00:00A hot take, I don't think a cinema is a good first date.
00:02Why? Because you can't.
00:04No, because you can't.
00:05You can't chat, really.
00:08Why'd that make you laugh, baby?
00:10Hi, Vogue. I'm Jessie Buckley.
00:12I'm Paul Meskel, and this is Off The Cuff.
00:14Ice break.
00:15Yeah.
00:16What?
00:18What three words would you use to describe me?
00:21Ten points extra if they rhyme.
00:24Heart, horse.
00:27Heart, horse.
00:28Heart, horse, super talented.
00:32That's four words.
00:33No, can I start them again?
00:34Heart, horse, super talented.
00:36Yeah, heart, horse, super talented.
00:38Great.
00:38None of them rhyme, but I like them.
00:40What's the most I'm an actor thing you've done today?
00:43Having a ginger shot, I think, is pretty actor-y.
00:45Do you not think?
00:46Oh, yeah, yeah.
00:46I wore sunglasses getting my coffee today, and it's like raining.
00:50You smoking is such an actor-y thing to do.
00:53Marlon Brando Land.
00:54If the fate of the universe rested on you being able to recite
00:57a movie perfectly, scene by scene, what's your pick?
01:01We spend a lot of time over Christmas watching The Grinch.
01:04My sisters can recite that from back to front,
01:08and some of those lines have been seared into my memory.
01:11I mean, Jim Carrey's a legend.
01:13Does Shakespeare have crack?
01:15Shakespeare has loads of crack.
01:17I think he has loads of crack.
01:19He's an animal.
01:19He's an animal.
01:20I'd say he has great crack in London.
01:24Yeah, he loves a few pints.
01:26He loves a few pints.
01:27He operates off adrenaline, and I think people who operate off adrenaline
01:30don't go crack.
01:31Yeah, yeah, great crack.
01:33What's something you've seen on the internet recently
01:35that you're obsessed with?
01:36My husband's showed me these videos of parents cracking eggs
01:40over babies' heads.
01:41I've seen this.
01:43It's really wrong, but quite funny.
01:46And the look of, like, absolute, like...
01:49Shock.
01:50Betrayal.
01:50Betrayal.
01:51Betrayal.
01:51Betrayal.
01:51Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:53What about you?
01:54I'm kind of obsessed with baseball at the moment.
01:57Oh.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Got into a big Red Sox fan.
02:00Do you remember your first social media profile picture?
02:04Bonus question.
02:05Was it Bebo, MySpace, or Facebook?
02:07I think it was probably Facebook.
02:09I don't know what that picture was.
02:11Bebo.
02:12I remember Bebo.
02:13What's Bebo?
02:13Do you remember Bebo, where it was, like, you'd have 20 top friends,
02:17and I used to put, like, girls who I'd never spoken to in my year
02:20that I fancied and be, like, put them in my top five friends,
02:23hoping that I would make it...
02:24Of course you got cast in the old people.
02:26Oh, for Christ's sake.
02:27I remember being like...
02:28For Christ's sake.
02:30It was so embarrassing.
02:31If you could choose one Irish word to teach the world,
02:35what would it be?
02:36Faunlogue is a great Irish word.
02:39Faunlogue.
02:39For the bird swallow.
02:41Oh, yeah.
02:41The bird, I think it's such a gorgeous word.
02:44And swallows.
02:46I have a tattoo of a swallow that I love.
02:48One of my favourite birds.
02:49I'm thinking about the gloaming.
02:51Yeah, faunlogue is a gloaming song.
02:52Is it?
02:53But I love all the lyrics of that, of sour, sour.
02:56And sour in Gaelic means summer.
02:59And the whole song is about giving summer to each other.
03:02Of, like, the summer of love.
03:04I gave summer to you in that summer.
03:05It's gorgeous.
03:05It's such a beautiful song.
03:06So sour.
03:07And you should listen to that song.
03:09Yeah.
03:10Round two, getting personal.
03:12Can you split the G?
03:13What?
03:13Can you split the G?
03:15What's that?
03:15Do you know a drinking pint of Guinness and you split...
03:16You know what a splitting G is, Jessie.
03:18Oh, it means that you keep the white thing at the top?
03:21Yeah.
03:21I can't do that.
03:23No, I'd be sick.
03:24Can you?
03:25Sometimes, yeah.
03:27Yeah, I can split the G.
03:28What is something that never fails to make you laugh?
03:31People falling over in the street.
03:33It's funny.
03:34Yeah.
03:34It's just funny.
03:34And then when they look at the pavement as if it's the pavement's fault, that's hilarious.
03:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:38They talk.
03:39Yeah, they go, oh, it's ridiculous.
03:41What's the first thing you do when you go back to Ireland?
03:43I eat a slice of my dad's brown bread.
03:45Lovely.
03:46Hot out of the oven.
03:47Lovely.
03:47With loads of butter, marmalade, cup of tea.
03:51Where can you get the best pint of Guinness in London?
03:54The Toucan.
03:54The Toucan, I'd say.
03:55The Toucan.
03:56The Toucan.
03:56Downstairs?
