Leo Woodall:Many, many auditions.
They really put me through the wringer.
It was just a series of auditions ,and there was a chemistry read with Ambika.

Yeah, so it was a standard process but it was also quite tough.
So they didnt see you inWhite Lotusand think, We need to get this guy in a romance?
I walked into that room and I still had my cowabunga tattoo on there.

So they were a little bit shocked to see that, and they didnt realize thats what was happening.
But thankfully they were able to discover that it wasnt real.

Tell me something I dont know about your chemistry read with Ambika.
We were both in the office for a good few hours because we were both meeting other people.
But shes so funny, and just like, kind of calm and collected.

It was really refreshing.
When we both got the roles, we decided to meet up and chat for a bit.
We went to Southbank and got a gin and tonic.
And yeah, just kind of got to know each other a bit more.
And then by the time we were filming, we felt comfy with each other, which was great.
How long was that period between getting the role and filming?
Well, I got the role months before we started filming, maybe two months.
So we met up somewhere in June.
How familiar were you withOne Day, either the original book or the2011 filmstarring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess?
And then, when the audition process continued, I started reading the book.
Im a bit of a slow reader, so I did have to start doing the Audible.
So you found out about Emmas death while watching the movie?
What was your reaction?
So I was like waddling around everywhere.
And I just remember my jaw dropping and being very, very shocked.
And very, very sad about it.

How did you slip your disk?
Its a long story but I did it years ago.
I was on a plane from LA to Sydney [in 2019].
And we hit turbulence and the plane dropped like 100 feet, three times.
And the first time, I was asleep, and my seatbelt was undone.
So I woke up midair.
And like, everyone was screaming, and I didnt fully feel it.
And they said they were going to call a masseuse for me.
It was like midnight.
So I went back to my roomId been given some painkillersand I fell asleep.
And they came to my door, they knocked…nothing.
And they were like, Oh, my God, this kid has just died in our hotel.
And were gonna have to go in.
And they shook me awake.
And so thats how I did it the first time.
Then last yearit was born out of the last timeit was literally just doing lunges.
I just did a big lunge with a big weight.
I think I was training forWhite Lotus.
Tell me about the last time you cried.
Once this series comes out, I bet many people would say, While watchingOne Day.
Honestly, it might have been when I last watched it.
Tell me about playing a character in their 30s when youre still in your 20s.
I was thinking about this when Dexter was discussing his misspent youth with Emma in episode five.
But you know, I think both me and Ambika realized that you dont really change that much.
So youre not feeling any nerves heading into your 30s?
I hear 30s is the best decade.
Whats something I dont know about making it in Hollywood.
A lot of the parties that you suddenly get invited to really arent that fun.
Do you duck out early, or have you stopped going altogether?
But I hate having to do chit-chat when theres really loud music.
I dont know how people still go to clubs and meet people.
If I cant even hear myself, Im gonna only be talking gibberish.
So a lot of times its good to just go with someone you know, someone you love.

Tell me something I dont know about your social media habits.
Are you a lurker?
Do you see thirst tweets?
All I do when I go on Instagram is watch videos of people making incredible sandwiches.
I basically just scroll through reels and a lot of it is dogs, sandwiches, or football.
But how do you fit it in your mouth?
You make it fit.
Give it a squish.
Its like Scooby Doo.
You have the sandwich but with half the bread.
Speaking of social media, there was a moment inOne Dayepisode four when Dexter hands Emma a peeled orange.
Yeah, Ive only recently been introduced to that.
How do you feel about the orange-peel theory?
The theory being, if your partner doesnt peel your orange then theyre not your soulmate?
