00:00¿Qué fue lo que hizo este proyecto?
00:02¿Qué fue lo que hizo este proyecto?
00:05Lo que hizo el proyecto de Mobland?
00:09Bueno, originalmente se llamaba The Donovans.
00:12Se ha muchos iteraciones.
00:14Pero Mobland es.
00:16Y lo que hizo el proyecto de Mobland fue Guy Ritchie.
00:19El trabajo de Guy Ritchie es invigorating, estimulating,
00:23captivating, sexy, bold, humorous
00:26y, finalmente, extremadamente, entertaining.
00:30Y que es lo que quiero, porque es lo que yo hago
00:33como un actor, I hope.
00:35Que fue mi intención.
00:38Pero la writing de Jez...
00:39Bueno, la writing...
00:41Ronan Bennett era el original writer y creator de Guy
00:46y entonces Jez Butterworth came in
00:49y...
00:50Just...
00:52It became this landscape of Jez Butterworth
00:57storytelling and character nuance.
01:02So, that was extremely exhilarating.
01:07Helen and I had worked together last year.
01:09She said to me,
01:10Are you going to do it?
01:11I said, Yes.
01:12I want to come home to London.
01:13I want to work in England.
01:15And she read it.
01:17She said, I'm in.
01:18And then we had Tom Hardy.
01:21Tom came on board.
01:22Paddy Constantine.
01:24So, this wonderful ensemble of actors.
01:27This company of actors.
01:28I mean, it's quite a small group.
01:31And this massive story.
01:34All of those ingredients were just exhilarating
01:36and made me get out of bed for five months
01:39at five o'clock, six o'clock in the morning
01:42and go and work.
01:44So, fantastic actors, fantastic characters.
01:46Tell me a little bit about your character
01:47and where we find him at the beginning of the series.
01:51Conrad Harrington, who I play, is an Irishman.
01:54He's a businessman.
01:55He's a family man.
01:56He's also a gangster.
01:57He's a very kind of rather unsettling, brutish, cunning,
02:03but very charming man who's from the wilds of Kerry.
02:09He's one who has lived by his wits.
02:12He's a man that has seen violence,
02:15has been abused by violence.
02:19You know, he and Maeve grew up close together
02:22out in the country, the wilds of Ireland.
02:24He went to the city, fell in with people
02:29who were dangerous men.
02:32He was a good thief.
02:33He was a good burglar.
02:35He had great courage.
02:36He liked the money.
02:37He liked the women.
02:39He and Maeve had a kid.
02:42He went off and probably had other kids
02:44with other women.
02:46But Maeve held him close
02:48and he holds her close.
02:50So, they're a very, they're a loving couple.
02:57And she, do they trust each other?
03:00Yes and no.
03:02But they love each other?
03:04Yes and no as well.
03:06It's complex.
03:08It's Lady Macbeth.
03:11Lady Macbeth and Mr Macbeth,
03:14the Scottish play.
03:16That's one of the, one of the emblems
03:19you take from it.
03:21I created the character from
03:23a politician fellow in Ireland.
03:28Just the voice.
03:30Because Guy wanted to, you know,
03:34as I've said now, he said,
03:37listen, don't worry about it.
03:38We'll sort it out of the day.
03:4015 minutes.
03:41And, basically, that's what happened.
03:44And when you make,
03:45when you have a director like that
03:46who throws those cards up in the air
03:48and you have to make choices,
03:50if you're worth your salt as an actor
03:51and you have the balls to go out there
03:54and just let it, let it fly,
03:57then that's what you do.
03:59And, you know, you get a fish on.
04:01You've been quite effusive about, about Guy.
04:04What is it you admire about his version
04:05and his vision of London?
04:07I love the glamour of it.
04:11I love the sexiness of it.
04:13It's, you know, Guy is like his own country gentleman.
04:17Guy is like Conrad.
04:19Guy is like so many of the characters
04:20that he portrays.
04:24He seems to have a fascination
04:27and a sensuality about making these characters
04:33so rich and vital
04:36and fun.
04:38The humour,
04:39the dark humour,
04:40the twisted, perverse humour
04:42of characters like this
04:44is wildly entertaining.
