- 0:46Speaker 1: This is Brazil! This is Brazil! How are you, Drog? Brazil, man, Brazil.
- 0:50Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good, I'm good.
- 0:51Speaker 6: You're a legend, good.
- 0:53Speaker 1: Yes! A legend, a legend.
- 0:55Speaker 6: We're feeling very.
- 0:57Speaker 1: Good, guys.
- 0:58Speaker 7: The energy, like now, here in the room, it was
- 1:01Speaker 7: the same energy that I felt as soon as I landed.
- 1:04Speaker 1: So it's very good, brother.
- 1:05Speaker 8: What were your first experiences here in Brazil? I saw
- 1:08Speaker 8: that you always said that you always saw the posts
- 1:11Speaker 8: of Brazil, you thought it was very beautiful, but what
- 1:14Speaker 8: were your first impressions being here in this country?
- 1:19Speaker 7: Well, my first impression of Brazil, I think 15 years ago,
- 1:23Speaker 7: when I came here for the first time to talk
- 1:26Speaker 7: about Velozes e Furiosos, Velozes e Furiosos 5, and I
- 1:30Speaker 7: was here at that time, it was the first time
- 1:32Speaker 7: I really knew Brazilian culture, I was introduced to Brazilian culture,
- 1:37Speaker 7: and I was very curious and fascinated, really, coming from
- 1:41Speaker 7: the pro wrestling, wrestling, and I was very excited to
- 1:45Speaker 7: come here, I was very excited to meet other coaches,
- 1:47Speaker 7: to train in the academies and also to meet people.
- 1:51Speaker 7: When I got here, the energy, the vibe, the ocean
- 1:56Speaker 7: are very similar to Hawaii and to my Polynesian culture too.
- 2:00Speaker 7: And the food, the women, I'm married now, but.
- 2:04Speaker 6: But you're not blind.
- 2:07Speaker 1: I'm not blind, thank you.
- 2:09Speaker 6: I'm not blind. Oh, man.
- 2:38Speaker 1: I'm a big meat.
- 2:39Speaker 7: Eater, so when I came here, sorry, I was focused
- 2:42Speaker 7: on meat, but I also drank some drinks that I
- 2:45Speaker 7: had never had before, which were really good, more alcoholic drinks,
- 2:49Speaker 7: which were really good. But every time I come back
- 2:54Speaker 7: here to Brazil, the culture, the culture, which is something
- 2:58Speaker 7: that really motivates me, it's like you fall in love
- 3:02Speaker 7: all over again, because it's the same thing in Polynesia
- 3:05Speaker 7: as well. One day I want you guys to come
- 3:09Speaker 7: to Hawaii. Because when you go to Hawaii, when you
- 3:13Speaker 7: land in Hawaii, the Aloha spirit will reach you.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Yes!
- 3:16Speaker 6: Man, we hear a lot about Hawaii, especially in movies,
- 3:21Speaker 6: but it.
- 3:22Speaker 5: Ends up that there's more of the stereotype, you know,
- 3:24Speaker 5: of the hula hula, the flower cords. I wanted to
- 3:27Speaker 5: know how was your childhood in Hawaii?
- 3:29Speaker 3: How was your childhood there?
- 3:38Speaker 1: It's beautiful.
- 3:39Speaker 7: It's a beautiful place to grow up in Hawaii. Just
- 3:42Speaker 7: like for you to grow up here, it's very beautiful.
- 3:44Speaker 7: You receive a doctrine of culture there. But I feel
- 3:48Speaker 7: that the Polynesian culture, the Brazilian culture, they share values
- 3:52Speaker 7: of family, of protecting the family, of respecting the ocean,
- 3:56Speaker 7: of doing everything you can to give a better life
- 3:59Speaker 7: to your family.
- 4:00Speaker 6: And that was also one of the.
- 4:01Speaker 7: Things that I was always really curious about and fascinated
- 4:05Speaker 7: about the cultures and the Brazilian way.
- 4:08Speaker 6: When we look there, for.
- 4:09Speaker 7: Example, some of the fighters, some Brazilian fighters of success,
- 4:15Speaker 7: soccer players, they come from this place of hunger, of
- 4:19Speaker 7: the desire to really do things right, to take care
- 4:22Speaker 7: of the family, this shared value. I grew up like
- 4:26Speaker 7: that in Hawaii too. You're right, in Hawaii, when you
- 4:28Speaker 7: see it on television, you see the Mai Tais, the Aula,
- 4:32Speaker 7: a beautiful thing, really, but just like Brazil, There's the
- 4:35Speaker 7: other side of Hawaii. It's the back of where I
- 4:37Speaker 7: grew up, where it's difficult, right? When things are difficult,
- 4:41Speaker 7: you have to do everything you can to pay the
- 4:43Speaker 7: rent or take care of your family. It was so
- 4:47Speaker 7: difficult for us that we were thrown out of our house.
- 4:50Speaker 7: We had to leave Hawaii. So it's this mentality that
- 4:54Speaker 7: motivates us here. It's the same thing here in Brazil.
- 4:56Speaker 7: So that's where this something else comes from, to already follow.
