00:00It's very strange for me to watch that with you because
00:08You're obviously attached to play Oliver for a long time. Yes, and then you drop that at the last second
00:30Clip time everybody, let's hear it. Come on. Yeah. Hell yeah
00:45Let me bring the mail in the house for you. Come on. I'm already gonna be watering your plants
00:53Just say yes to me bringing in your mail, please don't look away. Look at me
00:56That guy I did on the show was the Hurley boy
01:01I wrote that skit my buddy Tim Hurley
01:04He used to write all my he wrote Billy Madison and Happy Gilmore and all the stuff
01:08He was my college roommate, but that one in particular I wrote late night one night
01:12I wasn't on the show and Lauren sometimes this happens
01:15I wasn't on the show at all and Lauren said hey
01:18Do you have any ideas on like a Thursday night? I said holy cow
01:22I got a kind of clean slate to write something
01:24So I wrote that and I wrote Farley in there because I love Farley like the whole world did
01:29I think that was the most I ever
01:32Laughed on air at another guy anything Farley said. I was just laughing and laughing
01:37Why you just said that instinct he just tried to he'd say before a skit he'd go adsy. He called me adsy
01:43I'm gonna get you and I'd be like oh no no and he would look me in the eyes and just try to be funny
01:50He'd want me to break every time because then then he won then he knew he knew he could whoop me
01:55He was by far the funniest dude on the planet. He walked into the room
01:59But everybody just went all right every comedian the best thing about Farley
02:03It was unanimous that we all said he was the funniest
02:06Can we stop this cruel game and allow the boy
02:11To keep one shred of dignity with Lauren give you a hard time if you broke in a scene. Oh back then he didn't like that
02:18Yeah. Oh, really? You weren't supposed to break. I think like the the first cast, you know, Dan Aykroyd Belushi
02:24Jane Curtin Gilda, they'd never broke they kind of frowned upon it
02:29They mentioned like it. It was like Carol Burnett that show when they would laugh when we were kids
02:34I that was like a big show for for me when I was a kid and they Tim Conway would make him laugh and Harvey
02:41Corman would laugh and Carol Burnett would laugh and you at home you'd say this is the greatest thing I've ever seen
02:46They were like having a ball together and so I thought it was cool
02:50But then the first cast on SNL was like we're not the Carol Burnett show. We take this serious man
02:56If you laugh you're out and I was kind of a rule and
03:02Somehow that rule got broken and now they everyone's laughing all the time, you know
03:07How about you Timmy? Do you ever laugh? Did you get caught off guard and laugh?
03:10You know, I mean
03:12You go pretty hardcore. You are committed
03:15My boy Chaz from way back
03:18He got guap I'm like damn man
03:22You was in Yo Gabba Gabba?
03:24Yeah
03:26One episode like 10 years ago damn bro respect you a legend for that one fam
03:31Damn, that's the woke dude. That was ridiculous. That one was hard not to laugh through
03:36But I miss that feeling, you know
03:38I got you get that feeling all the time growing up where you're in situations where you're not supposed to laugh like in school
03:42To all the kids in this audience that goes away man like you don't realize those are the most
03:48Lucrative comedic opportunities your life
03:51Remember, uh, they had the rap the rats were driving and rapping in the commercial
03:55Wait, wait, you mean the Kia hamsters?
04:03uh-huh, okay, so no rappers then
04:06I mean, I like tick tock
04:08I remember seeing that the first time. I loved it. I love it. You're smooth out there, man
04:13You're on snl. You're so calm and cool. It's crazy. I remember the last time I saw you in the hallway between sketches
04:19Yeah, baby feel good man. You give me a pat on the back. Yeah, you were like an apparition
04:22Tell me man. How is how is Saturday night live changed?
04:26Procedurally or backstage or the vibe since it's kind of started
04:29It's always been the same like when you were there that same energy where you're
04:33Having the best time of your life and you're also panicked out of your mind. You're like
04:37This is a one-shot
04:39Opportunity is that eminem
04:41Yeah, and and this is you're gonna do the best you can you try to stay focused
04:46Sometimes your brain spins and you're like, oh, let's get back in it
04:49Manic it can go it can go away. It comes back. It's that energy. I think it'll always be there
04:54You just go. Let me enjoy this moment, man
04:57And you get nostalgic for that rush ever or no when I left the show the first year
05:02I couldn't watch it. I couldn't watch it. It was just breaks your heart
05:05I guess it's like when you play sports or whatever and all of a sudden you're like
05:09You leave and you see the game keeps going you go. Oh, they didn't need me man
05:13It breaks your heart a little bit, but I don't say I want to get back out there and and and do one of those
05:19again, but I do
05:21Remember the times I remember the friends I met and like
05:25All of us became so close and I love them all so much that I'll never forget it
05:30It's like being in a being on a team. It's like you guys got this little weird connection the rest of your life. It's cool
05:37Hi, Julian. How you doing?