03:58The El Shillelagh in Stoke Newington.
04:00Yeah.
04:01What's a small hill you're willing to die on?
04:03Like an aggressively small, arguably trivial one.
04:06I like that question.
04:07I don't really want to die on a hill.
04:10Okay, that's great.
04:12That's a great answer.
04:13Round three, career questions.
04:15What's the boldest acting choice you've ever made?
04:16I don't know.
04:17Choosing to do the job.
04:19Yeah.
04:20It's always scary.
04:21That's a hard question.
04:22It's always scary to do a job.
04:24What film makes you feel the most nostalgic?
04:27Santa Claus 1.
04:28My mum loves that film so much.
04:31And we watch that around Christmas every year.
04:34If you could go back in time and be cast in The Office,
04:37what role would you most want to play and why?
04:39I think I'm more of a Jim than any of the other characters.
04:42But I don't.
04:43I would love to be Steve Carell or Dwight.
04:45Who would you play?
04:47I'm not up to date with The Office.
04:49You haven't seen The Office?
04:50I haven't played.
04:51It's worth it.
04:53There's too many things to watch.
04:55What's your most irrational audition superstition?
04:58No, I don't have any irrational audition superstitions.
05:00When I got the script for Beast, I loved it so much.
05:04It was my first ever film and I kept it under my bed.
05:08I remember I'd heard that Marion Cotillard had kept maybe Le Vieux Rose under her bed or like Rustin Bone.
05:15And I was like, I'm going to keep Beast under my bed until I get it.
05:18And then I got it.
05:19So thanks, Marion.
05:20Who do you go to for outfit advice?
05:23My stylist.
05:23Or my sisters, who are pretty brutal, actually.
05:28If you could appear in any franchise just for fun, but nobody would know it was you, what would it be?
05:32I'm thinking of like the first three Indiana Jones films.
05:35But I would like, you can know it's me.
05:37But I'm not like that would be.
05:39You'd be fine with that.
05:40I'd be absolutely fine with that.
05:42That's the whip.
05:43Guess the look.
05:47I'll show you this, Jessie.
05:49Guess this.
05:50Oh, it's when I performed for the Queen.
05:53You performed for the Queen?
05:54Yeah, it's when I played Liza Doolittle in Pygmalion for the Queen.
05:58Look at you.
06:00On her, it was like her jubilee or something.
06:03Unbelievable.
06:04And what's that?
06:06That is Met Gala.
06:07Well done.
06:08What is this?
06:10What are those?
06:11They're my converse.
06:13Where were you wearing it?
06:15God only knows.
06:17That was my first London Film Festival.
06:20Your baby.
06:21I was such a little baby.
06:23What's this?
06:26That's Oscars.
06:28You're so much more like Spick and Span than me.
06:32Spick and Span.
06:35That was my Alexander McQueen back to Jumbo.
06:38Come on.
06:39That was class.
06:40Come on.
06:40That was class.
06:43What's this?
06:46That is my T-shirt.
06:48The Timberland T-shirt that I have.
06:49Which I love.
06:50It's a brilliant T-shirt.
06:51It's a great, great T-shirt.
06:52Timberland.
06:53Yeah.
06:53It's a vintage T-shirt.
06:54What's this?
06:55The Roderick dress I wore to the Oscars last year.
06:58Come on.
06:59Love that dress.
07:00Come on.
07:01It's a lightning round.
07:03A concert or festival?
07:04Festival.
07:05Fontaine's or the Cranberries.
07:07Oh.
07:09Cranberries.
07:10I'd say Fontaine's.
07:11But they're both.
07:12I mean.
07:13Actually, I can't pick between those two.
07:16I know I said Cranberries first, but I take that back.
07:18It's all Fontaine's in Finsbury Park.
07:20They're fucking unbelievable this year.
07:22Good guy or bad guy?
07:23Bad guy.
07:24Shorts or jeans?
07:25Bad guy.
07:26Bad guy.
07:28Shorts or jeans?
07:30Shorts, obviously.
07:31Jeans.
07:31Jeans.
07:32Shorts.
07:32Come off it.
07:33You're known for your shorts.
07:35To be or not to be?
07:36To be.
07:37Oh.
07:38Early call time or late night shoot?
07:40Early call time.
07:41Potato sandwich or bacon sandwich?
07:43Bacon sandwich.
07:44Finding 20 euros in your pocket or finding a snack you forgot you bought?
07:48Snack?
07:49But think about all the snacks you buy with 20 quid.
07:51What if you're not near a shop?
07:53Okay.
07:53Complain about the rain or complain about the cold?
07:56Don't.
07:57Don't complain.
07:58Don't complain.
07:59Long takes or quick cuts?
08:01Oh.
08:02Sometimes you just need long takes.
08:04Long takes for sure.
08:05Quick cuts.
08:06Yeah, yeah.
08:07True.
08:08Justice or revenge?
08:10Revenge.
08:11Tragedy or comedy?
08:12Tragedy.
08:13Yeah, for sure.
08:14Tragic.
08:15Left or right?
08:16Rice.
08:18Yeah.