- 5:03Speaker 5: The legacy of your ancestors, like wrestling and already having
- 5:06Speaker 5: so much discipline and having success, a huge success in
- 5:09Speaker 5: the fight and also already having a huge success also
- 5:13Speaker 5: walking to the NFL, is that where you had this desire?
- 5:21Speaker 1: Yes. When I was 15 years.
- 5:24Speaker 7: Old, we were living in Hawaii, I was 15 years
- 5:26Speaker 7: old and things were very difficult at that time for us.
- 5:32Speaker 7: Despite my father being a professional wrestling fighter and being
- 5:35Speaker 7: on TV, it.
- 5:36Speaker 6: Was different, people. There wasn't a lot of money.
- 5:39Speaker 5: Was it confusing for you to see your father on
- 5:41Speaker 5: TV and not have money at home?
- 5:45Speaker 1: That's a good question.
- 5:47Speaker 6: Excellent question.
- 5:48Speaker 7: It wasn't confusing for me because I was living the
- 5:51Speaker 7: reality of it.
- 5:52Speaker 6: I knew it was difficult.
- 5:53Speaker 7: Despite my father being on TV and being a famous
- 5:57Speaker 7: guy locally, we still lived in a trailer, in a
- 6:01Speaker 7: cheap place. But I think it was even more confusing
- 6:04Speaker 7: for my friends, because they would be like, but.
- 6:07Speaker 1: Wait, why do you live here, man?
- 6:08Speaker 7: Why are you taking the bus with us? Your father
- 6:10Speaker 7: isn't famous? So it was a little misleading. When I
- 6:11Speaker 7: was 15, we came home and there was a warning
- 6:13Speaker 7: on the door that said, you have five days to
- 6:15Speaker 7: pay the rent or get out. the Honolulu police department
- 6:31Speaker 7: in Hawaii will come and take you out of here.
- 6:34Speaker 7: And I remember that moment very vividly, very strong in
- 6:37Speaker 7: my head. I was 15 years old looking at my mother,
- 6:39Speaker 7: and I was already at that age, I was looking
- 6:41Speaker 7: at my mother like this from above, I was already
- 6:43Speaker 7: 15 years old looking at her, and I remember her crying,
- 6:46Speaker 7: and she broke, you know, at that moment there, and
- 6:48Speaker 7: I thought like this, man, I would do anything to
- 6:51Speaker 7: ensure that.
- 6:51Speaker 6: This never happens again in life.
- 6:53Speaker 7: And I didn't know what to do, because I was
- 6:55Speaker 7: a child, a teenager, and It was $ 180 per week
- 7:00Speaker 7: and we couldn't pay. We were expelled from the island,
- 7:03Speaker 7: we had to leave. But it's a thing that stayed
- 7:06Speaker 7: in my head. And the only thing I knew how
- 7:08Speaker 7: to do when I was 15 was to say, look,
- 7:11Speaker 7: I know.
- 7:12Speaker 6: What I can do when I'm 15. I can go
- 7:13Speaker 6: to the gym. And I can work.
- 7:15Speaker 7: And if I can improve my body and do something,
- 7:19Speaker 7: whether it's playing football, or wrestling, it's going to help
- 7:24Speaker 7: me pay the rent. It's going to help them. That's
- 7:26Speaker 7: why I need therapy. That's why you need therapy, right?
- 7:29Speaker 7: That's why I need therapy today.
- 7:31Speaker 8: But when you were 15 years old, did you already
- 7:33Speaker 8: do therapy or something like that?
- 7:34Speaker 1: No, no, no, no.
- 7:36Speaker 4: No, no, no, no.
- 7:36Speaker 8: You only had a big body, but since you were little,
- 7:39Speaker 8: you were differentiated. You saw your little friends, all little,
- 7:42Speaker 8: and you... Brutal.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Brutal already.
- 7:44Speaker 4: I was a big boy.
- 7:46Speaker 1: I was a big boy.
- 7:46Speaker 7: I was always a big boy there. But it was
- 7:48Speaker 7: kind of strange, because when I was 8, 9, 10
- 7:49Speaker 7: years old, I was already big.
- 7:57Speaker 7: But I had a very delicate face, and people thought
- 8:00Speaker 7: I was a woman, really, a big woman, a little girl.
- 8:04Speaker 1: What is that, man?
- 8:05Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, it's because I had a very delicate face,
- 8:09Speaker 7: my hair, my face, people thought I was a girl.
- 8:11Speaker 7: But I started growing up, getting bigger and bigger. And then,
- 8:15Speaker 7: you know, the gym, did you talk about therapy?
- 8:19Speaker 1: And I'm an advocate for people.
- 8:21Speaker 7: Who need therapy, really, because life is hard, people need help.
- 8:24Speaker 7: But as a man, we need to talk about it,
- 8:26Speaker 7: because men don't usually talk about these things.
- 8:30Speaker 6: We keep it inside, and it's not good.
- 8:34Speaker 1: And I grew up an only child, so I'm not
- 8:35Speaker 1: used to it.
