00:00:22,564 --> 00:00:25,324
Today's guest is
a friend and a brother,
3
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:27,688
actor, producer,
writer, director.
4
00:00:27,736 --> 00:00:29,946
More importantly,
just an amazing talent.
5
00:00:29,988 --> 00:00:33,488
Im talking about none other
than Don Cheadle.
6
00:00:33,533 --> 00:00:35,543
-Oh, man, look at this.
-Kevin.
7
00:00:35,577 --> 00:00:37,367
-Come on, wow, what a walk, huh?
-I try.
8
00:00:37,412 --> 00:00:38,662
-What a walk out.
-I mean, well, hey, now,
9
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:40,705
it's you.
How am I gonna walk out?
10
00:00:40,749 --> 00:00:42,499
Look at that. Look at the way
you came from there to here.
11
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:43,712
Can we run it back?
Is there any way we can see it?
12
00:00:43,752 --> 00:00:45,552
-We can't. We can't.
-Oh, okay.
13
00:00:45,587 --> 00:00:46,917
-I don't think
you want to see it. -Should I sit?
14
00:00:46,963 --> 00:00:48,553
-Now you can.
-Okay. Excellent.
15
00:00:48,590 --> 00:00:50,470
Don, this is my talk show.
Please don't tell me what to do.
16
00:00:50,508 --> 00:00:52,838
-No, I said, "Can I sit?"
-I know, but the way you said it was aggressive.
17
00:00:52,886 --> 00:00:55,216
-For once... but for once,
-This is gonna be great.
18
00:00:55,263 --> 00:00:56,603
-let me... let me be in control.
-You got it.
19
00:00:56,639 --> 00:00:59,229
God! Welcome
to "Hart to Heart," Don.
20
00:00:59,267 --> 00:01:01,937
-Thank you, brother.
-Huh? You see how I turned it on just now?
21
00:01:01,978 --> 00:01:03,688
-Like that. Yeah.
-Welcome, Don,
22
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:06,400
to "Hart to Heart," man.
Uh, it's a pleasure.
23
00:01:06,441 --> 00:01:09,491
-It really is a pleasure
to have you here. -The pleasure's all mine, Kevin.
24
00:01:09,527 --> 00:01:14,487
Don, I know you're not drinking,
but I have a sommelier.
25
00:01:14,532 --> 00:01:16,032
-Oh, you siddity.
-I drink wine here.
26
00:01:16,076 --> 00:01:18,576
Uh, the reason why is
because here on "Hart to Heart,"
27
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:20,910
I believe that
amazing conversations happen
28
00:01:20,955 --> 00:01:22,415
over a glass of wine.
29
00:01:22,457 --> 00:01:24,667
This is my sommelier right here.
30
00:01:24,709 --> 00:01:27,049
-Mr. Cheadle. Mr. Hart.
-Yeah, Don can have water.
31
00:01:27,087 --> 00:01:29,457
-Absolutely.
-What are we drinking today? What kind?
32
00:01:29,506 --> 00:01:33,386
-North Coast, 2018. Belleruche.
-Ooh. Ooh! Ooh!
33
00:01:33,426 --> 00:01:35,426
-Not the Belleruche.
-Oh, my goodness.
34
00:01:35,470 --> 00:01:37,390
And for Mr. Cheadle,
Los Angeles' finest.
35
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:38,970
-Yeah.
-High pH.
36
00:01:39,015 --> 00:01:40,265
Spikot water.
37
00:01:40,308 --> 00:01:41,978
-SOMMELIER: May I?
-From the spikot.
38
00:01:42,018 --> 00:01:44,098
Yeah. You can go ahead and pour
that for me. Thank you, man.
39
00:01:44,145 --> 00:01:47,265
-Very well.
-How is it that you can pronounce "sommelier," but...
40
00:01:47,315 --> 00:01:49,105
-But what?
-you get "spigot" wrong?
41
00:01:49,150 --> 00:01:51,530
-Spikot water for what? Spikot?
-You don't drink wine.
42
00:01:51,569 --> 00:01:53,859
-You didn't want wine.
-You say "spikot" with a "K"?
43
00:01:53,905 --> 00:01:55,365
Spikot. Spikot water.
44
00:01:55,407 --> 00:01:57,237
-Spigot.
I think it's with a "G." -Spikot.
45
00:01:57,283 --> 00:01:58,543
-Spikot water.
-You're not even...
46
00:01:58,576 --> 00:02:00,406
That's enough for him.
That's enough.
47
00:02:00,453 --> 00:02:02,373
He doesn't need more than that.
48
00:02:02,414 --> 00:02:05,214
-Thank you. Thank you.
-Thank you. -Please enjoy, gentlemen.
49
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:06,540
-My guy.
-Thank you. Please enjoy.
50
00:02:06,584 --> 00:02:08,294
-Much appreciated.
-I might need more.
51
00:02:08,336 --> 00:02:09,876
-I'll be back.
-This is gonna be one of those interviews
52
00:02:09,921 --> 00:02:11,631
that go... that go long.
53
00:02:11,673 --> 00:02:13,763
Could I have a splash
of wine in...?
54
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,470
-No. No, you don't need it.
-Cool. You're right.
55
00:02:15,510 --> 00:02:17,600
Uh, Don, man, I'm dead serious
56
00:02:17,637 --> 00:02:19,807
when I say it's a pleasure
to have you here, dude.
57
00:02:19,848 --> 00:02:21,598
One of my closest friends
in the business. I can say that.
58
00:02:21,641 --> 00:02:22,851
-Yep. Yep.
-Right?
59
00:02:22,892 --> 00:02:24,732
How many years
we been friends now?
60
00:02:24,769 --> 00:02:26,479
(sputters)
Dude, it's... I don't even...
61
00:02:26,521 --> 00:02:28,481
-What's the number?
-If I would say a number,
62
00:02:28,523 --> 00:02:32,073
-Yeah.
-I would say... 1998.
63
00:02:32,110 --> 00:02:34,070
A real friend is
a very rare breed
64
00:02:34,112 --> 00:02:35,612
in this town that we live in.
65
00:02:35,655 --> 00:02:37,275
I feel like it comes very far,
few and in between.
66
00:02:37,323 --> 00:02:39,123
And when you find
good relationships,
67
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:40,409
you hold on to them, Don.
68
00:02:40,452 --> 00:02:42,292
You, my friend,
are a good relationship.
69
00:02:42,328 --> 00:02:45,328
You're one that I've held on to.
Let's get to the interview, Don.
70
00:02:45,373 --> 00:02:48,003
-You're right.
-Drugs: do you do them?
71
00:02:48,043 --> 00:02:50,093
Wow! Just right to it.
72
00:02:50,128 --> 00:02:52,258
-The people want to know.
-Do the people want to know,
73
00:02:52,297 --> 00:02:53,967
-or do you want to know?
-I mean...
74
00:02:54,007 --> 00:02:56,467
'Cause you'd think a friend...
75
00:02:56,509 --> 00:02:59,509
-Yeah.
-...would already know that.
76
00:02:59,554 --> 00:03:01,814
Seems like you're running
from the question to me.
77
00:03:03,308 --> 00:03:05,558
-(clears throat quietly)
-Yeah.
78
00:03:05,602 --> 00:03:07,102
I guess we'll leave that one
in the air.
79
00:03:07,145 --> 00:03:09,105
-We'll put a pin in that.
-Here, here, let's do this.
80
00:03:09,147 --> 00:03:11,227
-We'll put a pin in it.
-What kind of drugs?
81
00:03:11,274 --> 00:03:14,154
-Well, Don, I don't know.
-Class A drugs?
82
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,574
What's class A?
83
00:03:15,612 --> 00:03:17,202
Like you don't know
what class A drugs are.
84
00:03:17,238 --> 00:03:18,868
-What is a class A...
-Kevin, stop.
85
00:03:18,907 --> 00:03:20,907
-Stop. Stop.
-I have no idea what class A means, Don.
86
00:03:20,950 --> 00:03:23,540
-We know. Stop.
We know you know. -What does class A mean, Don?
87
00:03:23,578 --> 00:03:25,748
-Kevin.
-Is that the hard stuff?
88
00:03:25,789 --> 00:03:27,709
(laughing)
89
00:03:27,749 --> 00:03:29,539
That's the stuff
that certain "friends"
90
00:03:29,584 --> 00:03:31,754
-Okay. Okay. All right...
-...may have.
91
00:03:31,795 --> 00:03:33,415
So now you want me
to stop, right?
92
00:03:33,463 --> 00:03:35,053
-Yeah. This is...
-Okay, that's cool.
93
00:03:35,090 --> 00:03:37,340
You just... you went...
you went to someplace where...
94
00:03:37,384 --> 00:03:38,724
where we're not supposed to go.
95
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,300
I don't know.
You tee up drugs and then you...
96
00:03:41,346 --> 00:03:43,136
seems like it's
a wide open lane,
97
00:03:43,181 --> 00:03:44,721
and I start to get specific,
98
00:03:44,766 --> 00:03:46,556
and you're like,
"Okay, that's enough."
99
00:03:46,601 --> 00:03:49,731
Here's what I respect the most
about Mr. Cheadle.
100
00:03:49,771 --> 00:03:52,111
I don't know how... I
don't know how you've done this.
101
00:03:52,148 --> 00:03:54,688
I have no idea
how you've done it, and I'm...
102
00:03:54,734 --> 00:03:57,034
honestly, I'm in awe of it.
103
00:03:57,070 --> 00:04:00,910
Your private life is so...
104
00:04:00,949 --> 00:04:04,949
so hidden,
so out of reach from the masses,
105
00:04:04,994 --> 00:04:06,714
from the public.
106
00:04:06,746 --> 00:04:10,826
I mean, wha... who you are
outside of the business,
107
00:04:10,875 --> 00:04:12,665
what you are
outside of the business,
108
00:04:12,711 --> 00:04:14,711
it's a high level of unknown.
109
00:04:14,754 --> 00:04:18,224
You know, it's really what you
choose to allow people to see.
110
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:21,468
How have you...
how have you managed to control
111
00:04:21,511 --> 00:04:23,971
that narrative in a... in a way
112
00:04:24,014 --> 00:04:26,774
where it's honestly
just in your favor?
113
00:04:26,808 --> 00:04:28,768
Like, and even in times today,
where it can sway...
114
00:04:28,810 --> 00:04:31,400
-Right.
-...where people can dig, it's never been a question.
115
00:04:31,438 --> 00:04:32,978
And there's only a few,
there's only a few
116
00:04:33,023 --> 00:04:36,033
that actually have done that--
you are one of the few.
117
00:04:36,067 --> 00:04:39,947
I-I honestly think
it's a mix of, uh,
118
00:04:39,988 --> 00:04:43,618
me trying to protect it and be
really careful about what I do
119
00:04:43,658 --> 00:04:47,158
and where I go, and...
120
00:04:47,203 --> 00:04:49,293
and people not giving a shit.
121
00:04:49,330 --> 00:04:51,170
It's that...
(laughing)
122
00:04:51,207 --> 00:04:54,087
-and people don't care.
-What do you mean, "People don't care"?
123
00:04:54,127 --> 00:04:56,587
I mean, you know,
I've had paparazzi follow me,
124
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:58,919
and-and then they're like...
125
00:04:58,965 --> 00:05:00,965
"You're not...
you're not gonna do nothing?"
126
00:05:01,009 --> 00:05:04,179
-I'm like, "I'm at the store,
I'm gonna buy some eggs, -Yeah. Yeah.
127
00:05:04,220 --> 00:05:06,430
and I'm gonna go over there and
I'm gonna get some broccoli."
128
00:05:06,473 --> 00:05:08,143
They're like, "This..."
129
00:05:08,183 --> 00:05:09,353
That's it. It's nothing.
130
00:05:09,392 --> 00:05:11,062
They don't care.
It's not exciting.
131
00:05:11,102 --> 00:05:12,482
I'm not... there's nothing out
there to really, like, watch.
132
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,860
I'm really a dude
from the Midwest
133
00:05:14,898 --> 00:05:18,148
who came from a family with
two parents and a, you know,
134
00:05:18,193 --> 00:05:20,363
a dog and very kind of basic,
boring shit.
135
00:05:20,403 --> 00:05:21,993
There's not a whole lot,
136
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:24,160
and I kind of created that
with my life.
137
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:25,989
I have a wife.
My kids are grown now. We...
138
00:05:26,034 --> 00:05:28,754
-Okay.
-So I'm not out there in the streets
139
00:05:28,787 --> 00:05:30,207
to be a part of a lot of stuff
140
00:05:30,246 --> 00:05:32,246
that people would want to know
a lot of stuff.
