>>> AND NOW BACK TO THE AWESOME SAVANNAH.
SAVANNAH. >> OH, THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>>> YOU KNOW IT’S GOING TO BE A
GOOD MORNING IN THE STUDIO
BECAUSE KEVIN HART IS HERE.
>> THAT’S TRUE.
>> IT IS TRUE.
HE IS FACT-CHECKING ME RIGHT
NOW.
NOW. THE TALENTED COMEDIAN GROUTBROUG
SNOWBALL THE RABBIT IN "THE
SECRET LIFE OF PETS."
HE IS BACK FOR THE SEQUEL WHICH
SEES SNOWBALL PROTECTING THE
CITY FROM EEFR DOERSVIL DOERS OF
KIND.
KIND. >> WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
>> WHAT’S IT LOOK LIKE I’M
DOING?
DOING? LOOKING FOR CRIME, TINY DOG.
DOING SUPERHERO STUFF.
HA HA.
HA HA. LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING.
ANYBODY COMES HERE LOOKING FOR
TROUBLE, THEY ARE GOING TO MEET
MY PARTNERS PAW AND ORDER.
>> GOOD MORNING, KEVIN.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> WAS THERE ANY DOUBT YOU WOULD
BE BRINGING SNOWBALL BACK WHEN
THEY DID "SECRET LIFE OF PETS"
2?
2? >> I DON’T THINK SO.
I HAD SUCH A BLAST WITH THE
FIRST ONE.
FIRST ONE. THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT I
WAS OFF OF THE ROLE OF A
VILLAIN.
VILLAIN. OF COURSE, I JUMPED IN, TOOK
FULL ADVANTAGE OF IT.
AND THE JOURNEY AND THE STORY
THAT WAS BEING TOLD I THINK WAS
SO UNIQUE THAT I WAS ABLE TO
KIND OF JUST REALLY SINK MY
TEETH INTO THE CHARACTER AND
DEVELOP HIM IN SUCH A FUN AND
FUNNY WAY THAT EVERYBODY
GRAVITATED TOWARDS.
GRAVITATED TOWARDS. >> DID THEY GIVE YOU A LITTLE
LEEWAY?
LEEWAY? >> THEY GAVE ME A LOT.
THEY GAVE ME A LOT OF LEEWAY.
A LOT.
A LOT. KEVIN, YOU ARE IN THE BOOTH.
DO WHAT YOU WANT.
WE WILL FIGURE IT OUT.
>> I LOVE IT.
>> IF YOU LOOK AT SNOWBALL, YOU
CAN SEE A LOT OF MY MANNERISMS.
EVEN FROM FACIAL EXPRESSIONS.
HIS EYE FROM SAD TO ANGRY TO
CONCERNED TO CHARMING WITH THE
PHYSICALITY.
PHYSICALITY. LIKE THEY JUST TOOK ALL OF THE
IMAGES AND ALL OF THE VIDEO FROM
ME IN THE BOOTH AND PUT IT INTO
HIM.
HIM. IT’S DOPE.
IT’S DOPE. >> DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING IN
COMMON WITH SNOWBALL?
>> I HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
>> YOUR SUPERHERO, OBVIOUSLY?
>> I AM ALREADY A SUPERHERO.
EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT.
I AM NOT HUMAN.
BUT WITH SNOWBALL WHAT I LOVED
IS HIS ABILITY TO GO FROM VERY
CALM TO ANGRY TO ENSECURE, YOU
KNOW?
KNOW? IT’S THE QUICKEST CHANGE OF,
NOW, DO IT THIS WAY?
WAIT, IS THAT OKAY?
IT’S JUST THE LEVELS OF UP AND
DOWN.
DOWN. AND I THINK MY ABILITY TO
BASICALLY PUT THOSE LEVELS ON
DISPLAY CONSISTENTLY IS WHERE WE
SHARE SIMILARITIES.
SHARE SIMILARITIES. >> DO YOU LIKE ANY PETS?
>> I LIKE MY PETS.
>> WHAT PETS DO YOU HAVE?
>> TWO DOGS, ROXY AND RIGGS.
MY DOGS ARE FINE.
I DON’T LIKE OTHER PEOPLE’S
PETS.
PETS. >> OTHER PEOPLE’S DOGS?
ONLY YOUR DOGS?
>> I ONLY LIKE MY DOGS.
I DON’T WANT TO MEET NOBODY
ELSE’S DOGS.
ELSE’S DOGS. I DON’T NEED TO BE AROUND OTHER
PEOPLE’S PETS.
PEOPLE’S PETS. I DON’T NEED TO SEE THEM.
I HAVE NO FEELING AT OUR OR
EMOTION TOWARDS THEM.
>> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT OTHER
PEOPLE’S KIDS?
PEOPLE’S KIDS? SAME THINGS?
SAME THINGS? >> I DON’T NEED TO BE AROUND
NOBODY ELSE’S KIDS.
IF I HAVE TO, I WILL.
>> YOUR KIDS ARE CUTE.
>> MY KIDS ARE AMAZING.
>> I HEARD THAT THIS MOVE HAS A
GOOD MESSAGE FOR PARENTING.
