From Corolla One Studios in Glendale, California, this is The Adam Corolla Show. Adam's guest today, Luke Hemsworth. Plus the news with Alicia Krauss.
And now, Adam Corolla. Luke Hemsworth, all the way. You're in Australia right now, right?
I am. I'm in Australia. My backyard, it's 6 a.m. Trying to keep quiet because everyone's still asleep because they're super lazy. Oh, yeah. It is funny.
I know.
We'll get to see the daylight break. We won't see the sun, but it'll get light back here, which will be cool.
I've spent a lot of my life tiptoeing around not to disturb lazy people when I was up to do work. I worked as a carpenter for a million years, and the hours are 7 a.m. You start at 7, you know?
Yeah, I worked as a floor sander for years, sanding and polishing floors and installing timber floors. And yeah, I mean, I'd be lucky to leave at seven. That was a late day. I'd be leaving at six to drive an hour and a half to jobs and stuff.
Oh yeah. The rule that my foreman had is you guys were rolled out. He would say rolled out, meaning your extension cords and hoses and stuff was all plugged in and you were working at seven. So however long it took you to get there, you'd have to leave at six something from your house. Uh, so you're working a drum sander, uh, A disc sander, you'd have like an edger, and then you'd have a big drum in the middle. Yep. And if you left it too long in one place, it would gouge the hardwood.
Yeah, yeah. There's a real art to that, as there is to carpentry, right? You've got to go through your paces. You've got to be a learner. You've got to stuff things up in order to learn the hard way. But I really enjoyed it. I really enjoyed going to a job that – you know, kind of looked shitty or disheveled or, you know, in need of some love. And then a couple of days later, you have this beautiful finished timber grain floor. And it was almost like having a blank canvas and then, you know, finishing the artwork. There's something really satisfying about that.
Yeah, I know. I agree. And by the way, the movie is Beast. It is out in theaters. That'll be April 10th. It's got Chris. I'm sorry, brother. It's got Luke in it, Russell Crowe, and it's got the other brothers and brother Chris and Liam. We know all about them. But back to this, back to this. I feel like standing back and having a sense of accomplishment and seeing what you've done and seeing what your labor has created is really satisfying. And in our new digital world, people don't really experience that. They sit in a cubicle.
What was Luke's journey from manual labor to acting?
They do data logging. There's no beginning. There's no middle and there's no end. That part at the end, when you see what you've built or seen what you've finished, it's really satisfying and it's important to the human experience. And we're not really getting that anymore.
Yeah, I think it's really important as an artist, too. You know, I think that's that artistic drive is that it's quite often not even – about the end product. The end product is, you know, sometimes vindicating, but sometimes it's not. Sometimes the most enjoyable part is actually, you know, the doing of the thing. And that's a big part of acting for me is that sometimes Why would you do it if you didn't love being in the trenches and being at work and sitting in your trailer and having to entertain yourself?
