>> Stephen: HEY!
WELCOME BACK, EVERYBODY!
FOLKS, YOU KNOW MY NEXT GUEST TONIGHT AS BORMER FROM "THE LORD
OF THE RINGS" MOVIE TRILOGY AND THE HBO SHOW ABOUT THE NAKED
DRAGONS.
PLEASE WELCOME SEAN BEAN.
♪ ♪ ♪
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: I'VE NEVER MET YOU BEFORE.
I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO.
THIS IS VERY PLEASANT FOR ME.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: EVEN THOUGH WE'VE NEVER MET, I'VE ACTUALLY SEEN
YOUR FACE IN PERSON.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT CAN POSSIBLY MEAN?
>> YOU'VE SEEN ME IN A SHOP.
>> Stephen: NO, I WENT DOWN TO NEW ZEALAND, AND I SAW THE CAST
THEY MADE OF YOUR HEAD BECAUSE WHEN THEY'RE DOING THE SPECIAL
EFFECTS, THEY HAVE TO CAST EVERYONE'S HEAD.
AND YOUR-- YOUR-- >> MINE ESPECIALLY.
>> Stephen: YOURS IS VERY...
YOURS IS VERY SPECIAL.
THEY TOLD ME THAT YOU DIDN'T-- YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE EFFECT OF
HAVING YOUR FACE CAST.
>> I DIDN'T REALLY.
I-- I HAD IT DONE IN A KITCHEN IN LONDON.
SOMEONE CAME UP TO MY HOUSE, JUST COVERED ME IN THIS PLASTER
OF PARIS.
>> Stephen: IT'S A VERY CLAUSTROPHOBIC FEELING.
YOU HAVE LITTLE STRAWS UP YOUR NOSE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> YEAH.
LIKE SCUBA DIVING, ISN'T IT, WHEN YOU'VE GOT TO BREATHE
THROUGH YOUR MOUTH-- OR YOUR NOSE, IS IT?
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH.
THROUGH YOUR MOUTH FOR SCUBA DIVING.
>> I FOUND IT QUITE SOOTHING, AFTER THAT, AFTER THE INITIAL
SHOCK.
>> Stephen: AFTER THE FIRST TIME.
>> I FELL ASLEEP.
>> Stephen: BECAUSE YOUR-- BECAUSE YOUR MASK DOESN'T LOOK
SOOTHING AT ALL.
YOU LOOK UPSET.
I HAD THEM SEND ME THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE DIFFERENT
MASKS THEY MADE.
FOR INSTANCE, HERE'S ELIJAH WOOD.
HERE'S I HAD MASK, VERY CALM, VERY QUIET.
HERE'S ORLANDO BLOOM, VERY CALM, VERY QUIET.
AND HERE'S YOU, NOT REALLY THRILLED ABOUT IT.
( LAUGHTER ) YOU WERE LIKE WAITING FOR IT TO
BE OVER.
WAITING FOR IT TO BE OVER.
IT'S GOT A LIGHT "BURIED ALIVE" QUALITY TO IT.
ANYWAY, EXWAIP.
>> NOW I KNOW WHAT I LOOK LIKE BALD.
>> Stephen: YOU GREW UP IN SHEFFIELD, RIGHT?
>> YES, SHEFFIELD.
>> Stephen: AND YORKSHIRE, THAT'S A VERY SPECIFIC ACCENT.
I HEAR YOU TALK, IS THAT A YORKSHIRE ACCENT?
>> KIND OF.
I'VE TONED IT DOWN A FEW.
NOT A FEW-- A-- SOMETIMES IT IS REALLY BROAD PUP PROBABLY
WOULDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT.
>> Stephen: WOULD YOU BE-- WOULD YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE
TURNING ON A LITTLE BIT MORE YORKSHIRE FOR ME RIGHT NOW?
>> I'D FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH THAT, YEAH.
>> Stephen: TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DAY IN SORT OF A YORKSHIRE
ACCENT.
>> I'VE OF I GOT UP ABOUT 8:00, AND THEN WENT TO THE STUDIO, AND
DID A FEW RADIO INTERVIEWS AND ON THE TELLY.
