Original subtitles

to say, Gracio and Graham Norton Show.

Welcome to the show.

Thank you very much. That's very kind of you. You've got a great line-up tonight.

I've got almost as many stars as celebrity traitors.

And I promise not to murder any of them.

Hey,

singing for us later, look over there, it's Blossoms!

They're performing the track Husband from their latest album. But first, on

my show tonight... This Tony and Golden Globe winning star of stage and screen

has played everything from an aspiring composer in Tick Tick Boom to a betrayed

Facebook founder in The Social Network and The Amazing Spider-Man in, well, The

Amazing Spider-Man. Now, he stars as a revolting peasant in Paul Greengrass's

epic The Uprising. Please welcome Andrew Garfield!

There he is!

Hey! You did very short.

Very short.

a household name in the darling buds of may going on to an oscar-winning career

starring in chicago the mask of zorro and most recently as morticia adams in

wednesday now she's going back to her welsh roots in the action series kill

jackie it's catherine zeta jones

It is 50 years since this man first stepped into the boxing ring as Rocky

Balboa, starting a career as one of Hollywood's greatest action heroes. His

new memoir, The Steps, tells the fascinating story of his rise to

superstardom. It is such a pleasure to welcome the great Sylvester Stallone!

Have a seat, everybody.

Sit yourselves down.

You're all so welcome to the show. Lovely to see you all.

Sylvester Stallone, presumably you have met everyone in show business. Have you

met Catherine and Andrew before?

You know what? Remind me. Did we ever, like, sort of pass by or no?

What is this? She's looking at her like, I never... Well, let me tell you

something, and if you can't remember, I'm not upset at all.

But... No, it's not about that.

I had the pleasure of screen testing with you personally for

Judge Dredd, and I didn't get the role. Excuse me.

Wait a minute. No, no, no, I did.

No, but now I have Alzheimer's. No!

On your show.

It was one of those moments where, well, usually you never get... to meet the

star, you know?

But I was shortlisted, and I was at the studio, and I was screen testing, and

you were there.

Oh, my God, really? And I have to say, it was one of the best. I was so

starstruck. That's probably why I didn't get the role.

But it was one of those wonderful moments where... It's happened to me

three times. With you, I screen test, and with Harrison Ford, I didn't get

that one, but I did with Sean Connery. All right! There you go!

Congratulations. All red. Win-win.

And, Sylvester Stallone, have you screen-tested Andrew Garfield for a

second? Of course.

Yes, it was Judge Dredd. You didn't get it. I was too nervous. And for

Cliffhanger and for Demolition Man and for Rocky and Creed. And Baby Rocky.

Baby Rocky. Yeah, all of them.

Now, Catherine and Andrew, have you met?

No. No, we haven't until just now. Just now.

And we're doing great, I think. But now, I believe, Andrew, because you're

so on it, you've done some research. So, I was so overwhelmed by the idea of

being on the couch with...

Two legends tonight, genuinely.

I brushed up on my history with you both. And something I discovered that I

didn't know is that the first two musicals you did when you were younger,

the first two musicals I did when I was just starting out as well, 16, 17, Bugsy

Malone and then 42nd Street. You're joking. And that's very strange.

Yeah. Who's old?

I played Fat Sam, quite ironically. But I was very happy. I was Tallulah. Of

course you fucking were.

What are the odds of that?

And then 42nd Street. And then 42nd Street. I played for two years here in

London. And you were the understudy and then you...? Oh, yeah. Is that right?

You were second understudy. I was second understudy. This is an amazing showbiz

story. You'll like this.

Yeah. So, I was in the chorus. I was 17 years old.

And I was second understudy within three months of me being, you know, in the

show.

Second understudy is...

Rarely get on you know, but this particular week the lead actress was on

holiday the first understudy had hurt a knee and I was thrown on and It just

happened that David Merrick the show's producer the old, you know, Broadway

producer was in the audience looking at his shows and Cast me in the lead role

when I was 17 for two years, but the story of 42nd Street is yeah the star

breaks her foot and the chorus girl gets thrown off. So it was one of those that

happened to me. It was a true life thing. No, we have something in common.

You said David Merrick was the producer? Yes. I delivered sandwiches to him when

I was working in the gallery.

For real.

Wow.

I swear to God.

I actually wrote a short play about it. Yeah.

That's terrible.

That's amazing.

