 So it was a pretty croaky film. What was your most memorable or funniest memory from filming? I mean it was pretty ridiculous having to say dialogue that I had to say to Sonny who plays my Sean. It's tasty dialogue, maybe tasty is the wrong word to use given the subject that I'm addressing in that speech but Sonny had earbuds in so he couldn't hear what I was saying thank god. That was kind of ridiculous and hard to spit out and it's so well written and it kind of treads the line between hilarity and absurdity and absolute just bleakness. As well you know because I've talked to some people that find it funny and they feel guilty about laughing. It's just really I mean it's heavy shit what I'm saying to them in that scene. Do you know what I mean? Like really explicit. Did he want to hear it though? Was he like no living here? Oh totally. Oh Sonny's a mad little man. He's a mad little man. He's great fun and he's dead wide Sonny. He's really really clever. Really really clever. He's got serious street smarts. I don't know what age he is now 12 or 13 but yeah it wasn't. I don't know if that kind of I can curse like a sailor like the best of them but I don't know if that particular kind of language is appropriate for anyone certainly not for 11 or 12 year old or whatever age it was then. So I've got to ask you about another awkward couple of scenes the bedroom scenes. What is it like to film in real life? Ridiculous it's so so not as intimate as one may imagine you know because there's a crew there there's a guy with a microphone holding it over your head there's a cameraman who's in your face and it's an exercise in geography really more than anything else I try and block it down very physically particularly this one was like everything in yours films was so awkward and it's not like quote-unquote a love scene there is no love there's no tenderness there's no none of those things I mean there yes love maybe tenderness is being represented in that couple's world but it's again not like anything that we recognize as such and serious as well you know because just be aware and sensitive of you know as soon as cut look away grab a towel or dressing hand that's there make sure everyone that needs to be covered up is covered up and move through it as fast as possible. How do you not find it awkward? No it definitely is awkward the whole thing can be awkward at times I mean more awkward if you have your clothes off of course and just try and get through it and you know if you have a laugh you have a laugh but you move through it and and everyone wants to get through it and and honor the moments or the scene because each love scene in a film will have a certain pace or have a certain tone to it itself and ideally if a love scene is in a film you know if it's not if it doesn't have a purpose it's called gratuitous rightfully so and if it has a purpose it doesn't form where those characters are at that time are to say something about their lives or how they coexist or how they interrelate so but you just try and move through it as seamlessly and easily as possible and then call it a day. You have one particular nude scene where you're sat in a chair Does this mean that you feel like you've got to get into fitness regime before you do the film or that you felt quite like aware of it? You saw what was sat in that chair didn't you? That was not a man who was consumed with the benefits of fitness in a life. No I didn't get as soft on this one as I got on the lobster but I got soft enough and you know it's and it was fine it's fine just sitting there naked and they shot that pretty quick as well. Goose is now particularly comfortable you know the dudes in the corner and loving it just sitting there like and out but I'm sorry. I got a sexual attraction vibe between Stephen and Martin is that what you were intending to do? There was a line initially you know where Barry's character Martin says to me when I give him the watch can I give you a kiss and I read that and I was like oh because already just Yorkshire's world the character's interrelated in such an awkward fashion as far as I can feel and so I was wondering the same thing when I read it at first and then when I saw the film I didn't feel that but you certainly wouldn't be way off the mark to think that but that wasn't the purpose and that was never something that we reached for and that's what Yorkshire does he just puts forth a certain set of circumstances and an awkwardness of dialogue or the way he frames things that you just feel that things are everything is just a little bit off you know so you'd be forgiven for thinking what you felt
