Prank interview with Elijah Wood

  • 0:02 - 0:04
    Welcome to the Easter egg.
    You found it, congratulations.
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    I hope we've made
    it difficult for you.
  • 0:09 - 0:13
    Basically, this is, no exception
    to the previous Easter eggs
  • 0:13 - 0:16
    Yet another comic piece of genius.
    [chuckles]
  • 0:17 - 0:20
    Basically, this is an interview
    with Dominic Monaghan and myself.
  • 0:20 - 0:24
    He interviews me.
    I could not see him on the day
  • 0:24 - 0:26
    Therefore, I didn't necessarily
    know it was him.
  • 0:26 - 0:30
    Because I was doing the interview via
    satellite, I was in New York City
  • 0:30 - 0:33
    While they, the cast, was
    actually in Berlin.
  • 0:33 - 0:36
    And so I couldn't see
    him, but he could see me.
  • 0:36 - 0:40
    They had a monitor in Berlin that allowed
    the interviewers to actually see me
  • 0:40 - 0:44
    Sitting in New York. And he sat down
    and posed as a German interviewer.
  • 0:44 - 0:49
    And I bought it, initially.
  • 0:49 - 0:53
    And you kind of get the idea;
    it's actually incredibly funny.
  • 0:53 - 0:58
    So I'll let, actually, Hans
    Jensen set it up himself.
  • 0:59 - 1:05
    - [mock German accent] Welcome, willkommen
    to Kino Das Bang Bang Boom Boom 1970
  • 1:05 - 1:11
    Gjon-Hai Ich Habe Eisen
    Diese Nacht Willkommen 2004.
  • 1:11 - 1:14
    Today, I will be
    interviewing Elijah Woods.
  • 1:14 - 1:20
    Elijah is a incredible actor from
    Los Angeles, California, born in Idaho.
  • 1:20 - 1:25
    Or is it Iowa?
    Not important.
  • 1:25 - 1:30
    He is an actor working in
    the United States of America.
  • 1:30 - 1:36
    Incredible, incredible actor, and I
    have been searching for him all my life.
  • 1:37 - 1:39
    He has incredible blue eyes.
  • 1:39 - 1:44
    And this interview has been the most
    special interaction
  • 1:44 - 1:49
    I have had with an actor
    in 17 years.
  • 1:49 - 1:56
    So please sit back, enjoy,
    wear a smoking jacket and a bib.
  • 1:56 - 2:00
    And take on board the
    genius that is Hans Jensen.
  • 2:00 - 2:03
    Good evening.
  • 2:03 - 2:04
    Hello, Mr. Woods!
  • 2:04 - 2:06
    - Hello, Mr. Hans.
    - Uh, Mr. Jensen.
  • 2:06 - 2:08
    Mr. Jensen.
    - Mr. Jensen, sorry.
  • 2:08 - 2:10
    - Hello.
  • 2:10 - 2:13
    You are having a nice day?
    - Yes, I am.
  • 2:14 - 2:17
    Yes, it's very
    early in the morning.
  • 2:17 - 2:22
    - What time is it in Australia?
    - Oh, I'm not in Australia.
  • 2:22 - 2:25
    - You're in New Zealand?
    - No, I'm in New York.
  • 2:25 - 2:27
    - New York.
    New Amsterdam, ha.
  • 2:27 - 2:29
    - That's right.
    - Yeah.
  • 2:29 - 2:31
    Okay, we begin now, ja?
    - Yeah.
  • 2:32 - 2:36
    - Mr. Woods, a pleasure to
    meet you, to have met you.
  • 2:36 - 2:39
    - Thank you.
    - We're a big fan of music over here.
  • 2:39 - 2:42
    In Germany, we have Kraftwerk
    and also Daft Punk. You know these?
  • 2:43 - 2:49
    - Yes, Kraftwerk started the
    electronic music movement.
  • 2:49 - 2:51
    And Daft Punk are
    brilliant, I love Daft Punk.
  • 2:51 - 2:54
    - Yes. We hear you—
    - I actually worked with...
  • 2:54 - 2:55
    - Excuse me, I interrupt you.
  • 2:55 - 2:58
    - Oh, I actually worked with Michel
    Gondry
  • 2:58 - 3:03
    Who directed the "Around the World"
    video for Daft Punk.
  • 3:03 - 3:05
    - Yes.
    She is a fantastic director.
  • 3:05 - 3:07
    - Yes, he is.
    - He! Yes, I'm sorry.
  • 3:07 - 3:10
    [chuckles awkwardly] Ha.
    Hm. Heh.
  • 3:10 - 3:12
    I'm nervous.
    Excuse me.
  • 3:13 - 3:16
    So you deejay in,
    uh, in New Zealand?
  • 3:16 - 3:19
    Australia, America? You enjoy...?
    - Yeah.
  • 3:19 - 3:21
    Yeah...
    - You enjoy music?
  • 3:21 - 3:24
    You're a very big fan of music
    over here, over in Germany?
  • 3:24 - 3:28
    - Yes, I love music.
    I have done a bit of deejaying.
  • 3:28 - 3:33
    I think deejay purists would
    probably hate me...
  • 3:33 - 3:36
    - Ha!
    - Because I only deejay with CDs. Um...
  • 3:36 - 3:40
    - I don't know if anybody
    can hate you, Mr. Woods.
  • 3:40 - 3:42
    - Well...
    - 'Cause you are... Your eyes
  • 3:42 - 3:45
    And your American voice.
    - Thank you.
  • 3:45 - 3:48
    [holding back laughter] But I haven't
    really graduated to vinyl yet.
  • 3:48 - 3:51
    But yeah, I've done a fair bit of
    deejaying. It's good fun.
  • 3:51 - 3:53
