Congrats!
"Thanks! It's a good day, a lovely day."
How does it feel?
"It feels fantastic. I'm in Australia filming Thor: Ragnarok, and it's very early in the morning on a Friday. Right now it is just coming up to 4:15 a.m."
It's impressive that you've stayed awake.
"Well, it's not every day you get nominated for an Emmy."
So, how did you hear about the news?
"I didn't have any expectations, and suddenly my phone started blowing up a couple hours ago. This is the most wonderful surprise, and honestly the most thrilling thing about it is that it feels like an extraordinary and heartwarming affirmation for the whole team who made The Night Manager. Making The Night Manager was the most fulfilling team effort, and I'm so proud of everybody."
You're in the middle of a cultural frenzy right now dating Taylor Swift. How would you respond to people who claim that you're involved in some sort of publicity stunt?
"(Laughs.) Well, um. How best to put this? That notion is — look, the truth is that Taylor Swift and I are together, and we're very happy. Thanks for asking. That's the truth. It's not a publicity stunt. "
Do you know who you're going to take with you to the Emmys?
"I don't. I didn't even know I could. It's 4 in the morning here! (Laughs.)"
Who are you most excited to see at the Emmys in September?
"Oh gosh, there are so many. There are so many nominees from the different categories. I'm very much looking forward to seeing my friends who are nominated in the same category, Benedict Cumberbatch and Idris Elba. They're both old friends of mine. I worked with Benedict a long time ago — six or seven years ago now, and he's been a friend ever since. And the same is true of Idris. So I'm looking forward to seeing them and James Corden too. There's lots of people I'm sure I'll bump into. It's funny how back in April I did a roundtable interview with Liev Schreiber and Bob Odenkirk — and they're both nominated, so I'll get to see them again. I love their shows and their work."
