-Oh, by the way, let me say one thing.
-Sure. -Because I have an 11-year-old.
-Oh, yeah. -His name is Jerónimo.
And they're huge fans.
Everyone in his school, in his classroom,
are huge fans of this show,
even though they're not supposed to watch it, right?
-Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, it depends how cool their parents are.
[ Laughter ]
You're very cool, yeah. -But I just wanted you to --
-They watch us on TV?
-Well, I guess on YouTube or something.
-Yeah, YouTube. That's where all the kids watch.
No way. So he's watching right now?
-He's watching right now. -Hey, buddy! Hey.
Hi, buddy! How you doing? Your dad is awesome.
I love your dad. He's so cool.
[ Cheers and applause ]
He's the coolest! He's the coolest!
You really actually are the coolest.
-Thank you very much. -I've got to talk about this.
You're going to be in the "Rogue One" prequel.
-That's correct. -For Disney Plus.
-Yeah. -Now -- Look.
Already you're distracted.
'Cause you're not allowed to say anything about it, right?
-I've got to start to -- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got to look distracted. -You got to make things up.
-Sorry. You were ta-- saying...
[ Laughter ]
-What can you say? -Uh, nothing.
-Wow! -Nothing. Well, I mean --
-No spoilers. Nothing. But you are --
-Obviously nothing. -You are in it, though.
-I'm in it, and I can't say anything, but not because
I don't want to or because of a contract.
It's because they don't tell me anything.
[ Laughter ] No, really.
They don't trust me, I think.
-Rea-- Why would they not trust you?
-Because I like mezcal, man, and I tend to...
[ Laughter ]
I tend to get drunk. -Mezcal? [ Laughs ]
-I tend to get drunk and say things.
You know, I also used to leave my script --
While we were shooting "Rogue One,"
I used to leave my script everywhere.
They realized that.
I was single, so it's also kind of cool.
Like, "Oh, you wanna know what the film is?"
[ Laughter ] -You use it to pick up girls.
-Or whatever. Meeting, like, friends.
-Yeah, whenever you want to meet people, sure.
But, I mean, do you remember getting cast in the orig--
in the movie? Was that a big deal for you?
-It was huge. I couldn't believe it.
I was invited to a restaurant in L.A.
The director was sitting there.
And he started talking about the film,
and I was like, "Okay. Interesting."
And then he was all the time saying like, "There's this role,
and then this guy does this, and then this guy does that."
And I'm just wondering like,
"When's he gonna ask for Gael's number?"
or something like that. -Gael Garcia?
-"Do you know Gael?
Because we really want him to play the role."
-You thought he needed you
to get your friend to be in the movie?
-Something like that.
I was like, "Why is he telling me the story?
I'm gonna go out and tell it out there."
-Yeah, exactly, yeah. -And then at the end,
he goes like, "Yeah, and I would love you to play it."
-Wow. -I go like, "No."
-That's a game-changer. That's a game-changer.
-Well, I mean --
-You got that, you got "Narcos." Come on, man.
-No, no. That was bigger than anything.
-It really is giant. -I love watching those films.
-Yeah. You, uh --
I heard a rumor that the name of the show is "White Snake."
-What do you mean?
[ Laughter ]
-I mean, no big deal. You can say it.
It's not a big deal. We're cool, right?
-Which show? Which show? -We're cool.
-You mean -- -What's that?
-Which show?
-I was just talking about your show, the "Rogue One" prequel.
-Sorry. My English is just very limited.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-¿Cómo se dice "White Snake"?
[ Laughter ]
-To be honest, in Spanish, it sounds like a porn movie.
[ Laughter ]
Not a show for kids. -Can you -- Can you --
Si. "La Serpiente Blanca."
Where did you get that from? I mean --
-I heard "White Snake" is the name.
That's the rumor going around on all the blogs.
-I'm quitting if that's true.
-No. Really? So it's not "White Snake"?
-Do you really like that title? -No.
-Me neither. -It makes no sense.
-No sense. -Who made that up?
-"White Snake." -"White Snake." No.
-I mean, no, it's not. -Okay.
-I think you have to --
You have to stop reading newspapers and all the...
-[ Laughs ] Get off the Internet.
-Yeah. -Get off the Internet. Yeah.
