Second sold out show for Sparks at the Royal Albert Hall and another triumph. Very proud to take the traditional end-of-show photo, this time with their amazing band: Evan Weiss, Eli Pearl, Max Whipple and Stevie Nistor. If you were there, let us know!

What an incredible night seeing Sparks play the Royal Albert Hall for the first time. Was so proud to take this photo at the end of this amazing concert. Such a great show. Just electric. Let us know if you were there x Viva Sparks! ⚡️ ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I come to rave. Today, SPARKS release their 26th album, 'The Girl Is Crying In Her Latte' and I highly recommend listening from start to finish. It's the first to be written after my doc on the legendary Ron & Russell Mael and it made me swell with pride once more.

Disappeared into #theeightmountains and didn’t want to come back. A gorgeous epic about friendship, adventure and some cheese making from Felix van Groeningen & Charlotte Vandermeersch, starring Luca Marinelli & my amico Alessandro Borghi. Made me want to jack it all in and venture into the wild…

Am in awe of KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON. A profoundly powerful & disturbing film on an open wound subject. It's both intimate & epic, vividly tangible & exquisitely rendered by Martin Scorsese on incendiary form. Perhaps his best of this century. A must see on the big screen. 1/3

Woke at 6 AM (after 4 hours sleep). Showered. Got dressed. Jumped in a cab. Was onstage with Ruth Wilson at the Young Vic theatre at 7:45 AM for her 24 hour play ‘The Second Woman’. I played one of 100 men in the part of ‘Marty’. 1/3

I am jammy (lucky) enough to have seen both of the two big films trailered this week; one is just as magnificently entertaining and exciting as you dream it might be, and the other is a stunning, stirring epic that may well be the best work from the director in this century. Great cinema incoming…

I just randomly heard ‘Dance Yourself Dizzy’ by Liquid Gold, which is one of the uncoolest and therefore coolest bangers of them all. This one has double the nostalgic wallop for me as, at age 5, I listened it on vinyl as part of K-Tel’s ‘Star Traks’ compilation and then 19 years later…

Don’t sleep on Daniel Goldhaber’s ‘How To Blow Up A Pipeline’, one of the best films of 2023. Thrilling, urgent and angry, but as focused on the humans involved as the pressing issues at hand. Brilliantly structured and edited too. And a superb, insistent score by Gavin Brivik. Do see it.

Was very sad to hear the great actress, Maria Charles, passed away a few weeks ago. I had the privilege of working with Maria on ‘Hot Fuzz’. She played the shotgun-wielding ‘farmer’s mum’, Mrs. Reaper, and was part of the (in)famous scene that got the biggest laugh of any film I’ve ever worked on.
