Trump Approval Rating Crashes to Historic Low Ahead of Midterms | with Florence Pugh, Josh Hartnett | Monday, September 29

0:05From Studio 6B and Rockefeller Center in the heart of New York City, it's the Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Can I join Jimmy and his guests, Warren Q, Josh Hartnett, and featuring the legendary Ruth Kirk. And now, here he is. Jimmy Spence!

1:00I love you. Thank you very much. Enjoy yourself. Welcome, everybody. Welcome, welcome, welcome to The Tonight Show! This is it! You're here. You made it. Thank you for being here. Thank you for watching. Well, guys, everyone's talking about this. The MTV VMAs were last night, and the show aired right after football on CBS. Ooh. Yep. A lot of 60 Minutes viewers were like, whoa, Leslie Stahl looks hot. Yeah, it was a fun night. The show was hosted by Snoop Dogg. And this morning, Snoop was like, it was? Let's get to some news here. According to a new poll, President Trump's approval rating has dropped to the lowest of any president shortly before a midterm.

1:44Yep, Trump's...

1:48Wow. Sorry, Trump's approval rating is 34.7%. Kash Patel heard and was like, my last breathalyzer was higher than that. Meanwhile, after rejecting their latest cease-fire proposal, Trump said he expects the U.S. to hold more talks with Iran this week. When asked exactly how much he'll be talking to Iran, Trump said, Somewhere between how much I talk to Melania and my assistant Natalie. I'm not sure we're close to reopening the Strait of Hormuz. I mean, it's been four months, and Trump still can't reopen the reflecting pool. Did you guys see this? A new poll shows that Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene Graham, is virtually tied with her Democratic opponent as she tries to hold on to the Senate seat she was appointed to after her brother's death.

2:33Now, keep in mind, this is South Carolina, where a Democrat hasn't won a Senate race since 1998. Here to tell us how she's going to turn things around is Darlene Graham. Darlene? Hi, Jimmy. Thanks for being here. I'm always here. You're the one who's a guest. Right. No problem. Uh, okay, these poll numbers aren't looking good for you. No, they're not. But there is so much more to winning an election than polls. But don't the polls show what voters are thinking? I would think so, yes. But there is so much more to winning an election than voters.

3:22Like what? I don't know. I was hoping you could tell me. All right, look, look. Do you have a campaign strategy? Not really. A campaign manager? Never met one. A platform? I generally just stand on wherever it looks like the ground is. Are you raising money? Forgot to. Running ads? Not a one. Knocking on doors? Seems rude. Do you at least have a slogan? Yes. What is it? Uh-oh. Please be nice to me. Darlene, I've got to be honest with you. I don't seem... You don't seem very prepared for this election. Not at all, no. Luckily, it's not for another few years. It's in 36 days. Well, that's going to be a really big problem.

4:19Darlene Graham, everyone. Thank you. Uh-oh. Please be nice to me. Yeah, uh-oh. Please be nice to me. It's not a good slogan. Well, some more political news following last week's summit between Trump and Xi Jinping. China just sent two giant pandas to the Atlanta Zoo. Yep. They flew in big cages and ate bamboo during the flight. So basically the same as flying on Southwest. Speaking of flying, I read that because of the major nor 'easter that just slammed the East Coast yesterday, LaGuardia Airport delayed 60 % of their flights. So, I'm not sure how, but the storm helped.

5:01How is that possible? Come on! How is that possible?

5:09Yeah, everyone's talking about the big nor 'easter that hit the East Coast, and I got to say, I'm still laughing at this video from outside MetLife Stadium before the Giants game. Did you see that? Take a look. Oh, yeah.

5:24That's funny, right? Boo! Boo! Boo! Boo! Not funny! Not funny! Are you booing the video? Nobody wants to see that! Boo! Boo! I'm sorry. I don't understand the issue here. It's just not funny to laugh at something that, you know, could have been very traumatizing experience for someone who may have been in one of those porta-potties. I'm just saying! I'm pretty sure no one was in any of those port-a-potties. No, I'm pretty sure someone was definitely in one of those port-a-potties. And I'm pretty sure they were screaming things like, Oh, no! What is happening? Why am I moving? Everything is sloshing all around me!

