>> IT'S JAMES MARSDEN. >> Jimmy: BUT WHEN YOU WIN AND YOU GET UP AND YOU START
TALKING, DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SAY? DO YOU HAVE A SPEECH
>> WELL, WHAT THEY DIDN'T TELL ME IS THAT YOU GET UP THERE IN FRONT OF EVERYBODY YOU'VE EVER
ADMIRED, ON LIVE TELEVISION. AND YOU GET UP ON STAGE AND THERE'S A SCREEN IN THE BACK
THAT SAYS "30 SECONDS," AND IT'S COUNTING DOWN AND THEN AFTER 30 SECONDS, IT
STARTS FLASHING IN RED, "WRAP IT UP, WRAP IT UP. AND SO, YOU'RE UP THERE
COMPLETELY BLACKED OUT, TRYING TO JUST STRING TOGETHER SOME COMPREHENSIBLE SENTENCES
AND I WALKED OFF STAGE JUST THINKING, I HOPE THAT I SAID SOMETHING.
>> Jimmy: NO, YOU WERE GREAT YOU WERE GREAT BUT, YEAH, ALL YOU'RE SEEING IS
"WRAP IT UP, WRAP IT UP. >> YEAH, IT WAS SO SPECIAL >> Jimmy: YOU THANKED
DENZEL WASHINGTON. >> YEAH. >> Jimmy: WHAT WAS THE
CONNECTION WITH DENZEL AND YOU >> WELL, THE MOMENT THAT CHANGED MY WHOLE CAREER,
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I WAS 12, BUT IT WAS DOING A PLAY WITH DENZEL, "THE
ICEMAN COMETH" HERE IN NEW YORK >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND IT SHIFTED MY WHOLE CAREER IN MANY WAYS. AND HE WAS SO KIND TO ME
AND BEING IN THAT REHEARSAL ROOM WITH HIM, I MEAN HE'S -- HE WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY AS
ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS TO EVER LIVE. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> AND HE WAS SO GENEROUS TO ME >> Jimmy: DID YOU GET NERVOUS
MEETING HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME >> YEAH, YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S LIKE MEETING
ROYALTY. AND IT'S LIKE MEETING, YOU KNOW, YOUR HERO FROM "TRAINING
DAY" AT THE SAME TIME. [ LAUGHTER ] SO, IT'S REALLY INTENSE.
>> Jimmy: IT'S EVERYTHING, YEAH >> AND SO, I REALLY -- I WAS SO
SCARED SO, I MEMORIZED THE ENTIRE -- IT'S A FOUR-HOUR PLAY.
I MEMORIZED THE ENTIRE THING BEFORE THE FIRST TABLE READ, SO THAT WAY I COULD SIT THERE WITH
HIM. I SAT RIGHT NEXT TO HIM, AND I COULD SIT THERE AND NOT LOOK AT
THE SCRIPT THE WHOLE TIME. I JUST CAME OUT THERE, JUST -- I KNEW I HAD TO JUST GIVE IT
EVERYTHING I HAD SO, THAT, YEAH, IT CHANGED MY LIFE
BUT HE WAS SO KIND >> Jimmy: AND TO SHOW HIM YOU MEANT BUSINESS IN YOUR WORK.
>> YEAH, AND THEN HE -- I MEAN, I STILL HAVEN'T TALKED TO HIM SINCE.
BUT HE CALLED BAZ WHEN I WAS SCREEN TESTING FOR THE ROLE AND KIND OF VOUCHED FOR ME
SO, I FEEL LIKE I OWE HIM A LOT. >> Jimmy: YEAH, I HEARD THAT
YOU WERE ACTUALLY PRACTICING BEFORE YOU EVEN AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF ELVIS.
