00:00And then another time when we got delayed and the AD came out and said to me,
00:04I'm sorry, Dominic, we've had a bit of a delay because one of our supporting artists,
00:08her breasts have exploded.
00:11What?
00:12Her breasts exploded listening to us.
00:15Wow.
00:16So that held things up for a bit.
00:19One question.
00:21Why are we getting a divorce?
00:25People fall out of love.
00:27That's the sad truth.
00:29Hi, I'm Alex Menomie, and today I'm joined by two actors of British acting royalty.
00:34It's Dominic West and Sienna Miller.
00:36How are we doing?
00:37Hi, good.
00:37How are you?
00:38You're much better now.
00:39Yeah, royalty.
00:41I'm sure I'm not the first person who told you that.
00:42You are.
00:43Oh, wow.
00:44Certainly are.
00:44You've heard that before.
00:45Well, knew I had.
00:48So we're here to talk about your new series, War, in which you play a married couple who will do
00:53deliciously underhand things to win their divorce battle.
00:55Is it fun to be so conniving?
00:57Yes.
00:57Yeah.
00:58It really is.
00:59Great.
00:59Especially when you get on quite well, off set.
01:02It didn't look like you did on camera, that's for sure.
01:03No, no.
01:04But that's the point.
01:05But we did have, I think the higher the stakes and the nastier you can be, the more fun you
01:09have, unless you really don't like the person.
01:12Well, that's even more fun.
01:14Probably, actually, you're right.
01:15Was it difficult to switch after a scene ended, back to being nice to each other, or did
01:18you sort of maintain the animosity?
01:21No, it wasn't actually.
01:22It's funny because it often is quite difficult if you're fighting someone or rowing with someone.
01:27It can be quite tricky to, but it didn't this time.
01:30But maybe we avoided each other after you yelled at me. I think there's just a natural impulse
01:34to take in my moment, but I don't think it lasted long.
01:38No, it certainly didn't with me. Maybe that's because you were six months pregnant.
01:43Well, you both look very suave and sophisticated in the show.
01:47But, Dominic, I was hoping to take you back to a time where you had a bit of a different
01:50style look.
01:51Oh, yeah.
01:51Does this picture jog any memories?
01:55Oh, my good Lord.
01:56Yeah.
01:57What is going on?
01:58Yeah, who is she?
02:00Hang on.
02:00No.
02:01Yeah.
02:02And here's a bit more of a closer look at the haircut.
02:04I wanted to see.
02:05Is this a sort of spinal tap?
02:06Yes.
02:07Adjacent.
02:08Do you know, I got a jog.
02:09Oh, my God.
02:10It's fantastic.
02:11We were a sort of Judas Priest tribute band.
02:15Yeah, because this is obviously from the legendary on the internet 2001 film Rockstar.
02:20Is it legendary?
02:20Well, it's a cult film on the internet.
02:22Is it?
02:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:23Tom.
02:24In which you played the guitarist of fictional rock band Steel Dragon.
02:28Steel Dragon.
02:29Which also included real-life rock stars Jason Bonham and Zach Wild.
02:33Yeah.
02:34First of all, I'm guessing that's a wig.
02:36You didn't grow that.
02:36Yeah, that's a wig.
02:38That's Marky Mark.
02:40That is Marky Mark.
02:41At the height of his rapping fame.
02:43Oh.
02:43Going into hair bands, yeah.
02:45What do you remember about shooting that film?
02:47Well, actually, my kids love it, so I watched it quite recently, and I just thought it was
02:53brilliant.
02:53It all came flooding back to me.
02:55I remember.
02:55I feel like that's who you are.
02:56It is who I want to be.
02:58I remember going on stage in the LA arena to, we came in halfway through a Megadeth concert.
03:06Oh, wow.
03:07They'd got something like 800 Megadeth fans standing there, and then Megadeth went offstage
03:12and went, just wait here a minute, we'll be back in a minute.
03:15And we were shuffled on, me and a silver leotard.