6:05Oh, my God! My socks are drenched! Is this how it ends? Oh, the humanity! Oh, my goodness, sir. Were you in one of those port-a-potties? No. I'm just saying, those are probably the exact words someone would have yelled had they been subjected to that amount of humiliation, especially in front of their girlfriend's parents, who they just met at the game for the first time. Sir, you can just admit it. You were in a port-a-potty. Fine. You're right, I was. And once again, I'm humiliated. Oh, come on. That's it. I'm out of here, Fallon. I'm getting in my Uber. Oh, no, come on, come on. No, we don't want anyone to...

6:43Oh, I don't want to do that. I don't want to humiliate anyone. You know what? Getting in his Uber. Gosh. Getting in his Uber. Can we see him outside? Nobody embarrasses me like that. Oh, man, it's still soaking wet in here. Oh, God! Whoa! Moving on. We'll get this. Residents of a city in Texas say the town has been overwhelmed with delivery drones and starting to affect everyday life. And, of course, someone's already trying to capitalize on the situation. Check out this local commercial that's airing there right now. Are you sick and tired of drones flying by your house making a racket, winking the baby, and dropping boxes all over the dang place?

7:23Well, you call me Judd Gubbins, a.k.a. the Drone Ranger. Oh, you hear that? That there's a drone just itching to be rustled on down. You're coming with me. Oh, man, that thing's up higher than it looks. Let's try again. Ow, dumb frickin' robot goose. Ow! Call 555-Buzz-Off today and make your home. Don't freeze on. Gotcha. Wait, what's happening? No, no, no! Help! Oh, this is bad. I ain't surviving this! Oh, terrible. Hope he's okay. And finally, a woman in Florida has just set a record as the world's shortest female firefighter. Yep. I heard advice. If you're ever in a fire, stop and roll. We have a great show.

8:17Give it up for the Roots, everybody. I'm from a crowd. You let me, let me talk.

8:27Oh, yeah. Oh. What a show we have for you tonight. She's an Oscar nominee who produced and stars in the new series East of Eden, which begins streaming this Thursday on Netflix. Florence Pugh is here tonight! Come on! I love Florence Pugh. Come on. Big time. He is a very talented actor you can see in the new film Verity, which is in theaters Friday. Josh Hartnett is joining us! That's our best! Fantastic. Have you guys seen these micro dramas that everyone's been watching? They're these super short vertical soap operas that people watch on their phones. They have great titles like The Billionaire Nanny's Dilemma.

9:11Or Help, My Heart Transplant Made Me a Billionaire. And, of course, The Tonight Show's very own Who Billionaire? Me Billionaire. That's right. We premiered season two of our own micro drama last night. And get this, it's already in the top five micro dramas on the Peacock app. Oh. Whoa! Top five! That's something... That's out of something like five. Well, there's five micro dramas. Out of five, Michael, we're in the top five. Wow. That's a weird... We think. Yeah. We haven't researched, and this is based on nothing. Right. But out of... You have a feeling. If you go to the app, and you go into the submenu, and then go into another submenu, and you end up somehow in a rabbit hole of microdramas, we are on that list.

9:56Maybe. Okay. And that's pretty exciting. Yeah, that's exciting. Can you imagine sitting where I'm sitting? Oh, my God. I can't even. Yeah. Like a dream come true. Your microdrama might be in the top five. We think. Yeah, yes. Yeah. Top five. I mean, it's top ten, say. Sure. Let's say top hundred. Let's say you're in the Billboard top 100. People love lists. Who hasn't? So there's a list. 100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95. Right. It goes all the way down to one. Right? On that list. Yes. In that list somewhere. We're there. Maybe. Yes, maybe. We don't know for a fact. It's exciting. You can't even imagine how exciting.

10:32Oh, my God. Anyways, but things continue to heat up tonight with two new episodes of Who Billionaire, Me Billionaire, brought to you by our sponsor, TheraBreath. Please enjoy. Go. And I think that's about it. I now pronounce you not man and wife. And just like that, I am no longer interested. What? Are you kidding me? I just got divorced for this. I know, I know. I think it was like the whole forbidden fruit of it all. Now you're available, it's just kind of like, yuck. Ugh. Is it too late to annul my annulment? You can annul anything for a fee. Well, I could use a drink. Slade, what's your poison?

11:15Oh, it's diphythylone. It's a rat poison that takes care of every rodent. But I'm just now realizing you're asking what I want to drink. Can I change my answer?

