"Silly boy!" Simon Pegg on Shaun of the Dead, Mission: Impossible and pranking Benedict Cumberbatch.

If you're in the UK, you can watch more of Simon talking to Ali about The World's End, Ice Age, Tin Tin and his experiences with legendary director Steven Spielberg on BBC iPlayer here: bbc.in/3bLszuN

Ikr lol

[@knives6683]

I hope we see a cameo in The Witcher at some point. I know he is good friends with Henry.

[@cameronclarkhull]

Simon is such a British treasure. First found him on Doctor who when I was a kid. Loved his movies ever since

[@monkeyjoe70]

Gary King should have been mentioned in this, honestly one of his greatest characters

[@cinziacutelle9942]

You're right, damn! 😎

[@hannahschu9664]

"the idea of assaulting a pensioner with such terminal force just was an immediate" - I don't know how you can come up with that hilarious lines so smoothly. Always love listening to interviews with Pegg, he's just such a genuinely funny guy.

[@chrisrowe7472]

Shaun of the Dead is older than I am, and yet it is still one of my favourite movies.

[@downinthewaves]

you just have to love simon pegg there's no other way. I wish he had more recognition, I've loved him for years

[@cinziacutelle9942]

Yeah, really you have no other choice because he's always the same funny ,sweet boy 🥰

[@MissTayzha]

Ali Plumb is the very best interviewer!

[@alanguillermo3145]

In 2024 it will the twenty year anniversary of Shaun of the Dead. That's nuts. Can't wait for that screening!

[@aidenfielding9709]

Thats so weird, It doesn't feel that long ago at all since it released, time goes fast when you get older man

[@thats-rich]

Nuts!

[@jishnuchatterjee6775]

‘Brings back Pavlovian joy’ - that’s such a nice expression. Now to incorporate it into my everyday lingo without sounding pretentious.

[@bighuge1060]

This was a fun interview. The Neutron Cream prank footage -- the point of realization -- had me laughing out loud. Thank you.

[@davidhurtado2725]

It's interesting to see how much Ali has grown as a BBC institution. He was so chilled and relaxed with his wardrobe (amazing t-shirt by the way)

[@GemPotagueule]

1:37 That's totally me. Can't hear this track without thinking of the one and only : Shaun of the dead.

[@ezio_Winchester]

Anytime I hear the other song I can't recall then name of it but its the sad song that plays after Shaun's breakup and they are in the winchester the words are " if you leave me now you take away the biggest part of me" ed says who the hell put this on and Shaun says it's on random. Everytime I hear that song I say its on random... sorryforthe long story

[@bbcradio1]

such a good interview!

[@frigotter]

poor ben, i love them😂

[@e.carroll6164]

I thought that Star Trek Beyond was really excellent, didn't know Pegg co-wrote it. Wow.

[@elinicoritale6384]

It was great BECAUSE he co-wrote it.

[@yusufgames]

Can Simon Pegg so more movies please!

[@layne721]

I know this is a very American thing to say, but I think I could listen to Simon Pegg just sit and talk for an entire day. But yeah, Hot Fuzz! I don't think I laughed at or enjoyed the climax of a film more before or since. Bringing up the drop-kicked old lady was perfect - when I had to explain the movie to a friend I told him "It's kinda slow build, they spend alot of time setting the scene and the characters, but it all pays off. Just buckle up once he drop kicks the old lady and enjoy the ride."

[@suryashanmugasundaram7235]

Yes yes yes! All I’ve been waiting for!

Hello everyboy....we are hoping ur doing good... enjoy the day

The worst and most pointless question to ever ask anyone is 'Did you know it would become what it has?' No, of course they didn't because NO ONE CAN EVER POSSIBLY KNOW THAT.

[@peterkambasis]

Did i think this video would make me laugh so hard at the end? "Not....a sausage."
