  • -Hey, I have to talk to you about something,

  • because there's been some headlines about you

  • last couple of days.

  • Do you know what I'm talking about?

  • -Yeah. It's really stressing me out.

  • -Well, your fans are upset, because, apparently,

  • everyone's broken-hearted that the gap in your teeth

  • is not there anymore.

  • And fans are heartbroken. People are upset.

  • No one knows what to say. What is going on?

  • What -- The gap is gone? What's up?

  • -Yeah. Well, first of all, the fact that this is

  • a newsworthy event in our world right now

  • is pretty Chaka Khan to me.

  • -Chaka Khan. -Chaka Khan.

  • -Yeah, why is everyone upset?

  • -Well, so I had a permanent retainer since I was like 13,

  • and it was just glued to the back of my teeth.

  • And I was having a lot of neck problems recently,

  • so my orthodontist -- she decided that it would be

  • a good idea to take it off and see if my jaw sort of expanded.

  • And it helped me, and my gap closed by itself.

  • And I'm really sad about it, too.

  • -Now, wait, wait. Hold on a second.

  • First of all, you got to walk me back.

  • Your neck bothered you,

  • and so that's what made you take the retainer

  • out of your mouth?

  • Like, is that a thing? Has anyone ever heard of that?

  • -Yeah. That is a real thing. Yeah.

  • -So if your neck bothers you, it might be your teeth?

  • -Well, as you grow as a human being, your...

  • -Uh-huh.

  • -...your skull expands and your jaw and your teeth move.

  • You know, your teeth don't look like they did

  • when you were a baby.

  • -They do, actually. I was born...

  • I was born with veneers. -Oh. Cool. Cool.

  • -I broke this tooth. This one is fake.

  • -Let me feel it.

  • -It's not going to feel different.

  • It feels like a tooth. -Not if you go like this.

  • Can you hear that? -It sounds like a tooth.

  • -It's like when knock on a hollow part of a wall.

  • -Is that one fake, too? -Are they both fake?

  • -All my teeth are fake. Yeah, actually.

  • This one might be fake, as well. Yeah. That's weird.

  • -Yeah. -But let me tap on your tooth.

  • -Okay.

  • -You don't have any nails. -Yeah. I don't have any nails.

  • I know. I took them off before the show.

  • I want to talk to you -- -Anyway, hold on.

  • This is really important. -Yeah.

  • -I'm sad about my gap tooth, too.

  • So I'd really appreciate some privacy in this time --

  • -Wait. What?

  • First of all, don't demand -- don't demand --

  • Don't clap for that. Don't demand or clap.

  • You demand some privacy? -Yeah.

  • -I think it looks beautiful.

  • -Well, I have to deal with a whole new world of problems.

  • -No. -Getting food stuck in my tooth.

  • -That's your new thing?

  • -Yeah, because before, it would just slide right through.

  • -So your whole life has changed,

  • and you're dealing with it, as well.

  • -Yeah.

  • -Just as much as the public and your fans are dealing with --

  • -Yeah, but it's going to come back.

  • -The gap will come back? -Yeah.

  • -How? -Other retainers.

  • -So you're gonna get a retainer to split your tooth --

  • -The world of dentistry is so advanced --

  • -Wait. Are you serious about this?

  • Because, what if -- Dude, what if you come back,

  • you get a gap, and then your neck hurts?

  • Then what? Then where do we go? Back to the drawing board.

  • -No, because we're gonna do it in a really

  • holistic, sort of, like, osteopath--

  • -Don't even talk to me about this.

  • Hey, I do want to -- I have a story I want to bring up.

  • And I don't even want to talk about it.

  • But I heard this rumor that you used to make reservations

  • at a dinner -- dinner reservations at a restaurant

  • under a famous person's name.

  • Do you know what I'm talking about?

  • -Mm-hmm, yeah.

  • -You used to call up and say you have a table for George Clooney.

  • -Yeah.

  • -Why?

  • -Because I wanted to go to the good restaurants

  • when I was growing -- when I was in high school.

  • -Do you know George Clooney? -No, I don't.

  • -So, wait.

  • You would call up and go,

  • "Hey, table for four, George Clooney"?

  • -Yeah, 'cause nobody else is named George Clooney.

  • Also, it works every time. Try it.

  • -I should actually try, yeah.

  • -Next time you can't get into a restaurant --

  • -I can't get into any restaurant, yeah.

  • -But I used to do that when I was a teenager.

  • -And you'd call up and say George --

  • And then what would happen when you'd show up?

  • -I'd say, "He's going to join us later."

  • It'd be, like, a bunch of kids.

  • -Does George know that you do this?

  • -Well, I met him a couple of years ago.

  • We were traveling to the Toronto Film Festival

  • and we happened to be on the same plane.

  • And I was like, "Hi. I'm Dakota."

  • And he's like, "Oh, I've heard of you.

  • I know what you do."

  • -"I know what you do," is what he said?

  • -Yeah. He was like, "You call and you use my name.

  • It's okay." -He really did that?

  • -Yeah. -So he said it's okay?

  • -Yeah. -So you continued to do it?

  • -Yeah. -Yeah. Why not?

  • I think it's fun. -All the time.

  • -Let's talk about your movie, "The Peanut Butter Falcon."

  • -Yeah. -Tell me about this.

  • And what is the movie about, for anyone watching.

  • -"The Peanut Butter Falcon" is about a young man

  • with down syndrome who escapes a nursing home

  • to fulfill his dream of becoming a professional wrestler.

  • -And is this -- Who is the actor?

  • -His name is Zack Gottsagen.

  • -It was his first film, is that correct?

  • -It was his first feature film, yeah.

  • He had made one kind of smaller film before.

  • -Did you get to -- It's him and Shia, right?

  • -Him and Shia LaBeouf. -Shia LaBeouf.

  • -Yeah, the other Shia. -Is there two Shias?

  • -No. -No.

  • That's the name I use to get reservations, by the way.

  • -Yeah. -Table for two, Shia LaBeouf.

  • How was it working with Shia? He's a little...

  • He's a little reckless a little bit, wasn't he?

  • -I think that, sometimes, on occasion,

  • he can be a little reckless.

  • However, on this film, Zack, who is the other star of the film,

  • is a really incredible person.

  • He's the most pure and loving and genuine, nonjudgmental

  • human being I've ever met in my life.

  • And he totally changed my world

  • and totally changed Shia's world, too.

  • And the three of us became really close.

  • They became very, very close.

  • And it kind of totally shifted things for Shia, I think.

  • -Oh, good.

-Hey, I have to talk to you about something,
