Let's talk about Bureau.
2
So you're so passionate about this alcohol-free lifestyle
3
that you actually decided to jump all in and create your own like non-alcoholic beer.
4
So what was the inspiration for that?
5
I think as an actor in my position, I'd been approached loads of times by different companies to set up something, whether it could be, you know,
6
an alcohol, a rum, a vodka, a beer, a clothing line, all that sort of stuff.
7
And I'd never come across anything that sparked any sense of passion in me.
8
And it wasn't until I got sober and I was dealing with the struggles of getting through that every day.
9
And I noticed a void where there weren't good enough replacements for people like me who wanted to go to the pub,
10
enjoy the social aspects of it.
11
share some golden juice with your friends and then go home.
12
And I thought to myself, wouldn't it be a great thing if I could turn not only my sobriety into a great thing for my lifestyle, but a great thing for my future
13
and a tool for other people who are maybe trying to achieve the same thing that I have.
14
But then also a product for someone like my dad.
15
My dad loves a beer after work or when he gets home, but sometimes he doesn't want to drink, but he just wants to crack something open and drink it.
16
So I just started kind of going around town
17
and asking my agents to help me find people that were setting up these companies.
18
I spoke to Athletic and, you know, I was a big fan of theirs and Bill Shouflat.
19
Yeah, I was trying to kind of get involved there, but they were doing so well that they didn't need any help, which I totally respect.
20
And then I started speaking to my agents about like, well, what if I set up my own one?
21
And, you know, it's a pretty daunting task, but their WME are so fantastic at putting the right people on the table.
22
So I met with this company called Imaginary, who are an investment venture capital company.
23
And we kind of had this idea of building our own product.
24
And it's been one of the most enjoyable things I've ever done.
25
For me, it's felt like a school project.
26
of like, do you guys have The Apprentice in America?
27
Sure.
28
It feels like I'm on The Apprentice.
29
Yeah.
30
Remember the other president who was the head of the...
31
Oh, shit, that's right.
32
He did do it, didn't he?
33
Because we had Alan Sugar did it in England.
34
Oh, yes, that's right.
35
He did do that.
36
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
37
I remember now.
38
But it's been such a joy working with the creative departments,
39
figuring out what we want the company to represent then I think it's really important for me
40
that Biro isn't ramming sobriety down people's throats.
41
It's for everyone.
42
It's for people that don't drink.
43
It's for people that want to drink less.
44
And it's for people that drink a lot, but one night they need to wake up early and be switched on the next day.
45
And I think that it represents this void in the market.
46
I noticed that, you know, all non-alcoholic beers like Peroni or Heineken Zero or Guinness Zero, they're all blue.
47
All of their cans have like a blue connotation.
48
So like Bex is Bex blue, Peroni is Peroni blue.
49
And I think that's really unfair because it's like you're in the bar with a big signpost saying like, I'm drinking a non-alcoholic beer.
50
So my goal was to come up with something that you could drink in a bar that was as appealing,
51
that scratched the itch as much as a real beer, but you didn't have to pay the price for it in the morning.
52
And something that was inclusionary rather than exclusionary.
53
So my hope is, is that Biro can represent the non-alcoholic beer market
54
and that it can be something where people like myself can feel included in a place where I sometimes feel excluded.
55
It's great, man.
56
I think it suits you perfectly.
57
It's smart when you see people like Ryan Reynolds and George Clooney with their spirits companies.
58
I mean, obviously, this is like a smart play for anybody who's in a position like you to explore, but to marry it with a real passion,
59
you know, to be not only, you know, kind of the face of this thing, but also an evangelist of a lifestyle that is about community and connection.
60
I think it's great.
61
And I think that this, segment, this market is exploding and only going to continue to grow.
62
You know, Bill at Athletic told me his whole story.
63
Like when he started, like he couldn't find anybody to work with.
64
He had a brewer partner and they just couldn't even find anybody to do small batches because everybody was like, there's no market for this.
65
And the products that have always existed have been, to your point, kind of like wave the flag, you know, for the problem drinker where you're just kind of announcing.
