00:00Whoa, yeah, yeah, I know this one.

00:04Whoa.

00:08This is not from my movie.

00:15Well, I mean, once this is quoted by Obama, it's pretty easy to recognize.

00:20It says, yes, I'm the guy who does the job, you must be the other guy.

00:23That is the departed.

00:25Oh, who the fuck are you?

00:27I'm the guy who does his job.

00:28You must be the other guy.

00:29I'm the departed.

00:30My dad, God rest his soul, had never come and seen me on a movie set,

00:34but he came the day that I was shooting with Jack Nicholson.

00:38He wanted to see Jack, and he was also very curious about seeing

00:42if movie teamsters actually really worked or what kind of work they did.

00:46My dad was a teamster, but he drove a truck and, like, long distances,

00:50and so he didn't, uh, different from being on the movies.

00:54My dad loved the cinema.

00:55He was not impressed with any of my other work until I started acting.

00:59And then even with the departed, he said,

01:01now you can call yourself an actor.

01:03I'm not impressed with the paycheck.

01:04I'm impressed with the performance.

01:07Whoa.

01:08Yeah, this one's pretty obvious, too.

01:09I don't think there's going to be any difficult ones.

01:11We're starting off with this.

01:12Fuck you, Thunder.

01:14You can suck my dick.

01:15You can't get me, Thunder, because you're just God's farts.

01:18Is that Father Stu?

01:20I think that's Father Stu.

01:21No, that's Ted.

01:23Fuck you, Thunder.

01:25You can suck my dick.

01:26You can't get me, Thunder, because you're just God's farts.

01:30Can you fucking sing the Thunder Buddy song?

01:33Kids come up to me to sing that song.

01:35I mean, that and, you know, You Got the Touch or Boogie Nights

01:38are, like, my biggest, you know, movie hits.

01:40I've sung in a couple movies, so.

01:42Seth was kind of at the monitors, and he'd have a microphone,

01:45and, yeah, we'd play.

01:46I don't think anything was, like, over the line or anything,

01:50but the rules were different then, too.

01:52Okay, yeah.

01:53Hey, you promised me a shitload of fish.

01:57Perfect Storm.

01:59Hey, you promised me a shitload of fish.

02:01Oh, I remember the entire film, working with Wolfgang.

02:04It was such an amazing experience.

02:06It was kind of centered around this tragic event,

02:09and I remember living at the crow's nest

02:12and spending time with the Shatford family

02:15and going fishing with my character's brother

02:18and, like, really trying to immerse myself in that world,

02:22but also paying the kind of respect

02:24that I felt was necessary to the people

02:27and ensuring to them what our intentions were

02:30and that we were trying to make something

02:32that would honor their loved one's memory.

02:34My mom came to the set and met George and got a picture,

02:37and she had it on her wall.

02:39I think she liked that picture

02:40more than she liked the picture of her own kids.

02:43Oh, he likes me a lot. He loves me.

02:45He told me he wants to go out with me.

02:47I had told him I couldn't, but yeah.

02:49Yeah, she was convinced that he was, like, hitting on her.

02:52I said, I don't know about that, Mom.

02:54No, no, no, no, no, he told, trust me.

02:57I said, well, fuck it, have a baby with him.

02:59I want a little brother.

03:00You know, George could be my stepfather.

03:02It's all good.

03:07I'm the one fighting, okay?

03:09Not you, not you, and not you.

03:11You know why I know this one?

03:12Because fucking Paul Walter Howser says this

03:14about fucking three times a day

03:16on the movie that we're shooting right now.

03:18Yeah, The Fighter.

03:20I'm the one fighting, okay?

03:22Not you, not you, and not you.

03:24I trained for five years carrying around a,

03:27like, you see these crates to carry the lights and stuff?

03:30I was carrying speed bags and double-end bags and shit.

03:34We had the movie was a go at Paramount at a big budget,

03:37and then it fell apart, and then we lost Aaron Aronofsky,

03:40and we lost Brad Pitt, and we lost Matt Damon,

03:42and then it became an independent film

03:44with David O. Russell and Christian.

03:46The way we ended up making it, it took five years, on and off.

03:49But the thing with the boxing is, it wasn't like, okay,

03:52I could just, I trained for the five months,

03:54leading up to the initial production schedule,

03:56it fell apart, and then once we finally got the green light,

03:59I could just kind of pick up, either pick up where I left off

04:02or kind of, you know, retain those skills.

04:04So the only good part about that length of time

04:07was it allowed me to be that much more believable

04:09as a guy who could win the Welterweight title

04:12versus an actor who you've seen many times looking like,

04:15well, he probably has never been in a real fight,

04:17but, you know, I think we could shoot here, here, here,

04:20and lots of editing, so, because we shot all the fights in real time,

04:23and we tried to make it as real as possible.

04:26No, it was a lot of, a lot of training.

04:28All right.

04:30Oh, shit, I see your mother driving up and down the street looking at me.

04:33I'll be your stepfather in about a week.

04:35It's by the weekend, I think.

04:37But, yes, this is all improvised.

04:40This is pain and gain.

04:42This is me and that little boy on the street, my little crew.

04:45All that shit, most of that we improvised.

04:48Don't eyeball me, boy.

04:50I see your mother driving up and down the street looking at me.

04:52I'll be your stepfather by the weekend.

04:54This is when Michael Bay and I was our first film together.

04:56He and I met, I was about to do another film,

04:59and I was like, no, no, no, you gotta let me tear it up on this one

05:02and let me go, which is how Transformers kind of happened.

