-Oh, by the way,
let me say one thing.
-Sure.
-Because I have an 11-year-old.
-Oh, yeah.
-His name is Jerónimo.
And they're huge fans.
Everyone in his school,
in his classroom,
are huge fans of this show,
even though they're not
supposed to watch it, right?
-Oh, yeah, yeah.
Well, it depends how cool
their parents are.
[ Laughter ]
You're very cool, yeah.
-But I just wanted you to --
-They watch us on TV?
-Well, I guess on YouTube
or something.
-Yeah, YouTube.
That's where all the kids watch.
No way.
So he's watching right now?
-He's watching right now.
-Hey, buddy! Hey.
Hi, buddy! How you doing?
Your dad is awesome.
I love your dad. He's so cool.
[ Cheers and applause ]
He's the coolest!
He's the coolest!
You really actually
are the coolest.
-Thank you very much.
-I've got to talk about this.
You're going to be in
the "Rogue One" prequel.
-That's correct.
-For Disney Plus.
-Yeah.
-Now -- Look.
Already you're distracted.
'Cause you're not allowed to
say anything about it, right?
-I've got to start to --
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got to look distracted.
-You got to make things up.
-Sorry. You were ta-- saying...
[ Laughter ]
-What can you say?
-Uh, nothing.
-Wow!
-Nothing. Well, I mean --
-No spoilers. Nothing.
But you are --
-Obviously nothing.
-You are in it, though.
-I'm in it, and I can't say
anything, but not because
I don't want to
or because of a contract.
It's because
they don't tell me anything.
[ Laughter ]
No, really.
They don't trust me, I think.
-Rea-- Why would they
not trust you?
-Because I like mezcal, man,
and I tend to...
[ Laughter ]
I tend to get drunk.
-Mezcal? [ Laughs ]
-I tend to get drunk
and say things.
You know, I also used to
leave my script --
While we were shooting
"Rogue One,"
I used to leave my script
everywhere.
They realized that.
I was single,
so it's also kind of cool.
Like, "Oh, you wanna know
what the film is?"
[ Laughter ]
-You use it to pick up girls.
-Or whatever.
Meeting, like, friends.
-Yeah, whenever you want
to meet people, sure.
But, I mean, do you remember
getting cast in the orig--
in the movie?
Was that a big deal for you?
-It was huge.
I couldn't believe it.
I was invited
to a restaurant in L.A.
The director was sitting there.
And he started talking
about the film,
and I was like,
"Okay. Interesting."
And then he was all the time
saying like, "There's this role,
and then this guy does this,
and then this guy does that."
And I'm just wondering like,
"When's he gonna ask
for Gael's number?"
or something like that.
-Gael Garcia?
-"Do you know Gael?
Because we really want him
to play the role."
-You thought he needed you
to get your friend
to be in the movie?
-Something like that.
I was like, "Why is he
telling me the story?
I'm gonna go out
and tell it out there."
-Yeah, exactly, yeah.
-And then at the end,
he goes like, "Yeah, and
I would love you to play it."
-Wow.
-I go like, "No."
-That's a game-changer.
That's a game-changer.
-Well, I mean --
-You got that, you got "Narcos."
Come on, man.
-No, no.
That was bigger than anything.
-It really is giant.
-I love watching those films.
-Yeah. You, uh --
I heard a rumor that the name
of the show is "White Snake."
-What do you mean?
[ Laughter ]
-I mean, no big deal.
You can say it.
It's not a big deal.
We're cool, right?
-Which show? Which show?
-We're cool.
-You mean --
-What's that?
-Which show?
-I was just talking about your
show, the "Rogue One" prequel.
-Sorry. My English
is just very limited.
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
-¿Cómo se dice "White Snake"?
[ Laughter ]
-To be honest, in Spanish,
it sounds like a porn movie.
[ Laughter ]
Not a show for kids.
-Can you -- Can you --
Si. "La Serpiente Blanca."
Where did you get that from?
I mean --
-I heard "White Snake"
is the name.
That's the rumor going around
on all the blogs.
-I'm quitting if that's true.
-No. Really?
So it's not "White Snake"?
-Do you really like that title?
-No.
-Me neither.
-It makes no sense.
-No sense.
-Who made that up?
-"White Snake."
-"White Snake." No.
-I mean, no, it's not.
-Okay.
-I think you have to --
You have to stop reading
newspapers and all the...
-[ Laughs ]
Get off the Internet.