66
It feels like they're just checking a box.
67
And it's about like the negative aspects of this rather than
68
kind of pushing the ball forward towards like the positive lifestyle aspects of this.
69
Well, I think that the language with alcohol-free drinks is always about what they're lacking.
70
And what we want to promote is what you're gaining.
71
That's why we're kind of coining this idea of a life enriched.
72
Just because there's less alcohol in it doesn't mean that it's lesser beer.
73
It's brewed the same.
74
It's the same ingredients.
75
It's just ever so slightly different.
76
So for me, it's not about what it doesn't have.
77
It's what about you gain from having it.
78
And I think that that is something I'm really passionate about.
79
I think to what you asked me earlier, like, what is it about a project that gets me excited in terms of acting?
80
It's like, do I believe in the message?
81
Do I believe in the story?
82
Is it something I'm passionate about?
83
if yes my foot's in the door I'm ready to do it
84
and that's exactly what Bureau has presented to me here an
85
opportunity to tap into something I've never sort of understood before
86
but I'm really passionate about making a difference
87
and helping people out I'd love to have had a Bureau
88
in my first year of sobriety it would have made it a lot easier for me
89
and I hope
90
that maybe in the future it can help people afterwards you
91
brought some you're gonna you're gonna let me bring some of it maybe we'll take a quick break
92
and we can like bring it out yeah just appear in the middle yeah
93
look what magically appeared i know isn't it amazing can you
94
believe this is just it's like a spider-man movie i just was saying it's really interesting like
95
when you're doing press for something like a film especially
96
and it's been a secret for so long when you talk about it for the first time, there is this weird adjustment process of like,
97
I'm not supposed to talk about this.
98
I've been keeping it a secret for so long.
99
And now the floodgates have opened.
100
And this is the first time I've ever spoken to anyone about this.
101
It's been under lock and key.
102
Even guys at my golf club are like, what is this thing you keep rushing off to work on?
103
And I haven't told anyone.
104
So I'm really happy today.
105
How long have you been working on it?
106
I mean, the creative, we've been working on it for about a year in terms of like the liquid itself, like what it tastes like, the flavors that we want to try and enhance,
107
the branding and the marketing, which is the part of the process that I was most involved with.
108
It was probably what a five month process, five to six months, seven months, which was great.
109
It was awesome.
110
But then the setting it up and hiring the right people, that was about four or five months beforehand.
111
And we've been so lucky.
112
John, our CEO, I met with two guys.
113
And the moment I started speaking to John,
114
I knew that he was the guy that was going to represent what I wanted to try and create the best.
115
He was very authentic.
116
He was very honest and kind and thoughtful, but also incredibly driven and successful.
117
So I was really drawn to him.
118
And I think how he's helped me
119
and our team get to where we are is a testament to him as our leader, which is great.
120
Yeah, it's cool.
121
So what do we got here?
122
You got a couple, for people that are just listening and not watching on video, you got like, we have a bureau presentation here.
123
We have three different kinds.
124
So SKUs is a new thing I've learned in my rapid business life.
125
We've got three.
126
We've got Edge Hill IPA, which is like a hazy IPA, which is my favorite.
127
Edge Hill is the hill in which my school is on top of.
128
So that's kind of where I grew up.
129
The green is the Kingston Pils.
130
It's like a classic take on a pilsner.
131
Kingston is where I grew up.
132
So that kind of represents home.
133
And then the cream is the wheat, the noon wheat named after my little dog, which is one of our favorites.
134
And they're great.
135
For me, they really scratched the itch.
136
It's been such a pleasure learning about the process of brewing beer, the difference between brewing non-alc beer and, you know, your full strength beer.
137
And then also having the ability to ask Grant, our brewmaster, I'd love to have a stronger aftertaste of hop with the hazy.
138
And then he'll explain how he'll go about doing that and all that sort of stuff.
139
So being able to build a product that's tailored for my taste that I get to share with everyone has been awesome.
140
Which one should I try?
141
Well, what do you like?
142
What's your go-to kind of beer?
143
I mean, not too heavy.
