‘Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy’ Cast Play Never Have I Ever

Hi, I'm Peppa Pig.

[Renee laughing]

I don't have any talent.

Uh-uh!

[group giggling]

Hi, British Vogue, I'm Renee.

I'm Chiwetel.

I'm Leo.

And I think we're gonna play Never Have I Ever.

[paper rustling]

Never have I ever applied a line from Bridget Jones

to a real life situation.

Every day. [laughs]

Oh, come the [beep] on. [group laughs]

Fight. That's mine.

It's a real fight.

[group laughs]

They sneak out all the time.

You know, all the Bridget-isms and the British-isms.

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

They find their way in.

Crikey. [laughs]

[paper rustling]

Never have I ever got the giggles

while acting out a scene.

Total unprofessional.

On stage I've done it.

In what play?

Othello.

Wow. Tell us, tell us. [Renee screams]

So there was,

the floor was kind of cobbled stony situation.

Yes. Mm.

It was Ewan McGregor playing Iago.

Uh-huh.

As I was running at him,

the sword got stuck in the little cobbles,

it flicked up and it caught him right across the codpiece.

[Renee and Leo giggling]

To which a member of the audience went, Ooh.

[Renee laughing]

Oh, that's it. That's really good.

Oh, that's it.

Oh, that would be over.

It was, it was a bit of a problem for the moment.

Right, here we go.

I'm going right on the top. Boom.

Never have I ever been starstruck.

I met you guys.

I was gonna say that. I was gonna say that.

I was recently doing some ADR,

and this giant figure was walking towards me,

and there was lots of people,

so I didn't realize this person was walking towards me.

It was Idris Elba, and I was instantly back-footed.

How about you?

Well, I did meet Peppa Pig.

What?

Real Peppa Pig.

What does that mean?

I went to Peppa Pig World.

You did? Wow.

I'd just like to ask, was this research?

When there are little people in your life.

Was this? Oh.

Well, you forget how much

you've actually then become accustomed to seeing Peppa Pig,

and then she walks out.

Yeah. Hi, I'm Peppa Pig.

And then there was George, and everybody was out,

and I thought, that's Peppa Pig.

[group laughing]

Great.

[paper rustling] [Renee laughs]

That's a good rustle.

Everybody gets a chance here, see.

Never have I ever kept a diary.

I've definitely kept a diary. Aw.

I feel like I've journaled in my phone

if I need to, you know, hash something out in my head.

Is that Gen Z? Are you Gen Z?

Yeah, the Gen Z journal. It's a Gen Z diary.

See, this guy over here looks interesting.

Yeah. Let's see.

Oh [laughs].

Never have I ever been pranked by someone on set.

Hmm.

What? Ah.

I put this, because I feel like I have,

but I just can't remember what it was.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever been pranked.

We failed. Failed.

I was waiting. Next time?

[Leo laughs]

Every time I came in the trailer.

Went home and was really upset.

On the last day, it's like, nothing?

What was yours? Do you remember?

Oh, gosh, I mean, I've been working for a while [laughs],

and I've worked with some notorious pranksters,

and I can't tell you.

You can't tell us the prank?

No. No. Really?

No. I'm not sure they're legal.

[Leo chuckles]

[paper rustling]

Oh, I like [indistinct]. Drama.

Never have I ever been in a talent show.

Ooh. Ooh.

It involved some sequins and a baton.

No, I was a gymnast, so yeah, we always did the talent show.

It was a thing.

Did you win?

I don't remember.

Okay.

That means no. And that's not a cop-out.

[Leo and Chiwetel laugh]

What would my talent be?

I don't have any talent.

[laughs] The sad truth is there is...

This is it. [laughs]

I simply wouldn't-

Do a soliloquy. Be able to enter.

[group laughs]

I would look at the list, saying no, no,

no, I can't do that, no.

Okay. Oh, good.

Never have I ever had stage fright.

Never? Never?

Haven't done a play.

Oh, you haven't done a play.

Well, it'd be hard to get stage fright

without [laughs] being in a play.

When did you get stage fright?

In like a presenting moment at a,

it was a charity event with a bunch of kids, actually.

Ooh. Isn't that interesting?

Have you guys ever presented an award?

Rami, when he won his Oscar.

Did you present it to Rami?

Wow. Wow.

I know! Wow.

No, it was the other way around.

Oh, he presented it to you?

Yes.

Wow. Sorry.

It's all right, it's-

Stage fright. Quite an important detail-

Stage fright. To get mixed up.

But he was there, and it was cool.

Well, that was fun.

That was fun. [Renee laughs]

Thank you, British Vogue.

Goodbye. Bye.
