HELLO!

♪ ♪ ♪
BOTH CHEEKS!
( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> WOW!
>> Stephen: HEY!
>> THANK YOU, YEAH.
>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, TOO, BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE
MAY NOT REMEMBER THIS, BUT WE COSTARRED IN A MOVIE TOGETHER
ONCE.
DO YOU-- ARE YOU FAMILIAR WITH WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT?
YOU DON'TUE DON'T LOOK LIKE YOU ARE.
( LAUGHTER ) >> I ACTUALLY DID FORGET.
BUT -- >> Stephen: THE MOVIE WAS
"BEWITCHED."
>> YES, YES.
>> Stephen: OKAY.
AND YOU PLAYED SAM, THE WITCH.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: AND I PLAYED ONE OF THE WRITERS OF THE SHOW,
"BEWITCHED."
AND HERE IS OUR-- THIS IS OUR LOVE SCENE RIGHT HERE.
( LAUGHTER ) THERE'S SOME REAL CHEMISTRY
THERE.
THERE'S SOME ELECTRICITY IN THAT PHOTOGRAPH.
YOU REMEMBER THAT?
YOU MUST REMEMBER THAT SCENE?
>> I HAVE THE WORST MEMORY, SO I'LL JUST--
( LAUGHTER ).
>> Stephen: I THINK YOU PROBABLY HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
MEMORY.
>> VAGUELY.
>> Stephen: IN THIS SCENE, I CAME OVER AND SAID, "THEY'RE
READY FOR YOU ON SET."
THAT WAS IT.
THAT WAS OUR BIG SCENE TOGETHER.
>> YEAH.
I VAGUELY REMEMBER THAT.
I HAVE, LIKE, A DISTANT, KIND OF... BUT ANYWAY.
( LAUGHTER ) ALL GOOD.
>> Stephen: I HAVE THAT EFFECT ON A LOT OF WOMEN.
"I HAVE A VAGUE, MURKY..."
>> NO, NO.
>> Stephen:... "KIND OF SAD MEMORY OF YOU IN GENERAL."
YOU WERE THE FIRST PERSON I EVER-- A TRUE MOVIE STAR THEY
EVER SAW WORK ON CAMERA.
BECAUSE I REMEMBER THE FIRST SCENE I GOT TO SEE YOU SHOOT
WITH WILL, I THINK, IS WHEN YOU GUYS ARE RUNNING A SCENE IN
CHARACTER AS DARIN AND SAM.
>> RIGHT WILL FARRELL.
>> Stephen: SORRY, WILL FARRELL.
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANY WIL.
COULD HAVE BEEN WILL FARRELL.
>> WILL SMITH.
>> Stephen: WILL SMITH, THAT'S TRUE.
WHAT OTHER WILLS?
>> Stephen: WILLS?
THERE ARE NO OTHER WILLS.
AND I REMEMBER WHEN YOU TURNED TO HIM IN THE SCENE AND HE WAS
SUPPOSED TO TBAWL FALLIN LOVE WITH YOU, AND YOU TURNED ON SOME
LIGHT IN YOUR BODY, AND-- AND EVERYONE ON SET FELL IN LOVE
WITH YOU AT THAT MOMENT.
>> NO!
>> Stephen: NO, I'M NOT JOKING.
AS SOON AS THE SCENE WAS OVER, WILL CAME OVER TO ME AND SAID,
"DID YOU JUST SEE WHAT HAPPENED?
>> STOP!
>> Stephen: TRUE STAR POWER.
>> YOU'RE MAKING THAT UP.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: I PROMISE YOU, I'M
NOT.
I PROMISE YOU I'M NOT.
>> I WISH THAT WAS TRUE.
BUT, ANYWAY... WHAT'S NEXT?
( LAUGHTER ) ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: SO ARE YOU-- ARE YOU THE ONE-- ARE YOU THE ONE
ACTOR ON THE PLANET WHO DOESN'T LIKE TO BE COMPLIMENTED?
BECAUSE I LOVE IT.
>> I'M AUSTRALIAN.
WE DON'T DO WELL WITH COMPLIMENT.
>> Stephen: DO YOU NOT?
