I even had a lot of red carpets after Ad Gaga with the it depends, you know what you're doing, we have a lot of different outfits so you have to adapt, he's good with the train, although I saw that he wasn't better, he was. very big the elevator on the way here never steps on the dress I've always admired your work on the train thank you we work a lot on the train oh do you want some yes oh do you want a second cup I won't say Are you sure we could stretch for that well?

I'm, you're happy with the water situation here, yes, I feel a little ashamed of my choice. I don't know, star to share a coffee and talk a lot about the view. Hi guys, Udrih. Opening in London this week, yes, right now, yesterday, yesterday, three, about a very relaxed Friday, just watching daytime TV, meanwhile, Doctor Who, Doctor Who, it's a global, global franchise, where do they choose that Will it be launched globally? Sheffield, it was, it was a glorious day, I could Also in Los Angeles I was received very warmly from And without the Yorkshire thing, people are gay.

I felt at home. It was wonderful that you are not the chef. Where are you from? It's called oh, they're nuggets and because of it the city has a field, yes, and the village is called skelemans op scale. The man thought there was a special name for people on the scale. I thought I don't understand. I'm allowed to say this because this happens when the kids go to bed, yeah, it's out tomorrow, so, the name to me would be affectionately referred to as, are you a shot glass? Yes, let Miss Schatz access the chat. She beats this drink everywhere, skalman appears very long and, but then it has to do with, not really.

Remember and the details, but I hope you know that this is a vague story, but I think in the old days there was a quarry and the local trade was people breaking slate, so they were pieces and then you were if you were from the town and Workers. You lived in the town, you're a mess and now it's many years later, you're from Shack, realize and my boyfriend, the moment when now the husband, the Tucson Jews, were able to come out of a key transition, Shack, see photos that they open up oh my gosh welcome to the family Tucson Arizona Tonight A Star is Born opens everywhere October 3rd starring Bradley and Lady Gaga and also directed by Bradley Cooper so it's important because it's a story that I believe that you know people under 50 and you know they don't Look at Isand or Kris Kristofferson or you know, it's a new story and if people haven't seen it, tell us about the story, you know it's not really like any of the the other versions in the sense that these characters are completely different from the others. the ones Jackson did, the character I play is a rock star who is successful, the others, you know his fame is waning, this guy can tour and it's the reality of today, you know you can tour and have a can and a library of songs and you can earn money to die and he doesn't worry about being overshadowed by someone else either fame is not something he thinks about and she plays and not the character aunjanue who is always there she is 31 years old and bitter because I don't bitter resigned myself to I don't want to talk about your character without you knowing that you sing covers and she is an incredible songwriter because we wanted to tell a story about finding your voice here in this world and how difficult it is, especially when people tell you It says what you are and who you're supposed to be and what you can't do and I also wanted to tell a love story like what happens when two people really love each other and it's really pure and powerful and even with that, how hard it is. hold on in this life and how much it took you to convince Lady Gaga to do this because it's a big leap, it didn't take any convincing on my part.

I mean, she came to my house and we had a wonderful time together. I mean, as soon as she walked in, we're both from the East Coast and we're both Italian-American, so I was like heating up pasta from the night before in the kitchen in the skillet that we were eating on the patio talking. about life and family and then he wanted to sing with me the song from Creedence Clearwater Revival's midnight special, so I was playing it on the piano and he started singing and I was like, oh my God, Bradley, your voice, I stayed impressed with him, I mean.

He just sings from the soul of him, he sings from the inside of him and when he sings he is a storyteller and I was very moved by his passion, you know, for music and for this movie and, frankly, he was the one who had to convince others. people love me in the movie, no one tries to convince me, I mean he really fought for me and you can have a hundred people in the room looking at you and 99 don't believe in you and one does and that was him. you know right, that's what you were saying about his singing, we can hear his singing now because this is Bradley singing over a sample from the movie A Star Is Born, live vocals, yeah, wow, we didn't have a choice because the songs are, no it's like having this little break is a lot like Lala Land, we're like the songs are part of the character of the movie, so you know, it's not like you take this little break and the other thing that's amazing about these movies , I do not do it.

