TRL Transcript: thanks so much to Ellen for it
mtv: Welcome to TRL! And Congratulations!
william: Wow! Thank you so much!
mtv: How amazing! Your new movie The Chronicles of Narnia; The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, opened at number one at the box office, taking in over 67 million dollars! When did you first find out, that it was such a huge-, that it was at number one and what did you do to celebrate?
william: Um, well, I think we found out, yesterday, um, at the Casanova premiere, which I was fortunately invited to. And um, Sienna was there, and Jude was there, so it was nice, little, celebration.
mtv: Very nice, that's a good way to celebrate. Like the star you are, will all the rest of the stars, right?!
william: Well, I was like, totally awkward with those guys, like I mean, seriously, I'm not a star, I assure you, so I was just as nervous as anyone else would have been.
mtv: Really? Did you talk to Jude Law?
william: I did indeed, um, he was, very interesting, and he said his kids loved the film, so that meant alot.
mtv: Very good that's really sweet of him to say, that's really nice. And, recently you attended the premiere in London, with the entire Royal Family, now, what is that like? Did anyone have to coach you on how to behave around them, what you're supposed to do? Because, that's pretty huge for someone being from England.
william: Yeah, I mean, It was kind of funny just because, you're mean to say to, His Royal Highness, "Good evening, your royal highness", and you're meant to bow, and shake his hand. Unfortunately, to my right I had Skandar, who basically played Edmund, and he just stuck his hand out, and was like "Hey," And I mean, you don't really address the Prince of Wales with just "Hey," you know, it was a little weird.
mtv: So what did you do? Did you have to like...kiss the hand?
william: No you do not kiss the hand! I mean, you don't know where it's been! I mean, please.
mtv: That's true, good point, good point!
william: You just bow, and you know, they're very nice, and they speak to you, and it's all very nice.
mtv: Well that's cool. Now this is your first feature film, and you have literally blown up overnight, I mean, William Moose-everyone is going to know who you are now, with the number one film in the country. So, do your friends treat you any differently, now that you're a superstar?
william: Um, not really. They're just, they've been kind of on this roller coaster ride as I have, I mean it was eighteen months for auditions, and then seven months in New Zealand, and they've just sort of followed me the whole way. And have been so good, and so close, and you know, my brother, my family are brutally honest when my brother plays the video game, he tends to kill me 950 times the first ten minutes he's on the game.
mtv: My gosh, brutal, give him a break over here! Next we're going to see if this guy is ready for stardom, but first lets get back into the countdown
[after video]
mtv: At number eight that was Shakira with "Don't Bother". I'm here with William Moseley, star of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Now you do realize, you are, your life is never going to be the same. You're a star, you have the number one film in the country. So right now, we wanna learn how celebrity life will be for you, and how you'll react to it in the future. So we're gonna play a game called "Big Willie Style"
william: [laughs] Okey-Dokey.
mtv: Which famous actress are you going to ask out?
william: well, I would like to ask out Jessica Alba, but I have a strange feeling she's gonna say "No!". A very very strange feeling.
mtv: You might wanna start out with somebody who's single first.
william: Exactly!
mtv: What kind of car will you buy, and how will you pimp it out?
william: I know it's a crazy thing to say, but I would love a 1950's Mercedes. Just because, yeah, I used to know someone who had one, and the doors fold out, and its silver, red leather interior, just a beautiful car.
mtv: So that's going to be you first gift to yourself?
william: Well, maybe not my first gift, more like in ten years time.
mtv: Very nice, Okay. Now what name will you use when you check into hotels?
william: Um...well,
mtv: I'm not sure if he wants to tell us this, but tell us anyway!
william: Well, the thing is, I love tea. I know it's a weird thing to say, but I just love a good cup of tea. So it'll probably be something along the lines of Mr. Teacup, or something.... so if anyone wants to phone up, ask for Mr. Teacup.[laughs]
mtv: [laughs] Ask for Mr. Teacup, that's really funny! Now what do you think will be the first tabloid rumor about you?
william: um, yeah, probably out with Lindsay, having a crazy time in LA. No...it should probably be..
mtv: dancin', drinkin'...
william: I should think, ODing on a cup of tea..again! Falling down the steps somewhere, you know, or looking very stupid I should imagine.
mtv: that's very English of you William, you love tea. Now, actors always branch out into other businesses, such as restaurants, fashion, music. What do you think you'll be into?
william: Well, I would love to direct. But I mean, its so easy to say that, I think it's really interesting, but we'll just have to wait and see, and hope for the best.
mtv: Very good. Well thank you so much!
william: Thank you so much! Thanks you guys!
mtv: The Chronicles of Narnia is in theaters now, and take it from me, it's an excellent film. William, thank you so much.
william: Thank you very much.
