"I once had a pair of jeans I really liked. I loved them, they were perfect! And then they fell apart..."

literal actual thing that has come out of ben whishaw’s mouth

In context, because it made me laugh:
Whishaw, like Garai, was drawn to the character as written by Morgan. “Freddie is one of those characters you’d like to be more like, in real life. We’re similar in that we’re both a bit obsessive, but he’s braver, bolder. He has absolute courage in his convictions. He’s not a saint, but at the centre of him is something very admirable. I think it would be lovely to have that conviction, that very clear belief structure. I guess I wish I had that.” Whishaw has a whimsical, meandering way of talking, and a tendency to start stories that don’t go anywhere. (On clothes: “I once had a pair of jeans I really liked. I loved them, they were perfect! And then they fell apart and, um, well I didn’t buy another pair.”) His ideal day off, he says, would be wandering around the markets and flower markets in east London, where he lives. “I like to sort of drift about.”
