They all listened to me. I told them what to do. No (laughs)... I suppose in a way Jean Valjean has to be in some way the leader, but I felt it was very 'ensemble', I felt we were all in it together. On the film set, Tom Hooper (the director) was our leader, and we just all went for it, and we all felt together. It was the most ensemble feeling I've ever had on a film." - VAR of crowd at premiere - Amanda Seyfried talking to journalists SOUNDBITE 2 Amanda Seyfried, plays Cosette (English, 12 secs): "I got really used to doing vocal exercises and lip exercises, lip trills and tongue exercises, and I would do it accidentally out shopping and in random places and forget that I was doing it, so that was weird!" -Sacha Baron Cohen on red carpet -Crowd at premiere SOUNDBITE 3 Sacha Baron Cohen, plays Thénardier (English, 10 secs): "The royal baby - yes, who is it?
