HOW ARE YOU?

>> Stephen: NICE TO SEE YOU BACK.

>> YOU, TOO.

>> Stephen: HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?

GOOD.

JUST DOING PRETTY WELL.

>> Stephen: YOU'VE HAD A BIG MILESTONE.

CONGRATULATIONS ARE IN ORDER BECAUSE -- AND I THINK I'VE GOT

THE ACTUAL INVITATION HERE -- YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED TO BE A

MEMBER OF THE OSCAR ACADEMY.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: WHAT'S THE OFFICIAL NAME?

>> THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES AND ARTS.

>> Stephen: YEAH, THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURES AND ARTS, AND

YOU GOT THIS LOVELY INVITATION HERE THAT SAYS, HELLO, GORGEOUS,

YOU HAVE BEEN INVITED.

SO WHAT'S THIS MEAN?

YOU GET A BADGE?

PULL PEOPLE OVER FOR BAD ACTING, WHAT IS IT?

>> YEAH, I GET A BADGE.

I GET TO VOTE.

>> Stephen: ARE YOU THE YOUNGEST VOTER?

YOU'RE 21.

>> I'M 21.

>> Stephen: ARE YOU THE YOUNGEST VOTER?

>> Stephen: I DON'T KNOW.

>> Stephen: TIMOTHY SHALLEN GOT IT, TOO.

>> HE'S GOT YEARS ON ME.

ESHED BE APPLYING UNDEREYE CREAM.

>> Stephen: WITHOUT A DOUBT.

A LITTLE BIT OF SOMETHING.

>> Stephen: WELL, ACTING, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT, IS PRETTY CLOSE

TO LYING.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: AND I WAS AN ACTOR WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.

I WENT TO NORTHWESTERN'S PRESTIGIOUS LYING SCHOOL THERE.

>> IT'S THE BEST.

>> Stephen: ONE TO HAVE THE BEST OF THE LYING SCHOOLS.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO LIE TO GET A PART?

I WAS TAUGHT TO SAY WHATEVER THE PART REQUIRES, JUST SAY YOU CAN

DO THAT.

>> YES, WELL, ACTUALLY, I LIED TO MARTIN SCORSESE FOR "HUGO,"

AND I TOLD HIM, IN HUGO, I'M SUPPOSED TO HAVE A BRITISH AC

SENT AND BE BRITISH.

SO I WENT IN THERE, YOU KNOW, JUST READY FOR IT, AND I LIED

AND SAID -- >> Stephen: WAIT, HAD YOU TONE

A BRITISH ACCENT BEFORE?

>> I HADN'T DONE A BRITISH ACCENT BEFORE, BUT I ALWAYS

ENJOYED ACCENTS SO I PLAYED A ROUND WITH MY BROTHER AND WE

ALWAYS PRETENDED TO BE BRITISH.

BUT I HAD A SOLID EAR, SO I'M OKAY WITH FAKING IT.

I WENT INTO THE AUDITION AND THE CASTING DIRECTOR KNEW I WASN'T

BRITISH BUT KNEW I LIED AND SHE LIKED ME.

SHE SAID, LIE TO MARTY AND IT WILL WORK.

>> Stephen: SHE TOLD YOU TO LIE TO MARTIN SCORSESE?

>> I ALREADY LIED ON MY SELF-TAPE AND I LIED TO HER AND

SHE MEW THE TRUTH AND SHE SAID KEEP LYING.

I SAID, OH, HELLO, MARTIN, I'M CHLOEY, HOW ARE YOU?

HE SAID, HI, HO WHERE ARE YOU FR I SAID, CAMBRIDGE SHIRE.

HE SAID, OH, I'VE NEVER BEEN THERE.

I SAID, YES, MY PARENTS WERE HORSE BREEDERS AND -- AS I SAID

THAT, I REALIZED I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HORSES, AND THANK

GOD I GOT MYSELF OUT OF THIS TRICKY SITCH, AND I ENDED UP

BOOKING THE PART AND IT WASN'T TILL MUCH LATER IN THE

PRODUCTION HE REALIZED I WASN'T BRITISH.

>> WHAT GAVE THE JIG UP?

I WAS SPEAKING USUALLY IN A BRITISH ACCENT THROUGHOUT THE

MOVIE, AND THEN I STOPPED AND I TALKED ABOUT BEING FROM GEORGIA.

( LAUGHTER ) AND MY BROTHER AND MOTHER WERE

VERY AMERICAN.

AND I THINK MY MOM'S SOUTHERN ACCENT KIND OF GAVE THE WHOLE

HORSE BREEDING AWAY.