-Yeah.
-Get off the Internet. Yeah.
I want to talk to you about --
'Cause when you did do press
for the movie, for "Rogue One,"
which was the biggest thing
of all time,
you kept saying something
in an interview.
Do you know what
I'm talking about?
-[ Laughs ] Yeah, of course.
-Why would you --
-I'm such an idiot.
Well, I mean, I come from doing,
you know, promotions of films
where they don't want to know
anything about the film.
-Yeah, of course.
-And now you arrive,
and you have to ask yourself
the questions, you know?
It's like, "Oh, do you want
to know what the film is about?
Okay. Let me tell you."
-Yeah. You ask yourself.
-But then I get to
the "Star Wars" world,
and it's the opposite.
You say one thing,
and it haunts you forever.
-Yeah. Let me show you what --
-Oh, no.
-We put a little compilation
of Diego Luna. Check it out.
-Jabba. I have always
wanted to touch him.
I like -- The texture of Jabba
is something I need to discover.
And the texture.
-[ Laughs ] And just like...
-[ Laughs ] The texture.
I'm very curious to actually
touch that texture.
Jabba. Come on.
Touching his, you know,
like, his belly.
Like, ooh! I am so tempted.
I mean, this is --
-"Yabba."
[ Laughter ]
Yabba. Yabba the Hutt?
-Yeah, obviously Jabba the Hutt.
-Yabba the Hutt.
-Come on. I watch...
-You want to feel the texture.
The texture --
-The texture of Jabba's belly.
I mean,
but that was one interview.
Then I was asked --
I was asked and asked
and asked about Jabba.
It suddenly started to feel like
I was in love with Jabba.
[ Laughter ]
It's not. I'm sorry.
I got to tell you.
I gotta talk to my son. Sorry.
-Yes, talk to -- Yeah.
-Hey, Jerónimo.
I'm not in love with Jabba.
That was one big mistake I made.
-Do you --
-But I have, like,
seven Jabbas at home.
Everyone gives me Jabbas.
You know?
It's like, "Ah, what is
the best gift for Diego?
He turned 40.
Oh, you're Jabba."
I'm like, "No!"
-Is Jabba gonna be in "Rogue
One"?
-I hope Baby Jabba, no?
Now that it's all about babies.
-That would be the cute--
Oh, Baby Jabba the Hutt?
-Can you imagine?
-Oh, no.
That's so cute.
start that rumor.
Now you're in trouble.
-Please. You're gonna edit.
-No. [ Laughs ]
We can't edit it. We're live.
-Sorry.
-Let's talk about
"Narcos: Mexico."
-Let's do it.
-You're fantastic.
Do you want to set it up
for anyone who hasn't seen it?
-Yeah. "Narcos: Mexico" is the
story of the '80s in Mexico,
how the madness started,
the madness we're living today.
It's a very powerful series,
I think,
because it's somehow connects
with the world we are living in
without you knowing.
By the end you go like,
"Holy crap.
That's why the violence today.
That's why what we're
going through today."
And for me, it's an interesting
way to tell the world
that the violence we're living
in Mexico these days
belongs to all of us, you know?
-Yeah.
-Market is here.
This is a global issue,
you know, and we're
getting the violence.
And this story tells you
why we're getting the violence
and what's happening
and how much
this is not a story of
good and bad people, you know?
There is many layers there.
-Yeah.
-And corruption is everywhere.
You know?
-You do such a great job
acting in this, I will say,
just to compliment you
while you're here.
But you don't play --
'Cause you are a bad guy.
-Yeah.
-But you don't play it
like a villain.
You're actually just -- Right?
-Well, you cannot judge a
character as an actor, you know?
Then I step back,
and I don't justify his actions.
But when I'm playing it,
I have to understand
why he's doing what he's doing,
so I have to find a way
to connect with the character.
You know?
And that's the job we have.
And that's the beauty
of our job.
We are playing a gang there,
and we are trying
to make a character real.
Now I step back,
and I see the story,
and I am so glad, like, we end
shooting the second season,
because it's -- it's --
it's exhausting.
You know?
The material is hardcore.
But then I go back home, and I
cannot tell my kids where I was.
You know?
-You can't tell your kids
what you did all day.
-Yeah, of course.
It's like, "Yeah.
I was just talking about
killing so many people
while intoxicating
half of the planet."
-You should just talk about
Yabba and the texture.
That's all you gotta talk about,
is the texture.