>> NO, YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT ABOUT OUR CULTURE?
>> Stephen: THAT IS ALMOST ENGLISH OF YOU TO NOT THINK WELL
OF YOURSELVES.
>> WELL A LOT OF US HAVE ORIGINATED FROM ENGLAND OR
IRELAND.
>> Stephen: IERL, TOO.
YOU'RE A CATHOLIC AND I'M A CATHOLIC.
>> THAT'S VERY GOOD LATIN.
>> Stephen: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
>> I STUDIED LATIN AT SCHOOL.
>> Stephen: SO DID I?
>> DID YOU?
GOSH, WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
>> Stephen: DID YOU DO CAESAR'S GARLIC WARS?
I THINK SO.
I WASN'T VERY GOOD.
>> Stephen: I WAS TERRIBLE.
BUT I LIKE TO PRETEND I WAS GOOD AT MOMENTS LIKE THIS.
>> THE CONJUNCTIONS.
>> Stephen: THE CONJUNCTIONS ARE TERRIBLE, TORTURE!
ABSOLUTELY CHILD ABUSE.
>> OH, MY GOSH!
THAT'S SO GOOD.
THAT'S LOVE IN LATIN.
>> Stephen: THAT IS LOVE IN LATIN.
THAT'S AS LOVING AS THEY CAN POSSIBLY BE.
>> BUT IT HELPS YOU WITH YOUR ITALIAN AND SPANISH, RIGHT?
>> Stephen: DO YOU SPEAK ITALIAN AND SPANISH.
>> POCO.O.
( SPEAKING ITALIAN."
>> SHOW OFF!
>> Stephen: I KNOW.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE TWO EMMYS.
>> GRATSY.
>> Stephen: BOOM!
A TREMENDOUS PERFORMANCE ON A WONDERFUL SHOW.
DEEPLY AFFECTING.
AND AN IMPORTANT STORY TO BE TELLING RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY
WITH WHAT WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT SO MANY WOMEN COMING FORWARD
TALKING ABOUT THEIR OWN STORIES OF ABUSE, AND CERTAINLY YOUR
CHARACTER SUFFERED, YOU KNOW, PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL AND
SEXUAL ABUSE.
>> UH-HUH.
>> Stephen: YOUR COSTAR REESE WITHERSPOON SAID YOU HOPE THIS
BRINGS WOMEN TO THE FRONT OF THEIR OWN STORIES.
HOW DO YOU THINK HOLLYWOOD CAN CONTINUE TO DO THAT?
>> WELL, I MEAN, FOR US, THIS WAS-- YOU KNOW, THIS WAS A
SITUATION WHERE WE WERE FRUSTRATED, BOTH REESE AND I, AT
THE THINGS WE WERE BEING OFFERED.
SO WE WERE ABLE TO GO-- THERE'S THIS GREAT BOOK AND WE SHOULD
OPTION IT AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET IT MADE AND CREATE SOME
GOOD ROLES FOR OURSELVES AND OUR FRIENDS.
AND SUDDENLY THE WHOLE THING SNOWBALLED AND WITHIN A YEAR WE
WERE IN PRODUCTION ON THIS FEMALE-DRIVEN DRAMA THAT TOOK
OFF.
AND IT WAS SO EMBRACED BY THE AUDIENCE.
( APPLAUSE ).
>> Stephen: TRULY AMAZING STORY.
>> BUT IT'S A GREAT STORY TO TELL, AND PARTICULARLY FOR OTHER
WOMEN BECAUSE YOU GO, "OKAY, WELL, WE CAN KIND OF-- OUR POWER
TOGETHER IS STRONG" YOU KNOW.
WE BOTH TRIED INDIVIDUALLY-- REESE FAR MORE SUCCESSFULLY THAN
ME.
AND SHE HAD DONE "WILD" WITH THE DIRECTOR WE WENT WITH ON "BIG
LITTLE LIES."
BUT TO JOIN OUR SOURCES TOGETHER WAS REALLY, REALLY FUN AND GAVE
US FAR MORE OPPORTUNITY.
AND THAT'S A GREAT THING TO BE TELLING, PARTICULARLY THE
YOUNGER GENERATION AS WELL.