144
I mean, listen, first of all, I went to treatment in 1998.
145
Okay.
146
So you were like, what, two years old?
147
I would have been two years old.
148
Yeah.
149
Okay.
150
So it's been a minute.
151
Okay.
152
You know what I mean?
153
So it is a weird thing because it's been so long
154
and I didn't like get sober and then kind of drink non-alcoholic beer, that I'm of two minds with it.
155
Like on the one hand, I think it's fantastic.
156
These things exist, but it's also, it's also, it's a weird thing because when I taste it, because now they're so good, right?
157
Like I'm like, am I having a beer?
158
It lights up a part of my brain that freaks me out a little bit.
159
One of the things I'm really excited about with Biro is
160
that we are never going to bring out a full strength beer.
161
so you know that when you're holding that gold can, you're safe.
162
Yeah.
163
There's no booze in it.
164
So which one?
165
The wheat?
166
That's a wheat.
167
So that would be like a Hefeweizen or a Blue Moon.
168
Then your Pilsner would probably be the lightest of the three.
169
Let me try that one.
170
That's kind of your standard lager.
171
And then this is the really juicy one.
172
Right.
173
This is the...
174
I'll taste both.
175
And by the way, I should say, this isn't like a sponsored thing.
176
No, no, no, no. There's no, yeah, like there's no, like I'm just doing this because I believe in what you're trying to accomplish.
177
Thank you.
178
And I think the alcohol-free lifestyle is such an important one.
179
And to the extent that there are options and alternatives out there for people, like I'm supportive of that.
180
And that's where it ends.
181
So if people think like there was money that got exchanged, no, that's not what this is about at all.
182
Well, she is. So, yeah.
183
This is my first time sharing a beer.
184
There you go.
185
All right.
186
Well, I'm honored that you would come here first.
187
yeah man it's it's
188
so wild there's like such a vivid sense memory like my brain immediately goes to some party
189
that i was at like you know like
190
when i was you know 25
191
or whatever it's a trip i mean it tastes really good
192
but it is it is like it is it is a little freaky
193
if i'm being totally honest because it's so close
194
and again like back to what i was saying is now
195
that we are getting so close and it's really difficult to discern the difference.
196
It's so important to me
197
that this kind of color coded thing for our company becomes the gold standard of what non-alc is
198
so that you know there's no sense of doubt.
199
My brain is like, when am I going to feel it?
200
Like I can feel my brain going, okay, just give it a minute.
201
You'll start to feel it.
202
Yeah.
203
But it's not coming don't worry you could drink as many of those as you like
204
and drive home that's the hazy this is my favorite the
205
ipas were my go-to it's really juicy oh yeah i like
206
that one yeah that's nice i'm also reminded of several months
207
ago i had the guy who founded upside foods in here who is pioneering cellular meat.
208
So he's growing.
209
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
210
He's growing like chicken in these like brewing.
211
Yeah, I mean, it is a brewing process almost.
212
And he brought his chicken products.
213
So I haven't eaten meat in a very long time.
214
And tasting that was also like a weird.
215
I bet that was wild.
216
But it is real chicken just without the sentient animal.
217
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
218
Wow.
219
It's wild.
220
It's really interesting.
221
It's a crazy future.
222
I haven't tried it.
223
I'd be very interested to try it though.
224
I mean, It tasted exactly like it.
225
And he would say that it's actually a healthier because they can
226
toggle down the saturated fat or they can kind of make it a little bit healthier and it's not
227
infused with antibiotics and hormones and all the like.
228
It didn't grow up in some disgusting situation.
229
Eating shit and stuff.
230
And then also it has the texture and the flavor of what a chicken would have if it wasn't so domesticated.
231
You know, like more like before humans started to, you know, kind of screw with the genome and the living conditions.
232
And what I know this might sound like a stupid question.
233
But people have a huge thing.
234
They have like, there's a huge resistance to it.
235
Like there's a huge ick factor.
236
Like this is unnatural and I get that.
237
But when you consider how many billions of these animals are slaughtered and the conditions in which they're raised, like it begs the question of what is natural.
