-I want to talk about "Aquaman" because it is giant.
It is awesome.
I would go see it in IMAX if it's available,
if that choice is available,
because it's just visually stunning.
And you are fantastic in the film.
-Thank you, thank you.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-In the movie, your superpower is hydrokinesis, is that right?
-Yes, which is not just blowing bubbles.
-It's not, no. -Right, yeah.
-That would be my superpower, yeah.
Yeah.
-Yeah, exactly. -That's why I didn't get the part.
[ Laughter ]
But what is hydrokinesis?
-So, my character has the ability to control water.
So she can use it for protection or a weapon.
But basically, it just looks cool.
-Yeah.
And who do you play, just so we can...?
-I play Mera.
Mera is a princess.
But more than a princess, she is a badass warrior queen.
She's fierce, she is a superhero in her own right.
She is no damsel in distress.
I like that.
-You're perfect opposite Jason Momoa,
who we just had on the show yesterday.
That dude is -- That guy is --
I mean, he's -- he's -- he's -- he's scary.
-He's -- Yeah.
How many things did he break?
-He did break something over his leg.
He did. -No joke, he always,
always, always breaks something.
-Is that right? -Yes.
Look at him. He's enormous.
-He's kind of like a little kid, though.
He's got that type of like --
I think I'm like that, but then when I'm around him,
we're so hyped up.
Like, really? But, I mean, right?
-Yeah, I heard he chased you. -He did chase me, yeah,
because I was afraid of him a little bit.
But I do love him. He's, like, a positive, happy dude.
-Yeah, he is. You know, Jason's allergic to being ignored.
-[ Laughs ]
-He can't sit still, so no matter what,
you know, he will push, prod, nudge, shove you,
anything to get your attention,
especially if you enjoy a quieter activity like reading.
And, you know, on set, I like to read,
and that just drives him nuts.
So he quickly adopted this method
to, you know, give himself relief.
He just adopted this method of
ripping out the last pages of my book.
-You're joking.
-No. Which is annoying.
You get to the last like 10 pages,
and they'd just be gone. -That is genius.
Oh, my gosh. -I know.
-But I heard that you would read on set.
'Cause in this movie, you'll see, they do a great job.
Who's the director of this? -James Wan, baby.
James Wan. -Man, oh, man, James Wan.
He did a great job because, clearly,
you can't be underwater and acting.
But it looks like you are. -You noticed.
-Yeah, I'm very smart. Thank you.
But it's well done,
and the way it's all done, you're gonna freak out.
It's a beautiful action film. -It's massive.
-But I saw somewhere that you like to read books on set
but you would be up in, like, a harness.
-Well, yeah, you know, we have a lot of green screen work in this movie.
And so, imagine you're in a harness,
suspended in the air 20, 30 feet in the air by these wires.
And it was a massive movie, it required massive scenes,
massive setups, and a long wait period.
So, you know, they'd call "action"
and they'd start rolling, and I'd have to throw my book down.
-But they would just leave you hanging up in the harness?
-Yeah!
-Wouldn't you say, "Hey, why don't you let me down
so I can go read my book" or something?
-And they're like, "Oh, we care about that...not at all."
-Oh, my God! "Just stay up there.
What do you need?" -Like, "What a diva."
-"We'll throw you food," yeah.
-Yeah, and so, that's how it ended up happening.
You know, people would throw my book up to me.
The crew noticed that, I'm, you know, there dangling in the air,
staring longingly at my book 30 feet below on the ground.
And someone made me a book bag
out of the green screen material.
And much to Jason's chagrin, I had a solution.
Like, they'd call role, and I'd throw my book in my book bag,
and it would disappear. -No way!
-Yeah.
-And do you still have that book bag?
-Of course! It was the only thing I could keep from set!
-Aw, that's fantastic! What a nice crew to do that for you.
-Yeah, yeah.
-I want to show a clip.
Here's Amber Heard and Jason Momoa in "Aquaman,"
in theaters two weeks from today.
Check this out.
-Nothing.
-Of course it's not working.
It's been sitting here collecting dust
since before the Sahara was a desert.
-"Before the Sahara was a desert."
Let's just say you do your best thinking when you're not thinking at all.
Now, hold still. -Hey, what are you doing?
-We need water.
You're the closest source.

-[ Laughs ] Showoff.
Could have just peed on it.
