-So, let's dive right in.
Huge fan. You're so talented.
Everything you do is amazing.
You're incredible in everything you do.
But I've learned that you have quite an interesting strategy
when you're creating your characters before you shoot.
Can you explain? -Yes. I sometimes have this
strategy where I think of three kind of iconic
or interesting characters melded into one.
And I actually got this -- Somebody told me Johnny Depp
did this for his role in "Pirates of the Caribbean,"
and his three were Keith Richards,
a teenage girl, and Pepé Le Pew.
[ Laughter ]
And so for me, for "Hustlers" I did this.
And so mine was Scotty,
Philip Seymour Hoffman's character in "Boogie Nights"...
-Mm-hmm. -...Tom Cruise's character
in "Magnolia," when he's doing an interview,
and my second oldest sister. [ Laughter ]
-Ooh! -I hope she's not watching this.
-Wait, hold on. -It's not the stripping stuff.
-Why your second oldest sister?
-Just the way she is in social situations, in large groups.
-But not the stripping stuff. -Well...
[ Laughter ]
I just did that for the humor. She didn't strip.
-Speaking of "Hustlers," we have to give it up
for the success of "Hustlers."
[ Cheers and applause ] Such amazing success.
So, what was your favorite part of making that movie?
-Probably just being with all women.
-Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
So, I have a picture of you from shooting.
Here you are with Cardi B.
And I gotta ask, did she teach you anything while on set?
Because there's lots Cardi could probably teach.
-Well, she has the experience, the real-life experience.
She taught me a little bit of lap dancing.
-Ooh! Obviously there's a scene in the movie, as well.
-Yes. -And so do you feel like
you're a lap-dance pro now?
Do you feel like you could teach anyone how to lap dance?
-I wouldn't say pro, but I sure would like to teach someone.
-Ooh! [ Cheers and applause ]
Hold on, hold on, hold on! Here's the thing --
[ Cheers and applause ]
Here's the thing.
I'm gonna be real with you, Constance.
-Be real. Don't be fake.
-Me? I'm lonely.
[ Laughter ]
-We all are. -Okay, I'm thirsty.
-Okay. -Okay?
I'll be out here on these dating apps,
scared of getting murdered all the time.
Do you think you could teach an audience member
how to lap dance so I could get a lap dance?
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
-Do you think you could do that? All right, hold up.
I want to just make sure it's consensual.
Is anybody here down to learn how to give me a lap dance?
Raise your hand if you're down. [ Cheers and applause ]
Oh, we got a few people. Okay.
-Wow. -You, you, come here, come here!
Can we get a chair?
[ Cheers and applause ]
Hold on.
Okay, hold on, hold on. We got props here.
Here you go. This is for you.
What's your name? What's your name?
-Rico. -Rico, thank you so much
for being so brave and confident.
Rico, this is yours. [ Cheers and applause ]
-So... -This is exciting.
-I only want you to do what you feel comfortable doing.
-Okay? -Okay.
-I consent you being all up on me.
[ Laughter ]
Do you give me consent to sit there?
-I give you consent. -Okay, great.
You got to direct him.
-Do you give me consent to direct you?
-I give you consent to direct me.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-So, is this ideal positioning for the chair, first of all?
-It doesn't matter. -Okay.
-You gotta work with what you got.
-I'm gonna stay right here. I got a little --
-Work with what you got.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Something, something here.
We're right here. Direct.
I'm just a professional at work. Direct.
[ Laughter ]
-What was your name again? -Rico.
-Rico. Okay, Rico. Hopefully, you're wearing
some nice perfume or cologne.
And what I like to do first is get your cheek right up
next to her so she could smell you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Put your hands on her shoulders.
Now, let her smell you again.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ] Okay?
Turn around. -Smells like a man!
[ Laughter ] -Okay, now feel yourself.
Yeah! [ Cheers and applause ]
Okay, now, this next part is very important, okay?
No, you gotta -- Stay that way.
-All right. -Now, sit down.
Sit on -- Sit on the lap.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-I'm Santa!
-Now, we're just pretending here.
So, now you gotta find it.
[ Laughter ]
You can't find it. You got to make it.
And then, once you find it, you just grind it.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And that's how you do a lap dance.
-Okay! Rico, do you want to give this a try?
-Let's try it. -Should we give it a shot?
Okay. Rico -- lap-dance me.
[ Cheers and applause ] Oh!
Okay, okay! [ Cheers ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
Whoo!
What's up?! What's up?!
-Wow!
[ Cheers and applause continues ]
Rico! Rico! Rico!
-Rico! Rico! Rico! Rico!
-That was incredible! Thank you so much.
Give it up for Rico.
-If you're looking for a job, I know people.
-You know what? Just let me know.
-Give it up for Rico. I'm just --
Thank you so much, baby. -No problem, thank you.
-Can we get this chair and stuff cleared?
Oh, my goodness.
I hope we're going to a commercial,
but I know we're not. [ Laughter ]
But I know we're not.
-How do you feel?
-I feel alive! [ Cheers and applause ]
I feel --
I feel alive and dead at the same time.
[ Laughter ]
Not too hard. Everything's sensitive.
