>> James: THE FIGHT SCENES ARE UNCREDIBLE.
YOU ARE SORT OF SUSPENDED ON ROPES.
WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?
>> THEY'RE REALLY WIRES.
THEY'RE NOT SO MUCH ROPES ANYMORE.
( LAUGHTER ) I'M JUST SAYING, WE MOVED ON
FROM, YOU KNOW, OLD DAYS OF THE NAVY AND TURN OF THE CENTURY,
VICTORIAN TIMES.
>> James: WHEEL HIM UP!
( LAUGHTER ) >> NO, THEY'RE FULLY SUPPORTED
STEEL CABLES.
( LAUGHTER ) YES, IT'S A VARIETY OF
HARNESSES.
( LAUGHTER ) >> IT'S JUST THEY'RE NOT ROPES.
BLAME THE PRODUCER, REALLY.
>> James: IT'S STRANGE.
IT'S STRANGE.
I BARELY GAVE A ( BLEEP ) ABOU THE ANSWER BEFORE I ASKED.
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
AND NOW -- NOW IT'S -- ( LAUGHTER )
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOU, ELLEN?
( LAUGHTER ) LET'S GO BACK AND TALK ABOUT
YOUR NETFLIX SPECIAL.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT THEY ARE INCREDIBLE ON THE
WIRES.
>> THEY ARE.
THEY ARE.
>> James: THEY LOOK INCREDIBLY HARD TO FILM.
>> IT'S CRAZY.
IT IS.
I MEAN, THEY'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO A MOVIE THAT YOU CAN BUY
WITHOUT WIRE ( LAUGHTER )
>> James: NO, GO ON AND TELL ME.
I'M GENUINELY INTERESTED.
( SNORING ) >> IT'S GREAT.
UNDERWATER MOVIE, "AQUAMAN."
YEAH, ANYWAY, YES, IT WAS MANY, MANY HOURS, CRAZY HOURS AND
MONTHS OF SHOOTING, HANGING ON WIRES AND WEIRD, STRANGE
HARNESSES, SWIMMING AROUND THE ROOM ACTING LIKE YOU'RE
FLOATING.
>> James: IS THAT WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO?
>> YEAH, YOU HAVE TO FLOAT AROUND --
>> YOU WOULD BE VERY GOOD.
>> James: WOULD I?
YEAH.
>> James: YOU'RE TALKING TO A MAN WHO ONLY WANTS TO GO INTO
THE SEA UP TO MY WAIST, THAT'S REALLY WHERE I'M MOST
COMFORTABLE.
I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT IT.
I FEEL LIKE -- >> YEAH.
WHOA!
VERY BUOYANT.
>> James: YOU KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT SHOOTING UNDERWATER.
>> I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT IT.
>> James: FINDING NEMO.
FINDING DORY.
>> YEAH.
>> James: ALL SET UNDERWATER.
YEAH.
>> James: DO YOU FIND YOURSELF WHEN YOU'RE FILMING THEM --
>> YEP, YEP.
YEAH, WHENEVER I'M GOING THE VOICE, I'M ALWAYS PRETENDING
LIKE I'M -- ( LAUGHTER )
>> James: DIDN'T YOU DO AN ENTIRE SEW ONCE WHERE YOU WERE
DOING AN UNDERWATER SHOW?
>> WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA WHEN FINDING NEMO CAME OUT TO DO
MY TALK SHOW WITH, LIKE, THE WATER KEPT, LIKE, RISING,
SUPPOSED WATER.
IT WAS JUST LIKE, YOU KNOW, GRAPHICS.
BUT THEN WE REALIZED IT MADE IT LOOK LIKE WE WERE DROWNING, ALL
OF US.
( LAUGHTER ) AND WE COULDN'T STOP IT.
IT JUST KEPT HAPPENING.
AND WE WOULD SEE OURSELVES GOING ( LAUGHTER )
AND, SO, WE TRIED TO FORGET ABOUT THAT.
THANKS FOR BRINGING IT UP.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: NOW, ELLEN, YOU ARE
KNOWN FOR YOUR DEDICATION TO ANIMAL RESCUE.
>> I LOVE ANIMALS, YES.
>> James: YOU REALLY DO.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) HAVE YOU ALWAYS HAD SUCH A RICH
EMPATHY FOR ANIMALS?
HAVE YOU ALWAYS BEEN LOOKING TO RESCUE THEM SOMEHOW?
>> YES.
I DON'T LOOK FOR THEM, BUT IF THEY ARE NEEDING RESCUING, I'M
GOING TO RESCUE.
I MEAN, THERE WERE SEVERAL BIRDS EARLY IN MY CHILDHOOD THAT I
RESCUED FOR DIFFERENT REASONS.
ONE FLEW INTO A WINDOW AT A CAR DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS THERE WITH
MY DAD AND EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS DEAD AND I DID SOME LITTLE
PALPITATIONS ON IT, AND I KIND OF BLEW INTO ITS MOUTH AND --
( AUDIENCE REACTS ) I KNOW, THEY THOUGHT I WAS
CRAZY.
BUT THEN THE BIRD CAME BACK TO LIFE AND IT FLEW AWAY.
I SAVED THAT LITTLE BIRD.
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) I WAS YOUNG, I WAS, LIKE, TEN.
BUT I DO MAKE MISTAKES OCCASIONALLY.
I SAVED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS -- WELL, I WAS TRYING TO GET ONE
DOG IN THE CAR THAT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.
I HAD THE DOOR OPEN AND I WAS CALLING AND CALLING IT UNTIL
SOMEONE TOLD ME IT WAS A COYOTE.
( LAUGHTER ) SO THAT WAS -- AND THEN -- YEAH.
COME ON, COME ON!
LET ME BRING YOU HOME TO MY DOGGIES!
( LAUGHTER ) AND THEN I ALSO SAVED A DOG --
THERE WAS A DOG ON THE STREET, ON THE SIDEWALK, REALLY, BUT I
TOOK IT HOME, AND I PUT SIGNS UP, AND THEY CALLED ME A FEW
HOURS LATER AND SAID, WHERE DID YOU FIND IT?
I TOLD THEM WHERE, AND THEY SAID, THAT'S OUR HOUSE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> James: SHE'S KIDNAPPING
ANIMALS.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