05:49I'm scuba Sam scuba Steve's father
05:53You see my boy needs to take a bath
05:56The only problem is he's afraid to bathe alone
06:00So I was wondering if maybe you could keep him company in the tub
06:05Amazing movie and now I'm happy for Dylan and Cole, but I feel like that should have been me because I would have been
06:13So good you get did you come in an audition for that?
06:17No
06:19Now when you're making big daddy do you have a sense that it was gonna be as huge as it was or no we had a low
06:25Low budget and we made some good old cash on that one. That was a good time man
06:31Immediately spent it all but that's okay, but honestly, it was one of the best times ever
06:39I actually that was my wife Jackie. That was the first movie. She me and me and Jackie was
06:45My waitress in that movie. We we kind of we met it says on the internet
06:50We met during that movie, but that ain't true
06:52We met we met at a party and we fell in love that was fun
06:55But then she was she was in big daddy and we had fun flirting, but honestly take it easy to me
07:02I'm flirting with my wife right now, but
07:05But that movie was really
07:07One of I didn't know if it was gonna do good or bad, but I had the best time had the best time making it
07:12All you have to do is work hard and don't tell a soul about the scuba squad because then everybody's gonna want to join
07:19And that scene in particular was from my real life
07:22I loved this doll called Diver Dan when I was a kid and I lost Diver Dan
07:27But apparently I was very upset Timmy and my father had a scuba suit in real life
07:33My dad Stan the man dressed up as Diver Dan's father
07:37I lived in an apartment in New York and he knocked on the door
07:41My mother said somebody's here to see you Adam
07:43And it was my dad dressed in this thing and he had a mask on and he was like, are you?
07:50You're the boy who was taking care of my son and I go
07:54Yeah, and he goes. I just want to say thank you. He's back with me now
07:59And he came back with me and I'm but I want to just personally thank you
08:03You really had a great time with you and I was like
08:06Yeah, no problem
08:08And uh, and that was it and I always loved that and then my family talked about that story forever
08:12And so when we were doing big data
08:14I tried to make sure we put something like that in there for my pop. Wow, that is so sweet. Yeah
08:32That sounds different. Did you change it? Well, I changed it a little bit. Why?
08:36I just played it the way list would have played it if he
08:39altered box version
08:41Play that again
08:43Play what again? The thing you played outside. It's very strange for me to watch that with you because
08:49You're obviously attached to play Oliver
08:52For a long time. Yes, and then you dropped out at the last second
08:56Well, the only reason I didn't do it. I was what when Timmy kissed me in the audition. I went I don't like it
09:03It's weird watching that
09:05I mean just even in the setting that whole summer was like a fever pitch and there was no clue that movie was gonna have any
09:12reception
09:13I remember that Luca wanted to do it in one shot and
09:16It was the thing I'd worked the most on the piano. I had the piano teacher named Roberto Solchi who lived in a cavernous apartment right below Luca in Italy and
09:26That's what I remember the most you know
09:27It was like one shot and there was one crack at it crushed it
09:30I appreciate it
09:32Speaking of one shot the very end of that movie when you are looking in the camera
09:42And you're heartbroken and that tune is going on and it's like three minutes of you being devastated
09:48And then the feelings you were feeling I was I couldn't believe how phenomenal you were man. Thank you, man
09:54That was breathtaking. You're the best kid. I appreciate it. All right
09:58Thank you
10:06I'm a nice man. I mind my own business
10:10So you tell me that's that
10:13Before I beat the hell from you
10:18I have so much strength in me you have no idea
10:25I have a love in my life
10:28It makes me stronger than anything you can imagine
10:32Really before I ask you anything I will say to actors
10:36Across all ages, but really to my generation. It is one of the most important performances important to name the right word. It's like
10:44Impactful deeply moving I think because you've ascended to such commercial heights
