-
Welcome to the Easter egg.
You found it, congratulations.
-
I hope we've made
it difficult for you.
-
Basically, this is, no exception
to the previous Easter eggs
-
Yet another comic piece of genius.
[chuckles]
-
Basically, this is an interview
with Dominic Monaghan and myself.
-
He interviews me.
I could not see him on the day
-
Therefore, I didn't necessarily
know it was him.
-
Because I was doing the interview via
satellite, I was in New York City
-
While they, the cast, was
actually in Berlin.
-
And so I couldn't see
him, but he could see me.
-
They had a monitor in Berlin that allowed
the interviewers to actually see me
-
Sitting in New York. And he sat down
and posed as a German interviewer.
-
And I bought it, initially.
-
And you kind of get the idea;
it's actually incredibly funny.
-
So I'll let, actually, Hans
Jensen set it up himself.
-
- [mock German accent] Welcome, willkommen
to Kino Das Bang Bang Boom Boom 1970
-
Gjon-Hai Ich Habe Eisen
Diese Nacht Willkommen 2004.
-
Today, I will be
interviewing Elijah Woods.
-
Elijah is a incredible actor from
Los Angeles, California, born in Idaho.
-
Or is it Iowa?
Not important.
-
He is an actor working in
the United States of America.
-
Incredible, incredible actor, and I
have been searching for him all my life.
-
He has incredible blue eyes.
-
And this interview has been the most
special interaction
-
I have had with an actor
in 17 years.
-
So please sit back, enjoy,
wear a smoking jacket and a bib.
-
And take on board the
genius that is Hans Jensen.
-
Good evening.
-
Hello, Mr. Woods!
-
- Hello, Mr. Hans.
- Uh, Mr. Jensen.
-
Mr. Jensen.
- Mr. Jensen, sorry.
-
- Hello.
-
You are having a nice day?
- Yes, I am.
-
Yes, it's very
early in the morning.
-
- What time is it in Australia?
- Oh, I'm not in Australia.
-
- You're in New Zealand?
- No, I'm in New York.
-
- New York.
New Amsterdam, ha.
-
- That's right.
- Yeah.
-
Okay, we begin now, ja?
- Yeah.
-
- Mr. Woods, a pleasure to
meet you, to have met you.
-
- Thank you.
- We're a big fan of music over here.
-
In Germany, we have Kraftwerk
and also Daft Punk. You know these?
-
- Yes, Kraftwerk started the
electronic music movement.
-
And Daft Punk are
brilliant, I love Daft Punk.
-
- Yes. We hear you—
- I actually worked with...
-
- Excuse me, I interrupt you.
-
- Oh, I actually worked with Michel
Gondry
-
Who directed the "Around the World"
video for Daft Punk.
-
- Yes.
She is a fantastic director.
-
- Yes, he is.
- He! Yes, I'm sorry.
-
[chuckles awkwardly] Ha.
Hm. Heh.
-
I'm nervous.
Excuse me.
-
So you deejay in,
uh, in New Zealand?
-
Australia, America? You enjoy...?
- Yeah.
-
Yeah...
- You enjoy music?
-
You're a very big fan of music
over here, over in Germany?
-
- Yes, I love music.
I have done a bit of deejaying.
-
I think deejay purists would
probably hate me...
-
- Ha!
- Because I only deejay with CDs. Um...
-
- I don't know if anybody
can hate you, Mr. Woods.
-
- Well...
- 'Cause you are... Your eyes
-
And your American voice.
- Thank you.
-
[holding back laughter] But I haven't
really graduated to vinyl yet.
-
But yeah, I've done a fair bit of
deejaying. It's good fun.
-
- Do you scratch?
- No.
-
- You mix.
You mix music.
-
- Yes, I mix music live.
Yes.
-
- So Frodo, on Page 720 of The Lord of
the Rings, there is a quote from Frodo.
-
He says, "In a world filled with mirth
and magic, you lose time in yourself."
-
You agree with this comment?
- "In a..."
-
- I will repeat it for you.
- Please.
-
- "In a world..."
You can hear me.
-
You can hear me.
- Yes.
-
- Yes?
- Yep.
-
- "In a world filled with mirth and magic,
you lose time in yourself."
-
You agree with this statement from Frodo?
-
- "You lose time within yourself."
-
Um... Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah, I see...
-
- You begin
to forget yourself, I think.
-
- Yes, and I think that's
exactly what Frodo goes through.
-
Because ultimately, by the end of Frodo's
journey, he doesn't have...
-
- It's a bad question. It's a bad
question, forget it.
-
- No, no, no. It's not a bad question.
- No. Forget it, forget it.
-
- It's not a bad question.
-
- Sean Astin, your hobbit friend,
quoted as saying you are
-
"A beautiful man, a beautiful man."
Do you have a comment for Sean?
-
And also, there is... Um, how do I say
without being rude?
-
A gay connotation.
-
- [bursts into laughter]
-
- Oh! You laugh, it's funny.
- [coughing laughter]
-
- No? You agree?
He says you are a beautiful man!
-
You are a beautiful...
- Yeah, well...
-
Yeah, there is no gay connotation to that
whatsoever.
-
- Sean Astin is gay.
-
- Uh, no.
- Sean Astin is not gay?
-
- No! [chuckles]
- Okay.
-
- No, no, no.
- You have very big eyes.
-
Very big, blue eyes.
- Uh-huh.
-
- Do you think this is the reason
why you are successful and famous?
-
- Um...
- Big, blue.
-
- Yes. [chuckles]
- You are famous, because of this?
-
Because of your eyes.
-
The next job you do, you work
on a movie called Hooligans...
-
- Yes.
- About football hooligans.
-
- You play football,
you kick balls?
-
- [uncontrollable laughter]
- Mr. Woods?
-
Mr. Woods?
-
- [laughter]
- Do you play football?
-
- Oh! [Coughing laughter]
- This is funny to you? I am...
-
- Do I kick balls?
- I'm upsetting you?
-
- No.
- Am I upsetting you?
-
- I don't play football.