- 8:36Speaker 7: I don't know how it is to have a brother
- 8:38Speaker 7: or sister, someone to talk to. But we have to
- 8:43Speaker 7: do that. As you said about therapy, the gym became
- 8:46Speaker 7: my therapy. And we realized this for many people, sometimes men, women, children, right?
- 8:52Speaker 7: An activity becomes therapy. And that's what it was for me.
- 8:55Speaker 5: Man, it's sensational that you talk about this, because we're
- 8:57Speaker 5: very much in this moment now. Me and the doctor,
- 9:00Speaker 5: we hit a lot on this key of talking about therapy,
- 9:02Speaker 5: because we see many problems in men because they don't
- 9:05Speaker 5: seek this type of help. And there, you bringing this
- 9:08Speaker 5: parallel of your life, we also see that in your childhood, adolescence,
- 9:11Speaker 5: you were an explosive guy, a lot because of these things,
- 9:15Speaker 5: that you should know the answers today. How do you
- 9:18Speaker 5: feel today? Because it should be confusing. At that time,
- 9:22Speaker 5: all your anger and such. Today, with everything already established,
- 9:29Speaker 5: you've done therapy.
- 9:33Speaker 1: Did that help you?
- 9:33Speaker 3: For you to know the... I don't know. The why's
- 9:36Speaker 3: of life.
- 9:36Speaker 6: Yes, the why's of your life.
- 9:37Speaker 1: Exactly, the questions.
- 9:38Speaker 6: I loved that question.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Yes. That's the thing.
- 9:40Speaker 7: We always look for the why. What are our why's?
- 9:43Speaker 7: It doesn't matter the age. We're 20, 30, 40, 50,
- 9:46Speaker 7: 60 years old or more. We're always searching for the why's.
- 9:49Speaker 7: The why's keep changing along the way. But what helped
- 9:52Speaker 7: me was recognizing that if I wake up and I
- 9:59Speaker 7: don't feel good, or I feel sad for some reason,
- 10:01Speaker 7: the sun is shining, I'm sad, it happens, the sun
- 10:04Speaker 7: is shining, it's beautiful, but I'm sad. What helped me was,
- 10:06Speaker 7: number one, it reminds me of this quote, I remember
- 10:16Speaker 7: a quote that I always say to my kids. I'm
- 10:19Speaker 7: going to ask you a question and you answer me naturally.
- 10:22Speaker 7: Do you know who's going through something right now?
- 10:25Speaker 6: Who?
- 10:25Speaker 1: Everybody. Everybody.
- 10:31Speaker 7: So, what helped me was realizing that I'm not alone.
- 10:36Speaker 7: And who also helped me was like, man, you have
- 10:37Speaker 7: to talk, right? It's okay to talk. You have to
- 10:40Speaker 7: open up. Yes, yes, you'll have, people will meet you halfway,
- 10:49Speaker 7: you know, even if they're kind of flipped, I don't
- 10:51Speaker 7: know what to do, but just, hey, I need you
- 10:53Speaker 7: to have all the answers, and you will have a
- 10:55Speaker 7: shoulder to talk about it. I think that ended up
- 10:58Speaker 7: helping me understand my why, why I wake up in
- 11:02Speaker 7: the morning, why I take my foot out of bed,
- 11:05Speaker 7: and it helped me to think that I don't have
- 11:09Speaker 7: to have all the answers, Because as we say, you
- 11:14Speaker 7: live your life and as you go through life, advancing
- 11:17Speaker 7: on the road of life, people expect you to have
- 11:20Speaker 7: the answers, that you are capable of everything, that you
- 11:22Speaker 7: are able to provide for others.
- 11:24Speaker 1: And we want to do that, actually.
- 11:26Speaker 7: But we are also humans and we don't have all
- 11:28Speaker 7: the answers. And it's okay not to have all the answers.
- 11:31Speaker 1: And look for them.
- 11:32Speaker 8: It's very cool to see you talking about this, because
- 11:34Speaker 8: we usually, in society, men have a prejudice to.
- 11:37Speaker 4: Talk about this.
- 11:38Speaker 1: So we see.
- 11:39Speaker 8: You, gigantic, talking like this... I hope that many men.
- 11:43Speaker 4: Will say, man, if this guy is saying this, it's true, right?
- 11:46Speaker 8: I'm going to do a therapy too. Because for sure
- 11:48Speaker 8: you will evolve so much. However, I also have a
- 11:51Speaker 8: fan question here, man. I wanted to know how it
- 11:55Speaker 8: was at the time in the WWE that you saw
- 11:58Speaker 8: that you were gigantic, very famous. I remember that I
- 12:02Speaker 8: played on PlayStation 1, man.
- 12:03Speaker 4: I was a kid, I played with you, your.
- 12:05Speaker 8: Shadow getting up, you taking the thing off and hitting everyone,
- 12:08Speaker 8: that for me.
- 12:10Speaker 8: It marked my childhood, then it was your movies, but
- 12:13Speaker 8: I wanted to know, in that moment of your career,
- 12:15Speaker 8: when you saw that you were being loved by many people,
- 12:20Speaker 8: that wonderful character of yours, man, that was dazzling for
- 12:24Speaker 8: us to play video games. How was it for you
- 12:26Speaker 8: to see on TV, in video games, dolls, everything, that
- 12:31Speaker 8: moment in your career?
