Seated Ballet w/ Laverne Cox, Luke Wilson & Trevor Noah

YOUR BROTHER OWEN WAS HERE RECENTLY, AND RAN IN OUR RACE
>> James: THIS IS USAIN BOLT.
HE'S HERE.
I'M ABOUT HERE, AND WHAT DID HE TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS?
WHAT DID HE TELL YOU ABOUT THIS?
>> HE TOLD ME HE WAS GOING TO BE RACING AGAINST HIM, LIKE SOMEHOW
IT WAS GOING TO BE A COMPETITIVE RACE.
OWEN, POOR GUY, HAD HIS SON FORD COME UP TO RACE WITH HIM AND
LOOKED LIKE HE WAS STANDING STILL.
>> James: DO YOU THINK YOU COULD BEAT OWEN IN A RACE?
>> YEAH, IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE ATHLETIC EVENTS, PROBABLY SHOULD
GET IN TOUCH WITH ME.
>> James: YOU WERE A FAST RUNNING.
>> I WAS VERY FAST IN SCHOOL.
I USED TO GET CHASED BY MY MOM.
BEFORE SCHOOL AND AFTER SCHOOL.
THEN I PARLAYED THAT INTO A CAREER IN ATHLETICS.
I WAS VERY, VERY QUICK.
>> WOULDN'T SHE DO A THING WHERE YOU WOULD TAKE OFF FROM HER AND
SHE WOULD SAY, STOP!
THAT GUY STOLE SOMETHING FROM ME!
>> YEAH, WROTE ABOUT THAT IN MY BOOK.
WHEN I GOT OLDER, MY MOM COULDN'T CATCH ME.
SO WHEN SHE REALIZED I WAS BEATING HER, SHE WOULD SHOUT,
STOP, THIEF!
PEOPLE IN SOUTH AFRICA WANT TO HELP CATCH THIEVES, SO I'D BE
YELLING, I'M HER CHILD!
I'M HER CHILD!
I'M DODGING STRANGERS IN THE STREET.
THEY WOULD CATCH ME AND MY MOM WOULD BE, IT'S COOL, THIS IS MY
CHILD.
THEY WERE, LIKE, WHAT KIND OF FAMILY IS THIS?
SHE WOULD FLICK OFF HER HEELS WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING AND GO,
TREVOR!
AND THE HEELS WOULD COME OFF AND SHE WOULD START RUNNING.
I HAVE TO INSANE.
IT WAS MAGIC.
>> James: WERE YOU AN ATHLETE IN SCHOOL?
>> I WAS A DANCER.
DANCING IS VERY ATHLETIC.
I STUDIED BALLET AND MODERN ART AND DANCE.
I HAVE A BACHELOR OF ARTS DEGREE ( CHEERS AND APPLAUSE )
>> James: DID YOU SHOW OFF BALLET MOVES?
>> CAN I SHOW YOU SEATED?
>> James: SEATED BALLET IS MY FAVORITE!
( LAUGHTER ) I'M INCREDIBLE AT SEATED BALLET!
>> THAT'S ACTUALLY WHAT I WAS GOING TO SHOW YOU.
>> James: CAN YOU DO THAT?
OF COURSE YOU CAN'T.
>> THAT WAS REALLY BRILLIANT.
>> James: SHOW US WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
>> SO THIS IS AN ATTITUDE DEVONT.
DEVONT IS TO THE FRONT AND -- YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.
>> James: DOESN'T FEEL LIKE MUCH OF A MOVE.
>> HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO HOLD THIS?
>> UNTIL THE COMMERCIAL.
>> James: YOU'RE SHAKING BY THE WAY.
>> DIFFERENT WHEN YOU'RE STANDING UP.
>> IT'S PROBABLY A LOT EASIER.
BALLET IS MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU'RE STANDING UP.