05:06You know, he liked what I did in Pain and Gain,

05:08so he was like, hey, come and do this.

05:10Bay-oss, all the Bay-oss, craziness.

05:14But super talented, has smarter guys,

05:17and, you know, technically, wow, the craft.

05:22Talented guy, learned a lot about filmmaking.

05:24Dwayne.

05:26I would say he spends more time in the gym,

05:28but I'm more efficient with my time in the gym.

05:32I am Queens Boulevard.

05:35Yes, this is Entourage.

05:38You kidding? I am Queens Boulevard.

05:41I mean, I remember the pilot, couldn't get anybody to want to do the pilot.

05:46And, like, begging people, calling for favors,

05:48everybody was like, you're doing a show about guys in the business?

05:51That's so stupid.

05:53It took, of course, everybody begging to be on the show

05:56and wanting to do cameos and willing to do anything to be a part of it.

06:00It was kind of loosely based,

06:02and we couldn't find four guys from Boston,

06:05so they found, you know, guys, they sent it to New York,

06:09and then you couldn't find a guy who was already

06:11kind of like an established actor or a star,

06:14so we found Adrian Grenier.

06:16He wasn't, like, the kind of physical rough and tumble,

06:19but definitely believable as the movie star,

06:21wonderful in the part, he did an amazing job.

06:24All the guys were fantastic.

06:26You know, it was the best Wish Fulfillment show of the last,

06:29I mean, it's as long as I can remember.

06:31Walter Housen just said this to me the other day.

06:33Yeah, I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly.

06:35Well, I was 100%.

06:38The other guys.

06:40I am a peacock, you gotta let me fly!

06:43You know, I had met with a bunch of different people,

06:45and we wanted to do comedy.

06:47There's been comedic elements in performances,

06:49but never, like, really taken a swing at, like, full-blown comedy.

06:52I met with some other people, and I was like, oh, well, I don't know.

06:55And then I met with Will and Adam.

06:57We went to have dinner, like, two blocks from here.

07:01Sat down, started talking for, like, 10 minutes,

07:04just about whatever at the time, and I was like, I'm in.

07:07They were like, in what?

07:09I was like, if you guys want to do a movie, I'm in.

07:11They were like, well, we have an idea, we haven't even told you the idea.

07:13I go, I don't care, I'm in.

07:15And then they were like, okay.

07:17Then they said, do you want me to tell you the idea?

07:19I said, absolutely.

07:21They told me the idea, that was the other guys,

07:23and then three months later we had a script,

07:25and then, you know, with Daddy's home,

07:27and he and I got some other things cooking, hopefully, so.

07:31How often is it you run into your high school sweetheart after 25 years?

07:35That would be the union with Hallie.

07:37How often is it that you run into your high school sweetheart

07:39after 25 long years?

07:41You know what, the chemistry is off the charts.

07:43I mean, you've seen these kind of movies before.

07:46It is a great twist on, you know, the whole kind of spy movie.

07:50We started out as a conversation saying, okay,

07:53would I ever get off with James Bond?

07:55It might be difficult, right?

07:57I might not get the first call, right, from Barbara Broccoli.

08:01I might not get the call.

08:03But what if we had our own blue collar?

08:05You know, James Bond, a guy who's plucked from obscurity

08:09and thrust into this world.

08:11That was the idea, right, that we came up with,

08:14and then, you know, it slowly grew into what the union has become.

08:18What sets it apart from everything else

08:20is that the chemistry is off the charts between us.

08:23Step two, there's so much we can do.

08:26This is not from my movie.

08:28This is a New Kids on the Block lyric.

08:30What the heck?

08:32Step two, there's so much we can do.

08:36Fuck no, I don't want to sing.

08:38I just had to sing Paul Walter Hauser

08:40and I had to sing this Gautier song together.

08:42Somebody that you used to know?

08:44Holy shit, I had to go in the studio on a Saturday in Australia

08:47with Peter Farrelly and him to sing the song.

08:50And we have to sing it at a party with Sacha Baron Cohen.

08:53You know, we were much more into hip-hop and breakdancing

08:56and stuff like that, and then, you know,

08:58once we started working with Maurice Starr

09:01and we were kind of like, you know, basically cast,

09:04we started recording in the studios

09:06and little rap songs and stuff, and he was like,

09:08hey, by the way, we're going to send you the vocal lessons tomorrow.

09:11I was like, that was not my thing,

09:13and I wasn't very good at it either.

09:15Whoa, yeah, yeah, I know this one.

09:17I want you to know that I plan on being a big star,

09:20a big, bright, shining star.

09:23Big, bright, shining star.

09:26Yes.

09:28That's, um, The Happening.

09:30No, Boogie Nights.

09:32I want you to know I plan on being a star,

09:35a big, bright, shining star.

09:37I was terrified because it was like,

09:40the pitch was tough, right?

09:43It's like Ted, you know, a guy and a teddy bear smoking weed.

09:46That doesn't sound very appealing, right?

09:48Or a porn star. I was like, ah, I don't want to do that.

09:51I had just come from Calvin Klein and all that stuff.

09:54I was trying to get away from all that.

09:56Showgirls had just come out.

09:58That movie was not successful.

10:00I had never met PTA.

10:02I didn't see Hard 8 or Sydney,

10:04but everybody was telling me how amazing it was.

10:06So I read 25 or 30 pages of it, put it down,

10:09waited till I met with him.

10:11And then I finished the script.

10:13I was cast in the part.

10:15You know, we were both 25 at the time.

10:17It was wild.

10:19I said, wow, that movie ain't getting made today.

10:21Not in the studio.
