Sorry, is there a cat in here? That was unbelievable.
It's the intensity of it as well, the way you stare.
Wait, hang on, Vic, your turn. Go on, give it a go.
No, no, no, come on.
I feel like I'm your baby.
Florence, we're going to play a game called Kids Ask With You.
OK. I don't know if you've heard of this before. No, I haven't.
It's where kids ask you cheeky questions because they can get away with it.
Let's get straight into it.
We'll begin with this one from Jacob.
Hi, my name's Jacob and I'm eight years old.
Do you ever watch your films back and say,
Oh, God, I'm good?
I have to tell the truth.
You have to tell the truth. I have to tell the truth.
You know what?
When I watched the stunt at the beginning of Thunderbolts,
I did think, Oh, God, I'm cool.
That's so cool.
As you should.
But also because so many people made that happen and so many cool people.
The only reason why I was able to do it
was because so many cool people made it happen.
So it was like a collective effort to get me to jump off that building.
Let's get another one. This is from Izzy.
Hi, my name is Izzy. I'm 11 years old.
And my question is, have you ever written a message to someone really famous
that you thought was really cool when it was actually just super embarrassing?
Hi, Izzy.
Have I ever written a message to someone really, really cool and famous?
I'm going to be honest. No, I haven't.
Who would you write to?
You know what? You're right, Izzy.
I would find it too cringe.
Even writing it, I think I just...
I do the silent kind of adoration from afar.
I don't know what I would say, and I don't know how I would say it,
and I think I would just feel instantly like I shouldn't have done that
the moment I pressed send.
I think you're right with that.
Have you ever? I feel like you would have written a letter to someone.
Jamie, you do it every day. You send messages to people.
You wouldn't make it on the show.
You'd be like, Chris Kardashian. Chris Jenner.
Would you like to come on the show?
I totally forgot about that.
You tried to message both members of Oasis the other day
to see if we could get them on the show.
You're joking.
They won't come.
Yeah, they will.
I ask people to shave my head the whole time, and that never happens.
By people, he means Chris Martin from Coldplay.
Because I thought he would be into it, and then there was no response.
You know who's good at shaving heads? Andrew Garfield.
Ooh.
Man, I love Andrew Garfield.
Yeah, he shaved my head.
Okay.
He shaved your head.
He shaved my head for We Live in Time.
Which?
On camera.
Which, by the way, I was watching the other day by myself,
and it was like Noah's Ark.
There were so many tears.
Oh, dear.
It is unbelievable. It is so great.
Thank you.
Yeah, ask him.
I'll ask him.
He'll shave your head.
Okay, fine.
And will he do a good job of it?
Yeah, he'll also tell you if your head looks fine or not.
Because I was so panicked.
Well, I wasn't that panicked, but I was like,
there could be potential when I have a weird shaped head, but whatever.
You don't know, do you?
But we're not going to find out until it's on camera.
And so when we were shooting, there was a tiny bit of a break,
or they got a new angle, and he just whispered in my ear,
you've got a fine shaped head. You're fine.
Right, next up is nine-year-old Ewan,
and he wants to dig quite deep with this question.
Okay.
Hi, my name's Ewan. I'm from Glasgow. I'm nine.
And I was wondering, who was your first boyfriend,
what age were you, and what was his name?
That's big.
Hi, Ewan.
I had the best first boyfriend that I did everything with,
and I'm so grateful.
He's called Ivan, and I'm still in touch with him now.
We got together maybe when I was 16 or 17,
and he was a year older than me,
and it was just like the best experience of having a first boyfriend.
So that's a great question, and I'm very proud to answer that.
We were talking last week about first loves,
and I found my first love letters that I wrote.
From when he was five to six years old?
No way.
I had so much Riz.
So much love.
And Riz. I was just so much charisma.
You really did.
And Hannah, who also was five, six,
called him sexy and asked if she could stay the night.
Ooh, wait, what?
That's quite wild.
That is huge.
It was huge, and then, really embarrassingly for poor Hannah,
we tracked her down and then managed to speak to Hannah.
So, yeah, who's my first ever girlfriend.
What's she up to now?
Probably just like a family, and I have a wife,
and so it was all great.
No, I wasn't suggesting you guys get together.
Yeah, I did say this to Nick.
I wasn't saying that.
I said, do you think I should warn my wife?
And Nick was like, no, warning is a bad word.
Nothing's going to happen.
Word warn.
Also, you were five.
Things last.
If love was there, you should see this.
Aw, so you remember Hannah.
That's so sweet.
Yeah, first love's a big, big deal.
Yeah, big deal.
Big deal.
And when they're great, you're just so grateful for them.
And there's something about first loves
where the first breakup that you have...