No, I'm telling you. Oh, I got to take advantage of this. And was that one of

those things when you were delivering sandwiches where you were kind of, like,

lingering in the office in case somebody spotted you? You mean, like, laying

across the doorstep going like this?

No, this was, like, a big deal.

Because, you know, the actor, you know, they come up and said they...

purgatory that actors have to go through. It's really endless. It's

really amazing what actors have to go through. Seriously, like, the chances of

a guy or a woman getting discovered or having a long career is 98% against.

Think about that. Like, you have more of a chance of walking on the moon without

a helmet.

You take advantage. You see David Merck, you go, eh.

LAUGHTER That's

really funny.

Yeah.

Talking of show business, Andrew, your hair, beautiful, by the way.

I love it. Beautiful.

I love it.

But it's for, it's for, you are making a great showbiz story. I wanted to ask you

guys about, I'm playing Roy Horne of Siegfried and Roy.

I knew him. Of course you, yeah, I want to know the story. So I'm playing Roy

and it was for, it's an Apple show. Jude Law is playing Siegfried and he's

fantastic. Oh my God. And it's like seven parts. And yeah, I grew it out.

Because he had this long, luscious hair, and then we ended up just putting a wig

of the exact same.

Like me.

Because we go throughout the decades, and there's lots of different... He

changed his hair a lot. What a crazy idea.

I met them. Crazy. I could never believe that these German guys ended up on this

huge show in Vegas, like, the biggest show, with all those tigers and the

illusion. It was the craziest thing. I went backstage to meet them once.

And did you know them, know them, Sylvester? Like the David Merrick story?

Yeah. I happen to have that story. Of course you do. Come on, Sly, come on. So

I just finished, like, Rocky II, and they invite me to the show, and I'm

there. They say, come on up to the apartment between shows.

I said, yeah, sure, and I'm up there, and, you know, I'm, oh, my God, excuse

me, do you have a men's room?

I go, of course, just through the bedroom, and there it is.

So I go, ciao.

I walk in, and there's a frigging white tiger.

Now, you ever hear a tiger breathe? It isn't like, yeah, it's, ah.

And it yawns. And I say, Keith, guess what?

The bathroom disappeared.

All of a sudden, everything went back into my system.

For real.

Very good.

Listen, let's get started. Sylvester Stallone comes tonight not as a movie

star, but as an author. His new memoir is called The Steps. I've got a copy of

it here.

It is out now.

And so the idea is this covers a really specific part of your life. Yeah, it

does. Again, it's like the performer's journey, which is always quite original

and different.

It's that kind of a thing. So I thought, you know, wow, what am I sticking around

for? I mean, if I don't...

If I don't pass it on, like, the experience to perhaps up-and-coming

artists, like, this is what you need to go through, at least what I went through

to achieve my goal, so I wanted to put it on the page.

And as I was saying to you, like, a lot of this story, only you know.

Oh, yeah. Only you know. I mean, so, you know, people often have that thing, oh,

we were born, we were poor when we were kids. Right, right. And you were really

poor when you were kids. It was pretty bad, yeah, it was.

It was, like, really bad.

But I really think that all contributes to it. It was a tough upbringing, and I

used to go, oh, woe is me.

But when I think about it, that's what you draw on.

Like, if everything... Oh, he was born in Beverly Hills and he had a Rolls

Royce when he was 16.

You know, it's kind of hard to conjure up that... Yeah, and before you get to

the writing and performing, there are some interesting diversions along the

way. So, you weren't doing well in school.

No. So, what did they suggest you do then?

Do you remember this? No.

It seems unlikely now, but you went to beauty school, didn't you? Oh, yeah,

yeah, yeah.

My father was a beautician, which, hands this big, like five bananas connected

with foam. I don't know how he became a beautician. So he goes, hey, you're a

moron. Why don't you get a job?

Why don't you get a job with me?

And I just kind of say, I couldn't. So I go to beauty school, and it's

interesting, because everyone in beauty school

is literally, at the last rung of society, they're desperate.

It's like, oh, yeah, I'm, you know, nine months pregnant.

I've just got to have a Hell's Angel. It's a very different view.

They're not like, hey, healthy people, they're weird.

After the pin curls and everything during the day, at night, they get a

little loaded. Can I shave your head?

Why don't you have a green eyebrow?

They just do that stuff.

Metallic rinses. And I go, you know, I think I'm not really cut out for this.

Only because I had no gifted hands.

That was it for a while. Listen, there are so many stories in the book and

we've got to, you know, if you want to hear all the stories, buy the book.

