00:00You play a koala, famously Australian, noticed no accent.
00:06No Australian accent.
00:08I think we're finding out why.
00:10I did live there, but no Australian accent.
00:13I got asked that.
00:14I did a lot of Australian press just thinking, like,
00:16well, a koala's Australian, and you lived over here for a year.
00:19Why didn't you do Australian accent?
00:21I was like, no, it would have been a little too literal.
00:25Decided not to.
00:26But you did.
00:27You mentioned you lived in Australia for a year.
00:29This is between high school and college?
00:30Yeah.
00:31And then were you...
00:32Is it true that you were one of those people
00:33that came back from abroad
00:34and you actually brought the accent back with you?
00:36Damn right.
00:37Wow.
00:38And this is Texas, right?
00:40There can't be a lot of people walking around
00:41with an Australian accent back there.
00:43Was it...Were people into it?
00:46I...The ladies kind of were.
00:47Yeah.
00:49Which is why I was doing it.
00:50Yeah, but...
00:51And also, I was playing a...
00:54Yeah, there's a lot of my fraternity brothers out there going,
00:57You, son of a bitch, you did fake that for a year.
00:59Yeah, I did.
01:00But I would imagine the problem
01:02with faking an accent for a year is if you don't move,
01:05you have to explain what happens
01:08when the regular one comes back, right?
01:09No, I actually let everybody know,
01:11all my buddies know, like, one night.
01:13Okay, gotcha.
01:13And they were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:15It's like a year after I'd been hanging out with them.
01:17We're in the frat house.
01:18And they're like, what happened to the Australian accent?
01:19I was like, gotcha.
01:22You played the long con.
01:23I did the long year con.
01:25And you actually went back and you taught
01:27at your alma mater at UT this year, University of Texas.
01:30We got a class there that we're going into our third year of it.
01:35It's the class I wish I would have had
01:36when I was in film school.
01:38Okay.
01:38So, any movie you see,
01:41if you're privileged to read the very first script,
01:44it's very different.
01:45So it's called From Script to Screen,
01:47and it puts a science to the magic in that script,
01:50what it turns into to get to that two hours of cellulary
01:53that you see on film, major changes.
01:55And we take them through that chronologically.
01:57I must be a jackpot to be in Matthew McConaughey,
01:59Professor McConaughey, excuse me,
02:00Professor McConaughey's class.
02:01Yes, please, well, thank you very much.
02:04And I also realized I did not raise my hand,
02:06and I apologize for that.
02:06I don't know.
