a little bit won't you miss looking like that yes know what people say to me how do I get ripped how do I get like that and I'm like man really it's too much effort for what it's worth like it takes a lot a lot of dedication a lot of time a lot of pain a lot of steamed chicken and not much fun like life don't do it it's not worth look 7 life out of Tanana be so much happier life is like enough your job is my husband is to look like crap that is your type how old were you when you kind of sort of working professionally in a business I think I was 13 when I got my first Disney Channel gig yeah and now you're in your early twenties now yeah was it was that your show your face yeah that was my first no it was shaking up that's my first Disney Disney show and that was uh yeah 13 years old Wow is that younger than you Zach are you were younger than that I was though yeah you were 13 on disease you know I was when I was 13 I was I think I was auditioning for my first play like local community theater my parents tricked me into auditioning for my first play Tony we were going to Toys R Us and we've got a strum you know how old are you here 13 how do you make your hair like that I went to a performing arts school and I'd lied about my age and said it was high school and I wasn't and I there were a lot of older girls there that were just fun to hang out with and they did that picture of the young Hugh Jackman can you see the boy who really wants to perform [Laughter] [Applause] totally focused on the camera the opposition would terrify is the greatest showman it's showing everywhere now it really is a festive treat it's a big musical extravaganza telling the story of PT Barnum who sort of originated what we think of as a circus so before we talk about it here's a taste of what to expect so tell me do you [Music] [Music] no one ever made a difference by being like everyone else [Applause] it's one of those things where you were like the part and you it's such a great fit you you seem to love being the showman I was seven a half years ago approached but yes I do I do kind of love it I'm a ham I'm a ham from way back and somehow I feel really comfortable on a stage I always have and I was involved in the very beginning so if I'm not good in this part I literally will never be good again because it was a dream for me for all of us well Zacks done of four times before but to be musical is a drink and and it doesn't come along all that often yeah and so we spent seven years we wanted to do something original original music and I think the music is phenomenal and we wanted to tell the story of the guy who pretty much invented show business yeah I love how that's pretty bad that you were so gung-ho was the first read-through where you couldn't help yourself he was so he did four workshops over four years so the final read-through there were about 80 people and every single one of them with a checkbook in there like so it was will this or will ánot happen based on this one performance we had an eight-piece Orchestra we had everyone there performing and the day before I had had skin cancer operations so I've had three or four of them and I had to get it done and so I I had 80 stitches in my nose and I plus up said great I'm back to rehearsal there to sing tomorrow knee goes dark there's like no no no you can't seem to Mauro you know because in May the stitches may come apart and I said you don't understand this is our make-or-break I've got a scene he goes you can't sing tomorrow so I went in made the announcement to everyone that I couldn't sing and someone was there to sing the songs for me but when it came to from that one which is the last number I was just so taken up by the moment I thought I'd seen the first line so I sang the first line I say in the second line are saying the third line and then I was saying I finished this song I mean it was a pretty good showbiz moment and I everyone seemed to be happy and I was like right and I felt this trickle and I went oh I went away and I went back to the doctor and had to have a bunch of those stitches redone and zendaya I'm an wheeler I'm a trapeze artist who falls in love with this guy yeah I sort of play made up character Carlisle and I I'm like a writer struggling or very depressed but successful and has a lot of money that PT Barnum convinces me to come with them and sort of help him on his journey to show business I want his money being bendy and doing the 2pz thing was there about when I thought you you overexerted yourself it was it in front of you okay see here's what happened all right so we're doing I'm not gonna name the person because it's embarrassing okay the point is we're doing a stunt in front of Hugh Jackman now I have very few scenes with Hugh Jackman and I was very nervous it was not you I was on my you know my A game cuz this is Hugh Jackman I do not want to mess up so we're doing this this this this thing where I'm basically up in the air and I spin down and I get caught and I heard a fart as a professional I was gonna carry on it was not me want to clarify right here right now who's not me so they're laughing the other person okay is laughing and he was laughing I'm like okay I were you just gonna like the tip if I ever farted from yea it would definitely be silent but deadly out dancing in showman I know that Michael Jackson was a real hero of yours now you you did you meet him well you didn't meet him there was a no no I never no no I talked to him on the phone yes how did that happen I would how did it happen I was I was in Paris and I was with Kenny Ortega we were promoting High School Musical 3 I want to say I was probably 20 maybe 20 21 at the time and we were at dinner and somehow I got at that was at the head of the table and Kenny was on the other side of the