>> Jimmy: YOU LOOK LIKE A 
PRINCESS.
>> THANK YOU.
I REALLY LOVE THIS DRESS.
I FEEL LIKE I'M SORT OF LIKE THE
QUEEN OF A RENAISSANCE FAIR.
THIS IS FOR YOU, BY THE WAY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
>> Jimmy: OH, THANK YOU.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO JUMP OUT 
AND BITE ME OR ANYTHING, IS IT.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
I GOT IT BACKSTAGE, SO YOU TELL 
ME.
>> Jimmy: THANK YOU.
WHERE DID YOU GET THIS DRESS, 
MAY I ASK?
>> THIS IS BY A DESIGNER NAMED 
CHRISTOPHER JOHN ROGERS.
ISN'T IT COOL?
>> Jimmy: IT IS COOL.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE FRAYED ON THE 
SIDE.
I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A COSTUME
YOU FOUND IN A SHOP OR 
SOMETHING.
>> YEAH, JUST ON HOLLYWOOD 
BOULEVARD.
NO, NO.
>> Jimmy: YOU GREW UP IN THIS 
NEIGHBORHOOD.
IS THIS YOUR HOOD RIGHT HERE IN 
HOLLYWOOD.
>> YEAH.
AS A KID, MY DAD HAD A PLACE ON 
VINE AND YUCCA.
>> Jimmy: THAT'S WEIRD FOR A KID
TO BE HERE.
>> IT'S INCREDIBLY WEIRD BECAUSE
YOU SEE THE NEIGHBORHOOD GO 
THROUGH SO MANY CHANGES.
I REMEMBER A PLACE I USED TO GO 
TO WITH MY DAD ALL THE TIME 
GROWING UP, LIKE WHEN I WAS 16, 
BECAME A VERY POPULAR CLUB AND I
REMEMBER PASSING IT AND BRITNEY 
SPEARS WAS WALKING IN AND TRYING
TO GET IN AND HIM BEING LIKE, I 
DON'T REMEMBEROU, YOU'RE NOT 
COMING INSIDE THIS CLUB, YOU'RE 
NOT OF AGE.
>> Jimmy: WOW, A YOUNG 
MOUSKETEER-AGE BRITNEY SPEARS.
>> NO, I THINK SHE WAS OLD 
ENOUGH TO GET IN.
>> Jimmy: YOU COULDN'T GET IN.
>> NO, I THINK SHE WAS IN THERE.
WHICH IS WHY I WANTED TO GET IN.
>> Jimmy: DID YOU NOT HAVE A 
FAKE I.D.?
>> WELL, I DID BUT THAT WAS 
MAYBE SOME MONTHS LATER SO THAT 
INCIDENT REALLY, I WAS LIKE, I 
GOT A GET A FAKE I.D.
SO I HAD A FAKE I.D. THAT SAID I
WAS 26 AND FROM NEVADA.
BUT AT THE TIME, I HAD BRACES, 
SO IT WOULD WORK ONLY IF I JUST 
KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT, YOU KNOW, SO
IF SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING TO ME
AND I NEEDED TO RESPOND, I WOULD
BE LIKE -- 
>> Jimmy: THAT'S HOW PEOPLE DO 
IT IN L.A. ANYWAY.
>> IT'S TRUE.
>> Jimmy: YOU AND I WERE HERE ON
THIS VERY STAGE TOGETHER OVER 
THE SUMMER.
>> WE WERE.
>> Jimmy: SHOOTING A SCENE FOR 
"CREED 2."
>> YES.
I WAS THE MUSICAL ACT.
>> Jimmy: YOU WERE THE MUSICAL 
GUEST.
MICHAEL B. JORDAN WAS HERE.
HE WAS IN CHARACTER, I WAS IN 
CHARACTER AS ME.
>> YOU WERE -- I THOUGHT YOU DID
A REALLY INCREDIBLE JIMMY 
KIMMEL.
>> Jimmy: HOW DID THAT SCENE 
COME OUT?
WAS IT GOOD?
IS IT THE BEST PART OF THE 
MOVIE?
>> DID YOU NOT -- THEY 
HAVEN'T -- IT GOT CUT.
>> Jimmy: YEAH, YEAH.
IT GOT CUT.
>> YEAH, IT GOT REALLY CUT.
LIKE THE WHOLE THING.
NOT JUST A PART OF IT.
>> Jimmy: NONE OF IT IS IN THE 
MOVIE.
