And I just keep saying how much I love that movie, and I love you in it.

Before we go on, I just want to say how much I appreciate your underwear.

It's been very important to me since I was last on this show.

It was a very unattractive story, I'm afraid.

Yeah, because I don't have that much material, really.

My finger got jammed in a window, and I had to call for help.

And I was just wearing underwear at the time, and it was really sort of non-presentation underwear.

And I was reduced to the indignity of calling for help, which meant that I was rescued by my entire neighborhood.

And at the end of the show, you gave me a wonderful pair of underpants, which I have cherished.

That's wearing them too long, if you're sincere.

And they're like talismanic, and lucky, and in fact.

Let's talk about how naked you are in this movie, too.

Speaking of underwear, is this possibly the most naked you've ever been in a film?

I mean, you really can't get much more naked than I was.

And when you open the script, and you see the first scene says, naked man lies on bed, scene from above, and you're 48, you just sort of think, you know, career, force of gravity, body, things that happen.

Is it really worth that one final push against middle age?

And then I met Tom, who said, you know what?

But if you want a trainer, just for your own sake,

So I worked, you know, within an inch of my life to get somewhat presentable, at least enough for him to like me well enough.

And even in the opening beautiful scenes, there's a body, a naked body, floating in water, which is you.

I didn't know that that was you, but that's you floating in water.

Then you have to run into an ocean, which looked like it probably was freezing water.

And it doesn't do your ego any good either.

I mean, you go through all kinds of stuff when you know that, you know, I don't even want to be naked on the beach, frankly.

I can feel the women dressing me with their eyes.

And I just want to, I just, and I, you know, I look, it's funny because you don't, you never really have a true picture of yourself in the mirror.

Because you're always playing tricks on yourself in the mirror, you just are.

And I, I mean, I have a bathroom mirror, which I look into and I see Michelangelo's David, you know?

And then I have a bedroom mirror, which is Tales from the Crypt.

And if you're about to go and shoot a scene, you just don't know which one to believe.

And you and Matthew, he told a story, he was here the other day, of you met and immediately had to get naked, basically, in your underwear and get spray tanned together.

Yeah, and we know each other very well now.

If you're directing a movie and you want your two actors to bond, put them on the same flight, have them arrive at the hotel at the same time around 10 o'clock, and have them standing naked, drying off their suntan at 11.

We got sprayed, you know, I mean, this wasn't just for the sake of our own appearance or vanity.

We were supposed to be, we're guys who lived in California.

And we don't live in California, we live in places where you just don't turn that color.

But I have to say, you know, that little spray gun, that tans you in places you cannot possibly be tanned.

Well, there's just places the sun literally doesn't shine.

So it's a pretty thorough, comprehensive tanning experience.

I have never had that experience, and now I don't want to.

Now, was your wife pleased with your new body, your tanned, sculpted body?

She spent a couple of months being married to a gay man.

But no, she did actually, at one point, say thank you,

It's a little hard, you know, whether I can hold on to it for very long is another question.
