I won’t eat offal. Once, I was in London at the Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons, which is this really fancy eating establishment and hotel, and I almost got conned into eating testicles.

I’ve enjoyed it, I have seen it once at the premiere in London and it was very nice to be invited there. But I do want to see it again now. I want to sit and watch it as a fan rather than being there at the premiere with all the lights and such. – Jeremy Bulloch