>> I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S BECAUSE 
YOU, LIKE, OUT-ACTED US OR WHAT 
WAS HAPPENING.
>> Jimmy: IT DEFINITELY -- THAT 
SEEMS UNLIKELY.
>> NO, YOU WERE REALLY GOOD.
>> Jimmy: WELL, ALL I WAS DOING 
IS THE SAME CRAP I DO EVERY 
SINGLE NIGHT.
>> YEAH, BUT IT'S GOOD CRAP.
>> Jimmy: APPARENTLY NOT.
>> NO, YOU WERE -- YOU WERE 
FANTASTIC.
AND YOU KNOW, IT WAS FUNNY, I 
WAS DOING THE MUSICAL GUEST, AND
I WAS, LIKE, I FELT LIKE 
RIHANNA, BEYONCE, I FELT SO COOL
AND I WAS BACKSTAGE BECAUSE YOU 
WERE DOING THE SHOW THAT NIGHT.
I THINK IT WAS JAMIE FOXX AND 
SOMEBODY ELSE BUT I HAD A 
PREGNANT BELLY SO I WAS 
BACKSTAGE TRYING TO HOBNOB WITH 
EVERYONE BUT ALSO CONCEAL THE 
PREGNANT BELLY.
BUT YEAH, IT WAS REALLY FUN TO 
BE ON THE SHOW.
I'M GLAD TO BE HERE OFFICIALLY.
ARE YOU GOING TO CUT THIS?
>> Jimmy: NO, NO.
I WOULD NEVER TAKE IT OUT ON 
YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
>> Jimmy: BUT YOU KNOW, IT'S A 
SORE POINT.
I'VE BEEN CUT OUT OF A LOT OF 
MOVIES.
>> HAVE YOU?
>> Jimmy: I WAS THE ORIGINAL 
DARTH VADER.
>> RIGHT.
WELL, YOU STILL MIGHT BE IN SOME
OF THE SHOTS, YOU JUST WOULDN'T 
KNOW IT, RIGHT?
>> Jimmy: YEAH, WHAT ARE YOU 
GOING TO DO.
I WAS IN A "ROCKY" MOVIE ONCE.
ROCKY IV, CLET, OUR BAND LEADER 
AND I WERE TEENAGERS GROWING UP 
IN LAS VEGAS AND WE WERE FROM 
NEVADA WITH FAKE I.D.s TOO, 
AND -- 
>> YEAH I HAD YOUR FAKE I.D.
THAT'S WHY IT DIDN'T WORK.
>> Jimmy: YOU MAY HAVE.
AND WE WERE JUST WAY IN THE 
BACKGROUND MOVIE, LIKE IN A 
CROWD SCENE.
>> ARE YOU ACTUALLY IN IT OR DID
YOU GET CUT TOO?
>> Jimmy: NO, THAT ONE, WE WERE 
LEFT IN.
YEAH.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: YOU CAN BARELY SEE US 
BUT I GUESS I HAD MY FUN IS WHAT
WE'RE SAYING.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: "CREED" WAS A VERY BIG
SUCCESS.
THAT WAS A BIG DEAL.
SYLVESTER STALLONE ACTUALLY CAST
YOU IN THE MOVIE, RIGHT?
>> SORT OF RYAN COOGLER WAS 
INTERESTED IN ME.
AT THE TIME, HE WAS THINKING 
MAYBE HE WANTED A MUSICIAN TO 
PLAY THE PART BECAUSE SHE IS A 
MUSICIAN BUT APPARENTLY 
SYLVESTER STALLONE WAS UP ONE 
NIGHT WATCHING B.E.T.
>> Jimmy: OKAY.
>> I KNOW.
AND HE SAW ME ON A SHOW, MUCH 
LIKE THIS, I THINK, 106 AND PARK
OR SOMETHING, I WAS GIVING AN 
INTERVIEW AND HE WAS LIKE, THIS 
IS OUR GIRL.
AND I WAS SO GRATEFUL THAT I 
NEVER ASKED HIM WHY WERE YOU 
WATCHING B.E.T.?
BUT HE'S SUCH A MULTIFACETED 
HUMAN.
HE WATCHES BLACK ENTERTAINMENT 
TELEVISION.
>> Jimmy: MAYBE HE WAS WATCHING 
WITH HIS DAUGHTER OR SOMETHING 
LIKE THAT AND IT JUST SO 
HAPPENED THAT YOU POPPED UP.
SO, RYAN COOGLER ALREADY KNEW 
ABOUT YOU BEFOREHAND.
