filming on the monuments men was with the lovely bob balaban and john goodman, matt damon, jean dujardinton here. so, the reason for this is that when we finished paddington i, there was an edict went out from studiocanal, the producers, saying, "we'd love to see where paddington goes this year. "will you send in photographs so we can keep the bear alive, "as it were, while we're editing?" and so i took paddington everywhere with me. and i had him, you know, i took him on chat shows and, you know, they always cut it out. but i took paddington... so, i said to the monuments men, guys, you know, "can i have a picture with paddington?" so, i used to, wherever i was in the world, i'd send pictures of paddington back to studiocanal. so, they were rather pleased with that one. yeah, i bet they liked that. um... this is a lovely photo. oh, you got me. you got me. mm. it's my darling dad. yeah, that's my darling dad, who passed awayjust before the pandemic hit. we were able to give him a proper send—off in a church, unlike so many thousands of people who couldn't say goodbye to their beloved one