10:49And I hope I don't make you uncomfortable by talking like this that the people that aren't really in the know like don't understand how
10:57Impactful that performance was and how incredible and nuanced and deeply lived in and heartbreaking it is and
11:05Just thank you before I ask you anything about it because really as a young actor and knowing you for your comedic work
11:10And then seeing that thrown against the context of your other work. I went wow. This is a fucking incredible actor
11:16I hope I can give a performance like this. Let's let's let's figure something out
11:21Like I said, I'll be home. I'll be home shortly. Give me a call. Okay. Thank you
11:25That was like as a 19 year old that was deeply deeply moving to me and
11:32At risk of repeating myself in the context of all the comedic work you did I went holy shit
11:36This guy's one of our greats. I know it's not about awards blah blah blah
11:40But you should have a golden man in your hand because man, you're one of the best fucking actors on the planet man
11:46So I love you man. Thank you for saying that. Thank you all. I mean it. I mean it when pta gave me the script
11:57I'll never forget he came to my house
12:00And he had it in his hand and he had it like a ribbon around it and he said i'd like to give you this
12:07gift and
12:09I said he goes I really think you're gonna do good and I said oh, thanks man
12:14And he goes and I think he said
12:17You mind if I stick around while you read it? Oh, wow. Yeah
12:21It's intense. It was cool, man. I think he maybe he went for a drive or something, but I I read it
12:26I was reading it. I remember she kind of being nervous and going holy shit. This movie's good, man
12:32Holy shit like scene to scene, you know what that feeling that i'm sure you had with marty supreme
12:36Everything you go. I get to do that. I get to do that. Holy shit
12:40Like this is as good as a it's ever gonna get and uh, I just
12:44Just remember in the context of where you were at in your career
12:47Then did if you did you did you give any thought to like man?
12:49I'm every movie i'm doing is a commercial smash right am I is this a risk in any way?
12:54Did I deter you? I think I've I just got excited to even more. I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah
13:00Let me let me give this a shot. This guy's presented me such a
13:03Opportunity that I didn't know was coming. I maybe in the back of my head when I was studying acting as a in college
13:11I was like
13:12I'm kind of prepared to get to do something different than comedy, but maybe i'm just gonna be a comedian
13:17I don't know. I didn't pursue it. You know what? I mean pta just kind of like drop that on me and I said
13:24Shit, let me let me try to do the best I can do and then every day was special every day
13:29That guy paul
13:31Thomas anderson, you know, he's one of the greatest of all time
13:35He was just so sweet about it pushing you in directions, but he just saw he saw the movie in his head
13:43The whole he was like tapping his hands. He knew the music in his head. He knew the cut
13:48He knew he always just kind of said maybe just move an inch more this way
13:52I think i'd like it a little more stuff like that
13:54He was just all over every nuance and I knew was
13:58This is what we're gonna be one of the best times in my life
14:01You don't have a boyfriend or anything do you?
14:04No, what do you mean?
14:05I just wanted I just wanted to know
14:07The hawaiian the phone call
14:09Oh, yeah scene did I read that was unscripted or something or that was on the that was just on the day
14:14We were at a phone booth in
14:17Oahu and nobody knew we were shooting there and he kind of just brought a few crew members
14:22And he just said just kind of sneak in there and trying to not to be seen and there were all real people around us and and
14:30I did that a scene and and I was
14:33I think I was
14:35Losing your shit and that sounds amazing my shit. Yeah, exactly mad at my sister in the scene
14:40And then I was calling the girl I loved in the scene and and this light turns on when she gets on the phone
14:46And he had it all he just had it perfectly rigged the whole thing
14:50But it was cool that intense feeling of you're not supposed to be somewhere and you're doing a movie
14:54And you don't have permission a real parade going by it was a real parade you want to get it, right?