>> WELL, I MEAN, I HEARD BAZ WAS MAKING THE MOVIE, AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE AN AUDITION
BUT THE DAY THAT I HEARD HE WAS MAKING IT, I -- SOME DELUSIONAL THOUGHT CAME OVER MY MIND THAT
I JUST NEED TO GIVE THIS EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE AND SO, I CALLED A DIALECT
COACH AND A SINGING COACH AND A MOVEMENT COACH, AND I JUST STARTED WORKING LIKE I HAD THE
JOB. >> Jimmy: BEFORE YOU EVEN GOT TO AUDITION?
>> BEFORE I EVEN MET BAZ AND THEN A COUPLE MONTHS LATER, THEN WE MET AND I WAS ALREADY
DOWN THAT ROAD SO THAT'S HOW I ENDED UP - >> Jimmy: WHEN YOU SEE THE
MOVIE, YOU JUST CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE IT IT'S YOU SINGING
IT'S YOU MOVING. IT'S YOU -- YOU GET THAT FEELING, THAT EXCITEMENT, THAT
ENERGY YOU'RE LIKE, OH, THAT'S WHAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE WHEN ELVIS
FIRST -- YOU KNOW, WHEN IT HAPPENED AND THEN YOU TOOK IT TO THE
NEXT LEVEL AND I'M SO HAPPY YOU'RE GETTING NOMINATED FOR ALL THIS STUFF
OBVIOUSLY, EVERYONE'S SHOCKED AND SADDENED BY LISA MARIE PRESLEY PASSING AWAY
SO SUDDENLY. BUT YOU GOT TO HANG WITH HER SHE GOT TO SEE YOUR WORK
YOU GOT TO ACTUALLY -- YOU WERE IN THE ROOM WITH HER >> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: THAT MUST HAVE BEEN -- WHAT WAS THAT LIKE IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE MOVIE
AND FILMING AND GETTING TO KNOW HER? >> I FIRST MET LISA WHEN WE
SCREENED THE FILM AT GRACELAND >> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND I'VE NEVER HAD AN
EXPERIENCE WHERE I MET SOMEBODY AND FELT AN IMMEDIATE DEPTH OF RELATIONSHIP TO THEM
AND SHE JUST -- AND SHE'S ALSO -- SHE WAS A PERSON WHO DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO
PROVE AND WOULDN'T OPEN UP TO EVERYBODY, AND SHE JUST OPENED UP TO ME
AND WE GOT SO CLOSE SO FAST. SO, YEAH, IT'S JUST DEVASTATING.
AND IT'S -- IT'S WEIRD IN MOMENTS LIKE THIS BECAUSE IT'S SO BITTERSWEET
YOU JUST, I MEAN, SO MUCH GREAT STUFF IS HAPPENING BUT IT'S REALLY -- I'M JUST,
YOU KNOW, DEVASTATED FOR HER FAMILY >> Jimmy: SURE
>> AND FOR HER TO NOT BE HERE CELEBRATING WITH US, YOU KNOW. >> Jimmy: I'M HAPPY THAT SHE
GOT TO SEE YOU >> YEAH. AND, I MEAN, JUST TO GET TO BE
WITH HER AT THE GOLDEN GLOBES, LIKE, I'LL NEVER FORGET THAT FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.
>> Jimmy: TO GIVE YOU THE SUPPORT AND TO GIVE YOU THE THUMBS UP.
WAS IT LISA MARIE OR WAS IT PRISCILLA THAT SHOWED YOU ELVIS' SLIPPERS?
>> IT WAS LISA MARIE >> Jimmy: YEAH, I REMEMBER YOU TOLD ME THAT
AND I WAS LIKE -- I GOT CHILLS >> I GET GOOSEBUMPS. THAT WAS AFTER WE SCREENED THE
FILM AND THE BEDROOM, YOU KNOW, HIS BEDROOM IS A PLACE THAT MOST
PEOPLE NEVER GET TO SEE. AND SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, "I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
AND SHE TOOK ME UP THERE AND IT WAS -- YOU KNOW, MOMENTS LIKE THAT, WE JUST SAT IN HIS
BEDROOM, AND UP THERE, HE'S NOT ELVIS. HE WAS JUST DAD, YOU KNOW.