141
00:05:32,290 --> 00:05:34,540
And I also think, as an actor,
142
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:37,884
it kind of helps
to be less known.
143
00:05:37,921 --> 00:05:40,381
-Mm-hmm.
-Because then I think peo... it's easier for people
144
00:05:40,423 --> 00:05:42,343
to believe you
in the roles you're in,
145
00:05:42,384 --> 00:05:43,594
because they're not like,
146
00:05:43,635 --> 00:05:45,175
"Oh, no,
that's that dude that that."
147
00:05:45,220 --> 00:05:47,010
They're like, "I don't really
know who that dude is.
148
00:05:47,055 --> 00:05:49,215
-He's a cipher, a little bit."
-You know what's crazy is,
149
00:05:49,265 --> 00:05:50,675
I don't even want to say...
150
00:05:50,725 --> 00:05:54,515
It's kind of a old-school,
uh, way of thinking,
151
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:57,022
-Hmm.
-because it's true, right?
152
00:05:57,065 --> 00:06:00,685
What you just said is... it's
so true, and it makes sense,
153
00:06:00,735 --> 00:06:03,855
and I've heard
the Denzels of the world say it.
154
00:06:03,905 --> 00:06:06,485
I've heard the Samuel L.
Jacksons of the world say it.
155
00:06:06,533 --> 00:06:08,913
You know,
I hear you now saying it,
156
00:06:08,952 --> 00:06:11,872
that less is more from
what you give to the public.
157
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:14,003
Uh, do you feel like the changes
158
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,040
that have come
with the times today,
159
00:06:16,084 --> 00:06:19,214
uh, is it... is it better,
in your opinion,
160
00:06:19,254 --> 00:06:22,174
for the younger generations
of actors and actresses
161
00:06:22,215 --> 00:06:24,875
that are coming up, that
are allowed and able to give
162
00:06:24,926 --> 00:06:26,716
-so much more to their fan base?
-Right.
163
00:06:26,761 --> 00:06:28,601
Do you like that side of it,
or do you not like it?
164
00:06:28,638 --> 00:06:30,388
I don't...
I mean, well, now it's, like,
165
00:06:30,432 --> 00:06:31,772
-it's almost required, like...
-Mm-hmm.
166
00:06:31,808 --> 00:06:33,978
like, they're...
they cast people off of
167
00:06:34,019 --> 00:06:36,059
if they have
Instagram followers,
168
00:06:36,104 --> 00:06:37,904
what their following is or not,
you know?
169
00:06:37,939 --> 00:06:39,819
That-that gives them an edge
over another actor in a role.
170
00:06:39,858 --> 00:06:43,278
So that's something that's
completely brand-new to me.
171
00:06:43,319 --> 00:06:46,909
And that they're expected
to participate in that in a way
172
00:06:46,948 --> 00:06:49,158
that's not just, like,
like we do a press junket.
173
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,200
It's not that. It's like,
"Oh, you need to post this.
174
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:53,414
"You need to make sure
you get on this on Instagram.
175
00:06:53,455 --> 00:06:55,245
You need to tweet this out."
176
00:06:55,290 --> 00:06:58,040
So there's a huge public-facing,
177
00:06:58,084 --> 00:07:00,254
you know,
part of actors' personas
178
00:07:00,295 --> 00:07:02,665
that had nothing to do
with anything when we came up.
179
00:07:02,714 --> 00:07:04,924
-Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
-Now we're a part of it, too,
180
00:07:04,966 --> 00:07:07,176
and we're asked to do the same
things and take advantage,
181
00:07:07,218 --> 00:07:09,258
but we're already established
at this point.
182
00:07:09,304 --> 00:07:10,934
So for people just coming up...
183
00:07:10,972 --> 00:07:13,392
Like, I had a kid asking me
today, like, "What do I do?
184
00:07:13,433 --> 00:07:15,893
How do I start?
I'm trying to get out there."
185
00:07:15,935 --> 00:07:18,015
I was like, "I have no idea."
186
00:07:18,063 --> 00:07:19,813
-Wow.
-Because we used to audition for people.
187
00:07:19,856 --> 00:07:21,566
-Yeah.
-We'd go in a room.
188
00:07:21,608 --> 00:07:23,738
-Yeah.
-And I'm pretty sure-- I wasn't in those rooms with you--
189
00:07:23,777 --> 00:07:25,817
but I'm pretty sure
you knew how to win the room.
190
00:07:25,862 --> 00:07:28,072
-Absolutely.
-So I would know how to win the room.
191
00:07:28,114 --> 00:07:30,034
That was a... that was a part
of the audition, actually.
192
00:07:30,075 --> 00:07:31,825
-That was the aud...
that was, for me, the audition. -Mm-hmm.
193
00:07:31,868 --> 00:07:33,698
And I'd win the room,
and then I'd be like,
194
00:07:33,745 --> 00:07:35,575
"Oh, yeah,
now let's do these words."
195
00:07:35,622 --> 00:07:36,962
And by the time
you did the words,
196
00:07:36,998 --> 00:07:38,748
they were already, like,
they're already into you.
197
00:07:38,792 --> 00:07:40,132
So they're trying to figure out
a reason to say yes,
198
00:07:40,168 --> 00:07:42,048
as opposed
to an excuse to say no.
199
00:07:42,087 --> 00:07:44,957
And now when they look at tape,
it's the exact opposite.
200
00:07:45,006 --> 00:07:47,126
-It's...
-They're trying to exclude people.
201
00:07:47,175 --> 00:07:49,135
-Yeah.
-So when people... when young actors say,
202
00:07:49,177 --> 00:07:51,137
"What do I do to start?"
I'm like, "Dude, I really...
203
00:07:51,179 --> 00:07:52,969
I have no idea,
I really couldn't tell you."
204
00:07:53,014 --> 00:07:54,724
You said you're
from the Midwest.
205
00:07:54,766 --> 00:07:56,636
-Where you from, Don?
-Uh, Kansas City, Missouri.
206
00:07:56,685 --> 00:07:58,805
Kansas City, Missouri.
Outskirts or inner city?
207
00:07:58,853 --> 00:08:00,653
-City.
-The city.
208
00:08:00,689 --> 00:08:02,979
-Uh, mom, dad, you said a dog.
-Yep.
209
00:08:03,024 --> 00:08:05,034
-No brothers? No sisters?
-Yep, brother and sister.
210
00:08:05,068 --> 00:08:07,488
-Really?
-I'm middle kid. Younger brother, older sister.
211
00:08:07,529 --> 00:08:09,739
Uh, are they cooler than you?
212
00:08:09,781 --> 00:08:11,871
I think most people
would say that.
213
00:08:11,908 --> 00:08:13,278
I would... I would believe it.
214
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:14,736
Yeah. I mean,
it's not hard to imagine, right?
215
00:08:14,786 --> 00:08:16,366
I'm not saying it
in a negative way,
216
00:08:16,413 --> 00:08:18,753
-but I could definitely see...
-No, no, no, no. I get it.
217
00:08:18,790 --> 00:08:20,710
-I get it. Yeah, I get it.
-I can definitely see them just being a... a cooler...
218
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:22,340
I mean, I'm wearing a vest.
219
00:08:22,377 --> 00:08:23,837
They got to be cooler
than me, right?
220
00:08:23,878 --> 00:08:25,008
-I wasn't gonna say it.
-Right?
221
00:08:25,046 --> 00:08:27,086
-Well, Don...
-Right, Kevin?
222
00:08:27,132 --> 00:08:29,012
-That's aggressive.
I know what you're doing. -What do you mean?
223
00:08:29,050 --> 00:08:30,220
It's aggressive.
I know what you're doing.
224
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:31,930
-Because I leaned forward?
-Yeah.
225
00:08:31,970 --> 00:08:34,430
-My back hurts.
-Yeah. You've done this before.
226
00:08:34,472 --> 00:08:36,272
-Okay. Well, you...
-I'm just gonna say let's calm down.
227
00:08:36,307 --> 00:08:38,017
As an old friend, I think you...
228
00:08:38,059 --> 00:08:40,019
-we're attuned
to each other's signals. -You're absolutely right.
229
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:41,941
-Yeah.
-By the way, nice vest.
230
00:08:41,980 --> 00:08:44,900
I appreciate that.
Ask me what suit it goes to.
231
00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:46,111
What suit does it go to?
232
00:08:46,151 --> 00:08:47,861
-No idea, Kevin.
-You have no idea.
233
00:08:47,902 --> 00:08:51,702
No idea. It was a costume
from a show I did.
234
00:08:51,740 --> 00:08:53,620
-Yeah, you just took it.
-I took it.
235
00:08:53,658 --> 00:08:55,448
-You took it.
-I took it.
236
00:08:55,493 --> 00:08:57,753
* *
237
00:09:07,714 --> 00:09:09,974
* *
238
00:09:12,427 --> 00:09:16,177
When did... when did Don Cheadle
decide that he wanted to act?
239
00:09:16,222 --> 00:09:18,102
I think,
according to my family,
240
00:09:18,141 --> 00:09:20,851
a lot earlier
than I remember saying it.
241
00:09:20,894 --> 00:09:22,774
Like they-they said I used...
would go around
242
00:09:22,812 --> 00:09:24,772
and say that's
what I was going to do.
243
00:09:24,814 --> 00:09:26,444
But, you know, I came up...
244
00:09:26,483 --> 00:09:28,493
-Music was as important to me
as acting was. -Yeah.
245
00:09:28,526 --> 00:09:31,606
-You used to dance, too.
-I actually did when I got to CalArts,
246
00:09:31,654 --> 00:09:33,534
because I went to an art school,
247
00:09:33,573 --> 00:09:36,663
and you had to take classes
in another métier.
248
00:09:36,701 --> 00:09:38,331
-Mm-hmm.
-So I was in the theater school,
249
00:09:38,370 --> 00:09:40,330
but in order to get
your accreditation
250
00:09:40,372 --> 00:09:42,292
to get your degree,
you had to take...
251
00:09:42,332 --> 00:09:44,832
on Wednesdays, which was
critical studies days,
252
00:09:44,876 --> 00:09:45,956
you had to take other classes.
253
00:09:46,002 --> 00:09:47,422
And so if you're
a theater actor,
254
00:09:47,462 --> 00:09:49,422
you had to take dance
or you had to take film
255
00:09:49,464 --> 00:09:50,844
or you had to take animation.
256
00:09:50,882 --> 00:09:52,552
You had to take something
of the other disciplines.
257
00:09:52,592 --> 00:09:54,642
But that was... I mean, out
of the gate that was the one?
258
00:09:54,678 --> 00:09:58,308
-It was always theater?
It was always... -No. No, no, no. It was...
259
00:09:58,348 --> 00:10:00,848
Like, so, all through when
I went to elementary school,
260
00:10:00,892 --> 00:10:03,652
junior high school, high school,
I played sax,
261
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:06,307
-I sang in the choir.
I was heavy into music. -Damn.
262
00:10:06,356 --> 00:10:10,276
And when I graduated
from, uh, from co...
263
00:10:10,318 --> 00:10:13,108
from high school,
I got into a couple schools
264
00:10:13,154 --> 00:10:15,414
to study jazz
and instrumental jazz
265
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:17,618
and vocal jazz, and got
some scholarships to do that,
266
00:10:17,659 --> 00:10:20,119
and then also got
some acting scholarships.
267
00:10:20,161 --> 00:10:21,871
And I think
I made a weather choice.
268
00:10:21,913 --> 00:10:23,423
That's not true.
269
00:10:23,456 --> 00:10:25,286
I made a weather choice,
and I also made a work choice.
270
00:10:25,333 --> 00:10:28,133
'Cause I knew how hard
I was going to have to grind
271
00:10:28,169 --> 00:10:30,209
-to be the kind of musician
I wanted to be. -Mm-hmm.
272
00:10:30,255 --> 00:10:32,295
'Cause I knew
the music I appreciated
273
00:10:32,340 --> 00:10:33,840
was at such a high level,
274
00:10:33,883 --> 00:10:35,843
and I played with such really
good players, I was, like...
275
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:37,925
Now, honestly, Don,
276
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:39,641
I had no idea
that you played the saxophone
277
00:10:39,681 --> 00:10:41,391
-and that you were
that heavy into music. -Yeah.
278
00:10:41,433 --> 00:10:43,483
Was... is that a...
is that a family thing?
279
00:10:43,518 --> 00:10:45,518
-Like, was that embedded to you
from the family? You just... No.
280
00:10:45,562 --> 00:10:47,152
-Well, from their tastes,
you know? -Okay.
