Hollywood heartthrob Colin Farrell and Oscar-winner Rachel Weisz secure a space on the sofa to promote new dystopian drama The Lobster, in which they both star. Plus, comedienne and writer Dawn French talks about her new novel According to Yes, and Irish actor Chris O'Dowd discusses his new Lance Armstrong film The Program. Arguably, the headlining guest is Rod Stewart, who performs from his new album Another Country.

I have felt that, since the 80s, we've had all the Rod Stewart we're ever gonna need. We do not need more. And yet, he persists: evidence the Universe does not care about me.

Farrell's rebuttal to the suggestion that maybe his kid was talking about his being blond in Alexander "But he's still talking to me!" made me laugh and aww, all at once. I love it when actors can acknowledge stinkers they have wrought.  

I wish C O'D (who may be the most affable creature ever) had filled in some of the backstory of Red Chair guy's tale. I bet that would have been worth a hear.

Farrell had a period where he was a "bad boy" - excessive drinking, hitting on a young Britney Spears, sex tape leak, etc. - that used to skeeve me out about him, even though I found him to be a good actor. But it does seem like he has calmed down and is now a funny, delightful guy.

All in all a nice couch.  Love Chris in everything he's done - Moone Boy (funny and sweet without being treacly), the IT Crowd, Bridesmaids etc.