>> Jimmy: YEAH >> AND SO, TO HEAR THOSE STORIES, I TRULY WILL TREASURE
THAT FOREVER >> Jimmy: DID YOU GET TO KEEP ANYTHING FROM THE SET?
>> YEAH. I KEPT A NUMBER OF THINGS. I KEPT, YOU KNOW, THE BLACK
LEATHER FROM '68 >> Jimmy: NO >> I KEPT THAT
>> Jimmy: THEY LET YOU DO THAT >> YEAH. I MEAN, IT'S IN A BOX RIGHT
NOW, BUT I NEED TO LIKE PUT IT ON A MANNEQUIN OR SOMETHING. [ LIGHT LAUGHTER ]
>> Jimmy: YOU HAVE IT. YEAH, AS SOON AS YOU WALK INTO YOUR HOUSE THERES --
>> EVENTUALLY I'LL DO SOMETHING. >> Jimmy: WELL, THAT'S SO COOL
>> SO, I HAVE THAT AND THEN WHEN I WRAPPED, BAZ GAVE ME THE BACK OF THE
"UNCHAINED MELODY" JUMPSUIT. YOU KNOW THE MEDALLION ON THE BACK OF THAT
SO, I HAVE THAT FRAMED AT HOME >> Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH. YOU WERE SAYING TOO, I READ IN
AN INTERVIEW, THAT YOU TALKED TO RAMI MALEK BEFORE YOU DID THIS
AND YOU GO, "YOU GOT ANY ADVICE ON HOW TO PLAY SUCH AN ICON? AND HE GAVE YOU SOME GREAT
ADVICE >> YEAH. WE HAD THE SAME MOVEMENT COACH,
POLLY BENNETT, WHO HE WORKED WITH ON "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY." >> Jimmy: OH, MY GOSH.
>> SHE'S JUST THE BEST AND SO SHE SAID, YOU KNOW, "NOBODY KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH LIKE RAMI DOES, SO I'LL CONNECT YOU TO HIM." SO, SHE CONNECTED US
AND I WAS REALLY NERVOUS, ESPECIALLY FOR THE LIVE PERFORMANCES BECAUSE I WAS
NEVER A SINGER I WAS NEVER A DANCER I'M ALWAYS A WALLFLOWER AT A
A PARTY. I'M VERY SHY SO, I WAS NATURALLY PERFECT TO
PLAY ELVIS [ LAUGHTER ] >> Jimmy: EXACTLY, OH, MY GOD.
YOU HAVE ALL THOSE THINGS GOING FOR YOU. "HE'S PERFECT!
EXCEPT HE DOESN'T DO THAT. >> YEAH. SO, SO, BUT I TALKED TO RAMI,
AND HE SAID, "YOU KNOW, THOSE DAYS SEEM LIKE THE MOST DAUNTING
BUT WHEN YOU GET OUT THERE IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE AND YOU FEEL A GENUINE RAPPORT AND YOU
SEE GENUINE EMOTION ON THESE PEOPLE'S FACES, SOMETHING ENDS UP HAPPENING THAT YOU CAN NEVER
EXPECT." AND THOSE DAYS ENDED UP BECOMING MY FAVORITE DAYS ON
SET AND PROBABLY THAT I'LL EVER HAVE BECAUSE IT'S THE CLOSEST THING TO WHAT ELVIS HIMSELF
EXPERIENCED YOU KNOW >> Jimmy: YEAH DO YOU LIKE THAT WHEN YOU GO
INTO A ROLE, TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF I MEAN, YOU DO "ICEMAN COMETH"
WITH DENZEL AND YOU'RE GOING TO PLAY ELVIS PRESLEY AND YOU DON'T SING OR DANCE.
