-I haven't seen you in a while.
I just want to say congrats.
"Call Me by Your Name" was unbelievable.
And that was a -- [ Cheers and applause ]
It was fantastic.
I loved it from the beginning to end.
I was like -- Even the credits, I loved the credits.
I go, "I've never seen a --
But, dude, you just hit a home run in that.
You were so fantastic in that.
-Yeah. -Congrats on that.
I didn't get a chance to tell you that.
You did a great job on that. -It was a fun ride, man.
It was a great experience to get to make,
and just the process of shooting a movie in Italy
is always fantastic
'cause there's always great food and wine during lunch.
-Yeah, it just felt like -- I mean, where was that shot?
-Yeah, we shot it all in Crema, the town that it takes place in.
-I want to live there. -I know. I know.
-It's so -- It is so beautiful. -Yeah.
-Everything was just great, but I just --
Everyone worked perfect together,
but, man, you were just outstanding in that.
-Yeah, thank you.
Let me say this for the viewers at home.
You smell amazing.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Thank you.
-Yeah, it's like a real -- It's a real thing.
I'm like, "Good God, you smell good."
It makes me feel like -- I think you smell so good.
Does that mean that I actually smell bad
and I'm used to my own smell? -No, you smell good, too.
This is all Pert Plus. That's all it is.
Yeah. That's all you need. -Pert Plus.
-Thank you, buddy. I appreciate that.
Also, you did the audio book.
-I did. Yeah.
-But that was different.
-Yeah, well, I play -- I play Oliver in the movie,
and the book is written almost entirely
from the perspective of Elio.
It's like his inner thoughts and his whole thing.
So, it was really interesting to go from focusing on the movie
to only Oliver's point of view
to reading the book only from Elio's point of view.
-You did movie first?
-I did the movie first and then the audio book afterwards.
So as I was reading the audio book,
I'd get to scenes and just like --
I'd have to stop and just sort of, like,
bask in the memories of Italy and the sunshine and all that.
-Would you have -- You're like,
"Would I have played that differently now if I knew --"
Oh, 100%. I was also like, "I really [bleep] up that scene.
Should've done that a little different."
-No. You didn't. You did it great.
Are you nervous to be on Broadway?
This is your debut here. This is your -- This is your --
-Yeah. [ Cheers and applause ]
Yes. -Is it your theater --
Is it your theater debut or no?
-Yeah, this is my Broadway debut.
I've done theater before.
I mean, I don't want to toot my own horn here.
-Toot away.
-But I did play Rooster Hannigan in "Annie" in sixth grade.
-Yes, we know that.
We all saw that. That was unbelievable.
-Of course. -You were who again?
-Rooster Hannigan. -That's right, Rooster Hannigan.
Yeah, of course.
-Yeah, might have been the peak of my career.
It's been all downhill since then really.
-You really got as much as you could out of Rooster.
-I can sing at least two bars of "Easy Street,"
and that's all I remember, yeah.
-But this is -- this is a big deal.
We love my man Josh Charles.
-Yeah, Josh Charles is great.
You know, Paul Schneider is great.
-Oh, Paul Schneider. He was in a movie --
You ever see "George Washington"?
Was that the -- -Which one?
-"George Washington." You ever seen --
-You're going to call me out on this?
I have to go see him at work tomorrow.
No, I didn't see it. -Oh.
We'll cut this out. We'll cut this out.
-Sorry, Paul. -No, we'll cut this out.
He's amazing. -No, don't. Leave it.
I actually want Paul to see that.
-Oh, really? You do?
-Doing ---
-I think it was a David Gordon Green movie.
-I play the younger brother in the play.
So this is like... -This is perfect.
You're like, "I don't know your stuff."
-Yeah. -Yeah.
-Doing a play is totally different then doing a movie.
I will tell you that. -Really?
-It's just like a totally different muscle.
It's like the same way that, like,
working out is working out, but, like, CrossFit is different
than, like, riding a bike
is different than, like, just lifting weights.
It's all a different thing.
Like, in a movie, you have to memorize five pages a day
or something like that, which is doable.
We have to have 120 pages of dialogue memorized.
And once you start, you don't stop till it's over.
So if you mess up, like,
it's a very awkward and uncomfortable few moments.
-Yeah. 'Cause you can't really improvise, right?
-No. By the way, if you change a line at all,
like if the line is, "Well, you would have done it differently,"
and you change it to, "Well, you would've done it differently,"
the stage manager will come up to you afterwards and go,
"You contracted those two words. Don't do that again."
You're like... -Wow.
-No, no, I know. I know. -Yeah, no, yeah, of course not.
Yeah, I will do it differently next time.
Yeah, exactly.
What is "Straight White Men" about?
-It's a story about a family.
It's a dad and his three kids who are home for the holidays,
and it's three brothers who are --
and the dad -- who are all straight white men.
And it's watching straight white men
deal with when one of the straight white men
stops acting like what society really expects
straight white men to act like
and the expectations that are put on straight white men.
-That's good. I'm going to check it out.
I don't like to -- I won't tell you when you I'm coming.
-Please don't.
-'Cause I don't want to make a big deal where if you see me,
you'll be like... -Yeah, yeah.
-"You're doing great."
-'Cause then I'll be like, "Hey, Jimmy!
Oh, sorry, Jane.
Sorry, sorry."
-Exactly. He messed that up.
-Yeah.
-And tell me about the movie right now.
This is a -- -Yeah. "Sorry to Bother You" --
-"Sorry to Bother You."
I saw the trailer somewhere.
And people were like, "This is something
like I've never seen before in my entire life."
-It is definitely something like no one's ever seen before.
It is an amazing movie.
Boots Riley, who I've been a fan of --
I mean, I remember listening to The Coup,
like, driving to high school and being like,
"Yeah [bleep] the man, right," you know?
And then I got a script from my agent, and he was like,
"Hey, dude, I got a script that you need to read."
I was like, "Okay, great."
He's like, "Let me tell you, it's kind of crazy."
And I was like, "Great."
He's like, "It's by Boots Riley."
I'm like, "I'm in."
He's like, "You should definitely read it first,"
and I did.
And it's just an amazing sort of take
on the society that we live in now
where sort of like the dollar is valued
over the value of human life,
and is the good of the individual
trumping the good of the group,
or is the good of the group good for the individual?
It's just really interesting commentary.
-It's also shot weird, like, different
and something like you've just never seen.
-Everybody needs to see this just so you can walk out
and go, "What was that?"
-Yeah. I like that.
