Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are two of my favorite movies ever. I’ve always adored Simon Pegg ❤

I’ve been a fan of Simon Pegg since Shawn of the dead. Was very excited when he made the jump to big budget Hollywood movies with big stars. I did not know that he had been a stand-up comic. Makes me like him even more. Great interview.

Dude, I remember Simon from Shaun of the Dead, thinking I hope I see more of this guy, and now he's doing Star Trek and Mission Impossible 😂 Thanks Simon!
