SO I LIKE THE IDEA OF A SOLID JOB, SURROUNDED BY COMEDIANS AND

HILARIOUS PEOPLE, EVERY TIME, YOU HAVE A GREAT GROUP HERE, WE

WERE JUST SITTING BACKSTAGE AND EVERYONE SAYS YOU ARE THE BEST

GROUP.

THIS IS THE BEST GROUP OF PEOPLE.

WE SWITCH THAT OUT.

>> James: CAN YOU IMAGINE, YOU JUST TURN THAT CUP AROUND, THE

"LATE, LATE SHOW" WITH CHRIS PRATT.

>> THIS IS A BIT.

[BLEEP] >> James: YOU HAD SUCH AN

EXTRAORDINARY CAREER.

I FEEL LIKE I FEEL LIKE IT HAPPENED, STARTED TO CHANGE KIND

OF BEFORE WE LAUNCHED THIS SHOW IN A WAY LIKE GUARDIANS OF THE

GALAXY HAPPENED AND IT REALLY WENT STRATS FERRIC IN THAT WAY,

TO BE ONE OF THE WORLD BIGGEST MOVIE STARS.

ARE YOU SOMEBODY THAT LOOKS BACK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND WHAT

YOU HAVE ACHIEVED IN YOUR CAREER?

>> YEAH, YEAH, I AM.

I MEAN THERE IS THAT SAYING OF, YOU KNOW, TRY TO, I DON'T KNOW,

I'M GOING TO MESS THIS UP BUT SOMETHING ABOUT SEEING THE

FOREST THROUGH THE TREES, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU ARE WORKING ON

SOMETHING, IT IS KIND OF HARD TO SEE THE FOREST THROUGH THE TREES

BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS JUST ANOTHER TREE AND YOU HAVE TO

FOCUS ON THE TREE OF THAT DAY BECAUSE EVERY DAY IS A

MONUMENTAL TASK AND SOME DAY YOU SEE THE SHOOT DAYS OF, YOU DON'T

WANT TO SEE IT BECAUSE IT IS OVERWHELMING, SO YOU GO TREE BY

TREE ABOUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO STEP BACK AND TAKE A LOOK AT IT.

I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR 20 YEARS.

IN L.A., AND L.A. GETS A BAD WRAP.

THERE IS A LOT OF WACKOS AND WEIRDOES WHO LIVE HERE, PEOPLE

ARE INSANE BUT THEY ARE ARTISTS AND ARTISTS ARE CRAZY, BUT THIS

TOWN HAS BEEN SOD GOO TO ME, MAN.

I MEAN I HAVE WAITED TABLES IN THIS TOWN.

AND I WAS A ROOM SERVICE WAITER AND TRYING TO PARK PEOPLE'S CARS

AND I HAD NO MONEY AND I HAVE, I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN I

COULD HAVE EVER POSSIBLY IMAGINED AND SO I FEEL GOOD

ABOUT IT, MAN.

IT IS A POSITIVE THING.

>> James: WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE TO LOS ANGELES WHAT KIND OF

PARTS WERE YOU AUDITIONING FOR WHEN YOU FIRST GOT HERE?

>> WELL, I MEAN, I WAS IN THAT-- IF YOU EVER READ BORN

STANDING UP BY STEVE MARTIN IT TALKED ABOUT THE TIME OF HIS

CAREER THAT WAS SURROUNDED BY UNCERTAINTY, WHY THAT WAS THE

BEST PART OF HIS CAREER, STEVE MARTIN WAS SELLING OUT STADIUM

WHERES, LIKE IN MY DECADE OF UNCERTAINTY, I WAS AUDITIONING

FOR LITERALLY ANYTHING.

JUST THE FACT THAT I COULD GET AN AUDITION WAS A ,UGE WIN.

I WAS LIKE GUESS WHO IS AUDITIONING FOR A FRISKIES

COMMERCIAL, HOME BOY?

THAT'S RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, AND IF I GOT IT I WOULD BE LIKE COME ON, BABY.

SO PUMPED.

AND SO LITERALLY ANYTHING.

AND I HAD, MY MANAGER AT THE TIME WHO HAS SINCE PASSED AWAY,

BONNIE OWENS, SHE WOULD SEND ME OUT FOR THINGS THAT I

ABSOLUTELY, UNEQUIVOCALLY WAS NOT RIGHT FOR AND WOULD NOT GET.

>> James: YEAH.

>> AND I WOULD JUST, AND I DIDN'T KNOW THAT AT THE TIME AM

I WAS JUST AMBITIOUS AND EAGER AND JUST LEARNED THE PROCESS OF

WALKING INTO A DOOR AND INTRODUCING YOURSELF TO THE

CASTING DIRECTOR.

AND YOU KNOW, MEMORIZING SIDES.

I JUST ROVED IT, MAN.

I UST LOVED IT.

IT DE FINED EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.

IF I AM AUDITIONING TWO WEEKS FROM RIGHT NOW, I WOULD ONLY

HYPERFOCUS ON THE LINES FOR TWO WEEKS.

I'M LIKE FRISK KEES IS THE BEST COMRGS, FRIS KEYS, FRIS KEYS

WITH ALL NEW, REAL TUNA FRIS KEYS, FRIS KEYS, I'M WALKING,

RUNNING, FRIS KEYS IS THE BEST, FRIS KEYS-- OH, FRRIS KEYS,

WHATEVER.

I WAS OBSESSED WITH IT I DON'T KNOW.

IT WAS A FUN TIME.

THAT MOMENT OF, THE TIME OF UNCERTAINTY.

