and it was raining , and my phone rang , and it ' s my agent . I stepped out of the car , and anyone that would have been watching me would have seen me suddenly start dancing around in the rain , in the car park . I just knew I had this part and then went out on a boat and saw this little dolphin swimming around this western Irish Bay just going , " My life in the last five minutes has gone really strange ".
Will - That ' s the magic of what we do . One minute , it ' s boring , and then your life in the next year will be completely different . That ' s what ' s exciting about acting .
Ralf – So yeah , that was it . It was pretty amazing . And no , I didn ' t hesitate for two seconds .
Will , would you ever go on ' I ' m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here !' because I know you did that sketch for Keith Lemon years ago which people still think was real ?
Will - Well , to first answer your question , people think I ' ve done ' I ' m a Celebrity …' because of that sketch as it goes viral every year , and do you know what ? I would say no . But I did say no about ' Strictly ', but there was always more chance of me doing ' Strictly ' than ' I ' m a Celebrity …', just because I ' ll be bored , I hate camping , it ' s full of bugs and I am scared of spiders . So , listen , it could be entertaining for everybody …
Ralf - Will said one of the immortal quotes in one of our early podcasts where he said , " I mean , you can never say never though , can you ? Because if I haven ' t got any work going on . And I ' m struggling to pay my tax bill ; you never know , you might see me there next year with a crocodile appendage in my mouth ". And he did a little Groucho Marx thing as well , which I ' ll never forget until the day I die .
Will - Listen , If you see me on it , I ' ve had a bad year . I need to pay my tax bill . So there you go ! [ Laughter ]
And Ralf , would you ever be tempted to follow in Will ' s footsteps and do ' Strictly Come Dancing ', if asked ?
Ralf - With Strictly , I think it is a little different than all of those other shows . I feel like if you can genuinely have a challenge , learn a skill , and learn something , you ' ll carry it with you for the rest of your life , whether it ' s ' Strictly ' or ' Dancing on Ice ', which would be another one - what a fantastic skill to learn . The only ones I ' ve ever done are football-related ones because I obviously love football , It ' s not something that I ' m particularly keen to do .
Will - You can dance though . You ' ve got rhythm . Ralf - Oh , I ' d win it . Will - Hold on ! You ' d win it ?
Ralf - I will never say never ; I ' m 43 now , nearly 44 , and I might say to myself soon that it is an experience I ' d like to have . I don ' t see it right now , but absolutely , never say never .
Will - We will chat on tour about it , and I will see if I can get an answer from him . So , if you come to the tour , we might have a little chat on stage about it , or we might even put Ralf through his paces , and I might have to show him a few steps .
See what happens when we come together ? Madness . [ Laughter ]