I think I've ever seen a movie that puts the audience on stage, yeah, in this I never quite understood what it must be like to play one oh yeah, that's it and presumably it's because it's all real. I'm glad you feel that. Because that was the point, that was one of the first things I thought about. I want to take a completely subjective eye, it was just based on the first time I ever experienced that was at a Metallica concert and I was behind the drums. and I remember seeing Mars Oelrichs sweating on the back of his neck while watching the scope at Yankee Stadium and thinking, well, this is a great composition and that's where the idea was born and then we just stuck with it, but the best thing was Glastonbury, which I got to go to at Glastonbury and it was like you couldn't hear the music, yeah, yeah, just the first five rows because we couldn't play it through the PA because the songs can't.

I don't go out every once in a while, you can hear you can hear it and then the monitors because you needed to hear your voice, but just like 15 rows back, everyone's saying what's going on, lose that shit and I didn't know. what you know, you never knew what was going to happen, you know they were going to throw bottles, especially at Glastonbury, yeah, yeah, I don't know, the ball coming towards you was Kristofferson, yeah, so you know and a lot of things are luck . Kris Kristofferson happened to be Playing this summer and we were filming the movie and he came to the set and I asked his wife if there was any way to make a musical movie with rented Aston Barry.

You know it's a rite of passage for any musician and I knew it. Nick and Emily who run it because I go every year and I asked him he said well if you complain someone will let you go and Christopherson let us do it and me, Maddie Latika, the cinematographer and Steve Morrow flew to England and I went and did it, but the best part was that after I sang this song I said, ladies and gentlemen, sir. Chris Christopherson and then I turned around and he just walked past me and I thought I'll never forget it, yeah that was amazing and joy, you came full circle on the last trip, she visited the set too, yeah that was amazing.

I mean, I think I held my breath for 10 minutes while she was there. I mean, she's lovely and you know, she's just an amazing woman and the truth is that throughout her entire career she really was involved in every detail and I really admire that about her and when she came on set she was so lovely and so warm. with all of us and he washed a little bit of the previous editions of the movie and it was spectacular and we had a great time. photo of you two together is like diva squares Oh, was that before that's before before yes, that's the first time you met her, right, yes, yes, we had dinner together at her house, yes, of course we did, because How does this story resonate with you?

Lady Gaga sees why you wanted to be a star from a very young age ID How many years have you been doing this? Looks like someone is potentially my shot at Michelle Pfeiffer. How old are you? I think I must be 10, but does she look like Lady Gaga? The impersonator looks like a girl. I'm being Lady Gaga for Halloween. The normal thing is that she is Lady Gaga, young stars. How many years you have been here? Bradlee, shave your beard. They'll take a few years off me. Don't know. I think it was my birthday. I think maybe three. or something like that, how does the photo appear in the world?

How do we know what my mom sends? Here is a great photo. This is Jodie Jodie Whittaker. I don't know when it was, but let's go for an 80s pop star. Look, I think there you are, oh joy, heavens at the bottom, you can't see because of that, but I have spikes and they match the pink stripe. I'm fed up, yeah, you can see through that, hey, oh, well, I'm serious. It was the alarm, so I was, I was just in the method, we like a very young aerobics instructor. Take it from me, Ryan, you have a connection.

I have a strange introduction to

show

business through the widget. Your uncle. I think so, it's true, so he lives. with you, yeah, did you come into the room once? I walked into the room one time and he was stunning in a white sequin jumpsuit and he and he said he was going to be Elvis for a while and you know what I'd like help, what do you need me to do? So I became his head of security and she got my whole family involved in the act. My mom was a backup singer and it was honestly one of the best performances I've ever seen in my life.

