11:30 am
no dares thinks. we dare to ask. because we taste awful like absolutely awful 1st game coded then a 2nd wave they say the 3rd is coming now the virus is mutating and i walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused as to holly gets not. meanwhile patients who've recovered from cove it started to report some unusual aftereffects the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think that's one of those things where it's like researches all over the world or trying to determine the many aches pains and other problems and then turn it all into numbers showing my hair. but if you like your 581113 there this is throughout the day my hair just freakish out loud various sources reports that couvade didn't just
11:31 am
leave for 35 percent of recovered patients look at you so you don't pull the bullshit cause the bush. just there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as post coded long holos i talk to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul or. on larry king now mission impossible for a lot of stars simon pegg this one is not for us. there's an old that. is never gets older because each time we sort of ratchet it up a little bit so it never feels like we're repeating themselves time when we left tom and room for us in new zealand to. police got sequence rebecca ferguson and i
11:32 am
would genuinely a little teary because it was like well say that you know you didn't know i met the new director at a strip clubs and the 1st female director post office on which it's on and she is just brimming with ideas and enthusiasm plus we have a lot of sherry was back in the days of his life and will had missed it and he powerbomb me wrestling on his bed and broke his thumb and it was an incredible. injury he's done kind of stripping down there but he's had so much every to know just of the it's all next on larry king. our special guest is mission impossible fallout stars simon pegg the fan favorite actor rose to prominence as the creator and star of the british sitcom spaced his
11:33 am
son on the massive big screen success writing in starring in shaun of the dead hot fuzz and the world's end simons also lent his talent to global box low blockbusters like the reasons billboard movie rather the player one and of course star trek and star wars franchise whose mission impossible fall out is in theaters today july 27th. what will what is your take on what. i was amazed when i soar actually i mean it was a long shoot we were signed before we were on the air it was a it was a 144 days over about a year of shooting slightly protected by the fact that tom broke his ankle but then recovered in record time. but seeing it all as one together it was a surprise even to me knowing what happens in the film are still adrenalized by you know how the hell do they do those things they just do it i mean this is i think what happened was we did ghost birds ago. well the 4th one tom hung on the burj
11:34 am
khalifa in dubai and when we watched it with an audience there was a palpable sense of wonder from the crowd because they could see that he was doing that and i think tom really keyed into that and realized that it means something to do stuff for real you know not in an age when you can do anything at all now and it's a great tool to have c.g.i. is open up so many doors for us creatively but there is a level of the touching moment when you watch something that you know is artificial when you know it's actually happening suddenly there's a sense of what you know you get that tension and it's real and so he just does it all was he an hour proper yeah he learned to fly it trained for a year and a half to fly aerobatic in a helicopter which that demonstrates a level of commitment which i don't have you know it's crazy you've been in how many nation and bought this one is my 4th. so is it now old hat. no it is never gets old hat because each time we sort of ratchet it up
11:35 am
a little bit so it never feels like we're repeating ourselves it feels like we're always trying to win they'll say top ourselves in the u.k. to top yourself means to commit suicide. which is an entirely irrelevant comparison sometimes. you know it's always exciting i learn new things i learn to drive a speedboat for this and go in the water is the best one i've seen i feel like that and the music is phenomenal and yeah i want you you want every senior in our blessing thank you long ball for did the score as has done an amazing job just playing on that like your friend sort of classic theme in that original theme it's time wanting. you said about tom cruise the thing about cruise is he cares so much about the audience and the audience's response he's so committed to making films he will literally put his life on line in order to get it done or to deliver something which no one else does you know he explain him i mean i know
11:36 am
a long time interviewed him many times been with them. explain that kind of intensity he is just very committed and dedicated to his craft you know any understands the landscape of filmmaking now understands what audiences are looking for and he is literally at pains to deliver that you know and so. i mean i'm not saying he's not reckless he's not a crazy man is not like ya do anything at all these stunts are very well designed he has an amazing team around him he's careful he's very safety conscious he worries about the rest of the cost like him other hand like he comes on set when we're doing our stunt sort of clucking and worrying about us which is hilarious considering what he does but he just he just as prepared to go that far what was the most nervous scene for you underwater stuff was quite i mean in the movie you can't even see it is me that is me and everybody was in the wetsuit during that moment as i had to go inside
11:37 am
a structure and that was that was fairly riding that boat that was gone they gave me the river sign for like 2 hours the just bomb up and down and that was it that was like a holiday it was fun but i didn't see nearly to into the real. fun movies to make or are they another day of hard work i'd say a little bit of both you know i mean they take a long time and the days are long sometimes you're going and you won't shoot all day and then you'll just go home because they didn't get round to you and some days you're working all day and it's very difficult but it's always fun any time you get you know when tom's on so there's always a sense of you making something you know large and interesting and it's never boring when he's around the nice really ruined. well technically what we were and we started off in paris we shot in london we shot in queenstown new zealand the kashmir because of the question is very contested so we couldn't shoot as real. and that was it really they went to norway to pop it right that the big sequence at the
11:38 am