EVERY LITTLE GAIN, YOU GET A CALLBACK TRK IS A MAJOR VICARY.

YOUR PEOPLE ARE LIKE SEM BRAITING, OH DUDE, THEY WANT YOU

BACK.

>> James: I MEAN YOU HAVE GOT TWO OLDER SIBLINGS.

>> YEAH.

>> James: DO YOU THINK THAT, HOW DID THAT IMPACT ON YOUR

RELATIONSHIP WHEN YOU WERE GROWING UP.

DID THEY SPOIL YOU AND SMOOTHER OR OR DID THEY PICK ON YOU AND

TORTURE YOU AS A KID.

WAS IT A BIT OF BOTH.

>> WELL, I'M THE YOUNGEST, YEAH, AND YOU KNOW, WE MOVED AROUND A

LOT.

AND THERE WAS LIKE MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY BROTHER

VERY TIGHT, VERY CLOSE.

I LITERALLY IDOLIZED HIM.

I WANTED TO BE HIM.

HE WOULD GET UNDRESSED AND THE NEXT DAY THE CLOTHES WOULD BE ON

THE GROUND AND I WOULD JUST PUT ON THE OUTFIT THAT HE WORE THE

PREVIOUS DAY.

UNDERWEAR AND ALL, JUST THE WHOLE THING.

AND HE WORE COLOGNE AND EVERYTHING, SO I WOULD PUT IT

AROUND AND WALK AROUND, DUDE, I LACK JUST LUKE MY BROTHER RIGHT

NOW, I KNOW I LOOK SO GOOD.

AND THEN WHEN I GOT, THREE YEARS YOUNG ARE THAN HIM, SO WHEN I

WAS A FRESHMAN AND HE WAS A JUNIOR, HE WAS LIKE NOW WE'RE IN

THE SAME SCHOOL BECAUSE HERE IN THE STATES YOU GOT HIGH SCHOOL

AND MIDDLE SCHOOL BUT WE WERE IN THE SAME SCHOOL NOW, HE WAS LIKE

YOU HAVE TO STOP DOING THAT BECAUSE ALL MY FRIENDS ARE

NOTICING THAT YOU ARE WEARING THE OUTFIT THAT I WORE

YESTERDAY.

AND SO I, YEAH, DEFINITELY IDOLIZED MY BROTHER.

WE NEVER FOUGHT.

WE WERE BOTH WRESTLERS.

AND SO WE WRESTLED FOR LIKE NO LESS THAN SIX OR SEVEN HOURS A

DAY IN THE LIVING ROOM, JUST DESTROYING ALL THE FURNITURE.

>> FULL ON LIKE OLYMPIC VIBE WRESTLING,.

>> James: NOT LIKE.

>> WE LUCK THAT, WE WENT TO SOME OF THE WRESTLE MANIAS DOWNTOWN

SEATTLE.

>> James: BUT YOU MEAN WRESTLING.

>> YEAH,.

>> James: I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TO WRESTLE YOU.

>> LET'S GO.

LET'S GO.

>> James: I'M IN THE EVEN JOKING.

>> YEAH?

>> James: I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

>> I KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS AND I APPRECIATE IT.

SO THANK YOU BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE TO WRESTLE YOU TOO. I

WOULD.

I ONCE TOLD-- YOU KNOW DAVE BATISTA IS GOING.

>> I WILL NOT WRESTLE HIM.

>> THERE WAS A MOMENT IN MY LIFE WHERE I WOULD TAKE SLEEP AIDS TO

HELP ME SLEEP.

>> James: SURE.

>> AND I DONE ANY MORE CUZ THEY SHALL-- BUT THE NEXT DAY HE

COMES, AND I WOULD HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM TEXTING, ON LUKE AN

AMBIEN THE.

THE INCOMES DAY HE COMES AND GOES HEY MAN, THAT TEXT YOU

ISN'T LAST NIGHT, I GO WHAT NEXT.

HE GOES YOU DON'T REMEMBER?

Z HA HA HA HA AND I WAS LIKE WHAT, HE WALKED OUT, I WHAT IS

LIKE WHAT, I TEXT HIM, IT IS A TEXT LIKE THIS LONG IT WAS LIKE

DAVE, I WANT TO WRESTLE.

I WANT TO WRESTLE YOU.

NO ONE NEEDS TO KNOW BUT I JUST WANT TO KNOW.

I THINK I COULD TAKE YOU.

I THINK I COULD WRESTLE YOU, BRO, LIKE COLLEGIATE RULES, NO

ELBOWS, NO KNEES, I JUST WANT TO FEEL THE POWER AND-- MORTIFIED

LIKE OH MY GOD, DAVE WOULD KILL ME, SO BAD.

>> I FANCY YOUR CHANCES, YOU SHOULD NEVER, EVER WRESTLE HIM,

EVER.

>> NO, HE IS BY FAR THE TOUGHEST DUDE IN ALL OF HOLLYWOOD.

>> I WANT TO TALK ABOUT YOUR BRILLIANT NEW MOVIE, HOWEVER, WE

HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF A HIDDEN TALENT THAT YOU HAVE AND I AM

HOPING THAT THIS IS TRUE, AND SOMETHING YOU CAN DO.

>> FART THE ALPHABET?

DIFFERENT, SOMETHING ELSE, NO, GO AHEAD.

>> James: THAT YOU CAN COMPLETE A RUBIK'S CUBE.

>> OH YEAH.

>> James: IN UNDER A MINUTE, SO WE'RE CURIOUS TO SEE IF YOU

CAN DO THIS WHILE TALKING ABOUT AND PROMOTING YOUR NEW MOVIE, IS
