NOTICED WHEN I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU, I DID NOT MENTION YOUR SEXUALITY. UNITED MENTIONED THE NATURE OF THE ALLEGATIONS IN TERMS OF GENDER. >> BECAUSE I THINK THERE'S AN IMPLICIT BIAS BASED IN THAT FROM JUMP AND I TRY TO DEAL WITH THESE THINGS IN A NEUTRAL WAY. SO THAT PEOPLE CAN SEE THEM FOR WHAT THEY ARE AS OPPOSED TO HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THOSE KINDS OF SITUATIONS. DO YOU SAID SOMETHING TO ME? WHICH IS SO EASY TOUCH A GREAT IDEA, BUT IT'S SO HARD TO APPLY. THIS HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS CHALLENGE. IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLY PAINFUL FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE. YOU, OF COURSE, BUT ALSO PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT. BUT YOU HAVE FOUND A WAY TO OPPORTUNITY. HOW? WELL I ACTUALLY WOOD HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT TO THE BEST FRIEND THAT I HAVE IN THE WORLD. AND MY MANAGER, A GUY NAMED EVAN LOWENSTEIN. >> WHEN WE FIRST STARTED WORKING TOGETHER. BACK IN 2014, HE SAID TO ME TH, YOU KNOW, I WANT TO OBVIOUSLY HAVE YOU DO INCREDIBLE THINGS AND DO GREAT PARTS, BUT I DON'T REALLY CARE IF YOU WIN ANOTHER AWARD FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE. I WANT TO HELP YOU. FIND THE KIND OF FREEDOM, BUT I KNOW YOU WANT TO FEEL AND TO BE THE BEST PERSON YOU CAN BE. SO IN 2017 WHEN EVERYTHING HAPPENED AND I LOST EVERYTHING I REMEMBER I SAID HIM. I DON'T KNOW WHO I AM WITHOUT MY WORK. I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW. ACTING IS AS ALL I'VE EVER EVER KNOWN. AND EVAN SAID, WELL. IF WE'RE GOING TO SUDDENLY BE. PUT ON THE BENCH AND IF WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TIME THAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT, AND THAT'S GOING TO GIVE US A CHANCE TO START WORKING ON THE THINGS THAT WE WANT TO WORK ON ANYWAY. SO LET'S GET TO WORK. AND THAT. KIND OF PERSON IN YOUR LIFE. AND I WISH EVERYONE HAD AN EVAN LOWENSTEIN IN THEIR LIFE. THAT KIND OF CHALLENGE AND PUSHY. HE ENCOURAGED ME TO GO INTO THERAPY. ENCOURAGE ME TO GO INTO PROGRAMS THAT I WOULD HAVE NEVER DONE. I MEAN, I NEVER. >> YOU KNOW, WHEN THERAPY ONE I WAS I WAS YOUNGER. I ALWAYS SORT OF PULL MYSELF TO BEING AN ACTOR AND I WAS GOING DEEP IN MYSELF. BUT >> BUT NOW I HAVE. MY ABILITY TO TRUST HAS HAS HAS ZOOMED AND MY BELIEF THAT. IF YOU DO THE WORK. ANYBODY WHO'S DONE THE WORK KNOWS THAT YOU DON'T GO OFF AND DO THE WORK AND THEN COME BACK. THE WORK WILL CONTINUE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. BUT I HOPE THAT THAT I FEEL INSPIRED BY WHAT IHAVE LEARNED AND I FEEL SO GRATEFUL THAT I'M ABLE TO COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF ALL OF THIS. MORE LOVING, MORE PRESENT. MORE FORGIVING. MORE COMPASSIONATE AND NOT BITTER OR ANGRY OR EVENTUAL BECAUSE IF I READ THOSE THINGS, THE NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN WORTH IT. DO YOU BLAME? WELL, I THINK FEAR. FEAR IS WHAT DRIVES A LOT OF PEOPLE TO MAKE DECISIONS THAT THEY MAKE. AND