No, no, he, yes, he. I mean, what I admired about what he was doing was that he didn't look anything like Elvis, you know he didn't try, he had a mustache and very little hair, but my God, he just became him and you know he would finish every

show

. with suspicious minds and he would get down on his knees and often with tears in his eyes he would sing to some imaginary woman and beg her not to leave and we were transported from this shopping center in my small town in Ontario to that I imagine it was a kitchen and she was trying to leave and we were in that moment every night and it was amazing and honestly one of the best acting lessons I've ever had.

I wasn't going to abandon her. those sequins on you when you were doing security I mean six small special weapons no photo I don't think I painted a picture yes photo of young Ryan tonight causes Ryan Gosling to play Neil Armstrong in The First Man opens October 12 and No It's just the story we think we're going to see about the trip to the moon, it's the story of a family that really went through all that. Yeah, you know, when I was a kid, I think human spaceflight had become commonplace. and I had this golden image that it was preordained to be a success and we were always going to get there and Damien Chazelle, the director of lala land, when I first met him, started telling me the real story. and you know what you learn is that this is, you know this was not this, this could have gone wrong at any time and it is really a story of great sacrifice of hundreds of thousands of people and sacrifice of human lives and you know resources and in In At the heart of it is this family, the Armstrongs, and they were enduring an incredible amount of pain and loss and somehow they fought through it and stayed focused on accomplishing this extraordinary thing of bringing a human being to life.moon and pressures. you're playing a real person, you know, you have to look good and sound good, but this has some extra of that incredibly iconic line, which line is that hangover that you're filming in while you were thinking, oh, today is the day that I'll have to say that, yes.

You can put it in the back of your mind, no, he was there, well I think one interesting thing about Neil is you know by all accounts he didn't think about what he was going to say, you know he was just focused on landing right. safely and said if they did it, he would do it. then think about what to say and I think that line is really one of the most famous things ever said and not just because of the context in which it was said, but you also have to really think about who would say something like that and it's such a beautiful thing. to say and a meal with someone who saw you, knows he could see a giant leap in one small step, you know, and he could do it, you know, casually, that way, you know he, so I tried not to think too much about that because I tried to take a page out of Neil's playbook and just yeah, and then we have to keep this is you as Neil Armstrong and this is you as a parent trying to prepare your child for the idea. about daddy going to the moon, right, Jimmy, that's what you didn't say when you got to the moon, well, we're not sure we're going to get to the moon, yeah, a lot of things have to go right before that happens , TRUE?

I think you're going to come back, we have real confidence in the mission and there are some risks, but we have every intention of coming back, but you don't want to, but we have to accept it, it's family drama, there's a lot in space too. and being an astronaut preparing to go to space zoom, do you have to prepare to be an astronaut to go to space? So you had to do all these things in the movie, like that weird whirlpool there, a multi-axis trainer that looks horrible, yeah, I don't. I don't remember much, I just remember the directors saying that more twists are kind of a blank space because you're just in it or controlling it somehow.

No, you don't control it. Oh, can you eat it? Yes, feeling like you got sick. It was very hard to complain because the director went out of his way to make sure this was authentic. I mean an incredible amount of detail to make these capsules, you know almost exactly what they were like and we had technicians who participated in these missions. on the set every day and at any moment you thought about complaining, you know you went to the monitor and someone you know, some astronaut, you said well, you know Ryan, when I went to the moon I was just talking and little by little you forget what it was about that.

It bothers you, but you decided that you were in the garden to learn how to fly because you know that I am strong enough playing this well, yeah, how was it? You know Neil could fly before he could drive. He grew up washing airplanes as a kid so he could pay for lessons and flying was so important to him, so I thought, oh, I'll learn to fly, and you know, you always hear about celebrities flying and I thought, "how hard could it be, it's really hard." "It's very difficult and beautiful." Quickly into my training, my flight instructor told me to bring the plane to a self-imposed stall.

