-We have done almost every single thing together.
I mean, we've been a guest on a show --
-Does that mean I can never come back?
-No, you're our favorite! We love you so much.
-Because I love you guys. I love to be here.
-No, we -- [ Cheers and applause ]
It's good. -Great audience, great studio.
Amazing band.
Good to see you guys again, as well.
-We did a -- We did a --
It was like an NBC upfronts commercial.
This is something that no one will ever see.
-So we did do an NBC upfronts commercial,
but that's just you and I hanging out.
[ Laughter ]
-This is us before we went to the club.
-Yes, they forced us to wear suits for this gig.
That's just you and I have -- -But we had fun.
That was a fun -- -So, it was, and this is where
I actually get to shower you with praise,
because this is one thing you don't know about Jimmy Fallon.
He just works himself silly.
I know we're all busy in life, but this man goes
with a reckless abandon that makes me jealous.
So that day, we're shooting all day in Los Angeles.
I see Jimmy. He looks like his normal self,
fun, happy to be there, doing bits for everybody
while he's there.
Knows everybody, learns everybody's name,
will completely make himself look ridiculous
for this network commercial exposé
that he has to orchestrate.
And the next day, I just am like,
"Hey, man. So what have you been up to?"
He's like, "You know, just flew if from New York."
I'm like, "Hey! When?" He's like, "Yeah, like,
you know, an hour ago."
And he'd worked all night, flew to L.A., shot this bit,
was completely professional.
Not once was he like, "Oh, man. I'm just so tired."
Never once did I know he was on a 24-hour clock.
And as soon as he was done,
like, the last shot is him running out of thing.
He just ran straight out, caught the plane
back to New York and went back to work.
[ Laughter ]
-And I did -- [ Cheers and applause ]
-So, Jimmy is --
Jimmy is always being so nice to his guests
and showering his guests with compliments.
You are not only a consummate professional,
you are an inspiration on how to conduct yourself
around other people.
I think you tirelessly work yourself to the bone
to entertain these people every night,
and you're a wonderful human being,
and I'm proud to call you my friend.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you for saying that.
[ Cheers and applause continues ]
Hey, you guys always cheer for the guests.
For Jimmy Fallon! -No, no.
[ Cheers and applause ]
No, no, no.
All right. Stop, stop, stop, stop!
All right, two things. Two things.
One, I'm 100% drunk in this photo.
Number two, I didn't like your movie.
-All right, now let's -- [ Laughter and applause ]
-You know, Jimmy, every time we talk,
I feel when I leave here,
we're better friends than when we started.
And then you go and do something like that
and totally ruin it!
-You're shooting a lot of films right now.
I know you're in "Suicide Squad."
Right now, you're filming that currently.
-Yeah. -That's amazing.
You just finished a movie from "The Fast and Furious."
-Yeah, "Fast 9." Yeah.
-"Fast 9." [ Cheers ]
Oh, thank you, guys. Thank you.
-These are giant, giant movies.
[ Cheers and applause ]
Did you get any advice from your buddy Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson?
-That's a great question, Jimmy. -Thank you.
Yeah, no one's ever asked you that.
-No. Actually, no, they haven't.
So, it's actually --
You know, The Rock and I are most known
for our tremendous WWE feud that broke WWE Pay-Per-View records.
And we kind of talked a lot of trash about each other.
-Yeah.
-Now, we also had a follow-up match a year later.
So we spent a year making fun of each other,
and then, one night, beating each other up.
And then we were like, "Did we just become best friends?"
"Yep." [ Laughter ]
So, basically, we were able to set aside our differences
on that night. And in the next year,
I begin to get more chances at opportunities.
And I had an audition, and I had to put myself on tape
for a movie called "Trainwreck."
I hadn't yet got any news that I was gonna be in the running
for anything to be involved with the movie,
and I was really nervous.
And I'm like, "Well, I should talk to the one guy I know
who's in a lot of movies."
And Dwayne just happened to be at WWE.
I'm like, "Hey, man. You always --
We have a pretty good talking relationship.
Is there any advice you can give me
on how to turn this into a success?
Because it's something I really want to do."
And he gave me a piece of advice that still rings in my ears
like he said it yesterday.
And it was -- I don't even know if he knows
this was such sage advice.
He just turned to me as, like, smooth and casual
as he always does with everything he says,
and in such an inspirational tone,
as with everything he does, he was like,
"Just be yourself, man.
That's why they asked you there in the first place."
And that message of 'always be authentically yourself'
has stuck with me and created the opportunities that I have.
[ Cheers and applause ] -And that's where you --
-Thank you, The Rock. Thank you.
I appreciate it. -And you got "Trainwreck,"
and you crushed that movie!
You were so funny in that movie.
-Because I don't know if you've seen that movie.
I was absolutely myself in that movie.
-Yeah. Oh, really? [ Laughter ]
You were fantastic in that movie.
You were great.
And I want to talk about "Playing With Fire,"
because you crushed in this movie, as well,
with Keegan-Michael Key... -Yeah.
-...who's also another funny human being.
It comes out November -- -November 8th.
-November 8th. It is --
-You guys are going to Texas, right?
-Yeah. -Yeah, yeah.
-[ Cheers ] -November 7th.
Yeah, the one person from Texas is like, "Yeah!"
[ Laughter ] "All right!"
-I'll give you a ride over. I'll give you a ride over.
-Yeah. -I want to show everyone a clip.
Here's the great John Cena in "Playing With Fire."
Take a look at this.

-You hurt?
-Are you a real-life fireman?
-I'm a smoke jumper,
which is like a firefighter but way cooler.
-What does a smoke jumper do?
-Oh, we jump into fires to fight them.
-Firemen fight fires.
-Yeah, but there's over a million firefighters.
There's only 336 smoke jumpers.
-A million's more than 300.
-Listen, stop. I don't have time.
We do what I say and we do it now.
-Copy that. We are go for extraction.
-No, wait. No, wait!
Whoa!
Whoa! Unh!
Wait! -The button is jammed.
-Ohh! Unh!

[ Cheers and applause ]
