That It's not what I've written down, but that really is. I will say like, everyone has to stop talking. I'm sorry. And I don't like doing it, but I will do it. I've done it a few times. Bridgeton dialogue is like not the easiest. So, like, if you're drawing, yeah. Never forget in season two when they cut the line. You were abstinent and opinionated with no inclination to obedience or conformity. And I couldn't say it. Smash it. Smash it. Smash it. Yeah, yeah, but if I I remember them and then I remember them forever until I die. People who don't put their trays away in the airport. Oh, my God. Oh, that's an incredible one.

It's not even just an accent. It's like the way she speaks is really, really tight and stressed. Um, but that's a really hard. I don't know if I could do a normal Derry accent. I could just do that voice. Yeah. It's just like become too much. Oh, that's great. Yeah. All right, which castmate would I most likely call to bail me out of jail? Oh, my gosh. I'm going to go Golda. Golda, who just would nail it. Oh, yeah. That's a good one. Polly Walker. Good one. Mummy. Mummy Featherton. I'm actually gonna say Luke T. I feel like Luke T would hate you. Are you kidding me? I'd I'd like make her stay in there longer. You would find it really funny and you'd be like, oh, no. No. I've actually said Claudia. I was hoping you would, but I thought it'd be too arrogant, but I was like, I can't be like, I think it's me. I think I'm incredibly trustworthy. I'd help. You would. You would. You'd sort it out. Yeah. Yeah. What's my signature dance move? Does it have a name? Yeah, kinda. I think it's got to do with your hips moving. Shakira style hip movements. Oh, yeah. I don't see it for you. Very good. I think that's right. I love that you look at me and go, Shakira. I've actually just written like millennial stink face. Do you know what I it's terrible. I'm like the youngsters are always like, why are you doing that? And I don't know why. We're all like, I know exactly what you mean. Yeah, yeah. And then it's just ingrained and I can't help but do it. So Great name for a drag queen. It really is. Do you know my drag name is Kylie Jenner? Yeah, Kylie Jenner. So good. What band's music videos did I remake as a child? Can I extend this and say what, like, or musical artists? Okay, I'm going to guess it's busted. I was going to say Backstreet Boys. I'm going to say Britney Spears, 'cause you're impression. Oh, gosh, you did do a good impression. You're actually right. I've written down Avril Lavigne. My sister and I, she's gonna kill me, we made, um, us against the music. And she was Madonna and I was Britney. So you should get two. You should get two points. I've seen the pictures of you. I had a deep Avril face. Yeah. You can give me a camcorder and I claimed my life. What part did I originally audition for in Bridgerton? Oh! Oh! Oh! I'm I'm I'm going I I think it was Colin. Now I want that. I don't tend to agree with my partner, but I also agree. I'd love it. Yeah. I'm going to say for fun, the Duke. Yeah. I'm also going to say the Duke and you did, I think you did the scene about Daphne and the balls. Did I? Oh, but she knows. Didn't we talk about it on the radio? Oh, did you confess that on that radio? Yeah, yeah. And on purpose, 'cause I didn't know the question. No, I just confessed that it was right. Yeah. Yes, it is Simon the Duke was my first audition. Now, I feel like it was a joke. I was reading that scene when they were like deciding on how many balls and I had no idea. If you had to, like, kiss Phoebe, that would be disgusting. I kind of think of you as siblings. Yeah, no, sister. What is my favorite cocktail? I like them to be simple if it's a I'm going for a Long Island iced tea. Highest units of alcohol. I like them simple. That's all. I know. You're laughing at my answer. I'm going to say old fashioned. Rum and Coke. I put Margs, Margarita. Only because if I had to pick a cocktail, it'd be that. You're thinking Vodka, Vodka, Coke. That's not really a cocktail though, is it? I don't know. I love it. I love my cocktails simple. Not looking correct. I know. That's why I thought I can't say that. What's wrong with a glass? What was the last concert I went to? I know what concert you went to. I can't. Oh, gosh. Lana Del Rey. No, he wouldn't go to Lana Del Rey. Steps reunited. Musicals and concert. The 1975. But that was in the summer so you could have gone to other stuff since then. Now, you've made me think if it is. But I know you better than you know yourself. I think it was Beyoncé. With J.B. Good answer. Oh, I could have worked that out. You were there.
[5:47]I wasn't there, but I couldn't be there. Was it for after that? Because you actually might be right. How many siblings do I have? One. One. Can I get an extra point if I get her name right? Lauren. Correct. One, Lauren. Nice work. Well done, everyone. Very good. This question, I had to ask the team because I didn't know the answer. So, good luck. Okay. What do Reese Witherspoon and I have in common? You're both beautiful blonde women. I I think I know. I think I know. You were both in Legally Blonde. That's what I'm going to say, but I actually mean it because you were in the stage show of Legally Blonde and you played Walker and tour. That is correct.
