that you already admire.

Oprah Winfrey and Forest Whitaker talk about teaming up for their new movie, The Butler.

The two of us worked together to make sure that we had real chemistry on screen as a

family because that is the reason he said yes to the story, right? And also the reason

I said yes to the story because we want to tell it through the eyes of this family, so

you have got to actually have a family that works on camera and not this sort of pretend

thing.

We have no tolerance for politics at the White House.

I'm Cecil Gaines. I'm the new butler.

The film, which focuses on presidential butler Cecil Gaines, see the pair play Cecil and

his wife Gloria, and their chemistry was as obvious off screen as it was on set with Forest

having been invited to one of Oprah's parties.

When I did Last King, she called and she set up a dinner for me at her home. Because that's

what Oprah does. I called him up, and I said your performance is so outstanding, I just

love you. I would like to celebrate you. Could I have a party for you? And he said yes, and

so I had him come to my house and had a little Oscar cake done. Yeah, what was it? Like 38

people or something. Then I had a whole big book made about the dinner and all that stuff.

Not your average spag bol night then. The film hits cinemas on Friday.

Everything you are, and everything you have is because of that butler.
