Hi So how I thought you're so known for your fashion, the first time I met you, I'd be in a much more fashionable outfit than this. This
No, I think it's really super fashionable.
Oh do you? Okay, well if I have your seal of approval then. How are you?
I'm good. How are you? That's my side.

I was going to show you I showed you my fangs, didn't I? That's right. Oh my gosh. I forgot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Such a good memory.
People camped out overnight at Comic Con to see you.
I I know, I know. That was a lot of incredible worrying levels of devotion. I worry about people's safety and what they're eating and how they're keeping washed and
You don't want to cause anybody's untimely demise.
No, I don't. I don't. But I mean, it's it's it is remarkable and it kind of you know, it knocks the wind out of you. It's it's a testament to how passionate people feel about what you do and and that's that's a huge fuel for me to to keep doing better and and give them stuff to be excited about next time though.
So I wanted to ask both of you, who would you camp out overnight for tickets for? I wasn't just I
Well, I'm back at you. Back at you.
Each other? Definitely. That's right. We're kind of friends. We're about to dress like each other. You are dressed alike today.
It was a total wardrobe malfunction on both of our parts. Maybe thinks it's a blue screen where it might be done. We just rather float our heads and leave our bodies somewhere else.
Great minds think alike. Since this is the last of the trilogy, I'm going to ask you a first and a last question. Your very first kiss.
Oh, it must have been about 13, I think.
Late bloomer? Okay.
Yeah, that was that was it. That was quite late bloomer, yeah. Yeah. Very prudish kid, Were you? Yeah. Okay. Yes, her name was Emma. Emma Davis.
I love that you're just keeping it at first names. That's good.
Oh, yeah. If she ever sees it, she'd be mortified.
No, she'd be really excited. Are you kidding me? My first kiss. Second guest: Very first kiss ever. Um, junior high. I won't say her name. Um,
Probably wants you to. Second guest: I'm not going to say her name. Uh, I wouldn't say it was a huge success.
It usually isn't the first time. What about you?
It was probably the back of my hand. You know, you know.
Do you practice on your pillow?
No, I didn't practice on my pillow. You'd no practice on the back of my hand.
Oh, that was probably better because a little bit more like you get, yeah, lint in your mouth. So, when was the last time you laughed uncontrollably?
Yes. Today.
What happened?
On the beach. Um, I think I was watching someone struggle with a surfboard and I was I you know, I don't like to laugh at the misfortunes of other but they were doing it a very good natured way, but it was just there was a loss of the surf was a little stronger than this person with a surfboard. And eventually, we went to help them, but it was it was very funny. Yeah. Second guest: I think it was actually watching This Is The End. Have you seen that film? Oh, James Franco and Seth Rogen and I mean, it is the most brilliantly funny film and I've seen it about four times with various different friends. And I laughed uncontrollably at nearly every single scene in that movie. I don't know why. It just it is the most extraordinarily funny film.
The last time you cried in a film? Do boys cry watching films? I don't know. Second guest: Uh, yeah. Uh, yeah, no, of course. We have we we two have emotions.
So the last time you laughed uncontrollably. Second guest: Oh, I think it was with my husband just before I got on the plane. He's really infectious, but I won't tell you what it's about.
Okay, okay, that's good to know. Um, last night me and Andy Serkis, uh, we snuck out about 2:30 in the morning and visited the uh, the kids sleeping waiting to get into Hall H. And uh, we were kind of waking them up and saying, hey guys, what's going on?
That is such a great like celebrity, oh my gosh moment. Second guest: Yeah, it was really fun. We were out there for about an hour just kind of taking pictures and and uh, and uh, everyone sleeping. I know getting into bed with
And the celebrity wakes up a random person who's camping out to see people like you. What's the reaction? Second guest: Yeah, they're a little kind of like, wait, what? What do you where I'm what? But yeah, super excited. Yeah.
This one I watch YouTube clips. I watch uh, any I've got a very sort of strong sense of schadenfreude, which is not a great thing because you're laughing at somebody else's misfortune but it's like, you know, people slipping down or falling over on YouTube. It always makes me crack up.
You guys spend such long hours on set. You both work so much. Sort of eating fresh and staying in shape. How do you How do you