I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, LOOK, I'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE WHO STEPPED UP AND I KNOW THERE'S GOING TO BE MORE COMING SOON. BUT THERE ARE ALSO PEOPLE THAT I'VE SPOKEN TO WHO ARE. THEY LOVE ME. THEY BELIEVE IN ME. THEY'VE STOOD WITH ME IN PRIVATE PERSONALLY ALL THE TIME. BUT THEY'RE AFRAID TO STAND UP. AND I'VE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HONEST WITH ME ABOUT THAT. AND I THINK HAT'S A SHAME. THAT WE'VE COME TO A PLACE AS A SOCIETY WHERE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID TO SAY WHAT THEY BELIEVE IN WHAT THEY FEEL BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID THEY'RE GOING TO CANCEL 2. WHAT HAS BEEN THE HARDEST PART AND ALL THIS EMOTIONALLY? I I LOSING AS MUCH AS I LOST. AND I THINK ALSO THAT THE WHAT HAPPENED WITH MY I HAVE TO SAY, YOU KNOW, I'M NOT I'M NOT PUTTING ON A PITY PARTY. THERE ARE THINGS THAT HAVE UPSET ME ABOUT DECISIONS THAT PEOPLE HAVE MADE. BUT I THINK THE THE WORST OF IT WAS THE OTHER DAY WHEN MY BROTHER SOLD PICTURES OF MY MOTHER. IN HER LAST DYING DAYS WHEN SHE WAS SUFFERING FROM A VERY AGGRESSIVE BRAIN TUMOR. AND HE TOOK PHOTOS THAT HE PROMISED WOULD ONLY BE FOR HIM. THEY WOULD NEVER BE FOR ANYONE ELSE. HE SOLD THEM TO THE DAILY MAIL. AND FOUND THAT TO BE. SUCH A VIOLATION OF MY MOTHER'S DIGNITY. AND SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN MORTIFIED BY IT. AND I AM MUCH MORE EMOTIONAL ABOUT THAT BECAUSE IT HAPPENED TO HER AND TO MY FAMILY AND TO MY SISTER AND MY NIECE. WE DID EVERYTHING WE COULD TO PROTECT HER. AND THAT HURTS ME MORE THAN ANYTHING THAT HAPPENED TO ME. HOW DO YOUU DEAL?HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS, ACCOUNTABILITY FOR YOUR ACTIONS. >> YOUR ROLE IN PUTTING YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE NOW. >> I ACCEPT MY ACCOUNTABILITY. I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. I AM NOT GOING MAKE BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THINGS. I DIDN'T DO WITH THAT WERE EXAGGERATED OR GREATLY CHANGED. BUT I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT MY ROLE IN IT WAS MY ROLE IN IT. AND MY ROLE GOING FORWARD NOW IS TO YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING IN LIFE. YOU KNOW, YOU GET PRESENTED WITH SOMETHING. AND, YOU KNOW, YOU MAKE A REACTION TO IT OR YOU MAKE A DECISION ABOUT AND IT'S NOT THE RIGHT DECISION AND THEN YOU DO IT AGAIN. YOU DO IT AGAIN. YOU MAKE A MISTAKE YOU MAKE DAY. >> AND THEN ONE DAY YOU GO, WAIT. AND YOU MAKE THE BEST DECISION. YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION. AND THAT'S WHAT MOVING THE BALL DOWN. THE FIELD IS ABOUT. YOU KNOW, IT'S I DID THAT. I GOT THROUGH I GOT PAST THAT. AND EVERY DAY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. AND THAT IS WHAT I'M SETTING OUT TO ACHIEVE. AND TO PROVE TO MY COLLEAGUES AND TO MY FRIENDS AND TO THOSE PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO DOUBT ME. >> CAN YOU HANDLE IF THEY WON'T LET YOU BACK IN? >> I WILL SIMPLY SAY THIS. I DON'T THINK THAT. AN EXECUTIVE. NO MATTER HOW POWERFUL AND ANY COMPANY SHOULD SPEAK FOR THE ENTIRE AMERICAN PUBLIC