>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
>> Stephen: THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS I LIKE ABOUT YOU, MATTHEW
McCONAUGHEY, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS I LIKE THE MOST ABOUT
YOU-- AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES A STAR, IN MY OPINION-- IS THAT
YOU ARE MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY.
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE, "I WONDER WHAT THAT GUY IS LIKE."
AND YOU MEET THEM AND YOU'RE LIKE, "THAT IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT
I THOUGHT."
WE KNOW MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY.
AND FUNDAMENTAL THAT MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY FEELING, YOU GO TO
THE SOURCE MATTHEW McCONAUGHEY.
YOU ARE THE NATIONAL RESERVE OF McCONAUGHEY.
WE ALL NEED THAT FEELING EVER SO OFTEN.
HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
>> I'M BEEN PRETTY McCONAUGHEY, MAN.
>> Stephen: THE MA CON KAY LEVEL IS HIGH.
>> LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD.
WE JUST GOT FINISHED WORKING OVER IN LONDON, GOT BACK TO
AUSTIN, TEXAS, TO OUR HOME, TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS, MOVED
INTO THE HOUSE WE HAVE BEEN RENOVATING, STAYED THERE WITH
THE FAMILY, KEPT IT TIGHT, AND HERE WE ARE STARTING OFF THE NEW
YEAR.
>> Stephen: THIS NEW FILM, "SERENITY," YOU SHOT IT IN--
>> MARICIOUS.
>> Stephen: WHERE IS MARICIOUS.
>> 1500 MILES OFF THE EASTERN COAST OF SOUTH AFRICA, IN THE
INDIAN OCEAN.
>> Stephen: THAT IS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
>> NOWHERE.
IT KIND OF FITS FOR WHY WE SHOT THERE IN THE FILM.
YEAR, IT'S HIND IEWRK IT'S CREOLE, IT'S PROTESTANT, IT'S
MUSLIM.
IT WAS ONLY INHABITED 400 YEARS AGO, SO IT'S QUITE A MYSTICAL
PLACE.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS THERE BEFORE PEOPLE?
>> I BELIEVE JUST ITS BEAUTY, AS FAR AS I KNOW.
IT'S GOT A VOLCANO IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.
IT'S GOT A LOT OF SUGAR CANE.
THEY MAKE GREAT RUM IN MARICIOUS, SIR.
>> Stephen: WE DON'T HAVE ANY RUM, I'M AFRAID TONIGHT.
>> BUT WE DO HAVE THINGS, OTHER BROWN LIQUORS.
>> Stephen: YOU BROUGHT ME A GIFT TONIGHT.
THIS IS-- WHAT IS THIS I'M ABOUT TO PORINTO THESE GLASS.
>> THIS IS A BOURBON CALLED LONG BRANCH I WORKED ON FOR TWO
YEARS, AND ONE NIGHT AFTER 88 SAMPLES OVER TWO YEARS, I SIPPED
THIS, AND I SAID THAT'S THE BEST BOURBON ON THE PLANET.
>> Stephen: HERE YOU GO.
( CHEERS ).
>> SALUD.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: THAT'S LOVELY.
THAT'S LOVELY.
YEAH.
>> THAT IS LOVELY.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A DRY JANUARY, BUT I'M JUST GOING TO
PRETEND THAT THIS IS A RERUN.
>> WE'RE HAVING A McCONAUGHEY MOMENT.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: THAT'S DELICIOUS.
>> THANK YOU.
>> Stephen: NOW, YOU ARE-- AND, I MEAN, IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
YOU'RE AN ACTOR.
EVERYBODY DOES THIS EVERY SO OFTEN.
ARE YOU BUCK NAKED IN THIS MOVIE.
>> THAT'S WHAT I KEEP HEARING!
AND I SAY-- I'M GOING TO THE PREMIERE TONIGHT, AND I HAVE TO
SEE IF THERE'S A NEW EDIT OR A NEW CUT OF THIS FILM I HAVEN'T
SEEN.
I KNOW THERE WAS TOPLESS.
AND I GOT PEOPLE COMING UP GOING, "IT'S GREAT TO SEE YOU
FULL FRONTAL."
AND I'M LIKE WHAT?
>> Stephen: WILL THAT BE THE FIRST TIME YOU FIND OUT WHETHER
YOU'RE CUT?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
SPEAKING OF BOURBONS AND YOU AND I LOVE THEM, IT WILL BE THE
FIRST TIME WE KNOW IF I'M A SAVAGE COCK OR LONG BRANCH.
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: THEY DON'T KNOW SAVAGE COCK.
THAT'S MY BOURBON.
>> THAT'S HIS BOURBON.
>> Stephen: MY BOURBON IS SAVAGE COCK.
HIS IS LONG BRANCH.
>> DID I GO TOO DEEP.
>> Stephen: NO, YOU WENT JUST DEEP ENOUGH.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU-- I HAVE TO TELL YOU-- THE REASON I ASKED,
ONE OF MY PRODUCERS, ONE OF MY RESEARCHERS SAW THE FILM AND
SAID, "NO, NO, NO, YOU CAN SEE."
>> THAT'S WHAT I'M TOLD!
