since uh jeff came back into the picture actually he's like the real jeff yeah so is the real jeff here oh no no no it's still a it's a new puppet i made oh it's i've gotten better at making puppets now yeah this is now i've really got it down now uh ladies and gentlemen here's a very very good puppet version the more realistic version for sure yeah of uh mr jeff daniels here it comes now sorry man it's so great to see the two of you back together again yeah i feel like it's great fun great it's nice that they're alive we were called by a lot of world leaders and they said there's trouble you know people are upset there's a lot of unrest we need your help could you please now 20 years ago it was kind of a a weird film to see jeff daniels in and 20 years later it's still a weird film scene thank you so much good to be here you know what i mean no it's not it's i remember when we did it there were actors i mean i won't name them but they were going what what were you thinking this this go stand next to go do comedy with this and it's that and that that's why you do it is it apocryphal the story about clint eastwood is that true yes after you made the first one yes clint eastwood i'd never met him he came i was at a golf tournament for celebrities and all of a sudden clint eastwood's coming across the tent the breakfast tent looking at me it's dirty harry and i'm i'm and he goes jeff i'm clint mr eastwood what a pleasure to he calls me yeah he said he said uh i saw dumb and dumber i oh geez i'm so sorry listen there are other things out there you know and he goes no no the bathroom scene that happened to me let me go through this long story about a girlfriend but he was reliving it yeah that's how he came up with the poncho whatever he wants down there it's impractical and here's the thing acting clearly it's a lovely job it's a beautiful job and yet you actors always try to make it worse for themselves because jude's got a big movie black sea out now you did actually go and spend time on a real submarine well i got invited yeah the director and i got uh invited by the the i'm not sure how much i'm going to say because it was probably nuclear subs it was all sort of top secret but we were invited and i mean i don't know how much it helped me to be honest but it was an amazing experience yeah four days did you just start pushing buttons and stuff i did whatever i wanted what's this one and they were amazing they let me just wander around i went into the engine rooms and i i steered it for a bit did you get any sense that there was seven miles of ocean above your head you see i'm freaking out right now i mean it's all the claustrophobia isn't i guess everyone has different definitions of claustrophobia to me it was more the proximity of people because you hot bunk which means you you sleep for uh six hours get up for six six and other people sleep in your bed so there's a kind of and it's permanently dark in the in the sleeping quarters because everyone has to sleep at a certain time and they're like 18 snoring blokes you then all have to get up and look like change the sheets so do they no you're sleeping now oh that's fine what sort of onesie yeah we're all hopping around now here's a weird and maybe this isn't true but you jim did train with the was it the navy seals is that made up nonsense i did not train with the navy seals but what uh what that might be referring to is when i did the grinch i was uh literally the makeup was like being buried alive every day how long did it take uh the first day was eight and a half hours and i went back to my trailer and put my leg through the wall and i told ron howard i couldn't do the movie and uh then brian grazer came in and uh being the fix-it man and uh came up with a brilliant idea which was to hire a gentleman who is trained to uh to teach cia operatives uh how to endure torture and so that's how i got through the grinch i would like a good game it was quite hilarious you said eat everything you see and uh if you're freaking out and you start to spiral downward uh turn the television on change your pattern have someone you know come up and smack you in the head um you know punch yourself in the leg so or or smoke smoke as much as you possibly can so i was this grinch and this giant cigarette holder so so the yak hair wouldn't go on fire the green yeah yeah the green yak hair that turned inward and with crack it was horrifying it was horrifying it was just like it's for the kids it's for the kids how many months was that uh that i did the makeup 100 times good noise you know what got me through it the bee gees and i'm not kidding you the only thing that worked in the makeup chair to be calm through the process was everything the bee gees had ever done i don't know why they just made me happy they made it possible there'd be no grinch without them and now thompson greg in terms of acting and acting tapes uh you were was it graham linen who made black books he wrote directed black books yeah and he gave me the best piece of direction that i've ever been given i was in a scene where i was in bed listening to the radio because the voice of the man reading the shipping forecast really turned me on this is the work i do so i was in bed and i had to be being turned on and i was getting slightly embarrassed and shy i was pregnant i was feeling mad as you are and uh graham came up to and he said um okay the noises that you're making could you could you make the noises that you might make getting into a hot bath and that was it i was like oh very good but there are going to be so many suspicious husbands tonight you're getting it i prefer when they act like they're getting into a coal bath with me listen we've got a lot to talk about tonight but let's begin by celebrating the return after 20 years of dumb and dumber ladies and gentlemen very good now i've seen it and it is really really because you always kind of worry about these things you kind of think yeah we love them oh we worried we're worried yeah what's brilliant so nothing's happened nothing has happened they haven't grown in any way whatsoever it will not be an arc to these characters but for i mean jude does research you research your role sometimes there is none we try to avoid all information all information they haven't grown an ounce of intelligence in 20 years that's right are there tricks to get