( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ).
>> HELLO! >> Stephen: HELLO.
SO-- SO NICE TO TALK TO YOU. I'VE NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO
INTERVIEW YOU BEFORE. BUT I-- I JUST FOUND OUT,
SHORTLY BEFORE THE SHOW, THAT I HAVE ACTUALLY HAD YOU ON MY SHOW
BEFORE, THE OLD SHOW. >> YEAH.
>> Stephen: IN 2014. OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> YEAH. A LONG TIME AGO.
>> Stephen: YEAH, SO EIGHT YEARS AGO, YOU CAME ON AND
PLAYED KEYBOARDS IN A BAND FOR A MOVIE CALLED "FRANK."
>> YEAH. >> Stephen: THAT IS RIGHT
THERE, MICHAEL FASBENDER IN THE HEAD.
AND THAT'S YOU RIGHT THERE. PLAYING KEYBOARDS RIGHT THERE.
( APPLAUSE )
THE IDEA WAS THE BAND'S NAME >> THAT'S RIGHT, YEAH. WAS
UNPRONOUNCABLE. AND YOU NAILED IT.
( APPLAUSE ).
.I LIKE TO DO THAT. >> YOU CAN IMAGINE MY DISMAY
WHEN A FEW WEEKS AGO YOU HAD STEVE CARELL ON THE SHOW, AND
YOU SAID, "NOW, IN THIS SERIES YOU ARE WITH DOMHNALL GLEESON."
IT WAS A CAR CRASH. IT WAS A MESS.
>> Stephen: YOU CAN'T BLAME ME.
IRISH NAMES ARE IMPOSSIBLE. >> I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS
FROM A COAL-BERT.
SORRY ABOUT THAT. >> THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
>> Stephen: YOU KNOW, THE OTHER GUEST WE HAVE ON TONIGHT
IS THE GREAT CATE BLANCHETT, AND HAVE YOU WORKED WITH HER BEFORE?
>> I'VE NEVER-- I'VE NEVER WORKED WITH HER.
BUT I MET HER ONCE BEFORE, AND IT WAS A BIG-- LIKE, A BIG DEAL
FOR ME BECAUSE I LOVE HER AS AN ACTOR, OBVIOUSLY.
WHEN I WAS 19 I DID MY FIRST JORK A MARTIN McDONOUGH PLAY,
THAT TIME FOR SOME REASON-- NO, I KNOW THE REASON.
PEOPLE USED TO CALL ME CATE ALL THE TIME.
MY WHOLE CAST WOULD CALL ME CATE.
BECAUSE I LOOKED REALLY LIKE CATE BLANCHETT WHEN I WAS 19
YEARS OLD. SHE DOESN'T DO THAT.
SHE DOESN'T DO THAT. >> Stephen: NO, I SEE IT, THE
BONE-- THE BONE STRUCTURE IS THERE, EXACTLY.
>> YEAH, YEAH. AND IT WAS REALLY INTENSE.
I WOULD WALK DOWN THE STREET AND PEOPLE WOULD STOP ME --
>> Stephen: YOU MEAN NOT PEOPLE PULLING YOUR LEGS.
>> PEOPLE WOULD STOP ME AND STRANGERS. SAY,
"DO YOU KNOW--" AND I WOULD SAY, "YES, I KNOW, I LOOK LIKE CATE
BLANCHETT." AND THEY WOULD SAY, "I'M VERY
SORRY, SCBTS LEAVE. WHEN I MET HER YEARS LATER, IT
WAS KIND OF LIKE BACKSTAGE AT THE BAFTAs-- I'VE BEEN TO
THE-- I WAS NOT NOMINATED. SHE WAS.
AND I MET HER IN A CORRIDOR RIGHT BEFORE IT.
AND SOMEBODY INTRODUCED ME. AND I WAS JUST THINKING, DON'T
SAY, "WE LOOK-- DO YOU GET PEOPLE SAYING YOU LOOK LIKE
DOMHNALL GLEESON!" AND I WAS LIKE DON'T, DON'T DO
IT. DON'T GET WEIRD WITH THE GREAT
CATE BLANCHETT. >> Stephen: HARD NOT TO.
>> I SAID, "I'M A HUGE FAN OF YOUR WORK.
I'D LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU SOME DAY, AND IT'S A PLEASURE TO MEET
YOU." AND SHE WAS VERY NICE BACK.
AND I WALKED AWAY, STRAIGHT INTO THE WOMEN'S BATHROOM.
