SAW JENNIFER LAWRENCE WHEN SHE WAS ON THE SHOW WITH YOU. >> Stephen: SURE, SURE, SURE. WE DRANK A LOT OF RUM. >> YES. SO I GOT NERVOUS AND THOUGHT
THAT MAYBE WE WOULD DRINK TODAY, SO I ORDERED A LOT OF ROOM
SERVICE TO PREPARE MYSELF SO WOULDN'T BE A CHEAP DATE. >> Stephen: WOULD YOU-- WOULD
YOU-- WE HAVE A BAR BACK HERE, WOULD YOU LIKE SOMETHING? WOULD YOU LIKE SOME TEQUILA? >> YES, I WOULD NEVER SAY NO TO
TEQUILA. WOOO! I AM EXCITED AND VERY NERVOUS. THIS IS GOING TO GET-- THOSE ARE
BIG SHOT GLASSES. OH, MY GOODNESS. >> Stephen: SO YOU WERE--
WHILE I'M POURING THIS-- YOU WERE BORN IN BULGARIA AS I
UNDERSTAND. >> ACCURATE, YES. >> Stephen: THAT'S WHAT WE AIM

>> ALL RIGHT! FEELING GOOD. >> Stephen: THERE WE GO. THEN YOU MOVED TO CANADA. >> YES. >> Stephen: FROM BULGARIA. >> YES. >> Stephen: DO YOU GET TIRED
OF THE STEREOTYPE THAT CANADIANS ARE NICE? ARE THEY ACTUALLY NICE, OR DO WE
JUST NOT TELL-- WE CAN'T TELL HOW THEY'RE BEING RUDE. >> OKAY NO I THINK IT IS A
STEREOTYPE FOR A REASON. I GET TOLD THAT I'M VERY NICE,
AND I DO HAVE-- I'VE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE. I RECENTLY WENT TO MONTREAL TO
VISIT MY BROTHER, FOR EXAMPLE, AND WE PLAYED THIS GAME AT THE
BAR-- I GUESS I HAVE A DRINKING THEME. MAYBE I'M AN ALCOHOLIC. I DON'T KNOW-- YEAH, HERE WE GO,
LOAD THEM UP. SO WE WERE AT THE BAR AND
PLAYING THIS GAME WE INVENTED CALLED, "ROCK, PAPER, DARE." ESSENTIALLY, YOU DARE THE OTHER
PERSON TO DO SOMETHING, AND IN THIS CASE A BACHELORETTE PARTY
WAS THERE, THE GIRLS HAD A TRAY OF 12 DRINKS, AND MY BROTHER
DARED ME TO GRAB ONE OF THE DRINKS FROM THE TRAY. I LOST, I HAD TO GO UP TO THESE
STRANGERS, TOOK THE SHOTS -- >> Stephen: YOU STOLE THEIR
SHOTS. >> I STOLE THEIR SHOTS. AND I SAID, "I'M SOR SORRY, IT'S
A DARE." AND THEY LOOKED AT ME, "NO,
WE'RE SORRY. PLEASE, TAKE IT." AND I WAS LIKE, "WAIT, WHY ARE
YOU APOLOGIZING, I STOLE FROM YOU." AND WE KEPT GOING BACK AND
FORTH, "I'M SORRY." "NO, I'M SORRY." >> Stephen: I HOPE NOBODY
INVADES CANADA BECAUSE THE ARMY WILL JUST SURRENDER OUT OF
GRACIOUSNESS. >> Stephen: CHEERS. >> ARE WE SIPPING OR SHOTTING. >> Stephen: SHOTTING. ONE, TWO, THREE, GO. >> OH, THAT WAS MEAN! I'M SORRY. >> Stephen: OH, NO--<i>
( LAUGHTER )</i> I WAS-- I WAS WAITING. I WAS WAITING. DO YOU NEED A LIME OR ANYTHING? NEED A LIME? >> I'LL TAKE IT, YEAH, YEAH. >> Stephen: I HAVE FREQUENTLY
ACCUSED ACTORS-- AND I WAS ONE MYSELF AT ONE POINT-- ACTORS ARE
VERY CLOSE TO LIARS. THEY KIND OF PROFESSIONALLY LIE
WITH EMOTIONAL INTEGRITY. >> YES. >> Stephen: HAVE YOU EVER USED
YOUR SUPERPOWER AS AN ACTRESS FOR EVIL. >> I'VE NEVER HEARD IT CALLED A
SUPERPOWER, BUT I WILL TAKE TBECAUSE I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE A
SUPERHERO. YESSS... >> Stephen: WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE? HOW HAVE YOU USED YOUR ACTING--