- 12:34Speaker 1: Oh, that was.
- 12:35Speaker 7: the craziest thing for me because I started University of
- 12:40Speaker 7: Miami and then I wanted to play in the NFL
- 12:43Speaker 7: but it didn't work out for me and then I
- 12:45Speaker 7: failed at that but I started wrestling.
- 12:50Speaker 1: And then.
- 12:52Speaker 7: I was doing pretty good and then Vince McMahon at
- 12:56Speaker 7: that time who was the owner of WWE he.
- 12:59Speaker 6: Said I have an idea he goes.
- 13:05Speaker 7: And he said, I think that you could become the
- 13:08Speaker 7: WWE champion. And at the beginning, he said, you have potential,
- 13:11Speaker 7: but you need to work.
- 13:12Speaker 4: And so two, three years later, I think.
- 13:16Speaker 1: In 1998, November 1998, he said, I don't.
- 13:17Speaker 7: Know if it's going to work. But I think you
- 13:20Speaker 7: can become the WWE champion. And you can become an
- 13:37Speaker 7: excellent guy of evil, a heel.
- 13:39Speaker 5: That's what changed everything, right? That the name The Rock
- 13:41Speaker 5: came up. Because I say, the moment he became the villain,
- 13:43Speaker 5: it was the.
- 13:44Speaker 6: Like that.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Like that.
- 13:44Speaker 3: The change of key.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Like that. That was the turning point.
- 13:47Speaker 6: It was like that.
- 13:48Speaker 4: The turning point for me. You weren't afraid of, like, oh, villain,
- 13:50Speaker 4: I wanted to be the hero.
- 13:55Speaker 1: Um, no.
- 13:56Speaker 6: No. It's better to be the villain.
- 13:58Speaker 1: No, but I'll tell you why.
- 13:59Speaker 6: I started as a good guy at WWE.
- 14:00Speaker 1: When they brought me, Vince McMahon.
- 14:06Speaker 7: Said, man, when you leave, you're going to tell people,
- 14:08Speaker 7: I want you to smile, always smile.
- 14:10Speaker 6: You have to be happy to be here. I said, okay.
- 14:14Speaker 7: Even in the world of wrestling, you get excited, you're
- 14:17Speaker 7: throwing the other on the ground, suplex.
- 14:18Speaker 6: And I don't know if I want to be smiling
- 14:21Speaker 6: all the time.
- 14:21Speaker 7: But he said, you're going to have to smile for
- 14:24Speaker 7: people to know that you're grateful. And I said, my God,
- 14:27Speaker 7: is there any other way for people to realize that
- 14:30Speaker 7: I'm grateful?
- 14:31Speaker 6: Your charisma seemed like it was.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Yes, by the way, when I first started smiling, High school,
- 14:49Speaker 3: for the girls.
- 15:17Speaker 1: Hey, come on. Come on.
- 15:18Speaker 6: Let me talk to you.
- 15:20Speaker 1: Always. Yeah. It was... It was hard.
- 15:51Speaker 7: It wasn't easy, because when I started transitioning to Hollywood,
- 15:57Speaker 7: I was at the top of the WWE. And people
- 16:00Speaker 7: would ask, why are you doing this? Don't leave the WWE.
- 16:02Speaker 7: You're at the top. You're the best. You're one of
- 16:06Speaker 7: the three best in wrestling. And I said to the
- 16:09Speaker 7: WWE at the time, right? But if I could go
- 16:15Speaker 7: to Hollywood and be successful, and bringing WWE to Hollywood,
- 16:22Speaker 7: I wanted to grow, I wanted.
- 16:24Speaker 1: To bring a different world.
- 16:26Speaker 7: It was hard, but at some point I managed to
- 16:29Speaker 7: get to that point where I was really successful in Hollywood.
- 16:32Speaker 6: But it wasn't easy.
- 16:33Speaker 7: But also, for everybody listening, and you guys know this,
- 16:36Speaker 7: this is what happens when you want.
- 16:37Speaker 6: To do something new. That's what happens when you want
- 16:43Speaker 6: to do more.
- 16:43Speaker 7: There's a lot of people who are going to say,
- 16:46Speaker 7: they're going to project their insecurities on you and say, no,
- 16:50Speaker 7: you can't do this, no, do this, no, stay where
- 16:52Speaker 7: you are, man, in a comfortable place. They're going to
- 16:55Speaker 7: try to tell you this kind of thing.
- 16:58Speaker 6: And in wrestling, in anything, in.
- 16:59Speaker 7: Wrestling, I learned to block that noise and be able
- 17:02Speaker 7: to go with our instinct.
- 17:04Speaker 1: And then if you fail, then you failed trying to
- 17:12Speaker 1: It felt great.
- 17:12Speaker 6: I felt great because it was a big movie for me.
- 17:14Speaker 6: It was my first role.
- 17:15Speaker 1: And we ended up.
- 17:38Speaker 7: I also knew that I wanted a career with longevity.
