Hi, I'm Simon Peg and this is the wired autocomplete interview.
0:06
I'd asked my daughter that actually.
0:08
She hadn't.
0:08
She's a big fan of this by the way, the autocomplete interview.
0:11
When I told my daughter I was doing this, she was very excited.
0:16
Thank you very much.
0:16
What is Simon Peg's address?
0:18
New movie.
0:18
Uh, it's Mission Impossible, the final reckoning, the eighth installment in the Mission Impossible series and my sixth movie after 20 years of chasing around after Tom Cruz.
0:31
And what a movie it is.
0:31
I thoroughly recommend seeing it theatrically cuz it's huge.
0:35
Gigantic.
0:38
When is Simon Peg in Mission Impossible?
0:41
All the time.
0:42
I mean really since 19, no, since 2005 when I joined for Mission Impossible 3 as Benji Dunn who at the time was a sort of laboratory kind of guy.
0:53
He was just in the labs at the IMF analyzing hard drives and stuff and then he decided to enroll in the field agent program between three and ghost protocol.
1:03
I always say it's because he had such a fun time like guiding Ethan through Shanghai and he kind of got off on the rule breaking a little bit and he thought, "Right, I'm going to be an agent."
1:12
And then ever since then I've been a secret agent no more so than in the new film which, you know, you see Benji get to a point we've never seen him before and that was extremely fun to play.
1:23
What I mean, a crazy evolution from, I mean I was pretty tubby in Mission Impossible 3 through to being what Benji becomes in the final reckoning.
1:30
That's taken 20 years and um it's worth the wait.
1:34
What's the evolution of film making life?
1:36
Um the whole, the, the Mission Impossible has two lives.
1:39
It has the life where it was done by different directors.
1:43
You had uh Brian de Palmer, John Woo, JJ Abrams and Brad Bird.
1:46
And then Christopher McQuary came in um as a writer on Ghost Protocol and then thereafter directed the next four films.
1:57
I mean we were still using magazines of film on Rogue Nation before we switched to digital.
2:01
The digital switch meant that the camera could be so much more agile.
2:05
You know, we could have uh more complicated rigs that didn't have to carry great canisters of film, do stuff that we hadn't been able to do before.
2:14
Um, not least when Tom jumped off the cliff on the motorbike, we had like cameras on the bike so that as it cartwheeled away, it caught Tom falling behind it.
2:23
And then we had to go down into this valley to retrieve the bike and the cameras on the off chance that they didn't kind of get broken.
2:23
And uh and we got some good footage from that.
2:23
Where was Simon Peg when the lights went out on Top Gear?
2:23
When was Simon Peg?
2:23
I beg your pardon.
2:23
I was on Top Gear.
2:23
I think I did it like in the early 2000s.
2:23
Oh, I did it for Hot Fuzz and then I think me and Nick did it maybe for the World's End.
2:23
Had a blast doing the laps.
2:23
I broke the gearbox on two cars and that's why I'm banned from driving.
2:23
Is Simon Peg good friends with Tom Cruz?
2:23
No.
2:23
I hate the guy.
2:23
Yeah.
2:23
I mean, we've worked together for 20 years and um it's been a real pleasure to sort of, I guess, see behind the uh the myth.
2:23
You know, Tom Cruz is is a mythic figure and he's very smart in the way that he kind of curates that because it it it maintains a degree of mystery about him.
3:12
And in that regard, he feels like a movie star in the old-fashioned sense, you know, back before social media, back before the kind of celebrity journalism you have these days when you only ever saw these people at awards ceremonies.
3:31
You know, it's been a pleasure to kind of see behind the curtain as it were, and see a kind of quite a normal person, would you believe, with just a an extraordinary commitment to his craft, just a 100% 100% of the time.
3:48
That's why he's where he is.
3:50
It's not a mystery.
3:50
It's not a kind of, you know, it's there's no kind of secret code to how you become Tom Cruz.
