00:00We're here tonight at the SAG Awards celebrating both movie and TV actors.

00:04The Oscars are just a week away. What film are you rooting for for Best Picture?

00:08Oh my god, there's so many amazing movies this year.

00:11Onora I'm rooting for. Was A Real Pain nominated for Best Picture?

00:16I don't think it was. I don't think so.

00:19It was so good. And also, I would have to say Dune 2.

00:24It's so unbelievable. The spectacle of that movie is incredible.

00:28Now for you, I can't wait to see you in the final season of The Boys.

00:32Where are you at on that? What can you tell me?

00:34Oh man, so we're shooting it right now in Toronto, which is insane.

00:38And I'm covered in blood most days, which is of no surprise.

00:42It's going to be very bittersweet for me because, you know, this is our fifth and final season.

00:47I'm glad that we get to go out on our own terms.

00:49It's an ending that our showrunner intended, so that I love because that's so rare in TV these days.

00:54But yeah, it's going to be, I'm going to get really emotional by the end of it.

00:59I just love everybody who works on that, you know, cast and crew.

01:02So yeah, it's going to be a very bittersweet time, but no, it's going to be great.

01:08I'm excited for people to see us conclude this thing.

01:12And we're excited to see it.

01:13And I'm sure you can't tease too much, but when you read your first scripts for the final season, what was your reaction?

01:19Ooh, uh, oh God, they're really intense.

01:23Especially those first, like, three episodes, they're very, very intense.

01:26So I think, I really like them, but like, man, it gets, uh, it starts off in a pretty dark place.

01:33I can't exactly say where, but yeah.

01:35Have you read the finale yet? Are you, do you know how it ends?

01:38No, I know how it ends. I have an idea of how it ends, but how exactly all those pieces get put into place, I'm not exactly sure yet.

01:45Uh, but it kind of keep us in the dark, you know.

01:48I know about a couple scripts ahead at all times, but never, you know, talk to me in a few months and then I'll actually know what the ending is.

01:55Which is going to be nuts. I can't wait to read that script.

01:57But, uh, yeah, I'm excited.

01:59And you also have Novocaine. What drew you to that project?

02:02Uh, well, it's an action movie. It's an action comedy. Um, and I know most people will look at me and not necessarily see an action hero.

02:09And I'm totally fine with that, but it seemed like the best possible, uh, movie to have me as an action hero in it.

02:16I play a guy who has a rare genetic disorder where he can't feel pain and he has to go save, uh, this girl that he loves.

02:22And he's kind of using his disability as a superpower.

02:25So it's really not about how much I can, I can kick ass. It's more about how much my ass can get kicked and then I keep getting back up.

02:32Uh, it's really fun. We shot it in South Africa about a year ago and I just think it's a blast and I can't wait for people to see it.

02:38We can't wait to see it. And finally, back in 2023 with the SAG After Strike, AI was a hot topic and it continues to be.

02:46What's your take on AI?

02:47Oh man, look, I just don't want it to replace anybody's job. That's really it.

02:52I mean, if we can use it, you know, obviously you can't put the genie back in the bottle.

02:56If we can use it as a tool, that's hopefully, you know, makes it so that people can keep their jobs.

03:01I would love that. Uh, otherwise, I don't know. It's not the greatest thing.

03:06Um, but I think we need to stop working on AI if we can. I know we can.

03:11Can we just stop until we figure out Bluetooth technology?

03:14Cause it still doesn't really work the way that we want it to.

03:17Like I still can't connect to a speaker and I'm like, this should work.

03:20We've been, we've had this technology for a decade now. Why isn't it working?

03:24Let's just put it on hold for a second until we can work out Bluetooth. That's my, that's my hot take.

03:29I love that. We're moving too fast. We need to get back to the basics.

03:32Yeah, we're moving too fast. We really do. Just figure out the Bluetooth situation.

03:36I want to connect to the speaker. It's a whole thing.

03:39We're moving too fast.

03:40We're moving too fast.
