-How is everything? How's the family? How are the kids?
-
How old are the kids? -Everybody's good.
-
I have a 7-year-old and almost 4-year-old.
-
We are similar, right? -Yeah.
-
5 1/2, very technical. And a 4-year-old.
-
5 1/2 and a 4-year-old.
-
-If we're going that far, then I have a 3 and an 11-month-old.
-
-[ Laughs ] -Yes.
-
-I mean, seriously, they really take that seriously.
-
"No, Dad. I'm 5 1/2."
-
-Yeah. No, that's exactly the problem.
-
They feel like the limited amount of knowledge
-
that they have at this age,
-
they act as if they're masters of that knowledge.
-
And uses it consistently. -Oh, yeah.
-
-In a manner like you're stupid, Mom.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-Of course, yeah.
-
-Like, my 3 and 11-month-old always says -- I'll say like,
-
"Isn't the sunrise so beautiful?"
-
She'll be like, "Actually, Mom --"
-
-Actually is good. -"Actually, it's very rude
-
to just say that the sun is beautiful."
-
I'm, like, driving in the car.
-
-Where do they get those words like "actually"?
-
-First of all, I think a stranger
-
comes into my house at 3:00 a.m.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
Because none of us use any of the words.
-
Like, she learned martial arts.
-
The little one learned, like, technical martial arts.
-
Like, full perfect wrestling grips.
-
I don't know where she learned it.
-
I think a trainer comes in at 3:00 a.m. and trains her.
-
-"Actually, we're gonna first do this one actually.
-
Then we're going to actually --" Yeah.
-
-No, I came in the other day, and she literally, like,
-
had my assistant in, like, a back lock, in like a full grip.
-
And she wouldn't let go.
-
And my poor assistant was like, "Augie, you got to let me go."
-
And I was somewhat impressed.
-
But I was like, where is she learning all of this stuff?
-
-That's cute, though. -Yeah.
-
-When they're that little,
-
you don't even want them to let them go of you.
-
-My 7-year-old said to me the other day --
-
She's like, "You know, Medusa's in our pool."
-
I said, "I had no idea Medusa lived in our pool."
-
I said, "Where is she from, by the way?"
-
And she just looked at me and she went, "New Jersey."
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-We all knew that, of course. New Jersey.
-
Maybe Seth is rubbing off on them.
-
Yeah, hanging out with Seth.
-
-It might be Seth that's coming over.
-
-Yeah, Seth Rogen, yeah.
-
-Yeah, 'cause he did karate as a kid.
-
So, yes, this makes sense!
-
-This is all blame -- -We figured it out!
-
-We blame Seth Rogen! -It's Seth!
-
-We blame you, Seth.
-
I'm so excited that you got together with Seth.
-
I love the movie. -Thank you.
-
-It's super fun.
-
I don't think I've ever seen you in a romantic comedy, have I?
-
-No, I am in movies where I get killed, or I kill.
-
-Yeah. -Or I'm just a bitch.
-
-Yeah, but no. This one though --
-
-That's my range.
-
-What made you want to do this and work with Seth?
-
-You know, honestly, it was him. I'm a huge fan.
-
-Yeah, me too.
-
-And I really love the movies that he makes.
-
Not, you know, only as an actor, but what he writes and produces.
-
And I never thought that I would somehow fit into that world.
-
But he sent me the script, and there was something about it
-
that felt grounded enough that it felt like it could
-
really work between the two of us.
-
-Yeah, I mean, he comes off as a stoner,
-
but he really puts a lot of thought into everything.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
I know, he does that, but he really is a very good producer.
-
-Listen, I have never witnessed anything like it.
-
It's impressive. -Right?
-
-It's really impressive.
-
The first meeting we had, we started --
-
we knew we had to develop the project.
-
And it took about five -- over five years for us
-
to develop this, and in the first meeting,
-
I was just really impressed by his confidence,
-
his intelligence, how well he knows story,
-
and then he lit a joint and took a hit off it.
-
[ Laughter ]
-
-And then it was off the rails.
-
-It was like I was in the presence of Einstein.
-
It was like off the charts.
-
-Wait, what? -No, he gets -- He takes a hit.
-
-He was the opposite? -No, he gets so smart.
-
He gets so smart. He gets so focused.
-
He gets so creative.
-
I mean, literally, on days I would just follow him
-
and be like, "Please smoke, just smoke. Please smoke.
-
Please. Please smoke." [ Laughter ]
-
-Get it together. Come on, buddy.
-
-We need a hit. We need this movie to be great. Please.
-
-It's a great idea, the plot of this film.
-
Would you like to explain what it's about?
-
-Yeah, I mean, it's a little bit of a reverse of
-
what we know romantic comedies to be.
-
It's usually the guy who's in the role of power,
-
but my character is in the role of power.
-
She's the Secretary of State.
-
-Good for you. -Thank you.
-
[ Applause ]
-
It's just a character. -I like it.
-
-It's not me. I'm just playing a part.
-
But I'll take it, and she -- the president in the first act
-
decides that he's not gonna run.
-
He's not gonna rerun, and he --
-
because he wants to have a career in film.
-
-The president -- the actual President of the United States.
-
-The actual President of the United States, yes.
-
And he was an actor
-
who was playing a president on a TV show before,
-
but now he wants to break into film.
-
So she decides to run,
-
but she realizes that in the polls that she's lacking.
-
People don't find her funny enough.
-
She has a weird wave -- you know, all the weird things
-
that we scrutinize female politicians for.
-
And so she hires Seth Rogen's character, who is a journalist,
-
who has gotten fired and is a little bit too much
-
of an ideologist to be a writer who has a job,
-
and they also know each other.
-
She used to baby-sit for him.
-
So we go on this journey and we kind of rediscover each other
-
and fall in love with each other.
-
-You have great chemistry. -Yeah.
-
-It's really, really great.
-
Hopefully you guys do more films together.
-
In this scene right here,
-
you guys are on Molly, I will say, right? Ecstasy?
-
-Molly. -Molly, okay. Yeah, Molly.
-
There's a difference, okay.
-
And -- but you -- is this --
-
is this method acting, or is this just acting, acting?
-
[ Laughter ]
-
You don't have to tell me. Okay.
-
-It's a little bit of both. -Okay, perfect. Very good.
-
Here's Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen in "Long Shot."
-
Take a look at this.
-
[ Cheering ]
-
-Madam Secretary.
-
Madam Secretary, listen to me.
-
-Dance with me, Steven! Dance!
-
-You have a situation. -Huh?
-
♪♪
-
♪♪
-
-How much longer is this Molly stuff gonna last?
-
-We just re-upped.
-
You kept saying you wanted to take more so we did.
-
So we have another, maybe, four or five hours.
-
Yeah. Why?
-
-I'm in so much trouble.
-
-What's happened?
-
-I'm going to be in so much trouble.
-
-What's happened? -All right, all right.
-
-Are they out of water?
-
[ Laughter and applause ]
-
-Charlize Theron, everybody.
