00:00 I found quite fun is that Hayley and James
00:01 kind of have their moment at the airport,
00:04 which I think is such a time-honored tradition
00:05 for rom-coms, but also Christmas movies in particular.
00:08 I wonder how did you find filming those scenes
00:10 and getting to have such a classic moment?
00:14 - Yeah, it was fun.
00:15 As you said, it's that very classic Christmas trope,
00:17 and I feel like a lot of actors are probably like,
00:21 "Ah, one day I'll do that.
00:22 "One day I'll have my Christmas scene in the airport."
00:24 And we've already done it,
00:25 so we can look onto new things now.
00:27 - I know.
00:29 - I wouldn't even say I thought about it in that way
00:31 when we were filming it.
00:32 It was just another day at Stansted.
00:34 - I mean, it was quite fun getting to, I guess,
00:38 stop the film, not film, the plane on the runway.
00:41 - Oh, yeah.
00:42 - I thought, "That's really wild trying to stop it."
00:44 - That was very epic.
00:44 There were moments throughout the first and second film
00:47 where I was convinced that I would look like James Bond,
00:51 like running through the field or running off an airplane,
00:54 and actually I look like a bit of an idiot.
00:57 But it's all right, 'cause I think Hayley
00:59 is endearing in that way,
01:00 'cause I think she thinks she's very cool,
01:02 and actually she's a bit of a silly sausage.
