You actually had to ring her in real life to persuade her
0:03
Did you? Yeah. I didn't know that was me. Thank you. You're welcome
0:07
Yes. And I think I got one take where I wasn't laughing because I cannot work with Stanley Tucci now
0:12
I just can't. I can't be meeting. Who can? I think she's quivering with insecurity
0:18
Oh, he's so difficult. He held up for the big bucks, didn't he
0:22
I think he held up for the big bucks. All I have to do is wait for you to fail and you will fail
0:29
Yes. Take the subway or whatever it is. I got a shiver then when you look me in the eye
0:33
Yes. What do you think of my outfit? Florals for spring. Groundbreaking
0:44
First of all, I was privileged to see the film last night with my daughter
0:48
We walked the red carpet. It is brilliant. It's everything I was praying for
0:54
Good. Super funny, very vulnerable. How, I mean, everyone's asking you this question
1:00
I'll just join the gang. How was it reuniting after 20 years
1:06
Well, we've reunited a lot between. Yeah. In that span of years
1:11
We've sort of seen quite a bit of each other over the years. Yeah
1:15
I've seen too much of Stanley Tucci. Well, obviously, he's your brother-in-law
1:19
Yes, however. So it was very effortless and easy. and it was sort of this 20-year family
1:27
It was rather too easy to sneak back into their shoes. It was fun, too, to revisit these characters
1:34
You never get to do that and sort of fix what you didn't like
1:39
Improve it. So, obviously, you've seen each other then over the years
1:43
Who was the last person to say yes to doing it? Or was it a Stanley teacher
1:48
We're all in. Was he probably? Is he difficult? Oh, he's so difficult
1:54
He held up for the big bucks, didn't he? I think he held up for the big bucks. So you have like a WhatsApp group
2:01
We have a chain. We do have a little chain where we mainly complain about doing press, but that's it
2:07
Well, yeah, no, I get it. I totally get it. The film for me feels I going to use the word sweeter sort of a lot sweeter and a lot more vulnerable than the first one I going to say Especially with your character Do you think that Miranda is on the back foot because of all the sort of
2:26
digital correctness that's in the world now and she's always one sentence away from being cancelled
2:32
Or as am I. Or do you think it's just because her character has mellowed over the years
2:39
I don't I mean I'm always shocked when that that reaction comes
2:44
that she's mellowed because I mean I think in the first five minutes
2:49
she says you know you discuss no all I have to do
2:54
is wait for you to fail and you will fail yes take the subway
2:58
or whatever I got a shiver then when you look for me in the eye and says
3:02
then people are like she's so sweet yeah well there are there's some really vulnerable I enjoyed it I did enjoy those moments it made me laugh as well
3:13
when you're at the end of that table in those boardroom meetings with your lovely new Emily
3:18
yes um and she's telling you what you can and can't say yeah were there any was there any of
3:23
those scenes that you actually thought actually that is too much we actually better cut that
3:27
no I think I I recall just overlaying things that I thought would never go in I think
3:35
When I said, you know, like your methadone addicts, the models are acting like methadone addicts in a clinic in New Jersey
3:46
I thought, I'll never use that. There it is in the movie
3:50
I know. My favourite was the negative model body confidence. I loved that
3:56
It was brilliant. Was it fabulous for your character to have grown
4:01
and to suddenly be higher up the food chain? Yes. In a little bit more control
4:06
Yeah, that she's a bit more sharky now with the power that she has
4:12
But, I mean, it's all sort of performative power with her. I think she's quivering with insecurity
4:19
Still desperate for mummy's love. Yes. Desperate. Love that she may never
4:24
it will elude her to the bitter end, I think. But I love playing her
4:29
I think she's a lunatic and I just have a lot of fun. I love watching her
4:33
I love everything. When she throw everything out there When you said are we in a fish market Are we in a fish market Nigel And I think I got one take where I wasn laughing
4:48
because I cannot work with Stanley Tucci now. I just can't. I can't be me too
4:52
Who can? I had an accidental dinner with him. Did you? What's an accidental dinner
4:58
Well, they were on the next table. Was it at Reva? Yes, and it's for Taylor's. It's so good, the food in there
5:03
And there's no music, So you have to be in on each other's conversations. Yes, and we kind of were, and then we all ended up..