table our director can your taya guy and his phone rang and I remember I got this look like you want this I was like okay so I came over and it's like what's what's going on he goes it's Michael Jackson I'm like and I was like Hello and I heard this is Zac Efron I'm a massive fan and I'm an actor and you're like my hero and I didn't know what to say I was like kind of I was just at a loss for words and rambling on and he said that's really nice can you hand the phone back to Kenny and I was freaking out like I just talked to Michael Jackson he's my hero just trippin and I sat back down just a little dizzy and then all of a sudden the phone rang again and Kenny answered and I saw him kind of confused across the table and and he like looked to me again he's like you want to stick okay and he hands the phone he goes okay and I picked up the phone I was like Hello he goes oh this is Zach from high school musical and I was like yeah and he was like oh I love what you do I'm a huge fan and I lost it lost my balance I think I fell over in the wall I started I was like like literally I was just making a like slid down to the floor pathetically and professed how much I love Tim said like you're my hero you're the reason I do what I do like thank you so much Michael for everything and thanks for showing me how to dance how to be you know how did believe in myself out of how to I don't know how to shine you know and that made him cry crying to each other on the phone and he ended the whole phone call conversation with something along lines of hey Zach and I like stop crying for a second isn't it isn't it awesome and I was like what and he goes dreams really do come true down [Music] now in terms of circus in the world of circus oddly you gentlemen this isn't your first foray you did some fine clown work I did earlier in your life I was a clown of kids parties I think we've got a picture of it's a rented costume oh come on Bozek we really put zero thought into this but at the time and I was very good with a three year olds of four-year-olds party because I really just dress up you're done yeah yeah yeah and I remember once getting a little cocky and I did an eight-year-olds birthday party all you are hired to do is to keep the kids occupied for an hour we've got some mums and dads here so that mums and dads can drink five minutes into my stick this little eight-year-old kid who I hate to this day stands up mom dad this clown is crap and I pull out the thing I would I would juggle eggs I could juggle eggs and then occasionally I would crack one of the yeah so I just said hit kids eggs that were throwing eggs happening we walked out took off the wig and I never went back again that was it it seems like the procedure to learn special skills yeah and you can properly juggle Kenny I used to be on a juggle because tonight tonight because it's the greatest showman you know we were thinking about people's skills and special skills yeah so so there's thing those things like cuz right I'm not fruit if you want to talk about Douglas election fruit should we go oranges go oranges oranges [Applause] now

professionals are having trouble I do a mean Wolverine Wolverine then audience very good why not think about [Music] [Applause] we first met this bafta-winning actress on Coronation Street then as one half of Scotland Bailey but she truly grips the nation in the monster head dr. Foster please welcome Saran Joe [Applause] so showbiz Happy New Year Happy New Year we're Eve or something whatever it is it's making me a bit nervous with their tongues what Paulie is that special fighting it a bit like a dog that has had peanut butter no you weren't you weren't back here no no we try but she wouldn't see no it's too nervous I get very nervous before I come on things so kind of loud into you yeah we have met be fine oh we met at the river yeah good memory yeah with my husband as well is this mean of me this like you needed me but people you know we give interviews people ask a stupid question to be answered them yeah so in 2013 do you remember you were asked in a questionnaire what your greatest weakness was if I wasn't sat next to you Joe I would answer you but you're gonna say it anyway yes you said coffee her new Jackman [Applause] I went on to marry someone who also loved you and when we met he was winding me up before we met and he was getting knives I'm putting them on eat I'm saying when I meet you I am gonna do this because he loves Wolverine and we had a massive argument cuz I said why would you do that why can't you say you were great in the play nice to meet you we met and he's my husband didn't say boo to a goose stood in a corner and we went hi how are you he was so disappointed that you couldn't that you weren't like Wolverines really I think because you walk out that mighty roar and you as an actress you you were in the most popular show in Britain or in Coronation Street then Scott Bailey everyone loved that but dr. Foster you must have thought I'm really famous and then dr. Foster came along I know it's just gone mental yeah I've not done a show where people have just been behind it and also because you couldn't binge watch it you had to watch it once a week it had that kind of water-cooler effect and and you know for a character that was quite mental at times especially in season two yes yeah people loved it but also it was quite graphic so that must have been odd for you then just surround Jones doing a shopping I remember I told you this before but I was um I was in the woods with my two-year-old nearly two-year-old and I've done this big hate sex scene where there's lots of you know things going on in the kitchen I hope they wipe down the surfaces after that and you know but you know you do these things and you're just kind of like and I'm