281
00:10:47,188 --> 00:10:49,268
It's from, like,
digging in my parents' records
282
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,985
and finding Miles Davis records
and finding Cannonball Adderley
283
00:10:52,027 --> 00:10:54,147
and John Coltrane
and Charles Mingus
284
00:10:54,195 --> 00:10:56,445
and all these players that just,
for whatever reason,
285
00:10:56,489 --> 00:10:59,329
I gravitated toward jazz
and toward that music.
286
00:10:59,367 --> 00:11:01,867
And I just started playing sax,
and I had a really good ear.
287
00:11:01,911 --> 00:11:04,461
And that's kind of...
I just took off like that.
288
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:05,997
Now the vest makes sense.
289
00:11:06,041 --> 00:11:08,041
Right? Like at first
it didn't make sense.
290
00:11:08,084 --> 00:11:10,054
-It's just corny and weird.
-No, but now...
291
00:11:10,086 --> 00:11:12,506
-Yeah. I get it.
-And now you're, like, "Yeah, 'cause you're a jazz nerd."
292
00:11:12,547 --> 00:11:15,377
-Yeah. Well,
I'm not gonna say a jazz n... -Seems like that was implied.
293
00:11:15,425 --> 00:11:18,085
I don't, I don't use
the word "nerd," first of all...
294
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:21,136
-Right. You say "spikot."
-Okay. What are we doing here?
295
00:11:21,181 --> 00:11:22,471
-I don't know.
-I'm not here to...
296
00:11:22,515 --> 00:11:24,345
I'm trying
to follow your lead, Kevin.
297
00:11:24,392 --> 00:11:25,942
-I'm not here
to attack you, Don. -Feels... Okay.
298
00:11:25,977 --> 00:11:27,397
-I'm not attacking you, Don.
-It's fine.
299
00:11:27,437 --> 00:11:29,687
You're my friend. You just
told me you played jazz.
300
00:11:29,731 --> 00:11:31,191
I'm blown away.
301
00:11:31,232 --> 00:11:32,942
There was a moment
when you said it, I sat back.
302
00:11:32,984 --> 00:11:34,944
-Right. Yeah. Right.
-That's what I did.
303
00:11:34,986 --> 00:11:36,606
Back to the questions, Don.
304
00:11:36,654 --> 00:11:40,494
-Uh, when you say
you went to school, right? -Mm-hmm.
305
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:42,543
You then made the choice,
306
00:11:42,577 --> 00:11:44,367
you made the choice,
you made the switch.
307
00:11:44,412 --> 00:11:47,542
Well, how does Don Cheadle
somehow make the transition
308
00:11:47,582 --> 00:11:49,712
to his first big opportunity?
309
00:11:49,751 --> 00:11:51,381
What-what was the...
what was the breaking point?
310
00:11:51,419 --> 00:11:53,339
-Hmm.
-What was the... what was that thing
311
00:11:53,380 --> 00:11:55,050
that acted as a segue to,
"Oh, my God..."?
312
00:11:55,090 --> 00:11:57,430
-I could do this.
-"I'm gonna do it,
313
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,927
and I got a chance
to really be successful at it."
314
00:11:59,969 --> 00:12:03,309
My third year-- funny--
my third year in college,
315
00:12:03,348 --> 00:12:08,188
my friend, uh, on an open call
got cast on the show "Fame."
316
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,228
Unlike... Out of 3,000 people,
he and Nia Peeples were cast.
317
00:12:11,272 --> 00:12:13,862
Jesse Borrego,
who played Jesse Velasquez,
318
00:12:13,900 --> 00:12:15,110
-I think, on the show.
-Okay.
319
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:16,901
So that was my third year
in school.
320
00:12:16,945 --> 00:12:19,525
And then we took him
to go meet an agent,
321
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:22,032
because he had to get an agent
to do his contract and all that.
322
00:12:22,075 --> 00:12:24,115
And that agent
met me and my friend,
323
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,580
and went,
"Oh, I want to rep you guys."
324
00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:27,500
We were still in college,
and she kind of took me
325
00:12:27,539 --> 00:12:29,919
as a pocket...
a, uh, pocket client.
326
00:12:29,958 --> 00:12:33,088
-Wow.
-Name's Kay Liberman. And she would send me out,
327
00:12:33,128 --> 00:12:37,218
-and, you know, I heard 500 noes
before I heard a yes. -Yeah, of course. Of course.
328
00:12:37,257 --> 00:12:40,507
And then I got, uh, cast,
like, I got Taft-Hartley'd,
329
00:12:40,552 --> 00:12:42,642
which you can explain
to the people,
330
00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,509
'cause you're smart--
I could, but it's your show.
331
00:12:44,556 --> 00:12:46,426
-I don't want to take over.
-Do you want me to explain it?
332
00:12:46,474 --> 00:12:48,444
-I mean, you could,
If you want to. -Here's the thing,
333
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:49,556
I could definitely do it,
334
00:12:49,602 --> 00:12:51,062
but, Don,
here's the problem with that:
335
00:12:51,104 --> 00:12:53,024
I'm not highlighting my guests.
336
00:12:53,064 --> 00:12:55,444
-If you do it. Right.
-Yes. I have a guest here.
337
00:12:55,483 --> 00:12:58,863
I'm not gonna take
the opportunity to-to explain...
338
00:12:58,903 --> 00:13:02,323
-Yeah. Why would you?
-what would sound so amazing coming from you.
339
00:13:02,365 --> 00:13:04,615
Exactly, and-and that's
why you're Kevin Hart.
340
00:13:04,659 --> 00:13:06,999
You give them a breakdown
as to what that is, Don.
341
00:13:07,037 --> 00:13:08,997
Okay. When you're Taft-Hartley'd
in the business,
342
00:13:09,039 --> 00:13:10,829
it means that a producer...
343
00:13:10,874 --> 00:13:12,174
A producer is willing--
go ahead, finish.
344
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:13,458
-Oh, you want...?
-No. Go ahead, finish.
345
00:13:13,501 --> 00:13:15,381
Okay. A producer
is willing to pay a fee
346
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,460
-to the Screen Actors Guild
to say that -Say...
347
00:13:17,505 --> 00:13:19,545
-this person is so...
-So exceptional, yeah.
348
00:13:19,591 --> 00:13:21,431
that they have to be
in this role.
349
00:13:21,468 --> 00:13:23,258
-We can't find anybody else.
-We can't find nobody.
350
00:13:23,303 --> 00:13:25,183
We need Don Cheadle.
We got to have Kevin Hart.
351
00:13:25,221 --> 00:13:26,811
We need Don Cheadle.
So we're going to pay a fee.
352
00:13:26,848 --> 00:13:28,848
-Yeah.
-So, um, I was Taft-Hartley'd
353
00:13:28,892 --> 00:13:31,022
-in, uh...
-Yeah. By the way, it...
354
00:13:31,061 --> 00:13:33,151
You said it. 'Cause I would've
I would've said it differently.
355
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:35,068
-Did I not say it...?
-Well, I just would've said it differently.
356
00:13:35,106 --> 00:13:36,726
You would've stitched it
together a little differently.
357
00:13:36,775 --> 00:13:38,525
I would've summarized it and
tightened it up a little bit!
358
00:13:38,568 --> 00:13:40,198
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You would've tightened it up.
359
00:13:40,236 --> 00:13:41,816
-Maybe with editing,
y'all can... -No need.
360
00:13:41,863 --> 00:13:44,123
It came from you.
It came from you.
361
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:45,487
All right.
I feel bad now a little bit.
362
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:47,043
That's good.
That's a good breakdown of it.
363
00:13:47,077 --> 00:13:49,157
Okay, I'm-a shake that off
and just...
364
00:13:49,204 --> 00:13:51,664
-(laughing)
-just go on to the next thing.
365
00:13:51,706 --> 00:13:54,126
So... I was...
366
00:13:54,167 --> 00:13:56,957
I was Taft-Hartley'd for
the film "Moving Violations,"
367
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:58,513
-Mm-hmm.
-which was masterful.
368
00:13:58,546 --> 00:14:00,296
-Mm-hmm.
-Don't... do not go watch that.
369
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:02,220
You sure? You don't want...
370
00:14:02,258 --> 00:14:04,638
-do you want the people
to go see it? -Do not... don't watch that.
371
00:14:04,678 --> 00:14:06,968
-Okay.
-So I got Taft-Hartley'd in that,
372
00:14:07,013 --> 00:14:09,023
and that was my junior year
in school.
373
00:14:09,057 --> 00:14:11,177
And I... so I got that gig.
374
00:14:11,226 --> 00:14:13,136
How old are you?
How old are you now?
375
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,016
-19.
-Okay.
376
00:14:15,063 --> 00:14:16,523
-20, maybe.
-Okay.
377
00:14:16,564 --> 00:14:18,274
How old are you in college?
I went to college...
378
00:14:18,316 --> 00:14:20,356
I started 18,
that was 17, 18, 19, I was 20.
379
00:14:20,402 --> 00:14:22,032
Is that a shot at me
because I didn't go to school?
380
00:14:22,070 --> 00:14:25,280
-I wasn't trying to attack...
-You know I didn't go to school.
381
00:14:25,323 --> 00:14:26,703
-Kevin.
-You know I didn't go to school.
382
00:14:26,741 --> 00:14:28,871
Why would I...
why would I, on your show,
383
00:14:28,910 --> 00:14:30,500
bring up
something embarrassing...
384
00:14:30,537 --> 00:14:32,207
You know that
I didn't go to school.
385
00:14:32,247 --> 00:14:34,117
...and that also explains
so much
386
00:14:34,165 --> 00:14:36,575
-about why you would say a word
like "spigot" as "spikot." -Wow.
387
00:14:36,626 --> 00:14:38,626
-Wow, that's... I'm sorry
-Why would I do that to you?
388
00:14:38,670 --> 00:14:41,050
that I have a community college
education, Don.
389
00:14:41,089 --> 00:14:42,629
No, I wasn't trying to...
I wasn't trying...
390
00:14:42,674 --> 00:14:44,184
Are we here to attack?
391
00:14:44,217 --> 00:14:46,177
I was not trying to throw you
under the dumb bus.
392
00:14:46,219 --> 00:14:48,599
-Oh, wow.
-I wouldn't do that.
393
00:14:48,638 --> 00:14:51,888
-And there it is!
-What? You suggested it.
394
00:14:51,933 --> 00:14:53,063
And there it is.
395
00:14:53,101 --> 00:14:54,981
-Kevin.
-There it is!
396
00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:57,400
Do you want me
to finish the story?
397
00:14:57,439 --> 00:14:59,689
-Yeah. Go ahead, finish.
-Are you... are we cool?
398
00:14:59,733 --> 00:15:03,613
-Can I comprehend it?
-(sighs): Man, I wasn't... Yeah, man.
399
00:15:03,653 --> 00:15:06,323
-All right. Go ahead.
-And good use of the word "comprehend."
400
00:15:06,364 --> 00:15:08,954
-You used it...
-I got lucky.
401
00:15:08,992 --> 00:15:10,242
-(both chuckling)
-You went for it,
402
00:15:10,285 --> 00:15:12,075
and you got it
right in the bull's-eye.
403
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,330
-I got very lucky.
I got very lucky, Don. -Good job, bro.
404
00:15:14,372 --> 00:15:16,082
-Thank you, man.
-Good job.
405
00:15:16,124 --> 00:15:19,004
Um, so I was cast in that movie,
406
00:15:19,044 --> 00:15:20,924
and then the next year
I graduated
407
00:15:20,962 --> 00:15:25,472
and started going out and, uh...
408
00:15:25,508 --> 00:15:28,218
I didn't stay in town,
because my friend Jesse
409
00:15:28,261 --> 00:15:30,101
was traveling around
doing theater
410
00:15:30,138 --> 00:15:31,428
all around the country.
411
00:15:31,473 --> 00:15:33,483
So I went to New York
and I did a play,
412
00:15:33,516 --> 00:15:35,096
and I went to Chicago
and I did a play,
413
00:15:35,143 --> 00:15:37,103
and I worked in Minneapolis
at the Guthrie,
414
00:15:37,145 --> 00:15:38,475
and my agent was like,
415
00:15:38,521 --> 00:15:40,271
"You know that pilot season
happens here."
416
00:15:40,315 --> 00:15:42,105
"You know
they don't shoot TV shows.
417
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:43,610
-You've got to be here."
-You got to be in Los Angeles. Mm-hmm.
418
00:15:43,651 --> 00:15:45,201
I was like,
"Well, I could be here,
419
00:15:45,236 --> 00:15:46,946
"or I could go do this dope play
in Minneapolis
420
00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:48,818
and really, like,
just work, you know?"
421
00:15:48,865 --> 00:15:50,945
'Cause I could be here
and maybe get something,
422
00:15:50,992 --> 00:15:52,452
or I can definitely
go do that job.