But you end up in New York and you're trying to be discovered, you're writing

screenplays, you end up writing the screenplay that everybody wants, Rocky.

Yeah. But everyone wants it, but you... I know.

And this is, this is where, this is where it takes on a kind of a sort of

showbiz myth quality.

So everyone's by your screenplay, you would think already, great, I'm

successful. But you have one condition.

I wanted to play Rocky and they went over our dead body. And I totally

understand that. I was as green as they get. I wasn't like a leading man. I had

very little acumen about the process.

How old were you, Louis?

Probably, well, actually, as you know, There's kind of a cutoff point to make

it in Hollywood that usually if you're not somewhere by the time you're 28 29

It's kind of hard to make it in your 30s. Would you agree? Yeah, so I'm like

29 and 3 quarters There I'm telling at the tipping point. Yeah, so we're

sitting there you go. No, no, we don't want you and then this For some reason

that's why I think this is divine intervention.

Mm-hmm. The price keeps going up and they go And then my agent goes, don't be

a moron. My lawyer's like, are you insane?

So I got some 30 to 60 to 100 to 200 to 260.

Now... I didn't have a dime, and I have a wife who's pregnant, a dog that

literally doesn't want to talk to me anymore.

I'm down, like, Jesus.

I'd pick a horrible guy to, you know... Take the money.

And it got up to some ridiculous height, and I'm literally... I had people

screaming at me, like...

So it got up to 360, which is, in that time, about $2.5 billion. 360 in 1976?

I mean, crazy. Yeah, it was like $2.5 billion.

But, you know...

I realized that I was never going to make it. I was always going to be the

thug, the third guy through the door. I mugged Jack Lemmon, I mugged David

Carradine, I mugged Woody Allen.

Their handwriting was on the wall, okay?

I thought I would have a Hugh Grant career. I go, nah, that's not happening.

Rocky was one of those movies that you remember the first time you see it, you

know? And it stays with you.

There's very few movies that come around where you go...

Remember the first time you screamed Adrian and I remember I was that was

much younger than you for sure I remember tears in my eyes going she's

It's a formative film of art of our generation and

I guess it is a like what you did But wait... It was nuts.

But wait, I need to know what happened, because you were about to say...

Because, like, what made you decide... OK. Sorry, Graham. No, no, go!

Go! I'm so sorry. No. I'm just like... By the book, Andrew, shut up.

No, you're allowed.

Ask, ask.

I'm thinking that I'm taking everyone down with me. I mean, if they finally

walk away, which I was expecting them to leave, I literally have blown everyone's

life around me. I've taken everyone because of my ego or whatever it was.

But I just knew that, you know, you make it just, it's just everything that you

have. An actor, like, you know, your weaknesses, your strengths. So I've

tried to put everything in there. And the fact that this is a broken down guy.

And there's, to me, nothing's worse in the world than being saddled with

loneliness. Like, you, your entire life meant nothing. You were just taking up

space until the next poor guy comes along.

And I said, I'm never going to find this again.

So I literally went out in the backyard, and I was, like, ranting at a guy. I

said, give me some strength. And I pounded around, and I come back in, and

my hand is killing me, and the phone rings.

And, you know, yo, sly!

You know, I'm like...

They go, how you doing, Sly? I had a guy from the Bronx.

He said, down.

I go, yeah. He goes, they left. They quit. They told me to F off. He goes,

you got the part. You can play walkie. And I went, oh my god.

And I literally went, down.

It worked?

Yeah, really.

Hit the ground.

And to say it worked out is an understatement, because there you were,

it won Best Picture at the Oscars. That's incredible.

I mean... That must mean... Oh, yeah.

If that happened, if that turnaround in your life was so fast, you must have

been, like, dizzy the night of the Oscars. Really dizzy. Actually, still.

Is it weird to say that I'm, like, proud of you?

LAUGHTER

I'm saying I'm like, I'm so proud of you.

But it is, I mean, as actors, you know, it is that weird, you know, you take,

you place a bet on yourself.

Well, the knowing that you're talking about, like, against all odds, just like

the fact that you had that voice saying, no, you've got to hold on, this is it. I

know. He either crossed that bridge or just died on it because there was no, I

mean, I was never going to make it, for sure. There was no chance.

It was like this or nothing.

And that's why just the stars aligned and...

A miracle.

