1
Hello, I mean, everybody leads with this, but I'm so sorry, but 13 siblings?
2
I know, it's one of those things, you don't...
3
Is Christmas hell?
4
Yeah, it feels a little bit just like all these people here, I'm like, everyone's a family member.
5
No, Christmas is wonderful.
6
It's one of these funny things about my life that I don't think is strange until people ask me about anything.
7
Yeah, I guess that is kind of strange, isn't it?
8
13 siblings.
9
Do you have to buy presents for every...
10
Do you all do like, and then there's cousins and then there, those people multiply.
11
And they do, they keep, and I'm at the point in life where everyone's getting married and having kids.
12
You're like, oh my God, there are so many of us.
13
My dad told me this the other day, he has 21 grandchildren now.
14
Isn't that crazy?
15
I know.
16
What a footprint to leave by, honest.
17
I know, exactly.
18
That's amazing.
19
But no, we never do, we never buy presents.
20
We do, you know, like Secret Santa?
21
Yeah, I love it.
22
We do that.
23
So we'll sort of pick names out of a hat.
24
Oh, what a, take the pressure off.
25
We could probably do it for 30 years
26
and still never get the same name twice you know yeah oh my god that's so funny
27
and sad um that's just my life no wait as it's also awesome
28
i'm just kidding that's actually a cool thing to have
29
that much family surrounding you
30
but um as britsa will you do have you ever celebrated thanksgiving have you ever been over here well
31
i've been here twice i've uh been here for thanksgiving
32
which i just love we obviously don't have it back in my country
33
but um going over to people's houses and get like beginning to be with their families and stuff, the amazing food, I love it.
34
It's a wonderful holiday, yeah.
35
Yeah, it's a no pressure one for big families.
36
Yes.
37
So wait, so you and Daisy, you've done a few projects together.
38
Do you like, do y 'all like doing projects together and working together when it collides?
39
Completely, I love it.
40
Daisy's my favorite person.
41
She's one of my favorite actors.
42
Exactly, so working with her is wonderful.
43
We obviously met on the movie, Murder on the Orient Express, and oh look, there we are now.
44
Yeah.
45
And working with her is wonderful.
46
I wrote a movie, I've written a bunch, but the the first one that um was made was one
47
that we made together i wrote it for daisy it's called magpie it came out last year
48
and uh it was one of my favorite writing experiences she's one of my favorite actors
49
so to write for her was just um this is my question though
50
because i have worked with a significant other is it easy to be
51
that kind of honest like when like with each are you all good at
52
that we are we don't skirt around it no
53
and she really does she's very um honest in direct yeah yeah that's good like something
54
or doesn't like it but um yeah no
55
Oh, we love it.
56
And also, our tastes align, but we love what we do so much.
57
And if we ever have a difference of opinion over a movie or something, it's always interesting to hear the other person's point of view.
58
I find her point of view fascinating, even if I love something and she hated it.
59
Well, you're both open.
60
Okay, that works.
61
Yeah, so it works.
62
Yeah.
63
Yeah, that's wonderful.
64
All right.
65
Because a lot of times you get pulled away on projects
66
and you don't see a significant other in your line of work.
67
So it's kind of nice when it does align.
68
Yeah.
69
Your new film is Hedda.
70
So it's loosely based on a classic stage play, right?
71
That's correct.
72
So explain to everybody kind of what it's about.
73
Hedda Gabler, written by Henrik Ibsen, is a classic play.
74
I've actually, I studied it for A -level literature.
75
I have performed in it as a different character.
76
I played Islet Loveborg.
77
Oh, that's cool.
78
You get to dive in now.
79
Yeah, it was super fun.
80
So I thought I really knew this text, but what Nia DaCosta, the writer -director, has done with it, is totally, she's modernized it.
81
It's set in the 1950s.
82
She's set it all over the course of one party, right?
83
And so it's like a really intense, amazing kind of salt burn meets...
84
I don't know.
85
Do you know what I mean?
86
It has elements of that.
87
It's beautiful.
88
It's gorgeous.
89
Oh, it's so beautiful.
90
Sean Barber, our director of photography, did an amazing job.
91
But playing this character is amazing, because I thought I knew the play.
92
I thought I knew this material.
93
When I read what Nia had done, I thought, my God, I had no idea what could be possible with this kind of adaptation.
94
She really just opened it all up.
95
Because it's pushed forward.
96
It's now in the, is it based in the 40s?
97
1950s.
98
50s, yeah.
99
And she's gender -swapped one of the characters.
100
So the character that I played when I left drama school, Islet Loveborg, is now Eileen Loveborg, played by the amazing Nina Haas.
101
So we also have this sort of sexuality tension between Tessa and her, and it's an amazing film.
102
It's an amazing piece.
103
I love tension.
104
This is tension from the off, you know?
105
It's a whole night of that, and people not showing who they truly are they're playing games with each other.
106
Everyone's just sort of moving each other around like a little chess piece, lying, stabbing each other in the back.
107
So it was a real, real lovely, great work to be doing.
108
Yeah, it's beautiful and gorgeous as well.
109
So well done, the whole thing.
110
All right, well, let's take another break, everybody.
111
Hedda is now streaming on Prime Video.
112
Thank you so much.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
