>> KIT, I DIDN'T REALIZE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU'VE BEEN YOU ON "THE VIEW." >> YEAH. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. >> WELCOME. WE MET AT A KNICKS GAME A WHILE BACK. I'M SITTING THERE AND KIT'S SITTING THERE. WE'RE JUST SITTING THERE WATCHING THE KNICKS PLAY. ARE YOU GOING TO GO TO ANOTHER GAME? >> I'M GOING TOMORROW, TOMORROW NIGHT. DON'T ASK ME WHO THEY'RE PLAYING. I HAVE NO IDEA. >> I HAVE THE SCHEDULE. >> I'M THE ANNOYING TOURIST WHO TURNS UP AND TAKES THE FRONT SEAT. >> YOU LIKE BASKETBALL? >> YEAH. >> IT'S A NEW YORK THING TO DO. >> YES, IT'S A VERY NEW YORK THING. >> NOW I'M GOING TO THE KNICKS GAME. >> YOU AND YOUR WIFE ROSE LESLIE HAD A BABY BOY DURING THE PANDEMIC. THAT MEANS HE'S ALREADY TURNING 2. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS STAGE IN THE PARENTING GAME? I CAN SAY, LIKE, 2 TO ABOUT -- IT'S PROVING TO BE ABOUT 6 -- CAN BE REALLY HARD. >> YEAH. HE JUST TURNED 2. HE'S -- I THINK HE'S SMART. >> THAT'S GOOD. >> I THINK HE'S SMART. HE CAN COUNT TO LIKE -- HE CAN COUNT TO 20, WHICH IS MORE THAN ME. >> THAT'S IMPORTANT. >> HE'S DOING REALLY WELL. WE'RE GOING THROUGH POTTY TRAINING AT THE MOMENT. >> OH. >> IT'S THE WEIRDEST THING. YOU FIND YOURSELF CELEBRATING THE STRANGEST THING. >> HE WILL EVENTUALLY BE ABLE TO USE THE TOILET. >> AT THE MOMENT HE'S USING MY WALK-IN WARDROBE. >> MY SON USED THE STAIRS. >> YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL YOU SAY GOOD FOR YOU. IT'S NOT YOUR POOP. IT'S THEIRS. SOME PARENTS GET SO EXCITED IT BECOMES ABOUT THEM. >> YOU FIND YOURSELF IN A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF INSANITY. WHEN HE WALKS INTO YOUR WALK-IN WARDROBE AND TAKES A DUMP ON THE FLOOR AND YOU SAY WELL DONE. >> YOU CAN TELL WHEN THEY WANDER OFF. >> AND IT'S HAPPENING SOMEWHERE. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR NEW FILM. IT'S CALLED "BABY RUBY." IT'S A PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER. BIT SCARY. THERE'S A BIT OF HUMOR IN THERE AND SOME VERY REAL SOCIAL COMMENTARY. YOU AND NOEMIE MERLANT PLAY BRAND NEW PARENTS WHO GO THROUGH THE HARDSHIPS OF WHAT THAT TIME IS LIKE, BUT TO THE MOST INTENSE DEGREE. AND YOU STARTED WORKING ON IT WITH A YOUNG BABY AT HOME. THAT'S FASCINATING. WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF IT? JUST LISTENING TO THAT CRYING IN THE CLIP WE SHOWED DROVE ME NUTS. >> I HAD A YOUNG -- MY BOY WAS YOUNG WHEN I TOOK THIS ROLE. IT'S PART OF THE REASON I DID. I WAS A NEW PARENT AND RESPONDED TO THE SCRIPT. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS THINKING LEAVING A SCREAMING CHILD AT HOME TO DO A MOVIE. NOT ONE BUT TWO SCREAMING CHILDREN. WHEN ONE STOPPED SCREAMING, YOU HAD THE OTHER WHO WAS STILL SCREAMING. IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT FILM. IT'S A HORROR/THRILLER, BUT IT'S ALSO A COMEDY. IT SITS IN THAT MIDDLE GENRE. IT'S ABOUT SORT OF POST-PARTUM -- WOMEN GOING THROUGH POST-PARTUM. >> THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT KILLING A RELATIVE TO SAVE THE WORLD? >> NO. WELL, WAIT AND SEE. >> WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE FILM IT TOUCHES ON THE LACK OF ADEQUATE HEALTH CARE FOR NEW MOTHERS HERE IN THE U.S. THERE'S A HIGH BLACK MORTALITY RATE WITH CHILDBIRTH. WERE YOU AWARE OF THAT BEFORE WORKING ON THIS FILM? >> I WAS MADE AWARE OF IT BY B BESS, THE DIRECTOR. I WAS SHOCKED. IN MY COUNTRY THERE'S A LOT OF POST-PARTUM CARE. AT TIMES IT WAS ALMOST TOO MUCH, SOMEONE ALWAYS KNOCKING AT THE DOOR TO SEE IF WE WERE OKAY. I WAS AMAZED IN THIS COUNTRY THERE'S NOTHING. >> THERE'S NONE. >> THERE'S NO ONE TO