00:00Him and Glenn Close surprised us.
00:09Possiamo prendere qualcosa da mangiare?
00:11Sei fortunato, guarda. Entrate e prendete qualcosa da mangiare. Portami il resto. E delle M&M's.
00:17Congratulations for your work. I enjoyed the film. It's really fun and involving.
00:29So, first of all, in the first part of the story, we can see your characters being parents more than
00:37secret agents.
00:39Can we consider that their hardest mission?
00:42It's connecting with your kids and wanting to feel cool because you do have this cool background.
00:51So the hardest thing for them as characters was just connecting with the kids. Simple things.
00:57Making sure that the kids are having fun and connecting and trying to open up dialogue with your kids so
01:06you feel good.
01:07And it's really a parent thing. Like, you know, you want to be cool in front of your kids.
01:13So that was the whole thing.
01:14You know, it's also that funny thing because when kids are young, you're their whole world, right?
01:21You're just used to having them, like, want to be with you, want to hang with you.
01:26Like, you're the most, like, you're the best thing that ever lived, right?
01:32You're everything.
01:33And then all of a sudden, one day, they don't want you to be around.
01:38I mean, like, it's crushing.
01:39Yeah.
01:39It's heartbreaking.
01:41It's like a breakup, you know what I mean, with, like, the love of your life.
01:44You're, like, desperate to keep them apart, like, somehow want to be a part of your life.
01:49So you're watching these parents kind of, like, going through that moment where they're like, oh, my God, what happened?
01:55She used to be so sweet.
01:57And now she looks at us in this way that we can't even understand.
02:01And I just want her back so bad, you know?
02:04And for them, they have this moment where I don't think all parents get the opportunity to really reveal who
02:10they were before they were parents
02:12and have their kids go, like, wow, there's more to you, and I want to know that person.
02:17It's almost these characters get this, like, moment that all parents wish they could have where all of a sudden
02:23their children see them as, like, this ultimate, you know, person, you know?
02:30So I think, I hope that that kind of this movie allows that between parents and kids if they watch
02:36it together for the kids to kind of, like, be like, who were you?
02:40And the parents get to reveal a little bit of themselves to them.
02:44Can action bounce is action and comedy.
02:47Is that mix so hard to obtain?
02:51It's a good mix.
02:53I use a little bit of a playbook from this movie called Rush Hour.
03:00When I watched Rush Hour, I was like, wow, just as you're laughing, next thing you know, they're kicking ass.
03:06And so Seth Gordon, the director and the writer of the film, you know, his background, well, not his background,
03:15but, you know, horrible bosses
03:17and those sort of great comedic pieces, I think, played extremely well where we were able to have those subtle
03:26comedic moments
03:28so that when the action jumps off, it's, you know, it's a perfect marriage.
03:33You worked together before.
03:34Did that help in making it so natural, the relationship between your characters and this perfect balance of the film?
03:43Yeah, I think that, you know, we've worked together.
03:47The last film I did was Annie and with Jamie.
03:51So I think that the fact that we've known each other over decades, we have respect for each other,
03:57we're truly partners in making movies, making this movie,
04:01I think that that dynamic really shows up on screen, that we, you know, we know each other,
04:08we have fun with each other, we're partners, and we wanted to make a movie that people really enjoyed.
04:14So I think that all ends up on screen for sure.
04:18And secret agents are very loved by the audience.
04:23According to you, what fascinates so much about them?
04:29Who doesn't love a good secret agent?
04:32You know what I mean?
04:33I mean, since Pink Panther, 007, all these, you know, great secret agents,
04:40we always used to think that as kids, I'm a secret agent.
04:43So now when you get a chance to actually play it out, it's just fun.
04:47And some of those small things, the binoculars thing, which is hilarious.
04:52Just, you know, the little gadgets and stuff like that, and something that you may miss it if you're not
04:58checking,
04:59but the way they had their getaway set up.
05:03Yeah.
05:03Like when they go into the garage and she spins it and there's a panel, everybody wants a panel.
05:09Behind the panel, you know, you got your shit you go to war with, you know, so it was just,
05:14so it was just, you know, it's fun.
05:15It's like the things that you grow up thinking about doing.
05:19And I love the action sequence in the gas station.
05:23Oh.
05:23Do you have a favorite moment, a favorite sequence of this film?
05:28I love that.
05:29That's a great fun.
05:30The gas station, the best line to me is like, it's okay, she's all right.
05:35She's fine.
05:35When she kicks the girl's head off and then, mom, it's okay, she's fine, you'll be okay.
05:40So even within the highest level of tension in the movie, there's still that connection and bond,
05:47which to me, that was the most gratifying scene to not only work on, but to see how it turned
05:54out.
05:55And how did you work with the other cast members of the film?
06:00You have great supporting actors.
06:03Oh my God, Glenn Close.
06:05Yes, of course, yes.
06:06Jamie, Demetria.
06:08He was hilarious.
06:10Him and Glenn Close.
06:12Surprised us.
06:14Surprised you because, you know, like, you know, look, we're going to go eat.
06:18We're going to do our thing.
06:19And then you see Glenn Close in this funny role with Demetria.
06:24And them kissing.
06:26And them kissing with the tape.
06:27Oh, man, that shit was so funny, bro.
06:29And that's, to me, that's what rounds the movie off, you know.
06:33Sometimes you have to be careful in that, you know, you don't, you take up the space and the oxygen.
06:39And it's okay, what is there left for, you know, the supporting characters?
06:44But they emerged and just, you know, to me, just lifted it all the way up.
06:50Boomer.
06:51T-Cotta Boomer.
06:55Non siamo Boomer, ok?
06:57Siamo la Generazione X.
06:59Andiamo via.
