♪ ♪ >> seth: how we doing, 8g band? so lovely to see you guys. welcome back. we are so happy to be back. we have just come off a two week vacation. a two week break here at the show. a hiatus if you will. it is so lovely to be back. we also all had a wonderful time. i, myself, i went to italy with my wife. and we had a wonderful trip. we went to the dolomites, which is a mountain range in northern italy. we wore back packs, we went for a week long hike in italy. it was really wonderful. it is so peaceful, there are very few people around. and you see people on the trail, and 90% of them i would say are italians. and when they pass you, they all say "bongiorno!" or "ciao!" and i couldn't figure out what to say back. because when i said "bongiorno" or "ciao," i would feel like a phony who was pretending to be something he wasn't. and i felt when i said "hello," you could tell they would respond with, "oh, great,

americans." [ laughter ] and not that we were behaving in a bad way, i just felt that they saw us as a harbinger of terrible things to come. [ laughter ] so then i came up with the perfect thing to say. i decided every time we passed somebody i would say "hello" as though english was my second language. [ laughter ] so we passed people, and i go "hello!" [ laughter ] and it was great. because if they were italian, they would think i was an italian person who thought they were american, and they were like, "hey, what the hell?" [ laughter ] oh! i am so jealous of people that can speak and understand italian. it's like music. and it is so great, because usually when you're on vacation, when you overhear people that speak the language you know, you can tell how irritating they are. but with italy, everything sounds like music. you pass people like -- [ imtating italian language ] "bongiorno. bellisima. bella." you're just like, "everything is great."

whereas every time, the few times you pass americans, it seems like americans on vacation are always looking for a member of their family, just this beautiful vista, and someone's like, "david!" [ laughter ] "where's david?" with that said, we were pretty far north. so we were near austria. so there were like 90% italian, and 10% germans. and i will say, you have -- as far as beautiful languages, you have italy way up here, and then you have english, and then there's german. [ laughter ] somebody's like, "klaus!" [ laughter ] [ imitating german language ] i'm really ashamed. we were -- we had wonderful italian meals every night. and i did -- one night, the waitress asked how they were, and i did -- i did this, and as i did, i was like, "oh, what am i doing?" i went -- [ laughter ] i've never done that before in my life. my wife looked at me like, "what are you doing?"

i'm like, "i don't know, i just got nervous. i got nervous. the food was so good that this made sense to me." [ laughter ] "do you like the bread?" but she shamed me. she shamed me. the other thing, if you stay -- we stayed in these -- the only way to describe them is they're called rifugis. they're like mountain huts. and sometimes my wife and i would have a room to ourselves, but other times it would be a room with four bunk beds and you'd have to sleep with strangers, which is super weird, not great. but one day we were out, finished our meal, our dinner, because you eat at the huts, and we were outside. and there was this solitary guy, sort of a younger guy, sitting alone, reading a book. and he looked lonely. he just looked like a lonely person. and my wife and i waited, and finally i said, "hey, how are you? are you enjoying the hike?" and he started talking to us, and he was israeli, and he was really excited because he didn't speak german or italian. he's like, "i haven't talked to anybody for five days.

it's so nice to have a conversation again, this is wonderful. thank you for saying hello." really lovely guy. and then it turned out he was in our bunk room. and that night he was the only person in our bunk room with us. and he left before we woke up to go on his hike. next morning we woke up, he left a note on the bed stand next to our bunk, and it said something along the lines of, "when a stranger says hello, it teaches you to smile again. [ audience aws ] thank you, whatever his name, whatever it was." [ light laughter ] it was written in a way -- the handwriting was such that i got the sense that had we not said hello, he would have murdered us in our sleep. [ laughter ] so happy we said hello. or he would have murdered one of us, and then cut the throat, and then put the note -- [ audience ohs ] here. and then the one that hadn't been murdered -- hopefully me -- [ laughter ] it doesn't matter, but i guess

all things being equal, neither, but then anyway i would wake up hypothetically, let's say, and again it doesn't matter which one. but i'd wake up and go, "oh, no! i wish it was me!" [ laughter ] and then i take the note out, it would say, "you should have said hello." but it was wonderful, and i will say, my wife is a wonderful travel companion. and after telling that story, i'm just glad she doesn't watch the show. we have a wonderful, wonderful show for you tonight. we came back with a winner. from the new film "ant-man," he is a legend. michael douglas is here tonight.

