Simon Pegg: The truth about Benedict Cumberbatch

you two first of all well done brilliant film oh you are right in the mix in this one it was just like one giant workout yes exactly what it was it kind of was what you know we have to kind of be worked out a lot we did work out together actually and it's kind of fun to have a reason to work out and get in shape it's hard when you you know you're doing a job and there's no time to go at the gym a lot of people find it hard to actually fit into their schedules not because they're lazy or they don't want to work out it's just like when do I do that when do I dedicate that amount of time but when it's part of your job it's joyous so yeah we got in in good shape in the California sunshine didn't week green juice green juice running up and down stairs happy days lifting weights now we're back to London Guinness and PI's and everybody describes her father and utopium set whatever I'm having the best time I know it's nauseating I feel like it's nauseating I'm saying it but it's not untrue sometimes Simon's a bit mean come on what else happened that was bad um someone hurt themselves there was an accident I fell on my bum you fell on your bum and I've never really mean I only mean to you cuz it makes you laugh does because you're not you cuz you're used to people sort of like worshipping at your feet cuz you're such a princess and that's great that's great you're you Sarah no Alice all you're great in our lights I just try to keep it real yeah what idea is all crowded see people say I'm great you're yes you know Alice has been alice was raised on a cushion basically of privilege and she needs to be leveled immediately whenever I see her because she needs to know that she's just a normal person and not some beautiful that was really good that was really bad I didn't buy that at all the scene is cut dude get not that change from delivery where I was raised to beautiful I didn't even in your eyes at all these eyes I was trying to get across the idea that I'm I mean this is entirely my thinking your devotion juice good suck this is how you play it and Simon it's just a beautiful and if you can get him back tell us one thing about Simon that might surprise us hockey Mills the thing about Simon is he wears it all on his sleeve doesn't he we know exactly what's wrong with them just by looking at him all my psychosis is a very place that's that's called being a comedian probably the most difficult predicament in the world I would say not easy being other than you know it's not easy they have to go out and make people laugh we had a discussion the other day about when Simon would do stand-up again I suggested it would be better if he did it in this underwear when very fit yes that usually gets a lot of attention absolutely but what do you think about that I think it with the idea of doing stand-up again for me I know you didn't ask this question you have to be very you have to be very match fit to do stand-up like you have to do a lot of gigs at it wait to take a lot of time or anything I think going to there again see that's a weakness so weakness can you tell me as a woman what's it like being so close to Benedict Cumberbatch that's a woman which is beta well it's a woman are you a woman yeah um I what's it like being so close to him you mean physical I'm physically close to him do I get the shivers to cumbers bumpers lumbers do I want to lick him the thing is the Benedict that everyone sees is a little different to the Benedict you know I the Benedict that the real Benedict is like an OE thoughts like that and is very ungainly and he's not a why called dis praxic which means he can't dance and he can't sort of like physically mmm rooms are but you switch a camera on the guy who becomes this super sexy live Sherlock super intelligent it's like cut insight we get any good and y'all have Benedict forget someone's gonna see that and they're gonna know so what after a take what Benedict will be shepherded into a small room and he just kept there and we tell him he's there for you know I just stay there Ben will be at wheel going up dinner and lit stuff and he just sits there like playing with his you know we've got a little toy realized like a Rubik's Cube it's simple it's like a four it's like four not six so the Benedict that you that all the girls love and stuff it's it's a myth I would have thought that girls would love Chris Pine as well do they not I do love him he's almost a bit obviously handsome I love that that Chris is actually too handsome to be what you answer for your own good fine it was banned excite if I tried really hard maybe I could go he's attainable is that what Benedick feels you know what I think is with Benedict I think it's cuz he wants to have a family I think that's what gets women as well he's giving off those pheromones I don't think Chris gives off this phone Chris wants to have lots of families and there's nothing wrong with that Benedict wants to have fun but it wants to have a family and I think that's what women respond to is that he I think and I think the thing about him is he will actually be a good dad and a good husband I think he'll be loyal and I think he'll be caring so I think we'll women respond to that Benedict you think about Bennett is that he's Hanna in all seriousness isn't he's such a delight that's not - that everybody knows it there's a drive for him yeah he's an idiot you set me up with him what haven't you gone in to meet him yeah but he didn't ask me out which was a shame I'm surprised about that to be honest truth be told I'm actually with a face like yours surprised he didn't ask you out it's so maybe we could circle back and rearrange that meeting I think he's is he uh singular a singularities I would not know him I know him and Martin Freeman were tight for a while

I wonder if "stop making jokes, I might pee myself" has ever caused a man to stop making jokes.

[u/Coldbeetle]

“Was that any good”, can’t say it without making the face.

[u/DrBrotatoJr]

Yeah he roasted Benny pretty good, but actually I think his line about Chris Pine was the best thing in that clip

Simon Pegg pranking the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness

If there was ever any doubt about whether Simon is one of the funniest people alive. He seems so effortless at it too.

[u/dutch_meatbag]

Damn the girl doing the interview was thirsty.

[u/skpicky]

"The thing about Benedict is that he wants to have a family."
"Chris (Pine) wants to have lots of families."

Best line of the interview.

[u/SixtySecondGod]

What’s with all the facial expressions from the interviewer?

I want a full-blown British comedy costarring Simon Pegg, Benedict Cumberbatch, Hugh Laurie, and Helen Mirren. How can we make this happen?

Edit: I'm sorry I didn't include your favorite. There were, obviously, too many to list. I was going for a reasonable cross-section whose interactions I could imagine being terrific.

Also, it goes without saying that Laurie brings Fry, Cumberbatch brings Freeman, Pegg brings Frost, and Dame Mirren brings whomever she wants.