5:09
Oh, they're a good hang-up, eh? Big evening. No, it was absolutely... It was a big evening
5:13
It was a big evening. In the film, your character has to make a very important phone call
5:18
to try and save the fashion show by getting Lady Gaga. Yes
5:22
I heard last night at the party from one of my birds
5:27
that you actually had to ring her in real life to persuade her to come and do the show
5:33
Is that true? yeah i didn't know that was me thank you you're welcome yes yes yes i did call her she's so method
5:41
i called her from islington because i was out to dinner with tracy and i thought you know i might
5:47
as well try her and tracy probably went yeah do it yeah and i got her number from
5:54
okay and you know yeah i just said would you do this because it's gonna be really good and
6:01
She said, yeah. Oh. Like that. Oh, my God. I mean, who wouldn't
6:05
She's absolutely epic. She's on her world tour. Yeah. Which lasted a year, you know, playing 75,000 people in a stadium
6:17
Yeah. And just flew off and did us. My friends were telling me that she would do the whole show
6:22
And then for the final piece, did you hear about this? She goes backstage, takes off the wig, takes off everything
6:27
takes off all of her makeup, comes out. She's this big. And people sobbed
6:33
Because just to see, that's how she ended up being like, that's all that, but this is really me
6:37
I think she's a creative storm. I think she's amazing. Yeah. No, I mean, she smashed it
6:43
And she always looks amazing. I mean, the fashion is to die for in the show
6:48
especially some of your outfits. Did you nick any of it? No. No? No
6:52
It is going to be auctioned off for a fantastic cause. Well journalist But I don think I could ever wear any of those vibes out on the street I mean look at this I can wear this on a school run You think she put that together
7:07
I didn't put this together. I do wear a Valentino heel on the school run
7:11
But I do love these shoes. These might have to come home with me
7:15
This is completely off-grid, but your daughter's performance in Love Story as well was amazing
7:19
I can't wait to see it. Gorgeous. It's such a lovely... I can't wait to see it. I almost don't want to watch the end because I want it to change
7:24
but I know it's not going to change. But it's such a sad, tragic story, but she was really good
7:29
Thank you. So lovely. I think she was, too. I was sitting there going, wow
7:34
Wow. She's like, why are you surprised? Yeah. No, but look, jealous, too
7:42
Emily, what is next for you? Are you allowed to say? The next thing coming out
7:47
The next thing that you're doing, not tomorrow's school run or... Because that's interesting
7:52
The next thing that's not a school run is I did Steven Spielberg's film
7:57
and that comes out in June. It's called Disclosure Day. Okay, fantastic
8:02
And you got to make a movie with Killian again? No, not with Killian
8:06
It was with Andrew Scott. I just did it. Oh, yeah. I just finished a little movie in Ireland with Andrew Scott and Karen Hines
8:12
which was completely magical. That's nice doing Ireland. Yeah. Lovely. They have it right, the Irish
8:19
Everyone can deliver a joke. That's right. Everyone's creative. Everyone's a wordsmith
8:24
The joy surrounding me on that film. I never wanted to leave
8:28
So cool. Oh, fantastic. Now, Mamma Mia 3, I'm sorry, but I have a friend called Alan Carr who's in this country
8:39
And he's kind of asked me to see... I know you may rise from the dead and turn back up, I'm hoping
8:45
but he wants me to put in a good word. Well, tell God. yeah
8:50
he wants to be a gay waiter which is a huge stretch but I feel like he could nail it
8:55
he would crush it I mean I think we could bring some cameos
8:59
into Mamma Mia we could kind of do a Double West Prada but for everyone yes everyone
9:04
an ABBA yes an ABBA cameo mash up Prada mash up thank you both very much
9:11
for your time thank you it's amazing