423
00:15:52,494 --> 00:15:53,914
So after about
three or four years,
424
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:55,333
I was like, "Okay,
I'll sit here and try to...
425
00:15:55,372 --> 00:15:57,122
try to actually get something."
426
00:15:57,165 --> 00:15:58,955
And I never got a show,
but it was at that time,
427
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,590
-as you know, that you could get
good guest spots. -Mm-hmm.
428
00:16:01,628 --> 00:16:03,758
So I did all those shows:
"Hill Street Blues"
429
00:16:03,797 --> 00:16:06,797
-Mm-hmm.
-And "L.A. Law," and, you know, "Hooperman."
430
00:16:06,841 --> 00:16:09,091
-Just all of these shows.
-You started to make your rounds.
431
00:16:09,135 --> 00:16:10,885
You got familiar
with the casting agents.
432
00:16:10,929 --> 00:16:13,429
-Exactly.
-You got familiar with studios, studio heads, et cetera.
433
00:16:13,473 --> 00:16:16,023
All that. And they loved us,
because I had...
434
00:16:16,059 --> 00:16:19,189
I graduated from school with
about three or four brothers
435
00:16:19,229 --> 00:16:20,979
that were, like, my same type.
436
00:16:21,022 --> 00:16:23,942
And we would just bum-rush
all the auditions together.
437
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,403
-You were...
-So if I had an audition, We'd all go together.
438
00:16:26,444 --> 00:16:28,824
Without even having an audition,
you guys would just show up.
439
00:16:28,863 --> 00:16:31,203
We'd sometimes
just show up and hang out,
440
00:16:31,241 --> 00:16:33,161
and they were just like,
"You guys are cool."
441
00:16:33,201 --> 00:16:34,871
And then
when we'd have an audition,
442
00:16:34,911 --> 00:16:37,621
any of us that had an audition,
the other people would come.
443
00:16:37,664 --> 00:16:39,874
-Wow.
-And they'd be like, "You know if he gets it,
444
00:16:39,916 --> 00:16:42,336
you can't get it."
And we just had a philosophy,
445
00:16:42,377 --> 00:16:44,497
like, "Well, he can't...
Bruce can't get my part.
446
00:16:44,546 --> 00:16:46,716
Glenn, I can't get
Glenn's part."
447
00:16:46,756 --> 00:16:48,676
But we all are sharing
the money.
448
00:16:48,717 --> 00:16:51,797
-So one of us has to get it.
-Wow.
449
00:16:51,845 --> 00:16:54,055
* *
450
00:17:03,982 --> 00:17:06,232
* *
451
00:17:08,737 --> 00:17:11,907
When Don Cheadle gets that
first big break, now, right?
452
00:17:11,948 --> 00:17:13,738
You've been through the grind.
And by the way, when you...
453
00:17:13,783 --> 00:17:15,743
when you talked
about theater just now,
454
00:17:15,785 --> 00:17:18,955
it's crazy to hear you talk
about it the way that you did,
455
00:17:18,997 --> 00:17:21,077
-Mm-hmm.
-because it's almost along the same lines as stand-up comedy.
456
00:17:21,124 --> 00:17:24,634
Right? With the hustle
of comedy clubs and, you know,
457
00:17:24,669 --> 00:17:29,839
wanting what acts as the real
work versus the hypothetical.
458
00:17:29,883 --> 00:17:32,513
To where you're like, "No, I
need to sacrifice for a minute.
459
00:17:32,552 --> 00:17:35,262
"Shut it down. Let me
go knock out these auditions.
460
00:17:35,305 --> 00:17:37,925
-Right.
-"Let me take the gamble of actually trying to stay true
461
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:40,444
to the grind and seeing
if I can book something."
462
00:17:40,477 --> 00:17:41,847
I mean, honestly,
I think it j...
463
00:17:41,895 --> 00:17:45,105
I-I've been so fortunate
and lucky and blessed
464
00:17:45,148 --> 00:17:47,568
and every word you want to use
in that sort of family,
465
00:17:47,609 --> 00:17:51,069
because it literally
just started to... I start...
466
00:17:51,112 --> 00:17:52,782
I just started to get stuff,
467
00:17:52,822 --> 00:17:54,822
and one thing would lead
to the next,
468
00:17:54,866 --> 00:17:56,786
and one thing would lead
to the next. I wasn't...
469
00:17:56,826 --> 00:18:00,616
-And I would still leave
every summer and go do theater. -Mm-hmm.
470
00:18:00,663 --> 00:18:02,673
I'd go do a play
at Mixed Blood in Minneapolis,
471
00:18:02,707 --> 00:18:04,327
and then I'd come back
and I'd, you know,
472
00:18:04,376 --> 00:18:06,456
do a small part in a movie,
and then I'd go...
473
00:18:06,503 --> 00:18:08,463
So I was... I was constantly
going back and forth
474
00:18:08,505 --> 00:18:10,375
and doing that,
and collecting unemployment,
475
00:18:10,423 --> 00:18:12,633
which was how it worked,
you know?
476
00:18:12,676 --> 00:18:14,136
You do a gig,
you collect your check,
477
00:18:14,177 --> 00:18:15,797
then that would run out...
478
00:18:15,845 --> 00:18:17,505
And California acted
as your residence?
479
00:18:17,555 --> 00:18:18,555
-Yeah.
-Through the whole time?
480
00:18:18,598 --> 00:18:20,058
-Yeah.
-That's smart.
481
00:18:20,100 --> 00:18:21,140
-Yeah. That was what...
-That's very smart.
482
00:18:21,184 --> 00:18:22,444
that's what we did.
483
00:18:22,477 --> 00:18:23,807
I went
to professional waiter school,
484
00:18:23,853 --> 00:18:26,193
which was on Gower,
Hollywood and Gower.
485
00:18:26,231 --> 00:18:28,611
Um, and the day I graduated--
486
00:18:28,650 --> 00:18:31,490
and I graduated with honors,
by the way.
487
00:18:31,528 --> 00:18:33,028
I would have been
an amazing waiter.
488
00:18:33,071 --> 00:18:36,871
What-what was your GPA
in waiter school? I mean...
489
00:18:36,908 --> 00:18:39,078
-I don't know. It was high.
-It was high.
490
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,449
-It was...
it was one of the best. -It was high.
491
00:18:41,496 --> 00:18:45,246
-What made Don Cheadle
a good waiter? -I'd love to show you,
492
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:47,091
but I don't want
to embarrass your sommelier.
493
00:18:47,127 --> 00:18:49,167
Why are you attacking that man?
494
00:18:49,212 --> 00:18:51,422
You are super sensitive
right now
495
00:18:51,464 --> 00:18:53,174
about, like, what are attacks.
496
00:18:53,216 --> 00:18:54,426
I didn't attack him.
497
00:18:54,467 --> 00:18:55,927
I said I don't want
to embarrass him.
498
00:18:55,969 --> 00:18:58,099
Maybe you don't know
what the word "don't" means.
499
00:18:58,138 --> 00:19:00,308
Oh, back to
my community college education.
500
00:19:00,348 --> 00:19:02,558
-It's a callback.
-I mean, when does it stop?
501
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,690
-It's a callback.
-This is why you say no.
502
00:19:05,729 --> 00:19:10,069
This is the reverse
of what type A drugs can do.
503
00:19:10,108 --> 00:19:11,358
-Whoa.
-Okay?
504
00:19:11,401 --> 00:19:13,031
-Class A.
-Goddamn it, I messed it up.
505
00:19:13,069 --> 00:19:16,029
See? You keep leaning
into the dumb thing.
506
00:19:16,072 --> 00:19:17,122
I'm so stupid.
507
00:19:17,157 --> 00:19:19,527
(laughing)
508
00:19:21,369 --> 00:19:23,199
-Um...
-I'm so dumb.
509
00:19:23,246 --> 00:19:25,286
-Yeah, man.
-Uh, no. Was it charm?
510
00:19:25,331 --> 00:19:26,791
Was it personality?
Like, what...
511
00:19:26,833 --> 00:19:29,673
Is that... that pretty much
is what makes the...
512
00:19:29,711 --> 00:19:31,381
-the good waiter?
-I think it was reps.
513
00:19:31,421 --> 00:19:33,051
Oh, of... of the waiter.
514
00:19:33,089 --> 00:19:34,799
-Yeah.
-Oh, we were going back to the waiter thing.
515
00:19:34,841 --> 00:19:36,131
Yes. I wanted to know
what made you a good waiter.
516
00:19:36,176 --> 00:19:37,386
It was paying attention.
517
00:19:37,427 --> 00:19:38,967
It was that I had good recall.
518
00:19:39,012 --> 00:19:40,602
'Cause, you know,
you're not supposed to repeat
519
00:19:40,638 --> 00:19:41,848
people's order
when they give you the order.
520
00:19:41,890 --> 00:19:44,480
You're just supposed
to lock that in.
521
00:19:44,517 --> 00:19:46,557
Try it. Tell me what you want.
522
00:19:46,603 --> 00:19:48,563
-Okay.
-Mr. Hart.
523
00:19:48,605 --> 00:19:50,225
-This is the menu?
-Mm-hmm.
524
00:19:50,273 --> 00:19:52,573
Yeah. This place
a piece of shit.
525
00:19:52,609 --> 00:19:54,689
I don't even know
why we're eating here, honey.
526
00:19:54,736 --> 00:19:56,856
-I would not work...
-Excuse me. Excuse me.
527
00:19:56,905 --> 00:19:58,905
All right.
The customer is always right.
528
00:19:58,948 --> 00:20:00,328
-I don't know what I'm doing.
-Which is...
529
00:20:00,367 --> 00:20:01,697
I've almost blown it
right away.
530
00:20:01,743 --> 00:20:03,583
You want to call this place
a piece of shit?
531
00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:04,910
You sure you want to eat here?
532
00:20:04,954 --> 00:20:06,084
All right.
533
00:20:06,122 --> 00:20:09,422
Uh, I'm gonna take two PBJs.
534
00:20:09,459 --> 00:20:11,709
(laughing):
This place is a piece of shit.
535
00:20:11,753 --> 00:20:14,093
Cut... cut the corners off
on my bread.
536
00:20:14,130 --> 00:20:16,470
I don't like the corners
on my bread, so cut that off.
537
00:20:16,508 --> 00:20:18,588
-Yes, sir.
-Uh, also...
538
00:20:18,635 --> 00:20:21,465
Oh, this is good.
This is really good.
539
00:20:21,513 --> 00:20:25,183
I'm gonna take two
of your Wheat Thins.
540
00:20:25,225 --> 00:20:27,435
-Yeah.
-Would you like them inside the PBJ, sir?
541
00:20:27,477 --> 00:20:29,597
-Uh, no.
-It gives it an extra zest.
542
00:20:29,646 --> 00:20:31,516
No. I don't want that, okay?
543
00:20:31,564 --> 00:20:33,194
-I don't know why you guys
would even do that. -Sometimes we do it.
544
00:20:33,233 --> 00:20:35,533
People come in,
they want things like that.
545
00:20:35,568 --> 00:20:37,948
But I will take raisins
and put them on my PBJ.
546
00:20:37,987 --> 00:20:40,777
-On top of the bread or inside?
-Inside. Lightly toasted.
547
00:20:40,824 --> 00:20:43,084
The raisins you want toasted?
548
00:20:43,118 --> 00:20:44,658
Yes. What did I order?
549
00:20:44,703 --> 00:20:47,373
You ordered a PBJ
with the crusts off of it,
550
00:20:47,414 --> 00:20:48,754
two orders of Wheat Thins,
551
00:20:48,790 --> 00:20:51,920
and, uh, raisins roasted lightly
552
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,340
inside of your PBJ.
553
00:20:54,379 --> 00:20:56,759
Fuckin' show-off.
554
00:20:56,798 --> 00:20:59,468
Ask me what side of the table
I'd serve you from.
555
00:20:59,509 --> 00:21:00,759
-What side of the table?
-The left.
556
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,812
The left side? (laughs)
557
00:21:03,847 --> 00:21:06,597
Why? Why the left, Don? What...?
558
00:21:06,641 --> 00:21:08,851
'Cause that's the fucking side.
559
00:21:08,893 --> 00:21:10,523
(laughing)
560
00:21:10,562 --> 00:21:12,652
-That's why, Kevin.
-Okay.
561
00:21:12,689 --> 00:21:14,019
-'Cause that's the side.
-That's the side. Okay.
562
00:21:14,065 --> 00:21:16,065
All right. That's...
I learned something new.
