"I had a MASSIVE spot!" Keira Knightley on *that* hat from Love Actually.

[Music] Kirra welcome to news that made me thank you very much so let's begin with as you're probably expecting Star Wars Senator Palpatine will need your help either choice presents great danger due at all we are brave your highness what does it feel like to fall off a golf cart in front of you and McGregor one of the truly most embarrassing experiences of my life and what's interesting when you fall off a golf cart in front of you and McGregor is you don't think ow I fallen off a golf cart you think oh that's so embarrassing and I was really only in I was in pants and tight I mean there was nothing good about it I was it was pants tights and like a robe because the costume was so outrageous I couldn't put it on until I got set I will not cooperate so I had like the robe over the kind of pet and and I and the legs went over and you know I didn't it wasn't cool it wasn't cool in my head you were wearing the full headdress dressed as a raven I probably would have died I think my neck could have been broken so it's probably very lucky that I was just in a bathrobe and pants and tights and I've read somewhere that you were a little disappointed that a the force isn't real and be the lightsabers don't work they take work there are no lightsabers well I mean maybe it's different now I don't know but then all they had was well he'd had a pole well they had just what just the handle this is my favorite you know doing that looks just kind of quite cool ash because basically that's what you do when you're a kid and she isn't it I'd like to ask you what is it like when you're talking to r2d2 in all of this like bird-like paraphernalia it is to be commended what is its number yeah within a moment did I talk to r2d2 r2d2 yawns Thank You r2d2 I believe you did it I see this is the problem I was 12 so and I'm now very far away from that so I don't really professor Padme I remember that it was sort of like a bin mm-hmm clean this droid up as best you can it's basically have been on wheels you deserve so glad what is it is it is it still what continues to be should be a bit no improvement lazy I mean they didn't really need to they I mean well-loved oak speak are you sure that I'm certain of it really that's amazing that you don't remember it's time for me to move on to the next okay good if you can't remember hopefully I'm older than 12 because maybe I'll remember a little bit more but maybe not well let's go to defend it like back at which I think you remember I do remember we've got a summer tournament coming up she come along have a trial trial I was 16 we're now moving from 12 to 16 and I did play football at school so actually like that was one of the things that I was super excited about as I got this could you still do one of those football cartwheels when you hit it on the floor and then spin it over your head can you still give it a shot no I I actually there was a friend of mine had five-a-side football tournament recently and they were like oh you can do this I I can't I mean I can't I mean I'm really embarrassing me embarrassingly can't so no I didn't keep any of those skills going I rewatched it for this and he she's a lady remix training montage has to stick in your mind surely it is amazing is it the the beat is incredible the cuts so she's a lady is it is it it's a remix of she's a lady yeah it is extraordin oh no Miriam you score gold off the gold I asked it of that how many how many takes were typically done so no I actually my whole thing my character is meant to be really good at heading the ball and so I that was the major thing that I was practicing it and I did it so often that I knocked myself out so it's possible if you get really really obsessed with heading of all that you can knock yourself out let's talk about part Caribbean because it's a little franchise some people are fond or deal bother do you really intend to kill my rescuer do you do all your own falling off a castle rampart look I'm a bit nervous myself oh yes I don't know and then they made me their chief I don't think so I don't think they would have let me fall off a rampart but I'm not sure that anyone fell off the ramp up I think maybe that was it was it a seizure maybe it wasn't again oh come on I was 17 I don't remember like I don't know I know that I was in the water a lot because again I did like a lot of my own stunts snap that line I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request I want you to leave and never come back I'm disinclined to acquiesce to your request yes that's a big guy listen I just love it means no I do remember that yeah yeah you're all movie sets like that and just think you've got to pinch yourself this is happening yeah I'm organizing you'll be dining with the captain any requests sure where is well you may tell the captain that I am disinclined to acquiesce to his request no I remember because I have to eat in that scene dough night sounds I think I'm eating and I just remember this disgusting turkey level it was like congealed isn't it funny like that's the bits that I remember they're congealed like fat on a cold turkey leg that was just saying and and everything you know I'm gonna be starving cause I haven't eaten for ages and I'm like having to really eat and just being like this is cool Rim I've seen quite a few the bloopers from those movies and there's a bit where you are trying to catch a Cutlass out of thin air I assure you our intentions are strictly honorable did I fail you and Jeffrey actually get it wrong on a number was it just a fun blast shooting those films it felt like it was fun the first one was super fun the first one was super fun because nobody thought it was going to do well because they're always like it's based on a theme park ride this is a disaster and the second - like then I was let a lot more pressure on it boom but I always really really loved doing the stunts I really loved doing with that and I loved the whole stunt team on all of those films were so amazing and you get to deliver something that if I were an actor I'd love doing which is a rallying speech that's my rallying speech isn't it yes the Brethren will still be looking here to us in that outfit in a black powder I love how orange I am then what will they see frightened built rats bought a derelict ship no no they will see free man I do get a bra yeah I like rallying speech who doesn't I know you've never particularly warmed to me don't don't argue we've never got friendly but I just wanted to say I hope that can change I don't think you kill anyone or have an opportunity to hurt yourself and love actually that seems to be a danger friendzone yeah that movies legacy continues I'm imagining when you shot it you went it's a silly Christmas film no when we shot because it was the first time Richard Curtis is directed and so there was a lot of there was a lot of hype around it and then actually when it came out it didn't do as well as everybody thought it was going to do and particularly not in America so what's extraordinary about it is that it then may be from about five years after it actually came out really started to build up this whole Christmas movie and in America it's actually even bigger than it is here you know they're really obsessed by it any fashion regrets with that film at all what with with I'm particularly thinking about her hat do you know why the Hat was there oh we had a massive spot in the middle of my forehead this is the problem with being seventeen and being in films I mean and it was humongous so there was no choice but we had to find a hat to cover it because there was no lighting there was no makeup that was going to cover it you're gonna watch that film an entirely new you see and that's the thing that I really remember because again like it's funny how you just remember extreme embarrassment isn't it I remember like coming in on the morning being like oh wow I've got another head on my head how are we gonna do like there's nothing we can do about this but there is because you can always put a hat over it but you know I was actually very grateful for that hat okay I take I have I have a lifetime of gratitude yeah [Music] let's jump through Nutcracker because yes know everyone must be talking about this voice it is a delight it's really not to be alive quite really that is so much fun to hear you say like things like tippity-top yeah I know I really like that there's one bit where you say the word poo in a very old-fashioned way yeah and it's just like the room goes yeah it's total child humour here's the chance to play a pink glittery fairy who is so silly so utterly completely and utterly ridiculous would you like to do that and I was like yes I do want to yeah I want to be as silly as possible and like a cake [Music] yeah and I do and your hair is made of candy and my hair is made of candy floss and I do get do I still you take seven seeing the film you surely do so happy and it's a treat and I seem to do it like it seems to be like a perfect magic trick you go yeah it was we had a lady making candy floss they're putting it in the back so I knew exactly where it was and like it just oh I can t force a yeah [Music] and the only thing that you really know about the Sugar Plum Fairy is that the team chin which is a did I don't I thought oh I wonder how I can get that in so can I laugh at so its own so it started with that and then I thought oh if that's gone up there then the voice should probably go and she's sugary and sweet and of course if everything has to be sugary and sweet it was just really it was my chance to be a panther pantomime Dame yes that is what it is here it's been a real pleasure thank you so much thank you very much [Music]
