Wow welcome into the show thank you so
much for having me um are you kidding
it's always a pleasure and your new
movie we have to just jump straight into
that I was really impressed Wow thank
you it caused two reasons one because
it's a really funny movie but two
because you said you would never be in a
romka you know a rom-com kind of person
no I mean there needs to be like a death
toll for me to even like that's like the
front page yeah how many people died I'm
in yes exactly that's usually like my
bar but no I listen I've always I like
the genre right I think there is they're
very hard to make especially if you want
to keep your promise of making something
really funny and really romantic nice I
I think we delivered on both know can I
tell you you have because this movie's
got an 86% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
which isn't everything but it's hard to
achieve that number no especially with
the fishing with a rom-com because I'm
not like rom-coms it seems like an easy
formula but you got to be funny you got
to have a little bit of hearts and this
movie does just that it's a very
familiar story though you play a
secretary of states who is running to be
the first woman president of the United
States very familiar story yeah I think
that happened in Sudan and in the movie
well it's a really fun story because you
play alongside Seth Rogen and you guys
are basically like this duo that's but
trying to make this thing happen what's
it like playing opposite him is is he is
he as funny behind the scenes as he
seems on camera he yes he is really one
of the most he's the probably the
funniest person right side of June Diane
Raphael who's in this movie too right
she's one of the funniest people I've
heard she's amazing
yeah they they're both of them have this
natural ability to just not aggressively
be on but just naturally funny yeah at
all times I also want to know who Seth
Rogen's agent is like how does he always
get movies where he's getting with a
gorgeous woman I need to figure that out
for my life
I can help you if you want yeah that's
like that seems like a skill that heat
is so so so let me ask you this you
you've done a rom-com now we've seen you
in action we've seen you in drama
musical Shakespeare no musical Oh should
I do is enough no that's never gonna
happen
why not no that's because I I cannot
sing you find a way you know you know
what you know you're the kind of person
who learns and knows everything do you
know you know did you know how to fight
before you did atomic blonde no but I
feel like you can learn that there's a
natural like I don't have pitch yes but
I do like that you like it's harder to
learn how to fight because if you make a
mistake in a song your nose doesn't
bleed well like it's easier to learn you
have me say and my limbs just right no
that is how bad I am and really dreadful
imma dress
you know who ruined it I think before
like 20 years ago you could still limp
lip sing yes but Hugh Jackman just
destroyed that for is an amazing singer
yeah I really know that's the bar no I
think you can learn I think you're one
of those people a lot of people don't
know about Charlize is that like you're
one of those obsessive people yeah see
something and then once you start doing
it you go I am going to be the best app
it's like you still do martial arts now
yeah well I'm about I'm two weeks out of
shooting an action movie in London so
I've been training for the last like
three months right right
you wake up at what time well I wake up
every morning around 5:00 to get my kids
ready for school yeah I take them to
school and right I go and train for 3-4
hours and that's just you learning how
to fight again yeah and you don't think
you could learn how to sing
you should combine them you should
combine them and do both at the same
time no because your voice isn't like
Bruce Lee was doing that as a whoa like
you could do that
you could be fighting while singing you
know what I mean you know what I've been
thinking this whole time like a certain
style of singing but that's a style of
singing I can do kungfu musical charlize
theron are you kidding me I'm producing
we're making these people so you're in
the world of rom-coms you've got an
exciting movie coming out that's about
Fox News and you're playing megan kelly
which everybody really wants to see but
while you're doing all of this you're
raising a family as you said right you
you like you do it in the way you like
wake up to make lunch for your kids and
then you want to take them to school and
then you have barbecues with them on the
week you you you realize that's not a
normal thing for many super wealthy
people like waking up and making lunch
for their kids why do you do that what
do you mean a lot of rich people are
just like yeah the kids need food and
then they'll be like Mariah but gives me
food this is a true thing and you wake
up at 5 a.m.
let me tell you something now when I
have all the money that I want I'm not
waking up or my kids will be like
daddy I'm hungry I'll be like that's why
you got a chef I'm not waking up why do
you wake up you know because you want to
kids like kids are get ready for it kids
will destroy you like most beautiful
yeah they will destroy you in the most
beautiful I'm in the other way too right
get ready for that too like that's a
fact
but they I I love it I love it I am I
love waking up and having those two
hours as my kids yes making them lunches
that they probably throw away at school
and have absolutely no appreciation for
you know what you should do if they
throw away the lunch is a little trick
that I've thought of is you should put a
little bit of money in the lunches on
certain days but don't tell them well
and then if you go like how was your
lunch and they don't say then you'll be
like oh I put $100 in there you didn't
find it and then every other day they're
just gonna eat the lunch looking for the
money I mean I don't think I would like
to be a dad I'd like to be a consultant
of parents
yeah that would be fun I just tell you
what to do with them
kids are fun when they're not yours you
just get to borrow them have a good time
give them back I just ever wanted a baby
why did you do that uncle Trevor told me
to do that yeah before I let you go I
have to talk about all of the stuff that
you doing in the world with the charlize
theron Africa outreach project many
people don't know this about you and I
was lucky enough to travel with you to
South Africa yes an amazing partner I
honestly was inspired to start my
foundation because of the work you were
doing I saw you going back home to South
Africa I saw you working and like
changing people's lives on the ground
and now you found a fun way to do it fun
for people to donate to charity horrible
for you because because if you want to
sing karaoke with Charlize you can now
and we just talked about singing and I
didn't even think about that so you're
gonna be doing karaoke with people if
they join in it's for the Charlize that
on Africa outreach project and it's also
for the National Domestic Workers
Alliance
what is what is that program so that's
June so I'm doing it with June Diane
Raphael who's in the film she plays my
chief of staff and yeah element she's
absolutely brilliant we became really
good friends and so I asked her to do
this with me so that I could have
somebody just to like just ease the pain
a little bit because it's gonna be so
brutal yes and it's for both of our
charities and yeah we listen it's gonna
be fun I mean either way I don't know
how it's gonna turn out but it's gonna
be fun and it's for a good cause so
please go on omae's comm slash longshot
and come watch me torture myself but but
but but just so people understand what's
happening they get to go out with you
they get to go out and party with you
we're gonna drink and you and you you do
karaoke we're gonna go to a karaoke bar
and we're going play we're going to play
a shot game oh wow yes no way drunk with
Charlize Theron he's kidding me yeah we
set up the rules already it's really fun
and I mean that's the only way to do it
there's no other way to for me to go and
do this show but karaokes very depressed
it was between yes it's getting really
drunk or having a small lobotomy
those were my teacher
I thought yeah the first one was better
right and let me ask you this have you
considered that maybe this could be the
beginning of a real-life romantic comedy
what if someone who wins really sweeps
you off your feet on this like karaoke
dates and then cuz I read in the news
and then everyone texted me about it
they were like Charlize Theron I cannot
no one wants to ask me out and everyone
was like Trevor you know her text her
for me and you didn't text me well what
am I gonna text you what am I gonna say
yo yo my friend John says hi listen you
you would be the years but you knew you
were causing chaos with that did you not
know I can us Charlize Theron tell the
world that you cannot find them did you
not know what that was a stampede you
should have been charged you should have
been charged by the fire marshal for
that one I and you know what you're
right I I brought this on to myself yes
yes I for responsibility I can't
complain about it so I'm no judge
attacks me how many people texting you
well you know what I don't know if the
karaoke will find you love but I know
everything will go to a good cause so
