Lauren Laverne

Available for over a year

The dapper star visits us ahead of the Star Wars Episode VIII premiere at London's Royal Albert Hall. He talks about coping with being separated from Daisy Ridley in this instalment, and the literal (not figurative) sparks that flew during stunts with Gwendoline Christie. Titled The Last Jedi, this film prominently features Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker and was the last project Carrie Fisher filmed before hear death. John remembers that she meant freedom to him: in both words and attitude. He also looks ahead to future projects, revealing a long-held desire to flex his bottom lip quiver on a romantic epic.
