-
So the movie is called "Just Mercy,"
-
and it's with Jamie Foxx and Michael B. Jordan.
-
And it's a true story, and it's heartbreaking and beautiful and
-
good.
-
And tell everyone what it's about.
-
So it tells the story of this man named Bryan Stevenson, who
-
was a Harvard lawyer, and became very interested in these cases
-
that were happening of men that were being put on death row
-
with very little evidence.
-
And so it tells the story of him first discovering about this
-
and starting his organization, that is still up
-
and running now, called EJI-- the Equal Justice Initiative.
-
It focuses on one case in particular,
-
named Walter McMillian, played by Jamie Foxx.
-
And it's just-- it is a heartbreaking story,
-
but it is ultimately uplifting and so beautiful.
-
And we're so lucky to have people like Bryan
-
on this planet.
-
Yeah.
-
It's an amazing story.
-
I hope everybody sees this movie,
-
for so many different reasons.
-
But it's amazing that he-- this man does this.
-
All right.
-
Let's talk about-- you did "Running
-
Wild with Bear Grylls."
-
Yes.
-
Which, I cannot believe you did that.
-
Yes.
-
I think my mom feels the same way.
-
I mean, I--
-
OK, so there's one part where you
-
have to crawl upside down on a rope,
-
across a river that has crocodiles in it.
-
Yes.
-
How is that-- how was an insurance company allowing you?
-
Questionable.
-
And also I was, like, in the middle of "The Avengers" press
-
tour when I did this.
-
I, like, popped off for a weekend to Panama.
-
Yeah, this was my idea.
-
I can't even blame anyone for this, any of this.
-
But no-- but--
-
I mean, how is that--
-
I mean, he's gotten away with this for so long.
-
But somebody's going to get hurt.
-
It wasn't me.
-
[LAUGHTER]
-
Thank God.
-
So I walked off that island, like, good luck
-
to the next one.
-
It's really fun though.
-
I do recommend it.
-
If anyone-- if you ever come across Bear Grylls
-
and he's, like, oh, yeah-- if you--
-
if he was just, like, hey, little lady, come with me.
-
Just go, yes.
-
Do it.
-
I understand the donkey in Madrid.
-
I get the "yes" on that.
-
Right.
-
This "yes" I don't get.
-
Because really, there's no--
-
this is for real dangerous stuff.
-
I guess the problem was that I didn't
-
believe that it would be real.
-
Case in point was the first day.
-
We're walking around the mangrove,
-
and as we come around this corner, a crocodile
-
or alligator-- whichever one, goes, like, "Raa."
-
And I wasn't even fazed by it.
-
And everyone was, like, oh, my God.
-
And the camera was, like, good thing it did that.
-
So we'll go this way.
-
And I was, like-- yeah, but that wasn't real.
-
And they were like, what do you mean?
-
I was, like, that was an animatronic.
-
And they were like, no.
-
That was not part of the plan.
-
That's just a reptile that lives here.
-
An animatronic?
-
You thought you were at Universal Studios or something?
-
I mean, yes.
-
I realized that the only time I've been around something
-
like that was at Disneyland.
-
And so my brain just was, like, this is pretend land.
-
And I didn't think about--
-
Wow.
-
I know.
-
I've been working too much--
-
is what I've gotten out of this.
-
That's amazing.
-
Well, I can't believe you did that.
-
But it's amazing that you did that.
-
I'm very impressed by you in so many ways.
-
[APPLAUSE]
-
The movie is called, "Just Mercy."
-
It opens in select theaters Christmas day--
-
and everywhere January 10.
-
We'll be right back.
