George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, & Michael Boatman Interview - ROD Show, Season 2 Episode 11, 1997

well hi George well hi Rosie how are you I'm good how are you you're great in the movie oh well thank you you are really great in it it was it did was it fun to do cuz it seemed like it was they all saw it I can't believe there's that many Ted Turners out there I no wasn't that great of him though a billion dollars I know amazing isn't it 100 million a year for 10 years for 10 years that's a billion isn't it that's good yeah that's a lot of money it's a lot more than I got but yeah wouldn't you like to be in a position to be able to do that yes I would me too yeah yeah everybody here went to see the movie we all went together now did you do get a discount did they get a little cheaper or they got in free they got in free part of the Rosio Donald show all right that's got to stop everyone saw it in this studio except Joanne our opening announc and John McDaniel thank you Joanne thank you John but I'm sure that will run $12 for you now you filmed this last summer during your Hiatus from me yes I did yeah in Slovakia really yeah we were in Slovakia the former Czech Czech Czech and Slovakia split up and so we were in Slovakia thank you for clearing that up cuz you saw that look of confusion I had no idea where we're making up countries now we in Macedonia too we shot some of it in Macedonia was it your entire Hiatus from y that you were there almost uh all of it and a little bit more I had to come back and do a couple of scenes for the show and then go back things like that it was fun yeah gosh you were working hard yeah now are you nervous about the ER the live show that's coming up uh yeah we're not going to do it live we've changed our mind what yeah we're going to bail out no you're not I don't think it's a good idea really I think it's a dumb idea and whoever came up with it um cuz someone told me it was you who came up it was you I didn't say I was smart I just what were you thinking one day on the set you thought this was too easy yeah that was bad acid I think is what it was I uh um it's going to be fun we're pretty excited yeah yeah it's we we've been rehearsing for uh 3 days now and it's wild because you know we have 62 speaking parts and about 100 extras and then another 100 crew members and there 18 cameras all together so this is this is like the old playhouse 90 only that was all kind of prenium stage this is all moving through in and out and it's very complicated it's really fun because I always wonder when I'm watching the show how many times you had to retake to if you catch a cameraman or a boom guy in the shot does that happen often it does do the the the style of this particular episode is that they're going to be doing a documentary in the uh in the hospital so you will see cameras and you'll run into cameras it's the only way we could do it oh right so then we won't be thrown when we see that and also so if you screw up you just go hey don't pay attention to those cameras over there and you keep going you just can't you can't curse and you can't call people by their real names now are you going to be tempted to do either those things yes no the big Temptation Of course is to plug the movie because it opens the next night there's not a whole lot they can do it's live exactly so like what would you do I'm thinking Tony and I worked it out uh Anthony Edwards said I can't do it or he'll he'll bury me because I keep saying I'll just go so Mark have you seen that movie Peacemaker he said no cuz he'll say I hear it sucks that wouldn't be good that's not good no so I got to find other ways to sneak it in yeah any ideas well I've got some I'm thinking about um you know just uh giving a guy a PE pacemaker pacem there's going to be a way somehow I'll find a way to do it I got to plug it just just take my doctor's you know code and then just have a t-shirt it says peace that t-shirt right which we gave the whole audience that would be good that's and nothing they can do at all no it's over it's gone that's what I feel that every day too it's a live show right now right you have everything's gone right now what I just said it's gone done I can't take it back nope can't take it back that it opens the 26th take that back you're going to do it twice though right you're going to film me our Live Twice yeah yeah yeah we're going to do it um live for the east coast and then uh and live for the west coast and all the people in Mountain time are going to get ripped off I think Denver and uh and Salt Lake City are going to be mad at us I think but we can only we could only get our set put back together in time to do it to do it twice to do it twice um anything with you and Juliana Mar Le this season I could tell you I guess um they're getting back together well U no I'm going to um I'm going to kill her I just decided I'm going to no uh Juliana and I have a little something happens yeah we really can't talk about it but we we're all hoping for it to you know oh you are yeah I'm saying nothing B yeah sure yeah hey you know um I was just backstage and um uh was talking to uh Nicole you know kid yeah sure I love her she's very nice and you know what I found out what well while I was working with her I found out that she's married to Tom Cruz she is yeah I didn't even know that yeah that was kind of funny I was surprised to see that cuz I know you you I hear that you you think the Tom's okay you know he's all right he's a he's a good actor and um he's not you know he's not really bad looking no he's not little bubble no but um we're not here about him everything doesn't revolve around him in my life you know I you know I can appreciate somebody's acting ability separate from their spouse sure I didn't watch this film and when Nicole was in danger think think anything like maybe if he doesn't save her type thing yeah I know I didn't think boom I'm in there if something happened you know I was in focused on the film I was all right did you like working together you and I didn't care for her no you didn't well I was thinking that maybe after the commercial we could bring her out would that be all right or would it be awkward for you I really don't I don't I don't I don't really want to see her the film it would it might be good for the film you just really it just help so suck up a couple all right kiss all right you know she's got she was a little sick what she got I know some kind of you know Fever thing really sure so don't you know don't hug or anything make her sit over there all right we'll come back with M Nicole Kidman fabulous

