00:00We're adorable.
00:02Tell us about the movie.
00:03I'm trying!
00:04Yeah, he's a freak.
00:05Listen, let me speak!
00:07Okay, go.
00:08Boom!
00:09I was trying to bring home the dragons and you guys as well.
00:12Bring home the dragons, I was gonna...
00:13Bring home the dragons.
00:15You guys are so loved.
00:17I cannot believe the internet is awash with it.
00:20Did you guys realize, taking this on, just how much people were gonna love you this casting?
00:27No. I was terrified, genuinely.
00:31You know, a lot of people care about these movies and these characters and going into it.
00:35I think me and Nico, I can speak for both of us that, you know, we really just want to do the characters justice.
00:40And Nico and I really put a lot into it.
00:42Have you seen everything, the little edits and everything?
00:46We've both kind of been like a bit off the grid, I think.
00:48I feel like I see things sometimes, my friends send me stuff and they think it's funny or...
00:52My friends send me edits and stuff and then...
00:54But yeah, I've been sort of off it.
00:56But I think it's weird.
00:58It is strange to kind of see yourself in that way.
01:00And so I feel like there is an element of like, it's quite good to switch off sometimes.
01:04But every now and then...
01:05Sometimes I walk in Nico's room and she's watching it and she's like...
01:07We're adorable.
01:09Perfect.
01:10You are both very adorable.
01:12So I can see why there's so many edits.
01:14However, I want to know...
01:16I asked this to Kieran Culkin and Jesse Eisenberg.
01:18They gave me great answers.
01:19I can guarantee their answers will be better than mine.
01:22What is the most annoying thing that you've noticed?
01:25You've spent so much time together now.
01:27Like, what's the most annoying thing you've found about the other?
01:30I know.
01:31Congrats.
01:32Mason, it's not genuinely...
01:34Genuine answer.
01:35You're actually really not that annoying.
01:36And I think it is commendable.
01:38Because we have spent...
01:39I could say the same.
01:40We have spent a lot of time together on this press store and on this movie and everything.
01:43And he's really not that annoying.
01:44But one thing that I cannot get on board with is he does click his hands and his neck.
01:49This is it?
01:50Really?
01:51Because it is like bone chilling when he does his neck because it sounds like he's dying.
01:56And I'll literally hear it from like across the room.
01:58And you look over and he just has this like scary smile because he knows that it's my least favorite thing ever.
02:04That's weird.
02:05That is weird.
02:06Yeah, he's a freak.
02:07Okay, he hasn't done it yet.
02:08I'm looking.
02:09I'm looking.
02:10I'm looking.
02:11I was like, is he gonna do it?
02:12If you're gonna do it, don't do it for free.
02:14Nico?
02:15Oh.
02:16She's too perfect.
02:17I wouldn't say perfect.
02:18God.
02:19That's a big stretch.
02:20Yeah, that's a big word.
02:21No.
02:22But doing that, I don't know.
02:23We've been together a lot.
02:24Yeah.
02:25And I think we just kind of mesh well.
02:26Just kind of easy.
02:27We'll see by the second press door.
02:29Absolutely.
02:30Which we are.
02:31Can you see our banter now?
02:32We're just gonna be.
02:33Yeah.
02:34Dead Simon.
02:35Nico's great.
02:36Yeah.
02:37Too much time.
02:38Too much time together by that point.
02:39I mean, we get a lot of bonus features with the home release, which is amazing.
02:41And they're so fun.
02:42They really are.
02:43I didn't, however, get to know what your Viking feast would be.
02:48If you guys were putting on your own spread for a Viking feast, what would it have to have?
02:52Blueberries.
02:53Does it have to be Viking-esque?
02:54I want blueberries.
02:55No.
02:56Like what is the food where you're like, this has to be part of this?
02:57Okay.
02:58Go on.
02:59Blueberries.
03:00Really?
03:01Blueberries?
03:02Blueberries.
03:03Blueberries.
03:04Blueberries.
03:05Blueberries.
03:06Well, when I was filming.
03:07It was tragic.
03:08No, but as it I was-
03:09Stop laughing at me guys.
03:10Stop it.
03:11No, but I-
03:12Yes.
03:13Please.
03:14Listen, you let me speak.
03:15Okay, go.
03:16Film.
03:17Like I was saying.
03:18Okay.
03:19Just stop.
03:23Tell us about the blueberries.
03:25I'm trying!
03:29I also said, does it have to be Viking-esque?
03:31Because she said no, so it doesn't have to be...
03:37I was on set.
03:39Okay, listen, I tried blueberries for the first time
03:41on the set of How to Train Your Dragon.
03:43Oh, that's actually quite sweet.
03:45Yeah, I couldn't finish it because everybody was making fun of me.
03:47God!
03:49I was just talking about my blueberries!
03:51And the chicken and the...
03:53I'm gonna kill you.
03:55Keep going.
03:57The Viking Feast would be Nico's head.
03:59I think, oh, God.
04:01I think Viking Feast...
04:03Well, mine wouldn't even be anything remotely.
04:05She's like, chicken and rice.
04:07No, I know what mine would be.
04:09Mine would be the cookies that they would make us on set.
04:11We're out of control.
04:13They were white chocolate and I had about...
04:15Be honest, how many of them did I have a day?
04:17Like, it was actually an issue.
04:18About, like, eight a day.
04:19Like, genuinely like...
04:20They were decently sized cookies, too.
04:22And we were like, where's Nico?
04:24She's in a corner.
04:25Like, it was...
04:26That's not even an exaggeration.
04:27One time they left them in my trailer
04:28and I was like, guys, you need to take them away
04:29because I will eat them.
04:30And then I'm being dead serious.
04:31Five minutes later, someone opened the door
04:32and I was over the bin eating them.
04:34She's like, I'm not eating them.
04:36She's like, I'm not eating them.
04:37She's like, I'm not eating them.
04:38And then she was digging them out of the trash.
04:39It was like, truly an issue.
04:40Yeah.
04:41So they would be in my feast, I think.
04:42Wonderful.
04:43I can't wait to come to that.
04:44Cookies, Nico's head, surrounded by...
04:45Cookies, Nico's head.
04:46Surrounded by...
04:47And blueberries.
04:48Sounds delicious, guys.
04:50Yum.
04:51So good to see you again.
04:53Good to see you.
04:54Likewise.
04:55I know you'll be sick of me, but I will be back.
04:56Never, never.
04:57Take care.
04:58Bye.