14:59Exactly, you you know, man
15:01I know I've seen that movie maybe for 30 times, you know, yeah
15:05It's a remarkable performance and and and and I say that like it has its fireworks, but it's a deeply human performance when I say it's remarkable
15:12It's not like adam's sniper crawling on the floor and screaming. It's like
15:17It's like really just very human movie, you know
15:20And and and just makes you reflect on your own sensitivity and and and the people you see in the street or whatever
15:26And you don't know their story and there might be someone that's passing the street
15:29That's connecting with absolutely no one that has a shitty relationship with their family
15:33That you know is venting to a dentist in a closet as
15:37So it's beautiful man. Thank you
15:42That was a hell of a thing to memorize when you're memorizing something in a made-up language
16:02So I'm always very proud of that and Denis had me memorize it in English, too
16:06So there's versions of that that are
16:08normal spoken word, but that sequence i'm
16:11So proud of and I basically wrapped filming part three four days ago three days ago in abu dhabi
16:18Congratulations to me. I appreciate it and it's
16:23Moving to me that something as out there as dune i'm talking about the themes even in the book what a psychedelic story
16:29It is has taken this personal resonance on for me
16:33Even like almost tearing up a little bit watching that because i've just finished like four days ago this
16:39I've grown up through those movies and that sequence in particular, you know a movie like marty supreme or a complete unknown
16:45Every day it feels like okay. I really got to bring it
16:48Judah i'm see he's a cure to family
16:55Dune
16:57You sound again
16:59On dune
17:01By nature of how huge the production is
17:03You might have two days or three days where there's not much is demanded of you
17:07But I always circled that scene. I was like, okay, this is my
17:10Shot and I and I
17:13Wanted to prove to denis and myself okay in a movie of this size
17:16You know doing a speech in a made-up language in front of 800 people, you know whatever that that I can
17:22Own it and i'm so proud of that because I remember even
17:24Calling a good friend of mine that the night we shot that i went man that went fucking awesome
17:28Wow, and and
17:30That was awesome man words don't do it justice. Yeah, that was just watching you take over
17:35You can get to that level in real life
17:37You're a strong bastard, but it was just nice to watch that and just go every extra every person there on the set
17:43Must have been like what the fuck is happening right now. This guy is
17:48Strong badass smart
17:51I'm gonna follow this guy. You are you look like a leader just a powerful leader. You were so cool
17:58I appreciate it adam and badass and also it was satisfying because the
18:02You know the first film didn't have for paul atreides that climactic moment
18:06So it felt like I was building to it for years and now
18:10You know if i'm in the streets, I'm gonna go you know, which which is more humiliating than it sounds
18:15That's what that's fucking one look at that look at that right after the fucking gate the man
18:29The man's feeling the joke
18:32Get it get it
18:36Finish it
18:38Yes, all right, that's fucking it
18:40Yeah
18:43That's that was like what you felt were doing too when you fucking he went that's my day
18:47I remember that that in the script going holy shit. This is the big one. Let's go
18:51This is as much a question for you, but as much as for your family, but do you do you react to sports?
18:56You know live like that or is there in in the in the ballpark? Yeah
19:01I'm a little nuts little nuts, right?
19:03Josh has seen me
19:05Watch a game. I get kind of worked up with the yankees. I am very
19:09very loud
19:10did you have someone in mind when
19:13You know because he's such a degenerate gambler if I could say that did you have someone
19:18In mind in the public sphere in your personal life or I mean you guys wrote it ronnie and josh
19:24And I gotta say like we did so much
19:26Research on it and met so many jewelers and so many people throughout the process
19:31That I was taken from everybody we hung out
19:34A couple of nights with guys with gambling problems who were fighting with being gamblers who went to gamblers anonymous or
19:41Who are going through it at the time trying to quit and we had like full-on hangs?
19:46And I talked to them and got what they were feeling and what what you know the ups and downs of their lives and how high they get and how
19:53Down it gets and how much it spoils their families lives and just I brought all that into it
19:59And also being a sports fan did help tell me about your working relationship with josh
20:03Did you feel like he pushed you outside your comfort zone?
20:06Yes, yes, yes, yes hundred percent. I gave myself to josh ronnie benny. I gave myself to them
20:11I mean, I I was older than them. I
20:15That went out the window. They knew exactly what they wanted. We were kind of teammates on it
20:19Like I'm sure you guys became teammates. We were teammates. We saw we started seeing this the same movie in our heads
20:26But they saw shit. I never could think of and they and and and josh would leave me and benny and ronnie
20:32We would have all these talks throughout the process and I would just say yeah, yeah, yeah, that's cool
20:37What a great idea? Let me try that go for it
20:40And yeah, I'd be scared to do some shit and feel like I couldn't do it or I was a felt foolish or felt like
20:46Uh, maybe I don't want to be seen like that or maybe but I just dove in and just what's an awesome performance, man
21:00I was scared. I read it and Jackie read it. We were in bed
21:04I was like, I'm fucking a little nervous being this guy and she's like do it. This is so good, man