end on the cliff is a landmark in norway called puppet rock they were on that cliff they were on that list because they were. so. there's no faking. how long can this franchise keep going you think why i think the simple answer is as long as he can and he doesn't really so show any signs of slowing down it's amazing i think roger moore was a year older when he did a view to a kill and is pretty sedate in that movie compared to tom who's doing more physical action than he did in any of the previous films of $55.00 so you know i'm i mean treat enough. oh and tell your son that you were terrific oh thank you it's a is. i sent out a tweet if you don't like mission impossible for out take your pills to shift test or. it's like. he's never late
11:39 am
be here i don't like or. something about this guy you just. give me the creeps or. i'm relaxed you're sounding explicit or does he sound relaxed here he sells to or followed these i'm not terrified. it's entirely possible to be relaxed and extremely uneasy at the same time. you do all the time she to know he does i'm supposed to believe that you are perfectly relaxed right here if a doctor anyway waiting to buy black market plutonium from a site i want you to see big version he said it's easy to say you're in the found want to be in the field tough guy like this i would like to be. that was a clip from mission impossible fallout we're jopling is today friday july 27th and you look back at the start of your career did you see yourself doing big budget
11:40 am
action films no not at all how'd that come about for. well i mean we did spaced which is a sitcom for channel 4 in the u.k. . and myself were on set one day and we decided it would be fun to make a zombie movie and i think powered by naivety and just sheer enthusiasm we managed to get that done in shaun of the dead and j.j. abrams so sean of the dead and literally called me at work one day and go writing hot fuzz us the sequel to shawn and and just said hey it's j.j. abrams would you like division mission impossible 3 as is tends to do is very forthright and i said yes and then did a couple of days in that movie i think became friends with j.j. quite quickly he asked me to do star trek and then ghost protocol happened i mean i have a lot to thank judge a for you know he's been the architect of much of my sort of. career and i don't think they're going to kill you or do you i don't know i don't think so you never
11:41 am
know when you get to. the only comedy relief well i think the thing about benji is that he's like a member of the audience you know he's the guy that says the kind of things we would say in that situation he questions it he draws attention to the absurdity and in a world of like super secret agents that's kind of funny to actually have a human voice in it all it's not like it was cracking gags and it should be and is a lot of laughs in this yeah i think tom is very funny in this is that is because ethan is kind of a bit see you know he's questioning himself and tom plays vulnerable very well and like if you see movies like jerry maguire or even an action movie legend tomorrow he place people who often with faults he played brilliantly i think you were side by geek i kind of i guess you know you made you notice everywhere now simon yeah i mean you know it's it gets more and more as you are in more stuff i suppose you started in comedy right i did yeah is that your preference no really i started as a stand up because i've graduated from university having done
11:42 am
a drama degree and kind of felt like that was a way to have some autonomy rather than just become an actor and wait for the full . entering and then i got back into acting through comedy in the 1st acting i did was comedy sort of specialized in comedy but it's not the be all and end all for me you started your own production company called stolen pictures yeah stolen picture would nick frost tell us about true seekers truth seekers is is a show that we're writing and i don't think we're going to be in it like a doubleheader are going to be i think nick's going to take one of the main roles. it's a comedy about sort of paranormal investigators and we decided to stop production company because we wanted to have some ownership of what we do most of what we've done is owned by other forces so we thought we'd star own little shingle and t.v. seems to be an incredibly creative and exciting place at the moment you know like that yeah i mean that seems to be where a lot of the the kind of mid budget stuff that used to be occupied by films that
11:43 am
were made for $3540000000.00 now all that stuff seems to be made on television there's low budget indie movies and these huge movies and everything in the middle now seems to be migrating do you have a particular interest in the paranormal. only in a sort of not not in any way that would suggest i believe in it. i'm a bit of a rationalist in those bags but it's certainly comedy gold i understand you're in the next star trek true yeah well i yeah as long as they want the what they call the calvin cost is the new it's the rebooted sort of version of the shatner era and i'm scotty as far as i know so yeah i met the new director clarkson who is the 1st female director for starters and which is exciting and she is just brimming with ideas and enthusiasm i can't wait to work with her and you play scotty i when the show shooting down our ministers and i were sort of in soft crap at the moment i
11:44 am
would imagine next year at some point early next year you like getting involved. going do things with of formal costars in there as well as ok i mean like this a mission impossible it's like getting the band back together you know you don't see each other for a couple years we stay in touch but everyone's all so busy and then you come back and it's like you know we were never apart and what's it like when you see the final product. thrilling always you know it was very particular star trek beyond which i co-wrote with doug duncan you know that was a real delicate mission impossible ironically and to see that finished was an absolute joy and you also told made a lot of scenes in mission impossible work cut yeah i mean the way that we created it the way that chris mcquarrie wrote it he thrives in a situation where he's being forced to think on his feet so he sort of wrote it we started with $33.00 pages and he kind of wrote as we went and i always say he was like in wallace and gromit the wrong tries as well as
11:45 am
a drama is riding the train and laying the track in front of the train as it's moving that's how chris writes so he did action scenes they were big scenes that night i think after the 1st test screening the note was just too much action just that it's ridiculous but that was the case so you cut all of the scenes out there are some big moments that were on the cutting room floor and still to and i have volunteered yeah yeah it could have been a beast but no one's heart can race for that long so they cut the yeah you're right when we were turned secret talents guilty pleasures and the biggest risk in a game of if you only knew with mission impossible fallout star simon pegg stay with us.
