In the series as a whole?

I hope you get it wrong.

A actually hotel be a hotel or C and the hotel, every hotel you give me options I wouldn't have got it.

And I looked at that nearly every day and I was like, Now you're asking me about I can't remember what the boys were talking because we played the game before you came here.

Whatever.

And the boys were like, He's gonna get films everyday onset.

He stares at every day, you know, without for the series.

When you found out that you've got the part, how are you feeling?

I was really scared because I was like, It's really the idea of playing someone over the period of like, 100 years.

It's quite daunting task, but also it's just a lot like there's a lot going on all the time.

And I also knew that, like the showrunners running said to me, It's like you're gonna be in every day and it's all night.

We were shooting for, like, five months.

Yeah, you need you to take care of yourself for the next few next few weeks before we start shooting the next couple of months.

Um, so, yeah, it was quite daunting.

And then when I got there was just like, you just take your time.

Did you feel like you take care of yourself.

You were good with versus the day or something.

You know, you get used to it.

You get used to it.

Used to do stuff like before I went out and started running.

It's just like it just means that I can I can learn how to, like, cheap my brain into, like, pushing beyond limit.

Um, And that sort of help.

But that's okay.

Crazy.

Okay.

Yeah.

Okay.

All right.

Okay, that's fine.

So this is random to you on the show.

This is your knowledge.

This was the most stream song of 2021.

I'm going to get that.

I'll give you options.

Blinding lights by the weekend, levitating by our driver's license by Olivia Rodrigo.

What's annoying is I was like, it's one of two things.

It's one of two songs, so it's either levitating or blind in life.

Um, I want to say when I was 2020 but how do we know?

Because at the end of 20 twenty-two.

So I really want to get this right.

I wanna get every single question.

Right?

Um, the weekend or Olivia, I'm gonna guess I'm gonna say levitating doing work.

Oh, no.

It was Olivia driver's license.

You probably heard that song Maybe 50 million times.

Driver's license.

You go.

I know this song, but just just for some reason.

Yeah, well, you were very close because they were all those are, like the top three, so I'm just like it was kind of a hard question.

So young Hollywood one Jacob five.

You're still doing great.

You're still winning.

I wanna win all of them.

I can't be no satisfaction in this now, okay?

You admitted this on T v.

I don't know.

Hey, you broke your thanks be you were late to set or see the fight scenes to 12 hours each to film.

I mean, that's true.

Okay, well, I think I think the thing that I said was about breaking the teeth Yes, because I didn't tell anybody about that.

The only person that that was me, you did my makeup, and she was like, Okay, I've got a spare.

Just put this.

That's so funny.

Because the other two answers I just made up.

So you just admitted to the year 12 hours and then you relate to sit.

That's fine.

So for your eyes were the size of a tricky when you looked in the mirror.

Yeah, it's just like you would be looking at anything.

Yeah, because you just like it means that unless you're looking at even like everything is is just like being in a dream you can't really see like the details of people's faces.

You can't.

Yeah, it's really weird.

It's like, if you imagine looking through like, uh, like a kitchen role thing all the time throughout the day, it's a bit like that.

Like the whole 12 hours.

It's sometimes a but, you know, every day if you're looking at this like or looking like being in a completely different Okay.

Oh, my God, it's bad.

No.

Well, look great on the show.

So they work.

Just I walked into things a lot, you know?

Okay, What year was interview with the vampire?

First published 19 seventy-six, 19 eighty-four or 19 seventy-three.

I know it was written 19 seventy-three, but I don't know if it was published the same year or if it was published in 19 seventy-six.

Oh, mind I need to start paying attention.

Uh, I wanna say it was published in the year 19 seventy-six Yeah, Got it.

Did you read the books?

You did.

And then you kinda caught up on reading like all of them.

Yeah, the first two before we got anything.

And then I read most of them.

I've got, like, a Okay, so you're on the plane at home.

You can be reading.

I read cleaning the damage on the way home.

Yeah, book and then just kept reading.

How do you feel as someone that's in the show acting out the book compared to the show because so many comments on the trailers and like the episodes and social media and stuff is comparing them.

So how do you feel as someone that's the end of the show.

I don't know what I mean.

Like, I really hope that I've done the character justice and I've done the show the story justice.

But I feel like I just have to make sure that I stayed true to how I felt about the book.

First read it and I thought as a fan of the book and one of the books that it was like as long as I remember that I loved it.

