( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: HEY, EVERYBODY.
WELCOME BACK.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, MY NEXT GUEST TONIGHT IS A GOLDEN GLOBE
WINNER YOU KNOW FROM THE "KICK-ASS" MOVIES AND
QUICKSILVER "THE AVENGERS."
HIS NEW FILM IS "THE WALL."
>> YOU GOT EYES ON HIM?
I THINK I GOT A SHOT.
>> I'M GOING FOR IT, MAN.
YOU GOT EYES?
>> NO, NO, NO, NO!
HE'D SHOOT YOU BEFORE YOU CAN GET-- YOU HEAR ME?
>> I'M HERE.
>> Stephen: PLEASE WELCOME AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON.
♪ ♪ ♪ ( APPLAUSE )
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: AS I WAS SAYING TO
THE PEOPLE, WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
AS I WAS SAYING TO THE PEOPLE WHEN I INTRODUCED YOU, THEY KNOW
YOU FROM THE "KICK-ASS" MOVIES AND "THE AVENGERS."
"NOWHERE BOY" "SAVAGES" "ANA KARENINA" "NOCTURNAL ANIMALS."
YOU HAVE SO MANY ONSCREEN LOOKS HERE.
HERE ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON
RIGHT THERE.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD NECESSARILY RECOGNIZE YOU IF I
SAW YOU IN THE STREET.
DO YOU GET RECOGNIZED A LOT BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY
DIFFERENT LOOKS HERE?
>> SOMETIMES.
OCCASIONALLY I'VE BEEN MISTAKEN FOR OTHER ACTORS AS WELL.
WHICH HAS BEEN CONFUSING.
>> Stephen: THAMS, THAT HAPPENS.
>> YEAH.
YEAH.
THE WORST TIME WAS ACTUALLY OLIVER STONE WHEN ACTUALLY
"SAVAGES" WAS-- IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I ACTUALLY GOT A
STRAIGHT-UP OFFER FOR A ROLE, ESPECIALLY FOR A LEADING ROLE.
>> Stephen: LIKE, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO AUDITION.
THEY JUST SAID YOU CAN HAVE THE THING.
>> I DIDN'T HAVE TO AUDITION, WHICH WAS BIZARRE TO ME.
IT WAS ACTUALLY QUITE SHOCKING.
AND IT TRANSPIRED THAT HE THOUGHT I WAS-- HE WAS TRYING TO
EXPLAIN TO THE OTHER CAST LIKE, YOU KNOW, HOW HE CAST ME.
"I SAW THIS FANTASTIC PERFORMANCE OF YOU.
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS CALLED BUT YOU WERE WEARING A
BLACK LEATHER JACKET IN IT."
AND I SAID NOWHERE BOY."
>> AND HE SAID, "NO.
YOU WERE PLAYING CARDS AND REALLY BRILLIANT AND YOU DID
THIS THING AND YOU LAID IT DOWN."
AND I WAS TRYING TO THINK WHAT IS THAT?
AND RIGHT AT THAT TIME, "21" WAS REALLY BIG, RIGHT.
AND I WALKED OUT KIND OF GOING, OKAY, GREAT.
AND I WAS REALLY EMBARRASSED BECAUSE HE WAS KIND OF BRAGGING
IN FRONT OF A BUNCH OF PEOPLE.
AND I WAS LIKE, "THANKS FOR THAT."
AND I WALK AWAY AGAIN AND HE THOUGHT I WAS JIM STURGIS.
>> Stephen: SO HE CAST YOU FROM A MOVIE HE SAW YOU IN BUT
HE DIDN'T SEE YOU, HE SAW JIM STURGIS.
>> JIM STURGIS DID A FANTASTIC JOB AND I GOT THE JOB.
>> Stephen: CONGRATULATIONS.
CONGRATULATIONS.
THAT IS REALLY EASY WORK.
>> YEAH, I MEAN -- >> Stephen: DID YOU EVER TELL
HIM HE WAS WRONG?
