Ryan, you're the man. Thank you so much for talking to me. Wow
0:03
You like my intro. No, you're the man with that shirt. That's pretty good. Both dress very snazzy
0:08
I think we both came correct. Something I enjoyed so much right throughout your new film, Project Hail Mary
0:14
is your character Grace's ability to find humor in almost anything. I'm not an astronaut
0:21
I've never done a spacewalk. I can't even moonwalk. I haven't done the whole pool thing
0:25
No, no, no. This is just for social media. I felt like this came very naturally from you
0:30
So I'm wondering, is that something you try and practice in your own life? Well, you got to laugh to keep from crying, huh
0:35
I do. And I think, you know, it's something that I always want in my films, but sometimes it's hard to get it in there
0:43
I think there's this, especially when I started doing dramas, there was this sense that, like, nothing funny could happen
0:50
And if something funny happened in a scene, they would cut and they would say, all right, that was funny, but let's start again
0:55
As though, like, it's not a part of life. So I love working with these filmmakers because they believe that you know these things go hand in hand And also Andy Weir the author is like it all throughout his book Well I was lucky enough to meet Rocky He very very charming
1:12
You did? I did, and I saw the team of ninjas. He's downstairs
1:16
He's at the hotel? There's a team of... My God, he didn't text. See this guy? He's so Hollywood now
1:23
It's all gone through his head, hasn't it? I didn't even know he was in town. Did he ask about me? Did he even, like..
1:27
He didn't, I'm afraid. No. we're gonna save our planet we have to learn how to communicate
1:41
why is a school teacher in space don't like that voice nope i am rocky that's not bad amaze amaze amaze you have a lot of scenes with rocky
1:50
um who's operated by some very talented puppeteers does it mean though that you spend a lot of time
1:56
practicing for this film by rehearsing your lines to maybe like a plant pot perhaps a rumba
2:02
or something. I spent, I think, 100 days alone on this movie
2:05
so I had a lot of time to talk to everything, and a lot of talking to myself At one point it was like my kids came in and saved me because I had been talking to Rocky for a long time
2:21
but I couldn't see anybody, and I had a little earwig in my ear. So my kids came and got on the mic
2:26
and I got to do scenes with them as Rocky, which was really hilarious and beautiful
2:32
And it's in the movie, some of the reactions that I have to Rocky are actually me talking to my kids
2:38
That's a really nice Easter egg. I like that. Is there something you really like about the UK
2:43
Maybe something that we do really well. I love the foxes. I think the fox situation here is just so cool
2:51
They're very bold, aren't they? They sort of walk around like they own the place. I don't think you celebrate them enough, honestly
2:57
Like when you go to some cities, they have like, you know, it's like there's like different cow statues everywhere, right
3:03
And then an artist paints the cow or different. Every artist gets there
3:07
Or there's like a horse, you know, a theme or whatever. We're like, why isn't that happening here with Foxes
3:12
They've really played the long game. Now they get all the trash, they get it all
3:16
they throw it everywhere Oh yeah they winning They like yeah for sure They like celebrities trashing their hotel rooms They just like we made it now There is a question we love to ask all of our guests It actually called please stop asking me
3:28
So this is where you find out the question you reckon comes up quite a lot. We're not saying these are good or bad questions, just ones that come up quite a lot
3:35
We had a fantastic one last week from Maggie Gyllenhaal. She says, please stop asking if there's any sibling rivalry between her and her brother
3:42
She loves him. They're very supportive of each other. Is there? Not at all. He's in a new film
3:46
They love each other. Imagine. Oh, yeah, they hate each other. Well, I was wondering, Ryan, do you have a please stop asking me
3:53
Please stop asking me if I'm Ryan Reynolds. How often does that? Is there not room in the world for two Ryans with beards
3:59
Do you know what a Canadian tuxedo is? Oh, yeah, sure. It's double denim or, you know, triple denim if you're..
4:06
Triple denim? If you're able. How would you pull that off? Well, you could have a denim shirt, a denim jacket, and then, you know, jeans
4:13
Do you own a Canadian tuxedo? Oh, yeah. I almost wore one today, honestly
4:19
You were in half a Canadian tuxedo today