FOR THE ENTIRE BRITISH PUBLIC. I THINK THE PUBLIC WHO STOPPED ME ALL THE TIME, CHRIS I TRAVEL ALL OVER THE WORLD. AND I KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET THAT APPARENTLY DON'T AND HAVE SOME NASTY THINGS TO SAY ABOUT ME. BUT I HAVE NEVER MET ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE IN REAL LIFE. EVERYONE WHO STOPS ME EVERY SINGLE DAY IS SO GENEROUS. HAPPY TO SEE ME. AND IF THERE'S A THEME TO ANY OF OUR CONVERSATIONS, WHEN YOU'RE GETTING BACK TO WORK. >> THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE MAJORITY AND THE INTEREST OF THE MINORITY WHEN IT COMETO THE POWERFUL AND THEY'RE NOT ALWAYS THE SAME THING THAT REFLECTING THE SAME VALUES ALL THE TIME. AND PEOPLE ARE A LOT MORE FORGIVING. VERY OFTEN. THE ELITES ARE I WANT TO PUT UP FOR PEOPLE. SO THEY UNDERSTAND CONTEXTUALLY. WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WITH SHARON STONE, LIAM NEESON F MURRAY, ABRAHAM PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY RESPECTED, NOT JUST FOR THEIR ACTING, BUT ALSO OFFER THEMSELVES AS PEOPLE PEOPLE GOT TO KNOW LIAM NEESON THE TRAGEDY WITH HIS WIFE IN THE WORK THAT HE'S DONE AFTERWARDS. ALL RIGHT. HE SPEAKS ABOUT YOU AS A MAN HE STANDS FOR YOU AS A MAN. HE SAYS ONE OF THE FINEST ARTISTS THE INDUSTRY NEEDS HIM, BUT THAT HE'S A GOOD MAN AND A MAN OF CHARACTER F MURRAY, ABRAHAM SAID THAT EVEN MORE DIRECTLY AND DEMONSTRATIVE LEE AND SHARON STONE DID AS WELL. AND SHE EVEN WON AFTER YOUR ACCUSER. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU WHEN, YOU KNOW EVEN KNOW, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE THEY'RE SENIOR STATUS, RIGHT? I MEAN, NOBODY'S GOING TO TAKE IT AWAY FROM THEM. THEY DON'T NEED TO WORK EVER AGAIN. WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT THEY CAME OUT? >> IT MEANS A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT IT'S VERY GRATIFYING. AT THE SAME TIME. THESE ARE PEOPLE THAT I HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH. WHO HAVE BEEN REALLY HELPFUL ON MY PATH AND I'M VERY, VERY GRATEFUL TO THEM. BUT LOOK, YOU KNOW, CHRIS, HERE'S HERE'S THE THING. I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK. I WOULD MUCH RATHER PLAY YOU IN A MOVIE AND TO BE SITTING HERE ANSWERING QUESTIONS ON YOUR SHOW. AND I THINK I CAN PLAY YOU RATHER WELL. I MEAN, I HAVE TO HIT THE GYM, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY. BUT BUT I COULD JUST SEEING YOU, I CAN ALREADY GET A SENSE OF YOUR STYLE. OR LACK THEREOF. MISTER SPACEY, I APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH COMING ON AND SPEAKING CANDIDLY ABOUT THIS SITUATION. >> IT'S NOT AS EASY TO TALK ABOUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT EASY TO TALK ABOUT IT DIRECTLY TO MUCH EASY TO TALK ABOUT YOU THAT IT IS TO SPEAK WITH YOU AND I APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY. I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING WHAT THE REACTION TO THE REACTION WE'LL BE AND WE'LL BE FOLLOWING ALL ALONG. AND YOU HAVE A PLATFORM HERE FOR THE DURATION. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH, CHRIS. TH