>> Stephen: HOW DID HE TAKE IT?

>> HE LAUGHED.

HE WAS, LIKE, GOOD ON YA.

GOOD ONE.

I THINK HE TOLD ME SOME STORY ABOUT A YOUNG ACTRESS WHO MIGHT

HAVE LIED TO HIM AT SOME POINT IN TIME.

>> Stephen: SO TWO ACTRESSES HAVE LIED.

>> IT'S ME AND ONE OTHER WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED.

>> Stephen: THE NEW FILM IS CALLED THE MISEDUCATION OF

CAMERON POST- >> YEAH.

>> Stephen: WHAT IS THE MISEDUCATION?

>> SO, BASICALLY, THE STORY FOCUSES AROUND A YOUNG GIRL WHO

GETS CAUGHT HOOK UP WITH HER BEST FRND IN THE BACK OF HER

BOYFRIEND'S CAR.

>> Stephen: TWO GIRLS.

YES, TWO GIRLS.

SHE GETS CAUGHT IN THE BACK OF HER BOYFRIEND'S CAR ON PROM

NIGHT.

HER AUNT CONSULTED THE CHURCH AND DECIDED TO SEND MY CHARACTER

CAMERON AWAY TO CONVERSION THERAPY CAMP.

AND CONVERSION THERAPY IS BASICALLY WHERE THEY SEND KIDS

TO PRAY THE GAY AWAY, AND THEY USE DIFFERENT FORMS OF

PSYCHOTHERAPY AND MANIPULATION TO KIND OF CONDITION KIDS TO

HATE THEMSELVES IN A LOT OF WAYS.

>> Stephen: AND AVERSION THERAPY, TOO.

>> YES.

>> Stephen: AND MANY STATES HAVE OUTLAWED THIS.

>> YES, CURRENTLY 14 STATES AND LAST TWO WEEKS AGO IT WAS

DELAWARE.

THE MOVIE IS SET IN 1993.

AT LEAST FOR ME, I WAS TAKEN BACK BY THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE

SURVIVORS I MET WERE IN THEIR MID 20s, THEY WERE PUT IN WHEN

THEY WERE 15 OR 16 AND HAD BEEN THERE FOR AT LEAST FIVE OR SIX

YEARS.

SO SEEING PEOPLE MY AGE THAT HAD GONE THROUGH IT AND PLACES LIKE

IN MANHATTAN, THERE HAVE BEEN MORE CONVERSION THERAPY CENTERS

IN MANHATTAN.

>> Stephen: SO IT'S NOT ILLEGAL IN NEW YORK?

>> MANHATTAN HAS VOTED ON IT BUT ALBANY HASN'T.

>> Stephen: SOME DESCRIBE IT AS A FORM OF TORTURE.

>> YES, 100%.

IT RANGES.

IN MY MOVIE WE FOCUS ON THE INSIDIOUS QUIET FORM OF

MANIPULATION THEY DO WHICH YOU SAW IN CANNIBALISM SCENE.

DESIREE WHO ALSO WROTE THE MOVIE HEARD THE CAN BALLIST STORY OF

ONE OF THE SURVIVORS AND PUT THIS INTO OUR SCRIPT BECAUSE TO

US WE WERE SO TAKEN ABACK AND SHOCKED AT THE REALITY OF THAT

KIND OF MANIPULATION THAT THE ONLY REASON YOU WOULD BE

ATTRACTED TO SOMEONE OF THE SAME SEX IS YOU WANT TO INGEST WHAT,

YOU KNOW, THEIR ATTRIBUTES THAT YOU DON'T HAVE WITHIN YOURSELF.

>> Stephen: WELL, LOVELY TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

>> YEAH.

>> Stephen: I MEAN, IT'S HARD TO END ON THAT NOTE, BUT, UM --

>> I KNOW.

>> Stephen: IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT THIS IS

LIKE.

>> IT IS.

WELL, ON THE UPSIDE, I WILL SAY THIS MOVIE IS VERY HEAVY, BUT IT

DEALS AND FOCUSES ON THE INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS OF

GAY KIDS MEETING THE COMEDIC AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL AND TEND AROUND

SWEET AND YOU WILL CRY BUT IT'S NOT LIKE TAKING A MEDICATION OR

PRESCRIPTION.

YOU REALLY WILL HAVE FUN, I PROMISE.

>> Stephen: I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

SO NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

"THE MISEDUCATION OF CAMERON POST" IS IN THEATERS TOMORROW!

CHLOE GRACE MORETZ, EVERYBODY!

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH BOB GOLDTHWAIT!
