Greg Wise

So comical.

And Greg Wise, we got to talk about him because he is very handsome, very dashing, even with those sideburns that go way into the cheek.

Much too far.

still so handsome and knowing his history and his real life story it almost makes you be like okay willoughby isn't that bad because we know he is the husband of emma thompson for years and years they're still together yeah

I just love that.

It's so beautiful.

And Greg wise was 28, 29 playing a 25 year old.

That she gave her the idea because he actually wrote into a newspaper that had published one of her short stories with this.

We won't we don't have to go into it, but with a really sort of crazy idea for rather violent murder mystery in which the first person narrator would also be the murderer.

And then they were all in Harry Potter and trying not to be near each other.

Yeah, but she, like, the story that they tell about how her and Greg Wise got together is super cute.

Aw.

I love that.

Yeah.

Greg Wise.