with my son and my son's just wants to pick up sticks or do you know sing songs with me in the woods and then people come in passing who saw you last night in that scene that was quite some I might yeah but not now resting you are arrested because you straight back to work presumably in the New Year in rehearsals a new play it's called frozen not the Disney version no I think that poster isn't good enough to avoid it's a 21st of February it's at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London and it's not just you it's a really strong cast its Jason Watkins and Nina Sonya's it's who oddly they're both in w1a together I know which is a comedy and again ours isn't really comedy this sounds quite yeah yeah it's a psychological thriller three hundo and it's about a woman who loses her child to child goes missing and then she gets the opportunity to meet the person that was responsible for that and I read somewhere where how you feel because you're a newish mom that has kind of affected your brain when you read a script like this it could have a different switches been flicked do you know I don't know how you guys feel but so when I became a mom or I was pregnant I start I was attracted by like missing children because I've done three like dr. Foster and then I'm in a sky luntik thing called save me and that's about a missing child and then frozen is about missing so I must have been in the headspace where it was like the total opposite to one I was so happy in my marriage in having a new baby that I was drawn to these really dark stories I mean it does stop after this one she's got a kid not for long Cornish how long were you in Carter Street four years do you have any to it for you old you jackman knows what it is zendaya Zack no I've heard that I've heard of it yes because you were you know that's a huge deal to get a gig in Coronation Street oh god I mean you know I'm northern working-class oh my family just loved Coronation Street and and I used to audition all the time like almost every week because this theater school that I went to they just get all the kids in to audition all the time and they were trying to find a part for me and yeah my oh my Nana Bertha and my granddad Bob were like you know Spielberg Coronation Street Coronation Street it's been all downhill since then yeah would you not go back cuz k Madonna that she loved a good rock lots of it a lot of them were their husbands Steve look at that look at that some of them in the pub his I think guessing this is a Patrick's Day oh come on that's a good fight no sadly no one told her she wasn't shot Jesus planning her menu for dinner this

Gary we need you on the set one of your first jobs you were in cabaret the music rapper yeah but it wasn't play playing say no yeah well you all know this the outgoing song I had a cappella five platter harmony and the outgoing song the last note is my starting note and I would take it from the piano and I would be backstage mm-hmm hear the note come out set up the lights would come up and I would start singing and these five Boy Scouts were all you know around the campfire thing and I am one night only one night thank heavens but instead of taking the note from the piano the trumpet in the band the trumpet drowned it out so I took the note from the trumpet which is it with the same note but it's impure it's not it's not the same as the piano and I get the note in my head mmm come out and I start singing and I realize I've started an octave too then it goes up back in the day I could I was like 20 so I started singing and suddenly realized oh my god I'm so I'm so off these five guys who had by then stopped harmonized thing of fun they are singing with veins and these five just five backs I remember I was in an amateur production of West Side Story in the eastern suburbs of Sydney and Ike and I had toned the role of Tony and it's a very high tenor role and I was I'm a baritone a high baritone at the time I could not sing those notes and I said guys I don't see their notes you'll be fine I said but I can't sing that you'll be fine and every night I would go out there every night there was three performances Maria Marie into the sound on the wings let me down the sound guy in the wings is like I mean it's fantastic reviews Joe Wright directed it opens here on the 12th of January it's a very specific time in the war for Winston Churchill yeah it's really five or six weeks 1940 Neville Chamberlain has resigned from the Premiership Churchill steps in there are troops in Dunkirk which we you know the this fear that will lose 300,000 soldiers in Dunkirk and also on the on the table is it's a it's a peace deal with Hitler and it deals with not only the crisis in Dunkirk but whether we will capitulate and basically surrender and do a do a deal with with Hitler so it's a very specific very defining my little moment in our history and also in Churchill's career and we'll talk about it's more but let's show people just a bit of your transformation into Winston Churchill you cannot reason with a tiger when your head it's one of the option in things like this the make up the wings can get in the way and it's it's beautiful I think it's I would say it's a benchmark in prosthetic makeup and would it take hours would it take hours or the whole thing took four hours okay so there's a face it's the fat suit and the clothes yes and and and but the attention to detail the the the cigars you you chose the special cigar I did well I did and I used to smoke I don't I don't smoke anymore and I got nicotine poisoning because I was on about 12 a day I

had a Christmas break and everybody went off and decorated their Christmas trees and went out shopping and I went and had a colonoscopy every day pretty much they just just it was it it was just it