>> YEAH, I HAD MET WITH HIM AND 
MICHAEL B. JORDAN TO DO A 
CHEMISTRY TEST, WHICH IS LIKE SO
AWKWARD.
YOU KNOW, THEY JUST PUT TWO 
PEOPLE IN A ROOM AND, LIKE, HOW 
DO THEY GET ALONG.
>> Jimmy: IS THAT REALLY HOW 
THEY DO IT?
>> YEAH, SORT OF, SOMETIMES, 
WHEN YOU HAVE TO PLAY A LOVE 
INTEREST.
>> Jimmy: WHAT KIND OF ROOM?
IS IT LIKE A HOTEL ROOM?
WHAT IS IT, A CONFERENCE ROOM OR
WHAT?
>> HOPEFULLY IT'S NOT A HOTEL 
ROOM.
I THINK WE'VE ALL LEARNED 
RECENTLY IN HOLLYWOOD IF THEY 
SAY COME TO A HOTEL ROOM, MAYBE 
NOT.
>> Jimmy: DON'T GO TO THE HOTEL 
ROOM.
>> SOMETIMES IT'S LIKE A PLACE 
IN SHERMAN OAKS.
IT'S LIKE AN OFFICE SPACE.
>> Jimmy: AND ARE THEY WATCHING 
YOU TO SEE IF YOU HAVE 
CHEMISTRY?
WHO'S IN THE ROOM?
>> TYPICALLY THE DIRECTOR, THE 
CASTING DIRECTOR, HOPEFULLY -- 
>> Jimmy: THAT'S SO TERRIBLE.
>> IT'S AWFUL.
IT'S REALLY, REALLY TERRIBLE.
>> Jimmy: BUT YOU MUST HAVE HAD 
CHEMISTRY.
>> YEAH, APPARENTLY THERE IS A 
PART OF THE FOOTAGE WHERE HE IS 
CAUGHT LOOKING AT MY BUTT.
>> Jimmy: OH, IN THE CHEMISTRY 
TEST.
>> YEAH.
>> Jimmy: SO THEY'RE FILMING THE
WHOLE THING TOO.
>> YEAH, TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE 
AWKWARD.
>> Jimmy: DID HE HAVE OTHER 
CHEMISTRY TESTS WITH OTHER 
POTENTIAL ACTORS?
>> I BELIEVE HE DID.
>> Jimmy: AND THEN I GUESS THEY 
DIDN'T HAVE THE -- YOUR 
CHEMISTRY WAS THE BEST CHEMISTRY
OF ALL THE CHEMISTRIES.
>> I GUESS SO.
AND I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT 
CHEMISTRY SO I DON'T KNOW WHY.
BUT APPARENTLY IT WORKED.
I DON'T KNOW.
>> Jimmy: GOING IN, DO YOU KNOW 
THAT'S WHAT IS HAPPENING AND 
THEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO 
FAKE ENGAGE WITH HIM EVEN IF 
YOU'RE NOT HAVING CHEMISTRY, YOU
HAVE TO CREATE IT, RIGHT?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> Jimmy: WOW, THAT'S SO 
STRANGE.
>> YOU DO.
WELL, NO, I MEAN, YOU HOPE THAT 
YOU JUST HAVE A NATURAL RAPPORT.
I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW, WHY DO WE 
LIKE ANYBODY?
IT'S SUCH A WEIRD THING, 
CHEMISTRY.
>> Jimmy: IT IS A WEIRD THING, 
ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEBODY'S 
TAPING IT AND THERE'S A BUNCH OF
CASTING DIRECTORS GOING, I 
WONDER IF THEY LIKE EACHTHER.
>> BUT MY FAVORITE THING IS TO 
IMAGINE EVERYONE HAVING SEX SO, 
LIKE, JUST ALL THE TIME.
>> Jimmy: YOU MEAN WITH EACH 
OTHER?
>> YEAH.
LIKE THE WHOLE AUDIENCE.
>> Jimmy: WE GOT TRINIDAD AND 
TOBAGO HERE TONIGHT.
>> OH, YEAH.
I SAW THEM BACKSTAGE.
>> Jimmy: THEY'RE PRETTY HOT FOR
EACH OTHER.
>> I SEE IT.
>> Jimmy: WELL, CONGRATULATIONS.
I'M SORRY I'M NOT IN THE MOVIE 
WITH YOU BUT THIS MOVIE THAT I 
AM NOT IN IS CALLED "CREED 2."
IT OPENS IN THEATERS A WEEK FR
