-Ryan Reynolds, it's great to see you, pal.
You look good. -Nice to see you, my friend.
-Are those earbuds, or is there blood coming out of your ears?
-No, no, these are earbuds.
These were a gift I got on the movie I was doing,
which was shut down halfway through.
-Is this the one with The Rock? -Yes, it is, yeah.
-I'm sorry about that. What was that called?
-It's called "Red Notice." "Red Notice."
And, yeah, we made it about --
I'd say like one or two days past the halfway point mark.
It was really close to --
Yeah, we were just over the halfway point mark.
We probably would've made it, I'm guessing --
We might've finished the movie
if we didn't spend 90% of our time dicking around, laughing.
-[ Laughing ]
-I've known Dwayne for like 15 years,
so we tend to spend time trying to make each other laugh.
Which is a really irresponsible thing to do
with Netflix, their money. But you know...
It makes for a good movie in the end
once you get take 28 down and in the can.
You're set, right? -I can't come back --
-Once I'm going, I can't come back.
I start laughing, and there's no -- I don't return.
I have to take an hour off. -Yeah, ditto.
And then it's like a compound problem, right?
Now the pressure's on to not laugh.
-It's a workout.
-Yeah, usually, I seriously hurt myself.
Like, I'll punch my -- Charley-horse myself
as hard as I possibly can.
Maybe like a tiny stab wound in a non-vital organ area,
just to try to keep it together.
-What does he laugh at? What makes him break?
-Well, yeah, he's -- I think one of the reasons
I've been friends with him for a long time is that
he really laughs at himself,
which is one of the things I love about him.
So if you kind of parrot back
his thing that he's doing in the movie --
Like, if his line is like, "I'm special agent John Harvey
of the FBI," and if you parrot it back,
just 27% faster with a swear word, like,
"I'm special agent John Harvey of the FBI, mother [bleep],"
he just, like -- he's gone.
He leaves the room, and he never comes back.
And it's great. You know, and it's a fun movie.
He plays a totally normal-sized FBI agent.
And I play a con artist
who happens to be bathed in expert lighting.
And then there's Gal Gadot who plays a --
sort of a mystery figure in the movie
that I don't want to give away, and she's amazing, as well.
And that was sort of it. I was sold. That was it, yeah.
-And that's "Red Notice." Do we know when --
I guess as soon as quarantine's over, you'll...
When it's safe. -I'm assuming, yeah.
I think we're gonna be right back into it, yeah.
-Where are you in quarantine? Who are you quarantined with?
-I'm quarantined with my family,
with Blake and our three daughters
and my mother-in-law, as well.
You know, I know, it's the best.
It's one of those things where it's a split-second decision.
Right? You're thinking like,
"Oh, yeah, we've all got to quarantine together."
But you're thinking, "Oh, this is gonna be a few days."
So you gotta be careful.
At least I like the people I'm quarantined --
I love them -- that I'm quarantining with.
It was a toss-up for a minute there.
Should I quarantine with my publicly facing family
or my secret family in Denmark?
It was a real toss-up. -[ Laughs ]
-Oh, of course. That must've been hard on you.
-I miss Luna, Lekhet, and Uhn very much so.
-I love Uhn. Give my best to Uhn.
-Una is so sweet, yeah. -Of course.
-So you went with the Hollywood family.
-Yeah, went with the Hollywood family.
And it's been great.
It's a decision I don't regret at all.
It's been fun. Yeah, we've been --
-Are the kids appreciating it?
I know you and Blake, I've seen you guys, obviously,
a bunch of times, but you guys are perfect together.
But are the kids happy to have you around all the time?
-Frankly, I think it sets a dangerous precedent, Jimmy.
You know, I think when we look back at this thing
years from now, they're gonna think about me
and how I used to be a present dad.
And I worry about that. I worry about the --
"Remember when dad was just home all the time
and always up in our grille?" -"We loved it so much."
-It's actually been amazing. Because, you know, I don't --
I'm trying to let myself appreciate it
as much as possible, because at the same time,
you're thinking, like, there's so many people
in the world that are -- this is not a good thing,
that this is causing free-floating anxiety
for a lot of people and different things.
So I'm trying to let myself appreciate the actual face time
with the family and spending as much time as possible.
And it really does vacillate between deep,
beautiful connection, and then, suddenly,
it's the third act of "Aliens."
Suddenly I'm having a totally normal conversation
with a 3-year-old, then she's spitting acid in my face,
and I'm running for my life in the belly of the ship
and wearing nothing but a tank tops, sweaty as hell.
-That's a Tuesday night for you. -Yeah. I kind of, you know --
This is what -- I don't know, we're on,
like -- I don't know -- year five of quarantining?
I'm not sure where we are, but it changes on a dime, right?
-Oh, yeah. -Like, "What do you want
for dinner, sweet, sweet angel?"
And she's like, "I want Cheerios!"
You're just like...
Total the beast. She's the beast.
They all are, really.
-It's Teacher Appreciation Week, and I know it means a lot to you
'cause your brother is actually a teacher.
Not only do you appreciate teachers,
but your brother is a teacher.
-My brother Patrick, yeah. He teaches at
Coyote Creek Elementary School up in British Columbia, Canada.
He teaches third and fourth graders.
He's an awesome guy. He's also an artist,
so he brings something special and magical to those kids
each and every day, and I'm really proud of him.
And I have another brother who's a first responder,
who works for the RCMP.
He's a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman, Terry.
-Oh, my goodness. -Yeah, so, you know --
I have another brother, as well,
who's kind of a jack of all trades.
They all sort of do really good stuff for the community.
You know, it starts to get pretty embarrassing
calling him a dick at dinner. -[ Laughs ]
-They're such good people. -They're such good people, yeah.
