>> Stephen: WE'RE PACK WITH
THE STAR OF MATRIX RESURRECTIONS KEANU REEVES. WHAT'S THE CRAZIEST THING YOU
GOT TO-SLASH-HAD TO DO. >> JUMP OFF A BUILDING. >> Stephen: HOW BIG. I'M GUESSING 46 STORIES. >> Stephen: REALLY JUMP OFF
THE BUILDING? >> YEAH. >> Stephen: IF SO MUCH OF THE
MOVIE IS DIGITAL WHY DID THEY MAKE YOU JUMP OFF A BUILDING? >> BECAUSE IT'S THE MATRIX AND
YOU USE NATURAL LIGHT AND YOU WANT TO DO IT REAL. THERE ARE WIRES. CARRIE ANN AND I GRABBED HANDS
AND JUMPED OFF A BUILDING. >> Stephen: WHAT DO YOU THINK
ABOUT HEIGHTS? >> WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET
HOLD AND YOU GET ATTRACTED TO HEIGHTS AND WANT TO JUMP? >> THAT IS A REASON TO SEEK
HELP. ( LAUGHTER )
HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU HAVE TO DO IT. >> WE WANTED TO DO IT IN THE
PERFECT LIGHT IN THE MORNING SO AROUND 19 TO 20 TIMES. >> Stephen: HOW DID CARRIE ANN
THINK ABOUT IT? >> SHE SPEAKS PREPARING MENTALLY
FOR IT, AND I WAS DOING THAT, TOO. BY THE TIME YOU GET THERE, I
MEAN, MY HEART RATE WAS A LITTLE RAISED, BUT AFTER THE FIRST
TIME, YOU CAN'T THINK OF THE FEAR, YOU HAVE TO GET -- YOU
HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT, ABSORB IT, AND THEN JUST BE THERE AND DO. AND THAT'S WHAT WE DID. ( LAUGHTER )
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: BE THERE AND DO. YEAH. >> Stephen: AND THAT THE WHAT
YOU DID. >> WE DID. AND IT WAS AWESOME! CAN YOU IMAGINE JUST LEAPING OFF
OF A BUILDING? WITH WIRES? >> Stephen: EVER BUNGEE
JUMPED? >> I HAVEN'T. BECAUSE I'M SCARED OF THAT. >> Stephen: SURE. ( LAUGHTER )
BUT 18 YEARS FROM THE LAST MOVIE TO THIS MOVIE, NO OFFENSE, I
DON'T MEAN TO OFFEND YOU, BUT WE'RE THE SAME AGE. HOW DOES YOUR BODY HANDLE THE
KUNG FU 18 YEARS LATER? >> I LOVE IT AND I THINK BECAUSE
I LOVE IT SO MUCH, IT DOESN'T MATTER. THE QUESTION, RECOVERY, YOU HAVE
TO RECOVER DIFFERENTLY. >> Stephen: A LITTLE LONGER
RECOVER TIME? >> YEAH, YOU HAVE TO PAY A
LITTLE MORE ATTENTION TO THAT. OKAY, A LOT OF ATTENTION TO
THAT. ( LAUGHTER )
AND I CAN'T DO WHAT I USED TO BUT I CAN STILL DO WHAT I DO,
AND, YOU KNOW, WITH EXPERIENCE COMES EFFICIENCY, AND, SO,
YOU'RE MORE EFFICIENT, BUT YOU STILL, YOU KNOW -- BUT YOU WANT
TO DANCE AND YOU WANT TO PLAY AND YOU WANT TO SING, AND YOU
WANT TO, LIKE -- ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
YOU KNOW? >> Stephen: I KNOW. I 100% KNOW. >> YOU KNOW? >> Stephen: I DO. YEAH. SO WHATEVER, MAN. ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: I DIDN'T MEAN TO BUM YOU OUT. I'M JUST CURIOUS. I APOLOGIZE. >> I KNOW. OKAY. >> Stephen: NOW, ONE TO HAVE
THE CHARACTERS, AND I WON'T SAY WHO, ONE OF THE CHARACTERS IN
THE MOVIE, FAIRLY EARLY ON SAYS NOTHING COMFORTS ANXIETY LIKE A
LITTLE NOSTALGIA, WHICH IS AN INTERESTING SELF-REASONS TO
PEOPLE BEING SO HAPPY TO SEE THIS WORLD. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT REALLY IS,
LIKE, I WANT TO SEE HOW THIS GETS EXPLORED AGAIN. >> YEAH. >> Stephen: THIS IS SUCH AN
ANXIOUS PERIOD OF TIME. >> IT IS. >> Stephen: HOW DO YOU FEEL
ABOUT THE IDEA NOSTALGIA COMFORTS IN MOMENTS OF ANXIETY? >> IT DOES. I THINK IT CAN. I GUESS EVEN BEING CALLED
NOSTALGIA MEANS IT'S A POSITIVE EXPERIENCE, RIGHT, BECAUSE
OTHERWISE, IT WOULD BE A BAD MEMORY. >> Stephen: SURE, A FLASH
WELBACK.>> A FLASHBACK. ( LAUGHTER )
BUT, YEAH, I THINK IT CAN BRING COMFORT. PART OF WHAT I FEEL THE FILM
EXPLORES, TOO, IS WITH THAT PASSAGE OF TIME, YES, YOU CAN BE
NOSTALGIC BUT YOU'RE IN THE PRESENT, WHEN YOU COME OUT OF
TTHE REVERY, HOW DO I FEEL ABOUT THAT TIME AND WHERE I AM NOW. THAT CAN CAUSE ANXIETY, TOO. ( LAUGHTER )
>> Stephen: PEOPLE ADMIRE YOUR WORLD VIEW AND HOW YOU LIVE YOUR
DAY ON A DAILY BASIS. ( APPLAUSE )
I'M CURIOUS WHAT A -- HOW DOES KEANU REEVES DEAL WITH ANXIETY? ( BREATHING... )
>> BREATHE. YEAH, YOU GOT TO BREATHE. >> Stephen: ACTIVATE THE VEGAS
NERVE THERE? >> THE VEGAS NERVE --
( LAUGHTER ) YEAH, BREATHE, TRY TO FIGURE OUT
WHY ARE YOU AFRAID, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, AND THEN TRY AND --
YEAH, TRY TO JUST BE AND LET NOT WHAT YOU'RE AFRAID OF DEFINE THE
PRESENT THAT YOU HOPE TO BE IN WHEN YOU GO DO WHAT YOU'RE
AFRAID OF. ( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: I'M ON BOARD. I DON'T KNOW. >> Stephen: I TOOK THE WHOLE
RIDE. I TOOK THE WHOLE RIDE ON THAT
ONE. HEY, THERE'S SO MANY --
>> OR NOT. ( LAUGHTER )
JUST BE AFRAID AND JUST DEAL, HANG ON! HANG ON! >> Stephen: JUST LEAN INTO IT. LEAN INTO IT AND BITE IT'S
HEAD OFF. ANYWAY. DID I SAY THAT? >> Stephen: YOU CAN SAY BITE
ITS HEAD OFF. DID YOU SAY A BAD WORD? >> NO. ( LAUGHTER )