>> NO, THAT WAS THE FIRST-- I FEEL A BIT NERVOUS NOW, THIS IS
THE FIRST -- >> Stephen: THIS IS HOW HE'S
FINDING OUT YOU'RE NOT JIM STURGIS?
>> YES, UNFORTUNATELY.
>> Stephen: THEY'VE ALREADY PAID YOU AND EVERYTHING, RIGHT?
>> YEAH.
I SHOULD REALLY THANK JIM FOR THAT.
I'VE NEVER MET HIM, EITHER.
BUT ANYWAY...
>> Stephen: THE NEW MOVIE THAT YOU'RE IN "THE WALL," YOU PLAY A
U.S. SOLDIER.
AND YOU SAY YOU GAINED 30 POUNDS FOR IT?
>> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IS THAT TO PLAY A SOLDIER OR TO PLAY AN AMERICAN?
( LAUGHTER ).
>> I BETTER NOT ANSWER THAT ONE.
BUT-- ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: HOW DID YOU DO IT?
I ALWAYS HEAR ABOUT THESE STORIES LIKE DE NIRO BULKY UP
FOR "RAGING BULL."
DID YOU DO IT IN A FUN WAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> I JUST WANTED TO PACK ON THE POUNDS SO I GOT REALLY INTO
EATING IN AND OUT BURGER.
AND I ALMOST GOT INTO--
>> Stephen: OH!
OH, THAT'S FANTASTIC.
>> I KNEW THERE WAS THIS WHOLE NEW-- THIS NEW WAY OF-- THIS
MENU YOU DON'T -- >> Stephen: SECRET MENU.
>> SECRET MENU, WHICH IS A NEW WHOLE WORLD FOR ME.
IT OPENED UP THE FOUR "X" FOUR, THE ANIMAL STYLE.
I WOULD HAVE TWO 4 X FOURs BY 11 A.M.
THAT'S THE KIND OF STUFF I WAS EATING WITH A MILK SHAKE, WHICH
IS-- YOU KNOW, TRYING TO SUCK THAT STUFF OUT WITH A BURGER.
YOU GET INDIGESTION.
>> Stephen: I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU.
THAT SOUNDS FANTASTIC!
>> RIGHT.
>> Stephen: NOW, JOHN CENA IS IN THIS MOVIE.
IT'S YOU AND JOHN CENA FOR THE BULK OF THE MOVIE THERE.
AND HE'S LYING ON THE GROUND THERE.
NOW, DOES JOHN CENA NEED TO YOU PLAY IN A WAR MOVIE?
COULDN'T JOHN CENA JUST TAKE A WHOLE COUNTRY BY HIMSELF?
HE'S A HUGE GUY.
>> HE'S A BIG DUDE.
HE HAS ARMS ABOUT THE SIZE OF MY THIGH S.
>> Stephen: LET ME SEE YOUR NIEPS I'VE MET JOHN CENA.
THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.
>> AT THE END OF THE DAY.
HE WAS BUSY, WE ONLY HAD HIM FOR FOUR DAYS, AND HE'D COME IN AND
OUT FROM PLACES AND HE'D GET UP FROM LAYING IN THE DIRT, COVERED
IN SANDSTORM CRAP AND EVERYTHING.
AND YOU'D SEE THIS 250-POUND MAN SQUEEZE INTO A THREE-PIECE SUIT
AND JET OFF TO TOKYO OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW.
>> Stephen: TO DO SOME WRESTLING OR SOMETHING LIKE
THAT?
>> WE WERE IN THE DESERT AS WELL, LITERALLY, THE SHOES, THE
THREE-PIECE SHOES, PINK SHIRT, TIE.
REMARKAB.
>> Stephen: IT WAS LOVELY TO MEET YOU.
THANK SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
"THE WALL" IS IN THEATERS THIS FRIDAY.
AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH DAVE MATTHEWS.
