-I have to comment
on your shoes.
Man! What are these jams?
-Some Gucci loafers.
Yeah!
You're pulling it off.
You're pulling it off, baby.
Pretty good.
-Really, just literally
two minutes ago,
I was putting cream on my ankles
'cause they were really ashy,
so I'm glad I did that.
-Yeah, exactly.
I didn't know he was going to
cut to them. Sorry about that.
Hey, uh --
We'll take it right out.
No, it's cool, because
they're nicely creamed up now.
-No, no, perfect.
-Let's just move away from that.
-You have the premiere.
The premiere is tonight, right?
"The Dark Tower."
-Yeah. I'm headed there
straight after this.
We're going to go open
that movie, yeah.
I'm excited, man.
-Your daughter is going to come?
=Yeah, yeah.
-Does she think
you're the coolest dad
in the whole wide world?
-Uh, not anymore.
I mean, she's like --
No, she loves me, but she --
You know, she just tells me
to calm down a little bit.
You know?
-'Cause why?
You just love her too much?
-Well, she just thinks I'm
trying to be cool all the time.
I'm like, "I am cool."
-Exactly! Yeah, exactly.
You are cool.
[ Cheers and applause ]
-Jimmy, she's always trying
to quiz me on rappers,
and I don't know
who's who anymore.
-Yeah, me neither.
I don't know anything, yeah.
But that will be fun.
That'll be a big deal.
-I'm excited.
The film's a good film.
And, you know, like --
-Stephen King, I mean, come on.
-Yeah, Stephen King, right?
-No one gets better than that.
Did you get to
meet Stephen at all?
-I did meet Stephen on the set.
He was really excited
about me playing the part.
-I'd be frightened.
He scares me.
[ Laughter ]
Like, I don't think --
I'm happy I don't know him.
-Yeah, there's
a lot of darkness.
-I love him, I respect him.
I don't want to meet him.
It's just -- He scares me.
He's the best at writing
the horror things.
But, I mean, you got to be
a little demented, you know?
-There's a lot of darkness.
I mean, if you write
all those things, right?
-I gave him a hug immediately.
-You did?!
-I was like, "You need one."
-You hugged Stephen King?
Yes, yes. "You need a hug."
He does need a hug.
-He needed it. He needed it.
-[ Laughs ] Oh.
He's a genius, man. He's great.
-He is a genius, yeah.
-I always find some
interesting facts on you
when I do research on you.
You wanted to be a deejay
at one point. Is that right?
-Yeah, yeah, I mean --
-A radio deejay.
-A radio deejay, yeah, yeah.
I deejay now, but I --
I wanted to be on the radio
with the mic, you know,
"The midnight hour,
ladies and gentlemen.
How you doing?"
You know what I mean?
"Hey, yo, this, that.
All right. We're going to take
it down for you tonight.
Look, I know you're
feeling it at home,
and, you know, things --
You had a hard week.
But that -- Just listen to
Idris on 'The Quiet Storm.'"
[ Cheers and applause ]
-"The Quiet Storm"?
Did you ever do it?
-I did. I did do it one time.
but, yo, check it out. It wasn't
exactly how I planned out.
Well, I answered this ad
for a radio station.
You know, young intern.
Boom. Took it.
And it was actually
a hospital that had --
No, for real,
they had a a hospital
that had its own radio station,
and they would play, you know,
music for the patients,
and they could click on,
and they would get shout-outs.
-That's a good idea.
That's a great idea.
-It was great,
but it was just --
The shout-outs were weird.
You know what I mean?
It was like, you know,
"Hey, Mr. Davis, how you doing?
I hope that catheter
is looking okay over there."
-"Hope that catheter
is looking okay."
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's a bummer.
-It was a bit awkward in places,
but it was a good experience.
-"Hope that catheter
is looking good," yeah.
-But then you -- Did you do,
like, a pirate radio station?
-Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Probably when I was
about 19 till like 20,
I worked on...
How does that work?
-...Climax FM.
-Climax FM?
Would you like -- Would you
be in a van or something?
-No, no, no, we used to be
in a little tower block
in North London.
North London. I can't give you
the address, of course.
But North London --
-Really illegal, yeah.
-Yeah, it was illegal, yeah.
And I had a show from
6:00 till 8:00 on a Saturday.
I had the drive-time show.
I loved it.
I loved pirate radio.
-Were you ever scared that
you were going to get busted?
-No, no, not really.
I mean, 'cause basically
you had to climb up
a couple of roofs
to get into the studio.
-No one could be
bothered, right?
-It's just awkward.
You'd get into your show.
You had, like, dirt and leaves
and dust all over you.
-Yeah. Yeah.
Let's talk about "Dark Tower."
You, Matthew McConaughey.
He's great. He's great.
-Yeah, he's a good guy.
You know, we --
We only had like two, three days
actually shooting,
me and Matthew.
-Oh, really?
-Yeah, 'cause, you know,
he didn't --
He didn't work much,
if I'm honest.
But, you know, I...
[ Laughter ]
No, I'm serious!
He had like four days
on the movie,
and I had the whole movie.
-Yeah, exactly. Whatever. Yeah.
-But, you know,
he's a really -- he's a --
-That's hilarious.
He's a good dude.
He's laid back. He's cool.
-He's very funny, yeah.
-Did he do, "All right,
all right, all right"?
-"All right, all right." No.
We had like three days of press,
and I heard him say that
about 15 times.
-Yeah. 'Cause everyone
asks him to say it, right?
-Everyone asks for that. So --
But I got to know him this trip,
and he's really good.
He's a great actor. He's
very dedicated to what he does.
And I learned a lot from him,
just watching him work.
It was good.
-Do you remember your first line
in a movie?
Does that stick in your head?
Do you have an "All right,
all right, all right"?
-My first line.
Oh, my first line was...
[ Laughs ]
"My bike!"
[ Laughter ]
-Yes, of course, yes!
That's fantastic. Wow!
-Thank you, thank you.
-Iris, now everywhere you go,
people will be like,
"Dude, say, "My bike!'"
What did you say? "My bike"?
-Yeah, I was doing
an infomercial for -- for --
I guess a lot of bikes
were getting stolen,
so someone was like,
"Let's make a commercial
about guys
locking up their bikes."
And I played it
while running up this hill,
and my bike was supposed to
be there and it's not there.
And I look.
The guy's stealing it.
I go, "My bike!"
[ Cheers and applause ]
-"My bike." It's fantastic.
I love that infomercial.
It was my favorite.
-My mic!
