00:00Hi, yes, we have an emergency.
00:02Do you think you could have someone come up to help us tie a tie?
00:08Yeah, there you go.
00:09Oh, there he is.
00:10Let me assist you with your tie.
00:11Thank you so much.
00:18Yo, what's up, Vanity Fair?
00:20This is Anderson .Paak.
00:22Join me and my son, Sol, as we get ready for the world premiere of my movie, K-Pops, at the Toronto Film Fest.
00:27Come on. Take your shoes off.
00:30This is my first film, and with this film, I think they can expect a whole lot of joy, a whole lot of fun.
00:39You know, it's a heartwarming movie, amazing music, collaborations that I got to do.
00:45I'm just really so proud of it.
00:47I'm just trying to relish in the moment that we actually made it to TIFF, and I get to watch it on the screen with my fam.
00:53What's it like being directed by your dad?
00:55At first, I was kind of hesitant, but I'm glad I did this film.
01:00It's pretty easy to work with him.
01:02You can pan it over here.
01:05He started getting a little older during the shoot, and there was that one scene where he didn't want to sing.
01:10I'd actually like to expand on that.
01:12Yeah, go ahead.
01:14So, during this film, obviously, I was getting older.
01:19I was 12 when this movie, filming started.
01:23Within the span of a year and a half, I changed a lot.
01:26So, you know, costumes had to extend my pants or something.
01:33Oh, yeah, and ADR, it was hard because I had to raise my voice like four octaves.
01:39Like, one scene is super high-pitched.
01:42Why do a lot of people get the luxury of having the puberty come on camera?
01:45He's a natural.
01:46I'm not surprised, actually, because I did the whole movie with him, so I know how good he is.
01:52Surprised.
01:53And under pressure, and I'm just so proud of him.
01:56It's really cool to be able to watch it.
01:59I forget sometimes, like, wait, that's my spawn.
02:02Have you done the red carpet thing with your dad before?
02:04For Grammys, yeah.
02:06That's when you met BTS, or you wanted to meet BTS.
02:09Oh, yeah.
02:10I wanted to meet BTS, and then there was a bunch of people trying to get to them, so they were kind of stressed out.
02:16I remember that.
02:17That was pretty, because it was...
02:19I was a die-hard fan, so that was, like, a toll for me.
02:24One time, we actually all went to a BTS concert.
02:27That was an experience, right, Ted?
02:28Yeah, you got to meet them.
02:30That time, you got to actually meet them.
02:31Oh, yeah, that time.
02:32That time, I actually got to meet BTS backstage.
02:36Yeah, I mean, I knew of them just from his mom and from Seoul, like, being obsessed with them in the house.
02:42And I remember that when he couldn't get a chance to meet them, how, like, sad he was.
02:46And I was like, I'm determined to do what I can to meet them.
02:49And hopefully, they'll be able to meet him when they play again.
02:52And that was really cool to be able to see their concert.
02:55It was super dope.
02:56And then his mom was, like, fanning out so hard, too.
02:59And eventually, like, to get to do music with RM.
03:02Yeah.
03:03Yeah, that was cool.
03:04Suga.
03:05You want to FaceTime your grandma?
03:06I knew she just got out of the shower.
03:08Grandma.
03:10How are you?
03:13Today is...
03:15Happy day, happy day.
03:16Happy day.
03:17K-POPs, fighting.
03:19Yeah.
03:20See you later.
03:21This is fire.
03:24Yeah, we're both going to be in Tom Brown.
03:27Shout out to Tom Brown.
03:29I got Nate on the case, making sure I look like I got plenty of sleep.
03:33Crystal, my stylist, you know, I wanted to do something that wasn't, like, not like fashion week,
03:38but just more, like, the leading role era, actor, director era.
03:42And so I think the Tom Brown matching outfits is going to be pretty perfect.
03:47Tried to get as much sleep as I could, but it was hard to go to sleep because I'm just, like, so nervous about the premiere.
03:52Yes.
03:53It's the first time we played it for people, but I feel better being able to, like, hang out with him.
03:57And, you know, it helps calm my nerves.
04:00Israel, where's the YouTube?
04:03Pull it up.
04:04Pull it up, bro.
04:05Pull it up, bro.
04:06We're trying to tie a tie.
04:09There's only, like, a small percentage of people in the world that know how to do it.
04:12So we go to YouTube.
04:15From behind.
04:16Thread it all the way through.
04:18Thread it through the back.
04:19Like this.
04:23I'm going to take the wire.
04:25Let's cut the cameras for a sec.
04:27Hi, yes, we have an emergency.
04:29Do you think you could have someone come up to help us tie a tie?
04:34Yes.
04:36Send in the reinforcements.
04:37Thank you so much.
04:38ASAP.
04:39You have to be a complete buffoon.
04:41A complete buffoon to not be able to do this.
04:43This is what we call an idiot's knot.
04:55Sensual.
04:58A little Tom Ford Black Orchid.
04:59You just don't give that secret away.
05:02You know, I don't want anybody else smelling like me.
05:05I shower in this.
05:06I bleed this.
05:14This is a piece given to me by Bruno Mars himself.
05:17Silk Sonic, one of my bands.
05:19I like to call it swap meet chic.
05:21I don't have too many jewelry pieces, so I usually sleep in them and just wear them every day.
05:25Another piece right here from If and Co.
05:29This is a two-parter, okay?
05:31That's one.
05:33And that's two.
05:37There you go.
05:38Oh, there he is.
05:39Let me assist you with your tie.
05:40Thank you so much.
05:41I don't know how to do it on yourself.
05:42I'll do it first on myself.
05:44Your way.
05:45My head is pretty big, so give yourselves...
05:48Oh, yes.
05:49I do this on the train sometimes.
05:50Right, right.
05:51Nice.
05:53Wow.
05:55That's slick.
05:59Would you mind?
06:00Yep.
06:03Jesus Christ.
06:04I got my movie premiered today.
06:06Oh.
06:07Yeah.
06:08Good luck.
06:09This is my co-star.
06:10Break a leg.
06:12I think that's perfect.
06:14I'm straight to carpet, son.
06:16It's now or never.
06:18I can't hide this movie any longer.