03:18I just remember all these Megadeth fans standing there like this going, who are these, who are
03:22these, you know, idiots.
03:24Idiots.
03:24Because it's not very Megadeth, the music in it, really.
03:26No, no.
03:27It's sort of soft.
03:28It's on the way.
03:28Soft, heavy metal.
03:30And then another time when we got delayed and the AD came out and said to me, I'm sorry,
03:35Dominic, we've had a bit of a delay because one of our supporting artists, her breasts
03:39have exploded.
03:39And her breasts exploded listening to us.
03:44And so that held things up for a bit.
03:49But that was the eight, well, it wasn't the eighties, but it was pretending to be the eighties.
03:54Sienna, this isn't your first Rodeo with the Enemy either.
03:57Right.
03:57Do you remember the 2008 Enemy Awards USA?
04:01Yes.
04:01Where you presented Mick Jones to The Clash with the Inspiration Award?
04:05Yes.
04:05You said he was your most inspiring friend.
04:07Yeah.
04:08Which, I'm not even a PR quote, that.
04:09I can't think of anyone that would be more inspiring.
04:11Yeah.
04:12That must have been a special night?
04:13That was a special night.
04:15Yeah, it was because I got to give Mick Jones an award.
04:18Picture to it.
04:19It's a Joggy Man movie there as well.
04:20Yeah.
04:21It was great and I love him.
04:23And I haven't seen him for ages, but what a, what a dude.
04:26What a dude.
04:26Nice suit he's got.
04:27I know.
04:28He's so sharp.
04:29Oh, legend.
04:31How did you come to know Mick Jones?
04:33I don't even know how I met Mick Jones.
04:34I think I met Mick Jones through my friend Risa Fans.
04:37Oh, okay.
04:38Yeah, yeah.
04:38And, and then we just had funny nights and I was just excited because he's obviously Mick Jones.
04:45But I can't, yeah, that whole decade is a bit fuzzy if I'm honest.
04:50But I knew him.
04:51I was definitely there.
04:54Did you ever get to go to the UK Enemy Awards?
04:55I don't believe so, but tell me if I'm wrong.
04:58Well, they have a bit of a reputation for being quite sort of chaotic and rowdy.
05:04I was just wanting to compare them to the US Awards, the Enemy Awards.
05:07One of them, maybe they were different.
05:08I reckon the UK is going to be much more fun.
05:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:11Yeah.
05:11It was quite big.
05:12I remember that.
05:13And it was quite kind of on a stage like a theatre.
05:15Yeah.
05:15And I imagine the Enemy Awards here is much more kind of tables or.
05:19Yeah, it definitely is, yeah.
05:20Bring Me Here the Rise and jumping on top of Coldplay's table drinking it.
05:24That was a good memory.
05:25Yeah.
05:25Are they still going on?
05:26Can we come?
05:27We haven't done them for a couple of years, but we are hoping to bring them back, so.
05:30You have to.
05:31You'll have to be invited now.
05:33They can't not.
05:33They have to.
05:34I'll wear my silver leotard.
05:35You wear your silver leotard.
05:36You can be one of the sort of like half-time gigs that we do in the last.
05:40Would Mark Wilbur be keen to do that?
05:42I bet he's desperate to play Blood Pollution again.
05:46Oh, yeah.
05:46I couldn't remember some of them.
05:47Do you still remember the song titles?
05:49Blood Pollution and I can't remember the others, but they were all original songs.
05:54They were great.
05:54And I actually could play them.
05:56Did you?
05:57Oh, really?
05:57My rhythm guitar.
05:58Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:59This is a PR war.
06:01She's winning.
06:02I just want to make him suffer like I do.
06:04For people like me, the word trust loses all meaning.
06:08I put my career on the line for you people.
06:11What I need is a decent divorce.
06:17So we ask this to everyone that we interview.
06:20Everyone gets to answer.
06:21What's an album that you always go back to?
06:23If you only pick one, why would it be that one?
06:25Wow.
06:26Rubber Soul.
