Downton Abbey star opens up on working with 'proper multi-tasker' Guy Ritchie
"Guy is a proper multi-tasker as a director. He's the only director I've worked with who is literally like, the cameras are running, and Theo was in the shot and he was carving a bit of ham to give to his dog at the same time."
"Period dramas were dead, we were told. You never know how it's going to turn out. We ended up doing whatever it was, 52 episodes and three films over 15 years."
"I think I should put this in context, I'm just too blooming old. I can't do the splits anymore like I did in the second film. Never say never. If Mr Brown comes back in a bath chair, I could be available."
Hugh Bonneville praised Guy Ritchie's ability to multitask on set, recounting an occasion when Theo James carved ham for his dog while cameras rolled. Bonneville declined to confirm any involvement in Ritchie's Netflix crime drama The Gentlemen. He reflected on Downton Abbey's growth from an original seven-episode commission to 52 episodes and three films across 15 years. Bonneville said he is unlikely to return to the Paddington films because he can no longer do the splits, but suggested a return might be possible if Mr Brown required a bath chair. Riz Ahmed described Tom Cruise as a "force of nature" and noted the lasting relevance of classics like Hamlet.