563
00:21:16,109 --> 00:21:18,489
And now you see why I went
to the top of the class
564
00:21:18,528 --> 00:21:20,158
and I was like...
"Sir. Sir.
565
00:21:20,196 --> 00:21:21,866
-Yeah. Yeah.
-Thank you." And they gave me...
566
00:21:21,906 --> 00:21:23,696
they call you in the back
after you graduate,
567
00:21:23,742 --> 00:21:25,662
the dude calls you in the back--
it's very "Godfather"-esque.
568
00:21:25,702 --> 00:21:28,792
He's behind a desk,
and he sits there--
569
00:21:28,830 --> 00:21:31,120
this is dead-ass serious--
570
00:21:31,166 --> 00:21:34,086
and you walk in,
and he's like, "Good job."
571
00:21:34,127 --> 00:21:35,707
(laughing)
572
00:21:35,754 --> 00:21:38,924
"Thank you."
"No, you were really exemplary.
573
00:21:38,965 --> 00:21:41,085
"Really good.
You remembered things.
574
00:21:41,134 --> 00:21:43,514
You... came from the left."
575
00:21:43,553 --> 00:21:45,933
"You did it all."
"Thank you."
576
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:47,852
And he'd go...
577
00:21:47,891 --> 00:21:50,691
He'd open a little drawer
and he'd reach in,
578
00:21:50,727 --> 00:21:53,397
and he'd pull out
some three-by-five cards.
579
00:21:53,438 --> 00:21:54,978
He'd go...
580
00:21:55,023 --> 00:21:57,693
"Spago. You're gonna want
to talk to Nick.
581
00:21:57,734 --> 00:22:00,534
"Don't call him Nick.
He goes by Nicholas.
582
00:22:00,570 --> 00:22:03,200
"You're gonna want to talk
to Nicholas.
583
00:22:03,239 --> 00:22:05,949
"He's got something for you.
584
00:22:05,992 --> 00:22:07,202
"Ivy by the Sea.
585
00:22:07,243 --> 00:22:09,083
Take that one. Jim."
586
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:11,080
You'd be like, "Oh."
You had two tips.
587
00:22:11,122 --> 00:22:13,632
You'd, uh, you'd kiss the ring,
which was like a...
588
00:22:13,667 --> 00:22:17,547
-a small hamburger,
and then on your way. -You'd leave.
589
00:22:17,587 --> 00:22:18,877
But it was a big deal
to get those...
590
00:22:18,922 --> 00:22:20,472
-Are you kidding me?
-A huge deal. Yeah.
591
00:22:20,507 --> 00:22:22,177
-Dude.
-In L.A., these are big spots.
592
00:22:22,217 --> 00:22:24,217
-Great tips coming
from these spots. I get it. -Come on.
593
00:22:24,260 --> 00:22:26,050
-I get it.
-You'd walk out, and they'd be like,
594
00:22:26,096 --> 00:22:27,886
"What did he tell you?"
You'd be like, "Eh."
595
00:22:27,931 --> 00:22:29,851
I love it, because this is
what people just don't know.
596
00:22:29,891 --> 00:22:31,891
-Who would know that?
-This is what people don't know.
597
00:22:31,935 --> 00:22:34,015
This is why I don't do a lot.
598
00:22:34,062 --> 00:22:36,612
Because these stories
would come out.
599
00:22:36,648 --> 00:22:38,068
Now I got to walk around
600
00:22:38,108 --> 00:22:39,898
knowing that people
might know that about me.
601
00:22:39,943 --> 00:22:41,743
So you don't want people
to ever know.
602
00:22:41,778 --> 00:22:43,608
"What's up, Waiter?"
Like, come on, man.
603
00:22:43,655 --> 00:22:45,735
Have you ever...
have you ever felt the need
604
00:22:45,782 --> 00:22:47,532
to bring it up,
like, in conversation?
605
00:22:47,575 --> 00:22:50,245
-At dinner sometimes,
when the waiter's shitty. -At dinner?
606
00:22:50,286 --> 00:22:52,036
You'd be like,
"What are you doing, man?"
607
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,500
Yeah, no, you're not...
you're not even...
608
00:22:54,541 --> 00:22:57,631
"Excuse me, sir?"
I order, I'm like, "Watch.
609
00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:59,879
Chicken mar..."
610
00:22:59,921 --> 00:23:02,921
You got the, like,
I'm-a get him, I'm-a catch him.
611
00:23:02,966 --> 00:23:03,716
Watch this.
612
00:23:03,758 --> 00:23:05,838
"Chicken Marsala."
613
00:23:05,885 --> 00:23:08,345
-"Chicken Marsala."
"See? You see? He repeated it." -Why would he repeat that?
614
00:23:08,388 --> 00:23:10,718
-Why would he repeat...
-Why would you do that? Come on, man. Dude, come on.
615
00:23:10,765 --> 00:23:13,305
-You didn't go
to professional waiter school. -You didn't go to school.
616
00:23:13,351 --> 00:23:14,981
-Did you go to school?
-You're just some bum off the street,
617
00:23:15,020 --> 00:23:16,690
just gonna walk in here
and throw on an apron
618
00:23:16,730 --> 00:23:18,440
and think you could...
619
00:23:18,481 --> 00:23:20,231
You're not this.
You're not this.
620
00:23:20,275 --> 00:23:22,105
You'll never make it to Spago.
621
00:23:22,152 --> 00:23:27,282
-That's why we're at Denny's
right now, bro. -Oh, God. Oh, God.
622
00:23:27,323 --> 00:23:29,533
* *
623
00:23:38,376 --> 00:23:40,626
* *
624
00:23:42,881 --> 00:23:46,431
I want to talk to you
about the amazing people
625
00:23:46,468 --> 00:23:48,678
that you've had the opportunity
to work with, man.
626
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,810
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
-Such a crazy... a crazy list
627
00:23:51,848 --> 00:23:53,598
-Yeah.
-of amazing actors and actresses.
628
00:23:53,641 --> 00:23:55,691
Uh, who has blown
Don Cheadle away?
629
00:23:55,727 --> 00:23:58,607
So many. So many of them.
630
00:23:58,646 --> 00:24:00,646
Uh...
631
00:24:00,690 --> 00:24:04,190
-Phil Hoffman.
-Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
632
00:24:04,235 --> 00:24:06,695
-CHEADLE: Amazing, obviously.
-Mm-hmm.
633
00:24:06,738 --> 00:24:09,528
-CHEADLE: I mean,
Denzel, of course. -Mm-hmm.
634
00:24:09,574 --> 00:24:11,624
Uh, Benicio del Toro.
635
00:24:11,659 --> 00:24:14,869
Was there something crazy
about these actors
636
00:24:14,913 --> 00:24:16,713
that just really had you like,
637
00:24:16,748 --> 00:24:18,918
"Oh, my God,"
or was it just the talent?
638
00:24:18,958 --> 00:24:20,918
Well, they're all
very different,
639
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,460
and they're all very,
uh... unique.
640
00:24:24,506 --> 00:24:28,336
-Um, and all very serious
about their work -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
641
00:24:28,385 --> 00:24:31,095
and what they want to achieve,
and are all, you know,
642
00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:35,637
-writers and-and directors.
-Mm-hmm.
643
00:24:35,684 --> 00:24:38,734
And I think that
as I've, you know,
644
00:24:38,770 --> 00:24:40,980
gone further and further along
in the business,
645
00:24:41,022 --> 00:24:43,902
I think those are the
best actors that you bump into.
646
00:24:43,942 --> 00:24:46,242
-Mm-hmm.
-People that are multi-hyphenate.
647
00:24:46,277 --> 00:24:48,067
Even if they're not doing it
out there in the place
648
00:24:48,113 --> 00:24:50,283
that they're getting credit
for it, but they're very...
649
00:24:50,323 --> 00:24:51,913
they understand story.
650
00:24:51,950 --> 00:24:56,160
They're very, you know,
clear about setting up scenes
651
00:24:56,204 --> 00:25:00,754
and narrative and-and editing
and all aspects of storytelling
652
00:25:00,792 --> 00:25:04,422
that are, you know, the whole...
this whole milieu.
653
00:25:04,462 --> 00:25:07,382
And you can understand that
they know what they're doing.
654
00:25:07,424 --> 00:25:09,764
And they're also
not just about themselves.
655
00:25:09,801 --> 00:25:11,511
-Mm. Mm-hmm.
-That's another thing.
656
00:25:11,553 --> 00:25:13,933
You know, they're thinking
about what would make
657
00:25:13,972 --> 00:25:15,182
the entire project better,
658
00:25:15,223 --> 00:25:17,273
what makes
the entire story better.
659
00:25:17,308 --> 00:25:19,518
Not just, like,
"How can I shine?"
660
00:25:19,561 --> 00:25:22,771
-Mm-hmm.
-So those are always the best experiences I have with actors,
661
00:25:22,814 --> 00:25:26,114
in film, TV, plays, whatever.
662
00:25:26,151 --> 00:25:28,531
We're all just trying to get to
the best answer for the thing.
663
00:25:28,570 --> 00:25:29,950
Not just trying to figure out
664
00:25:29,988 --> 00:25:32,158
how to make it the best for me,
you know?
665
00:25:32,198 --> 00:25:33,908
Is that...
Who-who inspires you?
666
00:25:33,950 --> 00:25:35,830
Because, you know,
you just got finished talking
667
00:25:35,869 --> 00:25:37,909
about writing, producing,
directing, acting.
668
00:25:37,954 --> 00:25:39,754
You know, you're now checking
those boxes.
669
00:25:39,789 --> 00:25:42,709
-Mm-hmm.
-You're now directing, you know?
670
00:25:42,751 --> 00:25:44,881
Uh, you're now...
always have been,
671
00:25:44,919 --> 00:25:46,799
a part of the creative
and writing,
672
00:25:46,838 --> 00:25:49,418
-Right.
-but I know that producing hat is on as well.
673
00:25:49,466 --> 00:25:52,966
-Yeah.
-Who-who inspired you to start to put on all of those hats?
674
00:25:53,011 --> 00:25:55,891
Well, dude, it was the...
it was still the hustle game.
675
00:25:55,930 --> 00:25:59,640
I always wanted to be
eminently hirable.
676
00:25:59,684 --> 00:26:04,614
-Wow.
-So I wanted to know how to do anything that we...
677
00:26:04,647 --> 00:26:07,647
how to participate
in any part of this business.
678
00:26:07,692 --> 00:26:10,152
You know, for me,
like, downtime during...
679
00:26:10,195 --> 00:26:11,945
I worked with Warren Beatty.
680
00:26:11,988 --> 00:26:14,738
We did "Bulworth."
And Vittorio Storaro,
681
00:26:14,783 --> 00:26:18,293
-who is his DP, who's one
of the most amazing DPs, is... -Huge.
682
00:26:18,328 --> 00:26:19,788
-Huge.
-Mm-hmm.
683
00:26:19,829 --> 00:26:22,039
And so when they'd say "cut,"
684
00:26:22,082 --> 00:26:23,832
I'd go sit next to Vittorio,
'cause I wanted to see
685
00:26:23,875 --> 00:26:25,415
how he was lighting.
686
00:26:25,460 --> 00:26:27,460
I wanted to understand
his philosophy about lighting
687
00:26:27,504 --> 00:26:30,344
-and what it meant to be a DP.
-In school.
688
00:26:30,382 --> 00:26:32,552
-Always in school.
Always in school. -You're in school.
689
00:26:32,592 --> 00:26:34,842
I'm a firm believer that
you're in school all the time.
690
00:26:34,886 --> 00:26:37,886
-Yeah, if...
you should be paying attention. -You're in school all the time.
691
00:26:37,931 --> 00:26:40,561
-There's no reason for you
not to be paying attention -Yeah. Yeah.
692
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,270
-when you can do it
for free, right? -Exactly.
693
00:26:43,311 --> 00:26:46,731
If I got the opportunity to be
attached to a huge director,
694
00:26:46,773 --> 00:26:51,653
a huge DP, well, I don't need
to ask a thousand questions,
695
00:26:51,695 --> 00:26:55,565
-I can just really be a fly
on the wall and truly watch. -Yep.
696
00:26:55,615 --> 00:26:58,365
-Yep.
-I can watch, and I'm supposed to pick up something
697
00:26:58,410 --> 00:27:01,540
-from that project, something
from those individuals. -Mm-hmm.
698
00:27:01,579 --> 00:27:03,459
-Mm-hmm.
-When I leave, I should have a piece of something
699
00:27:03,498 --> 00:27:07,168
-Yeah.
-that I carry with me to the next thing.
700
00:27:07,210 --> 00:27:09,670
-For sure.
-Knowledge, cadence, whatever it may be.
