The relationship nobody will mention
Scott prepared for Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone by establishing the one subject he would avoid. The pair played Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy in The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and were also together away from the film, but previous interviews made clear that they disliked questions about their relationship.
The more Scott and Chris agreed not to mention it, the more prominent the silence became. Chris found Scott sitting physically between Gwen and Spider-Man when the guests arrived, while Scott tried to ensure that every reference remained safely on screen. Their other preparation involved watching the film in 3D, which made Scott feel sick during the web-swinging and gave Chris another opportunity to say he looked ridiculous in the glasses.
Spider-Man takes responsibility
Andrew explained that he had probably stolen one Spider-Man suit because the production did not officially allow him to keep it. The character had been his own first Halloween costume at the age of three, so he felt responsible for pleasing people who cared about Spider-Man as much as he did.
Scott praised the sensation of moving through New York with the hero, even if his nausea was an unconventional recommendation. The soundtrack included Alicia Keys and Kendrick Lamar’s “It’s On Again”, written and produced with major names including Pharrell. Andrew’s occasional British delivery in the film also led to the familiar question of whether Americans still imagined the country as tea, horses and royal weddings.
Hollywood reviews Chelsea and Essex
Scott wanted an American perspective on two forms of British culture. Emma watched a Made in Chelsea scene in which camping was treated as unthinkable and one cast member recoiled from using a sleeping bag because even the bag had its own bag. She began reproducing the accent and enjoyed the idea that discovering a friend owned a sleeping bag could end the relationship.
The TOWIE selection contained Gemma Collins declaring, “You ain’t ever gonna get this candy.” Emma immediately adopted the line and its performance, while Andrew and Chris joined the critique. What began as an attempt to explain constructed reality television became the most quoted part of the interview, with Emma still repeating “candy” as the film’s release details were announced.
Chris takes on Ryan Gosling
Chris presented Emma with his developing objection to Ryan Gosling. It was not that Gosling had done anything wrong, but that everybody considered him perfect and Chris suspected he would not help less attractive friends on a night out.
Emma firmly defended him as a team player. Asked to identify imperfections, she refused to invent bad breath, love handles or a selfish personality and told Chris to let Ryan be himself. Andrew seemed far more likely to fit into a Watford night out, but Chris left without the Hollywood validation he wanted.
Sleep songs and Bamboleo
The listener sleep recordings now included “hashtag blue leg”, a man singing an unexplained song about cups and another telling somebody to get out of the bed. Peter Pan popcorn and an uncertain plea for a brolly added to the collection.
The guests finished by joining Bamboleo Wednesday. Scott warned them that technique was unnecessary and they only had to lose control when the chorus arrived. Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield dancing around the Breakfast studio completed a visit Scott immediately described as one of his favourite interviews.