THEY WERE GREAT.
HAD A GREAT TIME.
REALLY CHAMPION.
>> Stephen: YEAH, YEAH.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> YOU KNEW-- YOU KNEW WHAT I
WAS SAYING DIDN'T YOU.
>> Stephen: I DID NOT CATCH A LOT OF THAT, THOUGH.
THE NEW SERIES ON CRACKLE.
IT'S CALLED "THE OATH."
WHAT'S IT ABOUT?
>> IT'S ABOUT A POLICEMAN, ABOUT CORRUPTION IN THE POLICE FORCE.
IT'S NOT SET IN ANY PARTICULAR AREA.
IT COULD BE ANYWHERE IN AMERICA.
AND -- >> Stephen: DO YOU HAVE AN
AMERICAN ACCENT IN IT?
>> NO, GUESS WHAT I HAVE?
>> Stephen: WHAT?
>> A YORKSHIRE ACCENT.
( LAUGHTER ) GLI BET THAT WAS IN THE
CONTRACT.
>> IT WAS IN THE END.
BUT JUST ABOUT PEOPLE BEING CRUMENTED.
I MEAN, THEY BECOME CRIMINALS, YOU KNOW, WITHIN THEIR OWN CEEND
OF FRATERNITY, THEIR OWN BROTHERHOOD.
AND IT'S ALL IN THE FAMILY.
THEY BRING THEIR BROTHERS IN, THEIR SONS, ALL GROW INTO IT,
AND THEY DEAL DRUGS JUST LIKE GANGSTERS, I SUPPOSE, LIKE
CRIMINALS.
AND THEY ACTUALLY RUN THE GANGSTERS.
IT'S SOMETHING WRITTEN BY JOEL HALPERRIN, AND HE WAS A SHERIFF
IN THE L.A.P.D., FOR MANY YEARS, AS AN UNDERCOVER, AND HE
ACTUALLY DID THIS STUFF.
HE BECAME A CRIMINAL.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND THAT 50 CENT IS THE PRODUCER OF THIS.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE GUYS HUNG OUT A LOT?
>> YEAH, I MET HIM-- NOT A LOT.
BUT THE FIRST TIME I MET HIM WAS IN SAN JUAN, IN PUERTO RICO.
>> Stephen: THAT'S WHERE YOU WERE SHOOTING.
>> YEAH, YEAH.
>> Stephen: DID YOU HAVE ANY HURRICANE PROBLEMS DOWN THERE.
>> YEAH.
I HAD LEFT BY THEN.
MY SCENES HAD FINISHED AND I WENT HOME AND I WAS WATCHING IT
ON TELEVISION AND IT WAS QUITE SHOCKING, YOU KNOW, TO THINK WE
WERE THERE.
THEY HAD TO STOP BUT THEY WENT BACK AGAIN AND FINISHED IT OFF
THERE.
AND I THINK THEY WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING THERE.
WHICH IS GOOD FOR THE-- FOR THE ISLAND.
>> Stephen: FOR SURE.
>> FOR THE RESIDENTS.
>> Stephen: I'M SORRY, I INTERRUPTED YOU.
YOU'RE DOWN IN PUERTO RICO WITH 50 CENT.
>> YEAH, JUST HANGING AROUND.
( LAUGHTER ) JUST HANGIN'.
AND HE WAS ON THE SET.
HE WANTS TO COME DOWN AND SEE HOW IT WAS GOING.
AND HE'S A GREAT GUY, LOVELY TO MEET HIM.
AND HE'S VERY-- VERY JOVIAL, REAL GENTLEMAN.
>> Stephen: WE HAD HIM HERE.
A LOT OF FUN.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE 50 CENT SONG?
>> "IN DA CLUB."
>> Stephen: THERE IT IS.
THERE IT IS.
( APPLAUSE ) WELL, SEAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE.
LOVELY IT MEET YOU.
>> NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> Stephen: "THE OATH" IS STREAMING ON CRACKLE.
SEAN BEAN, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
