00:00I've been knocked out three times, got an arm broken.

00:03Oh, God.

00:04Broke ribs twice, two ribs one time,

00:06three ribs another time.

00:07Broke a tailbone.

00:08Walmart.

00:09Broke two toes and a finger.

00:12This finger.

00:13Ow!

00:14Whoa.

00:15What about you?

00:15Torn meniscus, separated shoulder,

00:18ego bruise quite a few times.

00:20Banged up.

00:21So we've both filmed a lot of intense action

00:23scenes in our careers, including in our new film, The You.

00:26Here is our action movie, Matt.

00:30Well, I've learned jujitsu, some Muay Thai, kickboxing,

00:34taekwondo.

00:35I learned how to shoot.

00:36I learned capoeira for Catwoman.

00:38I learned crochet and ballet for the other guys.

00:42And tango dancing was, oh, the worst.

00:44I played a free diver.

00:46I had to hold my breath for almost two and a half minutes.

00:48And that felt like eternity.

00:50It felt like death was ending.

00:51Did you train for that?

00:52I did.

00:53I think the last shot of Perfect Storm,

00:55we were in the tank, and we had the waves.

00:57There was guys underneath the water holding my feet

00:59to hold me in position, and they

01:00didn't know where I was in relation to the waves.

01:02So I'm sucking in water, and it's

01:04going up all over my head.

01:05And I'm just trying to stay there in line

01:07to make sure I got the tear in the eye.

01:08That was not fun.

01:09I didn't get a tear in my eye.

01:10I think I just took some water and splashed it on my face,

01:13and it's all running down.

01:14Oh, god.

01:15My Storm X-Men days, long time.

01:17Storm was always in the sky on a wire.

01:20A long time.

01:21Yeah.

01:22So one time, actually, it felt like the guy

01:24had gone to lunch.

01:26That's how long I was up there.

01:27And I was like, hello, hello, anybody?

01:30Yeah, if I see a harness, I'm in a miserable mood.

01:33But I've seen people like, oh, my god, this is so cool.

01:35We got the flag.

01:36I'm like, bro.

01:37Oh, I did a crazy rooftop jump on the big hit.

01:40I remember Kirk Wong, the director.

01:42And then we just go on the roof and just jump.

01:43And I'm like, what?

01:45It's like, whoa.

01:46But I like jumping off of things into water.

01:49Free falling is better.

01:50Jump, you know, 50, 60 feet into water.

01:52As long as you can break the water and wear some shoes,

01:54you're good to go.

01:55I have never jumped off anything.

01:57But I almost got knocked off something.

02:00On Catwoman, you know, the swinging lights,

02:02I got the cue mixed up with the lighting guy.

02:05It's still a mystery who got it wrong.

02:06But I say he did.

02:08And he swung his light when I went to walk.

02:10And his light swung and hit me and knocked me down.

02:14And had I fallen, I would have fallen like 60 feet.

02:17And I wasn't on a wire.

02:17There were no mats underneath it.

02:19It was the dumbest movie-making moment of all time.

02:21My answer ran.

02:22Yours was like seven days a week.

02:23No.

02:24You know what it used to be?

02:25And then that I wasn't getting anywhere.

02:27I was, like, getting hurt.

02:28So now it's five days a week, two days off, hour max a day.

02:32I refuse to do more than, like, 30 minutes.

02:34But I do five days a week.

02:35She doesn't have to.

02:36Oh, I do.

02:37Don't make everybody feel bad.

02:38I do.

02:39Oh, I can't play any music because I'll

02:41wake up the whole house.

02:42Not the go-to is Adele, for sure.

02:45Adele?

02:46I've just started listening to this one album,

02:4821, when I was traveling.

02:49Somebody downloaded it on my phone.

02:51It was the only album I had on my phone.

02:52And I don't like to fly.

02:53So any time I would fly or I was away from home,

02:56I would play it to go to bed.

02:58And it became my, like, my thing.

02:59I want to play for an Adele guy.

03:01I mean, that is what it is.

03:03So hey, get into the action with us.

03:05Watch The Union.

03:06Only on Netflix.
