Аудиоинтервью состоит из двух частей, во второй Том предлагает послушать ещё три песни и упоминает свою няню. Напишу транскрипт, когда буду чувствовать себя лучше.
Как обычно, подчёркнутые слова - это то, что я не смогла расслышать. Если у кого-то есть идеи, you are welcome!
транскрипт1.06 - My first song's got to be "With or without you" by U2, which is one of my favourite songs of all time.
- You know what? I can't now listen to this song without thinking of "Friends"...
- Ah, of course, there's an episode...
-...with Rachel smth
- That's true! Yeah, my association with this song is slightly different but...I first discovered it quite late when I...I was 18 when I first heard it. It was crazy I hadn't heard it before then. But I do think it's one of the greatest songs and every time they play it live...I was lucky enough to see U2 at the Giants stadium in New York. And they came out and sang this and smth...there 90000 people there. It was their 360° Tour (a worldwide concert - моё пр.), and you really felt...I mean, it sounds cheesy, probably. And a lot of people go for Bono, you know, he's got a big Ego, whatever, but...90000 individuals at this point had become a group. I mean, all kind of...we were all totally loved up and totally like on that U2 high and they played it. They played it with as much vigor (сила, энергия) and as much commitment as they must have played in the mid 80s when they wrote it. And I thought that was just incredibly impressive! U2 "With or without you" (2.22)

2.28 - 5.00 - Диалог про War Horse и про то, какой Стивен Спилберг офигенно прекрасный режиссёр
***
- I've got Tom Hiddleston with me this evening. We are talking about his new film "War horse" in which he plays Captain Nicholls. And of course you get to work with Sherlock.
- Indeed, sir. I wondered who you were talking about there but yes, young master Cumberbatch is my co-hortid arms in this film
- He has a very splendid mustache
- Ehehehe, the mustache does most of the work for him and he would say that if he were here.
- Yes, it's like Roger Moore's eyebrows.
- Ehehehe, well, he's playing...Benedict's character is Major Jamie Stuart, and he and I, my character's Captain James Nicholls. And Stuart and Nicholls are the two senior officers in the regiment(полк) of the British cavalry 'cause War Horse is about, you know, this incredible stalian(?) from Devon, a hunter, who grows up with the family and principally this young boy Albert...and he is bought by the cavalry in the beginning of 1914 and there begins this incredible odecy(?) through the whole First World War...and hi is my mount. Joey becomes Captain Nicholls' mount but Major Stuart's character is this very bluff disciplinarian soldier who kind of gets a kick out of all the belts and buckles and bouts of the army...and that's Benedict, and both he and Steven thought it was essential that he have a sort of, bristling(колючий) mustache to go with it.
(Том поддержал шутку про усы, рассказал сюжет фильма на полчаса, всех похвалил и вернулся к усам. МОЛОДЕЦ! )
Luckily, I got away from the facial hair (откуда я делаю вывод, что бороду он всё же не любит )
- Although now you've got it
- Although now I have a beard because I'm playing Henry V for BBC, so *ehehe*
- Of course, anything Shakespearian - the beard, it's good, ...
- Medieval smth
- ...comes out
- Yes, indeed, sir.
- How did you actually get started?
- As an actor?
- Yeah
- It's a very good question! My gosh, I'm going winded by the clock here. I...was so lucky! I was at Cambridge university studying as an undergraduate and like many things, you know, I joined the amateur dramatic society just for, you know, for kicks and giggles and I was also playing rugby and I was in the production of "A Streetcar Named Desire" , the Tennessee Williams play made famous by the Marlon Brando film. And I wasn't actually playing his character, I was playing the Karl Malden character if that's familiar to anybody
- Mitch, wasn't it?
- Mitch, that's right!
- God, my A-level came back to me
- Yeah, it came straight back! And the girl playing Blanche was a terrific actress. She was about to leave Cambridge, she'd invited some agents up from London to come and see it. She got signed and we were all thrilled for her. And about two weeks later I got this e-mail from her, saying "I've just been for this audition in London, for an ITV adaptation of "Nicholas Nickleby" and the casting director who came with my now agent remembers you and she wants to see you for something." So I came to London and I got my first TV job and then she said "you should call my friend who is the agent and said she should represent you", so suddenly at the age of 18, just having begun, my, you know, undergraduate degree at Cambridge, I had an agent and a job. I thought: "Do you know, this is alright" *laughing* And the money certainly was a lot better than, you know, the money I'd be getting doing my bar work and my waiting jobs in the holidays and that was really, that gave the confidence, I think, to believe that I could be an actor. I think up until that point I probably thought it was just too difficult, it's a crazy business and there are so many actors and so few jobs and 95% of people are out of work and I felt like I was just the right guy in the right place at the right time.
- Could it have gone the other way and could you imagine playing rugby professionally?
- *laughing* No, definitely not! I was okay, I mean, I was okay at rugby. I was playing for my college, I wasn't playing for the university. And also because I was, you know, pubidy hit me at the strange time so I was a big teenager and I'd learn how to play prop. And as you can see now, sitting across the table, I don't look like a prop anymore. My genetic inheritance is of the smth. So, and I watch the professional rugby now and I look at the size of those guys and think: "I'm glad I'm not in that scrum".
