a camera is not going to kill you. you know what i mean? but a microscope destroys everything that's undeit if it's on too long. it's so harsh. it's so -- it burns. >> even the two younger girls, your goddaughters, i just walked by a newsstand. they were on the cover of it. it said passed out or drinking. i don't know what the story was. they were definitely on the front cover after a magazine. >> i'll ask kris all those questions. >> this will make you feel good. if you're interested in the world series, good for you. if you're not, you can watch jimmy fallon predict who's going to win with his puppies. >> red sox beat the cardinals 8-1 last night. >> we have four puppies and two bowls of delicious kibble. one represents the boston red sox. the other the st. louis cardinals. whichever bowl is the first to get two puppies will win the world series. ready to meet the puppies? i want this to be a clean vote. i don't want to see any wandering, peeing or butt sniffing. you got it? this is serious, you guys! let's release the puppies! >> oh, i can't take it.

my hair frizzed in the back. i died. but it was good for the character. because it's a very heavy, serious film. and i look so busted. >> the things you do for your art. i understand you really fought for this role. you had to convince. >> yeah, i did. >> tell us. >> well, what happened was, is that they wanted to go with somebody from jaurez. it was coming down a line. and i said, listen, i will go in. i will read. i will do anything to get this role. and, like you said, it's the pivotal point. and i just did it. i went in there, you know, and i don't have that kind of pride or ego when it comes to auditioning. went in there and knocked it

out. she sent it over. ridley was like, she's hired. it was just like that. >> what a star studded cast, by the way. >> tell some of the people. michael fastbender? >> cameron diaz. brad pitt. penelope cruz. her husband, javier bardem. it just goes on and on and on. >> wow. >> now you can say you've been in a ridley scott movie. >> is there pressure with that, being in one of his films? >> yes. >> tell us. >> it's a lot of pressure because everybody knows that he's, like, the ultimate professional onset. so you have to -- it looks like theater. when the curtain comes up you got to know your lines and you got to be ready, set, go. it's the same thing with him. and the set is so efficient that everybody makes you feel so

comfortable so that you can do your thing. you got to really step up to the plate. but he's a very unassuming, charming, personable man. that's what really threw me. and i remember, he came over to me. he said, are you nervous? i said, i'm so nervous. he whispered in my ear, held me close, so am i. >> what a kind thing to do! >> yes. >> congratulations. >> yes. has marriage changed your life completely, by the way, rosie? >> yes. because i'm more disgustingly happy. but, no, because he's my soul mate. so it just feels like another day that just got better to some extent. and i just love it. i love it. there is a bond. people say it's just a piece of paper. but there is a bond. >> say the word again. husband. >> thank you so much. >> we're very happy for you. >> everything is going good, good great for rosie. god bless, sweetie.
