It's gonna be fun, yeah. You've seen it. Are you coming?

I'm not coming.

I did get invited, though.

You got invited, but you're not coming.

I got invited. I can't come because I got work. Got you. Could you get me off work? You have an excuse. Could you think of an excuse? Show me who to talk to. I'm Oliver Trevena here in the Young Hollywood Studio, joined by the handsome Pablo Schreiber. How are you?

Thank you. Thank you.

Well, your career is going well right now.

Thanks.

That's good. Which is good, because it would make it awkward on the sofa if it's not going well. It would be weird. Come on to Young Hollywood and talk about how you're not working anymore. Let's talk about what's going

You guys should do that more often. That would actually be a great interview. Like invite people that are just having a hard time getting work. Just going downhill fast.

Yeah. Be like the Golden Globes. There you go. Awkward moment after awkward moment.

Awkward moment after awkward moment. There were a few.

That's a lot. Which I feel is like kinda consistent in some of these award ceremonies nowadays. Especially when they hire Ricky Gervais. Well, bring another Canadian. Bring us another Canadian. Yeah. Can't trust those Canadians.

Um, yeah. I won't of course, uh, say too much about Ricky Gervais. We're not talking about him behind his back. It's kinda like his gag, you know. You're an absolute nightmare. You're really awkward. You make people feel awkward, Ricky.

Yeah, you're making us feel awkward now, and you're not even here.

Yeah, you're not even here.

Yeah. Um, anyway, 13 Hours. Yes. That's not awkward.

No, that's a movie I'm in. It's an amazing story that I actually wasn't aware of either. And I don't think a lot of people are, which is mind-blowing because of the story it is. Let's go. We gotta move. If you do not get here soon, or you're all gonna die. It's about the Benghazi terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2012, and it's it's told through the eyes of these six ex-military elite contractors that were hired by the CIA. You know, you, like most people, I think, were aware of Benghazi as a political talking point, but not so much about the facts of what happened on the on the ground. So, we're telling the story of what happened to these guys on that night. And that's really the only slant we're taking is a factual story about what happened to these guys.

Right, the real the real story. And that's what's amazing about this project is because it was, you know, you guys were very hands-on. Michael Bay was very hands-on with the, you know, the real people in in this story, which is.

Yeah. I think Michael, you know, it's a very personal movie for him. You know, when you're when you're telling a true story,

Right.

you feel like you need to get the facts right, which I think a lot of pains were taken to do that. And then at the same time, when you're playing a real person, there's a real responsibility to making sure that when this person eventually sees the movie, they're gonna be happy with their story on the screen. Right. So, nobody took it lightly. And then, of course, you know, the events of that night were were horrific. And these guys went through a lot. And, um, and four Americans lost their lives, and hundreds of Libyans. So, I think we were aware of that at every level of filmmaking, and nobody took that lightly.

Did you have to, uh, 'cause watching the movie, you know, military training, you must have had a bit of that, right?

Yeah. We went to uh Simi Valley for three days. The six main guys that, uh, that the story is told through were brought to Simi Valley, and we did a boot camp for three days with some ex-Navy SEALs, who walked us through a small weapons training. We learned to fire the handguns, the M4s, the saws, all the different weapons that we used in the movie. Which, you know, was was incredibly important because when you get there, uh, Michael Bay's set can be uh very very hectic. He he shoots

It's very explosive, Michael Bay's set.

Uh, he shoots faster than than anybody in the business, you know? And he really expects a lot from you as a crew and and as an actor, you know, he expects you to come uh being prepared to shoot any part of the movie at any given part of the day. Uh, schedules are kinda tossed out the window by the end of the movie. And, uh, and so just being really, really, really prepared and ready to go when you show up, uh, as far as your training, and as far as uh being ready to act any piece of the movie was very important. Your uh your Christian for Ronto. Tonto. A real guy, has a huge personality, great sense of humor. So, uh, to meet him and to learn his particular brand of humor was, uh, was integral in in getting to know how to play him. I think, uh, he especially, but all the guys, use humor to diffuse uh tense circumstances. So when the bullets start flying and things get crazy, um, he likes to lighten things up to keep people around him uh loose, and to keep himself loose. And so, for me, that was one of the major dynamics of playing the character is uh to learn how he loosens things up.

Right, right, right. Literally. Yeah. Did this all uh this this happen for this movie? You're fit, you're This is

What are we talking about? The microphone?

No, I can't stop looking at your uh physical shape, young man.

Oh, that's quite nice of you to say.

I'm just being honest.

Yeah, well. My insecurities are coming out. Great way to start the week. Let's not let's not go there. Come on. You're in wonderful shape yourself.

Thank you, darling, thank you. And your boots are incredibly pointy. You have that on me.

Thank you. This is like, in case I need to point at something, and for some reason I don't have my hands, I can do it. Look. There you go. Oh, okay. Yes. This there you go. I need to get some of those. I'm gonna go left. And then I'm gonna go right. Do you like that? See? People just think they're shoes. They're so much more than shoes.

Yeah. Yeah, I put on about 20, 25 pounds of muscle for the movie. Um, for me, I'm actually I'm naturally quite a thin person with a high metabolism, so it's hard for me to gain weight. So it was rough, you know? I had to eat a ton. It's way more. I never felt hungry the entire two months leading up to the movie.

The premiere's in Dallas at the is it a stadium? I heard.

Uh, it's true. Yeah, it's in Dallas. It's a We're having the uh the premiere at Cowboy Stadium. Yeah, this yeah. Which I've heard is, you know, a place where they play football. And it holds over 500 people.

Over 500?

Over 500. More than. I don't know the number itself. It's more than 500. More than. I think we're gonna have 30,000 people there.

That's insane.

It holds 100,000. You know, I think that would probably get too big for for a movie premiere. But 30,000 feels like like a good amount. That's a good number. Chris Oz and Tig, the three folks who are the public face of of this, who wrote wrote the book 13 Hours, uh, they'll definitely be there. And, um, Mitchell Zuckoff, who wrote the book 13 Hours, he's a Boston Globe New York Times reporter, he'll be there. Mr. Michael Bay, who who directed the motion picture. Yeah, it's gonna be fun. 30,000 people are gonna see it.

Yeah, it's gonna be fun. Yeah. You've seen it. Are you coming?

I'm not coming.

Oh, really? I didn't get an invite, though. I didn't he come? Max. You got invited, but you're not coming.

No, I got invited. I can't come 'cause I got work.

Gotcha. Could you get me off work? You have an excuse. Could you think of an excuse? Show me who to talk to. Um, think of an excuse right now on the spot. Uh, it's important It's for your country. Am I asking enough?

I'll be there. I've gotta do it for my country. Wait, wrong country. I'm practically American. Maybe. I'll be there.

Let me hear your best American accent. Oh, God. What a horrible way to finish. Come on, let me hear it. Man, I can't do nothing. That's good. You're gonna fit right in in Texas. That was good. No, that was southern. You went southern. You didn't specify. You said No, that actually wasn't bad.

Oh, thank you.

So, 13 Hours. What's this, man? Enough. We've been for a while. We're gonna keep going.
