Natasha Lyonne Worked On Marlon Brando’s Final Film | Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend

speaking of surreal there's one thing I. have to ask you about which is I believe. you might be the last person on Earth to. work with Marlon Brando and I just have. to ask you about it oh it was it was. wild I I'll go ahead and say it it was. Buck. Wild I'm glad you had the courage to go. ahead with your thought yeah but it was. on like Scary Movie 2 and I remember at. the time they hired him they gave him a. crazy amount of money to do a cameo and. in this movie and then they I think they.

ended up not using him cuz he was too. ill is that right yes sir uh so it was. uh Keenan Ivy wayes was the director who. uh I love and uh yeah so when it came in. I was definitely like yo hard pass. because like I don't I don't with. things called scary movie too um right. and like that's not what I'm in this for. mhm and uh you know and I I love Billy I. love Billy free.

H I love The Exorcist which they parody. in that one yeah I actually met him and. spent time with him towards the end of. his life cuz he wanted me to be uh May. West and uh oh biopic that I of course. yeah um but I think originally it was B. Midler that's how name drop so uh just. like you have to take a pause and hit. him with the last name MH and uh I just. call her be but whatever you do yeah you. don't call her the the Divine miss m no. just B yeah well and Wait no that's.

Barack Obama oh how many bees. you have in your. phone do you play the spelling bee and. Dallas Howard what's that you call her a. lot just in that redhead Club but I'm. not on the thread I'm not in you were on. the thread but you won't answer yeah um. so anyway uh yeah it was um like yeah. you don't want to with. Linda Blair Billy frein that's. nuts uh and then they were like and. Marlin brand though um is doing it and.

uh your your dear heart uh Andy RoR yeah. um and was in it as well yeah but really. Marlin was my way in at the time I was. like I mean you know uh that's working. with brand though so got to do it you. got to be like you know your mother. sucks in Hell H you gota like you. just are you going to do it better than. she did you're not uh you're going to. ruin it but it's BR though and then. shows up uh and he uh yeah was he was.

very very old uh and and ill I think. yeah yes and an oxygen tank and uh ear. pieces and I've told this story on your. show live um but um well I guess it's to. tape but uh you. know I'm not involved in the editing. yeah yeah you not that really didn't. need to be qualified but anyway go ahead. and uh if you're not familiar with Conan. work so he uh you.

know there was this talk show and I love. how you get to the part where so Brando. shows up now of course Conan used to. tape his show now he'd tape it at 5:30. but it wouldn't air till 12:30 so there. was a lag in which time they could make. short edit you're getting to the best. part of the story and now you're making. it longer to sorry we're all going to. die you want the full. story um as was like you know because of.

the breathing and um yeah the bed was. sort of one of the gags was it was like. a low rider that would move all crazy. like a you know Pimp My Ride style uh. which I think he'd never seen uh I don't. even know if it was out yet um yeah um. but uh you know SpaceTime moves in all. kinds of directions it does so anyway he. would keep his hand right on my titt I. think as I was in the Prosthetics um did. not understand that like guy was a real.

person at all um and cuz he was so busy. with the oxygen tank and trying to hear. the lines in the bed kind of shaking and. rattling um you're giving him a lot of. credit and uh and you know it's a. despite what my mother said it's a. nice rack you know what I mean. so he know what he was doing and yeah. and I was like wow this is like a. pretty serious Day at the Office. you know what I mean cuz so you're. standing there and you're in all these. Prosthetics marowan brand who doesn't.

have long to live has his hand on your. breast for like for like hours you know. what I mean at a time and I'm like like. that's Brando I mean is a. you. know Big Boy Brando yeah yeah you know. um can he breathe not really but you. know is he all there I mean nope uh is. it the sort of acting face off I dreamed. though well it's no on the waterfront.

if you look at on the waterfront he's. got his hand on Carl Malden's on Carl. Malden's. breast you they cut they tried to cut. around it yeah they. do and yeah I was like well yeah I guess. I am a Contender after all and. so on uh so I was thrilled and delighted. I thought it was pretty special. um and uh yeah then when he dropped out. of the film the next day um due to his. health and like I think he died like 3.

weeks later he died very shortly. afterwards yeah I may be I'm. the I don't want to make it about me but. um you know it's I maybe the last person. that he felt up I don't want to assume. that he was kind of it's like it's not a. big deal it's just sort of like yeah. pretty much Brandon and I banged it out. hardcore you know what I mean like and. three weeks later he died and yeah that. was the last time that he could. manage it and uh then then and then the. next day they brought brought in James.

Woods mhm and yeah this is how every. story. ends and then they brought in James. Woods so Godfather four yeah. and and uh he was less of a charmer. uh in the makeup less of a charmer than. the man on. oxygen whose hand is on your breast for. six. days cuz he was like yeah you know I can. tell even with the makeup you're a.

spinner. right no no no no no yeah yeah and that. was I thought I mean less sexy uh than. uh you know Brando who's just. oxygen you know I mean pumping and. oxygen it was crazy uh no that didn't. happen and um but yeah the James Woods. one was like oh that's weird but I. think James Wood is a great. actor uh despite the fact that he's a.

uh Republican U you know psychopath sort. of um I don't know you know was hitting. on me as a teenager and full monster. makeup uh I. mean pretty. specific a it's a crazy move dude uh he. has a type yeah I guess he does and uh. but my God Sergio Leon's Once Upon a. Time in America you know and multiple. truth.

hold you see all facets of The Human. Condition is what you're saying I'm just. saying you see the high and the low I. mean he's a that guy's a great. great actor MH and I don't know what the. Brando was up to but it was nothing. to kosher himself I mean Len. Mar Last Tango I mean him and baluchi a. the shinanigans they're getting. into you don't call that Shenanigans oh. you call it rape I see uh.

yeah I mean that poor chick. never recovered from that picture did. she um but it's a you know it's a real. buttery scene. so and multiple truths you know there. are multiple truths yeah there are many. multiple truths and in a way it's like. are they Time Crimes or what because I. think that uh just uh raping and abusing. women throughout history has been uh you. know for uh reasons that are very.

obscure and uh Mercurial um conceptually. and morally would just sort of AFF a. life and uh I don't know I'm I'm just. riffing like Miles Davis might yeah I'm. uh I'm I'm I'm just I don't know that's. for you because you brought up I think. 75 different incredibly heavy topics but. uh I don't and I of course I don't have. an answer for any of it other than I. mean.

uh that I think what comes to mind is me. thinking about. you going through all this without. functioning parents being really young. and figuring it out and you've come out. of it on the other side and. you're a remarkably I think uh. intelligent person who's also non you. there's a complete lack of judgment. you're not judging people you're not.

you've been through a lot you've been I. feel like you've been through 50. lifetimes of Madness but you. are very even keeled and you're you keep. bringing up this concept that many. things are true some that that someone. can be a monster but they can also be a. brilliant artist and then you you see. all this three four dimensionality to it. which I think is pretty amazing that you. can look at it all that way yeah cuz I. think we live in a time where people. just want to hear is was someone good or.

was someone bad yeah it's a bummer and. it doesn't work that way nope yeah. yep but that said I'd like to end on I. think I'm good very good and I mean. perfect that's not the takeaway from. this I mean perfect in every way and. there's no like layers hard. disagree.
