Hi, how are you? Pleasure, pleasure, great to great pleasure to see you. We can remove this, this can be, oh wow, this is for height control for shorter leaders like this.

Thank you, Mr. Secretary General, your excellencies. I feel incredibly honored that they chose me to be the United Nations Messenger of Peace on climate change. I stand before you not as an expert. I want to do everything I can to learn more about this issue, see for myself exactly what's going on and what can be done around the world.

But it all kind of seems beyond our control. As an actor, I pretend for a living; I play fictitious characters often solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in that same way. We keep getting inundated with catastrophic news about the environment every single day, and the problem seems to be getting worse and worse and worse.

I try to have a conversation with anyone about climate change; people just tune [Music] out. If the UN really knew how I feel, how pessimistic I am about our future, I mean, to be honest, they may have picked the wrong guy.
