Hello, everyone.

I am Jamie Campbell Bower

and this is the Wired Autocomplete Interview.

God help us all.

[calm music]

[Jamie laughs]

I'm just terrified of all of it.

[calm music]

Does Jamie Campbell Bower?

Does Jamie Campbell Bower have the 001 tattoo?

Jamie Campbell Bower doesn't have the 001 tattoo yet.

I think I did threaten to get it at one point.

Maybe I should get it.

All right, let's bin this off.

Let's all go get tattoos.

Yeah, no, I'm gonna do that.

Does Jamie Campbell Bower do the Vecna voice?

Jamie Campbell Bower does do the Vecna voice, yes.

And if you ask me to do it, I'm gonna say no.

But yes, the Vecna voice was born out of lockdown.

But also, I was going through references for the show.

One of the references that I sort of rediscovered

and stumbled upon was Hellraiser.

It was the sort of VHS and Blockbuster when I was a kid

that you'd see and you'd be like, oh my God, what is that?

And so upon watching it, I was like, oh wow

like this is where it's gonna come from for me.

This is the beginning of it for sure.

I've been fortunate enough to kind of know

how that part of my body works

and actually ultimately it, it comes from being more relaxed

and just allowing my larynx to open using my diaphragm

in a little bit better way

'cause when we are stressed or whatever

like everything goes like this and you can't do anything.

So it's actually ultimately just about purely letting go

and purely just relaxing into it.

So I never have to vocal rest ever.

I can do it for for hours and and days if needs be

as some of my friends will tell you

'cause I will send them voice notes of me doing Vecna.

Does Jamie Campbell Bower speak French?

I have difficulty answering this question

because yes, I speak a little French.

Jamie Campbell Bower.

[speaking in French]

But I don't speak that perfectly.

So I can speak French.

Whenever I'm in France,

I try and speak as much French as possible.

I try to improve my French every time I'm there.

I spend a good amount of time in Paris

and I've been fortunate enough

to spend some time in Paris this year

where I have been practicing my French.

It was something we learned at school

but I'm not like fluent in French.

I'm not like Timothee Chalamet

who's just like out there doing whole interviews in French.

So please don't ask me to do an interview in French

'cause I won't be able to.

Does Jamie Campbell Bower sing?

Jamie Campbell Bower does sing.

Jamie Campbell Bower sings in the shower.

Jamie Campbell Bower sings in the car.

Jamie Campbell Bower also sings on record too

and you can own that if you wish.

You don't have to.

Jamie Campbell Bower and Joseph Quinn.

We are very much in love.

The wedding will be coming soon.

Jamie Campbell Bower eyes.

I have them.

I have eyes.

They're blue I think, I think they're blue.

I think they're my mother's.

Jamie Campbell Bower Breaking Dawn.

I loved making those films.

I had such a good time.

We shot down in Louisiana in Baton Rouge.

I play Caius, one of the Volturi members.

And funnily enough, a press junk kit was here

at this very place that I'm at now.

Those last two movies we shot back to back

down in Louisiana.

Everyone was super nice to us.

We had such a good time.

I think there was something like 72 named and numbered

like featured cast on the call sheet.

Most of us were staying in the hotel.

Good times.

Jamie Campbell Bower, Felix Stray Kids.

I was fortunate enough to meet Felix recently.

I'm gonna tell you the story.

So my little cousin loves Stray Kids

and I for Christmas last year

gave her some money to buy tickets for the show.

And then it transpires that somebody I know very well

whom I am a godfather to their son

knows Felix and knows the band.

So I noticed this and realized this.

So I decided I'd sent her a text message

to see if I could organize something from my little cousin

and she was like, absolutely, Felix would love to meet you.

The band would love to meet you.

I was like, this is amazing, fabulous.

So I was invited to the show with my cousin

and we went backstage and we met Felix

and he was really sweet and really nice and very pretty.

Jamie Campbell Bower makeup Vecna.

Designed by the team team at BGFX

which is Barrie Gower in London.

I'm fortunate enough now to call Barrie a friend

whom I love and value his opinion on all sorts.

It was an extensive process for season four.

It took about four, sorry, it took about seven hours,

seven and a half hours, eight hours, something like that.

Slightly less for Stranger Things 5, slightly less.

But yeah, Barrie's made, I mean some incredible characters

most notably like the Night King,

worked on The Last of Us.

So Barrie's just a genius and and yeah, a total dude.

It's not a process of just kind of like lie down

and have this put on.

It's like, you have to stand up, sit down,

roll on your back, go on all fours.

No, it's a lot.

So we listen to music.

Sometimes I'd put on a film, I'd read a book,

bit of sudoku every now and again.

There has been a a notable meme of me

that's been sent round on the telephone holding a coffee.

That was taken on the last day of season four

and it was my mother on the telephone.

Yes, I had coffee every day

but it's important to answer to your mom when she calls.

So mother, just know you're part of that

and thank you for calling at the most inopportune time.

which I hadn't been back to for 18 years.

I hadn't shot anything at Pinewood in London for 18 years

and I went back there the other day

and my old dressing room building is still there.

It was such a trip to go back.

So yeah, Jamie Campbell Bower's first movie

was Sweeney Todd many moons ago.

Jamie Campbell Bower had a band called Counterfeit.

We started in 2015

and it was like a sort of like heavy rock band.

We were often described as punk

which I always felt like kind of, I don't know,

wildly uncomfortable with being described as punk

but we definitely like took some punk elements

from bands that we grew up listening to

and it was the most amazing experience

and it was just so cool

and all the boys in that band and I are still super close.

My brother was in the band too.

Our first tour of the US was something like 26 shows

in 23 days and we did it in a van.

It's not what I would describe as wholly safe for work,

this audiobook, but I was asked to do it

and I'm like a huge believer in however something feels

when it approaches you or you approach it

is how it's gonna feel throughout the process

and I had so much fun doing it.
