1. 0:00None of my characters would give any
2. 0:02good breakup advice. They're all so full
3. 0:04of pain.
4. 0:09Hello, I'm Jamie Campbell Bower and we
5. 0:11are behind the scenes in my Rolling
6. 0:13Stone UK publish.
7. 0:16>> Which of your characters would be most
8. 0:18helpful in a zombie apocalypse? I think
9. 0:20[music] that the most helpful character
10. 0:23that I have played who would be useful
11. 0:26[music] in a zombie apocalypse would be
12. 0:28VCnner purely because he's just huge and
13. 0:31it's part zombie already. So maybe he'd
14. 0:33like fit in. How would I fair in a
15. 0:35zombie apocalypse? I'd like to think I
16. 0:36would fair quite [music] well in the
17. 0:37zombie apocalypse. I'm quite a fan of
18. 0:39like disaster movies. So I've always
19. 0:42thought about like where I would go and
20. 0:44what I [music] would do. And I have some
21. 0:46friends who have some like houses in
22. 0:49[music] the deep countryside and I think
23. 0:51I'd probably go there. If they'd let me
24. 0:53in or not is up to [music] them, but
25. 0:55yeah, I think I'd like to fare. Okay.
26. 0:57>> Which of your characters would you start
27. 0:59a band with? [music]
28. 1:00>> I would start a band with Christopher
29. 1:03Marlo, who was a character that I played
30. 1:05in a television [music] series called
31. 1:06Will, which was written by Craig Pierce.
32. 1:10And Craig has worked a lot with Baz
33. 1:12Lurman. [music] And I Marlo was always
34. 1:15like very rock and roll in like our
35. 1:16depiction of him. Anyway, so I feel like
36. 1:18Christopher Marlo [music] would be the
37. 1:20perfect choice to start. The genre would
38. 1:23be um Barack [music] Chamber music and I
39. 1:27would play the Heartsord.
40. 1:29>> Which of your characters would have the
41. 1:31best music playlist?
42. 1:33>> The [music] character that would have
43. 1:34the best music playlist would be VNA for
44. 1:36sure. purely because music was such a
45. 1:40huge part [music] of creating that
46. 1:42character for me. And I've used music
47. 1:44before for characters, but certainly not
48. 1:47as [music] much as I used it for Vecna.
49. 1:48And it became a real grounding point
50. 1:51both in the preparation, you know,
51. 1:54offstage and also [music] on stage
52. 1:56getting ready and prior to takes as
53. 1:57well. So Vecner has the darkest baddest
54. 2:00players for sure. or [music] Skiff, who
55. 2:03was a character I played in Thomas and
56. 2:06Friends, which is Thomas [music] the
57. 2:08Tank Engine. What music I listen to to
58. 2:10play Beckner? I use a lot of like
59. 2:12heavier music. I mean, I used to play
60. 2:14[music] heavier music and so it's always
61. 2:17kind of been in my blood, but I [music]
62. 2:19went to artists like Sun O and Frail,
63. 2:23who you're listening to earlier, artists
64. 2:25in that similar vein. Um, artists like
65. 2:27Darker, Chelsea Wolf, [music]
66. 2:29Norma Jean, sort of the heavier and more
67. 2:34earthy the better was what I was leaning
68. 2:37into for that. Pump it up by Joe Budden
69. 2:40[music] is on there for VCMA's Playlist
70. 2:42List. No. Um, translational um, Anna by
71. 2:46Normma Jean. Anything by Sono, as I
72. 2:48already [music] mentioned,
73. 2:50uh, maybe something from Nick Cave's
74. 2:53Murder Ballads at some point. I don't
75. 2:55know. Anything [music]
76. 2:56from the last two architects albums
77. 2:59would be on there. Um, but Normagene was
78. 3:02the one that I [music] would always use
79. 3:04and Anna was a particular song that I
80. 3:06would always use before I would walk on
81. 3:07set. And I feel like I'm now telling how
82. 3:10the sausage is made. That is what I
83. 3:12would use. It's funny the strangest
84. 3:14thing on my playlist um
85. 3:17probably [music]
86. 3:18in the USA by Miley [laughter] Cyrus. It
87. 3:21was a song that like or the climb. I
88. 3:23love the song The Climb by Miley Cyrus.
89. 3:26It was a song that I came to whilst I
90. 3:28was working on [music]
91. 3:29um it came out at the same time I was
92. 3:31working on Twilight, the second one. Um
93. 3:35[music] and it's just a really emotional
94. 3:37song. So, I I love that song. It's a
95. 3:40beautiful song.
96. 3:41>> Which character would be the best
97. 3:43shopping companion?
98. 3:44>> The best shopping companion? I it it's a
99. 3:47tossup between [music] two. It's a toss
100. 3:49up between Ka's from Twilight purely
101. 3:52because [music] of capes and suits. Um,
102. 3:55who doesn't love a cape? But also Marlo.
103. 3:57Marlo when we [music] played him and
104. 4:00like the costumes that were made for him
105. 4:01were so extra and sparkly and beautiful.
106. 4:06Stolen. [music] My personal style is
107. 4:08just stolen goods.
108. 4:10>> Which character would be the most useful
109. 4:12in a heist? The most [music] useful
110. 4:14character in a heist would either be
111. 4:17Anthony Hope because he was so innocent
112. 4:20from Sweeney Todd. He's so young. I feel
113. 4:22like he'd be like, "No, it wasn't me."
114. 4:23Or Skiff again from Thomas and Friends
115. 4:25cuz he's a boat [music] and why would a
116. 4:28boat commit a crime?
117. 4:30>> Which character would be the best
118. 4:32karaoke partner? Perfect karaoke [music]
119. 4:35part
120. 4:37of characters that I have played would
121. 4:40be Vetner because [music] he sounds like
122. 4:44Tom Weights and I would get Becknner to
123. 4:46sing a Tom Weight song and maybe do a
124. 4:48duet with me, you know, [music] kind of
125. 4:51sort of Tom Joneses, Tom Jones Catatonia
126. 4:54style duet. Um, and my karaoke song is
127. 4:57Anything by Frank Sinatra, but I haven't
128. 4:59gone to karaoke [music] for years. You
129. 5:01reminded me I should go and sing some
130. 5:02karaoke. I'm 37.
131. 5:07I like tea.
132. 5:08>> Which character would you like to swap
133. 5:10places with for the day?
134. 5:11>> I played MC Jagger in [laughter] in a
135. 5:15sky thing called Urban Myths. It was a
136. 5:18long time ago. Uh I would just like to
137. 5:20be [music] MC Jagger for a day. That
138. 5:22would be great.
139. 5:22>> Which character would you want on your
140. 5:25football team?
141. 5:26>> I wouldn't want any character that I
142. 5:27played to be on a football team. [music]
143. 5:29Apart from actually, do you know what
144. 5:31that's a lie? I was fortunate enough to
145. 5:34play Joe the football coach in Bend It
146. 5:37Like Beckham on stage, which is at the
147. 5:39Phoenix Theater, which is where the
148. 5:40Stranger Things [music] show is on.
149. 5:42Granted though, I can't play football
150. 5:44for Just letting everyone [music]
151. 5:46know that.
152. 5:47>> Which character would give the best
153. 5:49breakup advice?
154. 5:50>> None of my characters would give any
155. 5:52good breakup advice. They're all so full
156. 5:54of pain.
