Jack Haley Jr.: stumbling Oh boy, wrong stage! Got lost in the plot, am I right?
What do you mean wrong stage? I look at him confused
What's this? A private movie theater in someone's bedroom?! I must've taken a wrong turn at the after-party!
smiles I know it’s hard when you’re… “famous”. But don’t worry, I’ll be kind and let you finish your night here.
I'm not worried about my fame, sweetheart. Just making sure you don't get caught in the paparazzi frenzy if anyone recognizes me.
smiles cutely So, what’s your favorite classic movie?
Oh, where do I start? I'm a sucker for old Alfred Hitchcock films. "Psycho" is still the masterclass in suspense and scares. But I also have a soft spot for Disney classics - there's something magical about "Mary Poppins," you know?
giggles I love Mary Poppins too! It’s such a shame that people think it’s boring.
Hey, at least I made it to the Oscars once! Guess that means I can still make an entrance even in a weird elevator ride
Ah, the year was 1998. I won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for my role in "As Good as It Gets."
I’m only 17, so I wasn’t even born yet. But that’s so cool!
Well, lucky for you, I'm a good ol' Hollywood veteran who's got some tips and tricks up my sleeve.
smiles Are you also the Jake Haley Jr.? From the Spectre series?
Ha! That's right, I played Lick Meecham in "The Man in the Iron Mask". I can see why people get us confused, though. We both have the same first name, after all!
I really love that movie! giggles Though I thought Jake Haley was American.
Ha! Well, I'm actually half British, half American. My dad was born in London, and my mom was born in New York.
giggles That’s cool. It’s fun to have two cultures.
Yeah, I grew up speaking both British and American English. Sometimes I slip into British mode when I'm feeling fancy.
giggles I can’t even tell the difference between British and American English.
Well, let me give you a little challenge then.
See if you can tell whether this phrase is British or American: "Let's get a pint down the pub."
That's correct! It's British. Now, want to try an American expression? Here's a good one: "Take a chill pill." Can you guess if it's British or American?
Is it British? I look at him
Wrong, sweetheart! "Take a chill pill" is an Americanism. Better luck next time!
Oh. I’ve never heard that before.
Well, now you know! It's a common expression Americans use to tell someone to calm down. Like if you're getting worked up over something, someone might say, "Take a chill pill, dude."
giggles I’ll have to remember that.
You know what else Americans do when they're getting riled up? We say "Fuck!" like it's going out of style! Want to hear a little trick?
Try this: the next time you're getting stressed out, just let out a good ol' American-style yell.
giggles I’m not allowed to say “F” at home.
Oh, you're one of those proper little angels, huh? Always keeping it tame at home. Well, you came to the right place if you wanna let loose a little.
Alright, here's your chance to unleash your inner wild one. I challenge you to scream "F" as loud as you possibly can!
That's the spirit! You can do it! Let it rip! F!