[6:24]I was. Yeah. You were calling me like this. Okay, now I have to explain. I was I guess like, what inspired me to do acting, is to do something that really made me feel good. Right? So I inspired myself to do acting because it's what makes me feel good. So a less stressful way to be because you're not comparing yourself to anyone. That is correct. Oh, I was, too. How long did I live on a canal boat for? Oh, okay. I'm going to go for two years. I'm going to go two and a half. I'm going to say three. It's three years. It was bloody good. I loved living on the boat. People are always like, oh, it must be cold, but you're more likely to pass away in the summer because it's so hot, but I loved it. And I I miss it a bit. If I wasn't an actor, what would my profession be? I don't think you'd want to work in a supermarket somewhere really quiet. You'd be in like a place where there's people and animals that you're helping. Is that an is that a job? Oh, like a hospital. Is that what you mean? Like a hospice. I'm gonna say work in a bookstore. Because you've been a reading a lot this year as well. Oh, that really suits you, actually. Yeah. Oh, you know, I wish that was my answer now. Something with animals, so I think Nicola really does get that. Sweet. What is the meal I could eat forever? I think you're funny. Oh, that's really nice. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, I was gonna say sense of humor. It's gonna say reading. You're not that funny. No. Reading. It's not that funny. Yeah. I'm not that funny. It's not that funny. Very good. Sadly, I said we're both smokers. Oh! Yeah. We did. So there we go. That's fine. But if you'd rather edit that out, that's fine. What is the meal I could eat forever?
[7:59]I'm just thinking of season one, the dinner scene when you just ate potatoes all day. You do like a potato. Oh, no. It's stupid. What I'll do is I'll do one scene and I'll catch a bit of potato on a fork and then I'm like, they've got that. And I'm like, oh, that's me forever then. And I'll eat 48 potatoes. You're quite a rapid potato, Claudia. I love potatoes. That's why I love a kebab. I love a kebab. What was it? Bibimbap. It's Bibimbap. And I put spelling, 'cause um, sorry. Also I think I said it wrong. So, but we know it. We meant I don't know what that is. Oh, I see. Yeah. Delicious Korean meal. It's it's fantastic. What is my party trick? I'm gonna say the clapping game. That's quite a good party trick, isn't it? Is it? You're right. And you? Oh! I was gonna say that. Were you? Yes. I guess this is going to be its debut. It's my eye thing. I was like, is she gonna say? No, I was like, what if there's I've horribly insulted you?
[8:52]Oh, no. No, this isn't gonna work. My left eye can do a full 360 show off, but my right eye can only look up and down, which means I can do things like this. So, yes, it's my eye thing. You guys did really well with mine. If I got shipped off to a deserted island, what is one item I would bring with me? I'm going to say a pillow because you love to nap. That's true. I do love to nap. Oh, it's not right. Bread. Bread. Bread. Bread. Pillow. It's a piano. You're lying. That's really cool, as well. No. Actually, you loves it. Nicci loves it. This is good because now we actually get to know each other. Are you gonna, Luke, Luke. Yeah. Because I could just do it for hours because it'd be quite boring after a while. I mean, I'd only be performing for myself, but still. I'd be quite interested. You know, you do. That's a really sad, like, genuinely Luke alone on the desert island being like playing Finessa Carlton. Yeah.
[9:48]What item have I stolen from set? It's so. Oh, um, is it the drawing materials? Is it like sketching charcoal and stuff? I think you're right. I'm going to just I think clearly not.
[10:04]It's so weird. It's so dull. I think, oh, it's it's weird and dull. I think. Oh, it's it's weird and dull. I think it's not the intimacy where. Dull things. I was going, well, I was going to go with like, underpants. Benedict's underpants. Okay. It is socks. Oh. Oh. I'm not even like costume, man. You only put that in 'cause costume them chase me. They're like, Luke, where are all your socks going?
[10:25]No. Yeah, yeah. You have to do it tactical. You know, you do it once a week in my life. And sometimes I like finish the day and they're on. And you know, when you've packed up and you're ready to go. Yeah. You're not going back. No. I can't. I'm not going back now. Yeah. Yeah. I steal a lot of socks. Where's when you get the call, you're like half an hour and they're like, do you still have the ring? And you're like, How did I celebrate after booking Bridgerton? Do you know? No. You played Party Rock Anthem on the piano. On a deserted island. This is very sweet. You called a family member. You called a nearest and dearest. I said like a load of cheese. I'm going to say not to be cop out. I think it's similar but to add on what Claudi said, I think there was something like there's the story that they didn't know how to react or like they didn't know maybe I'm thinking, I don't know. I like, Nicola just had a load of cheese. You were just like, The first I put, no clue, don't remember. But then, I did call a nearest and a dearest. I think possibly like, my mom or my dad or something. Well, surely. What color are my eyes? Is that actually one of the questions? Yeah. What color are my eyes? It's blue. They're green in the middle. And then they got blue. They do look quite blue from here. Stop it. He's got blue eyes. I don't think I've got blue eyes. Yeah. Okay, fine. Which actor inspired me to start acting? Oh, it's going to be something like classic. You know, like Olivia or the one who's the guy with the star on his face. Oh, he's got an eye. Oh, you'd know him everywhere. Yeah. So, what are you gonna go for? You have to go for something. Laurence Olivier. Okay. I think Steven Seagal. There's a lot of him in you. Yeah. I'm going to say Hugh Grant. Okay. Hear me out on this one. I'm really sorry. It's me. No. Let me just explain. Let me just explain what I mean by me. What I mean is like, what inspired me to do acting is to do something that really made me feel good. Right? So I inspired myself to do acting because it's what makes me feel good. So a less stressful way to be because you're not comparing yourself to anyone.
[12:43]Or chasing something. Yeah, just being me. I was gonna say that. That's a nice way to end. There you go. Yeah. I know you so well. I know you so well. Whoa! You like me! It's so it's so it's so. It's so. It's so fun. It's so it's so smart. Thank you for watching.