- 17:42Speaker 7: It was a great opening, it was a great first movie.
- 17:46Speaker 7: But when you look back there, Scorpion Hill was good, right?
- 17:50Speaker 7: Clash of Clans Scorpion Hill was good.
- 17:52Speaker 1: It was a.
- 17:53Speaker 7: Sequence, a ten-year process that everyone goes through, you know?
- 17:58Speaker 7: It goes up, it goes down, there are ups and
- 18:00Speaker 7: downs in the career of the movies, but it worked.
- 18:02Speaker 5: I see that today you are in another career moment,
- 18:05Speaker 5: a deeper moment, and I wanted to know for you,
- 18:08Speaker 5: because you started talking about it, about your origins, your people, Polynesia,
- 18:13Speaker 5: the Pacific, and you are coming here to Brazil to
- 18:17Speaker 5: announce to everyone Moana's live action, which is a very
- 18:20Speaker 5: important film for this people, which I think until then
- 18:25Speaker 5: had no reference for children, for heroes, but Disney hasn't
- 18:30Speaker 5: done that yet. So, how important is it to do
- 18:34Speaker 5: this work for you, for your people? It must mean
- 18:36Speaker 5: so much, you know? I wanted to hear from you
- 18:38Speaker 5: how important it is to deal with this, to deal
- 18:40Speaker 5: with your culture on the screens.
- 18:44Speaker 7: Yes, so, live-action movies, live-action movies, live-action movies are everything.
- 18:49Speaker 7: And I've been saying this, because it's much more than
- 18:52Speaker 7: a movie, because it's a culture. And when I was
- 18:57Speaker 7: a kid, I didn't have representation on the screen. My heroes,
- 19:03Speaker 7: they weren't from Polynesia, there on television.
- 19:07Speaker 6: They weren't even black.
- 19:07Speaker 7: If there was a Brazilian hero, if there was a Brazilian,
- 19:13Speaker 7: there was no Brazilian, no one to look at like, oh,
- 19:16Speaker 7: I look like this person.
- 19:18Speaker 1: The skin is more black. And I know it's more
- 19:21Speaker 1: than just the color of skin.
- 19:23Speaker 6: But it is important. But it's important because.
- 19:27Speaker 7: Our Polynesian culture is being represented for the first time
- 19:32Speaker 7: on this gigantic scale.
- 19:35Speaker 6: But also, the Polynesian culture is shared.
- 19:37Speaker 7: There are values that are representing the Brazilian culture, the
- 19:41Speaker 7: Asian culture, the European culture. All of us have values
- 19:44Speaker 7: that we share. We know what it's like to want more.
- 19:49Speaker 7: You guys are surrounded by the oceans. We know what
- 19:52Speaker 7: it's like to grow up as a boy, thinking, what's
- 19:56Speaker 7: on the other side of Recife?
- 19:58Speaker 6: I want to know what's there.
- 20:00Speaker 1: So there's this shared culture.
- 20:02Speaker 6: It's very important.
- 20:04Speaker 7: And Moana in Live Action represents that, but it also represents.
- 20:08Speaker 1: It also represents family.
- 20:09Speaker 7: It also represents the loss of the people that we love.
- 20:13Speaker 7: We know when our parents, the older ones, they die.
- 20:17Speaker 1: We also know what it's like to have fun.
- 20:19Speaker 6: To have fun, right?
- 20:20Speaker 1: To have fun, to talk bullshit.
- 20:23Speaker 7: And that's what Maui does, the character that I do.
- 20:25Speaker 7: And above all that, the character of Maui was inspired
- 20:27Speaker 7: by my grandfather, the chef, Peter Malvia. When you saw
- 20:38Speaker 7: his hair, his tattoo, his body, he was a tank, really,
- 20:42Speaker 7: my grandfather. So I know that at this point in
- 20:45Speaker 7: my career, I never made a character like Maui, in
- 20:49Speaker 7: which I'm really incorporating the spirit of my grandfather, and
- 20:53Speaker 7: I think I'll never do that again in life, but
- 20:56Speaker 7: it's very important to me. That's why I wanted to
- 20:58Speaker 7: come here to Brazil. And it's been a long time
- 21:00Speaker 7: since I've seen it, actually.
- 21:02Speaker 5: And I imagine how exciting it must be for you
- 21:04Speaker 5: to record, But I want to know, because we've known
- 21:08Speaker 5: you since.
- 21:09Speaker 3: The beginning, right?
- 21:10Speaker 5: WWE, all the movies, always this strong guy and such.
- 21:15Speaker 5: Now we're seeing your new moment, but the children who
- 21:18Speaker 5: follow you for Moana, they only know.
- 21:20Speaker 3: This side of you.
- 21:21Speaker 5: And what is the beautiful part of all this? Because
- 21:24Speaker 5: you must be receiving a lot of affection. Today you
- 21:27Speaker 5: are a... He's a Disney hero, you know? People look
- 21:31Speaker 5: at him and say, my God, he's a superhero.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Look at his size.
- 21:33Speaker 5: I think it's a different kind of affection that you
- 21:36Speaker 5: must be receiving right now, you know?