11:33Chase, you wouldn't mind if I hired your lawyer, you know, just to write up a prenup, just to be safe. I want to make sure my fiancée doesn't get her hands on your, uh, my billions. You know what? I don't think you've got to worry if she's going to get her hands on that money, because I don't think she exists. Oh, she definitely exists. Trust me. Then where is she, huh? She's probably just running late. I texted her the address what time to be here, and I know she got it because it said red right below the text, so... Oh, so she stood you up and left you on red. You really are a pathetic loser.

12:06Oh, yeah? Well, at least I'm a billionaire. Oh, not for long, dumpster Doug. When I get done with you, you're gonna be right back where you started, down to your very last hot dog bun, huddled up in the rain somewhere, dunking it into a tin cup of cheap whiskey until you convince yourself, hey, this actually tastes pretty good. You start selling Doug's whiskey buns to all the other derelicts until one day some yuppie mistakes your little operation for a booth at a farmer's market. He buys one and goes off and tells everybody. And it becomes a fad, just like the cupcake craze from 2011, or even worse, the Krona.

12:40People lining up all around the block to buy your whiskey buns. I'm gonna be in that line, Doug. When I finally get up to the counter, I'm not gonna order anything, not even a glass of water, which you should thank me for, because you're gonna need all the water you can get when I take out a match and burn your stupid whiskey bun business to the ground. You son of a... Son of a what? Huh? That's right. Now I'm the one who wants to know what you think I'm a son of.

13:16Ah! Ow! Wow! Take the cake, baby. Take the cake.

13:29A bitch. That's what you're the son of. A bitch. I'm gonna get you.

13:47Gala, Gala, Gala. Wow, they're really going at it. Yeah, I feel like it's been sort of building up for a while. Kind of like us. I guess. You know I... Sorry, you go. I was just going to say I remember the day that we met. And it's funny looking back, you know? It wasn't some lightning bolt. We were just at the christening of... Brenty's new yacht. Yes, yes. The bigger one with the helipad. And I looked over and you were standing on a helipad and you smiled at me and suddenly I felt like I was home for the first time and, well, maybe forever. somewhere along the way. I just stopped feeling like that.

14:31And it's like suddenly realizing you lost your favorite sweater. You started moving on. You know, you taught me how to be me. Yeah. It's so stupid. We live these lives, these intersecting channels of love, and we think they're so important. But in the end, we're nothing more than a couple of fellow travelers sharing a brief hello at the airport of life. Well, I better get going. I don't want to miss my flight. Brax, wait! Is there any way that we can trust? Start over. Hi. I'm Brax and Polch. Nice to meet you.

15:29Someone call 911! Don't bother. It won't do you any good. He's in a coma.

15:45Oh, my gosh. What? My thanks to John Stamos, Delaney Rowe, and Casey Esser.

15:58And maybe a few surprising cameos in some other episodes. Maybe Alex Earle? Maybe a big movie star? I don't know. You have to watch to find out. All 12 episodes are available right now on TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, and, of course, the Peacock app. Who Billionaire? Me Billionaire is brought to you by TheraBreath, Mouthwash, and Toothpaste for fresh breath that gets you ready, fresh, go.

16:28Our first guest tonight is an Oscar-nominated actress who produced and stars in the new series East of Eden, which begins streaming this Thursday on Netflix. Please welcome Florence Pugh!

16:44Happy to see you. Florence, welcome back to the show. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having me again. You recently took a trip to Italy, and you made a video, and it went viral. And I just wanted to show everyone the video just so they could see what you did in Italy. Yeah, lovely form. Back straight. Yeah, nice. Matt's sometimes, like, lean forward. Lean forward. Okay. I think you only take a sip of the left one to make sure they're even. Keep the right arm going. Yeah, nice. That's very good. That's good exercising. Yeah. You got to get the Aperol gain. You got to get the Aperol. Was that video for anyone specifically?

17:25Yes. So I had originally planned to land, and I had like a few hours, and I was going to be really good and brave and be a big girl, and I was going to work out with my trainer online. And by the time that I got there, all the hours had gone, and there was like half an hour left, and I thought, no, I've got to be true to myself. So I sent that video to my trainer. That's very thoughtful of you. So that's why I say Matt tells me to lean forward. I also think it's really funny. I want to congratulate you, by the way, on Spider-Man Brand New Day. Not only was it the... Thank you. You were great. You were fun in that film.

18:03Not only is it the highest-grossing film of the year, it's now the highest-grossing domestic film of all time. Oh, my goodness. What? Well done, Spidey. No one knew that you were going to be in this until it came out. When did you know that you were going to be in it? I didn't even know I was going to be in it. Yeah, you didn't? I was driven to work one day, and I was like, oh, gosh, I'm Yelena. Yeah, like, yeah. You're watching the film, and you're like, did I do this? Wow. There's loads of potatoes in my pocket. Yeah, oh, my gosh. People love that your character kept saying that Spider-Man's problems were small potatoes.

