♪ ♪ ♪ >> Stephen: WE'RE BACK WITH ONE
OF THE STARS OF "WANDAVISION," PAUL BETTANY.
OKAY, LET'S GET INTO "WANDAVISION" ITSELF.
FOR THE-- HOPEFULLY THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING THIS HAVE SEEN
"WANDAVISION."
SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE.
TO-- TO TELL THEM THE IDEA, GENERALLY, IS THAT IT STARTS OFF
JUST LOOK A SITCOM.
THE SERIES STARTS OFF JUST LIKE A SERIES OF SITCOMS.
IT GOES WITH THE "DICK VAN DYKE" SHOW STYLE, "BEWITCHED" STYLE,
"BRADY BUNCH," ESSENTIALLY, "MALCOLM IN THE MIDDLE," "MODERN
FAMILY," LIKE THAT.
WHAT WAS IT LIKE NAILING THOSE STYLES?
BECAUSE THE ENTIRE PRODUCTION, BUT YOU AS THE ACTORS IN IT ARE
PERFECTLY NAILING IT STYLISTICALLY, WHICH YOU HAVE TO
IN ORDER FOR THOSE MOMENT WHERE'S IT BREAKS TO PLAY.
WHAT'S THAT LIKE?
WHAT'S THE-- WHAT'S THE PROCESS TO GET DICK VAN DYKE DOWN?
>> IT WAS-- IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY HUMBLING.
I GREW UP IN THE U.K., AND WE SAW THE "DICK VAN DYKE SHOW" ON
SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS AFTER CHURCH AND BEFORE SPORTS.
AND I-- AND I LOVED THEM.
YOU KNOW, AND I LOVED "BEWITCHED."
BUT I-- AND SO I KIND OF HAD THEM IN MID WITH.
AND I'M LIKE, "YEAH, I KNOW WHAT THESE SHOWS ARE."
AND YOU GO BACK AND YOU WATCH THEM AND YOU REALIZE THE AMOUNT
OF-- OF DESIGN THAT HAS GONE IN, FROM THE ACTOR.
I MEAN, DICK VAN DYKE IS A GENIUS.
I MEAN, TO DO SOMETHING THAT-- THE PRATFALLS, THE-- WHEN HE
DOES THE DRUNK ACTING, IT'S SO LARGE, BUT IT'S SO WELL
ORGANIZED.
AND I GOT REALLY DAUNTED, ACTUALLY, THE MORE I GOT INTO
IT.
AND YOU KNOW, STAYING WITH-- IT'S INTERESTING TO WATCH THEM
ALL BACK TO BACK, AND YOU GET SORT OF BRYAN CRANSTON, AND IT'S
BRILLIANT.
IT'S MUCH COOLER.
YOU DON'T KNOW-- THERE IS A WARMTH TO DICK VAN DYKE THAT IS
JUST-- IT'S-- IT'S I-- YOU KNOW, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HE-- HOW HE
PULLED IT OFF.
I LOOKED AT LIZZIE AND I WENT, GEEZ, WE'VE GOT TO WORK OUT.
>> Stephen: SURE, AND MARY TILE MOORE, THOSE AREN'T SMALL
SHOES TO FILL, EITHER.
>> NOT SMALL SHOES TO FILL.
BUT WE ONLY HAD TO DO IT ONCE.
BUT OUR DIRECTOR DID SAY, WE GOING TO DO IT IN FRONT OF A
LIVE AUDIENCE."
AND I WENT, "I DON'T THINK-- I DON'T THINK I CAN."
>> Stephen: LAST QUESTION, YOU SAID THEY TAKE OUT YOUR EARS
DIGITALLY NOW.
I HAVE TO KNOW, AS SOMEONE WHO IS IN HIS 50s AND YOU'RE ABOUT
TO BE 50, IS THAT REALLY YOUR CHEST, OR IS THAT DIGITAL
WIZARDRY?
>> THESE ARE VERY GOOD QUESTIONS.
I'M GOING TO GET VERY SPECIFIC WITH YOU NOW.
>> Stephen: OH, GOOD.
>> ABOUT 42 INCHES OF IT IS MY CHEST.
ABOUT EIGHT INCHES JUST ISN'T.
BUT IT'S NOT-- IT'S NOT DIGITAL.
IT'S A SUIT THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU WEAR.
THEY-- THEY GIVE-- THEY GIVE YOU A MUSCLE SUIT.
BUT -- >> Stephen: THAT MAKES ME FEEL
SO MUCH BETTER.
YOU JUST MADE ME THE HAPPIEST MAN, AND I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL MY
WIFE!
>> OKAY, GOOD, YES, IT'S NOT MINE.
BUT THE INTERESTING THING IS WHAT YOU DISCOVER IS THAT YOU
CAN'T-- YOU CAN'T JOIN IN THE SORT OF COVID PANDEMIC BANANA
BREAD EATING FAN AS ITMAGORIA.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU WEAR THE MUSCLE SUIT AND YOU HAVE A BANANA BREAD
BELLY, IT'S VERY OBVIOUS-- THE JIG'S UP.
>> Stephen: THEY CAN'T JUST DIGITALLY TAKE THAT OUT WITH
YOUR EARS?
>> MAYBE THEY CAN!
I MEAN, FOR GOD'S SAKE, MARK RUFF LOW, YOU COULDN'T PULL HIM
AWAY FROM THE CAST SERVICE TABLE.
>> Stephen: PAUL, LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
HOPE THE NEXT TIME IT'S IN FRONT OF AN AUDIENCE AGAIN.
THE "WANDAVISION" FINALE STREAMS FRIDAY ON DISNEY+.
IT MUST BE REALLY GOOD BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T LET ME HAVE A
PRESCREENER.
PAUL BETTANY, EVERYBODY!
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH A PERFORMANCE BY METALLICA.