11:46 am
and 2040 you know bloody revolution. the demonstrations went from being rolled to be peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it you know we're here to put a premium list put pretty would put him in the eye neighbor lose out on the bling needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of 2014. those who took. it in the studio doing in dollars to assist you in these and other. humor and prosperous and democratic.
11:47 am
simon pegg mission impossible fall out is to rethink it opens today friday july 27th ok we play a little game of of you only knew who was your childhood celebrity crush carrie fisher biggest risk you ever took biggest risk of it took all my goodness. studying drama i guess you know when was the 1st time you realize you were famous. somebody came up to me in the street and said hello and it was overwhelming and surprising person from history you'd like to portray on screen is a great question. man that's i would need to cogitate over a long period in history book to come up with an answer that maybe someone's in music history maybe a beatle something john lennon maybe you know a little bit. non hollywood job oh i was
11:48 am
a lifeguard in a public swimming baths in gloucester in england you good i never had to go and i think that's the group of never having to draw a weapon i never had to go actually go into the pool but i police that with maximum intensity. was your least favorite part about hollywood. the the that the kind of superficiality of it sometimes you know you sometimes feel like you're being talked up by people who just want something from you i've got a good experience i think overall in the people i've met have been surprisingly nice you expect worsening what animal you do you wish you could talk to my dogs or i wish i could talk to my dogs do you wonder what they're thinking all the time i think i know what they're thinking they've got very expressive faces but. yeah you just got you got to wonder what i think and they have it easy to dry them are you absolutely true what's the best piece of advice you ever got. identify the
11:49 am
thing that you love to do and then try and do that for a living that's what i always tell my daughter unify whatever it is trying to do the thing you love doing your hobby trying to do that as your job is what i've done for 61 years ago and it has not worked that work i think is it is not work right what do you mean larry. this is not one of them and i know exactly i feel the same way it was the worst piece of advice you ever got. there are so many answers the question. probably where those shoes. got these these innocent action scenes from mission impossible to fall out that gave you the most anxiety. larry that i can honestly say most days there were and there was anxiety the helicopter sequence because you can't stall a helicopter if that helicopter stalls it drops you know and the things that tom
11:50 am
would was going to be doing were clearly very very dangerous and when we left tom and henry and chris in new zealand to to complete that sequence rebecca ferguson and i were genuinely a little teary because it was like well see you then you know we don't know if we see them again so that was a stressful day amazing scene it's incredible it's a wonder they did it and how long is it take i think it took about 2 or 3 weeks to pick up the whole sequence unbelievable it really is that people up there flying with thing oh yeah and then there's you know there's the pursuit copter there's the 2 coppers that are in the show i mean it was there were like 10 or 12 helicopters in play any one time it was. the mc you sent me a clip from the video monitor of tom just hanging on to the cargo bag just like the same old same old you won't believe it that's one of the but one of the great scenes of a scene you know in a movie things we americans get wrong about british culture our teeth on as bad as
11:51 am
they used to be. think we've taken a leaf out of the american dentistry book i don't know that we're all sort of thankfully. passion intelligence everyone thinks of as if you britain i don't have television it's crazy i know i was being the brits get it wrong about america. but you don't get irony that that seems to be a constant thing is all they don't get the american sense of an irony is incredibly sophisticated the reason that misconception comes about is because you don't use it socially as much as we do because you're not as ashamed of your emotions as we are so americans are slightly more open more inclined to clap and cheer and smile and emote whereas we're so ashamed of ourselves that we constantly undercut our off the limbs with sarcasm and that's why the myth of rises place we'd find you on a day off our home was the biggest misconception about simon pegg that i live eat and sleep and breathe science fiction and stuff like the. best
11:52 am
memory from the set of mission impossible of. possibly if i had to pick maybe the paris days when we were driving the speedboat through the canals in the lights were shining down and it was so cinematic just being there they clear the whole river yeah they gave us the road of paris were incredible they gave us the sky and the streets and the river and they'd never done that for any film and it probably won't do it again they were just very keen for people to see paris as being the beautiful place that is it wasn't long after the battle plan attacks and i think they felt like they wanted to give paris back in a very visual sense is not acting then what i might be doing light special effects make up a quite friendly with greg nicotero who is the e.p. on the walking dead and he does all the zombies and i'm always loved all that stuff simon pegg in 10 years i hope so. as well you'll be here at the mission impossible all of a shorter screening the other night it is. sensational funny
