For the unversed, “Blink” is the title given to the fans of K-Pop group whereas “hammer” is Blackpink's official concert glow stick, known as Hammer Bong.

Jimmy questioned, “Are you a Blink?”

Hugh replied, “Now I am, yes. I have a daughter who dragged me to this thing.”

“Well, it's not automatically a grumpy 63-year-old Englishman's cup of tea, you know, K-pop,” shared the actor.

However, Hugh told Jimmy, “It was a huge concert in Hyde Park in London and she took me along and what was fascinating, she's a very good girl, you know, she's a very good girl at school, she's a very good girl at home she’s marvellous.”

While talking about his daughter, Hugh disclosed, “She (Tabitha) turned into a raving nutcase. Suddenly, she's got this hammer in her hand, going crazy like this.”

“It was like The Exorcist! But, after an hour, I'm,” quipped the actor.

Meanwhile, Hugh will be seen in upcoming movie, Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet, which will release in United States theatres on December 15.
