Congratulations on the film, guys. Hey. Thank you. Thank you. I watched it today. And as a as a Brit, it was a great kind of history lesson knowing this guy because obviously I don't know him as well as you guys do over there and everything else. So I just wanted to see you guys. What was the nerve of telling someone's kind of true story? What's the idea for you as actors to play real people are going to take on that, to not make it just a history lesson. I hope it was more than that for him. Much more. Much more. Thanks. I do think, though, as far as it being a political drama, it's a historical biopic and that's to me what's interesting. I personally love history. I don't think, you know, kids are going to go, I want to see a history lesson, but you learn. But I think the love story is the fun part of the movie and the heart of the film. Obviously it shows so much about these people and especially Ronald Reagan. You know what? What you don't see, in in public and that to me, you know, the relationship part of the story is also, I think, what to me makes the movie work and interesting to watch. Yeah. I mean, the love story is at the core of this movie. The relationship that they had and it's, you know, but to get your point too, it's this movie is really about all of us in a way. And that, you know, it's, you know, we over there in the UK, you know, be able to see what your world was like back then and what what our world can be as well. You know, a Reagan and Maggie Thatcher and the Pope and like the lenses they, they won the Cold War. You know, that was I grew up at a time when we were getting under our, school desk because there was, you know, a nuclear attack was imminent. And, it was a scary time to live through, but it was also an incredible time to live through as well. And, I think there's lessons in there today, but the movie's about us. It's, it's how how great this country used to be and what it still can be. Yeah. One of the I was going to mention about the love story because you can, you know, you can see is it. Oh, it's right, it's Reagan. It's all about Reagan. But actually Reagan doesn't work without Nancy, you know. That's right. There would have been a President Reagan without a Nancy. No, she was exactly. She was the woman behind the man. Not that she was the puppet master by any means, which she was misunderstood in at times of being that controlling person. But she wasn't at all. They just had an incredible partnership. And she believed in him, and she lifted him, and she gave him confidence and that devotion and that love and that support, I just think is really incredible. I think sometimes it can be misinterpreted and make her look like she she was called the Dragon lady sometimes. And it just bothers me so much because, you know, if it was a man who was supporting somebody, he'd be a strategist. And a woman is like conniving, devious manipulator. And I was only in the hair salon not okay. But I think I think, you know, their, their, their bond and and the fact I think I was, I say I, Nancy was the only person that Reagan really trusted. And I think he needed her, to be there for him. And even their son said in the memorial, like, we wouldn't have had a President Reagan if it wasn't for Nancy. So I think that's that's great. Yeah. And it's a great thing to watch, I think, in the film to see that. Absolutely. It is a fantastic watch. I have to say, it is a fantastic a fantastic watch. but I'm going to say you two starred two of my favorite films when I was growing up, Kindergarten Cop in a space, which I still maintain is a brilliant film and it still has this amazing kind of legacy. Just quickly, just for you guys, just very quickly the legacy of that, how does that make you feel that these films have endured for four decades, almost. It's fun to be part of a movie that still has a following. I don't know if it's a cult following or just it's been popular. It's like you play a kindergarten cop now and kids still love it, or young people or anybody. It's a family film. And and the fact that it did well in the what was it, early 90s and then now it's still relevant and you can enjoy it. I think that's fantastic. And I'm so proud that I was a part of a movie like that. I have been in the Savannah, in Africa, and I've heard, hey, Innerspace. You know, I love it's been everywhere. It's my probably the most watched movie that I've ever done. Yeah, it has one of the best film fathers I think I've ever seen in my entire life. It's just. It's just incredible. Guys, thank you so much for your time. So glad you enjoyed the movie. Thank you so much, Cheers. Ladies and gentlemen, you are watching. Hey, you guys. Yeah, you guys are you guys? I That's what they all say. You guys. Hey, guys.
