"Will you play guitar for David Brent?" Greg takes Johnny Depp and James Bobin through the looking glass
25 May 2016
"I was a huge Ali G fan" - Johnny and James talk about Sacha Baron-Cohen joining the 'Alice' films
Johnny spoke about Sacha's talent giving him a challenge - "He's one of those actors that you can get into the ring with and just do anything. You can throw anything at him and he'll just hook it back and force you to come up with something."
James said he spotted a natural competition between the two actors; "I could instinctively tell that you guys were naturally competitive and interestingly both on and off camera, which I love. And then you can use that energy in the scene itself, because the scene is like a duel between Hatter and Time"
"I just sent Ricky an email saying 'Listen, I just spent some quality time with Stephen Merchant so I don't need you anymore'"
Greg asked a question for Ricky Gervais, a friend and collaborator of Johnny's, who's apparently not too happy with him currently.
"Would Johnny be a guest guitarist on one of my gigs as David Brent in LA, so it's like two ends of the cool spectrum?"
Johnny said he would!
Clearing up some rumors, though, he's not sure if he's moving to Manchester - he's apparently never been there. But he may have bought a bath in Norwich...