238
Yeah.
239
And also, like, look at bananas, like bananas aren't supposed to look like they do,
240
but they've been genetically denatured and modified to look that way and stay riper for longer and all that sort of stuff.
241
So even the things that we think are natural are not natural.
242
Right.
243
They grow the cells on like a lattice work, I guess.
244
Wow, that is crazy.
245
I don't know exactly how they do it.
246
There's a lot that goes into creating the right texture, etc. But, you know, they're basically like muscle cells that they're literally growing.
247
So they would just grow a chicken breast?
248
Basically, yeah.
249
How does it work with like growing a chicken leg?
250
I don't know.
251
Do they grow the bone in there?
252
I don't know.
253
I don't know.
254
But I mean, they're working on, you know, they have beef and chicken.
255
They can basically do whatever, you know.
256
And then you're like, well, could you like grow human meat?
257
Like, so many good people are going to be cannibals.
258
It's like weird.
259
But I guess that's like one step in the direction for like regenerative medicine of,
260
you know, amputees maybe in a hundred years down the line.
261
The future of what's possible.
262
Yeah, I went to some conference and there were some scientists and doctors who were pioneering, like growing heart tissue and lung tissue.
263
Yeah, it's like we're entering a crazy new world.
264
Yeah, I think skin grafts and stuff like that will change.
265
And we work with a charity called Deborah in the UK and their American equivalent is called EBRP.
266
It's a charity that helps kids with EB.
267
What's EB?
268
Which is a disease called epidermolysis bullosa.
269
and it's essentially like to my understanding we have nine layers of skin
270
that all move over each other that's why our skin is
271
so flexible but to someone with eb their skin is fused together
272
so they don't have that luxury so
273
if they were to quickly close their hands their skin would crack
274
and it's gnarly they bleed
275
and they're blistered all over their bodies they have terrible uh health complications down the line
276
and their life expectancy is very short.
277
The benefit to EB, though, is that there's only one degenerative gene, whereas with cancer, there's hundreds of thousands of genes that can go wrong.
278
So EB is at the forefront of gene therapy.
279
So when all these people are trying to use gene therapy to kind of change the world, EB is the one that they're trying to solve because they know what the defective gene is.
280
And they've now got these topical treatments and all sorts of different things that are working, that are like making a difference.
281
And there's no cure for it yet.
282
But they are on the precipice of curing it.
283
And when they cure it, and they unlock that technology, that will change the world.
284
That's cool.
285
Yeah, it'll be crazy.
286
And philanthropy is a big piece of your life too, right?
287
You have a trust and you have your tentacles in lots of different areas with that.
288
so for me what I love about the Brothers Trust
289
which is really the thing I'm most proud of is the ability to be boots on the ground
290
and see the difference that is made by helping these different people
291
and raising awareness for certain things like EB no one knows
292
about it yeah I've never heard of it no one's ever heard about it
293
so I love being able to bring attention to things like
294
that and all that sort of stuff and I love being able to see the difference that we make as a trust.
295
And we've traveled to see the different charities and I love it.
296
I really find it to be something I'm super passionate about.
297
And my mom, God bless her, she's an absolute saint.
298
She runs the whole family enterprise, right?
299
Yeah.
300
So my brothers and I are kind of like the face of the operation.
301
And then my mom is the engine and she runs it.
302
And it's a full-time job for her and she's great.
303
We couldn't do it without her.
304
I'm curious about your relationship with your own potential for transformation because you've put alcohol in the rear view.
305
This thing that was problematic, that was challenging and difficult for you to let go of, right?
306
Those experiences are transformative in and of themselves
307
because they give you this sense of possibility and potential when you unleash something latent like that, right?
308
What's currently challenging you or tripping you up now that maybe you need to look at or address?
309
I think the biggest thing that I'm facing right now, which is without a shadow of a doubt,
310
the most first world problem that anyone has ever experienced is the power of choice.
311
And it comes down to Spider-Man.
312
When I signed my contract for Spider-Man one, I signed a six picture deal.
313
I was 18 years old.
