00:00I always have to have a drink.

00:01Meanwhile, I'm telling my girls,

00:02yeah, you guys can watch it.

00:03Yeah, you should watch it.

00:03This is just my life, and this is very normal for me.

00:07She used to leave the weights everywhere.

00:08No, I like to leave them in the dust.

00:10Ten years this year of interviewing you, Duane.

00:13Ten years.

00:14Wow.

00:14We're nine. We're at nine.

00:15Oh, got it.

00:16So next year we'll celebrate.

00:16But ten years watching you evolve to do something like this

00:20is so incredible.

00:22So congratulations to both of you.

00:24I'm curious, did your...

00:25I already know that you two are close,

00:27but did you find that your friendship did evolve

00:30doing this film anyway?

00:32I think so, because I think we were so used to

00:34kind of giving each other shit

00:35and just sort of having this very jokey relationship,

00:39and then I think we had to kind of carve out new space

00:44for this film because we knew we'd have to go

00:47to some really dark, intense places.

00:49I mean, we've always been great friends,

00:52and we've shared a lot of our past, our history,

00:55and, like, we know a lot about each other.

00:58So I think, for me, I always knew that DJ had this

01:02very profound upbringing, struggle, some hardships,

01:09like a lot of stuff he's had to sort of, like, encase

01:12and be this image of invincibility for the world.

01:15And so I was always sort of hoping he'd get to play

01:18something more vulnerable.

01:19And when this came along, it was just the most incredible gift.

01:23And then the fact that Benny wanted me to do it with him,

01:26it was just magic.

01:27Yeah.

01:27It was awesome.

01:28You realize that in order to go to the places

01:32that we had to go for this, that were intense and raw,

01:35and that was new for me, but it was also very exciting

01:40because I grew up an only child.

01:42I keep all my, like a lot of guys,

01:44we keep all our shit in here.

01:45It's not that healthy.

01:47So this opportunity to rip myself open

01:50and to transform and to become somebody else,

01:53truly, in their skin, was the thing I ran to.

01:57But the thing, as I run to it, to have her there,

02:03like, hey, I got you,

02:04and we're going to trust each other on this,

02:07and, you know, we're going to jump off the cliff together,

02:11but we got each other.

02:12So I feel like the fact that we are such great friends

02:16just helped because the places we went, you know,

02:20it's like, and I realized,

02:23because it was like a baptism by fire for me,

02:25that I didn't have to look over my back or over my shoulder.

02:28Like, I just knew we have a language, you know,

02:30even without talking, like, hey,

02:32I know what you're going to say,

02:33or you're going to get just things like that.

02:35So that really helped, too.

02:36We do see Mark and Dawn trained together in this.

02:40So I'm curious, Emily, have you ever done any of Dwayne's workouts at all?

02:43Yeah, in my gym.

02:44Oh, my God, I like...

02:45She used to leave the weights everywhere.

02:46No, I like to leave them in the dust, honestly.

02:48It's like, no.

02:50I mean, he would always know when I'd been in the gym

02:52because my tiny little three-pounders were sort of scattered around the gym,

02:56and I never cleaned up.

02:57I don't know why.

02:59Bad gym etiquette.

03:00Bad gym etiquette.

03:01So I stuck to my Pilates machine on this one.

03:04And he had his gym, and I think I probably used it once.

03:08Once, yeah.

03:09Hey, listen, it served you well.

03:10Killing it.

03:11Thank you very much.

03:12How does it feel making a film like this

03:14when you've probably spent so much time telling your own kids not to fight?

03:18Like, they're going to be like,

03:19well, Daddy's fighting, and Mommy's supporting him.

03:22But, like, what's it like?

03:25Well, they won't be watching this until they're 50.

03:27But, um, to see their mother being so, um, volatile in it.

03:32But, um...

03:33Meanwhile, I'm telling my girls,

03:35yeah, you guys can watch it.

03:36Then we'll watch Squid Game.

03:38They did watch the trailer.

03:40They did.

03:41They were rocked by the trailer.

03:42Ah.

03:42They were curious.

03:43They really wanted to watch it.

03:45Your girl wanted to watch it.

03:45Yes.

03:46Oh, yes.

03:47And they wanted to watch it.

03:48And they were really, they were taken aback by it, you know?

03:53Yeah.

03:54Well, I think we all are.

03:55For sure.

03:55Yeah.

03:55Like, it's pretty special what you've been able to do.

03:58But we hear Mark saying this.

04:00There's no better feeling than winning.

04:03And while winning is great,

04:05I do believe there are better feelings.

04:07So, for you, what do you,

04:08what would you say is a feeling that is better than winning?

04:11Peace.

04:12Mm.

04:12Oh.

04:13I like that feeling.

04:14Do you get much of it with having kids around?

04:16I find it, you know.

04:18But that's quite peaceful for me, actually.

04:20I mean, that's, like, that's a peaceful place to be,

04:23like, at home, the school run, the normalcy is peaceful for me.

04:29We were laughing, Benny and I, the other day about when you do a red carpet.

04:32And Benny was kind of saying how overwhelming it is.

04:35And I said, it is.

04:36And the other thing you realize is that you have to adopt this kind of persona of,

04:40like, this is just my life.

04:42And this is very normal for me, you know.

04:44And it's not, and it never is.

04:46Yeah.

04:47And before I get out to do a red carpet, I'm like that every time.

04:50I always have to have a drink, a bit of Dutch courage, and then we do it.

04:55But so I think peace does mean normalcy, actually.

04:58That's a good feeling.

05:00That's a good feeling.

05:00I like that, too.

05:01It's peace.

05:02It's also, like, those simple core things that you really look forward to.

05:06You know, life is wild and crazy and noisy for everybody, us, you, everybody.

05:11It's like the, you know, treadmill is nonstop of life.

05:14But it's nice to find those moments where you're just doing the simple core stuff.

05:18Yeah.

05:19You're at peace, you're at home, you're babies, and quiet.

05:23I like, if I could find my mornings, she knows this.

05:26Like, I get up before the sun and just go sit outside and meditate and breathe and quiet and still.

05:32It anchors my day.

05:33I love it.

05:33But listen, winning is a great feeling.

05:35And I'm sure that there's going to be, you know, wins coming your way with this film.

05:42Because, listen, I'm not saying anything about what they will be.

05:46But I would like to see it happen.

05:51It's so lovely to see you both.

05:52Thank you so much.

05:53Genuinely, great job.
