At the 'Sonic the Hedgehog 3' premiere, Lee Majdoub expressed his disbelief in getting to work so closely with Jim Carrey after being a long-time fan of his work. Plus, he takes a moment to appreciate the opportunity he has had acting in the 'Sonic' franchise.
Transcript
00:00You get to do the honors of shaving Jim Carrey's head.
00:02I do.
00:03Tell me about that.
00:05It was insane to find out.
00:07It was Jim's idea.
00:08Oh, really?
00:09Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:10So basically, the way it went down was he had long hair.
00:13He was like, well, why don't we add that to.
00:15I'm going to do this montage sequence, and I want Lee to cut my hair.
00:19And then it was like.
00:20Well, should we have Lee cut your hair, or should we have a barber do it?
00:22And he's like, no, Lee should cut my hair.
00:24It needs to be.
00:25Agent Stone and Robotnik.
00:26It needs to be that moment.
00:27And he's like, and I trust Lee.
00:29I've got faith in him.
00:30Let's do it.
00:31You're like, I got one shot at this.
00:33Yeah, that's the thing, right?
00:34It's like.
00:35It's like, you know, everybody's like, how did you feel?
00:37And I'm like, very nervous, and also.
00:40So, like, super confident.
00:42Right.
00:43You know, I was like, I know I'm not going to mess this up.
00:45He's shown me faith.
00:46Trust in Jim trusting me.
00:48Yeah.
00:48Yeah.
00:49How would you.
00:50How would you describe Agent Stone's mindset in this movie?
00:54So, he goes.
00:55He goes through quite a journey.
00:56I think we start off with him really working hard on trying to.
01:00get Robotnik out of his funk.
01:02Robotnik's a little bit depressed since he's lost to the hedgehog twice.
01:05Now, in my opinion, had he gotten Agent Stone's help a little bit sooner, maybe we wouldn't
01:09be.
01:10dealing with this, just saying, just saying, just a little note, no, but Stone is.
01:15Pretty much taking care of Robotnik and also out in search of whatever this Project Shadow
01:18thing might be.
01:20And then gets to meet Grandpa Robotnik and has to deal with all that.
01:25internal dilemma of someone else getting Ivo's attention.
01:30carrier line.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Yeah.
01:33Like, it's so wild.
01:34You tell.
01:35Can't complain.
01:35Yeah.
01:36You tell me when I was watching Ace Ventura back in the day and like super obsessed with
01:39with.
01:40Ace and the mask and all that and doing impersonations of him in school that.
01:43Right.
01:44Um.
01:45That, you know, down the line.
01:46It was like three movies with Jim.
01:48Like, it's.
01:49It's.
01:50I.
01:50I.
01:51I wouldn't believe it.
01:52Yeah.
01:53I mean, he keeps talking about maybe I'm retiring.
01:54Maybe I think he's spitballing.
01:55I.
01:55I don't know.
01:56Yeah.
01:57Yeah.
01:58Yeah.
01:59But if he.
02:00If he is done with Robotnik, who do you think would be a worthy phone.
02:00for Sonic in the future?
02:02Oh, oh, that's...
02:05I have not thought about that.
02:07I mean...
02:07Do you think like Agent Stone could...
02:09Look...
02:10I've seen fans talking about Agent Stone potentially like coming in as a bigger...
02:15I think there's definitely something there because of the...
02:20Basically the character arc, I think we could go with like, okay, if Robotnik was gone...
02:25Stone would really deal with like probably the dilemma of like losing him again.
02:30Snapping a little bit.
02:31I think there's a lot of room to grow with Stone being there.
02:35Not that I would ever, you know, think I could take the mantle, but I think...
02:40I think there's definitely an element to Stone.
02:41Like we haven't seen...
02:42There's a lot we haven't seen to him.
02:43Yeah.
02:44Yeah.
02:44Just to circle back...
02:45Back to this because I was talking about, you know, Jim's football and he's like,
02:47I might retire.
02:48I don't know.
02:48The money's right.
02:49I'm retiring.
02:50But what has it meant to you to just work alongside of him like this?
02:53And like, I remember the first movie and you were like, oh my...
02:55Oh my gosh, I'm pinching myself.
02:55But now it's like, you guys have really had a bond at this point.
02:59Yeah.
03:00It's still a pinch me.
03:02Like to be totally honest with you, there are moments where I'm...
03:05Oh, I just hope this isn't a dream and I wake up and none of the Sonics happen.
03:10You know, it is, it's, I think it's like, it's forcing me to...
03:15Practice taking a step back and really looking at life and taking it in.
03:20And really appreciating what we've been able to do and that dreams come true.
03:25And just accepting that it's like, hey, we're here, we're doing it.
03:28This is life.
03:29This is like, this is what we're doing.
03:30Now, the realization needs to go away.
03:32It's insane.
03:32Yeah, yeah.
03:33But, you know, I don't want it to fully...
03:35I don't want it to fully go away because I think it's like part of who I am.
03:38But, yeah, you know, it's something...
03:40Well, it's got to be like, Lee, this is really happening, buddy.
03:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're here now.
03:45I don't want it to fully go away.
