00:00:00.000 How is it for you when you're with your wife and you're out, maybe this has happened, maybe it hasn't happened, where a woman approaches you and it's from back in the days of a relationship?
00:00:09.440 Has that ever happened to you?
00:00:10.840 We've only bumped into one girl that I've dated from the past.
00:00:15.560 That means you don't get out much.
00:00:16.700 No, we don't.
00:00:17.380 I don't go out.
00:00:18.220 You don't risk it.
00:00:18.940 And the girls I dated, I never dated anybody in the business.
00:00:22.960 Really?
00:00:23.440 No.
00:00:23.820 I mean, I've gone, yes.
00:00:25.780 I went, I've dated them, but I never slept with anybody inside.
00:00:29.200 And never slept with anybody inside the business.
00:00:32.240 Never?
00:00:33.040 No, nobody.
00:00:34.060 I dated Nick and Cambo.
00:00:36.420 I've gone out with, I'm not going to run the list, but I've gone out with a lot of girls.
00:00:42.200 I've slept in the same bed with them, but I would not, you know, I don't know why I wouldn't attack them.
00:00:48.880 I wouldn't do that.
00:00:50.840 So you're in the business.
00:00:53.420 You're in Hollywood.
00:00:54.260 It's a business where you see everybody is, you know, for the most part, you'd see they hook up.
00:01:00.600 It's a hookup culture. 0.88
00:01:01.720 It's your, you're shooting a movie.
00:01:03.360 You're gone for 30 days.
00:01:04.680 You know, you, I think it was, uh, uh, Burt Reynolds.
00:01:08.220 Who was it that wrote a book?
00:01:09.700 Uh, Jolene, Jolene.
00:01:11.560 Who, who, who, who's the singer of Jolene?
00:01:13.580 What's her name?
00:01:14.200 Uh, um, Dolly, Dolly Parton writes, I think in a book, she says, we're doing a movie.
00:01:20.300 You could fact check this, but I read this either in her book or somewhere.
00:01:23.960 Her and Burt Reynolds are doing a movie and they had never been together before.
00:01:27.360 And she just says, listen, let's get it knocked out of the way.
00:01:29.560 So we don't even think about it.
00:01:30.920 And then boom, they go handle their business and then they do the movie.
00:01:33.620 Could have been her or, uh, him or somebody else.
00:01:36.100 But for you to say nobody ever, it's not like you didn't have the chances.
00:01:39.700 You're a good looking guy.
00:01:40.500 I dated a lot of girls, dated a lot of them. 0.82
00:01:43.380 But at the time still, I was battling between being a Jehovah's witness or trying to study
00:01:48.360 as a Jehovah's witness.
00:01:50.320 And, but there has to, there's a feeling of, you know, what is your prey, you know, you
00:01:57.780 know, who has that interaction with you and the girls are beautiful. 0.98
00:02:02.400 No fantasy of wanting to be a Hollywood couple.
00:02:05.720 Like what if her and I, you never thought about it that way.
00:02:08.160 Like, nah, that was never on the table for me.
00:02:11.480 You see Jay-Z with Beyonce.
00:02:13.120 You see these couples where it's like, you know.
00:02:14.780 I had a chance to date Beyonce, you know, early on.
00:02:18.620 And, um, we had a conversation, you know, and I ended up talking to the other girl inside
00:02:28.700 of, you know, Destiny, um, the girl with the blue eyes.
00:02:33.000 And I remember Beyonce looking over at me and I think that's why she picked me to do
00:02:37.300 that dance when she did the, the, you know, the kind of striptease dance that we did at
00:02:43.080 the BETs or whatever to show me what I had lost.
00:02:46.240 What I, but I had, I was attracted.
00:02:48.980 There was a moment in which I felt something there.
00:02:51.480 With Beyonce.
00:02:52.220 Yeah.
00:02:52.440 But that was long before she was with Jay-Z.
00:02:54.860 That was very, very long ago.