toast um cuz you guys made a bet about that didn't you yeah bet a lot of money I'm going to win myself some cash no George is going to have a baby within 10 years don't you think if I could do that I'd be a billionaire 10 years yeah 9 years now it's N9 years yeah you're you're already M and I have to pay $10,000 if he doesn't have the baby if he does have the baby he has to pay me $10,000 really

set the whole time Peacemaker and he was the the um resident clown that's not fair well you know I mean I love I love George he'd be a great dad but anyway it's not of my business yeah it's not of my either but why don't you want to have any no I'm only kidding but George you're very good with kids on the show too oh yes well I work with a lot see that's the thing is I work with a lot of kids yeah so I don't need any I got little actor kids little pretend kids yeah that's enough for you that's all you need all right I'll be talking your aunt when I see her at Rainbow and stars next month and we'll see what we can do about that big trouble Mimi leader who directed this directed you in ER yes she did had you met her before Nicole no well I met her just for the film we had a lunch meeting and um I loved her and we uh so I signed on to do it had you met George but it was sort of like being the new kid on the Block no I'd never met George either really all part of the plan was just horrible did you have a plan it was all part of the master plan what Mimi uh Mimi and i' work together a lot so I think Nicole felt a little out no I did no because that was so good to me actually when I came in the rehearsal period and we had a week rehearsal and we hung out together and within a week I was feeling very relaxed yeah yeah did you now in this movie you look young not that you that mean you're only like 30 right how old are you 30 you're young to begin with but I'm 35 I'm a lot older than you trust me 5 years older really a lot more stretch marks is all I have to say but you know Parker anyway why it all you sure yeah um the thing is in this film you do you you appear smaller I mean not like even SK but you you oh yeah no I have this thing about liking to be small on screen cuz I hate being tall and I'm 510 and it's the one thing I've always hated my whole life is being really tall always taller than people so so I I stand but George would always say that he that he looks small on screen because he always works with such tall women whereas really you're pretty tall oh I'm giant really but how do you make yourself look smaller what do you do well you stand out I'll show you you do this stand up George I'm the mannequin I've got heels on so you go like this oh that's how you doing cuz I thought it was just me standing like this on just put your hip out wait this is all you did the movie you just did your knee yeah no it's like I learned it at school to it's like that I mean it doesn't look very attractive no it's not good on you sadly it doesn't look bad on me I'm like the poster child for some new thing but this is it pretty much that's it yeah I look like an oal loopa when I do it you look like Nicole Kidman with a knee bent all right we're going to talk them more after this break watch the clip Peacemaker I'll be right back with Nicole Kidman and George Clooney now um Nicole have you seen the movie yes did you like it yes I did I actually have I

fringe look oh listen it's a joke now this is your first big action film big stars were you a little nervous I was very nervous I must say I've been doing this for 12 years or something but the day that I got to uh Slovakia which I call land of supermodels and lovely odors uh I got to the set and these guys were here and they were great and there's tanks and uh planes and f16s and all these things that are coordinated to my lines so the first couple of times that I'm supposed you know that that we do a take George comes in you know Captain have you got the situation under control and I would speak and I'd see these planes moving across the runway and tanks and Russians and everything and I just completely lost every single line that I had that day and they had to reset well oh yeah and that made it worse because and George would come in again Captain have you got the situation under control yes oh my God look at that F-16 I can't no well according to the audience view you did pretty well we have a clip take a look The Peacemaker Michael Boatman we've got him somewhere about here in dagistan still in Russia Below mahachkala on the Caspian Sea we've snuck a peek at