>> Stephen: AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU, IF YOU'RE NOT NUDE YOU
SHOULD HAVE THAT CHECKED OUT BECAUSE YOU GOT SOMETHING--
SOMETHING'S WRONG.
BUT ARE YOU.
THAT'S YOU, RIGHT?
>> YEAH, THAT'S ME.
>> Stephen: HERE'S ONE SHOT WE CAN SHOW ON CBS.
THIS IS YOU JUMPING OFF A CLIFF BUCK-NAKED THERE.
>> I HAVE A NUDE-COLORED THING-- YOU DON'T WANT TO BE JUMPING
INTO THE WATER WITH THINGS THAT ARE NOT --
>> Stephen: I SEE THE LIBERTY BELL RIGHT THERE.
( LAUGHTER )
>> YEAH!
>> Stephen: HERE'S THE THING, THIS LOOKS DANGEROUS, MAN, EVEN
JUST-- HOW HIGH IS THIS CLIFF?
>> THAT CLIFF'S ABOUT, OH, 60 FEET.
>> Stephen: OH, 60 FEET.
JUST A SIX-STORY BUILDING.
WERE YOU-- DID YOU DO THIS JUMP YOURSELF?
>> I DID DO THAT JUMP ONCE.
>> Stephen: THAT LOOKS PAINFUL.
>> WELL, IT IS KIND OF PAINFUL.
THERE ARE A FEW TRICKS YOU HAVE TO LEARN.
ONE IS DEFINITELY HAVE WHATEVER-- IF YOU DO HAVE DANGLY
BITS, HAVE THEM VERY SECURE.
( LAUGHTER )
FLAPPING IN THE WIND IN THAT SHOT.
BECAUSE I WOULD BE INJURED RIGHT NOW IF I WAS.
THE OTHER ONE-- THE OTHER THING YOU NEED TO DO, IS JUST WHEN YOU
THINK, ANOTHER THE REST OF MY ENTIRE BODY IS STRAIGHT UP AND
DOWN.
>> Stephen: SURE, SURE, YEAH.
>> YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT YOUR PALMS OUT LIKE THAT.
POP, BREAK YOUR HANDSS.
AS SOON AS YOUR HEAD IS UNDER WATER, YOU HAVE TO KICK YOUR
LEGS UP SO YOU SWOOP UP.
YOU DON'T WANT TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE BOTTOM AND BURST YOUR EAR
DRUMS.
>> Stephen: HERE'S ANOTHER THING I HEARD YOU SHOULD DO,
HAVE A STUNTMAN.
THAT'S ANOTHER TRICK.
YOU NEVER HEARD OF THAT ONE?
YOU, YOU, GROWN UP IN TEXAS WITH SOME BROTHERS
( APPLAUSE ).
>> HEY-HEY.
>> Stephen: DID YOU-- DID YOU DO CRAZY STUFF LIKE THIS AS A
KID?
DID YOU-- DID YOU DO THIS KIND OF DANGEROUS STUFF THAT YOU
DIDN'T WANT TO TELL YOUR PARENTS ABOUT?
>> YEAH, BUT ACTUALLY, MY PARENTS WERE PRETTY MUCH, LIKE,
IF IT HAD TO DO WITH-- MY PARENTS WERE THE ONES THAT WOULD
GO LIKE, GO, JUMP IT, DO IT."
THEY WERE VERY MUCH-- IF I IT WA ANYTHING THAT HAD TO DO WITH
NATURAL PRODUCTS THEY WOULD BE LIKE, "GO FOR IT."
THEY JUST LIKED TO TEST OUR METTLE.
SO I HAVE TWO OLDER BROTHERS, WE'D GO-- THERE'S A GREAT RIVER,
SPRING-FED RIVER AND IT WOULD HAVE CLIFFS LIKE THIS AND WE'D
JUMP OFF.
>> Stephen: ARE YOU GOG TELL YOUR CHILDREN THAT YOU DID THIS?
>> THEY KNOW I DID THAT.
>> Stephen: THEY DO.
>> THEY WERE -- >> Stephen: MY WIFE HAS TOLD
ME NOT TO TELL MY CHILDREN THE THINGS THAT I DID WHEN I WAS A
TEENAGER BECAUSE WE JUMPED OFF BRIDGES.
WE JUMPED OFF, LIKE, CHANNEL TOWERS AND STUFF LIKE THAT UPON
YOU WERE NOT TO TELL THEM YOU DID THAT.
>> YOU HAVE TO TELL THEM A LITTLE BIT OF THAT.
>> Stephen: I TOLD THEM ANYWAY.
>> SHE WASN'T THERE?
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
I'VE ACTUALLY SAID TO MY SONS, "GO GET IN TROUBLE."
>> YOU'RE NOT TAKING ENOUGH RISK.
>> Stephen: EXACTLY.
>> YOU'RE A COLBERT.
>> Stephen: WE DON'T TAKE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL ENOUGH.
>> COME ON!
>> Stephen: WHAT SCARS ARE YOU GOING TO SHOW?
>> A LITTLE CHAOS.
LITTLE CASSOS.YOU HAVE LIFE IN T >> Stephen: WE HAVE TO TAKE A
BREAK.
