It comes after the Gavin & Stacey star has said he’s finding it difficult to promote his new comedy film as war continues to unfold in Ukraine.
As the cast are in the midst of publicising the film ahead of its release on Friday, Matthew admits he’s finding it hard promoting the ‘silly’ project amid the ‘heartbreaking’ crisis.
During an appearance on Lorraine on Tuesday, he said: ‘It is hard to be promoting a silly comedy movie in this heartbreaking situation.’
However, show host Lorraine Kelly insisted people in the UK needed a bit of light relief at the moment, telling him: ‘You know what, for goodness sake, do we ever need a belly laugh right now?

‘Do we ever need something that’s daft and silly and bawdy and rude – that’s what we need right now.’
The Nan Movie sees Nan and Jamie go on a road trip as she tries to repair her relationship with her estranged sister Nell (Katherine Parkinson) after it emerges Nell is dying.
Comedienne Catherine’s role of Nan is based on the popular character from her BBC Two sketch show which ran for three series from 2004 to 2006, along with four BBC One spin-offs, the Catherine Tate’s Nan specials, which aired between 2009 and 2015.
However, while he feels awkward promoting the film due to the troubles in Ukraine, he Mathew says he did enjoy working on the project.

He told Lorraine: ‘It’s an origins story and road trip all in one. In this film, there’s a moment of tenderness from Nan that is really nice, albeit after an all night rave.
‘(There was) a lot and a lot of improvisation! We did a lot of improv on the road, it was fantastic.
‘We’ve Gone old school with it and there’s some bloopers at the end.
‘I make her go on road trip to visit estranged sister, a roller-coaster. We shot in Dublin and Galway.’
And the star says it was wonderful working with Catherine again, adding that their friendship is still going strong after many years.
‘It was a real landmark moment making this,’ he said. ‘I first met Cath 20 years ago.
‘It’s a testament to her loyalty and I’m so privileged to be her friend. It was quite an emotional time.’
The Nan Movie is scheduled to hit cinemas on Friday 18 March.
