00:05Diana è una persona che ha completamente cambiato her life.
00:12She was a tax attorney in Atlanta.
00:15She raised her daughter on her own.
00:19She had a husband that was pretty epically hideous.
00:26And she ended up on her own, empty nest, and she asked herself,
00:33what are you going to do in life?
00:35And she's not the kind of person who just does what's expected of her.
00:42And I think she decided, I had a dream when I was younger.
00:46I didn't do it, so I'm going to do it now.
00:48And it brings her somehow to Vegas.
00:52And she is not the greatest singer in Vegas,
00:55but she's good enough to be in this little crappy little lounge
01:03where nobody really listens to her and where she sings her heart out.
01:13There is a song, Cup of Trouble, that's in the movie
01:17that I wrote with Jeremy Spillman and Jared Crump,
01:20and I sing that in the movie.
01:21And then we had to find some classic songs
01:25that would be songs that these guys would remember from their childhoods,
01:30so old standards.
01:31So we went through so many songs trying to figure out,
01:36to be frank, what's within my not-enormous vocal range
01:40that I could sing that also made sense for their nostalgia and their memories.
01:46So I sing Only You and You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.
01:53and then my own song, Cup of Trouble.
02:03Acting with Michael, it's like sort of like playing with silk.
02:09Michael's like, silk, you know?
02:11He's like, there's something so old school.
02:15it kind of makes me think about Sinatra and Fred Astaire
02:21and all those guys.
02:22There's just something.
02:23So when you're acting with him,
02:26it doesn't feel, you know,
02:29like there's any effort behind it.
02:32It's just effortless and beautiful,
02:33and you believe him,
02:36and he's Michael Douglas.
02:39It's incredible.
02:46My first scene was to hold a cup of coffee
02:52and walk and go sit on a park bench
02:55the whole time talking to Bobby De Niro.
02:58And I think if you look closely,
03:02you'll probably see my hand is shaking a little bit.
03:04But what I saw instantly
03:08when you're looking into his eyes
03:11and acting with him is,
03:13okay, that's why you're Bobby De Niro.
03:16I get that now.
03:18I get why you're you, you know?
03:20Because you're so immediately, deeply into the scene
03:26because he's so deeply in there
03:28that there's nowhere to go
03:30but just let the truth of it wash over you
03:35because that's all he does
03:37is tell the truth.
03:39It's great.
03:46It's a beautiful combination of people
03:48because every single one of them is so different
03:51and every single one of them is so insanely talented
03:54that just sitting there with the four of them
03:57is like, you know,
03:58it's like some crazy, demented, wonderful acting class.
04:07John fluctuates between being directed
04:10by a sort of nerdy nine-year-old
04:16combined with some like 98-year-old wise man
04:23and he flips back and forth between the two of them
04:25and what he also has is this extraordinary ear.
04:31He can hear if you're just slightly off.
04:34He also has pretty good writing chops too
04:36so sometimes he's come in there too
04:39and help make a scene work in that way
04:40but he just has a great ear
04:44for when you're not all the way there
04:47or you're pushing too hard
04:50or you're just not quite telling the truth, you know?
04:52He's there.
04:53That's the old guy.
04:54Then the nine-year-old guy
04:56makes you do stuff you don't want to do
04:57like get out on some stupid ride
05:00on the top of the stratosphere
05:01and 30 mile an hour winds
05:02because, you know, it's going to be fun
05:05and it's like, no,
05:07this wouldn't be fun to most adults, John.
05:10You know, he's kind of both of those people.
05:23You know, he's kind of both of those people.
05:23He's really good.
05:23and he's like,
05:23He sings like he's like he sings like this.
05:23He's really, I'm sorry.
