8:33 am
a shower because i worked my ass off. >> in he plays a one-time hollywood career. it's not the actor who famously portrayed batman a parallel of his own life. >> i don't think we had the time to say weshlgs, you know, you played batd macman, for me i thought this will drag me and it down. let's just jum bhoel that. >> this has hit some nerve, this film. >> i know. really simple. nicholson, a colleague of mine
8:34 am
said will you take a look at something for me. i said, master fufl. he said i'm glad you made it keat so i don't have to. >> i want to clear up. everybody talks about you and whether you're working a lot or not working. the perception was -- even the president of the united states sees you and he says, hey, why don't you make more movies. >> first words oust his mouth which was a little disconcerting. i'm thinking that's an interesting question coming from you, but you who are trying to be the lead over the free world, why are you worried about that. >> reporter: we met up with keaton at his home in los angeles. >> this is the reason people love california, isn't it? >> oh, man. >> reporter: though for the past 25 years he lived on this ranch in montana. even though far from hollywood, the actor has not stopped working since his first film rolled in 1982's "night shift."

8:36 am
>> easy. >> even when they rolled up -- >> well, yeah. i would argue that i'd do any more of those serious numbers. >> if you had done another "batman," there would be no "birdman." >> maybe people would say you're going to get in big trouble if you go down that road and will have to remind people. >> you're beautiful. you're talent. and i'm with you. >> when people call it a comeback, you want to dismiss that? >> no. honestly, it's okay with me. call it what you want. for me i showed up here with like $2770 in my pocket. i got it when i was like

the last ice age, siberia. a mammoth is nearing the end of her long hard life. she's seen many winters. and born many calves. but her luck runs out. she becomes trapped and hungry predator predators move her unzmieng we found teeth marks on the bones.
8:42 am
>> reporter: but encased in permafrost her body would survive the millenia until its discovery in 2013. >> the remains of a mammoth nicknamed buttercup are the subject of a new smith solian documentary, how to close a woolly mammoth. >> the female walked the early 40,000 years ago. she was found on a northern island in siberia. tori, good morning. >> good morning. >> the tusks were found in 2012 but the reactil remains were fo in 2013. >> it's special that it came to life. when they tried to excavate the carcass and they cut into the flesh, the flesh was there, this red fluid started to ooze out of
8:43 am
it. >> blood? >> well, that's of course what they actually thought. oi, my goodness. can you imagine that? you establish an ancient beast you haven't seen and it looks like blood coming out of it. i mean i would have run a mile. they said, maybe we've got some kind of blowing blood. the blood is so well preserved. so what does that mean for dna or things like that. the next thing was to verify the fluid. the next was to do an autopsy, look at the flesh. >> i was thoroughly engrossed, i have to say that. but i'm a bit squeamish. so when the scientist took a bite out of the flesh, i couldn't believe it. you were on the autopsy. what did you learn? >> loads. going through the process was a discovery. this was my first experience of flesh and blood carcass. so i was learning the whole time. more than that, you can learn so
8:44 am
much from an animal by looking aet the teeth. we could see she was in her 50s when she died. we knew she live add good long line. then when we got inside her, her stomach, liver, i had my hands on 40,000 ma'am moth liver and there were stones in them. they were probably biostones. they accumulate in the live. so maybe that's a sign she wasn't very well toward the end of her life. she was old and maybe that might have explained why she got stuck in that bog in the first placement was she weak? coming toward the end of her life anyway? her actual death seemed more gruesome. >> what does it mean to have actually found her blood? >> well, that's really remarkable. the guy on the autopsy you'll see on the program who was just divine, he was so excited about it. he works on the mammoth's hee hoe glow bin.
8:45 am
that's the stuff inside your red blood cells that picks up oxygen. because it was a cold climate, they believed the blood had adapted. he was super thrilled. he thought he could get his hands on an aual molecule if you look. from a cloning point of view, it was probably more important for the korean scientist because they want to get their hands on the mammoth cell. >> it's the koreans who want to do this. >> it's a group who wants to clone it. there's also a group from the u.s. who are doing something a bit different. they're trying to create if you like a new class of animal that maybe look like a mammoth for all intents and purposes. >> what would that mean to have a woolly mammoth or any derivative thereof to be walking on the earth with us humans? >> i think it's a big question. it's a big question all of us have to ask ourselves. it's moving from the situation where it was impossible to
8:46 am
something we should consider more seriously and we have to start asking the question is it something we should be doing? what is the legacy of this -- my personal feeling is at the moment there doesn't seem to be a way of doing this without involving asian elephants and i can't see justify experimenting on those. >> we've got to run. but this is so interesting. the program is called how to clone a woolly mammoth. it will be on showtime, a division of cbs. you're watching "cbs this morning." ♪ it's a marshmallow world in the winter ♪
