- Skull Island is not exactly a vacation destination.
- I wouldn't recommend it.
An uncharted island.
Let me list all the ways you're gonna die.
Rain. (explosion booming)
Heat, disease-carrying flies.
And we haven't started on the things
that want to eat you alive.
- If you could choose anyone of your cast
to team up with to survive there,
who would you choose?
- Hmm.
Have you asked this question to everybody else?
- I have.
- And I guarantee you nobody has said me.
- Team up to survive?
- Yes.
- I don't know, I'd probably pick one of the people
that actually live on the island
that we never find out who they are.
'Cause at least they know
what's goin' on and what's happenin' there.
- So you wouldn't choose Tom Hiddleston?
- No.
- (laughing) Well that was an honest answer.
(laughing)
Well, no, nobody really. (laughing)
- Good.
They're absolutely correct.
I think,
John C. Reilly, probably, yeah.
I think he's much more handy than he lets on.
Yeah.
- And he has the coolest beard ever.
- Has the best beard, yeah.
- The devils live below us,
I call 'em Skull Crawlers.
- Why?
- 'Cause it sounds neat.
- Okay.
- Look, I just made that name up.
I'm tryin' to scare ya.
- I'm fine calling them that.
Are you cool with it?
- Yeah, that seems like a
seems like a good... - I like the name.
I'd probably choose John C. Reilly
just because he has some experience, you know?
After playing this character.
I feel like he would be very helpful.
He'd know his way around.
- Do you feel like you would be up for that task?
Would you be a good survivor on Skull Island?
- Yeah, I think so.
They chose me personally, or they chose my character.
- They chose you as John C. Reilly.
- Ah, well.
That's a nice thing to hear.
Yeah, I think so, I think I'd be reliable
in a fox-hole.
I think I'd be someone who would
try my best to survive, yeah.
- Who would you choose?
- Kong.
- Oh, that's clever, nobody said that before.
- Yeah, why would I not...
I would ride around on Kong's shoulder the whole time
like a parrot on (laughing)
someone's shoulder.
Why would I not want him to show me around?
He's the guy who knows all the secrets to the place.
- Tom Hiddleston or John C. Reilly,
they don't have a chance.
- I would, no offense to those guys,
I would choose Kong in a heartbeat.
He might get pissed and kill me.
But no, being able to take any of my cast would be amazing,
because it's an embarrassment of riches,
of, like, incredibly talented, lovely people,
many of which I consider and call my family now.
John would make ya laugh,
Shea Whigham is a dude I would go into the jungle with
'cause he would help you survive for sure.
It would be a pleasure to be stuck on that place
with any of 'em, but
Kong's my man.