into the character like when you get on set is just he has a physical thing that he does with his i i again no research i i i just it was actually um grade school i was in detention with my friend clark la prairie who was bottle-fed until the age of eight and uh we were running around the classroom we were supposed to be sitting at our desks and we heard a noise outside so i ran to my desk and i put my head down like a good little boy and uh clark looked out the door and uh saw no one was coming and then took a beeline across the classroom did a cannonball on my head and my tooth hit the desk cool that and the nun put it inside an envelope and said jesus loved your teeth and sent me home so it was literally like just a little side order of guilt with the pain and uh and you know you know without clark la prairie you know hey listen we've got a clip uh from number two the movie opens uh next friday uh all over the place and now this is the two of you actually should we talk about the story a little bit before you see this thing that's important we kind of did it out of order so uh yeah well there is a bit of a story there is we get on the road we uh you need a kidney i need a kidney we find out he has a daughter so we think and what better reason for a family reunion than a compatible donor yeah so this this clip is when you're on the track of harry's daughter here we go adele what do you say we call penny right now with the news that her biological father is looking for she'll be so excited let's call her it's ringing whoever this is we're in the middle of something really important can you call back later no i can't call back later i have something to tell you and it might freak you out a little bit but this is your dad what hey guys i know this is weird timing but i gotta take this it's my dead dad she's got me on hold now going back to the first movie 1994 uh for you jim carrey that was an extraordinary year i mean it wasn't just it was ace ventura it was the mask but i couldn't really enjoy it you know because i was so stoned but uh but now i'm clear-headed and i i'm really enjoying myself i'm really having a good time really having a good time what i like is you know on the show i mean people have you know glittering careers but your career you know there's often that combination of kind of luck and talent but your career particularly that year sure seemed like but it seemed like you will you really just i really honestly did i mean i'm a huge visualizer and a manifesto so i i literally spent you know every night of my life for about four years on mulholland drive after i do the comedy clubs uh manifesting my life so i made a check to myself for 10 million dollars for acting services rendered uh paid to the order of jim carrey uh post-dated thanksgiving 1995. stuck it in my wallet and six months before i uh that due date came due i was uh i was making 10 million dollars for a movie i mean that's it it's an incredible story it's pretty crazy did you did you cancel the set yeah i gave it to my dad i gave my and my dad that check wow yeah i mean it's it's crazy it's crazy it was an irish teacher i had in the second grade who said you know whenever i want something i pray to the virgin mary and i ask her to ask god for it and uh you know i promise something in return and i get whatever i want and i went i need a bike i went home and i prayed for a bike and uh two weeks later i uh i walked into the living room and there was a brand new mustang bike with a banana seat and and uh you know chopper handlebars sitting in the middle of the living room and i said what's this and they said you won it in a raffle and it turns out i wanted in a raffle that i never entered that a friend of mine went into a sporting goods store and uh put my name in the raffle as well as his so that was two weeks later so i've kind of been doing that a lot you give him the bike no no no and what's extraordinary is now that you're you know your dad yourself you're you're a granddad unbelievably i am a granddad yes yeah but i tell him don't call me grandpa because every time and it's hilarious because he'll he'll just keep doing it because it bothers me i say don't call me grandpa and he'll go grandpa and every time he calls me you might get a little older because jude and jeff you've got kids as well but are your kids kind of embarrassed by you being in movies or do they like it are they humiliated by what you do good humiliation a little yeah droplets of humiliation um they don't mind i mean it's just my job i guess it's what i do that's what dad does um i think they're older now they're older so they're probably cool with it yeah but it is always that funny thing when you get home and you think you know what did you do today dad i i wore someone else's clothes and pretended to be someone else it's a very odd job it is but it pays the bills handsomely yeah they can always rub that in their face you didn't win that bike in a raffle i bought it because now thompson your dad sadly has passed away but it's just an emotional recall emotional recall what a great actor it's a good job is this true that he gave you advice on his deathbed yeah i didn't know it was his deathbed uh i mean it was in hospital so i should have guessed i don't usually have that printed on it okay he was 92 so you know it was creeping up on him mind you he had taught me two things in his life before his deathbed which was one was to bowl a cricket ball so i'm a pretty proficient cricket bowler and also he uh taught me to do one impression of a scared pig and on his deathbed can i just say no you can't just walk past he taught me to do it was perfect i think we would like to see the impression of a scared pig well it's not it's not so much same as the hearing listen you're i want to say if we're with jim carrey all right questions absolutely i don't know he's got a scared pig in the catalog no i i have a saint bernard that's really similar yeah if you do your scared pig i'll do what you do okay okay scared pig that's really hard to do when you're laughing right it's just very good okay don't worry about that ebola thing i think it's all cool right now oh that's your water i'm sorry okay so you know when you feel that moment sort of just tickling up your spine you think this is it this is the moment when the thing gets passed on and he looked at me and he said