    - Do you scratch?
    - No.
  • 3:53 - 3:55
    - You mix.
    You mix music.
  • 3:55 - 3:58
    - Yes, I mix music live.
    Yes.
  • 3:58 - 4:05
    - So Frodo, on Page 720 of The Lord of
    the Rings, there is a quote from Frodo.
  • 4:05 - 4:10
    He says, "In a world filled with mirth
    and magic, you lose time in yourself."
  • 4:10 - 4:14
    You agree with this comment?
    - "In a..."
  • 4:14 - 4:17
    - I will repeat it for you.
    - Please.
  • 4:17 - 4:20
    - "In a world..."
    You can hear me.
  • 4:20 - 4:22
    You can hear me.
    - Yes.
  • 4:22 - 4:23
    - Yes?
    - Yep.
  • 4:23 - 4:27
    - "In a world filled with mirth and magic,
    you lose time in yourself."
  • 4:27 - 4:31
    You agree with this statement from Frodo?
  • 4:31 - 4:33
    - "You lose time within yourself."
  • 4:33 - 4:38
    Um... Yeah, that's interesting.
    Yeah, I see...
  • 4:38 - 4:40
    - You begin
    to forget yourself, I think.
  • 4:41 - 4:44
    - Yes, and I think that's
    exactly what Frodo goes through.
  • 4:44 - 4:49
    Because ultimately, by the end of Frodo's
    journey, he doesn't have...
  • 4:49 - 4:52
    - It's a bad question. It's a bad
    question, forget it.
  • 4:52 - 4:55
    - No, no, no. It's not a bad question.
    - No. Forget it, forget it.
  • 4:55 - 4:56
    - It's not a bad question.
  • 4:56 - 5:00
    - Sean Astin, your hobbit friend,
    quoted as saying you are
  • 5:00 - 5:06
    "A beautiful man, a beautiful man."
    Do you have a comment for Sean?
  • 5:06 - 5:11
    And also, there is... Um, how do I say
    without being rude?
  • 5:11 - 5:14
    A gay connotation.
  • 5:15 - 5:17
    - [bursts into laughter]
  • 5:17 - 5:21
    - Oh! You laugh, it's funny.
    - [coughing laughter]
  • 5:21 - 5:25
    - No? You agree?
    He says you are a beautiful man!
  • 5:25 - 5:27
    You are a beautiful...
    - Yeah, well...
  • 5:27 - 5:31
    Yeah, there is no gay connotation to that
    whatsoever.
  • 5:31 - 5:33
    - Sean Astin is gay.
  • 5:33 - 5:36
    - Uh, no.
    - Sean Astin is not gay?
  • 5:37 - 5:39
    - No! [chuckles]
    - Okay.
  • 5:39 - 5:44
    - No, no, no.
    - You have very big eyes.
  • 5:44 - 5:46
    Very big, blue eyes.
    - Uh-huh.
  • 5:47 - 5:50
    - Do you think this is the reason
    why you are successful and famous?
  • 5:51 - 5:54
    - Um...
    - Big, blue.
  • 5:56 - 6:00
    - Yes. [chuckles]
    - You are famous, because of this?
  • 6:00 - 6:02
    Because of your eyes.
  • 6:02 - 6:08
    The next job you do, you work
    on a movie called Hooligans...
  • 6:08 - 6:10
    - Yes.
    - About football hooligans.
  • 6:11 - 6:13
    - You play football,
    you kick balls?
  • 6:15 - 6:19
    - [uncontrollable laughter]
    - Mr. Woods?
  • 6:19 - 6:21
    Mr. Woods?
  • 6:21 - 6:24
    - [laughter]
    - Do you play football?
  • 6:24 - 6:29
    - Oh! [Coughing laughter]
    - This is funny to you? I am...
  • 6:29 - 6:32
    - Do I kick balls?
    - I'm upsetting you?
  • 6:32 - 6:33
    - No.
    - Am I upsetting you?
  • 6:34 - 6:35
    - I don't play football.
  • 6:35 - 6:40
    - [sighs] In the photoshoots you do with
    Vogue magazine and Cosmopolitan and
  • 6:40 - 6:44
    Entertainment Weekly, Time Magazine
  • 6:44 - 6:51
    Your hair changes dramatically,
    from short to long. Do you wear wigs?
  • 6:51 - 6:55
    - Uh, no, I do not.
    - Have you worn wigs?
  • 6:55 - 6:58
    - [holding back laughter] No, I have not.
    - Will you wear wigs?
  • 6:58 - 7:02
    - Maybe.
    - When will you wear wigs?
  • 7:02 - 7:08
    - [uncontrollable laughter]
    - Mr. Woods, I will ask you
  • 7:08 - 7:10
    Coming to the end of your...
    - [coughing laughter]
  • 7:10 - 7:13
    - I must close soon, but uh...
    - Yes, you must close soon.
  • 7:13 - 7:18
    - Yes. I hear you collect sex toys.
    - No.
  • 7:18 - 7:20
    - No?
    You do not collect toys?
  • 7:20 - 7:23
    - Alright, there is... This
    has to be [beep]ing...
  • 7:23 - 7:26
    - Mr. Woods? Mr. Woods?
    - Yes.
  • 7:26 - 7:29
    - You have sex with a German
    woman called Franka Pontente.
  • 7:29 - 7:31
    She is famous German actress.
  • 7:31 - 7:38
    - And you drop her, you finish
    relationship with her. Why?
  • 7:40 - 7:47
    - Um... It didn't work out, unfortunately.
    - How long was she your wife?
  • 7:48 - 7:51
    - She was never my wife.
    - You were engaged to her, though.
  • 7:51 - 7:53

    - Yes.
    - Very famous movie.

    - Yes...
  • 8:10 - 8:14
    - No, I did not know that.
    That's terrible.