awesome. >> thank you. thank you very much. >> seth: what an honor to have you here. >> my pleasure. so, where you been the last couple weeks? >> seth: i've been in italy. [ laughter ] so, this is the first time you've done a super hero film. >> yeah. first time i've done any kind of green screen special effects kind of movie, yeah. >> seth: and is this true? it's the first movie your kids have been excited that you're in? [ laughter ] >> that's true, too. mind you, my kids are 14 and 12, so there's a large part of my resume that they have not seen. >> seth: right. [ laughter ] >> so for a long time, you know, catherine, their mom was the actress and i made pancakes. >> seth: got it. so this is a big deal now. >> this was a tremendous deal. my son turned into like a 14-year-old agent, you know he's looking he says, "dad, dad, you don't understand. this is big in your career. this is big. [ laughter ]

this is a whole new audience for you. my friends they may even want to go see one of your movies." [ laughter ] >> seth: now i, i remember seeing, when i was younger, "romancing the stone," which is a great movie for kids that age. >> thank you. yes. [ cheers and applause ] yes, they've seen "romancing the stone." they've seen a couple of movies. but, when i was telling the story about the fact that you haven't really seen a lot of my movies, yeah, i've seen some of your movies. oh, really? what have you seen? i've seen "fatal attraction." i've seen "basic instinct." >> seth: oh no. >> i said, "what?" [ laughter ] i said, "what do you mean you saw 'basic instinct?'" >> seth: well, i guess a 14-year-old can get their hands on "basic instinct" in this day and age. >> in a manner of speaking. >> seth: yeah, exactly. right? so what did they think? did they have anything to say to you about that? >> we didn't know. because he realized once it slips out, somewhere, somehow, you know pay per view, whatever you can get. you've seen it, he back tracks very quickly. >> seth: got it. >> you know, he said, "well maybe i didn't. i'm not sure." [ laughter ] oh, yeah.

so you remember sharon stone? no, i don't. >> seth: i stopped before she showed up. i just watched your scenes, dad. >> right, exactly. >> seth: you, so you've been acting for 45 years. this is your first super hero movie. was it a thrilling to do this kind of special effects movie? >> it's so cool. it is. well, you know, i was always some good friends of mine, danny devito, jack nicholson, the penguin, the joker. in truth, no one ever asked me to do one. [ light laughter so i listened to them a little jealously and all of that, and to be part of the marvel family which is pretty amazing, they're really incredible. but how often do you get the chance to talk to an ant on your shoulder? >> seth: yeah. >> you know, i mean, and they had like four units shooting. we would had -- be the first unit with the actors, like us. the second unit was the stunt guys. the third unit was the green screen, special effects, and between shots i would walk around to the different units. and the fourth unit was the

macro ant point of view, which was just incredible. you see the movie, just phenomenal. and they're very smart, these marvel guys, you can only get so big and so strong and so steroid up before you got to get small. >> seth: uh huh. >> you got to get small. >> seth: and it's a very, i heard you say though you're a little jealous of paul rudd. is that because you didn't have as much action? >> well partially. sure. [ laughter ] but i mean i say humorously, because i adore him but paul was involved with co-writing of the script. and as we went to a couple auditions, i found myself getting more and more plot dialogue, more and more explaining things than everything else, and i go on learning these lines for, you know, five minute speeches, and paul would end the scene with a little deda bop. and get a huge laugh. [ light laughter ] i'm working my ass off, he comes in here for the killer, you know? >> seth: right, just things you do at the end. >> yeah, zings me right in at the end.