701
00:27:09,713 --> 00:27:12,723
-I should have left
that brief moment of school-- -Mm-hmm.
702
00:27:12,757 --> 00:27:15,927
or long moment of school--
with a good piece of education
703
00:27:15,969 --> 00:27:18,809
-that I can then share
and do something with. -No doubt. No doubt.
704
00:27:18,847 --> 00:27:20,637
And that's what it sounds like
you were doing as well.
705
00:27:20,682 --> 00:27:23,982
And we're in a unique position,
because, as performers,
706
00:27:24,019 --> 00:27:26,229
we're at the cen... we're
at the hub of all of that.
707
00:27:26,271 --> 00:27:28,061
-Yes. You're right
in the middle. -So you, you know,
708
00:27:28,106 --> 00:27:29,566
so you get to sit there
and watch
709
00:27:29,607 --> 00:27:32,147
how everybody does
the thing that they're doing.
710
00:27:32,193 --> 00:27:34,453
And, like you said, if you're...
if you're paying attention,
711
00:27:34,487 --> 00:27:36,867
if you are in school and
thinking about it in that way,
712
00:27:36,906 --> 00:27:38,776
you get to learn a lot of stuff.
713
00:27:38,825 --> 00:27:41,115
You know what I mean? And-and
you're... then you're an asset.
714
00:27:41,161 --> 00:27:43,161
Then you're, you know,
you're value-added,
715
00:27:43,204 --> 00:27:44,584
-not just 'cause you're
a performer, -Strong.
716
00:27:44,622 --> 00:27:46,502
but you-you'll be able
to help the director
717
00:27:46,541 --> 00:27:48,081
and go, "I don't think
we need that to that."
718
00:27:48,126 --> 00:27:49,746
And they're
like, "What do you know?"
719
00:27:49,794 --> 00:27:51,764
And I'm like "Well, I know
that this, that and this."
720
00:27:51,796 --> 00:27:54,416
And they're like, "Oh, good.
You just saved us two hours."
721
00:27:54,466 --> 00:27:56,046
Key word you said is
you're an "asset."
722
00:27:56,092 --> 00:27:57,842
You're-you're value.
You're not an asshole.
723
00:27:57,886 --> 00:28:00,006
You're an asset.
The suggestion...
724
00:28:00,055 --> 00:28:02,015
-That's weird.
-Well, I'm saying...
725
00:28:02,057 --> 00:28:03,767
-It's wei... No, I hear...
Okay, go ahead. -When I... when I say that,
726
00:28:03,808 --> 00:28:05,438
I'm saying a lot of the times
727
00:28:05,477 --> 00:28:07,647
the actor that talks
to the director,
728
00:28:07,687 --> 00:28:10,977
they can be perceived as the guy
that wants to do it all.
729
00:28:11,024 --> 00:28:13,194
But I'm saying,
when you understand,
730
00:28:13,234 --> 00:28:15,494
like you just said,
you're an... you're an asset.
731
00:28:15,528 --> 00:28:17,278
But I don't...
No one even said "asshole."
732
00:28:17,322 --> 00:28:19,702
Yeah, but I'm saying,
'cause there was a thing
733
00:28:19,741 --> 00:28:22,831
that was "floating around"
about Don Cheadle,
734
00:28:22,869 --> 00:28:24,829
-and I've deaded it
several times. -Oh, oh. Oh.
735
00:28:24,871 --> 00:28:26,621
I've put it...
I've stepped on it
736
00:28:26,664 --> 00:28:29,384
-every single time
I've heard it. -Oh. Every single time?
737
00:28:29,417 --> 00:28:31,877
Every single time I've heard,
"Don Cheadle's an asshole,"
738
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:33,460
I've... I've stepped on it.
739
00:28:33,505 --> 00:28:36,875
How many... how...
That's a thing?
740
00:28:36,925 --> 00:28:39,295
Not anymore. You're welcome.
741
00:28:40,845 --> 00:28:43,255
Right?
'Cause that's what friends do.
742
00:28:43,306 --> 00:28:45,846
Friends...
friends put out fires.
743
00:28:45,892 --> 00:28:48,142
* *
744
00:28:56,778 --> 00:28:59,028
* *
745
00:29:01,366 --> 00:29:04,786
You are now in the world
of Marvel, right?
746
00:29:04,828 --> 00:29:06,038
DON:
Mm-hmm.
747
00:29:06,079 --> 00:29:07,039
KEVIN: This is
a real question for you.
748
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:09,500
-Mm-hmm.
-Uh...
749
00:29:09,541 --> 00:29:12,211
a lot of people have said
750
00:29:12,252 --> 00:29:15,092
the world of Marvel is amazing
751
00:29:15,130 --> 00:29:18,630
until you're in it
and you can't get out of it.
752
00:29:18,675 --> 00:29:22,595
They say it's amazing
until you're in this machine,
753
00:29:22,637 --> 00:29:24,887
and when you're in this machine,
754
00:29:24,931 --> 00:29:26,731
the machine doesn't want
to let you out.
755
00:29:26,766 --> 00:29:28,976
It does not want
to let you out.
756
00:29:29,019 --> 00:29:31,809
-That's a better statement.
I don't think you're trapped. -Mm-hmm.
757
00:29:31,855 --> 00:29:33,355
-Okay.
-Because we know.
758
00:29:33,398 --> 00:29:36,028
You could, you could always go,
like, "I'm out."
759
00:29:36,067 --> 00:29:38,447
-Okay.
-But yeah, you're...
760
00:29:38,486 --> 00:29:40,156
it's... it's kind of
the Mafia sometimes, too,
761
00:29:40,196 --> 00:29:42,316
where they're like,
"Uh, you've been activated,
762
00:29:42,365 --> 00:29:44,195
and we need you here
in November."
763
00:29:44,242 --> 00:29:45,662
You're like,
"Oh, but I was doing a thing."
764
00:29:45,702 --> 00:29:47,292
They're like,
"Yeah, you was doing a thing.
765
00:29:47,328 --> 00:29:48,868
-See you in November."
-What was the longest?
766
00:29:48,913 --> 00:29:50,963
What was your longest shoot?
767
00:29:50,999 --> 00:29:53,539
-Over... over five months.
-Jesus.
768
00:29:53,585 --> 00:29:55,745
-Not at home.
-And no back-and-forth at the time?
769
00:29:55,795 --> 00:29:57,625
-Yeah. A lot of back-and-forth.
-Lot of back-and-forth.
770
00:29:57,672 --> 00:30:00,092
Too many back-and-forth.
You know what I mean?
771
00:30:00,133 --> 00:30:02,013
So it's, like,
you're really trying to go,
772
00:30:02,052 --> 00:30:03,512
"Am I just gonna go move here
773
00:30:03,553 --> 00:30:05,893
"and, like, be here for this
time and just figure out
774
00:30:05,930 --> 00:30:07,430
how to live here
during this downtime?"
775
00:30:07,474 --> 00:30:09,854
You know, I have pets,
and I got, you know,
776
00:30:09,893 --> 00:30:11,523
-my family's here.
-A life.
777
00:30:11,561 --> 00:30:13,231
-I want to say, I have a life.
-You got a real life.
778
00:30:13,271 --> 00:30:15,021
-Yeah.
-There's a lot of things going on at home.
779
00:30:15,065 --> 00:30:16,565
So that's not always, to me,
780
00:30:16,608 --> 00:30:18,228
that's sort of the golden noose
of it all.
781
00:30:18,276 --> 00:30:20,236
And that's the blessing
and the curse of it all.
782
00:30:20,278 --> 00:30:22,238
Because we're very fortunate,
obviously,
783
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,450
to be able to create these
opportunities for ourselves
784
00:30:25,492 --> 00:30:28,582
and for our kids
and be in a position
785
00:30:28,620 --> 00:30:30,910
for the first time in my family,
probably in your family,
786
00:30:30,955 --> 00:30:32,615
-Mm-hmm.
-to have a shot at whatever
787
00:30:32,665 --> 00:30:34,955
-this "generational wealth"
thing means, -Mm-hmm.
788
00:30:35,001 --> 00:30:37,091
and have annuities
and put things aside
789
00:30:37,128 --> 00:30:39,258
so that, you know,
when we're not here,
790
00:30:39,297 --> 00:30:41,087
people are taken care of,
and hopefully it lasts
791
00:30:41,132 --> 00:30:42,932
more than just one generation.
792
00:30:42,967 --> 00:30:45,507
Um, but at the same time,
like I said...
793
00:30:45,553 --> 00:30:48,013
And me, you know,
I'm 56 years old.
794
00:30:48,056 --> 00:30:50,676
Damn!
795
00:30:50,725 --> 00:30:52,515
I'm sorry.
796
00:30:53,561 --> 00:30:55,731
-I'm sorry. 'Cause I...
it was a thought... -It's all right.
797
00:30:55,772 --> 00:30:57,522
-No, no, seriously.
It was a thought... -Dude, I don't care.
798
00:30:57,565 --> 00:30:59,435
It was a thought
and I blurted it out.
799
00:30:59,484 --> 00:31:01,284
-I'm fine. I'm not... I'm fine.
-I did not mean it that way.
800
00:31:01,319 --> 00:31:02,949
-I'm not...
-Okay, but just understand.
801
00:31:02,987 --> 00:31:05,117
-I didn't mean it
the way it came out. -(stammers)
802
00:31:05,156 --> 00:31:06,826
We'll take a poll
on how you meant it
803
00:31:06,866 --> 00:31:08,946
with people here later,
after the show's over, but...
804
00:31:08,993 --> 00:31:10,833
I can sit up here
and honestly say, buddy,
805
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:13,500
-that that was
from a place of love. -Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Got it.
806
00:31:13,540 --> 00:31:15,500
-Like, damn! Like, damn.
-Oh, that was from...
807
00:31:15,542 --> 00:31:17,712
You didn't... If we
could play it back right now...
808
00:31:17,752 --> 00:31:19,552
-Play it back.
-These are two different damns.
809
00:31:19,587 --> 00:31:21,127
-Play it back in slow motion.
-There wasn't no...
810
00:31:21,172 --> 00:31:23,092
-I said, I said...
-"Damn." It wasn't...
811
00:31:23,133 --> 00:31:25,843
-there was no, like,
"Wow, that's-that's amazing." -I said, "Damn."
812
00:31:25,885 --> 00:31:27,795
No, you said the word "damn."
813
00:31:27,846 --> 00:31:30,056
-Do you want me to tell you
how you said it? -I know how I said it, Don.
814
00:31:30,098 --> 00:31:33,348
-Do you want me to say it back
to you how I think you said it? -Go ahead.
815
00:31:33,393 --> 00:31:34,983
-Damn!
-Not-not true.
816
00:31:35,020 --> 00:31:36,810
-Fam.
-Not true.
817
00:31:36,855 --> 00:31:37,805
-Fam.
-I said...
818
00:31:37,856 --> 00:31:39,226
-Kevin.
-I said...
819
00:31:39,274 --> 00:31:40,864
(quietly):
"Damn it."
820
00:31:40,900 --> 00:31:43,490
Each time you've said it now
it's gotten quieter and quieter.
821
00:31:43,528 --> 00:31:45,658
I could barely hear you
that last time when you said it.
822
00:31:45,697 --> 00:31:48,317
Well, that means that
you can barely hear the truth.
823
00:31:48,366 --> 00:31:51,076
So who has
the problem here, Don? Hmm?
824
00:31:51,119 --> 00:31:52,499
-Who has the problem?
-(laughing)
825
00:31:52,537 --> 00:31:53,997
-Maybe 56 is catching up.
-You're amazing,
826
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:56,209
the way
you "Nadia Comaneci" things
827
00:31:56,249 --> 00:31:57,829
and just flip them...
828
00:31:57,876 --> 00:31:59,336
-Oh, I know what
you just did there. -straight around.
829
00:31:59,377 --> 00:32:02,667
The way
I "Nada-coti-noma-diche." Huh?
830
00:32:02,714 --> 00:32:05,474
-Hmm?
-Uh-oh. Does he not know who that is?
831
00:32:05,508 --> 00:32:07,338
-KEVIN: The way
I "Nada Camaneci" it? -DON: Yeah.
832
00:32:07,385 --> 00:32:09,925
KEVIN:
He thinks he's the only one that can "Nada-cama-niche" it.
833
00:32:09,971 --> 00:32:13,601
-What are you talking about?
-You don't think I know what "Nama Cama-niche" is?
834
00:32:13,641 --> 00:32:15,691
What what is?
835
00:32:15,727 --> 00:32:17,347
You heard me.
836
00:32:17,395 --> 00:32:18,975
-Yeah, okay.
-Yeah.
