00:00 - In part two, what would you say was the most
00:02 physically or emotionally challenging part for you?
00:06 - My interactions with Austin's character fade
00:09 without giving too much away.
00:12 There's a particular moment where
00:14 our interaction allows the audience
00:20 to see really who Robban is.
00:22 And that's inherently, he's a coward.
00:25 And all of his rage and violence and outbursts
00:28 all come from a place of insecurity.
00:30 So, and there's just one particular moment in the film
00:33 where you see that.
00:34 - Yeah.
00:35 Was Austin's transformation the most shocking for you?
00:38 'Cause I still, I can't get that image out of my head.
00:41 - His wasn't the most shocking.
00:42 It was pretty, I mean, pretty amazing, pretty impressive.
00:46 But still, it's gonna be stellar.
00:47 It's just watching him and lug that suit around all day.
00:50 - He said it took eight hours to get that on.
00:55 - Yeah, yeah.
00:56 And that's, I mean, eight hours just putting it on.
00:57 Then he's gotta be in it all day.
00:59 And like, imagine just the simple challenges
01:02 of having to use the bathroom.
01:03 (laughing)
01:05 - You know what, that's the question I should've asked him.
01:07 How did that happen?
01:09 - So yeah, we all wanna know,
01:11 but we're too respectful to ask.
01:12 (laughing)
01:14 - Exactly.
01:15 - But imagine you go and, I mean,
01:17 you know, a work day should be ending eight hours.
01:20 But his is just starting.
01:21 - Wow.
01:22 - So we're all very aware of that.
01:23 And if you see Stellan, you know, out of the costume
01:26 and realize how much of the transformation
01:28 going into the costume.
01:30 It's like, that's the most shocking transformation.
01:32 - I don't know if it's,
01:33 it's not really a shocking transformation.
01:34 It's just shocking.
01:35 But the whole cast is so captivating.
01:37 But I did find when I was watching this
01:40 that when I'm thinking about the core four,
01:42 which is like Zendaya, Florence, Timothy, and Austin,
01:47 I kind of felt like I was watching
01:48 this generation's Brat Pack.
01:50 You know what I mean?
01:52 - Yeah, I haven't talked about it,
01:52 but I totally see it now.
01:54 - Yeah, I mean, in the best way.
01:55 'Cause it's like you have the core
01:57 of young Hollywood power players
01:59 all in the same place on the same screen.
02:01 - Yeah, it's special.
02:03 I mean, I'm just talking about a powerful group.
02:04 I think at the core of it, it's that they're talented.
02:09 (laughs)
02:10 There's something, you know,
02:12 something about them that's electrifying.
02:13 There's something about them that's captivating.
02:15 There's something about them that you can't,
02:17 you look at them and they're mesmerizing.
02:18 You can't look away.
02:20 And their performances are brilliant.
02:21 So not only are they exceptionally beautiful people,
02:25 (laughs)
02:26 there's something, you know, emotional and deep
02:29 and something that resonates with people.
02:30 You know, and some people have that
02:32 without the talent to back it up,
02:34 but they have the talent to back it up,
02:36 which is why their roles can be so versatile.
02:39 They can do, you know, their ranges from A to Z.
02:42 And they are, they're the, I mean,
02:43 they're the biggest stars in the world.

03:00 He just closes his eyes and nods a little bit.
03:03 - Am I as red as I feel?
03:04 (laughs)
03:07 No comment.
03:08 - First of all, it's genius marketing
03:10 because we're all talking about it
03:12 and it's going viral upon viral.
03:14 - We've had the conversations, it's like,
03:15 did nobody realize?
03:17 And I think they all realized and said,
03:19 yeah, this is gonna create a stir.
03:22 Everybody's gonna want one.
03:23 So.
03:24 - Josh Brolin said,
03:25 ain't no way I'm putting my hand in that thing.
03:27 - Unless I'm getting a milk dud out of it, forget it.
03:30 - I was the exact opposite.
03:32 I was like.
03:33 (laughs)
03:35 - I love you so Dave, I love you.
03:44 Oh my gosh.
03:46 Okay, I have to ask about the last show girl quickly
03:49 because you just wrapped that
03:51 and you had so many great actors in that,
03:52 but really you're in it with these two legends,
03:54 Pam Anderson and Jamie Lee Curtis.
03:56 So what was it like working with those guys
03:58 and what can we expect from it?
04:00 - First, I have to say that I'm so excited.
04:01 It was a magical story.
04:03 I think people want to see Pam come back
04:06 and I think this is the perfect role for her
04:08 'cause she's such an endearing woman
04:11 and her life has been,
04:14 there's been a lot of tragedy to her life
04:16 and people want to root for her because she deserves it.
04:20 And so I'm excited for people to see this film.
04:23 It's inspiring, it's emotional.
04:26 Jamie Lee Curtis is transformed.
04:29 She's just a magical woman.
04:30 She's Jamie Lee Curtis.
04:32 Jamie Lee effing Curtis.
04:34 - Yeah, yes indeed, put it on a t-shirt.
04:37 Yes indeed.
04:40 Okay, WWE fans will like murder me if I don't ask this
04:44 because you have been like pending
04:47 into the Hall of Fame since 2020.
04:50 So I know there was the pandemic
04:51 and then you've had filming challenges.
04:53 Is 2024 gonna be the year that we can see this happen?
04:56 - But possibly 2025.
05:00 - Oh, okay.
05:01 - It will happen.
05:02 - Okay.
05:02 - Yeah, I, you know, it's weird without,
05:05 like I don't have any reason to believe this,
05:06 but I think that our group Evolution
05:09 will go into the Hall of Fame before I will individually.
05:13 So, and that's just a guess.
05:15 - Yeah.
05:15 - Nobody's reached out to me, but I just have a feeling.
05:16 - So maybe 2025.
05:18 - Maybe, yeah, maybe, yeah.
05:20 I'd like it to happen.
05:21 It's not that I don't want it to happen.
05:22 - Yeah.
05:23 - It just won't happen this year.
05:24 - I mean, wrestling fans, you know,
05:25 people have been clamoring for it and waiting for it
05:27 and wondering when this is gonna happen for you.
05:29 - Which is a really good feeling.
05:30 - Yeah.
05:31 - Yeah, it feels really good to know that I'm not,
05:35 for one, not disconnected from that audience
05:37 because I loved it there and I loved,
05:39 you know, it was hard, it was hard walking away.
05:41 But I had to, you know, I'm in my 50s,
05:43 I obviously am physically not able to do,
05:45 I got to go out with a kind of a fairy tale ending.
05:48 But I was always grateful and always thankful
05:51 for my time there and I never wanted people
05:53 to feel like I took that for granted.
05:55 You know, people ask me all the time, do I miss it?
05:58 And it was a hard knock life,
06:00 but what I miss is performing for the audience.
06:02 That's what I miss.
06:03 I mean, there's no adrenaline rush like that.
06:06 And so, and that comes from the fans
06:08 because if you, you can walk out the curtain,
06:10 but if there's not fans cheering,
06:11 it's not the same experience.
06:13 And so I was always grateful for that.
06:14 And that's why I did it, because I love performing.
06:17 You know?
