Young Hollywood

You look like you wanted to grab onto something.

Aaron

I kind of want to hold this. Am I Am I Can I do that? Cool. Sorry.

Young Hollywood

You were singing before we started.

Aaron

Yeah. I'll sing everybody. Young Hollywood. Can you do that with me? Young Hollywood.

Young Hollywood

Hi. Good. How are you? Here with Aaron. Nice to meet you. Nikki from Young Hollywood, or Black Widow. Depends on whatever you want to call me.

Aaron

You look like Black Widow. Okay, awesome.

Young Hollywood

And what does that do? This gives the fans a virtual experience of what it's like to talk to you. Exactly. Ready to go again?

Aaron

What do you want me to do? Hit me. You're a 15 year old girl. What the hell? Oh, god. Oh, take your tampon out, Dave. So, what would you like to ask me about Kickass 2?

Young Hollywood

Um, preparing for the role of the mother effer. Uh, how dark did you get? Did you take your your mind to a dark place? Did you work with anyone?

Aaron

When you have effer in your name, you got to go dark. It doesn't get darker than that. I'm building an evil army. Who is this guy? He's claiming to be the world's first real super villain.

Young Hollywood

Would you let us say what the name is? Actually, Let's sing it together.

Aaron

The mother efer.

Young Hollywood

Nice. You're getting it. This film This sort of like It's sort of the anti Comic Con. It's the anti superhero. It's the regular guy that can become a superhero if he sets his mind to it. He's not born with certain things.

Aaron

I don't think that's anti Comic Con. If you look out there, there are a bunch of look right here. There are a bunch of people dressed up as superheroes. You know, if you wanted to, you could just put like something on over those eyes, go out there and try and fight crime and see how you do.

Young Hollywood

And I could try and fight crime. See how you do.

Aaron

You might get your ass kicked, but you know, you never know. We're putting an end to this costume freak. If they weren't a mask, they're getting detained.

Young Hollywood

I would need tips from people like you about how to be more kickass.

Aaron

No, I I pretended to be a vigilante in the movie. I'm not trying to do that anytime soon.

Young Hollywood

You have two films here. You have Kickass 2 and you have Godzilla. If Kickass was going to take down Godzilla, what would his strategy be?

Aaron

I don't even know how you'd have a strategy taking down a great big monster. I have no strategy. I'll have to work it out with Mark Miller. I'm sure he's got an idea on that.

Young Hollywood

Comic Con for you being that you're from across the pond. Is it more surreal to you?

Aaron

You know, I still make it sort of exciting kind of festival in a way to be at because it's the only one where it's kind of run by fans in a way, you know, it's like it's a real kind of passion. People that are really excited about movies and new projects. And it doesn't matter if movies been done, or it's about to come out next year, or it's just a comic book, you know, ready to be marketed. I think it's great to be here.

Young Hollywood

Yeah, a lot of smoke up your Yeah. So, what would you geek out over here at Comic Con? Is there anybody?

Aaron

I came like four years ago, got to meet Robert Downey Jr. , which was fantastic. I'm a huge fan. I'm a fan of everyone. I saw Sam Jackson, but I almost lost it. Just because he was in Star Wars. Just because he was the second black dude in space.

Young Hollywood

Collectively his movies have made more money than anybody in the history of film. Did you know that?

Aaron

Yeah, but he's never really the star of those movies. He's always got like, you know, a couple of scenes and stuff.

Young Hollywood

Why don't you just tell him that when you just saw him?

Aaron

Because I don't want to get punched in my mouth.

Young Hollywood

Did you say anything to him when you walked?

Aaron

I didn't. He was in an elevator and it was closing. I was like, oh, there go Sam. And that was it. And he closed. He didn't open the door for you? No. He's like, oh, no, it's him. It's him.

Young Hollywood

Young Hollywood. Thank you. I love it.
