00:09Je ne sais pas si vous êtes en train de me concrètement, mais je pense que le gentleman
00:12next à vous, il a fait bien dans ce film comme acteur, non?
00:17Je pense qu'il était sublime dans ce film.
00:20Je pense que c'était une des expériences de mon vie, regarder le voir shape-shift
00:25into Marc Kerr, c'était vraiment extraordinaire, et extraordinaire chaque jour, avec chaque
00:31scene et chaque nuance qu'il a apporté à Marc, et nous connaissons Marc personnellement,
00:35donc c'était presque spouky quand il s'est devenu lui.
00:38C'était wild.
00:39Merci.
00:40Vous êtes bien.
00:41Oui, et Mr. Dwayne Johnson, vous êtes un révélateur dans ce film.
00:47Je veux dire, vous pouvez vous parler de votre transformation pour ce projet, et pourquoi
00:53did this role resonate in you, please?
00:56Thank you for the words, by the way.
00:58It's very kind.
00:59I feel like it resonated with me for a few reasons.
01:03Number one, I felt like I knew Marc, and while I had met Marc in the late 90s, we were
01:11familiar with each other's professional wrestling and MMA at that time, but I felt like I knew
01:16and I understood him on a deeper level of this man who had a lot of pressure to live up to
01:25an image, and for Marc Kerr, not me, but for Marc Kerr, who seems invincible, who was the
01:31greatest fighter on the planet, and capable, and so many people relying on him to win and
01:40to take care of them and to take care of everything.
01:42But yet, at the same time, he was battling these demons, and demons of addiction, and
01:46demons of pain, and demons of shame, and all of these things that he had a really hard
01:55time dealing with.
01:56And he OD'd twice.
01:59He's lucky to be alive.
02:01And in 2019, I brought the project to Benny Safdie.
02:06I said, I feel like this could be something you and I can do together.
02:09And we decided to do it then, but then, of course, COVID happened and shut everything down.
02:15But for me, the transformation, the physical transformation, yes, there was a weight gain
02:20of about 30 pounds, multiple prosthetics from Kazuhiro, vocal transformation.
02:28But the thing that I loved most about the process, as Emily had talked about, was just the nuances.
02:35And I had not yet had that opportunity to go there, and to go to deeper places that were raw, and that were intense, and that were scary.
02:49Until now.
02:50Until I had, you know, an incredible scene partner in Emily, who have I known, and loved, and trusted, and have such deep, profound respect for, for years now.
03:00So it was because of our trust that we had, and because of our bond and friendship, I think that allowed Mark and Don on screen to just explode in the places that they did.
03:13That's what I was going to ask you, Emily.
03:16You know, I mean, you're not from Hollywood, but in Hollywood, everybody's friends with everyone, you know?
03:22Even if things on the set doesn't go so well, we are super friends, he's a great partner.
03:28But between you two, there was an amazing chemistry.
03:32Thank you.
03:32Your performance is amazing, but we feel it is amazing chemistry.
03:37Can you talk a little bit about this real friendship that you have with Mr. Dwayne Johnson, and how do you explain that?
03:46I mean, I think it's, you're so grateful when you do a movie, and you take one person away from it.
03:54It's rare, but when it happens, it's so meaningful, because you've gone through, you've walked through fire together at times, and it's a very specific experience that only the kind of insular people on that movie have had.
04:09And even if it's a big comedy, like Jungle Cruise, like what we went through as friends on that, we really got along, we trusted each other, we laughed a lot together.
04:19And I'm so grateful, I cherish this friendship, it has been a very meaningful friendship in my life.
04:27And so the fact that we got to use that in a way as like the springboard for playing this volatile couple, but I think it was really essential, and I promised Dawn when I spoke to her, you know, even with the fluctuations and the ups and downs and how they were so volcanic together, it was a love story.
04:49And I promised her that, that I was going to be her advocate for that, and you need to feel that.
04:54And sometimes the people we love most hurt us the most.
04:57And so going on that journey with Dwayne was really profound for me.
05:04In one word, Dwayne, how do you say, what you would say to your younger self about this amazing career we just had?
05:24I would say, listen to that voice.
05:30Listen to that voice that's behind your ribcage, that is there, that speaks to you.
05:35And a lot of, it's much easier said than done, I think.
05:38And for me, because I was, the kind of career I had, I'm so lucky to have the kind of career I've had.
05:45And I love making, I love acting, and I love actors, and I love the process, and I love everything, I love it all.
05:52And I also feel like the larger movies, the bigger movies that I've made, from Jumanji's to the Moana's, I love them.
06:01And they're a lot of fun to make.
06:02But I also, there was a voice behind my ribcage that never said, don't do that anymore.
06:09It said, but there is more to do, and there's places you can go, and there's places you can access.
06:15If you just weren't afraid, then access them.
06:21Because the thing, what I realized is, oh, wow, I can.
06:26And I realized this through Emily and through Benny, and that's the truth,
06:30is that you can go deep and access all this stuff that you've experienced in your life,
06:36and take it and put it into another place that you love.
06:40And that thing you love is acting.
06:42And I never knew that until Emily and Benny, and I know it now.
06:47But there was a voice, a little voice that was saying, hey, do this, do more, try.
06:54And so my advice to my younger self is, like, listen to that voice.