>> YEAH. I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL KIND OF ABOUT, IS LIKE
EXPLORING BITS OF YOURSELF THAT YOU MAY NOT IN REAL LIFE YOU KNOW, AND ALSO USING FEAR
AS A COMPASS YOU KNOW, I OFTEN SAY THAT BECAUSE THEN IT EXPANDS YOUR
COMFORT ZONE AND I WAS SUCH A REPRESSED KID LIKE, I WOULDN'T ORDER FOOD FOR
MYSELF AT A RESTAURANT I WOULDN'T -- I WAS SO SHY SO, IT'S ALL THIS KIND OF
PERSONAL THING OF GETTING TO EXPLORE THESE BITS OF YOURSELF THAT YOU NEVER DO OTHERWISE.
>> Jimmy: YOU HIT A HOME RUN WITH THIS, BUDDY "ELVIS" IS NOMINATED FOR EIGHT

SEASON I'M GOING TO GO WITH THE EAGLES
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE * >> Jimmy: WAIT
>> YEAH. >> Jimmy: THAT TOTALLY CHANGED RIGHT -- AS YOU WERE SAYING IT,
I WAS LIKE, WAIT, HE'S GOING NON-EAGLES YOU'RE GOING CHIEFS.
YOU'RE GOING WITH EAGLES >> YES THAT'S WHY I'M AN ANALYST.
YOU KNOW, I'M THROWING YOU OFF AND THEN I GO BACK THERE AND THEN I'M BACK THERE.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH, PERFECT. >> THEN BOOM, I HIT YOU WITH THE PUNCH.
>> Jimmy: YOU'RE PERFECT YEAH, YEAH, YEAH I PLAYED AGAINST THE CHIEFS
MANY TIMES AND THE CHIEFS, THE LAST SUPER BOWL THEY WON, I WAS
RETIRED. AND NOW THEY'RE BACK IN THE SUPER BOWL AGAIN, AND I'M
RETIRED AGAIN. BUT WHEN I WASN'T RETIRED, WE BEAT THEM EVERY TIME IN THE AFC
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. [ LAUGHTER ] [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE
>> Jimmy: WOW. >> OR THE SUPER BOWL SO, I MEAN, THAT'S THEIR
FORMULA. I'VE JUST GOT TO RETIRE. >> Jimmy: YOU ARE A FUN HUMAN
BEING. I LOVE YOU PLAYING ON THE FIELD, BUT ALSO OFF THE FIELD,
YOU'RE ALWAYS FUN. I READ SOMEWHERE THAT YOU SAID THAT YOU BELIEVE YOUR PARTYING
MADE YOU A BETTER PLAYER >> YES IN WAYS.
SO, I'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT. IT WAS KIND OF LIKE MY PAST, THE PARTYING
EVERYONE'S LIKE, ROB, YOU'RE PARTYING TOO MUCH, OR WHATEVER I JUST HAD A GOOD TIME GROWING
UP I'M FROM BUFFALO, AS YOU CAN SEE.
THE BILLS MAFIA -- [ CHEERS ] YOU WATCH THE BILLS MAFIA,
THEY'RE TAILGATING, THEY'RE JUMPING OFF RV'S INTO TABLES, BREAKING THEM.
>> Jimmy: BREAKING TABLES. >> THAT'S HOW I GREW UP. LIKE I'M FROM BUFFALO SO --.
WE LOVE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME. WE LOVE TO DO CRAZY THINGS LIKE THAT
AND THEN I REALIZED, LIKE I WAS TELLING EVERYONE, LIKE IT MAKES ME BETTER IF I PARTY
LIKE, I'M A BETTER PLAYER OUT ON THE FIELD AND THEN I REALIZED IT
AND THEN I WENT BACK AND I WAS LIKE, HOW DO I PARTY WELL, I'M CARRYING MY FRIENDS,
YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE BAR I'M HOLDING THEM UP, I'M LIFTING THEM, I'M CURLING THEM,
THEY'RE ON MY BACK >> Jimmy: OKAY >> I'M JUMPING UP AND DOWN AND
I'M DANCING THE WHOLE TIME, KIND OF LIKE AUSTIN BUTLER, I'M GYRATING
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE >> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH YES, YES, YES.
