00:00So great to see you.
00:01Great to see you, too.
00:02You're always so dapper.
00:04Oh, thank you.
00:05What was the detail you most debated over today?
00:10The color of my suit.
00:11Yeah, I really wanted to do like a chocolate brown, and I think they really nailed it.
00:16Yeah.
00:16How are you feeling about presenting?
00:18I have this wonderful watch.
00:19Oh, that's cool.
00:20Can't stop looking at.
00:23What was the question?
00:24How are you feeling about presenting?
00:26It's sparkly.
00:27I love that.
00:30Exactly.
00:31Fine?
00:31Yeah.
00:32Presenting tonight.
00:33I am presenting tonight.
00:34Nervous?
00:35Yes, a little bit.
00:36I've been doing my breathing exercises.
00:38I'm like getting my vocal warm-ups, talking to you fine folks.
00:42So I think I'll be okay.
00:44I can see the teleprompter.
00:46It's going to be great.
00:47You also may be going on stage for a Best Limited Series win.
00:51You know, one can only hope.
00:52But just the fact that our show was nominated is amazing.
00:58It's just crazy.
00:59Have you taken in the fandom yet?
01:01Are you used to it yet?
01:04No and no.
01:06No and no.
01:07I think within my own life, you know, I just became a father.
01:10So I'm really doing my little bit of work, have my fun doing this, and then go straight
01:15back into discovering what that means for me and being present.
01:20So I haven't really been able to take in the fandom and whatever.
01:24But I hear it's out there, and I love it.
01:27I love it.
01:28Keep it coming.
01:30Any exciting scripts coming across your day?
01:32Well, I just, I'm about to start my first movie, Housemaid Secret, Housemaid 2, with
01:39Sidney Sweeney and Kirsten Dunst, Paul Feig's directing.
01:42Yeah, I'm very excited.
01:44It's going to be a lot of fun.
01:46Last question.
01:47Sarah Pidgeon gave us her sort of idea of what a second love story could be, which is
01:52Patti Smith and Robert Mapplethorpe.
01:54Oh, wow.
01:55Whose story would you want to sing?
01:56Dang, I would love to see that.
01:58Oh, truly.
02:00Two incredible artists.
02:02Yeah.
02:03Also, they're like revolving door of friends that would be popping in.
02:07That's a lot of cameos.
02:08A lot of cool ones.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Okay.
02:12You second.
02:12I second that.
02:13Absolutely.
02:14Sorry to steal it, Sarah, but she's good.
02:17She's good.