uh now look don't um don't do what your mother did and i was thinking he'd say something don't marry an old fool like me or something he said don't do what your mother did he said don't let yourself go so i turned to her i said mum now we move on we'll move on to this jude law it was a new movie uh called black sea and it's out now and like there are tense films but my god this film is so i may have developed an ulcer it's so so because it's it's a submarine movie well it's really it's a it's about a group of very desperate men uh ex-naval ex-salvage ex-cons all of whom in desperate situations with very little to lose and they team up together and take a submarine into the black sea believing that there is an undiscovered nazi u-boat full of gold um inspired by films like treasures of the sierra madre and wages of fear kevin mcdonald wonderful director and um it's re once they're on the submarine they realize of course that if there are fewer of them the cut of the gold is bigger and once they're also on the submarine the submarine has problems because it's uh it's an old submariner it's like antique roadshow submarine i mean it's really shocking and who would have known this script is written it's set on a 1970s russian submarine and you think well we have to build but they find one in rochester a guy owns one and it's just a causeway so that's where we filmed it his wife must have been so annoyed because and here's the thing in black sea it was an international cast because the russian very international yeah the russians were really played by russians yes believe it or not you're part of the film is in russian because they don't the actors didn't speak any english so we had a translator it was really complicated at times you're going to have russians in your film the women are much better than the very very beautiful very very good looking okay they were great guys they were great guys and you do a very good and specific scottish accent well yes we wanted him to have a feeling of uh i don't know something a little more uh gravelly and gritty than my sort of south london vlad you're right yeah yeah going down you're selling um and uh yes so we and kevin mcdonald the director is scottish and i thought therefore i was in safe hands and so he is indeed commander robinson is from uh aberdeen forgive me everyone from aberdeen no it's good it's really good listen we've got to watch a clip this is it it's that moment when you realize you've made a terrible mistake getting onto a submarine at all this this is jude in black sea hold it tight four i mean except it felt actually my any anything's gonna pale yeah i'm just spending eight hours under makeup but so they were like four or five days soaking wet in clothes and you've got to figure out okay how do you stay relatively warm because if you stand around as soon as you're out of the water you start you're getting cold so we had we had a jacuzzi bra with all these photos with boots all these guys you know with rubber ducks in a very confined space you're talking about acting have you yes well basically because because you know you're limited to a situational uh uh geographical change on a submarine an awful lot of the footage is over shoulder reverse so so we came up with who could backed the best acting from behind yesterday and uh it became a kind of running gag yes can you show us with some acting um i'll keep you snip over that okay there you go so i can't believe it okay so what do you like what should i show you oh i don't know what what what can you show us you're enjoying something angry i mean you're enjoying something it's making you laugh that was very good well we've just seen we've just seen we've just seen some very good acting there well you can see a lot more because samson greg ladies and gentlemen is in a musical greg is going to be in women on the verge of a nervous breakdown it's at the playhouse theater here in london once lindsay lohan has vacated that theater i make new comments previously from the 16th of december opens on the 12th of january and of course people will be familiar with the famous pedro almodovar film uh what could you what should you tell us about it uh it's very similar to the film except that it's in a theater okay i think we've uh i think we've got it yeah i think you your work here is done young lady now you haven't been in the musical before have you well two years ago and they said you'll do this i went well i can't sing so you probably want to ask lindsay lohan and they they who's actually on the verge of understanding and uh i didn't say that and uh they just uh kept wearing me down and giving me teachers and they really wanted you vocal therapists and laryngeal osteopaths wow you'd fly oh no we can't talk about the fly again there's always fights in the studio we can't talk but now this is the thing so you haven't done a musical before it didn't happen no it didn't happen isn't that like from amityville horror or something is there you are i like this you're she's won an olivier awards that's as big as you can get now you don't look thrilled with your award in this picture why why so blue tamsen okay i may have been slightly embarrassed at uh my acceptance speech and i was so sure i wasn't going to win i was so sure and i just come from set and i borrowed a dress and ran there and i i was sure i wasn't going to and then they caught well don johnson announced my name wow so that was you know difficult so then i went up and uh i can't believe i'm telling this story because i vowed that and it's on youtube you can all see it and uh i said that i thought i'd done a tiny wii and then admitted that it wasn't even my i dress it's not it's not clever it's not smart had you done it well all the journalists were saying don't reference it

well yes i did i talked through my ass yes i thought it was a perfect expression of uh you know uh rebellion actually the awards for this kind of thing back acting for the ass talk for the vagina speech yes when i when i read the script on it i i i read the stage direction which was beverly speaks in a deep yoda-like voice because we're in this session we're a sex therapist and the sex therapist says if your vagina could could talk to sean what would it want to say and i say if my vagina could talk we'd be having a whole different set of problems and she said frank ours she goes i
