-Y'all are on this crazy press tour
where you're traveling to all these different places.
Mackenzie, are there any memorable moments
that have happened on the tour thus far?
-Well, we went to China recently, which was so fun
and great, and everyone was really hospitable.
And we had the premier and then this sort of, um...
Well, I'm not sure what is was,
but we were on stage for quite a while.
And at a certain point, they rolled out a drum,
and we all had to beat a drum to the beat of "Terminator,"
which I'm -- I -- [ Sighs ]
I have no rhythm.
And it's -- I'm, like, an excellent solo dancer.
I could really knock your socks off.
But as soon as somebody else just, like,
comes into my force field -- or, if I have to sing along
to an instrument, um, I just panic.
And so we all had to beat on the drum
to the tune of "Terminator," and I was the one that went last,
and it was just -- just a horror show.
-It was the best part of the show.
-It was the cutest thing ever. -Is she exaggerating, though?
Was she actually off? -No!
-She was off. -Okay.
-She was off. But the best part was,
at the end, it was a contest about, like,
staying in the "Terminator" franchise.
And at the end, she was just begging Arnold,
"Please don't take me out of the franchise!"
-Gabriel went after everybody did it.
And then Gabriel just like -- -Gabriel crushed it.
-You -- unh! [ Laughter ]
-Just no words. [ Laughter ]
-He was all over the -- -"Mortal Kombat."
-He was so good at it.
-I've seen YouTube videos of, like, Shaolin monks doing...
and doing all that stuff.
And they have these big drums, and they're just like --
Their whole body's into it, so I was like,
"Man, I'm going all the way with it."
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Speaking, Gabriel -- Speaking of -- ♪ Dun dun dun ♪
-Yes. -Let's talk about your body
real quick, okay? -Okay, okay, okay.
-Because you had quite the interesting first day on set.
Is it true that, on your first day,
they made you shoot a naked scene?
-Yes, yes, yes. -That's tough for a first day.
[ Cheers and applause ]
So, I mean yes, correct. "Whoo" is correct.
But is this kind of the introduction you had
to your castmates is you just being naked?
-Uh, well, it's -- it was the introduction to my entire crew.
It was like, "Hey, hello, guys. How are you?"
[ Laughter ] "Welcome to, uh --
Welcome to work. First day."
-That's confidence. We love that.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Here's another question I have, though.
It's, it's -- It's difficult for you,
but as castmates, were you there for this?
-No. Didn't go that day.
I was -- I was there. -We shot right before.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah. We were there and he was --
-How are you supportive castmates when someone
is literally naked on a trapeze?
What do you say to encourage a castmate?
[ Laughter ] -You look great.
-Because I can't imagine that goes like, "Good job, champ.
That's good. You look great."
Like, what do you say?
-I mean, that's pretty much what I did.
I remember, I think, walking, uh, wearing a robe.
I was just -- You know, I think I did that,
and I was like, "Dude, thank God it's pretty hot outside today."
You know? [ Laughter ]
-So, Gabriel, what I love about you is that,
in true Terminator cyborg fashion,
you went to great lengths to not blink in your scenes.
-Yeah. -Even when you're firing
a weapon, you're not blinking. -Right.
-How did you learn that? What's the trick?
-Yeah, I've -- I was trying to, you know,
just maintain, just very precise focus, obviously,
but, you know, you're firing off an automatic weapon,
and you gotta be prepared for that first round to go.
And, uh, my friend Gabby Sidibe --
Gabourey Sidibe -- once we did a film together called "Gravy."
Directed by James Roday. Thank you, James.
And, uh -- And she had to play dead with, like,
the dead-eye stare, you know?
Just her eyes are open, and she's sitting there dead.
And she just wasn't blinking.
I'm like, "What? How did -- How did you do that?"
And she's like, "I just wiggle my little toe,
and I just think about that." -Wait.
-Really?
-"Then I'm not worried about what my eyes are doing."
So, whenever you see me in the movie, and I'm just,
like, blasting off some rounds at somebody,
I'm just literally just wiggling my little toe, thinking...
[ Laughter ]
-And you know what's so interesting is literally
every person in the audience has wiggled their toe.
Literally, all of y'all were just like,
"What is he talking --"
So you're telling me that-- Can we try?
Can we do a staring contest? 'Cause I wanna wiggle my toe.
-Is that what's happening right now?
-I wanna see if this works. Okay, hold on, hold on.
You guys can provide commentary. Please, help me make him blink.
D.J. Daniel -- I'm gonna wiggle my toe.
Hold on. DJ Daniel, give me some
dramatic staring-contest music. -Drop that beat.
-Here we go. Ready?
One -- Let me get my blinks out.
[ Laughter ] Okay. Ready?
1, 2, 3.
-Oh, wow.
-That's good with the raised eyebrows.
[ Cheers ]
-You know this could go for a whole segment, right?
Are you prepared... -I'm in so much pain.
-...for your show to run four hours long?
-My mas-- Aah!
[ Cheers and applause ]
-It is a little -- -To be fair, you good.
To be fair, the whole time, I'm like,
"My mascara's not waterproof. This is gonna be real --"
That's a pro. That's a pro right there.
That hurts. That hurts. [ Cheers and applause ]
So, this is obviously a very demanding shoot for all of you.
Physically, I'm sure. Mentally, emotionally.
Was there any scene that was particularly strenuous
where you're like, "Oh, that was the toughest scene to shoot"?
-I think that week or two weeks that we were in
the South of Spain was really, really intense.
-It was gnarly. -It was 115 degrees outside.
You know, we're shooting on a highway,
so the pavement made it even hotter.
We're in a pickup truck with no A.C.
The three of the us, just like this...
-In a agricultural zone that can be seen from space.
-Full of flies. -Fly-infested.
-So, yeah. -Wow.
-Literally all the movie's CGI budget went to taking
all the little flies away from that sequence.
-From our face. -From our faces.
-I think we actually have a video from this moment.
Check it out, because it looks fun.
I mean -- -Oh, yeah!
♪♪
[ Laughter ]
-You are just over it. You are so hot.
[ Applause ]
-I'm from Canada. -You're from Canada?
What part? -Vancouver.
-Toronto. What's up? What's up?
That was a weapons-training high five, for sure,
because my hand done broke.