00:02:57.240 I mean, that was, they were big back then when they were coming out, they were very
00:03:01.540 big when they were coming out.
00:03:02.600 Destiny's Child.
00:03:03.400 Destiny's Child.
00:03:04.020 Yeah.
00:03:04.420 That's what it was.
00:03:06.540 Beyonce.
00:03:07.040 Yes.
00:03:07.300 I, I, I, I'm, uh, I'm actually very surprised that that's not something you ever did.
00:03:12.840 So it was always girls. 0.99
00:03:13.800 So how did you protect yourself as a guy that's in movies?
00:03:16.820 You're famous.
00:03:17.760 You're a celebrity.
00:03:18.640 Girls are throwing themselves at you. 1.00
00:03:20.500 How do you protect yourself from not getting in trouble the way a lot of the other guys got
00:03:25.160 in trouble? 0.61
00:03:25.520 Well, you don't, you don't crap where you eat at the same time.
00:03:30.880 I knew that, that all of those things come back and the people inside the business, how
00:03:35.880 many of them were hooking up.
00:03:37.640 I didn't want to get involved with that.
00:03:39.360 I didn't want somebody.
00:03:41.820 Was a girl ever surprised when you said no to her? 1.00
00:03:44.060 Yeah.
00:03:44.560 Somebody, a few girls was like, don't, one girl was like, uh, don't you want to know what 1.00
00:03:48.920 it's like to be inside of me?
00:03:50.320 And I said, I said, I'm already inside of you.
00:03:53.620 You know, we're already communicating.
00:03:55.520 You know, I'm already there with you.
00:03:58.280 But it wasn't the, we didn't have that passion.
00:04:01.740 The passion wasn't there.
00:04:03.540 When I met my wife, the entire world came together and, you know, I understood eternity
00:04:09.680 from meeting her.
00:04:10.960 I didn't feel that with the other women, you know?
00:04:13.640 So I had girls that I would hang out with, you know, everybody has, have, when you're
00:04:18.160 growing up, you got some.
00:04:19.600 And today I sit back and I think that's somebody's, that's somebody's mother now.
00:04:24.680 That's somebody's grandmother now.
00:04:26.580 You know, and the stuff I was asking them to do.
00:04:29.280 So, I mean, that's the regret.
00:04:33.760 That's the regret.
00:04:34.660 You just, you know, but you deal with it.
00:04:38.800 Yeah.
00:04:39.100 You know, does it at all bother you when he talks about this stuff or no?
00:04:44.820 Not at all.
00:04:46.300 I'm amazed by that.
00:04:50.500 Today, they hit on him with you there.

00:05:07.060 How do you handle it?
00:05:12.120 How do you handle it?
00:05:12.740 I mean, I handle it with grace and a smile, you know, like guys try and talk to her.
00:05:18.380 I mean, you have a beautiful wife, so it's not like, you know, both of you guys are.
00:05:21.500 And we're not even married.
00:05:22.820 We got divorced 12 years ago.
00:05:25.660 You told me last time, but it's pretty much, but you guys are together.
00:05:28.920 This is my one.
00:05:29.920 Yeah.
00:05:30.120 Yeah, this is my one.
00:05:31.660 So, it's not the main squeeze.
00:05:33.080 It is the only squeeze.
00:05:33.920 It's the only squeeze.
00:05:34.780 Okay, that's good.
00:05:35.580 It's the only squeeze because we're starting to look like each other.
00:05:38.040 You know?
00:05:40.020 She's actually become more me.
00:05:43.580 That is so funny.
00:05:45.100 You know, you see couples.
00:05:46.380 Yeah.
00:05:46.560 You see people with their dogs.
00:05:47.860 Yeah.
00:05:47.960 You know, that's the law of reflection.
00:05:49.020 The dogs, for sure.
00:05:50.000 Yeah.
00:05:50.140 You look like the person that you are with.
00:05:52.520 Yeah.
00:05:52.580 You behave like the person you're with.
00:05:54.480 Yeah.
00:05:54.720 So, she's changed me a lot.