06:28Beatles, of course, yeah.
06:29Oh, my God.
06:30What's an album?
06:32I mean, I don't know why this has popped in, but I love Graceland by Paul Simon.
06:37I've got kids that are small, and so I just never get bored of it.
06:42Do you remember when you first heard that album?
06:43Were you younger?
06:43Tiny, yeah.
06:45I've been doing a lot of Travelling Wilburys this summer, which is also a great album.
06:48Oh, amazing.
06:48Yeah.
06:49George Harrison, of course, yeah.
06:50Yeah, exactly.
06:51I mean, there are so many albums, pet sounds.
06:55You both picked a Beatles-related album.
06:58Have you ever met any of the remaining Beatles?
07:01Yes.
07:01Have you?
07:02Please tell me.
07:03I've never have.
07:03I've met Paul, I've met Ringo, I've met George.
07:06Oh, wow.
07:07Really?
07:08And, yes, that's...
07:09Who do you like the most?
07:12Paul was really nice.
07:14I bet.
07:14Yeah, he was really nice.
07:15But they're all quite nice.
07:17I'm friends with George Harrison's son, Danny.
07:19Oh, really?
07:20And his 18th birthday was at their house, and I met George Harrison.
07:25This is the Friar Park?
07:27Is that the Friar Park?
07:27In Henley.
07:28Yeah.
07:28I've always wanted to go there.
07:29It's amazing.
07:30It's unbelievable.
07:31Is it?
07:32Yeah.
07:32They've got an underground sort of...
07:34It's very hallucinogenic is the word that I really used to describe it,
07:38but they've got an amazing underground sort of stalagmite or stalactite,
07:42I can never remember the one, cave that you can go into on boats.
07:46What, a real one?
07:46And there's a sort of mountain effect of a thing.
07:50It's just, it's stunning.
07:52It's amazing.
07:53What was George like at his son's 18th, did you say?
07:55Yeah, really great and...
07:57Cool dad energy.
07:58Cool dad energy.
07:59I don't spend a lot of time.
08:02Not that I can remember, but again...
08:04Should have got Steel Dragon in.
08:05Yeah, exactly.
08:08And tell me a bit more about Rubber Soul and your relationship with that.
08:10Oh, I don't know.
08:11No, I got my kids into music through the Beatles
08:16and they've got a band now and they're doing quite well
08:21and it's very much Beatles influence
08:23and we went through all the albums one after another
08:26and I just remember Rubber Soul, maybe because I like the cover.
08:30It's kind of the first one that they sort of changed a bit
08:32but it was still very much song based.
08:34The songs are a bit like the old ones
08:36but they were a bit sort of more progressive, weren't they?
08:38What's the famous track on Rubber Soul?
08:40Not to...
08:41Drive My Car.
08:43Okay, great.
08:43So we're out of I Want to Hold Your Hand territory
08:45and heading towards...
08:47But still sort of there, aren't they?
08:48Yeah.
08:48You've made her choose our favourite Beatle.
08:50You've got to do it now.
08:51Yeah, favourite Beatle.
08:52Oh, my favourite Beatle?
08:53Yeah, yeah.
08:54Well, I mean, it was always John like everyone else
08:56and then the six hour...
08:59George.
08:59Well, actually, I love George's songs the most
09:00but Paul McCartney admittedly produced it
09:03but that David, what's it, the six hour thing
09:06you just can't...
09:07He's just wonderful.
09:08You just think he's the most wonderful musician
09:10who's ever lived, you know.
09:12And so cool, the way he dressed
09:13and the way he looked and...
09:15But then my friend has a theory...
09:16Subscribes to the theory about
09:17that he was replaced by a Canadian Mountie in 1967.
09:22But you don't subscribe to that?
09:24Well, something happened.
09:27I can chat to you all day about the Beatles
09:28but it's been an absolute pleasure.
09:30Thanks, guys.
09:30Thanks.
09:30That was so fun.
09:32You definitely think this is best.
09:34I do.
09:36I do.