21:08You get to really try something different and go hard and it's different than anything you've ever done
21:13And then I sat we went out for a hamburger and we shot. Hey Darius. We talked about the whole of
21:18Script and when we were just discussing shit, I just got more and more excited just how fucking excited they were
21:25these guys just make you so comfortable because
21:27There's just nothing they're not thinking about you never say something and you see them go. Oh, I never thought of that
21:33They're just like yeah, yeah, you know, they got an answer and we we just jammed we jammed it was fun, man
21:43And these chords I learned from a cowboy named wiggle foot
21:50You were in a carnival
21:55You are so completely full of shit
21:59First of all the shirt off is fantastic
22:03Every movie your shirts off. I'm like there he goes again. Did you play guitar growing up and no and but I have
22:08You know five five six years to get ready for that and there's COVID and all sorts of stuff. Oh, yeah
22:12Yeah, yeah, you would you would just I appreciate it
22:15But I really can't you know even picked one up the other day and uh
22:18It's not like a hundred percent fresh level by any stretch, but you remembered it when you picked it up
22:23Yeah, but you know, I could do chords. I can't do like, uh, you know, you're doing like solos and yeah, but you're picking
22:29Perkin like a guitar player. You look good. You're like yeah, there was some
22:32Some some finger-picking patterns. I picked up. It's weird to see that back like
22:38I remember that scene in particularly being extremely hot day
22:40But something about doing a biopic and also being deeply a fan
22:44of
22:45Who you're playing I feel like I love the movie
22:49I'm deeply proud of it
22:51But it's one of the few things I'm in where like the experience I had doing it
22:56No, it could be the best movie made of all time. It'll never match the experience
23:01I had this weirdly transit because also because Bob is this incredible artist and it was this weird thing man
23:07Like the the cry I had at the end of that movie was heavy
23:11What were you feeling? What was it?
23:13I felt sad. I felt like it was five six years coming to a close and
23:17I felt like this man's great work had passed through me and I felt really humbled by it and also
23:24gave me confidence at how to approach even stuff like this and
23:26You watch dylan's interaction with the press the way he carried himself things that are very hard to do today
23:32Because we live in such a fractured media environment, so everyone's clamoring, but I try to remind myself of this
23:39He's like this north star man like these people that break through and become
23:44Icons of pop culture, but they're not vain
23:46And it's like you gotta like cherish them like frank ocean. I've said that a million times you're like
23:51When these people break through you got to cherish them your songs are like an oil painting at the dentist's office
23:59You're kind of an asshole, but I love dylan. I loved it
24:03I loved your performance and I love getting to see
24:06His world and what you gave us and the depth of what dylan was and relationships and knowing that he was just a guy
24:12I love her saying you're an asshole and he's like thinks about it like you did it and it's like
24:18Yeah
24:19You're pointing out something that's kind of true
24:21playing someone where the other character declares you an asshole, you know and and
24:25lead characters especially in commercial movies
24:27Those are kind of hard things to come but I think back to some of the early pacino movies almost every every early pacino role and you're like
24:34the ambiguity
24:35Of or even like killers of the flower moon
24:37That's maybe a weird reference in regards to what i'm talking about
24:39But the moral ambiguity of the thing i'm so proud of that
24:49Maybe your memory is trying to tell you something about your present
24:54Wait what?
24:55I don't know i'm tired
24:56I just had a fight with daisy
24:58I wish i was there to help him
24:59What did you say?
25:00What?
25:00What?
25:01Nothing
25:01The second movie i did with noah no bomb back is awesome. He's
25:05One one of the one of the greats a great human being great writer great director
25:12And uh, he called me a couple years ago said he's writing this movie
25:15He said he's writing me as a manager and I just said okay great. I can't wait to see it
25:20And then in the back your head you go fuck that's coming. That'll be good
25:23And then he handed me the script and told me cluny was playing j kelly
25:27And I was just kind of excited that had had so many scenes in it that were exciting to do and get deep on and
25:33I didn't know cluny
25:35I knew him a little bit
25:36You know, I played basketball when I was young with him, but I never really no way he balls no way
25:41He's great. Actually really. Oh, he's freaking he's good. He's a real athlete. He's tough dude
25:46He's a tough dude, and then we we played ball when he hosted snl
25:50He took the whole cast. I think we rented out like a ymca or something and farley and me and like kneeling and a bunch of
25:57Goofy comedians. We all went out and played ball with cluny and he was fantastic
26:01So we knew each other from there then I went to a knicks game with him
26:04Got got got you know, I just got to know him through the snl week and then throughout my 30 years here in la
26:11I bump into him and we'd have fun saying hi
26:14And then but I never really knew him like you know when you do a movie with somebody you get you it's a daily event
26:19You become family and this guy was so cool such a great
26:24Spirit such a smart bastard never never gives up every scene
26:29He's so involved wants to do the best scene possible. So
26:33My job in the movie was to love him and try to protect him as his manager. What are you getting?