THAT'S HELPING YOU >> YES, AND THEN I REALIZED THAT THAT TRANSLATED TO THE
FOOTBALL FIELD >> Jimmy: YEAH, OF COURSE IT DOES
YEAH >> YES >> Jimmy: HOW CLOSE WERE YOU TO
SUITING UP AGAIN THIS SEASON >> UM, I WAS -- I WAS KIND OF CLOSE.
>> Jimmy: REALLY >> YOU KNOW, I MISS IT SOMETIMES, BUT NOT REALLY.
THEN I MISSED IT FOR, LIKE, AN HOUR, AND THEN I WOULD GO WORK OUT AND THEN I'D BE LIKE, NAH,
I DON'T MISS IT. I DON'T HAVE THE ENERGY TO EVEN WORK OUT
AND THEN, ACTUALLY, I HAD A COUPLE PHONE CALLS ABOUT WITH SIX TO SEVEN WEEKS LEFT IN THE
SEASON, AND I TOOK THEM SERIOUS. I WAS LIKE, OH, "WHAT DO YOU
GUYS GOT YOU KNOW, WHAT'S YOUR OFFERS?" I WAS LIKE, "ALL RIGHT, I'LL
GET BACK TO YOU. AND I TOOK A FIVE-DAY PERIOD TO SEE IF I REALLY WANTED TO GO
BACK BECAUSE, I MEAN, I'VE BEEN DOING THAT MY WHOLE LIFE
I'VE BEEN AN ATHLETE MY WHOLE LIFE I'VE BEEN PLAYING FOOTBALL MY
WHOLE LIFE SO YOU CAN'T PASS ON THAT OPPORTUNITY, YOU KNOW.
I KNOW I JUST PLAYED LAST YEAR, SO I WAS LIKE, OKAY, I STILL GOT IT
I MEAN, I CAN IF I REALLY PUT MY MIND TO IT. AND THOSE FIVE DAYS PASSED AND
AFTER THE FIFTH DAY, I WAS LIKE, I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT GOING BACK ONCE.
I AIN'T GOING BACK >> Jimmy: REALLY >> SO, I CALLED THEM, AND I WAS
LIKE, "THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY," THE COUPLE TEAMS AND I SAID, "APPRECIATE THE
LOVE >> Jimmy: THERE WERE A COUPLE OF TEAMS TRYING TO GET -
>> I'M FINE. I'M HAPPY WHERE I AM I'M CONTENT WHERE I AM."
AND I'M STILL VERY CONTENT WITH THAT CALL. >> Jimmy: YEAH
>> I'M HERE NOW. I WOULDN'T BE HERE NOW IF I WASN'T RETIRED
>> Jimmy: YEAH, EXACTLY. WE'RE HAPPY YOU'RE HERE. WE WANT YOU TO BE HERE WHENEVER
YOU CAN. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE WE LOVE YOU.
BUT I KNOW TOM BRADY, YOU GUYS ARE GOOD PALS OFF THE FIELD AS WELL
DID TOM CALL YOU UP AND GO, LIKE, HEY, THERE'S ALWAYS A SPOT HERE FOR YOU?
>> YES YOU KNOW, I LOVE TOM YOU KNOW
HE'S A GREAT GUY HE DEFINITELY ALWAYS LEAVES THE DOOR OPEN, THOUGH.
THAT'S FOR SURE. BUT HE, YOU KNOW, "I SUPPORT YOU.
I LOVE YOU, MAN, BABE. YOU KNOW [ LAUGHTER ]

THOUGH YOU KNOW YOU'RE MY FAVORITE TIGHT END.

FANDUEL, AND THE WHOLE ENTIRE PROJECT IS CALLED "KICK OF DESTINY" BECAUSE IT'S BASICALLY
MY DESTINY BECAUSE IF I DON'T MAKE IT, I'M GOING TO BASICALLY GET A
A BEATING FROM EVERYONE IN AMERICA THAT PLACES A BET ON THE SUPER BOWL GAME.
