No, they didn't know you were here. They're very happy to see you. All right. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE] Oh, man. They've had a very good day. Is your eye OK? You look like you're itching your eye. You're fine? No, I am. I was in France working on a movie, so I'm just jet-lagged. So I don't know where I am. This kind of feels like a dream. Well, you're in my home. These are my friends and family. It's crazy that you have them in your living room. [CHEERS, APPLAUSE] That was the deal this season. I always heard your house was big. Yes, this is the foyer. [LAUGHTER] What are you doing in France? How long have you been there? How much longer will you be there? I'm done there, which is great, because I was-- I have this two-week rule with my kids and Lucy. What does that mean? Those are my kids and Lucy. Oh, they're bundled-- your kids and Lucy. This is how I see them. I see. [LAUGHING] A little glass-- They're just a little-- --container. --I keep them in a menagerie that's-- [CHUCKLES] So sweet. Yeah, so-- but on this one, we violated our two-week rule for the first time. How long were you in France, then? Well, I was there for a few months. They were there at the beginning, for the first month. And then they came back, because they had to start school. And then they came for a visit in the middle, but it still was three and a half weeks on each side, which just got-- it was very-- I didn't like it. No. Do you speak French? No. No. I said that in French, by the way. [CHUCKLES] No. No. But it was kind of French, like no. No, because I had attitude. I know, because you moved your shoulder. I pictured you in a beret and maybe a mustache. No. Are you growing a mustache, or are you-- what's happening there? [LAUGHTER] I just literally was back there-- because I all I did for promotion today was some podcasts, and I had the weekend and I was at home, and I was like, I forgot to shave. Oh, this is just one day of not shaving? No, the weekend. So manly. Well, not really. I mean, this is-- if you gave me a week, it would look probably about the same. Oh, really? [LAUGHS] Those Northern European Swedish and Finnish genes. Is that what you are? Part-- yeah. Have you done the testing of the-- My brother did. Yeah, my brother did, and everything pointed kind of to Finland, so that's where our people are from. Did you know that? I knew that my mother's father was 100% Finnish. I thought my mother's mother was 100% Swedish, but she's Swedish and Finnish. And then my dad was-- Never mind. This is boring. [LAUGHTER] This is all going to get cut out. Yeah, I thought, what am I asking for? I don't care. [LAUGHTER] Have you done 23andMe? [CHUCKLES] I want to know everything about where you're from. People did do it for me. I didn't ask, but I'm related to some fancy people. Really? Yeah, like a king or something. Yeah. A king? Any-- A really important one. [LAUGHTER] That's fantastic. I forget. Somebody-- but it was-- anyway, I want to know about-- you spend a lot of time with the Hemsworth boy in Australia, Chris? Yeah. Yeah. And he says that you're extremely bad luck, because every-- first of all, Australia-- everything there can kill you. We know that. But he said he's lived there forever and nothing's ever happened until you're there. Maybe he has really good luck. I don't know. (AUSSIE ACCENT) Mate, I can't believe this happened to you, mate. I'm like-- I stepped on a snake the last time I was there. A huge python. Yeah, like an 8-foot python. And I was getting out of a car. That's how many things in Australia are crazy. I was getting out of a car in a neighborhood that was bordering a little area with trees going down to the beach. And we were going to the beach. We were going to hike down this little trail. And I got out of the car, and I stepped on something that felt like a giant piece of wood. And I looked down, and it was a snake that big. And what did it do when you stepped on it? It didn't even really notice that I was on it. [LAUGHTER] I jumped off of it in my flip-flops, and it just kind of kept going. I wouldn't be wearing flip-flops if I were you. Well, I was going to the beach. I mean-- I know, but it's Australia. It's true. You should wear full armor at all times. Yeah-- [LAUGHTER] --that's what I'm saying. Who was the one that the jellyfish-- was it your daughter-- My daughter Stella, yeah-- --that got stung by a jellyfish? --by a jellyfish. Yeah. And then that's also horrible. And someone-- did they have to pee on her? No, it was interesting, because I'd always heard that. I'd been stung by a jellyfish once in Hawaii, and I was on a-- we were fishing for the day with some friends of mine who were all like, I'll pee on you. [LAUGHTER] But it turns out that's actually just something that somebody made up because they thought it was funny. And it's actually-- what you're supposed to do is put somebody in a really hot bath and get a sponge and gently move the little-- because there's these tiny little needles that are in you know when one of them stings you. So you brush them out. Brush them out. Yeah. OK, so nobody needs to pee on anybody if you get stung. This is a very important show to be watching today. Or just stay In America and you'll be fine. No, of all shows to watch, this is the one today to learn something. It's a safety show we're doing. It's a very special Ellen. And we find out the Finnish qualities of yourself and-- That's getting cut out, by the way. I'm sure you'll get that-- Now I've decided I'm going to keep it. [LAUGHTER] I've decided that's the most important part. [CHUCKLES] I'm just going to only keep that so they're like, god, he doesn't really have good stories, does he? [LAUGHTER] That guy is about as boring as they come. I thought he would have better stories. He managed to do a bad interview on Ellen. Like, who does that? Yeah. So but you went camping there with them, right? And did anything else bad happen? No, it was great. We went to Western Australia, which is really desolate and beautiful. You're kind of in a desert kind of going right up to the ocean. And no, it was great. We had to pack all our food and water-- What's that? That's not-- Oh, that's one of the tents. So it's glamping. There's a wood floor because-- To dance, you can dance. --so you can dance in there. Well, there's a bunch of beds. We were in there with all the kids, but it was amazing. But you spend a lot of time there. You spend-- look at all the children. What is-- That was at a place called Double Island. Who are those people? Are they family? We bumped into these people there. I swear, this is true. And a lot of them were former surfers from the surf tour. And they were on a reunion trip, and we just bumped into them. Well, that looks beautiful. And what lucky people to run into you and Chris. Well, you haven't seen me surf. I was the entertainment. Oh. [LAUGHTER] Again, what lucky people. Yeah. [CHUCKLES] Yeah. All right, we'll take a break. More with Matt after this.