314
I was more excited than I'd ever been about anything ever.
315
and for the last 10 years, I have been at the beck and call of Marvel and Sony and proudly so.
316
It's been the best experience of my life.
317
I'm now at a juncture where I can say no and now that I've been afforded that power,
318
I am struggling to figure out what is the right thing to do.
319
It's meant I've had to put my foot down in certain instances, which I haven't been allowed to do in the past.
320
And I think the learning curve that I'm on right now is dealing with that new sense of power, making sure that I don't abuse it,
321
but making sure that I do the best thing for me rather than for the studio.
322
And really the best thing for the character.
323
I don't want to make another movie for the sake of making it.
324
The studio wants you to make another Spider-Man.
325
Yeah.
326
Yeah.
327
Yeah, they do.
328
And I want to make another one.
329
I want to make many more, but I want to do it for the right reasons.
330
And now, like I said to you earlier, sometimes I miss the day when getting the job was the win.
331
I am navigating and figuring out what having that kind of power means and that responsibility.
332
Yeah.
333
And I'm figuring it out and I'm speaking to people and asking questions.
334
And, you know, I've been speaking to Downey a lot, especially about him making his return, which is super exciting.
335
He's back.
336
He's gone on that exploration and he still came back to do more.
337
That was a tough secret to sit on
338
because I have a reputation for ruining things and I strategically have done no press.
339
You're a little loose-lipped around MCU secrets.
340
Yeah.
341
I guess in terms of challenges or things that I'm dealing with, that would be it.
342
And I'm by no means complaining.
343
It's a wonderful place to be.
344
But it is something that keeps me up at night, and I'm constantly thinking of like, is this the right thing to do?
345
Am I going to do justice to the character?
346
Am I going to do justice to the fans?
347
I definitely don't want to just make a movie for the sake of it, because that's not what Spider-Man represents.
348
So yeah, it's a complicated one. That is.
349
That is complicated.
350
It's going really well, though.
351
Yeah, it is.
352
This is what we call a high-quality problem.
353
You know, it's like cry me a river, right?
354
But it's a problem nonetheless.
355
And it's a huge decision that has, you know, kind of downstream implications for a lot of people, right?
356
And also interesting to me, because I've heard you talk about being sort of an unrepentant people pleaser, right?
357
And so it's confronting you with your innate people pleasing tendencies to try to make a decision outside of that,
358
that is not only in your best interest, but in the best interest of the franchise.
359
And what is in service to this character that's much larger than you and what you wanna do.
360
And the fans as well.
361
I owe everything to the fans of Marvel and myself.
362
They've been so kind and generous to me.
363
Like after Civil War came out, I felt like Civil War was my audition to the world.
364
Like I'd gotten the part of Spider-Man.
365
I did the film with the Russo brothers and that came out and that to me felt like my, will you embrace me as Spider-Man?
366
And they did.
367
And I'm so grateful that they did.
368
And I feel like I owe it to them to give
369
and deliver the best version of what the next chapter for Spider-Man looks like.
370
And I think that's really important.
371
And I think the creative integrity for something like that is really important.
372
And the studio is on board and supportive and really collaborative.
373
And I've been so blown away by how welcoming they've been into that creative room.
374
But, you know, we're working now with the pedal is to the metal.
375
We're trying to get it going as soon as possible.
376
Things are looking great, but there's still a lot of moving pieces
377
that need to come together for us to hit the ground running.
378
Right.
379
So what is the ticking clock on this decision and what are the variables?
380
Is it the script, the team, the story?
381
Like, how are you going to make this decision?
382
What are the factors that come into play that's going to sway you one way or the other?
383
I'm not really sure about how much I can talk about
384
in terms of what are some of the challenges we face creatively and logistically.
385
No one's listening.
386
You know, come on.
387
Obviously, one of the things to like bear in mind with Marvel is
388
that there is your film is a small cog in a large machine and that machine has got to keep running.