HOW HAVE YOU USED YOUR ACTING FOR BAD? >> I HOPE THIS DOESN'T GET ME IN
TROUBLE. SO I DON'T THINK HE KNOWS THIS
BUT I DID A MOVIE WITH SAM JACKSON --
>> Stephen: HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU DID THE MOVIE WITH HIM? >> NOW, HE DOES. BUT BEFORE WE HAD DONE THE FILM
TOGETHER HE WAS SHOOTING A FILM IN ATLANTA AND I WAS ON "VAMPIRE
DIARIES," AND A FRIEND WHO KNOWS HIM INVITED HIM TO DINNER, AND I
HAD SOME FRIENDS IN TOWN. AND I HAD PROMISED, BECAUSE I
WAS THE QUEEN OF ATLANTA-- EVERYONE SAID I KNEW THE CITY
BEST, THAT I WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE RESERVATION AND TAKE THEM TO
THE NICEST RESTAURANT IN TOWN. CUT TO, I HAD MY ASSISTANT CALL,
AND HE DROPPED MY NAME, AND MY NAME DIDN'T MATTER. THEY WERE LIKE, "WE DON'T REALLY
CARE. THE RESTAURANT IS BUSY. WE CAN'T TAKE YOU." AND I SAID, "OH, (BLEEP), I
ALREADY PROMISED THIS"-- OH, AM I ALLOWED TO SWEAR? WELL, I DID, SO THERE IT IS. SO I HAD MY ASSISTANT CALL
AGAIN, SAME VOICE, BUT SAY THAT HE WAS SAM'S ASSISTANT --
>> Stephen: OH, "I'M CALLING FOR SAMUEL JACKSON." >> YES, AND THEY NOT ONLY GOT US
A TABLE FOR EIGHT, BUT THEY GOT IT ON THE INSIDE PLUS THEY GOT
US A TABLE FOR EIGHT IN A PRIVATE ROOM JUST IN CASE SAM
DIDN'T WANT TO BE IN THE MAIN ROOM. <i>( LAUGHTER )
CUT TO WE GET TO THE RESTAURANT,</i> AND NOW WE HAVE TWO TABLES, AND
WE THOUGHT MAYBE HE WOULD COME, BUT AS THE DINNER WENT ON, LIKE,
HE WASN'T COMING. AND THEY WERE LIKE OH, COOL. THE WAITERS WERE ALL EXCITED TO. "I CAN'T WAIT TO MEANTIME SAM." AND IT WAS JUST ME AND A COUPLE
OF OTHER KIDS. AND AS THE MEAL WENT ON THEY
KEPT COMING AROUND. AND THEY WERE LIKE, "IS HE
COMING?" I SAID, "YEAH, FIVE MINUTES, 10
MINUTES AWAY, ON HIS WAY." 30 MINUTES GO BY, THEY KEEP CIRC
HING, AND BY THE END OF IT, I MADE UP A LIE AND I WAS LIKE,
"OH, SAM JUST CALLED. ACTUALLY"-- AT THE TIME OBAMA
WAS PRESIDENT. "OBAMA ASKED HIM TO COME TO THE
WHITE HOUSE. SO HE GOT ON THE JET. SAM CAN'T MAKE IT." >> Stephen: THAT'S A BIG LIE. IF YOU'RE GOING TO LIE, LIE BIG. >> YOU CAN'T GET MAD. IF OBAMA CALLS YOU GO. >> Stephen: THE NEW FILM IS
CALLED "DOG DAYS." YOU HAVE A LOT OF CANINE COSTARS
ON THIS. WHAT DOES THE SET SMELL LIKE? IS IT THE WORST-SMELLING SET YOU
HAVE BEEN ON OR WAS IT THE BEST? >> I LIKE PUPPY BREATH, SO I
DIDN'T MIND IT. ALSO, I WILL TAKE A FOUR-LEGGED
COSTAR OVER A TWO-LEGGED COSTAR ANY DAY. >> Stephen: REALLY? >> YEAH. >> Stephen: REALLY. THEY'RE MORE RELIABLE? >> THEY'RE MORE RELIABLE,
THEY'RE CUTER, THEY'RE FUZZIER, THEY CUDDLE MORE, AND THEY DON'T
TALK BACK. >> Stephen: BUT COULD YOU GET
THEM A RESERVATION? >> FROM MY PAST EXPERIENCE, I
THINK SO, NECESSARY. >> Stephen: NINA, LOVELY TO
MEET YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE. "DOG DAYS" IS IN THEATERS NOW. NINA DOBREV, EVERYBODY! WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
COMEDIAN MICHAEL PALASCAK.