I remember why I love it.

can kind of can't go wrong.

You trying to please everyone?

You just end up, please.

Yeah, because everyone has a different idea of Well, I'm not really bad comment.

You got it.

I was wondering, you're going to get that one.

Where does the p h d and sad boy come from?

I think you spelled it.

I think a it's funny because, like, I feel like there are things that we come up with, like things that happened on the Internet. And you're like, Oh, yeah, I was like, Oh, yeah, it is based in just like being sad. Um, uh, yeah, I just I guess I'm saying I feel qualified to talk about being sad, Sad boy or yeah, Like sad. Uh, anything bad, boy.

He says it all the time. You guys are one and the same. And you're right. Yeah. Okay. This one is great. Okay. Your co-star Sam reads birthday is and we're sending this to him. If you get it wrong.

Okay, ready? It took this amount of time to write interview with the vampire. Three weeks, four months, five weeks, her. And she wrote it. Yeah.

Is it three weeks for five weeks because she wrote a short story first. And then I think that the novel came really quickly. I just I don't know if it's three weeks for five weeks, I'm gonna say five weeks because you said you say five months, Four months, four months. All right, Let's go for, uh, for three weeks. Yeah, all right with you. All right. I'm trying to think, too. Like I'm trying to be strategic in, like, a multiple choice tribute. Yeah, and it's not. It's not the way to go. I should have trusted my instincts. Go with your gut with your gut, it all over the table. So it's like you get a lot of cleaning.

Okay, so you have your game of Thrones background and you have interview with the vampire. So what would you say is your more favorite project?

It's not fair. It's not fair. Question is interviewed the vampire, but it's still not. You said I have my answer, but, um, yeah, no, I think I love I love doing it. I love playing.

It's like Art Deco, and it's like just like, shiny black and even the inside looks amazing. It's, like deep like I love green. So I love it to look at Yeah, getting in it. So it was like these little cushions, you know, we're a but yeah, it's like it has that all the way down all the way around. If you live in the middle of the coffee in the buttons like hit every single joint in your body And, like, all the way down your spine, like right there on the back of your head down and then, like, on your arms and everything, like, it's just so yeah, it's like it feels like some kind of acupuncture exercise. I'm not. You think they have a better coffin considering you're vampire. But yeah, I think they were like they were thinking purely design. Yeah, that I respect It can't be mad. I just wasn't everything. The is not seeing the coffee Uncomfortable challenge But that was fine. When there were two of us in that was fine. If they were to people, and you just go either side of the

You know, it wasn't It was It was like I thought it was 11. But then I know there were two books that I didn't even know about until Like, it's good. You're good. You're good.

Is your family watch the show?

Yeah. Yeah, they do. I think some of it's probably quite a lot for them. Just like seeing me in peril frequently, but no, it's not. The show doesn't care in the U. K. Yeah. So a lot of my family have you watched it when it comes out, like, Do you have screenings for it? So you can watch it as it comes up with? I've got I've got links so I could watch, but like. So I watched it, um, without any effect. And then watch that, like, that's crazy, you know? Yeah. It's really like I feel like it's really hard. And then when you watch something and it's got nothing on it and you're like, Oh, I still like, I think this is good. This work. Um, but yeah. Yeah, like it's gonna be interesting. When? Why not? My friend's watching, like friends and family feedback. I love that stuff. I just generally don't tell people like I've done like yeah. Yeah. Like, released. A whole album is not told anyone family on the radio, and they're like, Oh, yeah, that's great. Like, it's just you finish your album. Yeah. Yeah.

Um oh, it's hard to some Read. Let's say some read. We're gonna cut. That would keep watching when you get his birthday wrong. Keep In the end, it's, um it's definitely the best. Um, you know, he's probably not the best thing to come from. Okay, we're going to cut that. Yeah, I think I did like I did things in that show that I didn't think I'd be able to do. Like, I really have to push myself and for me, like it's a big deal to be able to fill that about myself. Like I There were things like genuinely like I don't know how to do this. Like, I don't know. I don't think it would be very good at this particular thing. Did you feel that? Everybody loves it. Everyone does. So congratulations on the series being such a good job of the game, you win. Winner, winner. I've got more right when I got wrong. So um yeah, it's three point. I'm gonna go back now and I'm gonna be the study. Right? Remember that time I lost that game? Yeah.
