00:00 You recently visited your daughter at college, right?
00:03 Yeah.
00:04 And you've also said, though, that I don't know if it's maybe the college visits,
00:07 but in a conversation, you said that you've had regrets about skipping college.
00:11 Well, they were having the most fun I've ever seen anybody have ever,
00:15 even more than her coming to Vegas.
00:17 Were you letting loose, too?
00:20 We got to come back to that.
00:21 I was at the frat house and, you know, a couple of the spots in town.
00:26 [music]
00:33 Dude, nothing like a Southern College campus.
00:35 They were having fun over that Wednesday game.
00:38 Oh, yeah, it was nuts.
00:40 The past weekend was incredible.
00:42 But how much would your career path have changed
00:44 had you gone that route instead of this one?
00:47 I'd still be in college.
00:49 [laughter]
00:51 I'd still be in the frat house.
00:53 [music]
00:55 Hey, next stop, National Championship.
00:58 Yes, sir.
00:59 [cheering]
01:00 I see you guys in use, so let's go.
01:02 Let's go.
01:03 [cheering]
01:05 The fraternity.
01:06 The 25th annual senior.
01:07 That's actually another movie right there.
01:09 Just gave me a new movie.
01:10 There you go.
01:11 Well, it's a treat to catch up with you all today, because this movie is so fun.
01:15 I feel like it's what families will need right now.
01:17 Yes.
01:17 A little action, or actually I should say a lot of action, a lot of comedy,
01:20 and the two of you.
01:21 But this isn't your first time to co-star as a married couple.
01:24 You did so in 2016's Patriot Days.
01:27 Why are you laughing?
01:28 It's just...
01:29 I look like a clown.
01:30 No, it's just your color.
01:31 I'm basically a crossing guard.
01:33 All right, and they send me to the marathon at the finish line
01:35 with the biggest VIPs in the city.
01:36 So, obviously a much more serious film.
01:39 But how refreshing was it to team up again for a fun, exciting ride?
01:42 Yeah, it was awesome, especially with this particular content.
01:46 You know, the other...
01:47 It was very different, as you said, tonally.
01:49 And so, I've admired Mark's work for quite some time.
01:52 And so, when I read the script and I had this opportunity,
01:55 I jumped at the chance.
01:57 Yes.
01:58 I did. I did. I adore him.
02:00 This is crazy.
02:01 Oh my God, we're going to Vegas!
02:03 Woo!
02:05 Oh, so pumped.
02:06 Nothing brings a family together like a road trip.
02:08 Did you play a part in casting this one?
02:10 I recommended her right away.
02:12 I think, you know, it's a fine line with the action, the comedy,
02:18 and then also, you know, being able to keep this secret from our wife
02:22 and not making it seem like she's just oblivious to everything.
02:25 And then, she also then ends up having to carry a lot of the film.
02:29 And so, you know, she's been nothing but a joy to work with
02:32 and a joy just to get to know.
02:34 And she's also...
02:35 She's a wife, she's a mom.
02:37 Yeah, you get it.
02:38 Yeah, we get it. That's exactly right.
02:40 And she's all about family.
02:41 I've always only heard her talking about her family.
02:44 I love that.
02:45 I mean, just the chemistry was next level with y'all.
02:48 Thank you.
02:49 So, well done on that front.
02:50 And, Mark, I feel like this might be the first time ever
02:53 that we have seen a baby Bjorn being rocked during a fight scene.
02:58 Really?
03:01 At least let me put my kid down.
03:02 Wake up on aisle six.
03:07 Sorry about the mess.
03:08 This ain't your grandmama's fight scene in some grocery store.
03:11 This is next level.
03:12 So, did you ever think that you would have to master something like that?
03:15 Well, I thought while we were shooting that,
03:17 because it was making the kids so upset,
03:19 we had two sets of twins during that particular sequence,
03:24 and they were not having it.
03:26 Well, can you...
03:27 I can't blame them.
03:28 I mean...
03:29 No.
03:30 So, the kids are really in the Bjorn for most of it?
03:33 Because what we wanted to do
03:35 and what we thought would be really cool for the audience
03:38 was that the audience knows my secret,
03:40 but also my youngest son,
03:41 but he can't verbally communicate what the secret is,
03:44 so he enjoys seeing Dad get turned up.
03:47 Giggling and clapping all the way through.
03:49 Yeah, so we wanted a lot of giggling and clapping
03:51 and the baby being happy in that kind of dangerous event.
03:55 And so, I was like,
03:56 "If this is how it's going to be, we're in for a long, hard shoot."
03:59 Oh, my gosh.
04:00 But then the professionals came in,
04:02 they created the chemistry with the babies,
04:04 and then it was time for the baby to steal the movie.
04:07 Yes.
04:08 He's so adorable.
04:09 So cute.
04:10 Okay, we've got to talk about this epic Vanilla Ice Ice Baby.
04:15 Sing along in the minivan, Mr. Mark Wahlberg.