A miracle. And for you, Catherine, you know, that trajectory of

being back in Wales doing youth theatre, and then there you are at the Oscars,

winning an Oscar for Chicago.

Yes?

I mean, that must be such... Just validation on an extraordinary scale.

I think, like, as, you know, Sylvester said, you know...

that we have an inherent... It's a dream bake, you know? It's an inherent thing

that actors have, that when they knock you down, they knock you down, you know,

you're like the... You just pounce back up and you say, come on, bring it on,

take it again, because you're just so passionate about your craft.

And so when that happened to me, I couldn't have... I didn't dream that

big, you know?

But it was one of those, again, everything was aligned.

I was able to do singing and dancing in a great executed musical on celluloid,

which, I mean, they're either really good or they're really bad, you know?

And really rare. Yeah, and rare. And it was a wonderful experience.

And often we might have a guest on the show who I can't talk to at this point

because they haven't been to the Oscars, but happily... Oh, my God, you have

been! I just remembered, I've also been!

Yes, you have!

Many times.

And for you, it must be a lovely, lovely memory, because you got to take your

mum. I took my mum, yes. I took both my parents the first time I went for a film

called Hacksaw Ridge, and my dad was a...

My dad worked in LA and he was obsessed But when he was when he was younger in

his 20s when he was raising me and my brother he was we were living and

working in LA and he would he had like a moving company in LA and He had a secret

desire to be a screenwriter. He never he never followed that dream We are the

unmet dreams of our parents. I think in some way But he never really told me

that until later in his life. And he would tell me the story of driving past

the Fox lot and imagining, oh, what's going on in there? I want to be a part

of that so much.

And I had a surprise for him the night before because there's this night before

party that always happens at a specific place.

And I said to my mum and dad, I was like, so there's a party I want to take

you guys to.

And we're just driving through LA. He's telling stories from every block and

every corner. Well, this is where I moved that person. This is where I did

that. And he was like, oh, we're coming up to the fox lot. I was like, yeah,

tell the story about the fox lot and the blah, blah, blah.

And we get to the fox lot and we turn in to the fox lot. Right, right. And the

gates open and he's like, what's happening? I'm like, well, this is where

the party is, Pops.

And he just looks at me and he starts...

It was so beautiful to be able to give him... Because he sacrificed so much

for me and my brother to be able to have the lives that we have and to be able to

give him back just a little bit of that. And then my mum got so drunk and she

never drank. She wasn't a big drinker. She would have, like, half a glass of

wine if she was anybody's.

Literally. A faithful woman.

That night, she happened to be Jack Black's. Jack Black... Jack Black just

grabbed her. I don't know how it happened, but they were dancing together

on the dance floor. My dad was kind of there and I was kind of there, but it

was mostly her and Jack Black.

And Jack Black was so... So, tell me, is it nature or is it nurture?

Because you must be so proud of him, and she was a very...

demure, very retiring, shy Essex girl, my mum, she grabs Jack Black's lapels

and goes, it's me, it was all me.

Very good.

Now...

Catherine Zeta-Jones is coming home, everybody.

Yes, she plays Jackie Price in the new crime series Kill Jackie.

It's streaming on Prime Video from today.

It's so fun. I would say you are so good in it. Before we get into it, let's have

a little taste of Kill Jackie.

Here we go.

Do you ever get that feeling when things go bad?

Like there's something much worse coming for you?

Well, you knew I wasn't always in art.

What I used to do for a living was...

Something I thought was far behind

looks like it found me.

Jackie, what is happening?

Someone hired the seven demons.

They are professional assassins.

Genuine psychopaths. Fuck off! I didn't sign up for this!

Get on the plane, Sam.

They come in for me and anyone I know. Where is Jackie Price?

This is fucking insane!

You might be right about that.

Did you really bite off someone's ear in London?

That was a small misunderstanding.

Congratulations on the series.

It's... It's such a gift of a part. Tell us about Jackie Price.

Well, I read a book, I was given a book by my producer, a 300-page book, which

I...

And there's not one female character in it. And so you're like, whoa, whoa,

wait, wait, wait, wait.

So Jack, it was called The Price You Pay, it's a marvellous book.

But Jack, we made into Jackie, who was living and made a lot of money in the

dark underworld of the drug scene.

Got very good at it.

Got into...

Dealing with art in a dubious way tax-free free ports in and out RG And

she thinks and now someone is after her the seven demons after seven

Psychopathic assassins are after and she thinks her past has come back to haunt

her So when I this was early days where I just had the book and we started

creating the scripts and I had this epiphany I woke up and I went Jackie

Price is Welsh.