- 21:40Speaker 1: It's a beautiful thing, really. It's a very good question.
- 21:44Speaker 1: I feel this love. I'll give you an example.
- 21:45Speaker 7: We were in London two or three days ago, and
- 21:47Speaker 7: there was an event with fans there, and I met
- 21:48Speaker 7: the little girls there, Menininhas, menininhas, eles me chamam de Maui.
- 21:57Speaker 4: Oi, Maui.
- 21:58Speaker 7: E aí o pai deles, é Maui. Cadê a tatuagem?
- 22:03Speaker 7: Cadê o cabelo? Cadê o cabelo? Aí eu falei, não,
- 22:09Speaker 7: tá em casa. Mesmo, é, ele é mágico. E eles ficam, nossa,
- 22:14Speaker 7: eles ficam abrindo o olho assim, arregalado, porque eles acreditam, né?
- 22:18Speaker 1: É tipo Papai Noel.
- 22:21Speaker 7: So, but the dad told me, he said, man, I
- 22:23Speaker 7: just wanted you to know, I came here to see
- 22:25Speaker 7: you as The Rock, I bought your book, I grew
- 22:28Speaker 7: up watching you, I saw WWE, and he said to me,
- 22:30Speaker 7: as a father, I love it, as soon as I
- 22:33Speaker 7: grew up with you as The Rock, and my children
- 22:36Speaker 7: can like you now as Maui. And I said, man,
- 22:44Speaker 7: that's cool, they wouldn't like me as The Rock, really.
- 22:47Speaker 7: But for you to interpret it, was it easy? What
- 22:50Speaker 7: was one of the biggest difficulties?
- 22:52Speaker 8: Because you dubbed the character in the animation and incorporate it.
- 22:56Speaker 4: For you, was it easy? What were the difficulties too?
- 22:59Speaker 8: Because now you were incorporated, literally.
- 23:04Speaker 6: It was a challenge, and I'll tell you why. I
- 23:07Speaker 6: was recording....
- 23:12Speaker 7: Before the live action movie, I made a movie called
- 23:15Speaker 7: Smashing Machine, Heart of a Fighter.
- 23:17Speaker 1: Thank you. What movie? We have to talk about Smashing Machine.
- 23:21Speaker 7: Because his career started here in Brazil.
- 23:25Speaker 6: I was filming Smashing Machine.
- 23:27Speaker 7: And I did the heavy weight of the UFC Mark Kerr,
- 23:32Speaker 7: and I had to gain a lot of weight, because
- 23:34Speaker 7: he was an animal, he was a giant, a monster.
- 23:36Speaker 7: And the challenge was, I had four weeks, from the
- 23:39Speaker 7: moment I finished, the fighter's heart to Moana's live action.
- 23:44Speaker 6: So I had to keep that high.
- 23:44Speaker 7: Weight, 280 pounds there, 170 kilos. It's very difficult to
- 23:50Speaker 7: gain that weight. It was very difficult to gain two
- 23:52Speaker 7: kilos of weight there. It gets difficult when I already
- 23:56Speaker 7: have a lot. And that was a big challenge, really,
- 23:59Speaker 7: to keep that weight there.
- 24:01Speaker 6: But I want.
- 24:02Speaker 7: To talk about Marker real quick, because it's important. We're
- 24:05Speaker 7: here in Brazil, guys, and he's one of my best friends.
- 24:07Speaker 7: And I had the honor of to make Marker News,
- 24:12Speaker 7: Machine Machine, Coração de Lutador, and that movie changed my life.
- 24:15Speaker 1: I think it was the most challenging thing.
- 24:17Speaker 3: You've ever done, right? Emotionally.
- 24:21Speaker 6: Yeah, easy, easy.
- 24:22Speaker 7: Look, at the beginning of our conversation, when we were
- 24:25Speaker 7: talking about holding things there like men, keeping things, never
- 24:30Speaker 7: talking about it, I never talked about things. And it's
- 24:34Speaker 7: one of the reasons why I realized that if you
- 24:36Speaker 7: look at my career, in the first decade, I didn't
- 24:41Speaker 7: want to make movies in which I could open up
- 24:46Speaker 7: and really explore all the problems that I've been through
- 24:52Speaker 7: in life. But in Smash Machine, I went through that.
- 24:55Speaker 6: It helped me change my life.
- 24:56Speaker 7: I'm going to talk about Mark Kerr.
- 25:00Speaker 1: He became one of the most.
- 25:01Speaker 7: Dominant heavyweights of all time at UFC. At that time,
- 25:03Speaker 7: he was the best in the world.
- 25:04Speaker 1: He never....
- 25:11Speaker 7: Had fought until a Vale Tudo tournament here in Brazil.
- 25:15Speaker 7: It was the very first time he ever fought backstage.
- 25:19Speaker 7: He was at the backstage and talked to his manager,
- 25:21Speaker 7: he said, man, I.
- 25:22Speaker 1: Don't want to, I'm not going to leave.
- 25:24Speaker 6: As you guys know, Vale Tudo is not a rule, right?
- 25:26Speaker 7: He had never fought, he had never fought, not even
- 25:29Speaker 7: on the street, nothing, he had never fought, nothing.
