… Head to Venice as soon as the virus situation allows? The year before last, I was lucky enough to spend two whole months in this great city while filming The New Pope. Now I really want to repeat that trip, but this time with my family.

… to listen to the first Primal Scream albums? In the late 80's we often went to their concerts at The Haçienda (cult Manchester club. - approx. HB). It was a cool place! I sang especially loudly to the songs You're Just Too Dark to Care and Sweet Pretty Thing.

… to realize that with age, the possibilities only increase? I was always told that I started a family too early, became famous too early … But I had time to say goodbye to empty ideals and see the world without rose-colored glasses. Well, the most productive phase of my life began after forty: I began to get much more pleasure from every day and finally returned to producing, which I love very much.

… forbid yourself to give advice to others if no one asks for it? Firstly, this way you will never be accused of a wrong hint, and secondly, a person learns much faster from his own mistakes. I myself have adhered to this rule for a long time - even in communication with my children. Fortunately, adolescents rarely ask what they should do.

… to host a marathon of films by Jacques Audiar? I love his "Read Lips" with Vincent Cassel and, of course, "The Prophet" (Grand Prix of the Cannes Film Festival 2009. - NB). In general, if you want to understand everything about love, watch French cinema. And when you do, drink French wine.

… boxing? Gloves and a pear have been helping me keep fit for years. Even during lockdown, I subscribed to all possible sports channels: the broadcasts somehow compensate for the regular trips to the matches of my favorite Tottenham. Well, the calories from the screams "Go-o-o-ol!" and jumps in front of the screen are also burned.

… throw a house party even if only you are invited? Dress up in down and feathers, play a cool musical like Labyrinth with David Bowie, get out a bottle of red and dance until you drop. Anything is better than complaining about the life of the zoom.

… stop being late? I started living separately from my parents when I was 17. Moved to Manchester (there was filmed the series "Families" with the participation of young Jude. - Approx. HB), hung out all the time, but always arrived at the set at exactly seven in the morning. In principle, nothing has changed now.
