[MUSIC PLAYING]
That was good.
Yeah, that was a good wow finish, right?
Wow.
And maybe you can--
I might steal that.
Yeah, you can, you can as long as you call it "the wiggle."
I need it.
I needed something like that for the Golden Globes.
Did you, really?
Yeah, yeah, a little finale so that they didn't
start the music that early.
You needed nothing.
You needed nothing at all.
First of all, I was talking about you the other day
on the show because I said how you're
ready for all the cameras.
You look good in every single shot.
And I called you "Ther-own."
Yes.
That's not your name.
No.
It's "Ther-un."
Theron, yeah.
But I've heard "Ther-on," "Ther-own."
I know.
Theron.
That's not-- the way it's pronounced
in South Africa is "Thrown."
Excuse me?
Yes.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
So when I came here, everybody was
like, nobody's going to be able to say that hard R.
So we should change it and make it easy.
And apparently I didn't make it easy.
I just thought Theron would be--
It is easy.
You know, Theron.
It's like "heron."
I have a heron that's eating my fish.
So now I know.
Theron.
Theron, like heron.
But for some reason, people just want to make it really fancy,
you know?
Yeah.
I did.
"Ther-own."
Yeah, you seem like it would be fancier, "Ther-own."
But Theron is just fine, too.
Now everybody's going to know your name, I'll tell you that.
OK, good.
I didn't see you at the Golden Globes.
You were there, obviously.
But we didn't--
No, we didn't, no.
But now, what happened with--
Jack Nicholson presented you with the award?
Well how great is that first of all, to get your--
not only to win, but to get the award from Jack,
so that was pretty cool.
And then I was extremely nervous going to the show.
And then I just went into this zone of like,
it doesn't matter.
And then I started drinking and having a great time.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
And then when they said my name, then all of a sudden,
I got really nervous again.
And I was kind of floating to the stage,
and I couldn't stop it.
It was just happening.
And then as I got up, Jack gave me the award and hugged me.
And he just kind of whispered to me, are you nice and relaxed?
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
And I just thought, that, I will go to my grave with that.
I will always remember that.
Really great.
It sounds like--
I don't know what that meant exactly.
You know what?
It sounded kind of sexy.
A little bit, but that's the thing with Jack, right?
Yeah.
But I don't even think he knows he
was because I kept going, Jack, how can you even say that
to me?
And he was like, what?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, that must have been surreal to be up there, though.
Very, very, very surreal.
But I'm looking at you right now.
I'm just staring at you because you were so--
the movie, if you have not seen the movie,
there is not one bit of you there.
You completely-- your performance is so stunning.
You are so amazing.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
Because acting is you're playing a character,
and you can always see something right, right there.
I didn't recognize you in Nemo.
Yeah.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
Thank you, thank you.
Yeah!
By the way, my favorite movie of the year.
Well, thank you.
Well, we had a lot more money, so I
went through hours of makeup to become that fish.
You didn't have the money.
It was a very low budget movie.
And so how you ended up looking like that
and how you completely--
I was fascinated by it.
I was just fascinated by the entire story.
Because it's just sad, these two lost souls that
just spiraled out of control.
Yeah, yeah, Yeah.
I love the story and the fact that it happened to--
and it happens every day.
There are so many people out there
who live these desperate lives.
And Aileen Wuornos was not a solitary case,
but everything about her physically
was just really the life that she had led.
And so we didn't have the money, and I just
decided to gain some weight, which was easy and fun.
And then we had--
I haven't gotten a movie for it, but--
And we--
Wait, they just showed a picture,
I'm sorry, while we were talking.
That's-- yeah.
And that's actually you looking your best in the film.
That's actually not a bad.
We did some fake teeth, and the contacts
weren't in that, some dark contacts.
And we had an incredible makeup artist, Tony G,
who just layered and textured my skin
to get that kind of Florida leather look.
Yeah.
Yeah, I would imagine--
I forgot that she actually was executed.
I was wondering if you talked to her,
and then I realized that she is not
around to be able to talk to you.
But that would be a pretty amazing thing
that to hear that you were playing her.
Like, really?
Charlize is going to play me?
I saw photographs of her when she was younger,
and she was actually very beautiful.
And I think that lifestyle just really just destroyed her.
But no, I didn't.
I unfortunately didn't get to meet her.
And did you talk to the other-- the girl at all,
or is there a contact at all?
She's kind of separated herself completely,
and she has a family and is kind of trying
to move on with her life.
So we wanted to respect that.
All right, well, we'll talk more.
We both are huge animal lovers, and I
know you have a great story about a dog
that I want to talk to you about.
OK.
So we'll be back with more Sherese--
Charlize Theron after this.
We're back.
We're back with Charlize "Thron" and I am Ellen "Genrs."
Why is it "Thrn" in South Africa?
It's just faster?
It's "Thrown."
"Thrown."
I see.
