00:00 Well, the wait is finally over for all the Dune Stans.
00:03 The sequel is in theaters now.
00:05 And I spoke to the star-studded cast
00:06 and got a little lesson in pronunciation, too.
00:09 So it is Timotei.
00:11 It's supposed to be, but I would never hold anyone to that.
00:14 I just want to make sure.
00:15 I don't want to be out here, like,
00:16 calling somebody the wrong name.
00:17 But if you have that respect for me,
00:19 you've got to be calling him Austine.
00:21 Austine.
00:21 That's correct.
00:22 Austine.
00:23 My guy, Austine.
00:24 Because of the dot above the eye.
00:26 The two dots.
00:27 Yeah, the two dots.
00:28 What do people call you?
00:29 Do they call you Tim?
00:30 No, Tim's the one, red zone.
00:32 OK.
00:33 You put your foot down there.
00:34 Put my foot down there.
00:35 Another mistake I made once.
00:36 Yeah.
00:37 No, I'm kidding.
00:38 We think Mr. Chalamet has earned
00:40 whatever he wants to be called, because he's
00:42 on the path to being leader of an entire planet in Dune
00:45 Part 2 in theaters now.
00:47 Standing in his way, Stellan Skarsgård, Dave Bautista,
00:51 and a nearly unrecognizable Austin Butler.
00:54 Yeah, so it's three hours in the hair and makeup chair.
00:57 And it started at about 5, because it's really meticulous.
01:01 And they attached the catholic right above my eyelids.
01:05 So you've got to be really--
01:07 you can't be a millimeter off, because you
01:09 can't open your eye.
01:10 The first time that I saw it, I didn't see myself.
01:13 And that's the greatest gift that you can have.
01:15 Yeah, licking the knife.
01:17 Was that actually in the script, or were you like,
01:19 let me just put a little sauce on it?
01:20 No, that wasn't in the script.
01:22 See?
01:22 It was Austin being Austin.
01:23 See?
01:24 That's what we did.
01:25 I mean, how long did it take to transform?
01:27 It took five people eight hours to transform
01:30 me into that fat man.
01:33 When I had a--
01:35 when I was naked, the set was full body.
01:38 Like, imagine just the simple challenges
01:40 of having to use a bathroom.
01:42 That's the question I should have asked him.
01:44 How did that happen?
01:45 We all want to know, but we're too respectful to ask.
