>> James: THAT WAS A
CLIP FROM "NO TIME TO DIE," WHICH OPENS ONLY IN THEATERS,
TOMORROW. CONGRATULATIONS ON THE MOVIE TO
BOTH OF YOU. I LOVED IT. I FOUND IT MOVING, VERY
EMOTIONAL, ACTUALLY. RAMI, YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT
VILLAIN IN THIS FILM. I'M INTERESTED TO KNOW WHEN YOU
GET THE CALL TO SAY WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE IN A BOND-- HOW DOES
IT HAPPEN. THEY JUST DAY DO YOU WANT TO BE
A BOND VILLAIN, DO YOU JUST SAY YES. >> YES. >> James: YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO
THINK OF IT AT ALL. >> NO, OF COURSE NOT, IT IS THE
GREATEST FRANCHISE WE'VE KNOWN. BACKBONE OF CINEMATIC HISTORY. IT'S BOND. AND IT'S HIS LAST ONE. JONATHAN: YEAH. >> NO-BRAINER. >> James: YOU WERE JUST IN. >> OF COURSE. >> James: IT IS SUCH AN
INTERESTING PREMISE. I WONDER IF 2 WILL EVER HAPPEN
AGAIN THAT THERE WOULD BE A ROLE THAT IS PASSED ON AND DIFFERENT
ACTORS TAKE ON THAT ROLE. AND I FEEL LIKE, AND I THOUGHT
THIS DURING THE LAST MOVIE REALLY, THAT YOU MORE THAN ANY
OTHER ACTOR SORT OF HE SOLVED THE CHARACTER AND HE SOLVED THE
WORLD OF BOND PERHAPS MORE THAN NIBBLES WHO PLAYED IT. WAS THAT YOUR INTENTION WHEN YOU
TOOK IT TON? >> KIND-OF, YES-- KIND OF, YES,
I JUST THOUGHT THAT HE WAS-- YOU KNOW, LOTS OF PEOPLE, WERE NOT
HAPPY ABOUT ME PLAYING BOND WHEN I FIRST GOT THE ROLE. AND I THOUGHT WELL I HAVE TO TA
PROACH IT, I AM JUST AN ACTOR, I HAVE TO DIG IN AND FIND OUT WHAT
HE IS ABOUT. HE FELT SO COMPLICATED AND YOU
KNOW, LOTS OF PROBLEMS. I MEAN, AND WE HAVE THIS SORT OF
GREAT SPIRIT AT THE BEGINNING, HE FALLS MADLY IN LOVE WITH
SOMEBODY AND IT'S THE THE-- EVERY TIME HE CAME TO MAKE
ANOTHER MOVIE, SOMETIMES WE SAID LET'S MAKE A STAND ALONE. JUST A BOND MOVIE AND WE NEVER
COULD LEAVE THAT STORY ALONE, IT ALWAYS CAME INTO THE PLOT. SO SHOW WE HAD THIS NARRATIVE
ALL THE WAY THROUGH, AND THAT, I DON'T KNOW THAT FEELS VERY
UNIQUE AND I'M INCREDIBLY PROUD OF THE FACT WE HAVE DONE THAT. BUT IT REALLY FEELS LIKE IT TIED
THEM ALL TOGETHER. >> James: YOU SAID THERE WERE
LOTS OF PEOPLE WHO WEREN'T HAPPY, I DON'T ACTUALLY REMEMBER
THAT THE WAY THAT WE ALL-- THAT OFF US HUNG ON TO EVERYTHING
EVER SAID ABOUT US. WHEN THEY ANNOUNCE THE NEXT
PERSON, WHOEVER THAT IS GOING TO BE, THERE WILL WITHOUT QUESTION
BE PERHAPS MORE THAN EVER IN THE WAY THAT THE WORLD IS RIGHT
KNOW, THERE WILL BE MORE DISCUSSION AND OUTRAGE BECAUSE
OUTRAGE IS NOW A HUGE CURRENCY OF THE INTERNET, WHAT ADVICE
WOULD YOU GIVE TO WHOEVER THAT PERSON IS WHEN THAT NOISE STARTS
TO BLOW UP AROUND THEM. WHAT ADVICE. >> YOU HAVE GOT TO IGNORE IT. YOU HAVE STO LITERALLY, IT IS
LIKE YOU CAN ONLY-- THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. IT IS KIND OF LIKE BULLYING OR
WHATEVER IT IS. YOU HAVE TO BLOCK IT OUT AND GET
ON WITH YOUR BUSINESS. DO YOUR JOB, DO THE BEST YOU CAN
AND THEN YOU KNOW, THAT'S IT REALLY. I MEAN IT'S-- I WENT AND SAW HIM
WHEN I GOT THE TIME, HE WAS BRILLIANT. HE JUST SAID ENJOY THE RIDE. ENJOY IT AND I HAVE BEEN. I JUST STOPPED ENJOYING IT ABOUT
A YEAR AGO. >> James: AND YOU ARE ABOUT TO
MOVE ON, I'M VERY, VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS. YOU AND RUTH NEGGA ARE GOING TO
DO MacBETH ON BROADWAY. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME ANYBODY
HAS SEEN THE PHOTOS OF THIS. NO ONE HAS SEEN THIS BEFORE. NOT A NATURAL ROAD FROM BOND
THAT MANY PEOPLE DO. AND I KNOW, YOU HAVE DONE
SHAKESPEARE, YOU DIDOUTELIO, ROMEO AND JULIET. >> YEAH, YEAH, WITH THE NATIONAL
YOUTH THEATER, NAY, IT-- YEAH, IT WAS-- IT WASN'T GREAT. >> James: WHY WAS IT NOT. >> WE PLAYED TO QUITE EMPTY
HOUSES. WE WERE UP IN NEWCASTLE AND MOST
MATINEES, SCHOOL MATINEES THEY PACKED THEM OUT WITH SCHOOL
KIDS, WHO DID NOT WANT TO BE THERE. >> THAT IS NOT FUN. >> SO THEY WOULD START THROWING,
THEIR OPAL FRUIT, STARBURST, AND YOU GO-- OH MY GOD, THEY'RE
THROWING THINGS. AND IT HURTS WHEN THEY COME FROM
AWHILE. AND AFTER A WHILE I GOT SO SICK
OF IT. I JUST STARTED EATING THEM. >> I BET THEY LOVED THAT. >> OF COURSE. >> WHEN ARE WE GOING TO SEE THIS
GUY TAKE ON A PLAY, WHEN IS HE GOING TO HIT THE BOARDS. >> I LOVE IT, MAN, 2 STARTED OUT
THAT WAY, WENT TO UNIVERSITY TO STUDY THEATER SO IT IS IN MY
BLOOD. I DON'T KNOW WHEN I WILL GO BACK
BUT. >> YOU DEFINITELY SHOULD. >> IF THERE WAS A PLAY YOU COULD
DO, PICK A PLAY, WHAT WOULD IT BE? >> I WOULD LOVE A CRACK AT THE
CRUCIBLE. >> OH YOU WOULD KILL IT. >> WE WILL PLAY IT ALL FOR
LAUGHS. >> YEAH, WE WOULD. WE DEFINITELY WOULD. >> LISTEN, GUYS, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR COMING TO THE SHOW, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU, DANIEL,
ON A PHENOMENAL RUN AS JAMES BOND. I LOVE THIS FILM SO MUCH. BLESS YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE
