6:00 pm
♪ pressure pushing down on me pushing down on you ♪ ♪ under pressure >> that's a good song. queen and david bowie's under pressure, one song that will never be called cheesy on the ridiculist. piers morgan live starts now. this is "piers morgan live." does this sound right to you? a law that would allow businesses to discriminate against you if you are gay. one day after the nba makes history with the first athlete in the team sport to say, yeah, i'm gay. my visit with the real life character from the wolf of wall street who says the movie has damaged his character.
6:01 pm
i ask him one of my favorite questions. >> i've fallen in getting quite steamed up about what is happening in arizona, also happening in uganda. and the common theme being an apparent attempt to use religion to basically attack gay people. >> that's the antithesis of religion. religion is about love and respecting others and respecting your fellow man, and do unto others as they would do unto you. we look at the basic route of
6:02 pm
all religion in the world is treat others as you would expect to treat yourself. how can you stand under a veil of god, a veil of love and propagate such hate. >> look at what happened right now in uganda. where president mussolini said the president, home mow sexuals are disgusting, why should he force his beliefs on to uganda, and so an and so on. outrage from most americans about this. right here in arizona is an attempt by lawmakers to do something that is not dissimilar. to empower businesses to say, if you're gay, i'm legally entitled to discriminate against you. >> season the it insane to say earlier today, you just walked around the streets of new york, and listened to people who heard that press conference in uganda. people were disgusted. whether we like it or not, i say
6:03 pm
it this way, those people in most of the businesses in arizona, and at least what i'm hearing from people now, and you hear the word on the internet, is that most people don't support this bill. the gentleman that was on earlier -- >> one of the most bigoted, stupid people who has ever held any form of public office in the world. >> he's getting ready to run for governor. so what are you going to have happen if he gets elected. some of the questions were very pert fan the. because if i can say my religion -- my religious beliefs tell me that i don't like people with strange accents, you know what i mean, because you might be speaking in tongues. >> it might be quite popular. >> you could be speaking in tongues, and -- >> any form of discrimination? >> gives me a right to do so under the veil of religion, i think is wrong. >> we're going to talk about 12 years a slave. the link here, i guess, is that religion used to be used a lot
6:04 pm
to try to justify slavery, didn't it? >> are we getting ready to go back to that right now? we're going to use religion to justify -- you enslave them with chains or enslave them by not allowing them to have the rights of this planet? let's go back to that old cane and abel story, they have the mark of the devil. brown people, i'm not supposed to like that. we as a nation aren't outraged? where is the rest of american citizen citizenry. >> get angry, it is offensive, and it's happening right here in america. let's watch a clip now from "12 years a slave." >> come here. >> master. master -- >> i got it. >> to me, this brought into vivid perspective slavery in a
6:05 pm
way i haven't seen over any issue, since schindler's list did with the holocaust. this happened. i want to play another clip. this is the young girl up for best supporting actress. listen to what she said to me on this show about the subject. >> i think this is a part in history many of us take for granted. i studied slavery in school, i never considered it on an emotional level. and i know many people have expressed that, 12 years a slave kind of offers an opportunity to understand this time in history from an emotional level. >> i completely agree, i learned a lot about watching that movie. the history, the context, the reality, the emotions. >> this is really -- it wasn't my plan, steve mcqueen, even penguin who released the books had already been working on a curriculum. >> in between the 12 years a
6:06 pm
slave director? >> yes. i was involved 23 years ago to get this distributed in high schools across the cunning the. i said, let me give it a try. i got together with fox search light and the last two and a half months, did something that we thought was unprecedented.national school board has agreed to distribute this national motion picture plus a book to every high school across the country. >> brillian the. >> it's going to be brillian the. in a way, i'm not knocking -- i saw gravity, i thought it was one of the best movies i have ever seen. 22 years from now, children don't need to see that movie in the high school library. this is a movie they need to see. >> three 19-year-old white male freshmen are being expelled from their fraternity. they hung a noose and confederate themed flag over the
6:07 pm
statue of a black civil rights icon, james meredith. i mean, when you see something like that, it just makes your heart sink, doesn't it? >> it does. but i'm heartened by the fact that that school rallied by behind all the students. they wanted that hate removed. if you go back ten years. ten years ago, there were 60 incidents. we are making some changes. there are some things that are happening in this world and this country that we don't actually report enough about. i wish more people would step up to the plate. a voice like the students did. enough hate is enough. >> good to talk to you as always. >> thank you. >> i can't lets you go without asking you a question, how many times have you been properly in love, montel? >> when you go through it, you think you're properly in love, probably almost every day of your life. it wasn't until i met someone
6:08 pm
who made me understand what love really meant that now i recognize that i've fallen in love for the first time. >> what is the answer? what does it really mean? >> the real answer is, to love someone enough that you would make sure you would do anything for them first. that's what i do for my wife. when i met her, i think -- though i may have thought i was in love many times before, i probably learned what love is all about thanks to her. >> that's why i like the question. montel, great to see you. come back and see me. the wolf of wall street is a hit. when we come back, i'll talk exclusively to the man who says the wolf has ruined his reputation. he's one of those guys who used to work in that extraordinary environment. ♪

6:12 pm
they're built to be thrown like a lawn dart. >> the infamous scene from "wolf of wall street." he saw the character nicki also known as rug rat. now he's suing because the movie ruined his reputation. andrew green, you are not rug rat, your nickname was wigwam. you're saying you worked there,
6:13 pm
jordan belfour ran this character in the movie. the character is clearly based on you. why are you so angry? >> there's no way the character was me. the only person in the entire book that jordy decided to not only use my name, but my full name, andrew todd greene. i know jordy since i'm ten years old. there are reasons why he went after me personally, which i hope that we'll get into. but i'm angry because i was harmed, i was humiliated. i was humiliated in front of my family, my friends. i was humiliated in front of a woman that i planned to marry. i lost my job, i'm in the middle of being admitted to the bar in new york. i'm talking to companies that are silent companies trying to get involved with.
6:14 pm
trying to establish investment banking relationships. if you were me and you were just betrayed as this deranged deagain rat criminal, sex crazed lunatic -- >> let's go through those one by one? >> you were the only person in the entire company who was like the wild west at the time who was none of those things zm. >> i'm going to disagree with you that most of the people in that company do not deserve to be described that way. >> really? >> correct. >> how many were crooked? >> there were a bunch of people that i found in my time -- i was there for a few years. >> percentagewise, how many were on the fiddle? >> i couldn't really give you a percent, but there was
6:15 pm
definitely a group that i would say people should never have been involved in the firm. and i spent two years implementing systems. to provide a safeguard, a compliance for that firm. >> just to clear up one thing, as far as you're concerned, you never broke the law in all your time? >> i'm proud of everything i did at that firm. >> that wasn't the question. the question was, did you ever break the law? >> never. >> and you've never been accused of those things? >> no. >> jordan belfour in his book and movie, has depicted you as the general mailstrom of sleaze and crookerry. >> jordan belfour who was someone i considered a brother is selling a bill of goods to you and the rest of the world right now, who grew up as
6:16 pm
somebody that had an inferiority complex, who was smaller than everyone else, who wasn't the best athlete. didn't have his girlfriend until he was in college. what he's betraying to you is this napoleonic complex he had. when they say wolf of wall street, i'd like to know anybody who can tell me that anybody ever called him that. >> i think he called him that. >> only himself. >> this is from an interview i did with jordan. we reaired it on friday. >> a female employee shaved her head for $10,000, true? >> true. to get breast implants, so it was even worse. >> to get breast implants she shaved her head for $10,000? >> yes, and i guess the philosophy was her hair would grow back and it would be perfect in six months.
6:17 pm
i think that was -- that was a scene that personally disturbed me. >> now, obviously in the movie, rug rat who they deny is you, they say it's an amalgamation of characters. you were called wigwam, you don't look dissimilar. he's one of the ones holding the clippers. in other scenes he's taking drugs, doing this, doing that. are you saying that nothing that wigwam does in the movie -- sorry, that rug rat does in the movie is accurately depicted? >> i am not saying -- >> if it's supposed to be you. >> i'm telling you that was me period, that i'm the only person in position of authority when it came to corporate finance. >> did you do any of the things andrew green that rug rat is seen doing in the movie? >> not a thing. that scene that you just showed, i find highly offense iive.
6:18 pm
first of all, if that happened prior to the time there. i find it highly offensive to women. >> let me come to you. andrew is very angry about this, he's got a completely clear record. never got even a suspicion of wrongdoing himself. i can see why he would feel the way he does, having said that, they would argue, look, this guy is not supposed to be andrew green. he's just a character based on a lot of characters that were there at the time. >> sure, but here is a situation where we have a character in the book that is directly named, directly identifies andrew. the character in the movie is not dissimilar from the character in the book. the descriptions of the wig, the descriptions of his persona, even as an individual, you can see physically -- >> why didn't you sue over the book, if that was all there -- they gave the full name, unlike in the movie, which doesn't. why didn't you --
6:19 pm
>> good question. when i read the book, i only read parts of it, the parts i found to be quite frankly to be a piece of trash, that i didn't really think, anyone is going to pay attention to that book, now we're sitting here, we have some of the most brightest, most respected people in hollywood, who are giving interviews saying that their interviews of jordan belfort and the reason they didn't warrant to depict the investors and what happened, they wanted to tell the story as it happened. >> when you sele yo dicaprio, what do you think of that? >> i think he should be ashamed of himself, and he's been sold a bill of goods, because you even talked about it in your interview. jordan call ed gordon gecko character as something that was fictional. jordy lived -- his persona is
6:20 pm
the movie. he was loved being called gecko. if people would just look at wall street one, that's jordy. and then he gets arrested and he goes to jail. then to jordy, wall street two is, i come out of jail, i write a book, i've now become a public speaker, i reinvent myself over in europe and i find a way to start making my way back to the united states. he lives that persona. >> is he not entitled to rehabilitate himself? lessons learned? >> i loved him like a brother, i would love nothing more. why he chose to throw me under the bus is a lot of reasons, because he needed to be in control of everyone. >> you filed a lawsuit? >> yes. >> how much? >> we're asking for $25 million. >> is it about money or principle for you?
6:21 pm
>> it's about principle, my reputation, my family. it's about losing the woman that i loved. >> why did you lose the woman you love? >> while he's collecting myself, let me just be very clear. this goes to the appropriateness -- >> i get it. you mentioned a few times, why? >> if you're going to plan to marry someone and spend the rest of your life with them, and then you start questioning, because you're seeing these clips and you see this movie of this individual who's being depicted as this depraved psychopath. >> the woman that you loved believed this and left you? >> our relationship is over. >> and you're blaming the movie? >> not just blaming -- if we had the time i could explain the details. >> well, listen, i'm going to leave it there. coming up, he's one of the most unconventional people in show business. david arquette is playing the

6:25 pm
i thought we had a serial killer on our hands. >> serial killer is not accurate. we have to knock off a couple more to get that title.
6:26 pm
>> we can help, can't we? we certainly don't have any leads. have you located sydney's father yet? >> no. >> he's not a suspect, is he? >> we haven't ruled him out as a possibility. >> "scream" of course, who could forget david arquette. he's doing a 180, playing a real life serial killer in lifetime's "happy face." it premieres saturday. welcome to you. >> thanks for having me, piers. >> i remember all the "scream" series. it kind of propelled you into that weird celebrity str stratosphe stratosphere? >> yes. >> over the years i watched your career develop. the question i would ask you would be, do you wish you hadn't been propelled into that stratosphere? does part of you wish you had
6:27 pm
never been a famous star? >> not really. we're fourth generation, my family goes back to vaudeville, my grandfather was a character actor named charlie weaver. it's just sort of in our bones. i do wish to a certain extent i was a little more -- i don't know, a little more grounded and guided in specific decisions along my career path. >> you come from a family so steeped in it, and yet by your own admission, possibly weren't prepared enough for it. why would that be? >> i don't know. i mean, i like to shake it up in general and just sort of look the the world a different way. sort of have a different approach to it. so maybe it's along those lines. i like doing a kids film, i like dressing crazy. i don't know what's wrong with me in that sense. but it's just an individuality. and i don't necessarily play by the same rules.
6:28 pm
>> when i heard the howard interview, it was fascinating in many ways. you thought about that afterwards, what did you feel about the way you laid yourself open right there? >> i tend to call howard at somewhat inappropriate times, it's not really a career -- i don't know if it's career suicide in a sense. but i don't know, it's just -- i'm trying to be honest and trying to be like -- when i first called at that time, all the magazines were coming out and said i was a cheater, and i hadn't. i wanted to set the record straight. it just wasn't the most tactful way. >> you regret it or not? >> i don't really regret anything, because i learn from my experiences, but you know, i don't know. >> you came off twitter as well recently. >> yeah, you didn't realize all the -- let's be honest, the crap that goes with it.
6:29 pm
anyone in the public eye that's on it knows what you're talking about. are you quite a sensitive guy when it comes to that kind of thing? were you unprepared for the kind of naked abuse anyone famous gets? >> yeah society in general, just the general public, the internet, it's a bullying mentality. and it's cruel and -- >> and anonymous in many cases. >> yeah, exactly. i wasn't prepared for it, i'm not a fan of it, i understand for businesses it makes a lot of sense to do it, and to have that fan base and stay connected. i like staying connected with my fans. it's also being a celebrity in this day and age, you don't have a lot of privacy, that's the way i'm taking it back. >> in 1999, you made a great decision for somebody who was already very famous, which was to marry somebody even more famous. courteney cox. i know you get along very well
6:30 pm
together now. but again, i ask you, when you look back at that, true love has its path, of course. but marrying one of the most famous actresses in america made you even more of a target for the paparazzi, chipping away at your life and privacy. do you wish again youen the made that move? >> no, i wouldn't change anything about that. >> true love is worth -- >> absolutely, absolutely. having courteney in my life has been one of the great joys and friendships and loves. for sure. and we have a beautiful daughter coco. >> who's going to be 10 in the summer. >> yeah, yeah. and that's going to be a gift. and now i have a baby on the way. >> this is with your girlfriend, she's having a baby boy, right? >> yes. >> are you a good dad? >> i'm a good dad. >> have you always been a good dad? or have you gotten better at it? >> no, i -- i've made mistakes,
6:31 pm
definitely. i also don't believe in being fake as a father. if i make mistakes i'm very honest about them and clear and discuss them openly with my daughter. >> it's been described as one of the -- not happiest divorces, but one of the best conducted divorces and subsequent relationships between divorced people hollywood's ever seen. is that true? it sounds like it is. and how do you manage that? so many people find it almost impossible. >> yeah, well, it wasn't only hollywood, the lawyer we had draw everything up had never done it that easily either. or clearly or cheaply. but she was very helpful. and the way we did it was not to forget the love that we shared for each other. not to try to destroy each other in the process. to understand each other's
6:32 pm
position, and then allow each other's needs to be met, at the same time being generous and conscious. >> i remember watching "dancing with the stars" and week after week, courteney would turn up with your daughter. i remembered thinking how unusual that was, and hugh nice you were able to do that. one great beneficiary would be your daughter. >> yes. >> you must love that. >> that has been the best aspect of our relationship is, you know, this beautiful child we brought into the world. and just sharing that with courteney, and just learning all that -- and she is incredibly supportive, i'm incredibly supportive of her. we have a production company together, we produced several things we have a game show coming out. >> you two should be -- >> she just directed her first film called "just before i go."
6:33 pm
and we're excited about that. i produced it with her. >> how many times would you say in your life you've been properly in love. >> properly in love, if you want to count the real deal twice. >> twice? >> if you want to extend that. >> i'm not telling you how many times you've been in love. i fall in love -- i've fallen in love several times in my life. really properly, twice. >> what have you learned about yourself? through the romantic process over the years? >> that i am a romantic at heart. i'm also -- i don't know, like the divorce, that broke my heart a lot. and changed my approach to it all. i was really dramatic, and really like over the top when i was younger. not that i'm --
6:34 pm
>> you're better? >> well, i'm a little more grown up as far as relationships go. when i was younger i get pretty dramatic. >> do you think you'll get married? or were you slightly, i don't know, i don't want to go there again. >> not off the table. because i'm madly in love with my new girlfriend. and she's a wonderful person and dear friend. we have a kid on the way, so -- >> how are you battling your demons that you talked about over the years. >> it's an ongoing thing. i try to keep the addict inside me in check. and also, the sort of self-critical voice in check. just kind of -- try to remain
6:35 pm
healthy. i'm not great at it, because i am a bit of a wild man, and i'm -- >> so you're not clean in that sense? >> no. you still party, you still -- >> i still drink. i'm trying to only -- it sounds very -- if you're involved in any sort of alcoholics program, i've tried to only drink like beer, wine, champagne. but that doesn't always happen either. >> when you saw what happened with phillip seymour hoffman and others, obviously very serious addiction in his case. do you recognize that problem of fame, addiction, really availability to whatever you want and an inability to defy the devil on the shoulder? >> yeah. it's not just the fame thing, though. one of my -- one of the first deaths in my life was a guy named reinard gleason.
6:36 pm
he was the oldest member of the gleason family, i grew up with. he died of a heroin overdose when i was probably 13 or 14. two of the cast members that i did my first project with overdosed. it's not something i'm unaware of. i feel for his family and i don't mean to take away anything or say anything callous, but there is an element to -- with cory monteith as well. if you shoot heroin and you don't give it up for a little, and you come back, that's kind of what's happened with all three of my friends earlier, they did too much later. their body wasn't ready for it, or just their demons caught up with them or whatever. i don't even like to say demons that way. >> that's what they are, they all talk about it in that way.
6:37 pm
is there also, it's not about being harsh, but perhaps realistic. if you have children, if you have families, loved ones and so on, is there a degree of selfishness to coming back if you're an addict into that world again? >> absolutely. i mean, addiction is all about being selfish, do a certain extent. and so -- it's about this crazy brain, if we try to figure out, you try to numb sometimes and try to cope or just -- whatever it is, and you try to have fun or whatever, but yeah -- >> for those of you who have never been addicted to alcohol or drugs or whatever, what is that feeling when you maybe have been incredibly well behaved for a long period of time, and then it builds and builds, describe that feeling, what is it? >> being sober and then deciding to drink again or whatever? >> yes. >> you know, the thing about sobriety is that it's a wonderful path, because it's difficult and it takes a lot of
6:38 pm
work, but there's an accountability and a groundedness, and a connectedness that you really can't fake. when i started drinking again, i don't know, maybe i just -- didn't want to be real at that moment or whatever. >> escape? >> there is an element of escapism, there is an element of, you know, just wanting to have fun, as selfish as that sounds. but, you know, i -- try to do it responsibly. you know, i never drive if i drink anything. and i've never been arrested, i don't -- i don't know. it's not a -- it's not a safe world, it's not as safe as sobriety or -- you also never know in life what's going to happen. i do like enjoying it, living life to the fullest. >> when we come back, let's talk about "happy face killer."

6:44 pm
fights monsters. amazing fbi profiler -- he was part of the team that -- >> the hannibal lecter team. we worked with him to develop a thing, and i just loved the -- human brian and trying to understand what makes a person do that. and the different sides of people and why. there's a really great script. an amazing director. and the great cast. and i worked with a producer, and lifetime does these movies really well. >> you killed eight women over five years. >> i don't, he does. >> he talks to feds, even gets annoyed with other people claiming credit to the murders. >> yeah. >> what did you learn about the mind of a serial killer? >> i learned a lot about him. >> it's based on a true story? >> yeah, he's jailed up in oregon. he'll be there until he's 118 at least. and i learned a lot. i mean, you could go on the internet, you can read a bunch
6:45 pm
of stuff about him. i read a bunch of documentaries. i also, his daughter wrote a book, and i looked at that. the film's not represented by that at all. but just to get an understanding of, you know, what she went through and what he was like from his daughter's perspective. i don't know, i learned -- you know, he's -- the reason he got so upset that somebody's taking credit, only in america would something like that happen, it's ludicrous. is because he wanted the credit. he -- there was there crazy element of, you know, it's a lot of it comes down to power. >> did you ever meet him? >> no, i didn't want to meet him. no interest in meeting him. i didn't even really do like a charicature of him or impersonation. i wanted to make it human from my point of view.
6:46 pm
