-My next guest is an award-winning actor
who stars in the new series "Jupiter's Legacy,"
which premieres this Friday on Netflix.
Please welcome Josh Duhamel!
Yeah! Oh, my goodness. Wow!
Oh, my goodness!
Thank you for coming back to see us, buddy.
I appreciate this.
I know you've been -- just finished filming a movie
with one of our favorites, Jennifer Lopez.
How is -- How's J. Lo doing?
And that's really what I want to ask.
-[ Laughter ] -She's fantastic.
I mean, I've known her for years.
And it just -- You know, it sort of came --
came to my attention that the job became available,
and I got a chance to, you know, meet with her.
And so it was like -- it was like, you know,
rekindling an old friendship with an old friend.
But then we get to set.
You know, the Dominican is -- It's hot.
Yeah. -And beautiful.
-Yeah. So is -- so is J. Lo.
-Yes, exactly. -So is Josh Duhamel.
Yeah, I mean -- -[ Cheers and applause ]
-Hey, thank you. Thank you, Jimmy.
It was very hot.
And we're sort of on the run from these -- these pirates
and these people that sort of overtook the wedding.
And so I'm like this -- this --
I just crawled out of a river half the time in this movie.
I'm completely soaked and sweaty.
And she's just gorgeous throughout the movie.
So I'm not sure we're going to look like the --
the perfect couple half the time
because I'm, like, this sweaty mess and she's, well --
I mean, she's J. Lo, so...
-No. I'm sure it will work. I'm sure it will work.
You sent us a video, and I got to say
it made me laugh so hard today.
I was watching.
It's a beautiful video of the Dominican Republic.
Do you want to explain what happened before we see it?
Or how do we set it up?
-So I had some time off.
And right below where we were -- where I was sort of staying,
near where my green room was, was this beautiful little cove.
And earlier in the shoot, it was this
perfectly calm, turquoise little cove that I could jump --
I actually jumped off this platform into the water
and swam over to the beach and walked back.
Well, about a week later, this place
was completely different because it was now like --
The ocean was -- was really tumultuous that day.
And the waves were crashing like 30 feet in the air.
Well, this rogue wave comes up as I'm videotaping this thing
and literally washed me almost over the edge of this cliff.
And, you know, thankfully -- -I'm happy you're okay.
-Thankfully there's this razor-sharp coral
that's there that held me up, but it --
it turned me into hamburger
on many parts of my body afterwards.
But it was one of the near-death experiences in my life for sure.
-I'm only laughing because I know you're okay.
But -- -Yeah.
-You guys got to see this video.
It is -- It's just -- I could see you --
I could see you filming, and it was just a disaster.
Watch this.
Beautiful.
[ Laughter ]
-Oh, my God. [ Laughs ]
That's my favorite shot.
[ Laughs ]
-Oh, my God. -Holy...
Oh, my God. Dude, the shot of the sky.
[ Cheers and applause ]
It's like -- Wow! Don't mess with Mother Nature!
You got rocked.
-I cannot believe my phone survived that.
-Me neither. -I can laugh about it now.
And I never told anybody.
You're the first person I've shown that to because
if I had shown that to Lionsgate when we were shooting it,
They would've -- I don't know --
They probably would have kicked me off the movie.
-Yeah, I'm happy that you saved it for our show.
That's what I -- I appreciate it.
I want to talk about your Netflix series,
"Jupiter's Legacy."
This is a big superhero series. Can you set it up for us?
-Yeah. It's a -- It's a script
that I read about a year and a half ago.
Lorenzo di Bonaventura sent it to me.
And I just loved the stor-- I loved more --
as much the superhero aspect as I did the family aspect of it.
And it's really an examination of the psychology
behind what it would be like to be these people.
And there's an origins story that starts in the late --
in the early '30s that goes --
And then we jump back and forth to present time
so you sort of see how they became who they are
and then what the repercussions of that are 90 years later.
And -- And, you know, this guy
can fly around the world in 12 seconds
and shoot laser beams out of his eyeballs,
but he can't communicate with his 20-year-old daughter.
And I found that to be fascinating.
-Yeah. You do play -- You go all over the place.
Here's you at the age of 120 years old that you play.
-Yeah. Obviously, there's a muscle suit there.
I don't know if you know this, Jimmy, but I don't normally
look that muscular in real life.
-Uh, yeah, I don't know if anyone's
looking at your muscles in this costume.
[ Laughter ]
Maybe I'm wrong.
[ Applause ]
-But, you know, there's the makeup and the prosthetics
and the wig and the beard, and then that muscle suit
and the cape and the suit and all that stuff.
You really feel like you've been through it --
like you've been through 90 years of battles.
And I'm very proud of the series.
I think people are going to love it.
-Yeah. I want to show everyone a clip. It's great.
Here's Josh Duhamel in "Jupiter's Legacy."
Take a look.
-There's a million things you could have done.
You took the easy way out.
-Did that look easy to you?!
-Sheldon!
-Go! You wait for me at the union.
[ Whoosh ]
Contact the Supermax.
I want to know how Blackstar got out.
-On it.
[ Whirring ]
-You okay?
-No.
-Our son took a life.
After everything we've taught him, he broke the code.
-[ Cheers and applause ] -Josh Duhamel!
"Jupiter's Legacy" premieres this Friday on Netflix.