- 25:31Speaker 1: And then he came in and.
- 25:32Speaker 7: Fought with all those professional fighters and won the Vale
- 25:35Speaker 7: Tudo tournament And then he becomes the biggest star. It's incredible.
- 25:42Speaker 7: So when we were shooting Smash Machine, I had a
- 25:45Speaker 7: chance to meet Brazilian fighters.
- 25:46Speaker 6: Some of them were with Mark at that time. It
- 25:50Speaker 6: was really.
- 25:50Speaker 1: Beautiful to meet people.
- 25:53Speaker 7: That's why I always want to send my love to Mark,
- 25:57Speaker 7: especially here in Brazil, in relation to Vale Tudo. Because
- 26:00Speaker 7: I tell my friends, you think you're awesome, man?
- 26:04Speaker 6: You're awesome.
- 26:05Speaker 1: So it's okay. You're awesome. Imagine.
- 26:09Speaker 7: in the 90's, at the end of the 90's, you
- 26:10Speaker 7: go to Brazil and there's no rules.
- 26:11Speaker 1: No rules.
- 26:11Speaker 6: No rules. No rules.
- 26:12Speaker 1: No rules. No rules. No rules.
- 26:14Speaker 6: No rules.
- 26:14Speaker 1: No rules.
- 26:15Speaker 6: No rules.
- 26:15Speaker 1: No rules. No rules. No rules.
- 26:17Speaker 6: No rules.
- 26:17Speaker 1: No rules.
- 26:34Speaker 6: No, there's time. Just a few minutes.
- 26:35Speaker 1: Let's keep talking.
- 26:36Speaker 6: If the man is talking.
- 26:37Speaker 4: Disney, you turned around.
- 26:39Speaker 6: I'm loving this.
- 26:39Speaker 3: So, let's go back to some questions.
- 26:41Speaker 1: The Smash Machine.
- 26:42Speaker 6: Guys, I'm.
- 26:43Speaker 5: Also enjoying this, because I don't have many opportunities to
- 26:46Speaker 5: sit like this and have time.
- 26:48Speaker 6: To talk to people. My interviews are usually five minutes long.
- 26:51Speaker 7: Tell me about the movie, tell me about the character,
- 26:53Speaker 7: why do people have to watch the movie?
- 26:54Speaker 1: And that's it.
- 27:03Speaker 6: I like a conversation like this.
- 27:04Speaker 4: Sometimes there's no time to talk about a subject, in fact.
- 27:07Speaker 1: It's all very fast.
- 27:08Speaker 8: We also like this exchange, to look in the eye,
- 27:10Speaker 8: to talk. It's fast, it's fast.
- 27:11Speaker 1: It's good to have a conversation, right? It's good.
- 27:14Speaker 6: So I wanted to know, how is your schedule?
- 27:17Speaker 8: You're here, from here, what will be your next country?
- 27:21Speaker 8: How is this routine working? I imagine it must be
- 27:23Speaker 8: a very crazy routine.
- 27:27Speaker 1: It's crazy, really.
- 27:28Speaker 7: We started in Hawaii, then we went to China, Australia...
- 27:33Speaker 7: And then London, and then Brazil, and then Los Angeles,
- 27:39Speaker 7: New York, and Japan. And then that will be it.
- 27:42Speaker 7: He's still going to Japan.
- 27:43Speaker 1: Wow, sir.
- 27:44Speaker 8: What was the country that most caught your attention culturally,
- 27:48Speaker 8: that you said, oh my God, this is so different?
- 27:52Speaker 1: No, Brazil.
- 27:52Speaker 6: Brazil?
- 27:53Speaker 1: Yes. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
- 28:23Speaker 8: Here in Rio de Janeiro it matches very well with Hawaii, right?
- 28:27Speaker 1: Because the beach.
- 28:28Speaker 8: The people here have a different charisma, right? It has
- 28:31Speaker 8: a sauce. Here the people have a sauce.
- 28:34Speaker 7: Yes, because look, when I talk to all the people
- 28:37Speaker 7: here and I meet them, they are very warm, very welcoming,
- 28:40Speaker 7: they hug me, a strong hug. If you go to
- 28:46Speaker 7: another country, people are a little afraid to touch you.
- 28:50Speaker 6: Not here, come here, hug me.
- 28:51Speaker 3: That's wonderful.
- 28:52Speaker 5: I like to follow you on social media, especially your
- 28:57Speaker 5: relationship with your daughters. It's very nice to see how
- 29:00Speaker 5: much you give to the motherhood. We talked about therapy,
- 29:03Speaker 5: we talked about how men are behaving nowadays. I think
- 29:06Speaker 5: it's so beautiful because normally, I have a dream of
- 29:09Speaker 5: being a father, a doctor too, We keep imagining, in
- 29:15Speaker 5: this world of men, when we have a child, we
- 29:18Speaker 5: have to be rude, rude.
- 29:20Speaker 3: Don't respect me, or you get beaten up.
- 29:23Speaker 5: And then I see you in a way so contrary
- 29:26Speaker 5: to that, so beautiful, the way I want to follow,
- 29:28Speaker 5: that I say, like, that's it, man.
