Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to Will and Woody.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Hey's Willing wood He brought to you by NAB this afternoon.
It's not very often you get to say this, but
Chris Hemsworth and and your Taylor Joy join us right
now on the show to talk all about Furiosa, a
mad Max Saga, God.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Than guys, Hey, guys.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Just before we get into this, I just did to
clear something up very very quickly, Chris, what he's been
saying for the two days in the lead up to
this interview, that there is a world in which he
thinks you know who he is. Can you just clarify
for me very quickly, you do not know who Woody is.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
I can't see. It's all blurry. Would you give me
a hint? Take those things.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Off Celebrity Apprentice two years ago.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
I was the sideline commentator on nin Je Warrior.
Speaker 4 (01:02):
Yes, yeah, Dancing with the Stars followed by Ninja Warrior.
That was my.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
I think we've all confirmed that you have no idea
who he is. Now we can get on with things.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
And that's all that matters.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
And that's all that matters.
Speaker 5 (01:21):
And I think that's why, given that we're such close friends, Chris,
it was so weird seeing you on screen as a
completely different person, like unrecognizable and quite just it was
so much more than the prosthetics as well.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You had a whoppers.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
I was on there a big beard, rank teeth, but mate,
you completely changed your voice, your mannerisms. So to kick
off like, congratulations on that, like it really was a
great performance.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Ah, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
And yeah, I'm coming for you now because I truly
believe you're the best I actor in the world.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Oh, thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
I just through a lot of the film, all you
can see is your eyes, but I always knew what
your character.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Was thinking or feeling.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
And to prove this right now, if you would, could
you maybe say something about Chris just using your eyes
and Chris, you can interpret what she's saying.
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Yes, I'll hand you that bottle of water.
Speaker 7 (02:27):
Very interesting.
Speaker 6 (02:30):
I didn't think there's anyone else on the planet who
has that amount of depth pour out of her soul.
And I often found myself standing opposite on set just
in a hypnotic state.
Speaker 4 (02:39):
Thanks one of my lines. Again, impressive, No, it is
intimidating and impressive.
Speaker 7 (02:49):
Of the coin though, if you think about these two performances,
I think that's what's so exciting about it. It's the
tension between the two, like incredibly different people that are
coming at the same level of intensity, just from opposite
and to the spectrum. I don't think you can imagine
talking that much. She's just like, what, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Yeah, well speaking intimidating. The other thing that I thought
it was fascinating is it?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Am I right in saying any that you learned to
drive for this movie? From Mad Max movie?
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (03:19):
So I still don't have my license, but I can
do some very cool stuff.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Is I feel like that's so much fun walking up
to the Orca that's going to play Free Willy and
being like you can't swim. It really is like, I
feel like it's a prerequisite. Okay, cool, you want to
be in Mad Max?
Speaker 5 (03:36):
Great?
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Have you got your driver's license?
Speaker 4 (03:38):
No, listen, it's.
Speaker 7 (03:40):
Not out of laziness. I've just been working back to
back for ten years, so I'm never in any place
long enough to actually get my license. I thought I
was going to get it out here in Australia. This
is the longest I've ever been in one place, six months.
Sydney and Brokenhill.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
This is where she would love to have a broken
automatically gets a license in any kind.
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Without giving too much away, they are like, there are
flipped cars and a lot of accidents in the Mad
Movie comes to the territory, I'm not sure if you're
putting your best foot forward if you want to drive
in license after that film, An, yeah, sorry, I want
to pick up what you were talking about with the
(04:21):
two characters that very very different people, And I'd say
the whole movie is pretty much predicated on the fact
that Anya, you hate Chris right, and I wonder, well, but.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That's not what guys are saying. Something else, Well, well,
I do.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
But did you have to be a little bit wary
around when the cameras were off, not getting too friendly
because you had to maintain that hate on camera because
it was so real?
Speaker 2 (04:58):
No?
Speaker 7 (04:58):
No, no, no, no, absolutely not. Actually, Like, when I think
about the most intense moments that we share together, it
always makes me laugh because it's like anger, violence, and
then the second that it finishes, I'm like, are you okay?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Can I get you water?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Like what do you need? And he's like, for the
love of God, like it's.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
Fine, It's gonna be okay, But no, I think honestly,
what it was is we got along really great at
the beginning, but then we got sent to opposite ends
of this universe. So when we finally got the chance
to get back together again, it was kind of a relief.
