>> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE BACK WITH THE STAR OF
"GEMINI MAN."
>> YES!
>> Stephen: MR. WILL SMITH.
>> BOTH STARS.
BOTH STARS OF "GEM ME."
>> Stephen: BOTH STARS.
>> BOTH STARS OF "GEMINI MAN" GLI CAN'T CONVEY TO THOSE AT
HOME HOW MUCH YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE ON THE STREET IN THAT
SCENE.
>> YEAH, ANG LEE HE DID A REALLY BRILLIANT JOB OF HOW HE'S USING
THE TECHNOLOGY, HOW EASE USING THE 3D.
WHEN WE WERE GROWING UP-- YOU WERE GROWING UP A LITTLE BIT
BEFORE I WAS GROWING UP.
( LAUGHTER )
INTERESTING.
>> NO, BUT -- >> Stephen: INTERESTING.
I'M AFRAID THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TIME FOR, WILL.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> NO -- >> Stephen: IT IS DIFFERENT.
IT'S NOT LIKE THE RED-GREEN SITUATION.
>> IT'S NOT LIKE WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO THROW THINGS AT YOU
AND THINGS.
ANG WAS REALLY-- HE JUST WANTED TO SUBMERGE YOU INTO THE WORLD.
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
>> RIGHT?
SO THERE'S NOT A LOT OF MOVEMENT WITH IT.
YOU SIT AND YOU FEEL -- >> Stephen: I'M NOT LYING WHEN
I SAY IT IS SO CLEAR AND SO REAL WHEN YOU'RE WATCHING IT, THAT IT
FEELS LIKE-- LIKE, WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU RIGHT NOW, IT'S A
VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE.
I'M, LIKE, SITTING HERE GOING, "HOW DID THEY MAKE WILL SMITH
LOOK SO OLD?" THIS IS A-- THIS IS ALL DIGITAL.
( APPLAUSE )
HOW-- MY UNDERSTANDING IS-- TELL ME IF I'M WRONG-- THEY'RE
ACTUALLY TAKING SOME OF YOUR PERFORMANCES OR YOUR FACE FROM
WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER IN DIFFERENT MOVIES.
I SWEAR THERE'S A MOMENT IN THIS WHEN I GO, "I THINK THAT'S FROM
"SIX DEGREES OF OPERATION."
>> WHAT ANG LEE DID THAT WAS REALLY GREAT, HE TOOK "SIX
DEGREES OF SEPARATION."
WE LOOKED AT "BAD BOYS," "INDEPENDENCE DAY," "FRESH
PRINCE," AND "MEN IN THE BLACK," AND HE LOOKED AT THAT PERIOD AND
OUR FIRST MEETING I WALK IN AND HE HAS THIS FULL WILL ROOM.
>> Stephen: IT'S YOU ON EVERY SCREEN?
>> IT'S ME ON ALL THE SCREENS.
AND I'M LIKE, YO, THIS DUDE IS A REAL FAN, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: THAT'S LIKE YOU WALK INTO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND
SEEING A BUNCH OF X-RAYS, AND GOING, "THIS GUY IS REALLY INTO
ME."
( LAUGHTER )
"SIX DEGREES," AND HE'S LOOKING AND HE'S SITTING REALLY CLOSE TO
THE SCREEN AND HE'S LIKE, "I NOTICE HOW YOUR FACE-- NOTICE
HOW YOUR CHEEKS, HOW FIRM AND CONFIDENT YOU ARE, AND THEN
THERE'S A LITTLE WIGGLE."
AND HE'S SITTING AND LOOKING AND POINTING.
AND "FRESH PRINCE" COME UP AND HE'S LOOKING AT ME CHARACTER, "I
DON'T WANT ANY OF THAT IN MY MOVIE."
( LAUGHTER )
BUT TO GO BACK AND LOOK AT ALL OF THAT STUFF WAS REALLY-- IT
WAS -- >> Stephen: LOOKING AT YOUNG--
YOUNG YOU IN THIS AND LOOKING AT YOUNG YOU ON ALL THOSE SCREENS,
DO YOU THINK, WILL SMITH, THAT YOU COULD TAKE YOUNGER YOU IN A
FIGHT?
>> I WOULD WHOOP MY YOUNG ASS.
NO, NO.
NO, LISTEN, NO.
I WOULD SERIOUSLY-- SERIOUSLY.
BECAUSE THERE'S A-- LIKE, THIS IS MAN MEAT THAT I HAVE NOW.
YOU KNOW, THIS IS, LIKE-- THAT'S LIKE OLD MAN STRONG, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: DAMN!
THAT'S STARTING TO CALCIFY.
( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: IT'S HARD.
>> WHEN YOU GET OLDER AND YOU'RE FIGHTING A YOUNG PERSON, YOU
KNOW YOU'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN FIGHT DIRTY.
>> YEAH.
LIKE, AT THIS AGE, I JUST FEEL LIKE I WOULD REALLY-- I WOULD
TAKE IT TO MY YOUNG SELF GLI WOULD IMAGINE IF I WAS FIGHTING
MY YOUNGER SELF-- AND I WOULD NEVER FIGHT ME IN EITHER AGE--
BUT BOTH OF US WOULD LOSE, I THINK, IF I FOUGHT MYSELF.
BUT I WOULD DEFINITELY THROW THE FIRST PUNCH.
>> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WERE IN, LIKE, A GOOD FIGHT.
>> Stephen: I THINK I WAS IN SIXTH GRADE.
>> SIXTH GRADE.
>> Stephen: THAT WAS THE LAST TIME.
AND I THINK I WAS JUST A PUNCHING BAG.
>> OH!
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHY I'M A COMEDIAN, WILL.
>> Stephen: UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER BREAK.
BUT WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH YET MORE MR. WILL SMITH, EVERYBODY.