Yes.
It's just the funny language we speak down there.
I haven't been there, and I would love to go there someday.
Oh, yes.
I'll give you a couple of lines you can get by on.
OK, good.
OK.
I will say I know Charlize "Thrown."
Please, walk this way.
So we both thought-- you love dogs as much as I do.
How many do you have?
I love animals, just anything.
I have four right now.
You have cats and stuff, or no?
I would love to have cats, but I live in the hills,
and we have coyotes.
And that would kill me.
I don't like cats just being inside.
I think they should be able to be outside as well.
I have created such an outdoor space for my cats,
they have no idea that they're not outside.
Really?
Yes.
Like a little biodome?
Yeah, exactly.
Biodome?
They have no idea.
They think that's outside.
Oh, that's so great.
Outside would be disappointing for them once they're--
they're actually very--
I'm thinking of getting some chickens, though.
Well, coyotes will get chickens.
No, but they--
Tony, chickens.
Tony's scared of chickens.
I'm sorry, go ahead.
No, but the coyotes can't get into my property,
but a cat could get out.
But a chicken's not going to get out of my property.
No, I would like to get chickens as well.
I would because they say once you have a freshly laid
egg that you'll never eat eggs ever again because there's
a difference between freshly laid eggs.
It's when you give them all the-- yeah,
we had them on the farm, too.
The yolk is really orange.
Oh, you grew up on a farm, right.
Yeah.
And you had goats and stuff?
We had everything, everything you can imagine.
But yeah, I had--
everything that didn't have a home, my mom
would just kind of drag home.
So I had a lot of pet everythings.
That's what I want to have.
I have the same thing.
I capture everything.
And by capture, I mean I literally
have taken a dog that was on someone's lawn,
thinking it was lost.
I actually thought it was lost.
I took it to the vets.
I got shots, I put signs up.
The person calls, and I brought it right back
to where I got it from.
It was a horrible thing.
You guys, between all of you sitting here,
you have made over $4 billion at the box office.
That is a lot of power right here.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
I did that math this morning.
Good.
Thank you.
I did the math for you this morning,
so you should ask for more money.
All right.
Especially if you all go as a package.
Yeah, exactly.
It was a great cast.
I mean, what a great movie.
I'll talk about that later because I
want to talk about other things first.
But the movie is fantastic.
It's incredible, and you're unrecognizable as Megyn Kelly.
It's crazy.
I kept looking for what they did to you.
I was like, yeah, really?
So what happened here?
I wanted to ask that.
Oh.
I was doing a film in London, and I injured--
I tore the ligament off the bone of my thumb.
And then came back and checked it out,
and I ended up with three surgeries on my arm.
How did you do that, by the way?
I was fighting a very big guy.
And he had an armored vest on, and my thumb
got stuck inside his vest.
And he decided to make a sharp move,
and my whole thumb just went back.
And did you know that at the time that you did that?
I fell to my knees and cried like a girl.
And then you also injured your vocal cords doing--
Oh, my god, are we going through this whole medical?
I know that it's injured.
I mean, are you a liability, like she is on a set?
Because it seems like she shouldn't be hired anymore.
We have a matching injury.
We have a--
Matching scar, don't you?
We both had a fusion done in our necks
by the same doctor, same disk.
Yeah.
Suddenly we've turned into Dr. Oz here.
I don't know why.
All right, first of all, have you all
known each other before you got involved in this movie?
Yes.
How did you all meet?
Nicole and I met--
I have very vivid memories of meeting
Nicole for the first time because I
was just so awestruck.
I was at an MTV Movie Awards ceremony,
and they asked me to present.
And I was just on the red carpet taking photos,
and out of the peripheral of my I saw Nicole Kidman
and had a small seizure.
I remember touching that velvet jacket,
and I was like, even her jacket is so soft.
A total stalker.
And then, when did you meet Margot?
We passed each other at a photo shoot.
Yeah, I met you first--
Just kind of like--
In passing.
And then--
I had a horrible fear.
I had to shoot somewhat naked, and I had this horrible fear
that you saw that.
And so I couldn't make eye contact with you.
No, I didn't see.
OK.
I didn't see.
I just wanted to clear that up.
I'm glad we're nodding it out now.
All right, fantastic.
What were you shooting naked?
Like, a photo shoot?
Yeah, it was for W. We were all doing a thing for W.
And none of the clothes fit me.
So you just-- that's how those nude things happen.
We always think it's planned, but it's
just the clothes didn't fit.
She was clothed when I met her, but it was shortly
after that moment.
The audience saw it and loved it.
They loved the movie.
You saw it last night, right?
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
That's awesome.
Yeah, it's really, really good.
And this was kind of your project, right?
How did you get involved with this?
It was a script that was sent to my company
to possibly produce and maybe for me to work on as an actor.
And everybody at my company knew that this
was an incredible gift because Charles Randolph wrote
an incredibly powerful script.