04:47And he's a storyteller.
04:51He's a great filmmaker.
04:52He's a very, very fine technician
04:55and a very fine, you know,
04:59he has a sharp eye
05:00and it's a quick eye and ear
05:01for what you do as an actor.
05:05And he moves like the wind.
05:07So you show up and you're ready to go.
05:09You're prepared,
05:10as you should be.
05:11I mean, no one's ever going to direct you.
05:13So you better direct yourself.
05:15Anything you do with anyone,
05:17you better come to the day's work
05:20ready, ready to act
05:24with ideas
05:26and show up on time
05:27the old-fashioned way
05:30and do the job.
05:31And with Guy,
05:32that's, you know,
05:33you're done by four o'clock.
05:34That's what I really like.
05:37Let's be honest here.
05:39Yes, enough of this acting.
05:40Thank you very much.
05:41Did that work?
05:41Yeah, sure.
05:42Of course it did.
05:42All right, great.
05:43Let's move on.
05:44Brilliant.
05:45I know you've got a history with Helen.
05:47You've known Helen for years
05:48and you say you found Conrad quite quickly,
05:52sort of in this 15-minute window.
05:53But how did the two of you
05:54build this long relationship
05:56and form that dynamic
05:58with this married couple
06:00who've obviously got each other's backs
06:02but been through a lot over the years?
06:08I haven't really known Helen
06:10for that well.
06:15Well, last year we made a movie,
06:18Thursday Murder Club.
06:19That was our first time really working together.
06:22I was in a movie with her
06:23called Long Good Friday,
06:26which was my first time in movies.
06:29But we don't really know each other.
06:32We know each other much better now.
06:34There's just a great trust there with her
06:36and I think there's a mutual admiration
06:41and fondness for each other.
06:44I admire her greatly.
06:48And, you know,
06:53we both thought South London, North London
06:59and then on the day
07:01I made them Irish,
07:04Southern Ireland, Kerry
07:06and she was coming to work the next day.
07:09She said,
07:09we're playing Irish now.
07:11I said, yeah, I'm sorry.
07:13I didn't tell you that.
07:15But she's, you know,
07:16she's so nimble on her feet
07:18and she had, you know,
07:20a great Irish accent in her back pockets.
07:22And so the two of us
07:23got the draw on each other.
07:25We know.
07:25And it's on the page.
07:28You can see the wiliness
07:29and feel it on the page.
07:31And it's somewhat operatic
07:34and theatrical
07:36and yet deadly, deadly.
07:42And she's very cunning,
07:45more cunning than Conrad.
07:47But he knows that
07:50and he allows that.
07:52He allows the manipulation.
07:55But that's the knife edge
07:59that you walk with these characters.
08:02Any of them can turn on you
08:04in a bad way
08:07when there's a lot at stake.
08:11As you'd expect with a show like this,
08:13action-packed.
08:14Are there any particular sort of sequences
08:16that stick in your memory
08:19that were the most sort of challenging to shoot?
08:23Because, heavens, it's...
08:25there's so much that comes at you.
08:30You study, you learn, you perform,
08:32you move on.
08:33And you digest it
08:35and then you get rid of it.
08:37Get rid of it.
08:37Get rid of it.
08:38Because you always have to be in the moment,
08:40on the beat, on the show.
08:42Because it's moving so fast.
08:44I suppose the first day.
08:47The first day is an indelible day.
08:51There was a few big scenes
08:52which I had as Conrad
08:55in front of my fellow actors
08:57and I am leading the scene
09:00and it's, you know,
09:01six, seven-page scene.
09:03And so you draw breath at that
09:06and you give performance.
09:09And you're supported by people
09:11and you want to be an unexpected surprise
09:13and you want to get the intentions
09:17of your imagination
09:19and what you've created.
09:22You want to try and get it out there
09:24as poignantly
09:25and as specifically as possible.
09:29No, but we were in the Cotswolds.
09:31Loved going to the Cotswolds.
09:33Conrad, my character,
09:34they have this wonderful house
09:36in the Cotswolds
09:37and it was just a joy
09:38to go down there
09:39to be in the countryside.
09:42So I've had the most glorious time
09:44being back in England.