837
00:32:19,022 --> 00:32:21,522
-56, though.
Let's get back to it. -Yeah. Damn.
838
00:32:21,566 --> 00:32:24,436
Still here. Still kicking.
Still walking.
839
00:32:24,486 --> 00:32:26,986
Knees are still working.
No noise.
840
00:32:27,030 --> 00:32:28,160
-Right?
-(stifled laugh)
841
00:32:28,198 --> 00:32:29,868
Right?
842
00:32:29,908 --> 00:32:32,078
-Can you see
without your glasses? -No, there's some noise.
843
00:32:32,118 --> 00:32:33,698
Can you see
without your glasses?
844
00:32:33,745 --> 00:32:35,405
-Are you at a point where...
-These aren't real, Kevin.
845
00:32:35,455 --> 00:32:37,415
-Whoa.
-I put these on to appear smart.
846
00:32:37,457 --> 00:32:38,997
We're gonna cut this part out.
847
00:32:39,042 --> 00:32:41,092
-You might need...
-I'm not gonna let this fly.
848
00:32:41,127 --> 00:32:43,377
-you might need some of these
to appear smart. -This part...
849
00:32:43,421 --> 00:32:45,471
this part won't make
the interview,
850
00:32:45,507 --> 00:32:46,967
because you're my friend.
851
00:32:47,008 --> 00:32:48,638
Do you want to see
if it makes you appear smart?
852
00:32:48,677 --> 00:32:50,637
They match your...
they match your suit.
853
00:32:50,679 --> 00:32:52,309
-Put a star next to this part,
-Here.
854
00:32:52,347 --> 00:32:54,217
-'cause it's not gonna make it.
-Here, try these.
855
00:32:54,265 --> 00:32:57,385
See? Look how smart you look.
Goddamn.
856
00:32:57,435 --> 00:33:00,185
(whoops) Professor Hart.
857
00:33:00,230 --> 00:33:02,730
-"Nada Comaneci."
-Good. Wow!
858
00:33:02,774 --> 00:33:04,364
-Could you do something for me?
-Yes, sir.
859
00:33:04,401 --> 00:33:06,111
Could you pick up
your wine glass and do that?
860
00:33:06,152 --> 00:33:07,402
Can I pick up a wine glass?
861
00:33:07,445 --> 00:33:09,195
Can a cherry get popped
in a picnic?
862
00:33:09,239 --> 00:33:11,279
-And now "Nada Comaneci"
with that hand. -Huh? Huh? Come on, now.
863
00:33:11,324 --> 00:33:14,704
Don't do this to me.
'Cause that's what you did.
864
00:33:14,744 --> 00:33:17,164
Whoa.
865
00:33:17,205 --> 00:33:18,995
Oh, my God.
866
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,920
(laughing)
867
00:33:21,793 --> 00:33:23,503
I don't think
I love a person more, man.
868
00:33:23,545 --> 00:33:25,505
I don't think I love
a person more.
869
00:33:25,547 --> 00:33:27,667
-That was amazing.
-Don, you're 56, though? Seriously?
870
00:33:27,716 --> 00:33:30,256
-Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
-I had no idea you were 56, man.
871
00:33:30,301 --> 00:33:33,261
The next one for me is:
you've done so much,
872
00:33:33,304 --> 00:33:35,314
you've played
so many different roles,
873
00:33:35,348 --> 00:33:36,888
so many different characters,
874
00:33:36,933 --> 00:33:38,773
and you said something,
While talking about Marvel,
875
00:33:38,810 --> 00:33:40,440
you were like, "Yo, you know,
going away for five months,
876
00:33:40,478 --> 00:33:42,398
"that's a lot, man.
Being away from my family.
877
00:33:42,439 --> 00:33:43,519
I got a life.
I got real things."
878
00:33:43,565 --> 00:33:45,525
-Mm-hmm.
-And you said, uh,
879
00:33:45,567 --> 00:33:46,937
that's the... that, for you,
880
00:33:46,985 --> 00:33:49,105
is the key component
to making decisions.
881
00:33:49,154 --> 00:33:52,164
-Yes.
-Uh, another real question is how long...
882
00:33:52,198 --> 00:33:53,868
how long has that been?
883
00:33:53,908 --> 00:33:56,038
When did you get to a point
to where you can make decisions
884
00:33:56,077 --> 00:33:58,457
based off of your time
885
00:33:58,496 --> 00:34:01,286
and-and your time being
taken away
886
00:34:01,332 --> 00:34:02,582
from your family?
887
00:34:02,625 --> 00:34:04,625
This is literally
the conversation I've had
888
00:34:04,669 --> 00:34:07,339
every day or every other day,
889
00:34:07,380 --> 00:34:12,340
because you start asking
yourself, "What is it for?"
890
00:34:12,385 --> 00:34:13,965
-Do you know what I'm saying?
-Mm-hmm.
891
00:34:14,012 --> 00:34:18,892
It's, like, we've been
so accustomed to hustling,
892
00:34:18,933 --> 00:34:20,813
so accustomed to being
on that hamster wheel
893
00:34:20,852 --> 00:34:24,152
and looking at every opportunity
as an opportunity
894
00:34:24,189 --> 00:34:25,689
to make the most
out of this thing,
895
00:34:25,732 --> 00:34:28,492
that we sometimes
don't factor in, like I said.
896
00:34:28,526 --> 00:34:30,946
You still have
to bring "you" to that.
897
00:34:30,987 --> 00:34:33,447
-Mm-hmm.
-It's not like you can just be like, "Yeah give me that."
898
00:34:33,490 --> 00:34:34,990
They're like,
"We're gonna give you that,
899
00:34:35,033 --> 00:34:37,953
-"but you got to be here
and show up at 5:00, -Mm-hmm.
900
00:34:37,994 --> 00:34:39,374
"and you got to...
you'll get home at 8:00."
901
00:34:39,412 --> 00:34:40,792
It doesn't work without you.
902
00:34:40,830 --> 00:34:42,500
-It doesn't work without you.
-Absolutely.
903
00:34:42,540 --> 00:34:44,960
So there is a cost to that.
You're remunerated.
904
00:34:45,001 --> 00:34:47,671
They're paying you.
There's an exchange.
905
00:34:47,712 --> 00:34:49,922
It makes sense on paper.
But, really,
906
00:34:49,964 --> 00:34:53,184
how much do you want and do
you have in the tank to give?
907
00:34:53,218 --> 00:34:56,638
And it's like I realized when
I really took some downtime
908
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,100
this last year
for the first time,
909
00:34:58,139 --> 00:35:01,019
took some months off,
not just not working,
910
00:35:01,059 --> 00:35:02,519
-but, like, vacationing.
-Mm-hmm.
911
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:04,690
Like, really going someplace
and sitting down
912
00:35:04,729 --> 00:35:07,149
and not doing anything
and swimming in the ocean
913
00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:09,610
-and-and going to the gym
every day, -Enjoying life.
914
00:35:09,651 --> 00:35:11,861
-eating right,
just enjoying life. -Mm-hmm.
915
00:35:11,903 --> 00:35:13,863
I need, now, to have stuff
that's really good,
916
00:35:13,905 --> 00:35:16,655
-working with people
I really want to work with, -Mm-hmm.
917
00:35:16,700 --> 00:35:19,620
directors I really admire,
scripts that are really good.
918
00:35:19,661 --> 00:35:21,621
So that when I...
so I can work hard,
919
00:35:21,663 --> 00:35:24,173
-and then I can drop that
and let it go, -Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
920
00:35:24,207 --> 00:35:26,957
and recharge my battery
to come back to that.
921
00:35:27,002 --> 00:35:29,052
You can truly give a
thousand percent into this thing
922
00:35:29,087 --> 00:35:30,707
because you want to do it,
923
00:35:30,755 --> 00:35:32,465
you care about it.
your effort's there.
924
00:35:32,507 --> 00:35:34,547
Yeah. Because I have
something to give,
925
00:35:34,592 --> 00:35:36,512
-because I've taken time off,
-Mm-hmm.
926
00:35:36,553 --> 00:35:38,813
and that's a...
that's a new thing for me.
927
00:35:38,847 --> 00:35:40,887
* *
928
00:35:47,439 --> 00:35:49,649
* *
929
00:35:51,651 --> 00:35:53,951
At what point
did you make the decision
930
00:35:53,987 --> 00:35:57,237
to use your platform to be
as vocal as you have been,
931
00:35:57,282 --> 00:36:00,492
uh, within politics,
932
00:36:00,535 --> 00:36:02,615
-Within, you know,
the injustices -Mm-hmm.
933
00:36:02,662 --> 00:36:05,292
that are going on
and have been going on
934
00:36:05,331 --> 00:36:06,961
for quite some time now?
935
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,130
After last year, after 2020,
if you're gonna keep talking,
936
00:36:10,170 --> 00:36:13,420
I don't know how you would
possibly talk about anything
937
00:36:13,465 --> 00:36:16,085
-and not talk about
what was going on in the world. -Exactly.
938
00:36:16,134 --> 00:36:20,104
You're just... you're
just skirting around things.
939
00:36:20,138 --> 00:36:22,558
And so, you know, I've always...
940
00:36:22,599 --> 00:36:25,639
I've always tried to use
the platform,
941
00:36:25,685 --> 00:36:27,645
use the microphone
that's stuck in front of my face
942
00:36:27,687 --> 00:36:30,437
and the cameras on me
to do a version
943
00:36:30,482 --> 00:36:32,612
of what Brad Pitt
always talked about,
944
00:36:32,650 --> 00:36:34,780
like: We can't get
out of the light,
945
00:36:34,819 --> 00:36:37,359
-and these other people
can't get in the light. -Wow.
946
00:36:37,405 --> 00:36:38,655
-So when you're pointing it...
-Strong.
947
00:36:38,698 --> 00:36:40,238
-You know what I mean?
-Yeah.
948
00:36:40,283 --> 00:36:41,953
He's like: I can't get away
from these people,
949
00:36:41,993 --> 00:36:43,873
and these people can't get
anyone to listen to them,
950
00:36:43,912 --> 00:36:46,122
so when you're talking to me,
I'm gonna go: Okay, cool, cool,
951
00:36:46,164 --> 00:36:48,254
cool, now look over there,
now talk to them,
952
00:36:48,291 --> 00:36:49,831
-Mm-hmm.
-now pay attention to that.
953
00:36:49,876 --> 00:36:51,286
And it just...
you know, people ask me,
954
00:36:51,336 --> 00:36:53,296
"Do you feel obligated
to do that?"
955
00:36:53,338 --> 00:36:55,128
And I don't know
if that's the right word.
956
00:36:55,173 --> 00:36:58,683
But I do know that, given
the opportunity that we have,
957
00:36:58,718 --> 00:37:01,508
that very few people have,
it's, like...
958
00:37:01,554 --> 00:37:03,974
use your platform for...
959
00:37:04,015 --> 00:37:06,935
for something,
because all of us, I believe,
960
00:37:06,976 --> 00:37:08,806
have the responsibility
and the obligation
961
00:37:08,853 --> 00:37:11,693
to try to leave this place
better than when we got here.
962
00:37:11,731 --> 00:37:13,231
-Mm-hmm.
-I mean, if you can.
963
00:37:13,274 --> 00:37:15,824
And I think it's never
been clearer than last year
964
00:37:15,860 --> 00:37:18,490
that the inequality is so great,
965
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:21,620
and the inequity is so...
966
00:37:21,658 --> 00:37:25,448
is so pervasive,
and the only way it changes
967
00:37:25,495 --> 00:37:30,625
is if people in position are
willing to put theirself at risk
968
00:37:30,667 --> 00:37:32,627
and be out there,
you know what I mean?
969
00:37:32,669 --> 00:37:34,339
We were... I was...
we were out there,
970
00:37:34,379 --> 00:37:36,299
and I was glad to be out there
with my kids last year.
971
00:37:36,339 --> 00:37:38,339
I was glad to be at
the protests with my kids.
972
00:37:38,383 --> 00:37:41,853
-You said kids, Don.
How many kids you got? -Yes. I have two...
973
00:37:41,886 --> 00:37:43,926
-Two beautiful kids.
-Um, 20s. They're not kids now.
974
00:37:43,972 --> 00:37:46,682
-They're 26 and 24.
They're grown human beings. -Grown. Good. There you go.
975
00:37:46,725 --> 00:37:49,095
I love that you are who you are.
976
00:37:49,144 --> 00:37:51,604
There is no change.
Outside of the asshole thing.
977
00:37:51,646 --> 00:37:53,516
-I was getting ready to say.
-Which I deaded.
978
00:37:53,565 --> 00:37:55,025
Which I deaded.
So you're not gonna hear...