3:56
You just do it the way he's done it.
3:59
And I couldn't do that.
3:59
I couldn't dedicate that amount of passion to one thing and he does it and it's extraordinary.
4:07
I go walk my dogs and stuff.
4:09
Well done, Tom.
4:11
Okay, here we go.
4:11
Does Simon Peg live in America?
4:16
No, Simon Peg does not live in America.
4:19
Simon Peg live...
4:19
I was just talking to myself in the third person.
4:23
I live in the United Kingdom just north of London and uh I I'm happy there.
4:29
My whole family lived there.
4:29
I've come over to the States and you know, lived, rented a place for a while.
4:34
My kid was born here.
4:34
Uh Tilly, she is an American citizen.
4:34
She has an American passport.
4:34
But you movies are made all over the world now and you can kind of be anywhere to make movies.
4:34
You don't have to live in Hollywood to make Hollywood movies.
4:34
And I'm happy at home because, you know, I've got all my nice stuff next to me.
4:34
As much as I delight in coming to America, I live in the UK.
4:34
Can Simon Peg actually draw?
4:59
Yeah, I can draw.
4:59
Not as well as the characters I've played.
5:02
The artists who did my work, uh um Jim Murray and Jason Brahill mainly did my my artwork in space.
5:10
And uh Paul, they're fantastic artists and have drawn comic books and video game designs and way better than me.
5:19
I can doodle.
5:19
I'm a much better drawer than my wife who draws.
5:26
I mean, it's it's incredible when you see her actually.
5:29
You could probably hang her artwork in galleries.
5:31
It's it's that weird.
5:33
She draws a cow.
5:33
It looks like a puddle.
5:36
It's very strange.
5:36
But, you know, I love her and partly for that.
5:41
What is Simon Peg like in real life?
5:47
Boring.
5:47
I don't know.
5:47
I mean, I'm just a kind of regular guy, you know.
5:50
I enjoy uh normal things.
5:52
I watch a lot of TV and movies.
5:54
Yeah.
5:54
I try and keep things very normal in my private life because things can be so extraordinary in my professional life, not least, you know, being in Mission Impossible.
6:03
It's nice to get back to just regular things, watering the garden, walking the dogs, just, you know, having a cup of tea, watching a bit of TV.
6:11
I'd like to think that I'm nice.
6:13
I mean, if you've ever met me and I've been grumpy, it might be that I was just having an off day.
6:18
I hope not.
6:20
I'm I always try and be pleasant with people cuz I know what it's like when you you see someone and you think, "Oh, I like, I know them."
6:25
It takes a lot of guts to go up and say hello.
6:29
So, you try and accommodate that as much as you can.
6:31
But if I've ever gone, "No, I don't want my picture taken with you."
6:35
It's because of I'm having a bad day.
6:38
Come see me on a different day.
6:40
I might be nicer.
6:40
Simon Peg Beatles.
6:43
This might be my Beatles impression.
6:43
I do a couple of, you know, Paul is sort of like this, you know, talks like that, you know, and uh Paul came to the premiere of uh the New York premiere of Mission the other night and I was walking down the stairs and I heard, "Hey, Simon."
6:56
I turn around.
6:56
It's Paul McCartney who I've met a couple of times over the years.
7:01
Lovely guy and an idol of mine.
7:03
And I love love love the Beatles.
7:05
And then there's sort of George Harrison talks like this bit sort of back there.
7:09
Ringo talks right at the front of your mouth like this, you know.
7:13
And then John was more sort of contemplative, you know, as he got a bit older.
7:16
I'm a massive Beatles fan.
7:16
There is no pop music without the Beatles.
7:21
They are the progenitors of everything that followed.
7:23
It's incredible to me that the Beatles existed for about eight years.
7:27
When you look at the breadth of of style and tone and innovation that they sort of brought the world in the short period of time they were alive, it beggars belief.