It's just that you stop it on purpose and I thought that was a terrible idea. Land right away and I'll spend my time learning other things you do. I like learning things, although I mean, I'm famous for playing the piano and lalala and you've learned some very specific things, was it the d'Urberville test? Oh yes, he milks a cow, yes, we touch them, is it Hewitt, who was a lovely little one? milkmaid, yes, yes, my cow had water teats, water, what a guarantee, don't worry, no tea, but Warsi, yes, water, water, tea, and the thing was that I slid through the whole scene feeling like if we were holding some kind of horrible hand.

I was really good, we found the teeth, well, all I could think was aunt back aunt back. Probably not now in terms of you've now told us with Neil Armstrong through music that you discovered that he liked this particular piece of music, is that true? true, yes, the Theremin, the Theremin, yes, the Theremin. I think we have the Do you want to tell us about where you found this music? I just love the Theremin and I was happy to find out that Neil from the theorem and I was looking for ways to connect with him and you know he's a genius who is full of incredible courage and he's a teacher and many things and I was looking for a connection there and then I thought on Theremin and then I took it to the director. and there was a really beautiful piece of music called Lunar Rhapsody, moon music and Neil and Janet loved it in college, it was kind of his song and you know, having no idea what their lives would be like if the moon would be very involved.

Yes, with their lives, but we ended up using it in the movie and then the composer took the theremin and learned to play it and a lot of our score is theremin base now it's really beautiful so this is a little bit of a moon , what's called the lunar rhapsody, the lunar rhapsody, that's what good television is, there's stuff here, there's a strange link between the theremin and Doctor Who because the Doctor Who theme has the theremin and it doesn't have it too, yes, I can't reproduce it. I'll cut you off, that's because I chose Theremin.

I have a Theremin now. I think this is on, so don't do anything to it. Oh, look, yeah, it's on, it's on, ladies, Edwin, okay, but thank you, so we. that bit, so this keeps it quiet, have you played one of these before? No, I've heard of that, that keeps it quiet, okay, and then you take it off a little console, the world gives it a world,

lady

, dog, on the third. well, try the lower EP, okay, then come on, let's go to the doctor, who does it. I don't know how much we paid for that, but it was really worth it, the time has come when we should talk about Doctor Who, the new season.

It starts on October 7th for the first time, doctor, which will be on a Sunday, this is very exciting, so how did you hear? You knew, it was one of the things, obviously, the audition, but when did you hear? Where were you when you heard? I thought it was my final audition and then I knew that I wasn't obligated to do any of the audition scenes that I wasn't filming. I just thought it was a talk with adults and it was kind of like, you know? the last pitch and I came into the game with my face really a little stiff, but I played it calmly and sat without everyone in the middle of the room.

I knew him from Broadchurch and then, you know, Saturn said, yeah, hey, hey, hey, how are you? Can we continue with this? Because I have a lot to say, so Chris Chibnall leaned across the table and said, "We'd like you to be the next doctor." All this information is really important about how it was going to be. and what was required and I just when I really want to know what's going on with someone, so I walk, it was like an hour, I think about chatting and I think I just think I kept crying, add it because of that, because of the joy, because of the fear. the responsibility for you, for the fans and for the fact that you know he is an alien with two hearts, but I am a woman.

I get asked a lot about girls who admire you, but it's also about guys, do you know how many women there are? Your life inspires you, but also how many people in my life, regardless of gender, and sometimes in movies and in the characters they are not even human and I am inspired and I want to be like them, so I think that is what is exciting about the moment, but I hope it's a moment and this announcement is this and I will dine out forever you will be the first steel sandwiches of this convention. Jerry speaks.

Have you ever heard of Doctor Who? Yes, yes, oh yes, they've seen it. Yeah, sure who it was that in Canada they filmed in Canada, yeah, we have it all over Canada, it's everywhere, so it started in the '60s. Wow, but the first guy with a lot of hair, yeah, yeah, that's the one. that I saw as a kid, no, oh, you don't know, you walk in, you're legit, laughing, right? It didn't affect me.
