that people assume they know what it's like, but you really can't

03:18explain it until you're actually there.

03:20And I feel like every event, every red carpet is different, for sure.

03:24But all in the same, because you're still getting yelled at by all the photographers.

03:28To tweak the question slightly for you guys, because you use a lot of first time actors.

03:32If anyone has any strong memories from their first ever acting job?

03:36Magnus, who made your first job?

03:38Uh, the first set I was on was Gossip Girl.

03:45Very cool.

03:45I had like two scenes and I broke the shoes that I was wearing.

03:50Was that in the suit?

03:52Is that scripted?

03:53No, I was just, I was wearing heels and I was really nervous.

03:56I was so nervous.

03:58And I was sort of rocking back on them.

04:00Like, I wasn't even on camera when it was happening.

04:02I was just like waiting for something to happen.

04:04And it just, good job.

04:06Um, and I just remember they were saying a bunch of words that meant nothing to me.

04:11And at one point they were like turning around and I was like,

04:16you know, like I just, it was gibberish to me.

04:18It was so uncomfortable.

04:19Like I kind of hated it.

04:22But everybody was really nice to me though.

04:24So that was a highlight, I guess.

04:27Uh, my first on a set was awful.

04:32I did a television show, which was like a very, um, it was like a detective.

04:38We have loads of these detective dramas in the UK,

04:41often set in like remote villages in England,

04:45where seemingly everyone gets murdered all the time.

04:48There's like a new investigation every week.

04:50And I was in one of those episodic episodes and I had one line.

04:54And I just had to say the line, kiss the girl on the cheek.

05:00And then that was my job.

05:02That's all I had to do.

05:03But I could, it took 25 takes because I couldn't not look in the camera.

05:10So I would do like, I would go line, line, line.

05:12And then I go, and they'd be like, cut.

05:16You could just look anywhere else.

05:18And I'd be like, yeah, no worries.

05:20And I go line, line, line.

05:21And then I go, and look straight down again.

05:25I just couldn't help it.

05:26It was like this magnet.

05:28It took years to overcome that.

05:32So anyway, so I wasn't a great experience.

05:34But they were, like you guys, they were really understanding of me.

05:38Yeah.

05:38And it has happy ending.

05:40You made it.

05:42Yeah.

05:42I still do it to this day.

05:43Right, Max?

05:44Yeah, you had to edit out all the double takes to the camera.

05:48Yeah.

05:49I didn't know how far back that went.

05:57Yeah.

05:58Yeah.

05:59Yeah.

06:00Yeah.

06:01Yeah.