SEE YOU FOR SIX WEEKS. >> AND YET SHE HAD THREE. >> YOU WRAPPED THE VERY POPULAR "GAME OF THRONES," EVERYONE LOVED THAT, YOU PLAYED JON SNOW FOR EIGHT YEARS. YOU WENT THROUGH A DIFFICULT TIME AFTER THAT AND SOUGHT HELP. HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN YOUR MENTAL HEALTH THESE DAYS? >> YEAH, I DID. I MEAN, I DID. I THINK IT'S -- YOU KNOW, I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN TALK THERAPY. I HAVE I WENT THROUGH A LOT OF THAT AFTER I WENT THROUGH THE THING I WENT THROUGH. I STILL HAVE TO THIS DAY SUPPORT GROUPS I GO TO AND I TALK AND THAT HELPS ME. I DO A LOT OF EXERCISE WHICH STOPS MY BRAIN FROM GOING CRAZY. I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THE FACT THAT MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE, ESPECIALLY FOR YOUNG MEN, TO OPEN THEM UP TO HELP THEM TALK ABOUT THINGS. IT'S THE -- YOU KNOW, IT SHOCKS ME AGAIN THAT THE BIGGEST KILLER OF MEN UNDER 45 IS SUICIDE. THAT'S A CRAZY FACT. >> YEAH. WE DON'T ENCOURAGE MEN TO TALK. >> NO. >> DON'T ENCOURAGE MEN TO TALK. YOU KNOW, WE -- WE HAVE A WONDERFUL COUNTRY, BUT THERE ARE THINGS WE DON'T DO FOR OUR CITIZENS THAT ARE SHOCKING. YOU KNOW, WE SHOULD BE TAKING BETTER CARE OF PARENTS. WE SHOULD BE TAKING BETTER CARE OF OUR YOUNG MEN AND OUR YOUNG WOMEN. YOU KNOW, WE GET -- >> WE SHOULD HAVE BETTER HEALTH CARE TO COVER THOSE THERAPY SESSIONS. >> YEAH. THINK ABOUT THE FACT THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HEALTH CARE TO COVER ANYTHING AT ONE TIME. THIS IS NEW FOR US. >> OBAMACARE. >> OKAY. SORRY. >> YOU HAVE TO LET THE BIGGEST "GAME OF THRONES" FAN AT THE TABLE TALK. I BELIEVE IT'S THE GREATEST SHOW OF OFF TIMES. YOU'RE FABULOUS. RAPID FIRE QUESTIONS. GEORGE R.R. MARTIN WROTE ON HIS WEBSITE THAT IT LOOKS LIKE A JON SNOW SPIN-OFF IS HAPPENING. ANYTHING YOU WANT TO SAY ABOUT THAT? >> THANKS, GEORGE. THERE'S NOTHING I CAN TELL YOU ON THAT FRONT. >> YOU MET YOUR GORGEOUS WIFE ON THE SHOW. DID YOU TRY TO KEEP IT QUIET? >> YES, WE DID. I THOUGHT WE WERE TSUCCESSFUL AD NOW I LOOK BACK AND IT WAS SO OBVIOUS. >> WHAT SHOW HAVE YOU LOVED LIKE PEOPLE LOVE "GAME OF THRONES"? >> SO MANY. IT'S BETWEEN "SOPRANOS" AND "BREAKING BAD." >> WHAT WAS THE HARDEST SCENE TO FILM IN "GAME OF THRONES"? >> THE HARDEST SCENE TO FILM IN "GAME OF THRONES"? I WOULD LOVE TO SAY IT WAS ONE OF THOSE WHERE I WAS IN A BATTLE. >> CAVES OR WHERE IT WAS REALLY COLD. >> IT WASN'T? >> IT WASN'T. IT WAS TRYING TO RIDE THOSE DRAGONS, WHICH IS JUST THE MOST UNCOMFORTABLE THING YOU'LL EVER DO IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. >> WHAT WAS THE MOST FUN THING TO FILM? >> BACK TO THE CAVES? >> PROBABLY THE CAVES, YEAH. THE CAVE WAS A LOT OF FUN. >> WHAT OTHER CHARACTER WOULD YOU HAVE LIKED TO PLAY? >> I DON'T KNOW. PROBABLY -- I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO BE NED STARK I THINK. JUST ONE SEASON, ONE OF THE BEST STORY ARCS EVER. >> I HAVEN'T BEEN RIGHT. FINALLY, WHAT'S YOUR BEST MEMORY FROM THE SHOW? >> I MEAN IT'S SOPPY, BUT SEASON TWO AND IT WAS MEETING ROSE, YEAH. >> OH. >> IT'S THE CAVES. >> ALYSSA SAID SHE'S THE BIGGEST "GAME OF THRONES" FAN, BUT WHOOPI HAS AN ACTUAL IRON THRONE IN HER DRESSING ROOM. >> THE SEAT IS HEATED. [ APPLAUSE ] >> I HAVE TO TELL YOU. WE TRIED FOR AS LONG AS "GAME OF THRONES" WAS ON TO GET Y'ALL TO COME DO THE SHOW. BECAUSE OF THE FILMING SCHEDULES AND STUFF -- THIS IS A SHOW THAT FROM DAY ONE WAS MY FAVORITE AND STILL REMAINS WHEN I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING FUN AND I GO THERE. IT'S A GREAT SHOW. THANKS FOR DOING IT. >> OUR THANKS TO KIT HARINGTON. HIS FILM "BABY RUBY" OPENS IN