Speaker 6 (05:29):
Yeah, geograph film and its out fifteen years and yeah,
a lot of se separate in an other vehicle. And
so she was saying, you know, we'd be waving at
each other across the ya, how's your weekend.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
That's what we're bursting in our minds. By the way,
we're going m hate you.
Speaker 4 (05:53):
Anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:54):
So while they watched, the.
Speaker 5 (05:59):
People watched and maybe no, that's your inner monologue.
Speaker 8 (06:04):
My biography Chris after story, Oh that's good gear.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
We got more with Chris Hemsworth and your Taylor Joy.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Right up next they're talking all about Furiosa, a Mad
Max Saga, which is in Cinema's a May twenty three.
More with the two of these absolute superstars right up
next time, Well them wod it's kiss.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Hate, billing body this brand new Mad Max movie.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's called Furiosa, a Mad Max Saga, stars Chris Hemsworth
and your Taylor at Joy and they join us right
now amazingly guys, Welcome back to Will and Woody.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Chris.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
I want to bring this up to you because I
I I read something about you recently, an interview that
you did with Vanity Fair talking about your role as Thor,
and I know, would you pick this up just before
about the different sort of character that you played in
Mad Max, And I know you said that you felt
like you were pretty replaceable compared to some of your
co stars in the Marvel franchise. And I feel as
(07:01):
if did you feel as if this was an opportunity
to kind of like push yourself into a different area
of the craft that you hadn't been in for a
long time.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
Yeah, I think just.
Speaker 6 (07:10):
What I had felt at a certain point in the
in the franchise, in the Marvel space that I was
just kind of doing the same thing.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
I was like, we've got to kind of mixed up.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
And that's when Tiger came along and Ragnarok were able
to sort of pivot.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
And then make it fun more time.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
But like for a period I did I felt like this,
I'm not I'm not being given a lot, nor am
I you know, there's I'm not there's not the opportunity
to sort of contribute to something and where's you know,
and then again I've played that character what eight or
nine times now, and you kind of run out of ideas,
and this it was a completely new landscape. There was,
(07:47):
you know, the opportunity to play the villain all of
a sudden, I didn't have to abide by the sort
of rules and expectations the hero. I could kind of
be a little more sort of free and unpredictable and
run wild. And so it was creatively really satisfying, yea,
And creatively to sort of, you know, have the sort
of physical transformation and look in the mirror and go,
(08:09):
I don't know who that is staring back at me,
and and just kind of.
Speaker 4 (08:14):
Again have fun, you know, like to enjoy it.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
As simple as as it sounds, it's like, just get
back to that playfulness and enjoy that. As kids we
have access to immediately and in abundance, and then the
older we get the sort of critic and the voice
and the judgment and so on and whatever comes into
play with George created such a such a beautiful script,
but also an environment where it was about kind of
(08:37):
you know, interpret show us, to show us what you
want to do.
Speaker 4 (08:40):
Experiment try. I think take risks and a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Irony there.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
There's irony in the fact that you're kind of playing
a character who's you know, became sort of defined by
this idea of sort of laconic fun. But then that
the fun became restrictive, and then when you've got a
chance to go and play a villain, that's what you
found all liberating, which which and you can see that
by the way, as soon as I walked into the cinema,
I was like, oh wow. And for me, a test
(09:05):
of a really great actor enjoying what they're doing is
I don't recognize the actor, and they had something a
lot to do with the prosthesis, but the accident manners, Yeah, yourself,
it was it's really as the department.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
I got to thank Luca Vanilla and Mateo Silvester who
helped me design that sort of look and the character.
We spent a number of weeks doing that.
Speaker 5 (09:28):
So did you really want to make yourself look as
scary as possible? I think I felt it's an ulterior
motive here because your wife Elsa also has a cameo
where she's shooting a sniper rifle off a horse.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
And then obviously you're terrifying as well.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Was the big plan here just a way of scaring
your kids by showing them that movie so they don't
do anything in the.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Future less they're not scared easily. Let me say that.
Speaker 6 (09:59):
In fact, if I was to head off into the
wasteland and bring three things with me to survive and
be my kids and send them out into the fray,
more intimidating than you know, than anything.
Speaker 5 (10:10):
But yeah, I just imagine the dinner table now also
bringing out the sniper rifle prop gun and it's like
your broccoli.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
You know, I'll do your homework.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Guys.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
It's been really nice to meet both of you, be
introduced to both of you. Congratulations on what is an
epic movie Furio so Mad Max Saga in cinemas May
twenty three, and Chris, been a pleasure.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
