00:00Day one of set did Ryan get all his questions out about succession before you got to work. Yeah
00:07It's very nice. Yeah, it was it was lovely
00:09It was lovely getting to work with Ryan and Hugh to a lot of improv on set
00:14Did you get to improv along with the guys? I think the misconception is that it's very
00:18improvised
00:20Improvisation heavy and it's or the script was so good
00:22And if you do have a wonderful script, which we did then really 99% of the time you stay to the script
00:28but it's that 1% which you sort of have fun with and
00:32Put things in and and because Ryan it's Ryan's baby and he's Deadpool in his bones
00:39He just could throw things in and and encourage me to try stuff and Sean as well
00:45It's only be our director. So it felt very fertile and fun being a part of this franchise now
00:51Why do you think Deadpool specifically has been able to stand that test of time of not having that superhero fatigue?
00:57Well, I think he's Deadpool is just as he subverts the whole thing and he's
01:03deliciously
01:05Kind of wickedly subversive. I mean he's you know, that's that's the joy of it
01:09You kind of he says the thing that everyone might think in there, you know
01:13Their darkest thoughts and just says it now
01:16Obviously, you've been around a lot of f-bombs, but who on set said the most offset
01:21You've been a lot around a lot of f-bombs on camera
01:24Previous job in this one, but who has the dirtiest of mouths out of Ryan and you?
01:30Oh
01:32Ryan oh actually
01:34No, probably Hugh in real life. I'd say will you be in a Deadpool for sure, but
01:39You'll be enjoying some popcorn from Hughes head tonight. I hope so
