-Come on! Welcome to the show! I'm so happy you're here. Welcome back. Uh, last time we met was on Zoom. -Zoom. That was a dark time. -No, but it was great. Thank you for helping me out in doing that. I appreciate that. We'll never forget that. People are really excited about "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" on Amazon Prime, Prime Video. [ Cheers and applause ] First time you guys ever worked together? -Yeah. First time. -Yeah. First time we met. -First time we met, yeah. -Yeah, you didn't know each other b

efore then, no? -No, I mean, we went to NYU together, so I -- [ Cheers and applause ] Yeah! -Yeah. There we go. -Yes! -Go, Bobcats. -[ Laughs ] I knew about Donald because he was in, like, a sketch comedy group, but he never knew about me. -Well -- No. Don't -- -Not in a -- Not in a weird way. -She came in after me. -Yeah, so it was impossible for you to know -- -Yeah. No, no. Of course. -If feel a sense someone from the future is gonna come here. -Named Maya. -Yeah. Did you feel like you comple

ment each other well? -I think so. I didn't think -- We -- We had Zoomed together, but I wasn't sure. We didn't do any chemistry read or anything. Like, she kind of just showed up, and, like, I feel like the awkwardness in the first episode, which is supposed to be there, was ripe. [ Laughter ] It was real and -- Like, you know, because we just didn't know each other. -Do you do things to like -- kind of like -- like, go out to lunch just to get to know each other or play games or go, like...? -

No, I feel like the way that we broke the ice was I told a really embarrassing story that I'm... -It was awesome. -...that I'm not going to share 'cause it's inappropriate. But once I shared that, it was like, "Oh, we can go, so, yeah, now we're okay, we're good." -Do you have similar interests? -Yeah! -Yeah! Why not? [ Laughter ] -Everything! -Yeah. No, I feel like -- -Movies. -I mean, she knows everything about movies. She would play this movie game on set, and, I mean, she's really, really go

od at it. And I'm not -- I don't know -- remember people's names. Like, basically it's the movie game where you spell out "movie" every time you get it wrong. But you start with, like, a person. Like, let's say, like, Keanu Reeves. -Yes, and then you have to name a movie Keanu Reeves is in. -Okay. I'll say Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. -And then you name another person who's in that. -I do? -Yeah. Or -- No. -The next person. You wouldn't. -Which would be me. And I would lose because I only k

now Keanu Reeves. -George Carlin. -Ohh. And then I would have to say a George Carlin movie? -Yeah. -Yeah. -And then that's -- -That's when I lose? -Oh. "Dogma." "Dogma." -Ohh! Wow. That -- That's good! Yeah! [ Cheers and applause ] -You can't leave. No, no. You can't leave twice. Yeah, yeah. That one. Yeah, that's it. Oh, that's a fun game. We've have to play that game next time you come on. -It's great. -I was going to ask you guys, did you talk about "Star Wars" at all together? 'Cause technic

ally you both have been in the franchise in some way. Was there any way your characters could ever meet or work together? -I mean, my character was more of a glorified extra. I wasn't really, like, a big part of the "Star Wars" franchise. -That's even -- Perfect. -I don't know if our timelines are exactly -- I'm trying to remember what timeline you're -- Because my son is very -- Oh, by the way, good night, you guys. Good night, my sons. -He knows his timeline? -Oh, he wouldn't let me be Lando f

or Halloween because, like, I mean, like -- Because he was like, "If we're going to be -- You wouldn't be born yet." Like, that's how in it he -- -Wow! -He's like, "Oh, you wouldn't be born yet. If the Clone Wars are happening, you're, like, a baby." And I was like, "Oh. Okay." But I don't -- I don't remember what time are -- -I think we are "technically" we're in the same timeline, but it's okay that we don't know that. Yeah, yeah. -Yeah, but so it could happen. -It could happen. -It could happ

en. We could make it happen. -Yeah. -We'll see. Uh, what drew you to this? Did you know anything about "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"? -I did not. -You didn't see the movie? -No. -Wow! Okay. -People are, like, shocked out there. They're, like, gasping like... -[ Gasps ] -"Sacrilege!" -"Yeah. You have not seen it?!" -No, I hadn't at the time. I mean, I -- I've seen it, obviously, by now. It'd be scary if I hadn't. It'd be like, "Oh, that's what this is about? Spies?" Um, but they -- they, like -- I hadn't

seen the movie, and someone was like, "Oh, you should see it if you want to redo it." I was like, "Okay." I'm not a big fan of remakes. But then I saw it, and I was like, "Oh, like, this is just like..." My brother was like, "It's a great date movie. It's like boys versus girls. It's a date movie." And I was like, "Oh, let's just make a..." You know, maybe they know each other as spies and, like, it's just a relationship, but with spies, like, kind of thing. -Did you talk to, uh, Brad Pitt at al

l or...? -I did. -You did?! -Yeah. -But he didn't give me, like, any real point-- He kind of Brad Pitt'ed his way out of it. He just kind of, like, you know, charmed his way. He was like, "Yeah, you know, you'll do great." And I was like... [ Laughter ] -"Thanks, Brad." -Like, "See you later." -Yeah. It makes you feel -- Yeah. And what did you think of when you were doing this? You think it was gonna be like the film or...? -I mean, I -- He had told me what it was going to be like, but I felt li

ke there was so much pressure and expectation around -- You know, Angelina Jolie. -Man: Whoo! Like, she's -- Yeah. Come on. I mean, the sexiest. You see? -You got a couple barks out there. -I got a bark. Like, she's unbeatable. -People are barking. People are barking when you say her name. Yeah. That man barked. He didn't know what to do. He was like -- [ Barks ] He couldn't figure out what to do. Yeah, he's like, "Do I clap, do I go, 'Yeah'?" He barked. -I know. So, I'm not that. And so I -- Wh

en we've been doing, like, press for this, there's been a lot of photo shoots and there's been wanting to be sexy photo shoots to really sex it up for this show. [ Chuckles ] And I had a -- I had a photographer who was like, "You know, this needs to be a really sexy shoot. Like, we need to get your inner sexy out. What's your -- What's your inner sexual animal?" And I was like, "Worm." Like, that's what came. Because... I know it's not sexy, but in my mind I'm like, "That's..." -Worms are sexy.

-Well, worm -- My friends call me "Worm" because they think I'm spineless sometimes. So I'm like -- That's why I'm Worm. And he's like, "That's not going to work. That's not going to work. You can't do worm." -A sexy worm? No. -I know, I know. So that's where I'm coming from. -Yeah, I understand. -And this isn't good to sell the show right now, but just so you know, we got there, but it was -- No, it is all there, by the way. It's all there. The sexy's there, the romance is there, the action is

there. The spy stuff. The stunts are insane. And it's gorgeous locations. -Yeah. We were everywhere. Yeah, it was a lot of, like -- -Italy? -Italy. We were in the Dolomites. We were in Como. We were in, like, Mexico. We've, like, been everywhere. It was a lot. It was like a ton of, like, running around. I just never -- I think, like, I've just never been in, like, something this big. I'm used to, like, going to Atlanta. Like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. That -- [ Cheers and applause ] -Which

you're great in. -That show was made on $5. -Yeah. -Like, mostly $5. -And this is explosions and action and fun. And I wanted to show everyone a clip.