He's the Academy Award winner of The Big Short.
So we knew that we had something very special.
And you knew you wanted these two
ladies to be in it with you?
This was like, literally, a dream
come true for me, right here.
It's amazing.
It's an amazing cast.
The whole cast, yeah, the whole cast are just--
it's just an amazing group of people.
But we've been talking today, and we've kind of
had this conversation quite a bit
of how rare it is where you get to work
with so many women, where you get to have an experience where
you get to work with people who you so admire.
And to not just see them on a red carpet,
but to have a working experience with them.
The fact that, like you're saying, to have women,
to have so many women on a set, it needs to happen as well.
Yeah, I think that's the--
Exactly.
Back with Charlize, Nicole, and Margot.
And so the other day, you recently
said you were shockingly single.
So shockingly single means you don't want--
I'm shocked myself.
I'm sure you're shocked.
We're all shocked that you're single.
So shockingly single is appropriate for you to say.
So Nicole and Margot and I, we're going to help you.
We're going to show two men, and it's a game.
It's called Who Would Charlize Rather?
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, don't feel sorry for her.
We're going to find her somebody today.
All right, we're going to show two men--
I'm shocked.
I thought I was in a relationship with both of you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, she's not single.
No, they're married.
They're married, so they can't help you.
All right, so we're going to show two men.
And we're going to decide--
y'all probably know her a little better than I do because I
really haven't hung out with her.
But I like to think that we're best friends.
So let's show two men, and let's see who.
We'll narrow it down.
Drake or The Weeknd?
I'm going to say Drake is probably
more her type than The Weeknd.
But am I the Drake's type?
I might be a little too old for him.
No, no, no, no.
I think able.
All right, we'll go--
I'll side with Margot, and I'll go, yeah.
He's really nice.
I think he's nice, too.
All right, we'll say able.
All right, let's give it to Drake.
Are they single?
We don't know.
Milo, or The Weeknd?
Oh!
Oh, the audience is getting in on the action.
I love it.
Do you know Milo?
I know Milo, I know Milo.
I know Milo also.
Absolutely lovely.
Compatible for Charlize?
I think he's sweet.
I don't know if he's single.
I know that he's--
I don't think he's single.
Guys, we should probably start with single men.
That would be a good place to start.
Don't you guys think?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What do we think?
Are we going to go to Milo now?
Sure.
All right, the audience seems--
Milo or?
Oh, he's my brother.
This is going to get awkward.
Oh.
Do you know him that well?
Yeah, he's like-- he literally is my brother.
OK, let's then Trevor, and let's get rid of Milo.
All right.
This is fun.
Isn't it fun?
Yeah.
OK.
You're good at this game.
I love Trevor.
Trevor or Jake?
Oh.
Do you know Jake?
Yeah.
I know Jake, yeah.
But he's not your brother?
You don't-- like, you don't know him as well as--
I don't know him that well.
OK, then let's get rid of Trevor.
Oh!
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
Yes.
Oh, yeah, OK.
I adore him.
He's amazing.
I love him.
Could be good.
Yes.
Stay on him.
Yes.
All right, Michael B. Jordan, I think
we're not going to be able to top Michael.
Yes.
I don't think you can top--
oh.
Oh, Harry Styles.
Guys, I could be his mother.
Right.
[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]
I literally could be his mother.
I bet you he likes older women.
I bet he likes older women.
He's very mature.
This is so incredibly--
Do you know how long he's been messing--
he's probably ready for--
I'm actually thinking that is a really good match.
Yeah.
You're out of your mind, Nicole.
All right, I think stick with Michael.
All right, stick with Michael.
My god.
Michael or Lenny Kravitz?
Oh, Lenny Kravitz is so cool, too.
Do you know Lenny?
I know Lenny a little bit, yes.
Have you ever dated him?
No, I've never dated Lenny.
He's very single.
OK.
This is awkward.
Did you date him?
Move on.
Yes.
You dated him?
Yes.
Just move on.
This is so--
I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
I shouldn't have put you--
You're dead.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sitting in this position.
OK, I'm sorry.
All right, I love Lenny.
I'd so recommend him.
We've moved on.
All right.
We don't care any more.
He's lovely.
All right.
We're on to Brad Pitt.
We lost him.
He's gone.
Yes.
They took him away.
I did not date Brad.
All.
Right.
No.
But I apparently did.
I had an entire relationship that I didn't even know about.
You sat with him at--
We did it-- yeah, exactly, yeah.
But I think we're going to stick with Michael B. Jordan.
Yeah?
What happened to, what happened to Harry Styles?
Michael, come on.
[AUDIENCE CHEERS]
That'd be awesome.
Your face.
Can you imagine?
Oh, my god.
Your face.
Imagine if all of them were lined up
at the back, just waiting.
Isn't there a TV show that does that?
The rest just turn around and leave.
Good Lord.