LAUGHTER Jackie Price is not only Welsh, she's from Swansea.

She's never been to the Mumbles, it's too posh down there.

She's Welsh. So I told my producers, they were like, really, Welsh? Huh,

interesting.

So, anyway, she was Welsh in my head, and then once that clicked in...

she became the part that... Because it's crazy.

I mean, it's high-octane energy.

She's crazy, she's...she's really crazy.

And it was one of those parts where, you know, I'm 50, I just got my birthday,

I'm 57, to have that... Happy birthday!

But to have that kind of role where I get to... The first time you see me, I

knock someone out with a glass bowl and bite his ear off. It was satisfying, to

say the least. Yes!

And also, you seem like you're having just fun in it, and I wonder, is part of

that... Is this the first time you've ever acted using your own accent? First

time in my life.

Wow. Well, actually, you can clap.

Actually, I've done Dylan Thomas.

Tony Hopkins directed me in that. And then I just did another film with

Anthony Hopkins called Visit To Grandpa, which is an adaptation of... That's a

movie. But before that, I'd never even... I'd never shot in Wales.

I've shot all over the world, Malaysia, you know, Australia, everywhere, but

I've never even filmed in Wales. And going home, Graham... I'm going to cry.

Going home...

was just so incredibly wonderful. I'm going to cry.

To see people in this, you know, waving... Wait a minute, did you

bring those?

Yeah.

I've never seen them before in my life. Sorry.

Waving out of the windows, you know, welcome home, Kath, what are you doing?

How's your mam?

You know, it was really... It wasn't a full circle, because I'm just getting

started again, but it was very...

Very fulfilling again, you talk about the fights and they are extraordinary

like that that the ear biting scene is amazing So what was that presumably you

didn't actually find them?

No It was really gross I really have to put it it was a piece

of latex. You don't have to say anything It was a big piece of low latex And

then when I had to drink this red

Very you know healthy they said drink push it around and I tell you something

I got I'm really good at doing that stuff The director said hey see that

actor. Can you just spit the earlobe like in that area? I went yeah

Take after take after take after take it

landed and even I did a little roll and I

Because your kind of big Hollywood break, The Mask of Zorro, were you doing

all the sword fights? Yes, I was.

Rob Anderson was an Olympian and we trained for three months. It was really

quick, though.

No, we didn't say it was three months. It was like three weeks we trained for.

But we trained all the way through the six-month shoot. So when we got to the

scene with Antonio Banderas, yeah, I loved that. I was so lucky to be able

to... That was like the big break for me in America. But does being a dancer make

that easier to learn those choreographed fights?

It does.

Because it's like love scenes and stunt scenes are like dancing. It's all

choreographed. Yeah. You know, it really is, yeah. I put my hand here, you put

your hand here, or I go there... You know, it's all one of the same, really.

Cos in terms of, you know, fights and stunts, we had Tom Cruise on the show

last week, who famously does all the stunts. But before, long before Tom, in

Rambo, those big things... You were doing most of those stunts yourself,

weren't you? Yeah, unfortunately, I did.

I'm paying for it, trust me.

Yeah.

I tell you, don't do... Like, there is a morality, don't do your own stunts,

because after you turn 60, you're going to grow a hump here, your hand's going

to curl, it catches up to you, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because, you know, obviously, you were in great shape in Rocky.

Yeah. But to see your body transform in Rambo, was that when you kind of pulled

the ripcord and just decided to get... Yeah, you know, it's kind of a thing

that you... Like, that's...

Who's that skinny bastard?

Yeah, the thing is, why I took my shirt off, because you're getting burnt and

bit and the whole thing, so, like... Guys don't run around like this in the

jungle. You've got to cover it up.

So he's not too bright.

That guy went to beauty school, for sure.

That's a beautician.

Right, let's move on to cars. Andrew Garfield brings us an epic historical

drama. It's called The Uprising. It's in cinemas from next Friday. That's October

9th. And here is a taste of the trailer.

The Uprising.

The king is the law.

He says pay taxes, you pay taxes.

Enough! We've given you enough!

I shouldn't have done that. I'm a farmer.

Rebel armies, converge on London.

There will be no peace until we are free.

Listen. Can you not hear their rage?

Crush them.

Once we draw blood, we open the gates of hell.

For all that you've taken from us.

All that we've lost.