389
And you need to make sure that you can fit into
390
that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture infinite number of machines across the multiverse yes exactly
391
so you know that's one of the challenges we're facing and
392
and the time in which we need to get
393
that done is a tall order
394
but definitely achievable um with the fantastic people we have working on it now
395
but my biggest thing is the creative we have a creative
396
and a pitch and a draft which is excellent it needs work
397
but the writers are doing a great job
398
and i read it three weeks ago
399
and it really like lit a fire in me so nair
400
and i sat down and read it together
401
and we at times were like bouncing around the living room
402
like this is a real movie worthy of like the fans respect
403
but there's a few things we need to figure out before we can we can get
404
that really going but it's exciting and i'm really really excited about it.
405
You straddled that question well and avoided all the political pitfalls.
406
Every bit of media training kicked in there.
407
Yes.
408
Well done.
409
Thank you.
410
Well done.
411
It's not for me to say whether you disclosed something you shouldn't have, but it was handled beautifully.
412
Yeah.
413
If this had alcohol in it, I'd be in trouble.
414
I know.
415
Yeah.
416
I'm like, am I drunk?
417
No, I'm not drunk.
418
No. Are you having a good time?
419
Well, why don't we close us out with just a few reflections or thoughts for somebody who's flirting with, you know, the alcohol-free lifestyle.
420
Maybe alcohol is a problem, maybe it's not, but they've been inspired about what you had to share about like how much better your life is
421
and they're looking to take the first step.
422
Like where does that person begin?
423
How should they navigate it?
424
What can they expect?
425
And maybe some tools that might be helpful.
426
Well, I think for me, try a life of less and, And I think what we have here with Biro is a beer that does both.
427
It scratches the itch of wanting to have that drink, but you don't have to sacrifice the next day.
428
I think that it's a beautiful journey, one that I've made friends for life on,
429
people that I've related to and built relationships with that I didn't have before, but then through sobriety, we've become really close friends.
430
And I just think there's no harm in giving it a go
431
because my lawyer is sober and he's someone that has been really helpful for me, especially in times where I've been at a bar like, oh, I want to have a drink.
432
And he gave me a piece of advice once, which was really helpful, which was you'll never wake up the next day and say, oh, I wish I had a drink last night.
433
Never.
434
And that for me has been really helpful.
435
And I hope that Biro can fill that void for people.
436
I'm really proud to be here today
437
and I'm really proud to have a product
438
that I can stand 10 toes down and represent
439
and believe in the message and know that there's more to this product than making money.
440
Like I really want to make a difference in this space
441
and I really want people to have something that helps them feel included.
442
Very cool.
443
So if people want to learn more about Bureau and pick some up, how do they do that?
444
So October 16th, bureaubrewing.com.
445
You can get it nationwide and then 1st of January next year, just in time for dry January, we should be in stores nationwide at some major retailers.
446
Hopefully it will grow and grow and grow and the community will grow with it.
447
It's a mission.
448
Yeah.
449
No, it's a mission. And it's needed.
450
You know, there's a lot of people out there suffering unnecessarily, unaware that a better experience of life is freely available.
451
And that's the beautiful thing.
452
It's not even freely available.
453
It's like cheaper.
454
Yeah, that's right, right?
455
It's not even free.
456
It's like you're essentially pay you to do it.
457
Yeah.
458
And if you're hung up about what your friends are going to say, everyone's self-obsessed.
459
They're not thinking about you anyway.
460
And you can put one of these bureaus in your hand and no one will know that.
461
No one will be the wiser and everything is going to be fine.
462
Exactly.
463
There you go.
464
And I feel like with something like this in your hand, like no one's going to be questioning whether that's got booze in it or not because it's a beer.
465
It looks like a beer can.
466
It doesn't have less than.
467
It's brewed the same.
468
It's a beer.
469
It's not blue either.
470
And it's not blue.
471
When we were working with the colors, because I like the idea that the different colors are easy to remember.
472
Something I don't like about craft brewery is when you go to the bar and they're like, which one do you want?
473
And you're like, I don't know the names of them.
474
There's like seven different hazy these and hazy that.
475
I like the idea of like, I like an IPA, give me the red one.
476
I like a Pilsner, give me the green one.
477
Simple.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