18:32Yeah, yeah. Compared to the Avengers' big potatoes. Big potatoes, small potatoes. Was that in the script, or was that Florence Pugh? A bit of both, yeah. Yeah, it is, yeah. I did a fair bit of riffing on the day of, like, how tiny the potatoes were, and, um, yeah. No, it was a brilliant bit. It was well done. It was great. Well done. Everyone loved it in the theater I saw. It's being predicted by December. You'll be in three of the biggest films of the year. There's Spider-Man Brand New Day. Then you're also in Dune Part III. And you're in Avengers Doomsday. Gonna be a very busy film. Whoo! Very busy.

19:06And you'll more than well have to come back if you're doing any press work. I would love to come back. But I thought we could play a fun game, a quick game. It's called Brand New Doomsday. And what I'll do is I'll give you a few questions, right? and you tell me which of the three films best answers to this question. Okay, is it like rapid-fire? Do I have to think quickly? No, you don't really have to think. Spider-Man Brand New Day, Doom Part III, Avengers Doomsday. I'll trust all of your answers. Okay. Favorite film in your location? Uh... Uh... You are thinking. I love that you're even putting thought into this.

19:40Yeah, thank you. Budapest for June. Ooh, June, yes, of course. I can't even imagine. I love Budapest. Great food. Great food. Really? Yeah. Oh, my God. Most fun you had with the co-star? Channing Tatum. Doomsday. Yeah. Ooh, I love that. He's super fun. He's so fun! He's fun and funny. I love him. Favorite line of dialogue? Potatoes. Yeah, potatoes. Potatoes! Potatoes! What are you talking about? When do you send potatoes to Tom Holland and it's taken completely seriously? Which, by the way, I did hear that Tom Holland just randomly mentioned you in some interview. Oh, you know, this all happened because of Tom.

20:16So years ago when I had just kind of started my relationship with Marvel and Black Widow had come out and I don't my Yelena wasn't as obviously big as all of the other big superheroes He on the red carpet of his previous movie when someone said who do you want to do the next movie with? Do you want to be with like Thor and I don't remember the superheroes But they were like all massive superheroes and he said no actually I want to I want to do it with Florence Pugh who plays Yelena. So because of that, fans were then, like, so excited about the idea of it, and that started the ball rolling. So thanks to Tom.

20:48Yeah, come on. Thanks, Tom Holland. I love that dude.

20:54And you knocked it out of the park. All right. Favorite scene to shoot? Favorite scene to shoot? Sorry. Favorite? Favorite phraseen. Favorite phraseen. To boot. To boot. Oh, oh, okay.

21:11I probably actually can't say much about anything, so maybe... Okay. So there's a scene in Dune where I'm... Somewhere. ...in a room with some people. And... It sounds amazing. And it rhymes with Bob at Bath-A-F-A-F-A-N. Oh! And then I'm talking to him... Yeah. And then I say something, they say something, I say something, they say something. Wow. I love that, love that. You set it up perfectly. I didn't say anything. No, no, you didn't say anything. You were very good. Hardest film to keep the details a secret. Probably Spider-Man, because no one would believe me that I was in a hot tub. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

21:54I was in a hot tub all day. But you did it. I did it. Yeah, good. You did a great job. All right, thank you for playing that game. I appreciate that. I'm very excited about this. Let's talk about East of Eden. This is based on the famous John Steinbeck novel. You've starred in it. You've produced it as well. When did you first hear that they're redoing this? I heard about it years ago when Zoe reached out to me. She is the writer and showrunner, Zoe Kazan. And she... Zoe Kazan, that's amazing. Yeah, she wrote it. Was it her... Yeah, her granddad directed the original movie. So she has this huge connection with it.

22:27Elia Kazan, yeah. Yeah, huge. And she reached out to me, like, early 2020, just before the world lockdown. And then we ended up having a Zoom two weeks into lockdown. Wow. And we both just fell in love, and she asked me to be her Cathy and if I could make it with her. So I created this project with her, and I'd just been given this huge opportunity to show up and grow up and create our version of East of Eden, which I'm just so proud of. And how do we set up what's happening? So it's an epic, a sweeping epic. It's so cinematic. We shot in New Zealand, so you can imagine all of the amazing mountains.