04:21 ♪ Ice is back with a brand new adventure ♪
04:23 ♪ Something grappled to me tightly ♪
04:25 Five hours on a plane or 33 hours in a car?
04:28 Can someone unlock the car, please?
04:30 It was so good, but I was thinking,
04:32 now this would have been a great opportunity
04:34 to use a Marky Mark in the Funky Bunch song.

04:44 ♪ This is such a good vibration ♪
04:47 Was it ever-- you did?
04:49 What happened?
04:50 People thought it would throw people out of the audiences
04:52 for a bit of a loop down, all of a sudden,
04:54 to break the character.
04:55 Like a little good vibration?
04:56 Yeah, to break character.
04:57 But I did say to Michelle,
04:58 she could sing in the background,
04:59 I've got vibrations that we could--
05:01 Feel it, feel it.
05:02 There we go.
05:03 Exactly.
05:04 We could do that at the premiere.
05:06 Throwback to your rap days.
05:07 But it was cool.
05:08 Look, I mean, I said--
05:09 Simon had thrown like 12 different songs at us,
05:12 mostly like these obscure, you know,
05:14 like Irish folk songs,
05:16 and then Vanilla Ice's "Ice Ice Baby" was in the mix,
05:18 and I certainly, you know, know the song well.
05:21 ♪ If there was a problem, yo, I'll solve it ♪
05:23 ♪ Check out the hook while my DJ revolves it ♪
05:25 ♪ Ice, ice, baby ♪
05:27 She knows even the second verse.
05:29 Michelle, you had so many surprise moments in this film
05:33 from your lyrics for Vanilla Ice's song
05:35 to a keg stand.
05:37 Yes.
05:38 You were bringing it.
05:39 Were you doing the--
05:40 Did you do that keg stand yourself?
05:41 Yes.
05:42 That is a new part of--
05:43 Well, no, they--
05:44 I've done a keg stand, I guess.
05:46 I had some assistance with some ropes
05:48 and a couple of guys holding my legs,
05:50 like old school.
05:51 She did 20 takes and 15 different coverages.
05:54 Yeah.
05:55 You nailed it, and I gotta say--
05:56 Thank you.
05:57 You have been known to work with
05:58 some of the greatest action stars out there,
06:00 from Mark to Tom Cruise,
06:01 to name a couple of the guys.
06:02 But you were no damsel in distress in this film.
06:04 Thank you.
06:05 That's right.
06:06 Love that.
06:07 What was it like taking on that charge
06:09 and being able to get into the action
06:11 and the physical comedy of things with a song?
06:13 I love that so much.
06:14 My career kind of started in comedy,
06:16 and I've kind of veered away from that for a while,
06:18 so this was really great for me to get to
06:21 kind of dive headfirst into it.
06:22 There was so many great moments that I could--
06:25 And you go headfirst at some points.
06:27 Yeah, and like--
06:28 Yeah, that's right, literally.
06:30 And I had so much fun with my co-star, Maggie Q,
06:33 who's just a badass,
06:34 and we had a great time together.
06:36 This guy here, folks like Mark Wahlberg, Tom Cruise,
06:39 have they taught you anything about taking on stunt work
06:43 over the course of your career?
06:44 You know what?
06:45 I'm jealous.
06:46 I'm so jealous of Mark,
06:48 because he's just been doing it for years,
06:50 and he can really learn choreography like that
06:52 within like 30 seconds.
06:53 They come up, they're like,
06:54 "You gotta do this and this and this,"
06:56 and then Mark's like, "All right, got it,"
06:57 and they roll camera, and he just does it,
06:59 and it's flawless, and you really need one take.
07:00 I really need to train for like a couple of months
07:03 and really get the choreography down,
07:05 specifically because I--
07:07 I mean, obviously I don't want to hurt myself,
07:09 but I really, really don't want to hurt anyone else.
07:11 You make the most painful of looking scenes
07:13 look effortless, and like you really do.
07:16 Now, Mark, you recently said that you
07:18 were really drawn to the script
07:20 because of this family dynamic,
07:21 which just is showcased from start to finish in this film.
07:25 You're embracing your age right now,
07:28 and you've even said that you look forward
07:30 to playing the role of a grandpa someday.
07:33 So, when is it--
07:34 If I'm lucky enough to be able to,
07:36 you know, at that capacity, that'd be fantastic.
07:39 But I don't see you slowing down anytime soon
07:41 when it comes to it.
07:42 I'm certainly not trying to,
07:43 but I also don't want to like be that guy
07:46 who's trying to still play young,
07:48 you know, playing a soldier
07:50 who's just joined the military.
07:51 Like, you gotta be realistic, right?
07:53 I want to age gracefully and embrace getting older,
07:56 but certainly I want as much longevity as possible, so.
07:59 I mean, you really need to up the workout,
08:01 wake up a little earlier to hit the gym a little harder.
08:03 I don't know.
08:04 I woke up pretty early today.
08:05 I started falling asleep in the last interview.
08:07 It's almost bedtime now.