YOU CAN DO IT!
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: WELL, IS THERE--
IS THERE-- IS THERE GOING TO BE A SECOND SEASON?
BECAUSE THERE'S A RUMOR THERE'S GOING TO BE A SECOND SEASON?
>> I MEAN, WE WANT TO.
WE'RE INCHING OUR WAY FORWARD BECAUSE WE WANT IT TO BE GOOD,
BUT WE'RE CERTAINLY-- I MEAN, IT'S-- IT'S NOW MOVING FAR MORE
RAPIDLY THAN WE-- THAN, LIKE, SIX MONTHS AGO.
AND WE'RE ALL-- WE'RE ACTUALLY-- PART OF IT IS WE WANT TO EXPLORE
THESE WOMEN AND THEIR STORIES FURTHER.
BUT ALSO WE WANT TO GIVE MORE ROLES TO OTHER-- OTHER PEOPLE IN
THE SERIES, AND PARTICULARLY--
YEAH.
SO WE'RE, LIKE, LET'S GO FOR IT.
>> Stephen: OKAY, SO YOU WON AN OSCAR FOR "THE HOURS."
AND YOU WON TWO EMMYS FOR THIS.
>> I WAS SO GLAD TO WIN THE TWO EMMYS.
>> Stephen: REALLY?
>> BECAUSE I HAVE THE DAUGHTERS, AND TO TAKE HOME ONE AND GO,
"YOU'VE GOT TO SPLIT THIS."
IT WAS AMAZING TO TAKE HOME TWO AND GO, "YOU GET ONE EACH."
>> Stephen: RIGHT.
AND YOU CAN FIGHT WITH THEM, BECAUSE THEY'RE LIKE-- THEY'VE
GOT THOSE WINGS.
WHICH WAS SWEETER, WINNING THE OSCAR OR WINNING THE EMMYS, OR
IS THERE A DIFFERENCE IN THAT FEELING?
>> I TO SAY, WHEN I WON MY OSCAR, I WAS PROBABLY NO-- I WAS
NOT IN A GREAT PLACE IN MY LIFE.
I DIDN'T HAVE A PARTNER TO SHARE IT WITH.
I WAS SORT OF-- I WAS FLAILING EMOTIONALLY AND PERSONALLY, SO
TO WIN AN EMY AND BE IN LOVE AND HAVE MY FAMILY AND-- OH!
( APPLAUSE ) BUT IT MAKES-- IT'S AMAZING!
BECAUSE KEITH AND I WERE ABLE TO GO HOME, AND I ALWAYS SAID WHEN
I WON MY OSCAR, I WENT HOME AND I WAS ALONE.
AND I SORT OF ORDERED SOME ROOM SERVICE, AND THAT WAS IT-- WHICH
I KNOW IS LIKE "OH!" BUT THERE'S SOMETHING INCREDIBLE
ABOUT GOING HOME AND GOING, "BABY!
WE DID IT!"
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID.
>> Stephen: YOUR LOVED ONE IS KEITH URBAN, COUNTRY MUSIC STAR.
AND YOU GUYS LIVE IN NASHVILLE TOGETHER, I UNDERSTAND.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: AND DO YOU LIKE BARBECUE AND BEER AND (BLEEP)
KICKING?
WHAT DO YOU DO IN NASHVILLE?
>> I LIKE BARBECUE, AND I LOVE THE PREDATORS.
I GO AND JUMP UP AND DOWN.
I LOVE ICE HOCKEY.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
>> AND SO OUR TEAM WAS SO GREAT LAST YEAR.
SO... WE'RE HOPING FOR MORE THIS YEAR.
>> Stephen: I UNDERSTAND YOU ALSO--
>> I JUMP UP AND DOWN AND EAT HOT DOGS AND, YOU KNOW.
I DON'T DRINK BEER.
>> Stephen: YOU DON'T DRINK BEER?
>> NO.
>> Stephen: BUT YOU'RE FROM AUSTRALIA DON'T YOU LEGALLY HAVE
TO DRINK BEER?
>> THAT'S PROBABLY WHY I DON'T DRINK BEER.
WE GREW UP DRINKING SHANDIES.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT A SHANDY IS?