11:53 am
and action scenes and some they cut out to see the ones they cut are some they will see and yeah i would out of scenes from it opens today and you will thoroughly enjoy it we were flooded with social media questions we have with you ok at the mullen on twitter how have you up your approaches to killing zombies evolved. well on a day to day basis they remain fairly he's referring to shaun of the day i figured . i was the you know a blunt object always we don't have to reload a cricket or a club you know the heavy reliance on ordinance can be your downfall why are we fascinated by zombies because they're us you know they're them they're that they're the manifestation of our own destiny they are death walking and that's our greatest fear so there's only is that is the absolute distillation of our primary fear it's our dead julian bozo on the larry king blog what makes your bond with nick frost
11:54 am
so special i think because it existed before we worked together you know we were friends before we were colleagues and i sort of dragged him into acting because he you know didn't have anything else to do at the time and and we've been able to maintain a friendship through work as well but he was my friend before he was my sort of work partner and still and remain so you know and i think that that probably shines through in our collaboration i interviewed him in britain they did probably years ago he's terrific guy he's a great guy jackson badger on the larry king now blog you and deep roy are the only 2 actors to appear in star trek star wars and dr who any other major franchises you want to workin. no not specifically i mean i was trying to you know take each job as it comes and if something comes up which is in a franchise then i will regard it as this as any other job you know about it's not like i'm trying to take them off it looks like i am. and are thomas on the larry
11:55 am
king nob blog if you could make a sequel to are the shaun of the dead heart was or the world's end which one would it be and what would it be about i think the only one of those films that could possibly get a sequel is hot fuzz just because you know that that could be a continuing sort of action style cop thing. i don't know it feels like it would have to be because hot fuzz was about my character going to the countryside to be a cop in a small time it would have to be about nicholas angel taking nick frost character danny to the big city you have to be like that like crocodile dundee to was you know that sort of a lot kareen orly on the larry king now blog do you think you've been affected by same is there any downside to it. you can't help but be affected by in some way as long as it doesn't change who you are as i read a great quote once that said fame doesn't make you. a bad person it just brings out the bad person you always were so i think as long as you stay connected to who you
11:56 am
really are you can weather well said green also as do you and nick frost never fight so what do you fight about we had a fight once. back in the day it was actually a visible fight like a real fight but it was a play fight we had a lot of sherry it was back in the days when we were slightly more had mystic and he power bombed me wrestling move on to his bed and broke his thumb and it was an incredible injury eastham kind of just was dripping down but he'd had so much sherry didn't notice till the next morning. is there a key to longevity in the business i think just a stay frosty you know and keep evolving mutate and survive the and also self generate it's important i've always found it's important to generate my own material as well as whites other people to ask me to do things i would tell you i love the work i love this movie so enjoy the mixer like i think is
11:57 am
a big thanks to my guest simon pegg he sure has a mission impossible all out in theaters today july 27th you will love it as well as you can buy me a twitter against things c n x. the world is driven by. one person. no dares thinks. we dare to ask.
11:58 am
someone who is a singer's intimacy through she's going to reclaim mccomb that you may. not be. given those who just kept on forever of what they think i didn't hear that oh. i'm talking about is a very. international community a. community used to the community of the only true for. me just to look at those who feel that is the slow slow slow use of the need to ease. the pollution of the world food used to cook in brazil so there are new calls for cooperation in antarctica is everything refuse to believe that we live in front of t.v. with all the above the. 5 airhead level the fact of all day but i decided not to
11:59 am
take this life. with my goddamn tell you that. right now there are 1000000 people who are overweight or obese it's profitable to self frenzy and sugary and salty and addictive it's not at the individual level it's not individual willpower and if we go on believing that would never change this obesity epidemic that industry has been influencing very deeply the medical and scientific establishment. so what's driving the obesity epidemic it's corporate profit.
12:00 pm
