taika being a Dad™

[@cbh4166]

roman’s chronic inability to hold a mic is killing me

[@jenniferwaters6988]

Such a wunderkind as a first time actor and a thoughtful, aware kid. He gets a pass on low mic awareness.

[@stormcloudsabound]

that's a child

[@adennis80]

He's like the most childish grown-up and the gayest straight man ever. I love him

[@razorsweeney]

I love this description. Im using it to describe Taika from now on

[@kyhxx]

. “lüigi”bnk.f°4m sftcre ^

[@axeldude7051]

“Gayest straight man” how is that so accurate I literally can’t believe this guy is married to a woman

[@boneymacaroni13]

I believe he's queer, but that description is great😂

[@jackieboyd2152]

you don’t have to be straight to be in a relationship with an opposite sex tho

[@gracebrown3074]

I love how much different Taikas responses are with New Zealand or Aussie interviewers vs the rest of the world 😂

[@madcapriflette3359]

Because we get dark humour. People from other nations would definitely find NZ and Australia humour questionable so they wouldn't rather risk it.

[@gabriellealtman]

taika is a dad, so he absolutely knows how to bring out the best in kids. also he just seems like a nice guy.

[@BigSmiggles]

I wanna meet him genuinely one of the nicest directors I've ever seen

[@drizzo4669]

is he married? Wasn't he just having a threesome with his employees?

[@santyx_eorrr]

a nice guy that cheats on his wife?

[@sulblazer]

Well, just because someone is a father doesn’t mean they know how to bring out the best in children. I mean it’s a nice sentiment…and for what it’s worth, I do wish you’re right; being a dad automatically makes a person a great father figure/leader…but unfortunately, that simply isn’t reflected in our reality.

[@kingshit420w]

Haha yea the actions of this man do not speak good father figure .. you guys have to be kidding me ..

[@SickBoiFanatic]

Taika has said that he looks at things through the eyes of children and it shows in his work he’s a natural who has never lost his wonder for the world of tv and movies

[@sarahsander1181]

oh my god 2:30 with the dabbing is my favorite u can tell how hilarious taika finds this kid

I pray for Taika with his Star Wars movie. Either way he’s prolific and deserves all of his success

[@brianastruss7027]

Taiki would actually make an excellent Freddie mercury. Getting similar vibes.

[@MerijnH]

Nah, he's not a very good actor (great director tho and incredibly funny). Rami Malek got an Oscar for his performance, I'd say he did fine haha

[@tsundereyoongi]

​@@MerijnHwhat do you mean he's not a good actor 😭

[@MerijnH]

@@tsundereyoongi he's an incredibly funny guy, but I said he's not a _very good_ actor. He can play funny side characters, and that's about it. He does that very well, but being good at one specific character type doesn't make you a very good actor in my eyes.

[@paivapradhan1410]

3:41 Taika and Roman are matching lol

He's a lovely man.

[@baokachi9767]

JD voice is fake and forever changing accents

[@selmahare]

@@baokachi9767 I was about to say something similar. Depp’s voice doesn’t strike me exactly as totally faked, but is definitely forced to sound deeper than what it is. This guy’s voice is totally natural.

[@newwavepop]

it has irritated me for years, back in the Jump street days in interviews Depp sounded normal. now he talks with this fake pseudo native American accent with a little of his hero worship of Hunter S Thompson thrown in and deeper than it actually is. he has a fake voice and that is sort of lame.
