Jay Leno - 7. Oktober 2002 Jay: My next guest appears on “Dawson’s Creek” on the WB network, and is starring in a new film called “The Rules of Attraction.” It comes out this Friday, October 11th. Please welcome James Van Der Beek! *James comes out and shakes hands with Jay Leno and David Spade* Jay: Hi James. How are you buddy? It’s good to see you. How you’ve been? James: I’m good! I’m good. I’m really good. Jay: So, you just got back from vacation. Where did you go? James: Yeah, we went to ah....we went to this place in the middle of nowhere. In Mexico. Right on the beach. It was like two hours south of Puerto Vallerta. No electricity. Jay: No electricity? James: No, no phones. It was ah.... Jay: Was there a hurricane? Why? James: *laughs* No. It was on a bird sanctuary, actually. And it was great. It was these little huts right on the beach. Jay: Huts? James: Yeah. Well, there was one drawback to all of it. They had toilets but, umm.. there’s a but coming... Jay: There’s always a but for this according to all. James: *speaking to David Spade* That was accidental. Jay: Okay, there’s no toilets but... James: But the toilets could not handle toilet paper. So, so what they asked you to do was put it in a little basket. *camera pans to David Spade making a funny face* Jay: Okay, my next guest is a band from the.... *audiences laughs* Jay: Really? So now you didn’t bring one of these baskets with you? James: No, no, no, no...they left them there. Jay: Thank you. James: They left that out of the brochure. Jay: Now what intrigued you about a place with no electricity or no toilets? James: Well, it was, it was like I said. We didn’t know about the whole toilet situation. I mean, my fiancee was still like denying that she even pooped. So.... *audience laughs* Jay: Really? James: Yeah. So this, this was.... Jay: Boy, wait till you get married! James: *laughs* This was bad news. Jay: No, you’re going to learn a lot. All right. Okay... James: Yeah. Jay: That sounds like a lovely vacation. James: It was, you know...it was actually really great. They had, you know....all the rest of it was spectacular. But just one little... Jay: Yeah. So now you just got engaged... James: Yeah. Jay: Now, I’m assuming... Did you get engaged because I see you on the cover of the gay magazine, “Out” magazine? James: Yeah. Jay: Now, did you get engaged the day this came out? James: *laughs* Actually, a little bit before. I thought this would be a great way to introduce myself to my future in-laws. Jay: Right. Give them “Out” magazine. James: *laughs* Yeah. Jay: Now, why are you in “Out” magazine? James: Umm...they, they called up and asked me to be on the cover. Jay: Really? James: Yeah. I was, I was a little confused myself. *audience laughs* Jay: Yeah, all right. So the gay magazine...we want to put you on the cover. James: Yeah. Jay: But you’re not gay. James: No. Jay: Or so you say. *audience laughs* James: *smiles* Or so I say. You’ve got to read up. Jay: I mean, do you play a gay character or something? James: No, no. The character in the movie is not gay. Although, there is, there is a ah... *audience laughs* Jay: There is a what? James: There is a certain fantasy sequence in the movie. Jay: A fantasy sequence? Now, are you with another man? James: It’s another character’s fantasy of ah... Jay: But you’re in it? James: Yeah. Jay: Do you make out with a guy? James: Ah, there’s a little bit of man love. Jay: That’s gay. Okay.... All right, ladies and gentleman. *audience laughs* Jay: Now, what did you call it? Man love? *laughs* James: A little bit of man love. *audience laughs* James: Just a little bit. Jay: You know, again...I don’t know all the terms so....okay. You can make love to a thousand women, then you make out with one guy... *claps hands together* Boom! What can I say? Jay: So you have the love scene. So it actually doesn’t happen because it’s a fantasy. James: It’s a split screen. So it’s on one half of the screen. Jay: Oh, it’s one half of the screen. David Spade: That’s not gay. *audience laughs* Jay: No, but they are both in the same half. You see, that’s what it is. James: Yeah. Jay: So, how did the shooting go? Were you nervous about making out with another guy? James: Umm, it was one of those things like when the alarm goes off in the morning and you hit the snooze button. Jay: No, it’s not like that at all. *audience laughs* Jay: You know, I have an alarm clock and it goes off every morning. I don’t hit that and go, “this is like being gay.” No, I don’t do that. I can’t say I’ve ever hit my alarm clock and go, “Oh, I feel like some man love right now.” It’s not like that at all. Tell me how it’s like an alarm clock. James: *laughs* No, no, no....I’m saying when the alarm clock goes off in the morning and you think about what you have to do during the day. It’s like, eh...okay, I have to kiss a dude today. But then... Jay: Now, were you aroused when you thought this? *audience laughs* James: *annoyed look* No. Jay: No? All right. James: No. Jay: But did you pick... How does that happen? “James, this is Bob.” “Bob, how are you? All right, let’s get ready for...” James: No, his, his name was Ian. Jay: Ian? Sounds gay. James: Oh, god! *audience laughs* James: But, ah...we both had a beer beforehand. To set the mood. Jay: A couple of beers to set the mood. James: A couple of beers to set the mood, and ah.... David Spade: As long as it wasn’t after. *audience laughs* Jay: I think he’s getting pissed now. Look, he looks pissed. David Spade: No, you’re grilling him pretty hard. He’s being a good sport. Jay: No, I’m giving you a hard time. So describe the movie. What is the movie about? James: The movie... it’s a college movie. It’s a really, really like raw, honest college movie. Based on a Bret Easton Ellis novel. It’s written and directed by Roger Avary who co-wrote “Pulp Fiction.” Jay: Oh, sure. James: So, it’s just umm...crazy. It’s the opposite of “Dawson’s Creek.” So if you want to see “Dawson’s Creek,” watch the WB. But this is the complete opposite. Jay: What’s happening in this scene we’re going to see here? James: This is the first time my character, Sean Bateman, who is actually technically the younger brother of the “American Psycho,” Patrick Bateman, meets Lauren played by Shannyn Sossamon. *shows clip of ROA* Jay: It’s good. *audience claps* James: So, is this going to be the last year for “Dawson’s Creek?” What is it? Six years? James: This is our sixth season, yeah. Jay: Wow! That’s good. *audience claps* Jay: So, what do you think? James: Umm...you know what? They have kind of told us this is the last year, but they’re not telling everyone else. So they are kind of leaving it to be like, “I think so.” So, yeah... Jay: What do you think? It should go on or continue? James: I’m happy with six years. I ain’t greedy. That’s a good deal. The only pilot I ever *missed word* for six years. Jay: You can’t beat that. And your fiancee Heather McComb, she’s a lovely girl. James: *smiles* Yeah. Jay: She’s nice. Thanks for being a good sport. James Van Der Beek, ladies and gentleman. Quellen: Kathie, JVDB Online
