Taika Waititi: The Puppy Interview

To celebrate the release of his latest film “Next Goal Wins,” Taika Waititi went in front of the camera to answer questions about making his new feel-good sports film, wanting to work with the final Hemsworth brother: Liam, and reflecting on his wedding to pop star Rita Ora last year. All the while, Taika plays with some of the most adorable puppies to date! #TaikaWaititi #NextGoalWins #puppyinterview

Finally, interview counterparts who can keep up with Taika’s energy.

[@TabethaAurochs]

😂 So accurate ❤

[@Kamechan98]

I don’t know, Jeff Goldblum was a worthy contestant for most chaotic interview partner 😂

[@laurenbendik2006]

I like when he says ‘who cares about anything anymore’

[@ankejl3830]

This is the most focused interview he has ever done. Distracting him with puppies so he doesn't get bored with the questions was a move xD.

[@nardo218]

seriously. we've figured it out. he's massively adhd.

[@wanderinglizzy]

that is an adhd mood

[@mossydreamz]

i love how this is the most collected, focused junket interview i've ever seen from taika and all it took was Four Puppies worth of ambient irregular (adorable) stimuli to even out his usual heaps of energy

[@GargLassie]

Missed chance to ask him about Our Flag Means Death. He loves talking about that show. 🥰

[@giulia6344]

4 puppies in the room and he still has the strongest puppy eyes game

[@vilburbur]

He has said that he was a cat person before but cats broke his heart too many times. And here we are now.

[@alexisgrey3633]

He later pointed out something in an interview about how people started to hate cats cos some pope in the middle ages decided they were evil.

[@zuriraefairley2973]

So cute he is a good actor our flag meansdeath

[@adale2771]

I LOVE his voice.

[@kingofdragons7]

[@Dangomancer]

really nice of rhys to lend him one of his 'battle jackets'

[@gracehowell.]

"Who cares about anything anymore?" - also me when surrounded by puppies

[@sophiaisabelle027]

Taika must be having a good time. He couldn't seem to grapple that he would be surrounded with all these furry friends. He got too overwhelmed by their presence.

[@JustHereForCats]

I adore Taika Waititi so much. He’s got so much charisma, and he seems like a genuinely fun person

[@kkyulmin]

he’s ridiculously beautiful

[@caravaggiooo]

I love this man

[@Hydplant]

He somehow makes every outfit a win.

[@Lizzy-e8b]

Now give us a kitten interview with Rhys!!

[@tanyafollovver]

This is the best thing Taika has ever done

[@iluvmusicforlife21]

Taika is so chaotic in the best way. This should be the only way he does interviews from now on. 😂

[@iheartthesmalls]

I love him so much❤ I've watched Boy a hundred times!

[@lordender_kitty_official]

This man is an absolute vibe. He seems like the kind of guy who, if you were buddies, would both give you random, inspirational quotes as well as sack you when you entered the room.

[@milliebysh526]

thank you to whoever organised this

[@RobMombie]

I can’t get enough of this man 😍

[@djm122270]

Love this dude! So genuine and real. Plus, hilarious AF!

[@rmattox1]

Should have asked about Our Flag Means Death, you cowards! 😝

[@mariairimie1663]

this was probably filmed before the actors strike, next goal wins is a project he could have talked about without crossing the picket line

[@suuuuuuup3792]

it’s cool that you like that show but he’s done a lot of stuff and this is a press tour for a specific movie chill

I finished Hunting for the Wilderpeople before finding lots of interviews that introduced Jojo Rabbit. This is a magnificent day watching two masterpieces.

Did we just forget about him signing an Israel aid letter or

[@alexisgrey3633]

He has since been liking pro-palestine stuff, funny how he is the only person to receive so much backlash about this and so often its from white people so obviously wanting to alleviate their own white guilt by revelling in the fact that a POC messed up, while they continue to act like Keanu is too good for this world when he was literally seen cosying up with Netenyahu.

[@PurpleMoonFlute]

​​He is definitely not the only person to receive backlash lol and just because he's not white doesn't mean he shouldn't be criticized. Other POC people have called him out too.

[@hannahwalters3602]

Very cool video. Thank you for sharing! If you’re reading this I hope you have a great day and know. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3:16‬ ‭NIV

[@Heyya01]

This is the guy who made Thor a goof, and alienated many MCU fans.

[@alexisgrey3633]

At least he hasnt got a history of making so many awful and maliciously racist, sexist, and creepy tweets like. Marvel darling James Gunn has.
