- Kind, generous,
- Thanks.
and, um...
...youthful.
- Oh that's lovely.
- (both) 'Ey.
You both sing in the film and, Jonny,
you wrote the lovely song
for the end credits.
Since Emma comes out
on Valentine's Day,
what is your go-to romantic ballad?
Ooh.
Jonny, do you have one?
I've been talking about
this Tom Waits song
that Autumn introduced me to,
or reintroduced me to,
called Ol' 55,
which is a bit of an obscure one.
(laughter)
- Oh, gosh.
- Go on.
- I'm thinking.
- Sorry.
See, I'd go for Celine Dion.
Uh-huh, yeah, I get that.
I'm thinking, umm...
I'd probably go for
a piece of classical music,
which sounds really, like, ancient,
but yeah, I'd go for
a piece of classical
music or something.
- That sounds good, yeah.
In period dramas, it's really typical
for us to see how
women get dressed up,
but Jonny, you get a scene
where you get dressed up.
What did you think of
the turning of the tables?
I was very happy to be, you know,
a part of
the equalising of that situation.
Often women's bodies
are objectified in film,
and apart from Connor who
plays the dresser in it,
I was the only guy on the set.
The producer, Autumn, the people in
the crew were all women,
so it was an interesting day
to be padding around naked
in between the scenes.
But I just was very happy
to tell this honest moment,
but also to be part
of something that subtly,
kind of, I don't know-,
Like, very powerful?
Yeah, powerful in a way, yeah.
One thing is it's really common
to describe things in three words,
so with Emma,
handsome, clever, and rich.
What three words would you
use to describe your co-star?
(laughter)
Nicely.
I'm still thinking about the songs.
Oh, sorry.
I'm still stuck in there.
- I'm like, Antony and the Johnsons.
- Huey Lewis, The Power of Love.
- Fistful of Love.
- Fistful of Love, that was my song!
- That was my song, yeah.
- We got there in the end, together.
(both) Um...
(laughter)
Handsome, clever, and really nice.
Oh lovely, that's nice.
Jonny, um...
oh, kind, generous,
- Thanks.
and, um, youthful.
- Oh, that's lovely.
- (both) 'Ey.
So, just saw a bit of it now,
but great eye contact in the film.
(laughter)
Who did grab your eye
most on set and why?
Ooh, who did-,
You mean one of
the other actors in the scene?
Yeah, anyone on set.
I give a lot of eye contact,
but I think
the person I couldn't have eye
contact with was Josh O'Connor.
I couldn't, I'd start laughing.
I couldn't handle him in that
outfit, it was too much for me.
Were you trying to avoid-,
Well no, because I had
to do the scene with him,
and so I was just like,
anytime I didn't-,
I was just trying to steel
myself to get through it
and not embarrass myself really,
do my job.
I watched the film
again the other day
and cried with laughter
at your carriage scene with him.
Is that the scene
you're talking about?
- Yeah, that was
our first ever scene.
- That was brilliant, by the way.
I was just like,
'Don't laugh, it's not funny.'
Yeah, that was so good.
There's a lot of amazing
bonnets, collars, neck ruffles,
and lots of elaborate costumes.
Was there ever any competition
between you two to outdo each other?
I mean, I wouldn't have stood
a chance, to be honest.
Even now, maybe?
No, I think we really
back each other up.
That's nice, that's so good to hear.
I think we have
a supportive relationship.
That is so nice to hear.
Obviously both of you
are very supportive of each other,
but on set-,
- (both) But-, (laughter)
Sorry, but on set arguing,
you managed to be quite polite
and you managed to get the perfect
shade into all the right words.
In real life, how composed
are you when you're angry?
What are you like
when you're angry, Jonny?
Well, a bit frustratingly reserved,
as my wife would tell you.
(laughter)
I sort of say things
through gritted teeth, usually.
I really try not to raise my voice,
I sort of don't
believe it's necessary,
but have you got
a different approach?
It takes a lot to get me angry,
but when I do get angry,
I just emotionally shut down
and I get really cold
and my words are very
pointed and vicious and low.
It's, like, scary.
It's not fun to be around.
I'm quite like that
as well, actually.
One thing is I loved
all the parlour games,
also a bit of upstaging on the piano
and with the musical instruments.
Do both of you have
a little party trick of your own?
You're really making me think,
this is great.
- I'm sure you've got something.
- I don't think I do.
I do little-,
it's really useful when
you're working with kids,
but I've got
a few sleight-of-hand magic tricks
Oh wow, nice.
that go down really well.
I make coins disappear and stuff.
That's great, wow.
I don't think I have any.
Neither do I,
I'm pretty talentless in that sense.
- I get very shy in those situations.
- Yeah, I understand that.