7:36
I am in love with the Beatles and that's a fact.
7:41
Thank you very much, Caleb.
7:41
Was Huey based on Simon Peg?
7:46
That's Hueie from The Boys.
7:48
Uh, yes, he was.
7:48
The comic book of the boys which appeared in 2008.
7:53
I think Derek Robertson who's the artist drew Huey as me for some reason.
7:59
I think he'd seen Space Star TV show and obviously thought I would never amount to anything and sue him.
8:04
So he he drew Huey as me and um I found out about this and was delighted and got in touch with Derek and said thanks.
8:13
I'd never, you know, had been had a cameo in a comic book before.
8:17
And then DC, uh, who published uh, The Boys at the time before they decided to walk away cuz it was too extreme, sent me a message saying, "Please don't sue us."
8:25
And I I it didn't even cross my mind.
8:28
I was like, "Oh, that's really cool." when they came to make the TV show of The Boys and Jack Quaid, one of my favorite human beings on Earth and my television son now, uh got the role of Huey, uh Eric Cric the the producer, asked me to come and play Huie's father, which is why I am in The Boys and delighted to be so.
8:47
It's an incredible show.
8:47
For me, the definitive Huey is Jack.
8:49
Where did Simon Peg and Nick Frost meet?
8:53
We met on a balcony in Criclewood, North London in 1994.
9:00
He was a waiter at a restaurant that my girlfriend worked at.
9:02
She said, "There's a guy at work that I think you might like."
9:06
And I did.
9:06
And we ditched her and we ran away together.
9:12
And then I started to write Nick into things that I was making because I just wanted to hang out with him more.
9:18
And Nick hadn't any plans to become an actor, but obviously took to it like a duck to water.
9:22
So that is where that relationship was born and he was very on that night.
9:27
I remember he was I could feel that he was trying to impress me.
9:31
He was doing a lot of his bits.
9:32
The thing that impressed me the most was that when I left the party he was asleep next to a gigantic speaker holding a can of redstroke and I thought, "This kid's got something."
9:40
Does Simon Peg like Invincible?
9:43
Yeah.
9:43
I mean, the back back in the day when I I don't read comics so much anymore, but I remember uh when we made Paul, we we put my character Graeme in an invincible t-shirt because I think I was reading it around about that time.
9:58
Robert Kirkman, of course, same author as The Walking Dead.
10:02
We wanted Graeme and Clive to be very sort of up on what was cool.
10:06
Obviously, this is way before it became a TV show.
10:07
We're pretty much bleeding edge, me and Frost.
10:10
But like I say, I don't I don't I don't read comics so much anymore.
10:14
I'm old.
10:14
I'm 55.
10:14
How the how to meet some...
10:18
I don't know.
10:18
I've started doing a a conventions here and there cuz they're really fun.
10:24
I don't know what's what's a nicer thing than to spend a weekend getting loved.
10:27
So, if you come to a convention and I'm there, we can meet and we'll have a little chat.
10:34
I'll probably charge you an exorbitant amount of money for a signature.
10:38
That's not my decision.
10:39
That's what is part of the thing.
10:39
If I do it for free, catch me outside on the way out.
10:43
Just come up and we'll do it for free.
10:47
What is Simon Peg's best movie?
10:52
That's not for me to answer.
10:55
I mean, I think a lot of people would probably say Shaun of the Dead in the same way that a lot of people say Star Wars is their favorite Star Wars movie because it was like the first one and that was our first my first time leading a movie.
11:06
Different people say different things.
11:08
Some people say Hot Fuzz.
11:09
Some people say The World's End.
11:11
Some people say Paul, some people will say Star Trek.
11:14
And and it's hard for me to say cuz it's such it's such a subjective thing, you know, whether you like films or not.
11:19
I have films that some people love and some people hate the same film.
11:23
What is the Simon Peg trilogy?
11:26
Well, I mean, there's been a few.
