I'm so excited that I'm your first talk show.
I know.
This is crazy.
It's really exciting.
I mean, I came in saying we have to have Noah Jupe on.
He's so, so special, so good.
And you happen to be in town for one day.
You're here today.
Yeah, I mean, thank you for having me.
This is like-- this is pretty cool.
Yeah, well.
It's cool for you to be here for me.
So we've met before, someone tells me.
But I don't remember meeting you.
No, it's fine.
I don't really remember it either.
11 was a strange year.
No, when I was filming Suburbicon with George Clooney
and I think we were walking to crafty or something.
And I remember it was just outside this stage
or wherever you were filming on this lot.
And you were riding your bike out.
And you just said hi to me as you were riding along.
And it was great.
Oh.
I was like, yep, I just met Ellen.
Oh, that's right.
I remember.
So let's talk about Honeyboy, because it's
getting great reviews.
And Shia was here and you play him.
It's loosely -- it's his story.
Yeah, it's I mean, it's based on his life
because he wrote his story and the events
that he went through.
And then he passed the baton along to us
to create this character of Otis.
And he named them different to himself
so that we had the freedom to do what we like.
And some of the events didn't actually happen to him.
And that was bits that were missed out.
So it's loosely based on his life.
And did you find it easy or harder
to play knowing you're playing him?
Ooh, I've never been asked that.
I guess easier because I actually
asked him a lot of questions about his childhood
and his life.
And it was good having him there to talk to.
Yeah, because he was a child actor.
So that's why-- and you're playing him.
And you are a child actor as well.
Yes.
You started-- you're 14 now.
How old were you when you started?
I think I was nine when I got my first job.
I'm pretty sure most kids dream of being a movie star.
So that was there.
And I was interested in that sense.
But it wasn't until I actually got on the set
and worked and experienced being on the set
that I fell in love with it.
Yeah, I mean, you're really so raw and good in this.
I mean, you cry, and it's just so--
I mean, everything feels like--
you're really good.
Well, I'm happy you're getting something out of my tears.
Yeah, I did.
I got something out of your tears.
And that sweet little kiss when you kissed that woman's eyelid,
I was like, that is just the sweetest scene.
Oh, she had a nice eyelid.
Well, it was a sweet kiss on her eyelid.
You're just fantastic.
Thank you.
And you're in Ford v Ferrari.
Yes.
And then you're in another movie coming up,
which is Quiet Place II.
Quiet Place II.
Yeah, you're working a lot.
I think we're going to see a whole lot of you.
And you're so good.
I'm so happy to meet you.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
I'm so happy to be here.
Thank you.
And anytime.
When you're here, just come hang out.
Great, I'm in.
It's called Honeyboy.
It's a great film, and he's amazing in it.
Shia's amazing in it.
It's in theaters now.
We'll be back.