- 29:30Speaker 3: It's that way.
- 29:31Speaker 1: He's cute. He's cute. He's the father, man.
- 29:33Speaker 4: Let the girls paint him, put lipstick on him.
- 29:36Speaker 3: Man, that's really cool.
- 29:37Speaker 1: That's really cool. Well, here's the thing.
- 29:40Speaker 7: You guys are going to be great dads one day, guys.
- 29:43Speaker 7: And the fun part of that is practicing.
- 29:45Speaker 1: I'm trying.
- 29:46Speaker 3: I practice, but one day, who knows?
- 29:48Speaker 8: You have to practice a lot.
- 29:50Speaker 4: But you guys are going to be great dads one day.
- 29:52Speaker 1: But if you have girls.
- 30:00Speaker 7: You will understand then that they will teach you how
- 30:02Speaker 7: to love in another way. But also the stuff that
- 30:05Speaker 7: we went through there, like, respect me, I'll hit you.
- 30:07Speaker 7: You know, I grew up like that, in this way.
- 30:09Speaker 7: A very physical part. My parents beat me a lot, right?
- 30:11Speaker 7: Physical part.
- 30:11Speaker 6: But we know now that there are other ways.
- 30:13Speaker 1: To do it.
- 30:14Speaker 7: It's not about hitting, touching your son's hand. There's a
- 30:16Speaker 7: right way, right, that's it. And it's with care, empathy.
- 30:32Speaker 1: And that it's okay to talk, to open up.
- 30:36Speaker 7: And as boys, as men, it's okay to cry too.
- 30:40Speaker 6: Cry, cry, you know? And how can you teach them
- 30:42Speaker 6: to be good?
- 30:43Speaker 8: Because in their heads it's like, my dad is a hero.
- 30:47Speaker 8: You look, he's in the movies, he's in every place,
- 30:50Speaker 8: he's evil. It's all. How can you.
- 30:58Speaker 8: Put them on the ground and say, calm down, here
- 31:01Speaker 8: I am a father and out there I am a hero.
- 31:03Speaker 4: How does that work in their creation?
- 31:05Speaker 1: Say no.
- 31:05Speaker 8: Say no, because you can give the world to them.
- 31:12Speaker 7: Yes.
- 31:12Speaker 1: You have to teach them.
- 31:14Speaker 7: And I teach my daughters that, look, I want to
- 31:17Speaker 7: give a life for you that I never had.
- 31:19Speaker 6: For my three daughters, I say.
- 31:24Speaker 7: They're trying to finish the show here.
- 31:26Speaker 6: It's okay, guys.
- 31:27Speaker 1: It's all good. It's all good.
- 31:30Speaker 6: I promise. It's an important question.
- 31:32Speaker 7: For everybody listening out there, because they're not parents yet,
- 31:36Speaker 7: and they're going to be parents. I try to teach
- 31:38Speaker 7: my kids that my job as your father is to
- 31:42Speaker 7: give you a better life than I had.
- 31:45Speaker 6: And on the way, to allow you to fall, to talk,
- 31:47Speaker 6: to learn a lesson.
- 31:48Speaker 7: But I'll always be there with you to help and
- 31:51Speaker 7: protect you.
- 31:52Speaker 6: And also, eu não escondo meus sentimentos delas. Meu pai.
- 31:58Speaker 7: Nunca mostrou os sentimentos dele pra mim. Nunca, nunca expressou,
- 32:05Speaker 7: nunca me segurou e falou assim, cara, me dá um.
- 32:07Speaker 1: ou falar assim, eu te amo, eu te amo, de verdade.
- 32:10Speaker 7: Toda vez que eu pego minhas filhas, eu agarro elas,
- 32:12Speaker 7: abraço elas e falo pra elas, deixo elas saberem assim,
- 32:15Speaker 7: que eu tô me abrindo, se eu tô chateado, se
- 32:18Speaker 7: eu tô triste, se eu tô chorando, e a.
- 32:19Speaker 6: Gente fala disso.
- 32:21Speaker 1: E eu também....
- 32:24Speaker 7: I also told them, look, you guys are in school together, right?
- 32:28Speaker 1: There's two years of difference.
- 32:30Speaker 7: If you see girls hitting on a sister, or you
- 32:34Speaker 7: see a sister in a fight, you have my permission
- 32:39Speaker 7: and recognition to.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Go there and go hitting.
- 32:42Speaker 6: That's it, that's it.
- 32:43Speaker 1: I agree. That's the only time. That's the only thing
- 32:46Speaker 1: I say. Defend yourself. That's it.
- 32:47Speaker 6: Defend and defend your family.
- 32:48Speaker 1: That's very important. Don't worry, it's all good, okay?
- 32:56Speaker 7: You won't have problems with me if you go defend
- 32:59Speaker 7: the family.
- 33:00Speaker 1: Cool, cool.
- 33:00Speaker 5: Dude, how sensational. Mítico, if you could take... We want
- 33:05Speaker 5: an autograph of yours.

- 35:18Speaker 7: team of all time.