It could kill you.
It actually could kill you.
I remember my heart hurting so much,
and I was like, what do I do with this pain?
It was so painful.
I remember being on my hands and knees,
and a person broke up with me,
and I was begging.
Quite cool, though.
I was begging for them not to leave me.
I was crying so much.
My tears landed on her shoes,
and I could see her teardrops.
That was a real moment.
Did you go home and listen to every sad song
because you related so profoundly with it?
I remember going home and sitting on the floor in the shower
and banging the floor with the shower.
I was so upset.
I remember having to unfollow him on Facebook
because I just kept on seeing loads of things happening.
And even that felt like I was killing him.
It was awful.
Horrible.
Here we are now.
We're alive.
We're alive, and we've still got loves.
And that's great.
B has a bit of a cheeky question for you.
Okay. Naughty naughty.
My name is B, and I'm 10 years old.
My question is, has anybody come up to you and said before,
oh, hi, sorry, it's B.
Hello, B.
Yes, that's basically been my whole life.
I have a strange surname that no one knows how to say.
It's Hugh, but with a P.
And for some reason, everybody loves taking the mick out of it.
But I do feel like it has got better.
Since more and more people have been saying my name,
I do feel like people know how to say it now.
Whereas before, people didn't.
They were like, is it pudge, is it pug her, is it poo?
I've had all of them.
I've had every single nickname, like, not even nickname, bully name,
under the sun.
Yeah, I get lots of funny ones.
It's actually even fun.
It's better when I do press abroad,
because obviously most of the time people, I mean,
we find it hard getting it right here.
But with any accents or any different language,
they don't understand the vowels, or not even the vowels,
but where the sounds are.
So I've had a lot of...
I had that with my surname.
Yeah, but we've always called you Lange, but it's Lange.
It's Lange, so it's meant to be Lange.
It's not Lange.
It's Lange.
You've been Lange for so long.
Oh, no.
And guys, it's wrong.
But now, I just accept it.
You're joking.
Yeah, yeah.
So completely wrong.
Yeah, it's completely wrong.
So no one knows how to say your name.
No one.
No one has ever said your name right.
No one ever.
But I just accept it now.
Wow.
Because you're a long time Lange.
Yeah, whatever.
You're a long time Lange, baby boy.
And the name's going to change over the years.
Yeah, whatever.
You're going to be tomorrow.
Yeah, Lange.
It's meant to be Scottish, so Lange, but everyone says Lange.
I even call myself Lange to make other people feel comfortable.
Oh, Jamie.
Yeah.
Time for a final question, and Jacob is back.
Do your best cat impression.
This is mine.
I actually do a really mean cat.
Meow.
Sorry, is there a cat in here?
That was unbelievable.
It's the intensity of it as well, the way you stand.
Wait, hang on.
Your turn.
Go on, give it a go.
Meow.
No, no, no, come on.
Meow.
I feel like I'm your baby.
Meow.
Because they do those funny noises, don't they?
I feel like you could make a good cat noise for obvious reasons.
What obvious reasons?
You don't know this, but Vic once-
Oh, come on.
Was it Jamie?
Vic once, she was hiding in the bushes.
No, I wasn't.
It's true.
Were you wearing a Batman suit?
No.
Did you pee yourself?
She was wearing a cat suit, and someone was eating a kebab at a bus stop.
They put the kebab in the bin.
Vic ran over and took the kebab out of the bin and ate it.
Once, when I was 21 years old, I was drunk at a bus stop.
There you go.
Night bus waiting.
Always happens when you're drunk.
And I saw someone put a kebab in a bin, and I fished it out, and I ate it.
I've done shameful things.
You have never eaten a kebab out of a bin?
No, but I have eaten off a plate that was on a trolley outside of someone's room in a hotel.
Phenomenal.
I have done that.
That's amazing.
I have done that.
Again, when I was really young, and also really drunk, and really hungry, and the kitchen was closed.
To be fair, they hadn't really touched it. It was a bowl of plain pasta, and they hadn't touched it.
I think it must have been like kids' food.
I like the backtracking.
Come to think of it, they've just put it outside.
It was brand new.
No, but just in case people thought it was something rogue like soup or porridge or something, I wouldn't have touched that.
No, you wouldn't have done that.
But plain pasta.
That's okay.
Come on.
Yeah, whatever.
How many germs can you get on plain pasta anyway?
Who cares?
Yeah, exactly. None of it.
Good germs only.
Exactly.
Florence, thank you so, so much.
Thank you, guys.
Thank you.
Best of luck with Thunderbolt.
Thank you so much.
Thank you, everyone.
Thank you so much.
It was so lovely to chat to you.
