- YOU DID THREE FILMS BACK-TO-BACK.
- I DID THREE FILMS BACK-TO-BACK.
I DID "GATSBY, "DJANGO UNCHAINED,"
AND THEN WENT STRAIGHT INTO THIS, YEAH.
- WOW. THREE GREAT MOVIES.
- THANK YOU.
[applause]
- IN ONE YEAR-- NO, NOT IN ONE YEAR.
- IT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AND A HALF, YEAH.
- WOW. THAT'S AMAZING. - YEAH.
- AND YOU FORGET ABOUT "DJANGO UNCHAINED"
AND "GATSBY" AND-- SO WHEN YOU--
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN OFF NOW?
- IT'S BEEN ABOUT A YEAR, AND I STILL DON'T HAVE--
I MEAN, THIS WAS SUCH AN--
THIS FILM TOOK, REALLY, EVERYTHING OUT OF ME.
- BUT YOU'RE GOOD AT RELAXING AND DOING...
- OH, I'M GREAT AT IT. - YEAH.
WELL, IF YOU'RE JUST DOING NOTHING AND AROUND,
YOU CAN COME HERE EVERY DAY IF YOU'D LIKE.
- JUST HANG OUT? - YEAH.
- YEAH. - YOU CAN COME BY.
[cheers and applause]
I'LL JUST PUT A CHAIR BACK THERE.
- HANG OUT BY THE PLANTS UP THERE.
- YEAH, YEAH.
- AND JUST SORT OF STARE AT YOU, LIKE...
- RIGHT, I'LL JUST PUT A CHAIR RIGHT THERE,
AND YOU JUST SIT THERE.
- IN A REALLY CREEPY WAY. - YEAH.
- JUST LIKE--I'LL JUST BE SITTING UP THERE.
- NOTHING'S CREEPY ABOUT YOU LOOKING AT ME.
THAT'S FINE.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT--
WE--WE WERE JUST TALKING DURING THE BREAK.
YOU HAD AN AMAZING FUND-RAISER,
AND YOU SOLD ART FOR YOUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOUNDATION.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF IT?
- IT'S CALLED LDF,
AND WE KIND OF FOCUS ON PROTECTING, YOU KNOW,
ENDANGERED SPECIES AND THEIR ECOSYSTEMS,
SO, YOU KNOW, CORAL REEF SYSTEMS, JUNGLES
THAT ARE HOME TO SORT OF TOP PREDATORS--
SHARKS, TIGERS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
- I LOVE THAT. - YEAH.
- I LOVE THAT YOU'RE DOING THAT.
AND YOU'RE PROTECTING SHARKS.
[applause]
IT'S, UM...
I THINK WHEN PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF ANYTHING,
WHATEVER IT IS-- A PERSON OR AN ANIMAL--
WHEN YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND IT AND YOU'RE AFRAID OF IT, YOU--
WE FEEL LIKE WE MUST DESTROY IT, YOU KNOW?
AND SHARKS ARE AMAZING CREATURES.
- ABSOLUTELY.
THEY'RE THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN.
AND 90% OF THEM HAVE SORT OF BEEN ELIMINATED
FROM THE OCEANS, BUT, YOU KNOW,
THE TRUTH IS THAT THESE THINGS HAVE NO VOICE, YOU KNOW?
AND ONLY 2% OF PHILANTHROPY GOES TOWARDS ENVIRONMENTALISM,
WHICH IS, YOU KNOW, MICROSCOPIC
COMPARED TO THE BENEFITS THAT IT GIVES US.
SO, YOU KNOW, MY WHOLE GOAL WITH THAT AUCTION
WAS TO REALLY TRY TO ISOLATE SOME OF THESE PLACES
AND PROTECT THEM FOR ALL TIME,
AND, YOU KNOW, THAT'S MY GOAL.
- AND YOU HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH A SHARK.
- YEAH, A FEW, A FEW.
- BUT DIDN'T ONE GET IN--
WEREN'T YOU IN A CAGE OR SOMETHING
AND IT GOT IN THERE?
- YOU KNOW, WHEN I WORK WITH THESE NGOs,
THESE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS,
YOU KIND OF GO ON THE GROUND;
YOU SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING.
I DID A WHOLE EXCURSION WHERE I WENT TO NEPAL,
WENT ON ELEPHANT-BACK AND LOOKED FOR TIGERS.
OF COURSE, FOR FOUR DAYS I WAS THERE,
I DIDN'T SEE A SINGLE TIGER.
THEY BLEND INTO THE JUNGLE, AND YOU HAVE--
AND THE ELEPHANTS SORT OF GO UP ON THEIR HIND LEGS,
AND THEY REACT TO A TIGER BEING THERE,
BUT YOU CAN'T ACTUALLY SEE THEM.
THEN I WENT TO-- - WAIT.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE ON AN ELEPHANT
AND IT GOES ON ITS HIND LEGS?
- YOU HOLD ON.
- OKAY. I SEE.
- YOU HOLD ON FOR DEAR LIFE.
- THANK YOU. - YES.
AND THEN WE WENT-- AND THEN I WENT SCUBA DIVING
LOOKING FOR SHARKS.
AND I HAD A HUGE FEAR OF SHARKS,
AND WHEN I DID "BLOOD DIAMOND" IN 2006,
I ACTUALLY GOT STUCK IN A CAGE WITH A GREAT WHITE,
WHICH WAS AWESOME.
IT WAS GREAT.
- HOW BIG WAS THE GREAT WHITE?
- IT WAS A GIGANTIC GREAT WHITE. AND--
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? IT WAS IN WITH YOU IN--
- IT WAS IN THE CAGE WITH ME, YEAH.
- HOW DID YOU SURVIVE THAT? - I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.
- THEN YOU'RE MAKING IT UP.
- NO, I'M NOT. I'M NOT. I'M NOT.
THEY ACTUALLY SAID,
"IN 30 YEARS, THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED."
BUT THE TUNA KIND OF GOT STUCK ON THE TOP OF THE CAGE,
AND THE GREAT WHITE LEAPT OUT AND TRIED TO BITE IT,
AND IT WENT INTO THE CAGE WITH ME,
AND HALF OF ITS BODY WAS IN AND OUT,
AND I FLATTENED DOWN AT THE BOTTOM,
AND IT WAS THIS FAR AWAY,
AND IT CHOMPED A FEW TIMES, BUT I SURVIVED IT,
AND THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING IS GREAT.
THEY'RE PROTECTING SHARKS AS WELL.
SO I DON'T WANT TO-- YOU KNOW.
- YOU DON'T NEED TO GO DO THAT ANYMORE.
- I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT ANYMORE,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO DISCOUNT THEIR WORK,
'CAUSE THEY'RE DOING GREAT STUFF,
BUT IT WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFYING.