23:07And it follows Kathy Ames. She's the kind of engine in our story. It follows the Trask brothers, played by Mike Feist and Chris Abbott. And, you know, how all of their decisions in life lead to different situations and passed down family trauma. It's an amazing, amazing story. And it's, like, probably one of the hardest characters I've ever played. So I feel very protective about it. How do you get into these characters? Because this is like, what, late 1800s? Early 1900s? So I find perfumes for every one of my characters. Perfumes? Yes. I go and buy a perfume that is their smell. And there'll be smells that I would never buy as me.

23:43From that period in time or just in general? No, necessarily, or just in general. I'm sorry. Maybe there's vintage 1800s perfume out there. And you go, I'm Method and I have to smell like they smelled. Yeah. I smell like ****. Yeah. Sorry, yes. Exactly. No, so you just find some sense. I found an amazing perfume. And that scent is that role. Yes. So I found this beautiful perfumery in New Zealand called Curie Noir, and I found an amazing smell for her. I'd make playlists based off the different characters and the different vibes that would really help me get into certain scenes because there's quite some hard scenes in the series.

24:15That's insane. And what else? Oh, I found an amazing photography book that was from a photographer that took pictures of prostitutes during that time, and it was like a private kind of collection, and obviously it was very, you know, expensive to take pictures at the time. So all of the girls are in their rooms and they're smiling and they're just giddy and running around naked. It was just the most beautiful book because it's obviously from the era and the women that we were telling the story about. Wow. So I found all of these little pieces that really gave me an idea of who she was and what it was like to live in that time.

24:47And yeah, just truly an exhilarating experience playing her. Come on. Florence Pugh! East of Eden begins streaming this Thursday on Netflix. Florence and I are doing something fun after the break. Stick around, everybody. Come on back.

25:10Welcome back, everybody. We're hanging out with Florence Pugh. Now, Florence, we are about to play a fun new game. It's time for Dramatic Autofill. Here we go.

25:27Here's how it works. We have an iPhone here open to the Notes app, okay? You can do this at home. We're going to take turns pressing random words from the suggested autofill section right here. See these? Yeah. So we'll just press those things. When it's your turn, you press a bunch of words randomly until you hear a buzzer, and then we have to read nonsense that we just typed as a dramatic monologue. Okay? Yes. I will give you an example. I will go first, okay? All right, here we go. Just press anything. And go.

26:07There you go. All right, now I have to read this Mahalagasan cue cards over here to this camera. Ruth, can I get a little...

We got a little lighting, roots, mood music.

27:19I'm going back home now to get the stuff out of my truck. I have to get the kids ready to get off the road, so I'm not going back to work tomorrow. I'll see if there's anything I need from the store or anything. Why?

27:40How? How do you just come on now? That's good. That was fantastic. I almost teared up. I teared up. So next time, are you going to tear up? I got emotional. Yeah. I got emotional. Oh, my God.

East of Eden premieres this Thursday on Netflix. Stick around. We'll be right back, everybody. That's a new game. I'm a legend in my own time. Look at y 'all, just a legend in your own mind.

29:28Our next guest is a very talented actor starring in the new film Verity, which opens only in theaters this Friday. Please welcome Josh Hartnett!

29:45Josh Hartnett! All right, man. Thanks for coming back to the show. I always love seeing you, and thanks for doing the show. We always have interesting stuff happening to you. I was talking to you backstage. You were telling me about these whales? Yes. Where did you meet? I was shooting one of the projects that's coming out next week in Newfoundland, and it's set in Newfoundland. And I got up there, and I'm playing a fisherman, and I grew up in Minnesota, the most landlocked place on the planet. Yeah, yeah, of course. So I don't have any relationship to the sea, really. And so they wanted to get me out on some boats immediately, and so I went out on these little tiny ribs.

30:17They're about probably from here to the end of the stage. Tiny, tiny boats. And we went out to kind of just, you know, peruse. Yeah. And this pod of whales, like 12 giant humpback whales, came up to us and went under the boat and, like, all around us and looked up at us and, like, flapped their flukes and, like, did this whole dance and... I mean, fluke is a funny word. Yeah. And then, uh... Flapped their flukes is even better. Flapped their flukes. Yeah, flapped their flukes. They did some, uh, breaching is another good word. So they were jumping out of the water. This is crazy. It was incredible, but it looked like they were studying me, and it sort of changed my whole perspective.

