I’m a huge fan of the Paddington movies.

BANDERAS: In my case, it was my daughter, Stella.

I love that character from many years ago.

You have to do it.

[Laughs] My daughter is 28 years old now, but she was insistent.

It was like, Okay, okay.

I signed the contract.

That was really lovely.

COLMAN:Paddington is an icon because he is kindness.He is a big, warm hug.

I was going to talk politics, but no, this is not the right time.

COLMAN: We just want Paddington.

Olivia, I actually have to ask you an individual question.

Movie

I am very excited to seeThe Roses, mostly because of Tony McNamara and his script.

What you’re able to tease about the remake and his script?

COLMAN: Tony McNamara is… Well, I don’t need to convertyou.

Paddington 3

I would do anything that he’d written.

It’s less of a remake and more of a jumping-off point.

So, I think we were influenced by that film, and then it’s become something quite different.

Tony has elevated it even further.

It is a couple fighting to the death, but it’s very funny.

Tony’s made it even funnier, and it was so much fun to make.

We had an amazing American cast, as well, of very, very funny people.

Paddington in Peruis now playing around the world and sets off on its American adventure on February 14.