00:05:56.580 But, you know, guys come up and try and flirt with her at other times.
00:06:00.960 And she's so kind about it.
00:06:02.800 She's like, wow, you're handsome, but not in this lifetime.
00:06:05.800 Maybe the next one.
00:06:07.480 Maybe the next one.
00:06:07.720 She'll say that.
00:06:08.360 Yeah.
00:06:08.760 Maybe the next one.
00:06:09.680 Not in this lifetime.
00:06:10.660 Maybe in the next one.
00:06:11.820 Yeah.
00:06:12.440 And it's a nice way of, you know, being flattered and also being let down gently.
00:06:20.220 Yeah.
00:06:20.800 So, marriage and parenting, both questions.
00:06:24.680 You know, when I'm building my national business, I was building an insurance agency, so I was
00:06:29.460 on the road four or six months out of the year, going to all those other places, you're
00:06:32.940 on the road all the time.
00:06:34.240 When you're doing movies, I'm assuming, I don't know the life, I'm assuming you're on
00:06:37.660 the road making movies, you know.
00:06:38.920 Yeah.
00:06:39.120 How do you manage that and parent and relationship, marriage?
00:06:45.780 How do you manage those?
00:06:46.840 It's got to be super difficult.
00:06:48.180 Well, the hardest thing is when you take your family on the road with you, you're not able
00:06:54.180 to completely commit to the character.
00:06:56.860 You're trying to, but you come home and then you have to be husband.
00:07:01.180 You have to be father.
00:07:02.560 You have to be all of those things.
00:07:04.400 But when you don't have your family there, you're kind of open to the wind.
00:07:10.800 You know, everybody wants to hang out with you.
00:07:13.040 So, I've had to, my wife, she'll let me go to the job the first few days by myself so
00:07:19.500 I can lock in maybe a week.
00:07:21.480 But then after that, she comes, you know, but she gives me a lot of space and sometimes
00:07:26.880 she'll give me a separate place, you know, because they'll provide a house for me for 0.98
00:07:30.860 the family, they'll provide housing for me, but then she will get a separate place where 1.00
00:07:36.800 the kids are and sometimes will let me be over there if I've got to go and do the work
00:07:40.320 I need to do.
00:07:41.560 But that's the only way I found that after two weeks apart, we change our chemistry,
00:07:48.380 you know, where we used to be like, oh, yeah, I'm so in love.
00:07:52.320 I'm so locked in.
00:07:53.360 I'm so everything.
00:07:55.220 But as males, we still produce, a healthy male still produce about 1,500 sperm per heart
00:08:00.800 beat.
00:08:01.260 So, that desire to, that need to share and empty the storehouse is always there and
00:08:09.780 after two weeks, that can become a problem.
00:08:12.520 The lines you use, I love it.
00:08:14.080 Listen, I'd love to empty my storehouse with you today.
00:08:16.740 Can you imagine?
00:08:18.000 I have a delivery to make.
00:08:25.680 How do you, how do you manage?
00:08:27.480 It is a real thing.
00:08:28.720 I mean, if you're a man, it's a real thing.
00:08:30.260 My, my guys would ask me, Pat, how do you, how do you manage to, you know, when you have
00:08:33.980 to empty the storehouse, how did you do it?
00:08:35.720 You can either take the route of self-abuse where you end up despising yourself afterwards,
00:08:42.540 you know, or you can, all right, I got to go work out, you know, or I need my wife to 1.00
00:08:48.420 be here.
00:08:49.200 So, you go home.
00:08:50.620 You know, I'm quick to fly back home.
00:08:52.780 And, but most of the time, you know, my one stays with me, you know, and it's not like
00:08:57.780 we get to play every day.
00:08:59.100 You know, you get older and you just, if it happens once a week, but now we spend so
00:09:04.200 much more time communicating, you know, just touching her leg on my leg at night is what
00:09:11.920 will help me go to sleep, you know.
00:09:15.100 Maybe at 57, this is just what happens, you know, but it's a good thing now.