I want to talk to you about -- 'Cause when you did do press
for the movie, for "Rogue One,"
which was the biggest thing of all time,
you kept saying something in an interview.
Do you know what I'm talking about?
-[ Laughs ] Yeah, of course.
-Why would you -- -I'm such an idiot.
Well, I mean, I come from doing, you know, promotions of films
where they don't want to know anything about the film.
-Yeah, of course. -And now you arrive,
and you have to ask yourself the questions, you know?
It's like, "Oh, do you want to know what the film is about?
Okay. Let me tell you." -Yeah. You ask yourself.
-But then I get to the "Star Wars" world,
and it's the opposite.
You say one thing, and it haunts you forever.
-Yeah. Let me show you what -- -Oh, no.
-We put a little compilation of Diego Luna. Check it out.
-Jabba. I have always wanted to touch him.
I like -- The texture of Jabba is something I need to discover.
And the texture. -[ Laughs ] And just like...
-[ Laughs ] The texture.
I'm very curious to actually touch that texture.
Jabba. Come on.
Touching his, you know, like, his belly.
Like, ooh! I am so tempted.
I mean, this is -- -"Yabba."
[ Laughter ]
Yabba. Yabba the Hutt?
-Yeah, obviously Jabba the Hutt. -Yabba the Hutt.
-Come on. I watch...
-You want to feel the texture. The texture --
-The texture of Jabba's belly.
I mean, but that was one interview.
Then I was asked --
I was asked and asked and asked about Jabba.
It suddenly started to feel like I was in love with Jabba.
[ Laughter ]
It's not. I'm sorry.
I got to tell you. I gotta talk to my son. Sorry.
-Yes, talk to -- Yeah. -Hey, Jerónimo.
I'm not in love with Jabba.
That was one big mistake I made.
-Do you --
-But I have, like, seven Jabbas at home.
Everyone gives me Jabbas. You know?
It's like, "Ah, what is the best gift for Diego?
He turned 40. Oh, you're Jabba."
I'm like, "No!"
-Is Jabba gonna be in "Rogue One"?
-I hope Baby Jabba, no?
Now that it's all about babies.
-That would be the cute--
Oh, Baby Jabba the Hutt?
-Can you imagine? -Oh, no.
That's so cute.
start that rumor. Now you're in trouble.
-Please. You're gonna edit.
-No. [ Laughs ]
We can't edit it. We're live. -Sorry.
-Let's talk about "Narcos: Mexico."
-Let's do it. -You're fantastic.
Do you want to set it up for anyone who hasn't seen it?
-Yeah. "Narcos: Mexico" is the story of the '80s in Mexico,
how the madness started, the madness we're living today.
It's a very powerful series, I think,
because it's somehow connects
with the world we are living in without you knowing.
By the end you go like, "Holy crap.
That's why the violence today.
That's why what we're going through today."
And for me, it's an interesting way to tell the world
that the violence we're living in Mexico these days
belongs to all of us, you know?
-Yeah. -Market is here.
This is a global issue,
you know, and we're getting the violence.
And this story tells you why we're getting the violence
and what's happening and how much
this is not a story of good and bad people, you know?
There is many layers there. -Yeah.
-And corruption is everywhere. You know?
-You do such a great job acting in this, I will say,
just to compliment you while you're here.
But you don't play -- 'Cause you are a bad guy.
-Yeah.
-But you don't play it like a villain.
You're actually just -- Right?
-Well, you cannot judge a character as an actor, you know?
Then I step back, and I don't justify his actions.
But when I'm playing it, I have to understand
why he's doing what he's doing,
so I have to find a way to connect with the character.
You know? And that's the job we have.
And that's the beauty of our job.
We are playing a gang there,
and we are trying to make a character real.
Now I step back, and I see the story,
and I am so glad, like, we end shooting the second season,
because it's -- it's -- it's exhausting.
You know? The material is hardcore.
But then I go back home, and I cannot tell my kids where I was.
You know?
-You can't tell your kids what you did all day.
-Yeah, of course. It's like, "Yeah.
I was just talking about killing so many people
while intoxicating half of the planet."
-You should just talk about Yabba and the texture.
That's all you gotta talk about, is the texture.