979
00:37:55,066 --> 00:37:56,686
I mean, we don't have to do it
on the show,
980
00:37:56,735 --> 00:37:58,735
but it would be...
I would love to know, like,
981
00:37:58,778 --> 00:38:01,278
A) how many instances
of-of Asshole Don Cheadle...
982
00:38:01,322 --> 00:38:04,872
-I don't have a number. 13?
I don't know. -"I don't have a number.
983
00:38:04,909 --> 00:38:07,539
-13."
-13. I don't have a number, but if you...
984
00:38:07,579 --> 00:38:10,369
-"I don't have a number,"
comma, "13." -13. 13.
985
00:38:10,415 --> 00:38:14,625
-"I don't have a number,"
semicolon, "13." -I don't have a number. 13.
986
00:38:14,669 --> 00:38:16,049
What don't you understand?
987
00:38:16,087 --> 00:38:18,467
-I don't know. 13.
-No, I do understand it.
988
00:38:18,506 --> 00:38:20,216
It just seemed like
the sentence,
989
00:38:20,258 --> 00:38:22,718
-when you put both of the pieces
of it together... -Don. Don, stop.
990
00:38:22,761 --> 00:38:24,851
I don't want to end
a great conversation
991
00:38:24,888 --> 00:38:26,218
-on a bad note, right?
-Yeah.
992
00:38:26,264 --> 00:38:27,774
-It's an amazing interview.
-Thank you.
993
00:38:27,807 --> 00:38:31,227
You're 56 years old--
who knows when....
994
00:38:31,269 --> 00:38:33,309
You know. It's right there.
995
00:38:33,355 --> 00:38:35,145
Who knows when what?
996
00:38:35,190 --> 00:38:36,980
"You're right th..."
What are you saying?
997
00:38:37,025 --> 00:38:38,065
What am I saying?
998
00:38:38,109 --> 00:38:39,989
I'll know
if you finish the sentence.
999
00:38:40,028 --> 00:38:41,568
-What do you mean, "Who knows?"
-You know.
1000
00:38:41,613 --> 00:38:44,283
Im talking about
you knocking on the door.
1001
00:38:44,324 --> 00:38:46,534
-What door?
-Come on.
1002
00:38:47,786 --> 00:38:49,536
Did you just look up
into the sky?
1003
00:38:49,579 --> 00:38:50,909
I'm saying that this is
a moment
1004
00:38:50,955 --> 00:38:54,125
that I'm gonna value forever,
because...
1005
00:38:54,167 --> 00:38:56,127
Because "who knows"?
1006
00:38:56,169 --> 00:38:58,169
Who knows? Right?
1007
00:38:58,213 --> 00:38:59,923
Am I looking out for you or not?
1008
00:38:59,964 --> 00:39:01,934
-I feel like
I don't want to pound on that. -Come on.
1009
00:39:01,966 --> 00:39:04,006
Come on, man. That's my guy.
1010
00:39:04,052 --> 00:39:06,852
Damn it, Don,
we learned so much.
1011
00:39:06,888 --> 00:39:10,598
Um, a question that I got to ask
before we wrap things up:
1012
00:39:10,642 --> 00:39:13,602
What else does
Don Cheadle want to do?
1013
00:39:13,645 --> 00:39:15,305
-Not die.
-I never said...
1014
00:39:15,355 --> 00:39:17,355
you were talking about death?!
1015
00:39:17,399 --> 00:39:18,899
What were you talking about?!
1016
00:39:18,942 --> 00:39:20,152
I'm talking about who knows
if I'm gonna see you!
1017
00:39:20,193 --> 00:39:21,613
-We gonna go to dinner?
-Oh, shit.
1018
00:39:21,653 --> 00:39:22,993
-Drink wine?
-It sound like...
1019
00:39:23,029 --> 00:39:24,279
Up in the sky?
1020
00:39:24,322 --> 00:39:26,622
Don, it's a restaurant
above where we are!
1021
00:39:26,658 --> 00:39:28,118
That's the fucking biggest lie
you've told
1022
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:29,579
-since we sat down here.
-Oh, my God, you...
1023
00:39:29,619 --> 00:39:31,909
You were talking
about me dying, dawg.
1024
00:39:31,955 --> 00:39:34,575
Don, you've never eaten
at Earth and Heaven?
1025
00:39:34,624 --> 00:39:36,884
It's right above us!
1026
00:39:36,918 --> 00:39:39,088
We're gonna...
we're going straight upstairs
1027
00:39:39,129 --> 00:39:42,089
-as soon as this is over.
-Okay. That means that I do know now.
1028
00:39:42,132 --> 00:39:44,222
I-- There better be
a restaurant.
1029
00:39:44,259 --> 00:39:46,509
-What? I can't...
you were talking about death?! -There better be a...
1030
00:39:46,553 --> 00:39:48,303
there better be a restaurant
up there.
1031
00:39:48,346 --> 00:39:50,096
-You tried to kill
yourself today. -There'd better be...
1032
00:39:50,140 --> 00:39:52,930
Earth and Heaven,
and they'd better have a seat.
1033
00:39:52,976 --> 00:39:55,146
-Earth and Heaven is
amazing food. -Okay.
1034
00:39:55,186 --> 00:39:57,516
-We'll both go up there and get
something when we're done. -Okay.
1035
00:39:57,564 --> 00:40:00,904
All right. What else does, uh,
Don Cheadle want to do?
1036
00:40:00,942 --> 00:40:02,362
What haven't you done?
1037
00:40:02,402 --> 00:40:05,702
There's a lot of people
I'd like to work with.
1038
00:40:06,740 --> 00:40:08,490
God, there's so many.
1039
00:40:08,533 --> 00:40:10,163
We'll get there.
1040
00:40:10,201 --> 00:40:12,161
-We just got to find something.
-I mean, there's, like...
1041
00:40:12,203 --> 00:40:15,173
-there's a part, there's
a movie that I'm working on. -Yeah.
1042
00:40:15,206 --> 00:40:17,826
And there's a part in it,
the dude plays...
1043
00:40:17,876 --> 00:40:19,626
he's, like, a younger brother.
1044
00:40:19,669 --> 00:40:21,589
The part is funny.
1045
00:40:21,629 --> 00:40:24,549
-Dude has to be, like,
good-looking, classy... -Come on, now.
1046
00:40:24,591 --> 00:40:26,721
-You know what I mean?
-Come on, now.
1047
00:40:26,760 --> 00:40:27,760
-And, um...
-Bring it home.
1048
00:40:27,802 --> 00:40:29,302
I know LaKeith is available,
1049
00:40:29,346 --> 00:40:31,636
and I did put him
in my movie "Miles Ahead."
1050
00:40:31,681 --> 00:40:33,851
But I would love...
Did you see...
1051
00:40:33,892 --> 00:40:36,522
did you see
"Judas and the Black Messiah?"
1052
00:40:36,561 --> 00:40:38,191
-Yeah.
-He killed that, didn't he?
1053
00:40:38,229 --> 00:40:41,019
-Yeah, but I...
-Did you see "One Night in Miami?"
1054
00:40:41,066 --> 00:40:42,686
-"One Night." Great movie.
-Any of those dudes.
1055
00:40:42,734 --> 00:40:45,034
Aldis Hodge, Leslie Odom, Jr.
1056
00:40:45,070 --> 00:40:47,490
All would, like, right in there.
1057
00:40:47,530 --> 00:40:49,120
And they're not... they're...
1058
00:40:49,157 --> 00:40:51,197
-people don't know
how funny those dudes are. -Well...
1059
00:40:51,242 --> 00:40:52,832
'Cause most people
would be like,
1060
00:40:52,869 --> 00:40:54,369
"Get somebody
who everybody knows is funny."
1061
00:40:54,412 --> 00:40:57,332
But the thing
about a part like that is,
1062
00:40:57,374 --> 00:40:59,544
when you use somebody that
not everybody knows is funny,
1063
00:40:59,584 --> 00:41:01,344
then they have an opportunity
to surprise people,
1064
00:41:01,378 --> 00:41:03,758
and it's even a bigger
experience for the audience.
1065
00:41:03,797 --> 00:41:05,217
Totally got that.
But do you know what?
1066
00:41:05,256 --> 00:41:08,046
-I owe you one. I owe you.
-What do you mean?
1067
00:41:08,093 --> 00:41:10,393
'Cause you came...
you came on my talk show, right?
1068
00:41:10,428 --> 00:41:12,058
-Yeah.
-So I owe you one.
1069
00:41:12,097 --> 00:41:13,717
So if you want me to do it,
I'll do it.
1070
00:41:13,765 --> 00:41:16,015
-Oh, do the movie
I'm talking about? -Yeah, I'll do it.
1071
00:41:16,059 --> 00:41:17,939
-Ah...
-If you want me to do it...
1072
00:41:17,977 --> 00:41:19,267
Hey, hey. Look at me.
1073
00:41:19,312 --> 00:41:21,942
-Say you want me to do it.
-I mean...
1074
00:41:21,981 --> 00:41:24,401
-If you want me, just say it.
-Yeah. I mean...
1075
00:41:24,442 --> 00:41:26,952
-Just say it. I'll do it.
-I... Yeah, I mean...
1076
00:41:26,986 --> 00:41:30,316
All it takes
is for you to say it.
1077
00:41:30,365 --> 00:41:31,485
Come on, now.
1078
00:41:31,533 --> 00:41:33,033
Come on, man. You know...
1079
00:41:33,076 --> 00:41:35,826
-All right. Are we...
Am I doing it? -Huh?
1080
00:41:35,870 --> 00:41:37,580
-Am I gonna do it?
-The movie?
1081
00:41:37,622 --> 00:41:40,082
-Yeah.
-I mean...
1082
00:41:40,125 --> 00:41:42,165
Maybe we get back to it.
Maybe you and...
1083
00:41:42,210 --> 00:41:44,590
We'll talk about it
at Earth and Heaven.
1084
00:41:44,629 --> 00:41:46,009
Oh, ain't this a bitch.
1085
00:41:46,047 --> 00:41:47,877
Yeah. We'll talk about it
at Earth and Heaven.
1086
00:41:47,924 --> 00:41:50,014
-Ain't this about a bitch.
-Yeah, I'll serve you from the left.
1087
00:41:50,051 --> 00:41:52,101
Well, touché.
Well played, Don Cheadle.
1088
00:41:52,137 --> 00:41:54,257
-That's a callback, Kevin.
-Well played.
1089
00:41:54,305 --> 00:41:56,305
In the parlance,
we call that a callback.
1090
00:41:56,349 --> 00:41:58,889
Well played, Mr. Cheadle.
Ladies and gentlemen,
1091
00:41:58,935 --> 00:42:01,015
I don't think it gets
any better than this.
1092
00:42:01,062 --> 00:42:02,482
That concludes
our conversation, Don.
1093
00:42:02,522 --> 00:42:04,822
Thank God. I thought
that shit would never end.
1094
00:42:04,858 --> 00:42:07,148
Wait. First of all,
we're still rolling.
1095
00:42:07,193 --> 00:42:08,743
Whoa. My bad.
1096
00:42:08,778 --> 00:42:10,778
God!
1097
00:42:10,822 --> 00:42:13,782
That concludes our episode
with Don Cheadle.
1098
00:42:13,825 --> 00:42:15,445
What an amazing episode it was.
1099
00:42:15,493 --> 00:42:17,043
This is "Hart to Heart."
1100
00:42:17,078 --> 00:42:20,078
This man has a good one.
For now.
1101
00:42:20,123 --> 00:42:22,793
(laughing):
We're back to that?
1102
00:42:22,834 --> 00:42:25,844
(both laughing)
1103
00:42:25,879 --> 00:42:27,709
-I love you, man.
-Love you, man.
1104
00:42:27,756 --> 00:42:29,626
-I love you, man.
-Thank you, dude.
1105
00:42:29,674 --> 00:42:31,184
-Oh, my God.
-That was awesome.
1106
00:42:31,217 --> 00:42:33,217
* *
1107
00:42:34,012 --> 00:42:36,142
I love to give life antidotes.
1108
00:42:36,181 --> 00:42:38,351
Today's antidote
is quite the doozy.
1109
00:42:38,391 --> 00:42:40,981
Your feet have no purpose
without concrete.
1110
00:42:41,019 --> 00:42:43,479
What I'm saying is,
the steps you take
1111
00:42:43,521 --> 00:42:47,651
could be important,
ultimately depends on what?
1112
00:42:47,692 --> 00:42:49,492
What you ate for breakfast.
1113
00:42:49,527 --> 00:42:51,147
Get a good one, people.
1114
00:42:51,196 --> 00:42:51,316
It's time to go. (laughing)
