00:00Congratulations on this film. You're not new to doing any action, but was there anything in this that challenged you in a new way in terms of action or stunt work?
00:08Oh, yeah. Running for a moving train is something I haven't done before, and that was very real.
00:13And I love how Guy just sort of told me how it was going to go, and he said,
00:15you're just going to run and jump on that train as it's moving, and I went, yeah.
00:18And he just assumed I was going to do it, and so that made me just do it.
00:22Amazing. And also this centers on a sibling dynamic.
00:25Speaking of, Stanley Tucci is in this. What's the best part about working with your brother-in-law?
00:29I didn't even get to work with him. He was in scenes that I wasn't in.
00:31I didn't even know he was in the movie until Guy Ritchie said, yeah, yeah, Stanley's going to be in tomorrow.
00:36And I went, for what? And he went, this movie. And I went, what?
00:38Yeah, so that just goes to show you they're in love, and they cut me out of it.
00:42Very quickly, what's your version of a fountain of youth? What's the thing that keeps you young and alive?
00:46Oh, man. I mean, being around kids helps a whole lot.
00:49I mean, I think that the fountain of youth is really their energy and their outlook and the way they look at the world.
00:54So I just, I'm happy to be in their world.