30:49You said you made eye contact with one. I made eye contact with one of the big ones. That's the mistake. That's the mistake. No, these things are ancient. They could be 100 years old. So some of them have been swimming around for, you know, since before World War II. That's fascinating. It's... I mean, like... It really is. Crazy. It's not funny. It's incredible. Yes, it's weird. It's bizarre. But what is the show about? So the show's about a fisherman, as I said, who can't fish anymore because there's a moratorium on fishing up there because everything was overfished. But now, because of global warming, there's all these icebergs that are coming off of Greenland, and these guys, some of them collect icebergs and sell them to places that distill them into vodka and things like that.

31:27And that's a... It's a real profession. Is that right? My guy was doing that. He goes out. Something bizarre happens in the water, and suddenly we're in a whole new world, essentially. And you have an accent. I do. I have a Newfoundland accent. Yeah, what is a Newfoundland accent? Okay, all right. So here's the thing. You're going to learn it with me. Okay, you ready? Thanks, coach. All right, so we did these little warm-ups, and sometimes they were like nursery rhymes, right? So you can do a nursery rhyme with me, right? Sure, of course. So, eyes the bye that builds the boat. Eyes the bye that builds the boat.

31:56Kind of, yes. A little bit too Irish. I'm Irish. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Eyes the bird that builds the boat, and eyes the bird that sails her. And eyes the bird that sails her. I'm fired. I'm so fired. Eyes the bird that builds the boat, and eyes the bird that sails her. Eyes the bird that catches the fish and brings them home to Lyser. It brings her back to Lyser. Perfect. All right, great. We're set. All right, that's not bad. That's not good. Son of a... You can be in... We could do this. We could do, like, a buddy... Do it right now? Like, a buddy Newfoundland cop comedy. We... Cop comedy. Yes, we can't fish anymore.

32:30They can't fish anymore. They're cops. They're all cops. Yeah, they're all cops. This is a good idea. 500 ,000 cops. I'll pitch it to you, yeah. Below premieres October 8th on Netflix. So watch Below. Congrats on that. Thank you. And then you have another project. I do. Verity. Two coming out in one week. It's insane. I love it, bud. Congratulations. Thank you. The more Josh Hartnett, the better for me. But you're in this film with our pals Anne Hathaway and Dakota Johnson. Yes. And that's... Whoo! Uh, what's it like working with those? Did you know either one before? I knew Annie a little bit, but Dakota and I had never met.

33:05We met on Zoom before we started, but really just to kind of get into character and kind of... She's fun. She's great. She's one of the funniest people I've ever met. She's so dry. She does bits. And they go on. No, she's the best at it. You don't know when they're gonna end. No, you don't even know when... No. You don't even know when they start. I don't know when they start. She comes on the show, I go, I don't even need these notes. I'm like, just go for it, man. Yeah, she's fun. But this is also a big, gigantic book, and this is Colleen Hoover. It is. It is. I think it's one of her first, and it was just, I didn't realize what a phenomenon it was until I got involved, and then now I've got people coming up to me all the time.

33:36Just super fans. People just love it. Love her. Absolutely love it. Yeah. And then, yeah, it's very, very intense and fun and sexy. Yeah. Yeah. But you said the little pushback from someone's daughter. My goddaughter, who was 12 at the time. She's a very mature 12-year-old. She read the book. It's not really for 12-year-olds. But she'd read it. She's now almost 14. She absolutely could not see me in that role. She was like, you can't be Jeremy. You know, the character's name is Jeremy. You can't be Jeremy. You're like 1 ,000 years old. She wanted, like, Timothee Chalamet or somebody to play it.

34:08That's so funny. I mean, he's written in his 40s, so it's not... No, you have to do it. It's you. It is all you. I guess. It's all you. How did we set up what the movie's about without giving anything away? Because there's twists and turns and spoilers, and I'll never give a spoiler away. Yeah. It's a psychological thriller. It is a psychological thriller. That's not a spoiler. No. And my character is Jeremy Crawford, married to Verity Crawford. Verity's a big author, and she's mysteriously disappeared, essentially, from writing her... Who's Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway. So I go down to New York to find someone to replace her to start writing her novels for a ghostwriter, and I find Dakota Johnson's character and invite her up to the house, too, and craziness ensues.

34:45Certainly does. Oh, my goodness. Come on. Josh Hartnett, everybody. Stick around! 5, 5, 5, 9, it's right on time. I'm a step beyond...