Time to pay.

It's an extraordinary story.

My excuse is I grew up in Ireland, so I knew nothing about this story. Yeah,

yeah. So, tell us about the Peasants' Revolt and the part your character plays

in. Yeah, just a quick history lesson for all of us. It'll be good, it'll be

good. The year was... The year was 1381.

No, I think a lot of us, a lot of us English people, British people, learnt

it in school, but I think it was from the perspective of the people who won,

which is, like, the King and John of Gaunt and the people that crushed...

the ordinary folk. So this is a story, and it's directed by Paul Greengrass,

one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. I remember seeing you in 1993 when

I was in drama school, and I was alone in my local cinema, and I was screaming

at the screen. He's a filmmaker that puts you right in the middle. He was a

documentarian first, and now he's made Captain Phillips, the Bourne movies.

He's just an incredible, incredible filmmaker. So he's training his talents

on this.

this first popular uprising that happened in England in 1381, and it's a

population that's coming out of the Black Death, which wiped out 50% of

Europe, and...

taxes were being raised.

There was a small group of very, very powerful people, oligarchs, that were

controlling all of the wealth and all of the power and kind of hoarding it for

themselves. And there was a huge gap between them and the common folk.

And people's souls were getting squeezed to the point of saying...

there's something deeply wrong. I'm not being treated with any dignity.

I have no dignity left.

So I'm going to fight to change the world. I'm going to fight to put the

world in order. And it was a proper communal effort.

And it was a very, very inspiring and complicated story.

And it feels like it does have some kind of political, I don't know, mirror image

reflection for the times we're in. It feels like a very... I read the script

and it's hard to find scripts right now that feel like... talk to the very

confused very very

difficult and disparate divided times we're in and this felt like a bit of a

cry of the soul and I'm very excited to share it with people but but also it's

it's kind of in the vein of a Braveheart or a gladiator there's kind of like an

epic action sweep to it with with big epic feelings in the in the in the

center of it as well and there are big set action pieces yeah big battles and

things like that but but then there are quieter moments I was very impressed by

your plowing thank you

It's a real ploughing, and you're doing it... Honestly, I was watching and

thinking, that's a very straight line.

You know what I mean? Yeah. Because there aren't many people... It's a lost

art. Yeah, it's a lost... Exactly. It's a lost art.

It is a lost art. It is a lost art. Even, like, it's so much of a lost art

that I was working... See the rump of the ox there?

Oh, yes.

This is an ox called Prince.

And he was a beautiful boy. He was a really good boy. And I worked with him

for three weeks.

to just bond.

Because, you know, I'm playing a character that's lost his wife, lost his

kids, so, like, all he has left, really, is his ox.

It's big and warm.

And, honestly, the ox was the main source of central heating at that time.

The ox would sleep in the house with me during medieval times. Me, I'm an actor.

I'm an actor wearing a watch. Like, what am I talking about?

It's not me.

But, anyway, I worked with the ox, we were plants, Every day for three weeks.

He was pulling that straight line.

He was really a really good boy I gave him a lot of hay and carrots and he was

we we had an amazing time and there's something that happened on when the

cameras arrived and we was time for him to just do the King plowing I Think he

kind of became cognizant of the fact that Technology has evolved.

I think he realized Why am I plowing?

2025.

You have machinery.

I'm a modern ox.

I'm better than this. I'm not... I didn't consent.

Yeah.

I didn't sign any contracts. The oxen revolt.

The revolt of Prince. As you're talking of farms and farm animals,

of course, in this country, the thing that...

catapulted you to fame was the Darling Buds of May, which you must have had to

work with. Yeah, I know.

You must have had to work with so many animals on that. Yeah, we did.

We were down in a village called Pluckley in Kent, and that host house,

that farm, we spent months there. Yeah, we had everything, yeah. I was a horse

lover, Mariette Larkin was, yeah, but...

We had these geese that were just nasty, man.

Geese are nasty.

They chase you around and try and snap at your legs.

They eat bulldogs.

I mean, they're tougher than they look. They look goofy?

No, they'll take you behind the barn and beat the hell out of you.

Swans, geese, ducks.

We had serious issues with the geese. Yeah.

A cameraman would drop the camera and go running off into the bluebell woods.

And just to go back to the steps for a moment, the actual steps... No, no,

there's a link to animals. The actual steps in Rocky, when you're filming

that, so that scene was supposed to be very different.

