>> ALL RIGHT, AL. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>>> IT WAS THE PHOTO SEEN AROUND THE WORLD, CAPTURING THE MOMENT
WHEN JEFF BAUMAN WAS WHEELED AWAY IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE
BOSTON MARATHON BOMBINGS. THE IMAGE BECAME THE MOST ICONIC
OF THAT DAY. >> NOW, 4 1/2 YEARS LATER,
JEFF'S ROAD IS HITTING THE BIG SCREEN IN THE MOVIE, "STRONGER."
>> REACH BACK. CHEST UP.
CHEST UP. CHEST UP.
OKAY. >> CHEST UP.
CHEST UP. GOOD.
GOOD. OKAY.
>> THAT'S AMAZING. >> OKAY.
>> YOU ARE SO TALL. >> I CAN'T.
I CAN'T. >> JEFF IS HERE THIS MORNING,
ALONG WITH JAKE GYLLENHAAL, WHO PLAYS JEFF IN THE FILM.
GOOD MORNING, GENTLEMEN. I SAW THE MOVIE LAST NIGHT.
IT REALLY GRABS YOUR HEART. AND IT'S SO MOVING.
AND I CAN'T IMAGINE, JEFF, WHAT IT WAS LIKE FOR YOU TO WATCH
THIS UNFOLD. TO THE VIEWER, IT FELT SO REAL.
HOW DID IT FEEL FOR YOU? >> VERY SURREAL.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, SAVANNAH.
I MET YOU THREE TIMES NOW. AND ONE TIME, YOU WERE PREGNANT.
AND ANOTHER TIME IT WAS -- >> CIRCLE OF LIFE.
>> CIRCLE OF LIFE. >> AND YOU HAVE A LITTLE GIRL
NOW, TOO? >> SHE'S THREE NOW.
>> NORA. >> CONGRATULATIONS.
>> WHAT WAS THE PROCESS LIKE FOR YOU, DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ROLES,
THAT YOU HAD, WHERE YOU'RE NOT PLAYING A FICTIONAL CHARACTER.
YOU'RE PLAYING A REAL-LIFE CHARACTER, AND SOMEONE WE DON'T
KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT PRIVATELY. WE'VE SEEN YOU THROWING OUT
PITCHES AT RED SOX GAMES AND GETTING THE ADORATION.
WHAT DID YOU HAVE TO DO TO STUDY JEFF?
>> I FELT A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY, NOT ONLY TO JEFF.
BUT TO HIS FAMILY AND THE CITY OF BOSTON AND ANYBODY WHO SAW
THAT PHOTOGRAPH, WHO HAD ANY FEELINGS ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO
HIM ON THAT DAY. I THINK, YOU KNOW, FOR ME, WHAT
I DISCOVERED WAS HIS INCREDIBLE SENSE OF HUMOR, WHICH I GUESS
WASN'T A SURPRISE. BUT I THINK I REALIZED THAT'S
WHAT GOT HIM THROUGH ALL OF THIS.
THAT'S WHAT'S IN THE MOVIE. AND I THINK ALSO THE INCREDIBLE
COMMUNITY AROUND HIM. THE PEOPLE, WITH ALL OF THE
COMPLICATION AND ALL OF THE MESSINESS AND COMPLEXCOMPLEXITIY
LOVE HIM SO MUCH. AND YOU START TO REALIZE, THAT'S
THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS AT ALL.
>> I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED THE HUMOR.
I MENTIONED MY TEARS. I HAVE TO SAY, YOU PLAY IT WITH
SUCH HEART. AND YOU REALLY SEE, JEFF, YOUR
PERSONALITY. AND YOU ARE A VERY, VERY FUNNY
GUY. I KNOW THE PREMIERE WAS -- HE'S
LIKE, THANK YOU. THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M QUITE HILARIOUS. >> THANK YOU.
>> DON'T BE SO SERIOUS OVER THERE.
>> DID YOU SEE ME STARING OFF INTO SPACE?
I WAS READING THE TELEPROMPTER. >> JAKE, TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED
WHEN WE WERE DOING THE TEASE BEFORE.
>> I WAS DOING THE TEASE. AND NOW, COMING UP JAKE
GYLLENHAAL AND JEFF BAUMAN. AND JAKE WAS READING THE
TELEPROMPTER. >> YOU CAN'T PUT A TELEPROMPTER
IN FRONT OF ME. I'M GOING TO READ IT.
>> DURING THE FLIP, JAKE IS TELLING JEFF, PERK UP.
WE'RE ON. >> THREE MINUTES.
STAY AWAKE. STAY AWAKE.
>> KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN, MAN. LET'S TALK ABOUT THE PREMIERE.
IT WAS COOL. THE PREMIERE FOR THE MOVIE WAS
IN BOSTON, THE SPALDEN REHABILITATION CENTER, WHERE YOU
RECOVERED AND A LOT OF THE FILM WAS SHOT THERE.
>> IT WAS AMAZING TO HAVE IT AT
SPALDING. IT BROUGHT BACK A LOT OF
MEMORIES. BUT WHAT WAS GREAT, MY HEAD
P.T., MICHELLE KERR, SHE IS IN THE MOVIE.
>> IS THAT THE ROTTWEILER? >> NO.
THAT'S VANESSA BOYKIN. >> SHE IS IN THE MOVIE.
SHE TOOK OUT JAKE'S BREATHING TUBE, OR MY BREATHING TUBE IN
REAL LIFE. >> THESE ARE YOUR CARETAKERS IN
THE MOVIE, WHICH IS JUST AMAZING.
>> JEFF KALISH, THE SURGEON, TO EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.
AND THAT -- ALL THAT STUFF, LIKE, REALLY HITS ME HARD.
AND IT'S LIKE, WHOA. >> DR. KALISH CAME IN BECAUSE
THERE WERE DOCTORS AUDITIONING TO PLAY DOCTORS AND NURSES.
AND OUR DIRECTOR WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH THE PERFORMANCES.
WE HAD A MEETING TO DISCUSS WHAT HAPPENED WITH JEFF.
AND WE TURNED TO EACH OTHER AND SAY, MAYBE HE CAN PLAY THE
DOCTOR. WE HAD HIM AUDITION.
AND HE WAS REALLY NOT GOOD. >> BUT HE'S A GREAT SURGEON.
>> THEN, HE JUST SAID WHAT HE SAID TO HIS FAMILY AND TO JEFF.
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, WE SAID, WE DON'T NEED A SCRIPT.
WE HAVE EVERYBODY COME IN AND BEHAVE AS THEY DID.
>> IT'S NOT ACTING. WE HAVE TO GO.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF JAKE'S BOSTON ACCENT?
DID HE GET IT? >> IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
>> THAT'S A COMPLIMENT. I'LL TAKE THAT.
>> HE'S RAVING. >> TWO OUT OF FIVE STARS.
YES. >> HE WORKED REALLY HARD.
>> HE DID. AND IT SHOWS.
IT'S REALLY EXCELLENT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
JAKE AND JEFF. >> THANK YOU, G
