00:00 Thank you. Just a little bit of hydration there.
00:02 There you go. Paul said he's not used to the screams. Are you used to the screams? He said
00:05 he feels like he's in trouble. He's not used to screaming his name.
00:08 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The screaming is a... You never get used to the screaming.
00:11 Let's talk about being an actor. Is this what you dreamt of? Being the lead man in a film
00:15 like this as a kid?
00:17 Not necessarily what I dreamed of. The leading man or something. I played a lot of supporting
00:20 roles, sometimes leading roles. You just want to be something where you're at this thing
00:24 and you're not going into the cinema and going, 'Oh my god, I don't like this.' So, actually,
00:27 the product is the most important thing, where you just feel, 'I'm really proud of this film.'
00:31 And boy, we couldn't be more proud of this film.
00:35 This is going to mean a lot to people, this film. What meant a lot to you growing up? What film?
00:39 In film?
00:39 Yeah. What did you love?
00:40 I don't know. I feel like all different types of film I've always loved. But I have to say,
00:46 growing up, I would have loved to have seen a film like this. I really would. I really
00:49 would. And so the fact that this film exists and to be at the centre of it is completely,
00:54 completely wonderful. Magical.
00:56 Yeah. Paul got to share a bed with Billy Elliot.
00:58 Yes.
00:59 Can you believe that he was in this? I just loved David Bell. Was it lovely to be around him?
01:03 He was incredible. To have him play my dad was not something I would ever have imagined.
01:07 Yeah.
01:08 And just finally, what would you bring back from childhood?
01:11 What would I bring back from childhood?
01:12 Yeah, because Claire said a pair of her favourite tights as a kid.
01:14 Oh, wow.
01:15 Paul said a pair of football boots. Anything you'd like to bring back?
01:20 I had this car that I could use to sort of zoom around in. But I'd probably have to learn
01:25 how to drive that properly.
01:26 You're absolutely incredible. Congratulations.
01:28 Thank you.