>> IT DOES.
>> NOT TO BE LIKE A HELICOPTER
HOVERING PARENT?
HOVERING PARENT? >> NO.
>> NO. IT’S A GOOD MESSAGE, ONE THAT I
CAN RELATE TO BECAUSE I HAVE A
TEENAGER.
TEENAGER. YOU KNOW MY DAUGHTER IS AT THAT
PAGE WHERE I HAVE TO START
LETTING GO.
LETTING GO. >> ARE YOU GOOD AT THIS, LETTING
GO?
GO? >> I AM GETTING BETTER.
I AM NOT OVERBEARING.
I AM UNDERSTANDING.
IN THIS MOVIE THERE IS A MESSAGE
SIMPLY GIVING US THE ENCOURAGING
NOD TO SAY YOU CAN BE THERE AND
STILL SUPPORT, YOU KNOW, YOUR
CHILD IN THEIR GROWTH BECAUSE IF
YOU DON’T ALLOW SOMEONE TO GROW,
YOU ARE NOT ALLOWING THEM TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF EXPERIENCES.
>> IT’S TRUE.
>> AND BETWEEN MAX AND DUKE AND
THEM NOW HAVING A NEW BABY IN
THEIR LIFE, THEY ARE SO
OVERPROTECTIVE AND THEY HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THE BABY HAS TO
GROW, THE BABY HAS TO LEARN.
>> YOU ARE NOT FOLLOWING YOUR
DAUGHTER OUT ON DATES OR
ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
>> I DIDN’T SAY THAT.
I DIDN’T SAY I AM NOT DOING
THAT.
THAT. I DON’T NEED THE WORLD TO KNOW
IF I WAS.
IF I WAS. I AM UNDERSTANDING THAT SHE IS
JUST AT A POINT WHERE SHE WANTS
TO DO MORE AND SHE IS EXCITED
ABOUT INDEPENDENCE.
ABOUT INDEPENDENCE. SO I HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT I’M
JUST, YOU KNOW, VERY COOL ABOUT
IT.
IT. IN FRONT OF HER, I’M VERY COOL.
IT’S WHEN SHE LEAVES I AM LIKE,
NO, IT AIN’T GONNA HAPPEN.
>> YOU ARE PUTTING THE TRACKING
DEVICE ON?
DEVICE ON? >> YEAH.
>> YEAH. >> YOU HAVE A BIG BIRTHDAY IN
JULY?
JULY? >> YES.
>> YES. >> THE BIG 4-0?
>> YES.
>> YES. >> HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THAT?
>> MY BACK HURTS.
>> FEELING MORE MIDDLE-AGED.
>> I DO.
>> I DO. I FELL THE OTHER DAY.
IT WAS SCARY.
>> WERE YOU DANCING AT THE TIME?
>> YOU GOT IT.
THERE IT IS.
>> WE DO.
>> WE DO. I THINK WE HAVE THE ACTUAL
VIDEO.
VIDEO. >> OH, NO.
>> YOU ARE STARTING TO LET IT
ROCK THERE ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
>> UH-HUH.
>> UH-HUH. >> GIVE ME A PLAY-BY-PLAY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED? >> I WILL TELL YOU WHAT
HAPPENED.
HAPPENED. I HIT THE GROUND.
THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU KNOW, THAT WAS MY FAMOUS
HEEL TOE HOP WHICH IS A MOVE I
HAVE BEEN DOING FOR YEARS.
THE FLOOR WAS WET.
FEET GOT OUT FROM UNDERME.
THE REASON WHY, I HAD ON
DEFECTIVE SHOES.
DEFECTIVE SHOES. >> WILL YOU BE FILING A LAWSUIT?
>> I AM NOT FILING A LAWSUIT.
THEY REACHED OUT AND WANT TO
MAKE THINGS RIGHT, WHICH IS
REALLY GOOD.
REALLY GOOD. I WENT DOWN.
AND WHEN I WENT DOWN I JUST
STARTED LAUGHING BECAUSE THE
FEAR IN THOSE THREE SECONDS THAT
IT TOOK FOR ME TO GO FROM POINT
A TO B WAS REAL.
I THOUGHT I AM ABOUT TO BREAK
SOMETHING.
SOMETHING. >> YOU DID?
I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE THE FEAR
OF EVERYONE JUST SAW ME TOTALLY
WHIFF ON THE DANCE FLOOR.
>> I DON’T CARE LESS ABOUT THAT.
I CARE ABOUT MY ARM OR HIP.
I THOUGHT IT WAS OVER FOR ME.
I AM GLAD I SURVIVED IT.
>> THAT’S PROBABLY WHY YOUR BACK
HURTS.
HURTS. >> THAT AMONGST OTHER REASONS.
BEING OLD IS A MINDSET.
THE GOAL IS TO NOT ENGAGE INTO
THAT MINDSET AND FEEL YOUNG
FOREVER.
FOREVER. IT’S A FEELING.
>> YOU ARE.
YOU BRING A LOT OF YOUTH AND
ENERGY INTO THIS ROOM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> THANK YOU.
>> SO GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE.