( LAUGHTER )
STARRING IN "THE PATIENT" WITH MY OLD BUDDY, STEVE CARELL, AS
YOU POINTED OUT. HE'S A VERY-- HE'S A VERY
PLEASANT GUY. HE'S A LOVELY FELLOW.
DID YOU HAVE FUN WORKING WITH HIM?
>> I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. I MEAN, IT'S QUITE A SERIOUS
SHOW. IT'S VERY TENSE.
IT'S DRAMATIC-- IT'S FUNNY IN PLACES AND ALL THE REST.
BUT STEVE, LIKE, SO THE SETUP OF THE SHOW IS I PLAY A SERIAL
KILLER WHO KIDNAPS A THERAPIST AND KEEPS HIM CHAINED UP IN MY
BASEMENT TO DO THERAPY WITH ME. SO THAT I WILL NOT KILL AGAIN.
>> Stephen: STEVE SAID HE INSISTED ON REAL CHAINS.
AND WITH A FULL-ON MANACLE, >> HE WAS. AND
IT WAS REALLY A KIND OF HE COULDN'T LEAVE. INTENSE
AND KIND OF HEAVY FOR HIM. AND WE'D BE LEAVING IN THE
EVENINGS, AND HE WOULD BE SAYING-- I THINK IT WAS GETTING
ON TOP OF HIM. IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT.
OKAY?" "YES, IT'S A HEAVY LOAD AND I WOULD SAY, "ARE YOU TO
CARRY." AND I WOULD SAY, "YES."
BECAUSE I WAS DOING FINE. >> Stephen: YOU WERE PLAYING
THE PSYCHO. >> I'M KILLING PEEP, DRIVING
AROUND IN MY TRUCK. I'M FINE.
HE WAS JUST CHAINED UP THE WHOLE TIME.
>> Stephen: WHAT WAS IT LIKE-- LIKE DID YOU HAVE TO FIND A PART
OF YOURSELF THAT WOULDN'T MIND STRANGLING PEOPLE?
>> YEAH. AND IT WAS --
>> Stephen: HOW HARD WAS THAT FOR YOU TO--
WHEN I WAS WATCHING THE SHOW >> IT WAS RIGHT THERE. AND
YOU MISPRONOUNCED MY NAME I'M LIKE I'M GOING TO ( BLEEP ).
>> Stephen: NOW, I'VE GOT YOUR DAD, BRENDAN GLEASON-- DID I
PRONOUNCE HIS NAME CORRECTLY? >> NO.
>> Stephen: OKAY. HE'S MY GUEST ON MONDAY.
>> YES. >> Stephen: ANYTHING I SHOULD
HOW SHOULD I-- HOW SHOULD I ASK HIM? NAIL
HIM? >> WHAT?
SAY MY NAME. >> Stephen: DOMHNALL.
>> YOU CAN ASK HIM WHY HE NAMED ME THAT WAY.
( LAUGHTER )
THIS HAS BEEN A CROSS FOR YOU TO BEAR, PEOPLE MISPRONOUNCING YOUR
>> MY BROTHER'S NAME IS BRIE NAME. -AN,
BUT IT'S SPELLED BRIAN. THERE'S NO GIVEAWAY.
>> Stephen: THAT'S CRUELTY. THAT WOULD BE LIKE BEING NAMED
COLBERT AND SPELLING IT COAL-BERT.
>> INSANE, YEAH.
THERE'S YOU AND YOUR BROTHER, BRIAN.
THERE'S YOU, THERE'S BRIAN. THERE'S YOUR DAD.
WHAT'S IT LIKE TO PERFORM WITH THE FAMILY?
>> IT'S THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD.
>> Stephen: REALLY? >> YES.
THEY'RE LIKE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE. I'VE GOT TWO OTHER BROTHERS WHO
ARE ALSO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE, AND MY MAM.
AS A GROUP, THEY'RE MY FAVORITE PEOPLE.
AND GETTING TO WORK WITH GREAT PEOPLE WHO ARE ALSO GREAT AT
JOYS OF GETTING TO WORK IN WHAT THEY DO IS ONE OF THE SHOW BIZ
OR WHATEVER. >> Stephen: BECAUSE YOU'RE
FAMILY, AND WHEN IT'S OVER, DO THEY GIVE YOU NOTES?
DO THEY GIVE YOU FAMILY NOTES. >> DO NOT TRY TO BREAK UP THE
GLEASONS STEPHEN. WE WILL BREAK YOU.
>> Stephen: THAT'S FAIR ENOUGH.
NEW EPISODES OF "THE PATIENT" ARE AVAILABLE ON HULU ON
TUESDAYS. DOMHNALL GLEESON, EVERYBODY.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