it's not fair. >> seth: when you do a film like this, you have to again, a marvel film, you're doing so much press. so many junkets. travel the world, and i imagine one of the big things with a movie like this is secrecy. you probably can't give too much away. is it pressure to travel and talk about the film before it comes out? >> it's pressure in terms of just exhaustion and jet lag. we had our first screening premier in los angeles. i was in europe. i came to los angeles to do that for five days. and then from there had to go back to london just before now, another junket. the days of jet lag. we finally had the premier in london, and we were leaving the next day to come back here to new york. i was trying -- wasn't asleep, i was trying to get to sleep. i took a couple of pills to get some sleep. and i couldn't, and i woke up i took one more. to make a -- [ laughter ] make a long story short, we're on the plane and i don't remember packing.

[ laughter ] i don't remember -- i turned to catherine, i said, "honey, this morning you got up, you looked cross-eyed, you looked completely cross-eyed at me and you started to give, to try to say the secret to the movie. all the sudden you started screaming 'spoiler alert, spoiler alert!'" [ laughter ] spoiler alert. i lost my wallet, my passport. she said, "the only funny thing that happened that morning." what is spoiler alert? i realized the whole junket time, this is i've learned this now, spoiler alert, so you don't give away the secret. >> seth: yeah, and now another place hard not to give away a secret, you went last year to comic-con for the first time. >> seth, i want to talk you about that. >> seth: okay good, cause, i was at the comic-con this weekend. >> i'm sure you are. you didn't talk about that in your -- >> seth: no, i had to talk about italy. >> let me ask you, did you wear a rain coat when you went there? >> seth: no, i dress like a

normal person. why do you say rain coat? >> i don't know seth. >> seth: was that your quest away at comic-con? >> well, i was -- >> seth: remember, this is your bait. >> i know it is. i'll be careful on that. i know, i just anticipated like 14, 15-year-old kids, you know. and i realize of course that you were probably the youngest guy there. >> seth: yeah, there are -- [ laughter ] >> they're middle aged and my age even and all those costumes. i wasn't a comic guy. i was lone ranger, hop along cassidy. flash laro. >> seth: okay. >> you know, cisco kid. >> seth: you need to go to cowboy con. that's where, you'll fit right in. [ laughter ] >> right. >> seth: i will say, you walk around the floor of the convention, and there are a lot of older gentlemen dressed like batman. and you think if this was really batman, i'd think gotham would be in serious trouble. [ laughter ] i'm thinking it would not be a good time. >> yeah, but it is a phenomenon.

i can't believe it. i did my homework for "ant-man," which i didn't realize that my character hank pym was o of the people who created the avengers. >> seth: yeah. >> and so, when i got the script, they sent me like two years of ant-man comics, so i get a little bit of a back story. i was really impressed how much character are actually in these things. >> seth: marvel's done a great job with that over the years. with the panels, you need to do that research. 'cause when they do the q and a, people don't say did you fun during the movie, they immediately start going encyclopedic with the questions. >> i keep the little cheat sheet on my hand. >> seth: one of the other great effects in this film, there are all these great effects, but there's a flashback, and instead of you, they do cg --is it cgi to make you look 30 years younger? >> cgi. they make you 30 years younger. there's a scene, i got ready for it, this kind of tech guy comes up, starts to putting pen points all over my face. i said, "what are doing?" [ laughter ] >> seth: nobody warned you what this guy was gonna do?

>> what is this? he goes, "you'll see." and then makes you 30 years younger. i do the scene, and then they go in, and they make you -- i'm going, "this is fantastic. 'romancing the stone,' here we go!" >> seth: redo them all. >> going right back, like we're going back to do them all over again. by then they have a holograph of myself. i've kept all my old costumes, my wardrobes. >> seth: perfect. >> so why not. go for it. >> seth: well, thank you so much. i can't wait to see the film. thank you so much for being here. it was really an honor.
