Will confessed Claptrap was his favourite character before getting the behind-the-scenes lowdown on how they filmed with the robot, and whether they had to rely on a man in a green-screen outfit covered in tennis balls.

“He didn’t even show up,” Cate said of Jack.

She added: “We looked at the actual robot which was slightly disconcerting when people felt they had to animate the robot so they’d be poking it with a stick.

“I don’t think it’s that dissimilar from what you see in the movie.”

She revealed: “Jack had pre-recorded it all. Which I think is going to be his default setting henceforth.”
