“I’m like... woah... do we have to go again? Coz that was quite close!” *Laughs*
Matthew Goode cracking up when asked about his sword fight scenes in 'The King's Man' with Ralph Fiennes was adorable.
“He’s very masculine and very powerful... and quite dangerous in a fight.” *winces*
“I’ve gotta be honest there are a couple of occasions I’m like... woah... do we have to go again? Coz that was quite close!” *Laughs*

Interesting Deleted Scenes/Details from The Menu
Lillian wasn't completely exaggerating when she said she put Chef on the map: He had another high end restaurant before Hawthorne, called Tantalus. Got 2 Michelin stars 2 years in, then closed up shop. Isn't heard from again until 3 years later, running a taco truck in Portland. He agreed to the interview only if he could keep his privacy, his own land, and it had to be by the water so he could source his own fish.
It's established the movie star has a peanut allergy during the tour, and this turns out to be setup for the menu's eighth course, where Felicity is ordered to force feed him a dish completely comprised of peanuts so as to kill him through anaphylactic shock.
Anne (wife of man who paid Margot to look like his daughter while jacking him off) actually couldn't eat The Island as is due to a shellfish allergy. Hers was salmon.
The broken emulsion gag escalates to where the servers literally waterboard Lillian with it.
The restaurant has hidden cameras in the dining room, so even if Elsa missed something, it still got caught.
The taco truck Chef was running was, according to him, the happiest he'd ever been, but Margot call him out on it later, asking why he parked his truck at a Food Expo where he KNEW food critics were going to be, if he wanted to be left alone.
Man's Folly was supposed to have more details about a woman chef's actual experience in the kitchen, from harassment to stereotypes.
The women DO get bread with Man's Folly, and it IS as delicious as promised. You can even see Tyler chewing on bread when Chef comes up to confront him afterwards.
Not only did Tyler bring Margot knowing she would die, he sincerely thought Chef was going to spare him. And even when called out on it, he STILL didn't apologize or take it back, because all he cared about was experiencing the menu.
Them all coming to the kitchen to watch Tyler screw himself over wasn't originally in the script. They were just supposed to watch from the dining room.
Margot makes another bid for her life before being ordered to go get the barrel. Which Chef appreciates enough to tell her so.
Margot smiles upon seeing Tyler's hanging.
Lillian realizes she's never going to get to write about this last experience, and THAT ends up being her real just desserts.
Instead of dropping the ashes to set it all on fire, Chef originally drops a match.
We never found out Margot's true fate. The boat literally stopped a half mile away, so she was stuck there.
The last scene is of firefighters combing through the burnt wreckage, and the very last thing we see is the one photo of Chef as a young man, flipping a burger, but happy.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar.
"Good evening, Mr. Sugar," said, well, said this post. Whose job it was to never forget a face. Not least your most lovely visage.
You must forgive us. We find ourselves in something of a straight-faced frenzy for all things whimsical, symmetrical, deadpan, and meticulously crafted—like, by way of example, Wes Anderson's take on the lesser-known Roald Dahl short story: The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. It features a pleasing color palette, an ensemble cast, a parable of spiritual growth, this idiosyncratic director's visual inventiveness, distinctive style (such style), and Benedict Cumberbatch with a delightful mustache. At this point, we would say something like what's not to like? or need we say more? But why would we say this. There is nothing not to like here. There is nothing else that needs to be said. It's Benedict Cumberbatch—with a mustache.
We relent. If you really remain unconvinced, we will make the case by sewing together all of the above (the palette, the style ((such style)), Cumberbatch, etc.) and present what we consider one of the finest shots ever put to film. Exhibit A.
If that doesn't persuade you, perhaps we can sweeten the deal with this: The Benedict Cumberbatch Name Generator.
