And today we're going to test how well we know each other. Yep. With Vanity Fair. I feel like this could be an absolute disaster. I do too. We won't know any of these answers. But I can assure you that we like each other a great deal. Please believe us. What non-Irish accent am I best at doing? Look into my eyes. Look around the eyes. I'm going to say... Oh, wait, wait. Do I write down my answer first? Yeah, yeah. This is ridiculous. Oh, God. What non-Irish accent? I'm not looking at yours. Okay. I'm going to say like an RP, like a posh English accent. Right. Let's go. Yeah! We like each other. We both, we're both winners. It's all downhill from here. Okay. If I was a drink, what kind of drink would I be? Oh, ****. I'm going to go general. Why are you writing? Oh, wait. Oh, yeah. I don't need to write. Just for my nose. I want to take some ******* notes. Okay. What do you think? Okay. Well, it's a spirit. A spirit and mixer. Yeah! Off to a flyer. Yes. Good. Okay. I'm not sure I know the answer to this. How many languages do I speak? Well, or just generally? Like, a couple of fuckles? Yeah, a couple of fuckles. Okay. English. A bit of Irish. You go to Spain quite a bit. I'm going to say... Well, you have to write down. Oh, yeah. Sure. Write down your answer for the amount that you can actually speak beyond just like... Yeah. Bonjour. I'm going to say three languages. Near. Probably more. What was your fourth one? Well, I can speak a little bit of Italian now because of Ripley. Oh, okay. Fine. That was close. What is my favorite Irish slang term? Okay. It could be... Let's do a phrase. I'm trying to think of like, if we do the voice, like what we'd say. Yeah, it is. It's in the... It's in the like Irish mammy voice. Yeah, it's in that word. Asher. Okay. Oh, wait. Okay. Hold a second. This could be completely wrong. What do you think it is? Stop the light.

Didn't you do well out of it anyway? I said three to four years, so... But that's right. He's right. That's how long it was for me. If you ever want to study in Trinity, that's what you would have to do if you were to narrate well. Unless you're an unbelievably talented actor, then you only need six months. Or a lazy little gop site. Right, come on. Suck it to me. What is my biggest pet peeve? Well, you're a hard worker, but that's not really a pet peeve. It's in that. It's related to that. Rudeness?

Although I've now given up sugar. That's disappointing. What is my dating red flag? That's a hard... Yeah. There's multiple. There's so many. There's so many red flags. No, but there are. There are, right? What would be a red flag for me if I was on a date with somebody at a restaurant? Why are you writing down? Oh, ****. I'm not supposed to write it down. I just like to take notes. What do you think? Being rude to the waiting staff? Very, very good. Someone who doesn't look at a waiter. It's specific. Oh, that's pretty good. That's pretty good. But do you know when somebody is like, when they go, even if they say, even if they acknowledge it, but they're like doing something, they're like, thank you so much. But if they don't, make eye contact. Exactly. It's weird the way people... Big red flag. Okay. This is a good... What is the name of our WhatsApp group with Joe? Ah, one. Okay, we know this.

Weirdest on-set event that happened for us, as I'm going to change the question to. It was dark. It wasn't fun. Wait, the not nice thing. Yeah, dark. Yeah, but I don't want to say that. Take the risk. No, I can't. Did it happen in the flat? It happened in the flat, yeah. Just before a scene? Yeah. And you ran out? It's not funny, but. It's not funny at all. But look, we're committing to it. Okay, well, we were about to do a very serious scene about parenthood. I feel terrible saying this. And Paul had to leave the set because he was upset about something that was going on in the room. Having a panic attack. So yeah, that's the weird thing that happened. But I wouldn't say that's like a. It's not a thing that I do regularly or I try to avoid as much as possible. Stop the light, stop the light.

Physical touch, 100%. That's right. I didn't. Was I supposed to write it down? But it is right. I hope you can see the sincerity. The sincerity in my eyes. It's definitely physical touch. Yeah. He loves physical touch. Okay. He loves physical touch. What reality show would I excel in? This is specific, and I know I would be good at this. I don't know if you'll get this, but it's a learning. Okay. Haunted. Do you know that show? Oh my God. When you try and escape. They set up this like police force, and they try and hunt you down, and you have to go through these series of. Basically, you have to like avoid being captured by the police. Do you think you'd be good at that? I think I'd be good. Why?
