wasn't available that's true and you. remember have you held it against me no. I haven't held it against you you said. you weren't available and I said that's. too bad and it was all planned and we. were ready to go and then I walked down. the street and I saw you eating a. delicious meal in a. restaurant oh no I thought that. and you saw me and I saw you. duck down underneath the table no you. were very you it was not your fault you. couldn't make it but you're here now and. I'm sure you're delighted to be Conor. Brian's.

friend oh yes of. course I knew I'd miss. something but I thought no that's not. important that's a Freudian slip that's. what we call that a Freudian slip you've. got to keep all this fantastic and I. feel proud happy honored to be Conan. O'Brien's friend and guest God bless you. sir God bless you I'm going to start by. saying something I don't get to say. often which is I think one of the last.

times I saw you we kissed fullon on the. lips it was on my show and I forget how. it happened something was in the air. that night come. [Applause]. here I've only kissed two men full on on. theist lips one was you the other was Mr.

Ryan Reynolds you wrote me. yes you it wasn't. over it still. [Applause]. isn't.

we did a piece where we did a parody of. the notebook PR good track record and. yes I am killing it with the fellas yeah. how do we compare well okay I'll say. this you I I my soul left my body it was. it was an incredible experience to kiss. you uh you you came around to my desk. and you grab my head and it was a. powerful kiss passionate yeah well I. think I wanted to demonstrate the.

authenticity of my feelings and um this. I think told the police of. what this is what um something had. happened between Ian McCullen and myself. yes which included a kiss on the lips. yeah and um I think you brought that up. and something about you know nobody has. ever kissed you like that like man here. we go here we go no it was so fantastic. I just put it out there.

not thinking this is where we'd go and. suddenly this man was up on his feet he. came around he swept me off my feet. powerful kiss it's taking everything in. my power not to say I've Never Been. Kissed like that I won't Don't Go Near. him there's a I'm putting up a salad. guard between the two of you you you got. in you you your physicality changed like. you were going to do it and then I. got so excited Patrick was like a cobra. rising up looking at you do I do I not. but um I have to say the one difference.

with uh with uh Ryan Reynolds is he has. a technique I guess we're kissing and it. was a longer kiss and you can look at it. on video it's the parody of the notebook. he reaches over and he started fondling. my ear oh and I thought uh I just got a. weird peek into Blake Lively's life at. this moment very strange anyway uh. welcome thrilled to have you here you. are you are uh uh you are a consumate. actor you've got I believe the greatest.

voice in the world uh you've. accomplished so much in your life and. you've also written this book. and I man you have lived a life I will. say that you have lived an incredible. life and you've written about it. beautifully in this book which tells. your story and there's so much in here. that I didn't know starting. with your childhood you're such a good. actor you've gone through this. transformation that I would never in a. million years believe that you came from.

the north from very little means I don't. know how else to say it what you would. call I think you refer to it in your. book as sort of the Rust Belt of of. England what's this area what's it. called well it was the West riding of. Yorkshire which is a uh it was a kind of. division of Yorkshire it's such a big. County it's the Texas of the UK right. and that it was divided into North. Yorkshire West Yorkshire and East.

Yorkshire and then Margaret Thatcher. came along and uh she created South. Yorkshire MH I think she was actually. made queen of South Yorkshire I'm not. quite sure that but but she was but it's. it's well known as an industrial center. Sheffield of course which was only few. miles away from where I grew up was the. steel Center yes of England probably of. Europe at the time but you talk about a.

childhood that's and and again it's you. cannot judge a book by its cover but I. would have thought well you know Sir. Patrick Stewart Posh upbringing Posh. education uh Silver Spoon in his mouth. that's those are the assumptions that I. would have made and you just have to. learn this lesson again and again and. again in your life um you had in a lot. of ways a Victorian childhood you had a. child and you talk about this in your. book.

because that's what my wife has named it. my wife is an American from Nevada and. she will say to people if if they're. asking me about how I grew up for the. first time she will say oh he might as. well been living in the 19th century. right it's like deenan it was it was. deenan yeah and um I mean you talk about. uh first of all no money the very uh end. uh.

toilet outside that you share with. neighbors um and a sort of an out. building not quite the the building had. four toilets in it but each family had. their own toilet now it was just a. toilet that was all and there was no. lighting no heating no running water. except to flush the toilet yeah and um. because we lived in what was called our. neighborhood of one up one down MH there.

was one room downstairs you stepped in. off the pavement sidewalk MH and you. were in the living room of the house and. there wasn't anything else there was a. Cellar downstairs and you went upstairs. and there was one room upstairs so one. up one down and um it was very very. basic yeah I mean the toilet aspect of. it just being one of them and uh it. wasn't really until I went to secondary. modern school because I was not.

academic you're whispering but there's. still a very powerful microph you're. Whispering into a mic not. academic no one must. know and uh I. um so we had no shower we had no bath. what happened on a Friday evening was. that my brother who and I my brother was. 5 years older than me I had another. brother but he was 17 years old me so he. was gone MH um we would carry this zinc.

bath up from the cellar I mean these. were my father told us to do this it was. our job on a Friday evening and we would. have a a big boiler that stood in the. middle of the floor a gas boiler and. that would boil the water for the bath. then we would Ladle the water out of the. gas boiler into the bath and the first. person to take the bath would be my. father because Friday night was the. beginning of the weekend yeah which was.

often not a good thing in my house yeah. but um and then uh and then there was a. whole complicated evening in which my. elder brother would bathe in the same. water that my father had used while the. water was heating up again then he would. empty that and because he he was made to. do that then he could leave for a Friday. night himself even though he was only. you know 10 or 11 and um then we we.

emptied the PED the wall actually no we. didn't we had a rubber tube and we put. the end of the rubber tube in the. bath oh my God and I would suck it up. which always meant that you would never. this is getting worse and worse and. worse do you want to change the subject. no no go ahead I could go downhill or I. could go go downhill please you're on. the downhill podcast now this podcast's. original name was the.