11:28
Uh the Cornetto trilogy, which is Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, and the World's End, which I made with Edgar Wright.
11:33
Uh we wrote together and Edgar directed and I uh appeared in the Cornetto.
11:38
For those of you here in the United States of America who don't know what a Cornetto is, and I pity you, is an ice cream confection from the UK, which is basically a a sort of um an ice cream cone with a a topper.
11:49
They come in like regular flavor, which is like chocolate and nut or strawberry flavor or mint flavor.
11:56
And now there are lots of other Cornettos as well.
11:58
When we did Shauna of the Dead, Edgar was absolutely adamant that the strawberry Cornetto was a panacea for hangovers.
12:05
Like if you had a hangover, strawberry Cornetto, a little bit of fruit zest, bit of sugar, boom, you feel better.
12:12
So we had Ed Nick's character in the film ask for a Cornetto the morning after a heavy session.
12:20
And at the premiere of Sha of the Dead, we got free Cornettos and we were just a bunch of young filmmakers, you know, we didn't know that you could get free ice cream and we were so blown away by the fact that Cornetto had basically provided us with a fridge full of Cornettos.
12:36
We thought, "Let's put it in the second film as a reference back to Sha of the Dead."
12:40
So Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman are eating Cornettos in the car in Hot Fuzz Hot Fuzz at one point.
12:47
I think we repeated the one anything from the shop line from Sha of the Dead.
12:51
So self-indulgent.
12:51
We realized after that we needed to put a Cornetto in the third film in The World's End which you glimpse very briefly at the end.
12:58
We really played the long game with the reveal of that one.
13:00
And then they just became known as the Cornetto trilogy because it is a singular thread running through all three films.
13:07
So if you ever come to the UK, get yourself a Cornetto.
13:11
They're really delicious and um have a think about me when you're eating it.
13:16
There is also Star Trek Star Trek Into Darkness and Star Trek Beyond that I um was in and I wrote Star Trek Beyond with Doug Jung.
13:24
Shout out to Doug.
13:26
And I've been in six Mission Impossible films, which is two trilogies, and quite a few Ice Age movies as well.
13:31
So, they're not trilogies.
13:33
So, I've answered my own question.
13:35
What movie?
13:35
Simon Peg, Things Come True.
13:39
Oh, that's Yeah.
13:39
Okay.
13:39
That's absolutely anything, which is a movie I made with Terry Jones, who directed The Life of Brian, one of the greatest comedy movies of all time.
13:47
And I was in with the other Montipython team, and Robin Williams was my dog in it.
13:52
And it's a crazy movie that Terry wrote about a guy who is gifted the ability to make anything come true that he wants to happen.
14:02
It's a crazy movie and it was lovely to work with Terry.
14:04
He was a legend of British comedy and um someone I grew up loving.
14:09
And it's a bit dafted, but if you've got a spare 90 minutes, give it a look.
14:14
What movies are Simon Peg?
14:17
Oh, I've missed this bit.
14:17
What movies are Simon Peg together and Nick Frost in together?
14:22
Okay, so Shauna of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, The World's End, Tintin, Paul.
14:28
I think we're kind of both in one Ice Age movie, although not together.
14:32
TV show Spaced.
14:32
So, we work together as much as we can, Nick and I, mainly cuz it means we can hang out, particularly now.
14:39
We used to live together when I was young.
14:40
When we were both young, we could see each other every day, and that was great.
14:44
But then we got married, we had children, we moved to different parts of the country, we text every day, but we don't get to see each other much.
14:51
So making a film or a TV show is the perfect way to uh to hang out.
14:56
So if if for nothing else, we'll do it again for that reason.
15:01
That's all the boards.
15:01
That was a lot of fun.
15:03
It's very funny to see what people are asking, but you know, ask me in future and I'll give you a straight answer.
15:08
Thank you very much, Wide.
15:08
I had a blast.
