00:05Damiano
00:05Hi, nice to meet you
00:07Hi Dwayne, nice to meet you
00:08Good to meet you
00:10So, in the beginning
00:12Dwayne, is pain
00:14a necessary element in life
00:16in cinema and in sports?
00:20Pain?
00:21Yeah
00:22Oh yeah
00:23I think, you know, it's the
00:26non-negotiable
00:28is we're all going
00:30to suffer in some way
00:33and the moment
00:35for me
00:39the faster I realized
00:40that, Damiano was probably
00:42just a couple of years ago where I realized
00:44it's okay, pain
00:46suffering, it's okay
00:47because it makes us better
00:49Now, when it comes to our children
00:51you don't want them to suffer too much
00:53you don't want them to go through so much pain
00:55because you want to protect them
00:56but going through things
00:58where they get knocked down
01:00and they experience loss
01:03and they suffer a little bit
01:05and they experience some pain
01:06is very, very important
01:07I think the key though, Damiano
01:10is making sure that
01:14we try to manage our pain
01:16as best we can
01:17in ways that
01:18will make us better
01:20and not in ways
01:22that are going to come back
01:23and hurt us
01:23and in this case, of course
01:25as you know
01:25and Mark Kerr
01:26from Smashing Machine
01:28he struggled in managing
01:29his pain
01:30and his demons
01:31and his addictions
01:34His role is very different
01:35from your others
01:36how important is it
01:38to get out
01:39of our comfort zone?
01:43It's the most important thing
01:44and I love that you brought that up
01:45and it's a great question
01:46because
01:47the truth is
01:50I miss being uncomfortable
01:53which is why I wanted
01:55one of the many reasons
01:55why I wanted this role
01:57I know
01:58this role made me
01:59very uncomfortable
02:00and it was scary
02:01because I had to transform
02:03put on 30 pounds
02:05vocal transformation
02:06emotional transformation
02:08I'm playing another human being
02:09who's still alive
02:11who
02:13was addicted to drugs
02:14and overdosed twice
02:15and in the end
02:17as you know
02:18it's not the rocky ending
02:21it's the other side
02:22of
02:22winning
02:23which is called
02:24losing
02:25and pain
02:26that we explore
02:28so
02:29I wanted
02:30I wanted to challenge myself
02:32in ways
02:32I had not been challenged
02:33but I really wanted to
02:35just go
02:36extreme
02:37and jump
02:38off the cliff
02:39and be that uncomfortable
02:42and make
02:43and make sure that
02:45if I survive the jump
02:47then I wanted to do it again
02:49and again
02:50so we're
02:50developing with Martin Scorsese
02:53developing with Darren Aronofsky
02:55there's these projects
02:56where
02:57there's the cliff
02:58and I want to jump
02:59with these guys
03:00and not only that
03:01but also
03:02Damiano
03:02would challenge myself
03:04but also create
03:07hopefully
03:10create films
03:11create art
03:12that's enduring
03:15Dwayne
03:16in the end
03:16the movie talks about
03:18emotional
03:18and physical strength
03:20what do those
03:21strengths mean
03:22to you?
03:23Well strength
03:24I think
03:25is the
03:26I think the catalyst
03:27that can help
03:28all of us
03:29through the next thing
03:30we look to
03:32get through
03:32I always say
03:34to friends
03:35I'll say to you
03:36if you're going
03:37through something
03:38hey stay strong
03:39stay strong
03:41stay strong
03:42and how important
03:43that is
03:43and it's hard to do
03:44because the world
03:45is loud and noisy
03:46and there's so much pressure
03:48for us to do things
03:50and accomplish things
03:50and deliver
03:51so I think strength
03:53is the key component
03:54and this idea of
03:56because it's not always
03:58you know
03:58muscle strength
03:59it's here
