Greg Wise

That is the price to be paid for the gift of living, of loving.

Greg Wise, welcome to How to Fail.

Thank you very much.

Nominative determinism.

Fantastic in that role.

You know, we all have to try and look out for each other.

And do you think you've sorted it now? You are able to see yourself, Greg Wise, as distinct from the actor?

Oh, I think I did it early on.

So, uh, um, it was beautiful to dust it off and sit and watch the special again, marvel at how beautifully filmed and edited it was just gorgeous shots.

Um, um, one of this is so then that was then and then oh yeah i'm had a wonderful minute italian by night actually one of my favorite dishes in the world is spaghetti with seafood like a creamy or buttery sauce but just like all the seafoods like you know when then they put like prawn shrimp mussels all of them and there's not many places in the world that get it absolutely right but obviously italian by night is one of the best in the world also that weekend watch Anyone else watch The Diplomat with Kerry Russell and Greg Wise? Is that his name? No, Rufus Sewell.

That's his name.

Rufus Sewell, who dated Kate Winslet.

Greg Wise also dated Kate Winslet.

That's right.

Speaking of Kate Winslet, I was saying about my bookies that are available for pre-order.

So yeah, I saw it at the cinema too.

I went with my school friends and yeah, I remember Carrie being obsessed with Greg Wise.

And yes, it was huge.

It was a huge, huge film.

Yeah.

And this is the level of trust you have...

We haven't mentioned Greg Wise as well, of course.

We will

We also have Alan Rickman.

R.I.P. Imogen Stubbs, Greg Wise, who I believe him and Emma Thompson got married.

So that's nice.

And this was obviously like after Kenneth Branagh cheated on her.

Oh, yeah.

And Christian Bale, Little Women, was a year before this movie.

But something about Greg Wise in this, he kind of looks like a slightly different Christian Bale.

Yeah.

Who, again, you're played by in the 1995.

And this is where the shadow of the 1995 looms large, because Willoughby is played by Greg Wise, who then famously became Emma Thompson's real life husband.

They met on set.

So, you know, Emma Thompson then actually marrying real life Willoughby is is part of the legend of the thing.

But also Greg Wise is, you know, a great actor.

And they have...

You may recall I was unmoved by him when I watched this movie.

He's supposed to be the Byronic hero.

I mean, look at Greg Wise.

Yeah.

He's supposed to be drop-dead gorgeous and also make all of the other men pale into insignificance, particularly Brandon.

I was laughing because we will talk about that.

But the difference between Greg Wise carrying her and Alan Rickman carrying her is large.

Yeah.

um greg wise she weighs not but a feather i feel like carries her across

the portal

so all to say well the point is those were the only two i wouldn't even necessarily call them flaws i would say like you're making a sacrifice in one direction to get such
