00:00First of all, it's very nice to see you,
00:02but you're here on a good day
00:03because you have a big crush on Helen Merritt.
00:06I just love her.
00:07I do.
00:08I've had a massive crush on her for years.
00:12Had you met her before?
00:14No, I haven't.
00:15Did you meet her backstage?
00:16No, no, didn't meet her backstage.
00:17I did, though.
00:19I'm glad I'm waiting to be on national television to admit this,
00:23but I was on a flight with her once to Rome,
00:25and when I got off the flight, I followed her.
00:30to baggage claim, and I, in a very voyeuristic, creepy way,
00:35I took a photo of her while she was walking.
00:38So I was kind of, yeah.
00:42Wow.
00:43Yeah, very creepy.
00:45So that's why I was avoiding seeing her backstage.
00:48Really?
00:49Because I didn't want her to know that I was stalking her
00:52in the Rome International Airport.
00:54Helen, come on out.
01:08I'm so glad.
01:09I was so glad.
01:12I'm like thrown in jail for that.
01:14Get a picture together.
01:15Oh, is he?
01:16Yeah.
01:16Oh, my God.
01:17Yes.
01:18Oh, I'm very red.
01:20I'm very red.
01:22Oh, my God.
01:22You're going to get a picture of the two of the back of them.
01:24Yeah, from the back.
01:25There we go.
01:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:27There we go.
01:32I would never be 20 minutes late for you.
01:35Oh, thank you.
01:38You got my husband in that shot as well.
01:40He's just in the front of me.
01:41Very nice to meet you.
01:42I think you're brilliant.
01:43Lovely to meet you, too.
01:43Oh, my gosh.
01:44You're just amazing.
01:44And you're so handsome.
01:45Oh, thank you.
01:46Oh, my God.
01:46Yeah.
01:47Gorgeous.
01:51Oh.
01:55Oh.
01:56Sorry.
01:58Bye.
02:01Lovely to meet you.
02:04Okay.
02:06Just had to give her my digits real quick.
02:08Yeah.
02:10Wow.
02:11You're trying to break up her marriage.
02:12That's pretty good.
02:12I know.
02:14You get one shot in life.
02:16That was my shot.
02:17Thank you.
02:18What a nice Christmas gift that was.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Now you have a Christmas card.
02:21Yeah, I do.
02:21We'll get that to you right away.
02:22Oh, excellent.
02:23So I love Westworld.
02:25I love it so very much.
02:27And you have done some really cool projects.
02:29You've done a lot of really cool things.
02:30I heard that you turned down Magic Mike.
02:35Embarrassingly, and admittedly, yes, I did.
02:38It was a role in the first Magic Mike that I said no to.
02:43Mainly because I was struggling with the idea of me prancing around in a thong.
02:48With maybe a handful of lines that could have ended up easily on the editing room floor.
02:52And I was like, I'll just become like a naked extra, maybe.
02:56Yeah.
02:56But that was also when there was no Magic Mike.
02:59Right.
02:59At the time it was like, is this gonna work or is this gonna be a disaster?
03:02And yeah, I have some regrets about maybe.
03:05Yeah, maybe, maybe.
03:06Maybe.
03:06It turned out to be okay.
03:07It turned out that a lot of people liked that movie, yes.
03:09A few people.
03:10Yeah, we have some photos of you that we would have been happy to see you in.
03:14Oh, Lord.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Yeah, I didn't see that coming.
03:19No.
03:22Walked right into it.
03:24All right.
03:27So let's talk about Westworld.
03:29So it got picked up for a second season already.
03:31It's nominated for a Critics' Choice Award, People's Choice Award.
03:35And explain the show if you can.
03:39I'll try.
03:40So it takes place in a futuristic theme park where paying guests can go and immerse themselves
03:46in a virtual reality, essentially, of a wild west town that's inhabited by robots
03:52that are virtually indistinguishable from human beings.
03:55And you can go and live out your most adventurous fantasy or your darkest fantasy or whatever
04:00and without any rules or repercussions.
04:04Yeah.
04:05And then there's some, the robots are getting real smart.
04:08Some of the robots are starting to figure out what's going on.
04:11It's JJ Abrams who did Lost.
04:14And so it really is.
04:16It's very clever and a really interesting concept and a scary concept.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Yeah.
04:22I don't know.
04:22I'm not smart enough to know really how much to be scared about the future of artificial
04:31intelligence.
04:32But there are people that work, like JJ, like Jonah Nolan, the showrunner as well, who are
04:37worried about robots getting too smart.
04:40Yeah.
04:40They are.
04:41There's some pretty smart robots out there and they just keep getting smarter.
04:44so it's a really interesting concept.
04:46And Anthony Hopkins is in, first of all, there's so many naked people in that.
04:51Like literally, because when the robots, they have to go back and get reprogrammed and worked
04:55on when they're killed and they come back.
04:57And so you just see people, human beings, they're not robots.
05:00They're human beings that are just completely naked sitting around.
05:05Yeah.
05:05Well, that one of the shots that you just showed of me, that I was naked in front of Sir
05:09Anthony
05:09Hopkins.
05:10That was a, it was like I lost a bet.
05:13Yeah.
05:14Yeah.
05:14You have to be naked in front of, yeah, there you go.
05:19That's a disappointed look on his face, isn't it?
05:23No, he created you.
05:25He created you.
05:26He created you.
05:26He did you just, he did you, you're okay.
05:29But wait, so when people are, because you can't move, you literally have to act like
05:33you're a robot that's not working anymore.
05:35So you can't blink, you can't move, you can't do anything.
05:38Well, you can because they, they're so far advanced that they are, again, they're just,
05:42they're virtually indistinguishable from humans until they go behind, off the main, you know,
05:49thoroughfare or whatever and back into the labs and are taken apart.
05:52It's almost like y'all did the original mannequin challenge.
05:55Like all of you, it's very cool.
05:58So it's the season finale of Westworld, it airs Sundays at 9 on HBO.
06:04I thought Twitch maybe could teach you some dance moves.
06:07So because you didn't do Magic Mike and I thought you and Twitch could maybe take us to break.
06:11I would, I would, I would love any, any point that you could give me.
06:14All right.
06:14Head on over there and.
06:16Where am I going?
06:17He's no Helen Mirren, but he's.
06:30He's not good.
06:42You need no help, sir.
06:44No, no, no, no, no.
