The Interview - asking questions
Improve your skill at asking questions in English, in the context of an interview.  Listen to an interview with Martin Moore, an actor.  Put the questions into the correct column according to whether Martin answers the journalist’s question or not.

To try to get an answer, the journalist rephrases a lot of questions, which you will find below.  Put the parts of the rephrased question in the correct order.

1. Rumours are rife on both sides of the Atlantic that you are planning to start a family in the near future.  Are they true?
2. Did you find all that media attention intrusive?
3. Do you think you’ll ever play opposite Nicole on the big screen?
4. In your last film you play a historical character.  Did you find that a challenge?
5. Doesn’t Nicole worry about you getting injured?

   To most of us Martin Moore is a bit of an enigma.  In some ways you can’t get away from him – he’s starred in eight films in the last six years and his pre-Nicole partying is infamous – but he very rarely does interviews and is notoriously tightlipped when he does.  So when I walked into his Hilton suite in London, I wasn’t exactly sure how to angle my questions.  Photos of a curvy Nicole have been on the front pages of all the tabloids for weeks, under headlines claiming they are expecting their first child.  [2] at ‘some point in the future’, but all I get is that smile and a ‘Sorry Sarah - no baby questions’.
   I quickly shift to safer ground and ask about the wedding, and media circus it generated. ‘I loved it,’ he says.  ‘Initially I had doubts about marrying in church as it is well known that I’m not religious in the conventional sense, but Nicole had her heart set on a traditional wedding and it was great to see her so happy.’  [3], he just says that it goes with the job – he really has mellowed!
   Nicole and Martin are already planning to work together behind the cameras producing ‘Betrayal’ – a thriller starring Joe Philner, but would they consider co-starring together.  [4] he says with some enthusiasm.  ‘She’s a great actress.’
   Early on in his career, Martin was most famous for his nude scenes.  [5], but even so, the eponymous role in his latest film ‘Julius Caesar’ must have been a bit of challenge.  ‘No, not really – well not the acting anyway,’ says Martin.  ‘Some of the stunts were pretty difficult though.’   Apparently he played the same character at acting college, but without the stunts.  Doesn’t Nicole worry about him diving off chariots and the like? ‘ I don’t think so,’ says Martin. ‘She’s never mentioned it - you’d have to ask her.’  When his phone rings, I hope I might get the opportunity, but unfortunately it isn’t her.
   We move on to his next project.  [6] – ‘I’m reading scripts at the moment’, but he does mention his desire to return to the stage, possibly in the UK.  And where will the happy couple be settling down in the UK?  ‘We bought a house in Scotland last year,’ he says, without being any more specific about location, ‘but I don’t think we’re going to live there full time.’  Apparently Martin isn’t keen on British winters, [8].  And with that, my time is up, and he flashes me one last smile.  With all that talent, looks to die for, and one of the most famous women on the planet as a wife, we’re going to be hearing a lot more from Martin Moore.
