Mahershala Ali and Stephen Colbert's chat about cloning gets very deep, very fast

If you were given the chance to clone yourself, what would you do?

What would the man do if he were faced with that ethical dilemma in Swan Song?

I've thought about that a lot, and I've seen how the film came out. In the video above, Ali tells Colbert that he would lean towards the natural order of things.

I walked away from the film with the idea that we all have a better self, that we all have a potential, and that we all have an inspired self. We all have the ability to be our best self. I want to be present and fulfilled in the time that I have on this Earth, and make the best of it. I hope and pray that I maximized my time when my number is called.

Ali could have gone into motivational speaking if he hadn't become an actor.

Swan Song will premiere on Apple TV+.