It was quite different because, first of all, it was hard to get up them in the

beginning because we were stealing scenes.

It was non-union and we had union guys...

coming after us eventually caught us and put sand in the generator but it was

right before they caught us and i remember i was there i think it was 11

12 years old and these steps really look like literally you're in heaven so i

said okay let's run here run by a boat run down the train tracks let's go to

the steps so i go okay rocky's getting strong now i need something to

demonstrate that how powerful he's become so we got a bull master bull

master the size of your cow Yeah. It was literally like picking up another four

-legged man.

It was huge.

So I go... Goddamn!

Oh, my God.

I had, like, two stabs. I go, is that a hernia or is that a new muscle?

What's that bump coming from? And I thought...

What would have been so dumb if it had worked, like running over the dog? But

the dog is bigger than me.

I was reading about it and going, well, he couldn't run up steps carrying a dog.

And then I saw a picture of you and Butkus, the dog. I mean, that is a lot

of dogs. His paws are like, damn.

Snowshoes. And was he your dog?

Oh, yeah. What was his name? That's the one I had to sell.

What was his name?

Butkus. Which is an interesting look. Bud Kiss was a very famous football

player who was terrifying.

And he was legendary.

Dick Bud Kiss.

So... You'd have to grow up to be terrifying.

I'm in Hollywood now, coming out of Four Seasons Hotel, and

there's this guy who goes, Hey!

You think I look like a dog?

Dick Bud Kiss.

It looks like him.

And I said, only because it's so brave and fearless and ferocious. And then he

goes, all right.

You know what I mean?

Size 12 head.

I love that you put it in the football shirt. No, he's going to plant me right

there. Like, boom.

Oh, he was.

But of course, I don't know about you.

But every time I have a great time on a movie... It's not so good. ..it bumps.

It bumps.

Every time I'm miserable and, like... I know that shoot was miserable.

Yeah, it was tough.

It's really tough. What he did, guys, outdoors, there's no hotels, it's

miserable. Bugs and... And that's the ones that are successful.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I hope you're having a horrible time tonight.

Fingers crossed!

Very good.

Right, it is time for music. Since dressing on the scene ten years ago,

this Brit-nominated stockport band have had four number one albums. Here

performing Husband from their new album Songs From The Wedding Cake, please

welcome Blossoms!

I think that's the cure to literally when they said boys don't cry.

No, no, that's not me.

Make way for my confession.

It's genetic, you see. I'm just like my old man. Not just a nose emotionally.

Yeah, but I found that beat. Come back to me. I'm a husband now.

When all is clear, no fear.

Oh, I'm a husband now.

So come and get over me Come and get over me

I think I said the wrong thing. Now I'm scrambling.

And this bone of contention has potential to be the thing that makes you

want to leave.

But I want you. I need you. And I found that beat.

Come back to me. I'm a husband now.

When all is clear, no fear.

So come and get up with me.

Come and get up with me.

Come and get up with me.

Come and get up with me.

I know you think those vows last forever, but you know we gotta

work for it, baby.

I'll be your algorithm. Let's stay together.

Cause love's its own self.

Work for it, baby We've gotta work for it, baby

Work for it, baby

We've got to work for it, baby.

Work for it, baby.

We've got to work for it, baby.

I know you think those vows last forever, but you know we've got to work

for it, baby. I think you should know that I've found my feet. Come back to

me. I'm a husband now.

is clear no fear now so come and get up with

me come and get on me come

and get on me come and get on with me

Salmon Joe, coming over.

Here you go, mind the step, mind the step. So lovely to see you again.

Welcome back.

Thank you. Here you go, Andrew Patterson, the best drinker. Nice to see

you again.

Andrew Patterson, the best drinker. Pleasure, man. There you go.

Thank you so much. Lovely, there you go. Oh, yeah, bit of... Come on.

Yeah, you had to take the hand of greatness. There you go.

Thank you so much for that. Yeah, you've earned your drink. Get it down you. That

was fantastic.

This is from the brand-new album, which is out today.

Songs from The Wedding Cake. There it is in vinyl.

Looking good.

Apart from... Apart from providing you with some really cool artwork, why the

name of the album?

So, a lot of the songs were about where I'm at in my life now. I married a man

of 33.

Congratulations. Yeah.

I don't know, I was writing songs and once you've got a few songs together,

you're then trying to find something to encapsulate the whole thing. So I had a

song called Joke About Divorce.

And then Husband.