26:38I'm just saying Ben for instance flies home every weekend from the show to see his family
26:44Ben Alcott comparing it's hard not to feel like I'm just saying these are the decisions we make
26:48I've worked with millions of great people over the years. I have
26:52Agents managers publicists all that stuff
26:55So I took it all in there and wrapped it up
26:56But it was I was just trying to make sure cluny knew no matter what I had his back and his character
27:02And that that was my job and then in the movie
27:05It's kind of messing my family up the amount of time
27:08He's taken away from me as a as a superstar and doing his whatever the hell he wants to do
27:14My character had to kind of say okay, I guess we're doing that the movies about for me
27:19It's it's his life and what he's done and what he's done
27:23Right and what he's done wrong and how it's affected his kids
27:26And I see that it's affecting my family the way he wants to live and it's about
27:31Trying to think of this is the right right path for me
27:34Hey, it's marty mauser i'm in the royal suite. I saw you in the lobby yesterday
27:45Okay, yeah, we made eye contact. I was being interviewed
27:49I don't recall well
27:52I'm a huge admirer. Josh gave me this opportunity man where i'm not gonna look at him when i'm saying this but
27:58Where I feel like he empowered me to be something I would almost be wary of being of in this world in this day and age
28:04Which is to be sort of openly aspirational to your point earlier, you know
28:09I feel like the gift of my life
28:11is to
28:13Is to focus on this acting thing the way marty mauser is locked in on ping pong
28:16There's a path of living in fear
28:17There's a path of coasting and then there's the path of being locked in so this movie's opportunity to do that
28:22I'm so proud of this. I'm grateful to josh man that he gave me this opportunity
28:26Okay, can I help you with something? Maybe I just ordered one of everything off the room service menu
28:30There's no way i'll be able to eat it all alone
28:33Ah
28:34It is ridiculous. It's so
28:36Fresh your character is so fresh. He's the coolest most confident bastard. He's that he's just
28:44Never gonna take no for an answer with anybody but so sweet about it and charming and still a family
28:50Nobody's seen a movie like that. I love that
28:52I saw it with my family in the cutting room josh and ronnie
28:57Let me watch it and I watched it when he was putting it together, buddy
29:00And you're hysterical in the movie you're funny as shit man
29:03I appreciate it and it was an opportunity that josh and ronnie cooked up. That's uh
29:07playing a uh, you know
29:10Morally questionable person, but that ronnie and josh never took a judgmental attitude on so on set
29:15Even in the questionable moments. They're never going. Oh, you're you're playing a dick, you know, or
29:18Or uh, right this guy's compromise, you know
29:23Oh, sure you can come up here and i'll come down and meet you
29:25Okay, wonderful. Thank you. Whoa. I want to keep talking
29:27josh said someone had said this to him marty supreme is really a movie about being an idiot in your 20s
29:32and
29:33Having that false confidence to go after a married woman in the moment you just saw
29:38and you know the the
29:40Responsibility lists life that you can lead in your early 20s especially if you're driven and out of your mind and
29:46Ego maniacal at times and uh, I think that's what you see in that scene, you know
29:51Again, I don't want to say too much, but it was just thrilling
29:55to
29:56Not play
29:58A role that's supposed to be ethically redeeming necessarily and not not that either, you know
30:03And that's not social commentary about that look though. How did that happen?
30:07What do you mean? What look just the way you looked in in the movie that face the decisions on the eye
30:12Well, that was josh that was like two hours of fake pockmarks every morning and yeah, josh wanted my eyes beatier in the movie
30:18So i'm wearing contacts
30:21negative four negative six
30:23That offset my vision so I wear real glasses on top of the contacts
30:29Which is like a you know a huge fishbowl effect
30:32But uh, but josh wanted that
30:34You know and and it was well worth it, you know, because it it drives the look of the character
30:38It allowed me to rush darius our brilliant dp
30:42Because I could say to him, you know, I got these contacts in man. My eyes are burning
30:47We got to set up the shot. Yeah, man, that makes sense
30:54This can feel like you know sort of pretentious patting each other on the back kind of thing
31:00But to get it to do this with sandler. This is like a man who's actually kept american
31:04Cinema like he's actually put it on his back, you know, so love you timmy. Thank you. Thank you guys
31:11And what you are doing and what you continue to do for cinema and for all of us you just are
31:18beyond
31:19Beyond it all man. You're just you cannot wait to see what you bring in the future
31:23But let's just enjoy uh marty's supreme when it comes out. It's a 10. It's a 12
31:33So