>> Stephen: WHAT'S A SHANDY?
>> IT'S LEMONADE AND BEER.
AND IT'S WHAT I WOULD BE GIVEN AS A KID.
>> Stephen: IN AMERICA WE CALL THAT BUD LIGHT LIME, IT'S
TRADITIONAL.
WE GIVE IT TO OUR CHILDREN, HERE, TOO.
LEGALLY I CAN'T SAY THAT.
>> NO, I NEVER HAD A SHANDY WHEN I WAS UNDER 21.
>> Stephen: NO, I UNDERSTAND IT'S DRINKING AGE CAN'T BE 21 IN
AUSTRALIA AUSTRALIA.
>> IT'S 18.
I STILL HAD IT UNDER 18.
>> Stephen: YOU HAVE A NEW DPIM CALLED "THE KILLING OF A
SCARED DEER."
THIS IS BY YORGOS LANTHIMOS.
IT'S HARD FOR ME TO SAY HIS NAME.
HE'S THE GUY WHO DID-- >> HE'S GREEK.
>> Stephen: "THE LOBSTER.
OF THE.
>> YES.
>> Stephen: A HILARIOUS MOVIE, VERY DARK BUT VERY FUNNY
>> AND HE DID ANOTHER FILM, WHICH IS FAR MORE OBSCURE "DOG
TOOTH."
>> Stephen: WHAT IS "THE KILLING OF A SCARED DEER" ABOUT?
>> WELL, IT AIN'T "BAMBI.
OF THE IT'S-- GOSH, IT'S ABOUT-- IT'S ABOUT MANY THINGS.
I CAN'T REALLY EXPLAIN IT.
BUT I'M IN IT.
( LAUGHTER ) AND IT'S VERY --
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN IT AND YOU'RE IN IT.
WE HAVE A GREAT SCENE HERE.
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: OF YOU WITH COLIN FARRELL WHO IS ALSO IN "THE
LOBSTER."
YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THIS SCENE?
YOU'RE BOTH IN THE KITCHEN TOGETHER.
>> YUP.
>> Stephen: ANYTHING ELSE I NEED TO KNOW?
>> NO, I WOULD WATCH THE SCENE.
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT, WE WILL DISCOVER IT TOGETHER.
JIM.
>> DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE BEEN CRAVING?
MASHED POTATO.
WHY DON'T YOU MAKE SOME TOMORROW?
>> YOU HAVE BEAUTIFUL HANDS.
I NEVER NOTICED BEFORE.
EVERYONE'S BEEN TELLING ME LATELY WHAT BEAUTIFUL HANDS YOU
HAVE, AND NOW I CAN SEE FOR MYSELF-- NICE AND CLEAN.
BUT SO WHAT IF THEY'RE BEAUTIFUL?
THEY'RE LIFELESS.
SOMETIMES, STEPHEN, UNIFORM JUST AN INCOMPETENT MAN WHO GOES ON
AND ON SAYING STUPID THINGS LIKE, "LET'S DO A SCAN.
LET'S DO AN ULTRASOUND.
LET'S WEAR BROWN SOCKS.
LET'S MAKE MASHED POTATOES.
LET'S GO TO THE BEACH HOUSE."
>> EXCUSE ME.
>> OUR TWO CHILDREN ARE DYING IN THE OTHER ROOM, BUT, YES, I CAN
MAKE YOU MASHED POTATOES TOMORROW.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: NOT HAPPY.
NOT HAPPY.
>> NO!
>> Stephen: HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET BACK TO AUSTRALIA, BY THE
WAY?
>> ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE TIMES A YEAR.
I MEAN -- >> Stephen: I'VE NEVER BEEN.
WHERE WOULD YOU RECOMMEND I GO?
>> OH, THERE ARE SO MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACE S.
>> Stephen: IT'S A BIG PLACE, I REALIZE.
>> SYDNEY SHOULD BE YOUR FIRST PLACE.
>> Stephen: IS THAT WHERE YOU'RE FROM?
>> YES.
BONDI BEACH.
>> Stephen: "THE KILLING OF A SCARED DEER" IS OUT FRIDAY.
