00:00If he's also Mike Banning, surely he doesn't have to wear that 90-pound costume.
00:04I was never put on this earth to teach anybody anything handy.
00:07I think that that is something that I could pass down to my kids.
00:10Trust me, there's a sigh of relief from me too.
00:12Lovely to see you again.
00:14Lovely to see you again.
00:16I feel like a lot of the films I used to interview about were you saving the world.
00:21So it's lovely to see you in all your Viking glory for this one.
00:25Almost destroying the world.
00:26Basically, pretty much.
00:28You weren't going to say that, but I'll say it for you.
00:30Fair enough.
00:31How does your voice hold up, by the way, when you were doing a film like this?
00:34I feel like it's at the top of, like, you push it.
00:37I was pushing it.
00:37I was pushing it in this.
00:39I did some stuff to kind of warm it up.
00:43But I do have quite a strong voice anyway.
00:45But I also knew there were days that I was going to be a little raspy.
00:48At least it's not a musical, right?
00:50So me having a raspy voice is not going to kill this movie.
00:53I would like to see you.
00:54What's going on with Stoy?
00:55I think he's got a bit of a rasp in his voice.
00:57It's all right.
00:58It's a nice little sexy rasp.
00:59We like that.
01:00It's fine.
01:01How were you on set, though, with that costume and Surrounded by Fire?
01:05Were you not just boiling the entire time?
01:08I was hot.
01:10And I have to say, everybody else was cold.
01:12It was in Belfast.
01:13It was in the middle of winter.
01:15And I don't know why I did it.
01:16I would have ice baths every morning.
01:17And there was a window in my hotel.
01:19I'd look out.
01:20It was so dark and cold.
01:23And for some reason, I had decided, I'm going to do an ice bath every day.
01:26I get in there so miserable.
01:27But it kind of worked because for the rest of the day, even when everybody was boiling or when everybody was cold, I was boiling because I had seven thick layers on.
01:36And a sheep on top of that, basically, on my back and this helmet and a thick wig and a beard and five pieces.
01:43So everybody was complaining for one reason or another.
01:47Mine was just the opposite.
01:48Yours was the opposite.
01:49Is this the world that you imagined in your head when you were voicing Stoic the very first time for the animation?
01:56Is this what you imagined?
01:58I have to say, very similar.
01:59Because it's a good question you ask.
02:01I often imagine, what would it be like to actually be in that world?
02:06So to step onto those sets was both surreal but really inspiring, too.
02:10Because I'm like, okay, one, I already know this is going to look amazing on film.
02:15But I already know selfishly as an actor and as a human, I'm going to have a blast on these sets.
02:20I'm stepping into our Viking Coliseum.
02:22I'm walking across these incredible harbors on the Viking ships into the Viking village and the Great Hall.
02:28The sets were incredible.
02:29The costumes were amazing.
02:31And then when you get to augment that and use the artistry that we used in this film where literally you're seeing cinematic stuff that you never really saw.
02:40really seen on film before, then you kind of knew we're on to, I think, a winner.
02:45It looks so good.
02:46I'm so glad.
02:47The animation is so loved.
02:49So I'm so glad that the live action is living up to that.
02:53Trust me, there's a sigh of relief from me, too.
02:55Yeah.
02:56I bet.
02:57I bet.
02:57If I'm being honest.
02:59There's always got to be, right?
03:00When you're doing these films.
03:01There's a risk in every movie.
03:02There was a risk in the animation.
03:04God, we scrapped the animation.
03:05Halfway through the first movie, everything changed.
03:08Dean was not on board.
03:09Dean came on.
03:10It became a more grown-up version.
03:12And everything changed.
03:14And so we never knew.
03:16You know, we hoped.
03:18Yeah.
03:18But then it's the same with this.
03:20But now, you know, it's not 15 years of me doing it, but 15 years of Dean, who's such a creative genius.
03:26And the team behind him having a chance to understand what is the heart of this story.
03:31And to know, you know, where you can push it.
03:34And I think they did that.
03:35Yeah.
03:36And yet they stayed true to the original.
03:38You know, but it still feels like a completely fresh movie.
03:41Yeah.
03:41Yeah, it really does.
03:42And something to be thoroughly enjoyed.
03:43I'm curious to know, do you have any skills in the way that Stoic wants Hiccup to learn to be a dragon slayer?
03:50So he wants to pass that down to his son.
03:51Do you have any skills that you're like, I should pass this down to the next generation?
03:56No, not really.
03:58No, that's why I act.
04:00People then say, okay, we're going to pretend you're good at that.
04:03And I can go, hey, son, you need to be like me.
04:06Whereas me, you know, I could say, hey, I could do a belly.
04:09I can do a belly roll.
04:10You want to see a belly roll?
04:11I'm going to show you it right now.
04:12But I think that that is something that I could pass down to my kids, is how to roll their bellies.
04:18Other than that, no, they're screwed.
04:20I don't know when that will come in handy for them, but perhaps, who knows?
04:23I was never put on this earth to teach anybody anything handy, except stuff that was written for me.
04:30Last time I spoke to you, you gave me steps on how to save the world.
04:34I did?
04:34So you clearly are teaching something.
04:38Teaching something.
04:38Oh, you just know how, you have the gift of the gab.
04:40That's what it is.
04:41Yeah, don't ask me how to cook a pasta.
04:43But you want to know how to save the world?
04:45Come to me for that.
04:46I just deal with the big stuff.
04:47It's all right.
04:47We have Nick Frost for cooking.
04:48He said that's what he would teach, is teach me how to cook an omelette.
04:51And we're good.
04:52That's what he's passing down.
04:52So between me and Nick Frost, we're good.
04:55I'm so upset.
04:56I'm so upset.
04:57And listen, when is the Burke Has Fallen crossover film coming?
05:01I've been speaking to them about that.
05:03I think we've got to get through this first.
05:05And I need a break from wearing that costume.
05:07Or we find a way where you go, look, if he's also Mike Banning,
05:10surely he doesn't have to wear that 90-pound costume.
05:13Because I'll put that into the hands of Dean Dubois.
05:15I'm so glad that you are still here from the very first films right now.
05:21Because you're so good at stoic.
05:23You're so good.
05:24It's lovely to see you.
05:25Nice to see you.