So I was like, OK, there's a bit of a theme there, isn't there? Yeah. So I was

like, it needs to kind of... Something needs to sum that up.

And I liked the songs from Idea in my head, but I didn't have the, where's it

from? And I got married at Stockport Town Hall and its nickname...

Because it's a tiered kind of shape, isn't it? There you go. Oh, there it is.

Its nickname is The Wedding Cake, so that's why it's called Songs From The

Wedding Cake. So it's technically songs from Stockport Town Hall, basically. OK.

It's not as good, though. It sounds better.

I think you made the right choice.

But you guys, like, you've taken the wedding theme quite seriously.

Very seriously, yeah. So how many weddings have you performed at now?

Yeah, so we crashed about... Was it three? Yeah. Yeah, we crashed three

weddings in the back of a van.

But people have asked you to do it. There you go, the curtain side of it.

Yeah, we asked people to write in if they'd want us to play at the wedding.

Oh, that's wicked. We sort of regretted doing it because we had loads of emails.

I'm still getting it. We're not doing any more, by the way.

I love that everyone is so loving the fact that blossoms have shown up at the

wedding. Apart from that lady.

It was like going back to the old days, and you're kind of looking out at the

crowd and you're like, that guy's really bored and he's not bothered, do you know

what I mean?

But then by the end, he's like, he's got a cigar on, he's vibing.

Yeah, yeah, we won him over. And in November, you're going on tour and it's

a bit bigger than that van.

It is, yeah.

Yeah, this is all arenas. Yeah.

Congratulations.

So that's this November, so it's soon? In a couple of years. Oh, right.

So you're packing already?

Yeah, we're thinking we might take the drapes from here, actually.

Honestly, it looks great. No, honestly, I was like, where did you get the carpet

from? No, we actually did. We actually asked them. It's the same second name as

me. Can they have the carpet? Of course.

They said it.

Graham said it.

Has it all?

You'll see me walking out with a roll of carpet.

When is next week when there's just cardboard?

Guys, thank you so much for playing Fully Live.

It sounded great. Thanks for the performance.

Good luck with the album and good luck with the tour.

Blossoms, everybody!

Right,

that's nearly it. Before we go, just time for a quick visit to the big red

chair. Who do we have? Hello, sir.

Hello. Hello. What's your name? My name is Daniel.

Oh, lovely.

That's a full name. Google him.

I'll just ask you again, because people do Google people and it turns nasty.

So I'll just ask you for your first name this time.

So, hello, what's your name, sir?

My name is Daniel.

Daniel. Hello, Daniel. And what do you do?

I work in cyber security.

OK. A full name. Why would you give us a full name? You work in cyber security

and you gave me your full name. No-one's Googling him.

That's definitely not his name.

So, Daniel, you work in cyber security, and where are you from?

I'm originally from Spain, but I live in London now. Oh, lovely. How long have

you lived here?

Six years.

OK, so you're liking it.

Off you go with your story, sir.

Well, when I was 13 years old, I realised that every time I would sneeze,

I would sneeze an odd number of times, I kept track, and it's been...

What took you so long?

Sebastian said, what took you so long?

It definitely wasn't his name, but he definitely was in cyber security.

Why would you say any of that out loud?

Do we have one more?

Yeah, go on.

Yeah, high hopes, high hopes here. Here we go.

Hello. Hello. Hi, what's your name?

Just ask you again, unless that isn't your name. Is that your name? That's my

name. OK, I'll ask you again and we'll just get a Rita, because people, they

actually find you if you say you... It's, you know... So dark.

Welcome to show business.

Hello, what's your name? Rita.

Lovely. And where are you from, Rita?

From Spanish Point in County Clare in Ireland.

Oh, lovely.

Lovely. Spanish Point, very popular. Very popular.

And what do you do in Spanish Point?

I'm retired. I'm a retired teacher.

OK, well, off you go with your story.

So, I have a real problem in mixing up phrases and mixing up words and things

like that.

So, back in the 90s, when I was getting married, myself and my husband had gone

to the church to speak to the parish priest, and we were talking about the

music that we had to have and the classes that we needed before we got

married, etc.

Yes. But the whole time I was looking at this priest, he had a big black mark.

like dirt on his forehead so i'm looking at this priest and at the very end i say

father can i just tell you you've got a big black mark on your foreskin and

my husband and his faces just went oh and i realized then what i'd done

that really is all we've got time for please say you thank you to all my

guests tonight bottoms andrew garfield
