  • Fellow Welshman, Rhys Ifans, joins Rob as they discuss Rhys’ affinity to err on the side of danger, both in his work and personal life, and how that has shaped where he is today. He reminisces about his first movie appearance with the great Sir Anthony Hopkins and remembers the time he gave Rob two tickets to see him in A Christmas Carol, only to realise whilst on stage that Rob had brought the one and only Sir Tom Jones as his plus one!

      Ah, there's more! How did I manage to miss this giant, pinned post? (rhetorical question) I've always said that the only thing better than an interview with a Welshman is an interview with two of them. Holds true. Also, I am horribly envious that you got to see Rhys in "A Christmas Carol". Thank you for sharing this video. It made me smile a lot.

    I could listen to this man talk for years. He was in my brothers class at school and he was scary to me then. The north n south welsh are different, we aren’t as sophisticated as the south. And that’s saying something! Ha. He’s such a good actor with amazing presence. Still has the danger. A true real north welsh character. Plus he’s dead right about Rhyl!
