[Chris] What's a date today? [Mark] It's, uh, uh, uh, October, uh, 16th
[Chris] It's your birthday, isn't it?
[Interviewer] Oh no, it is. Yeah
[Mark] Ooh, it's your birthday
[Chris] Oooooh! It's your birthday! Aaaah
[Chris] Happy birthday!
*laughs maniacally*
[Chris] Hello Singapore [Taika] Hi Singapore [Chris] How are you?
[Taika] And what've you been up to today?
[Chris] *gasps* [Taika] Oh! [Chris] Oh, cool
[Taika] Okay, that sounds, uh, illegal
[Jimmy] And this is the, it's the third time you've done it?
[Chris] Number 97 [Jimmy] 97... that's Thor [Chris] yeah, yeah, yeah
it feels like, a, i mean i'm doing, uh, it's
my seventh film [Jimmy] yeah [Chris] my seventh time playing Thor
[Jimmy] appearance, cause you show up in the other ones [Chris] in the other ones, briefly, in the background
[Jimmy] But this one
*laughter*
[Chris] Yeah, we've had a few hammers snap in half, I've tripped on the cape, people have stood on the cape-
-and pulled me backwards, I've had it flip over and land on my face and been wrapped up with it
They're the most unpractical things in the world and I suggest if you're gonna be a superhero do away with that-
-silly item. I took one of the costumes from Thor 2
And I've taken a couple of hammers [Interviewer] Where do you keep your hammers?
[Chris] One's in the toilet at the moment and one's at my mum's house
[Interviewer] Whenever you need it- [Chris] Whenever I need it-
[Interviewer] -is it there? [Chris] -it's there.
[Interviewer] It's a different
Type of movie [Chris] yeah [Interviewer] uh, there's a lot of humour as well. Do you like it?
[Chris] I love it. and we wanted it to be difficult [Taika] Good answer
[Chris] What do you think of the movie? [Taika] The movie? [Chris] yeah
[Taika] Duh [Chris] Duh
[Taika] I'd definitely recommend it to a friend
[Taika] Yeah, just to show the audience straight away
You know it's not the, you know, the character or the film that you think you know. These are normal people like us
We've all had haircuts, so that's-
[Chris] *giggles*
[Mark] You're wearing a, a leotard that looks like
A chinese checker board, that has little checkerboard pieces all over it and every time you touch anything you get stuck to it because
you're, you're covered in Velcro
You cross your arms and you can't un-uncross them
You lean up against something and *velcro rip sound* you can't
[Mark] Madness [Interviever] Oh, cool
Uh, Josh from London- [Mark] Josh, you don't have to yell in my ear
[Chris] Uh! [Interviewer] Sorry Mark [Mark] It's alright *giggles*
[Interviewer] I'm a stage actor a'ight
[Mark] You're- [Interviewer] I'm joking
[Mark] Most actors, you know, you can't hear them even when you're next to them
You know what I mean, I appreciate that
[Interviewer] Well, can you guys- [Mark] -kiss? I'm sorry, even though we do, are we starting
[Interviewer] The kids came to set. [Chris] They did
[Interviewer] Yes, do they love it? [Chris] They're wildly unimpressed
[Interviewer] *snorts* But i also heard they run around like in shock, is that what's happening?
[Chris] Yeah, they were like
this is so boring and we thought you fight monsters for a living
and you don't, you just pretend and so we're gonna wreck stuff
And that's what they did, they ran around and like
Just broke things
[Interviewer] What a great to have got do you head as well when you're in Australia, when you've got the ambassador of Australia
[Mark] He basically just kept me under his arm the whole, I mean, he showed me everything
[Interviewer] Is that your version of it, Chris? or you couldn't get rid of him?
[Interviewer] Has it, uh, did you ever actually grow Thor's hair? [Chris] Thor 2, Thor 2 was
mostly my hair and a few sort of extensions, uh, Thor 1 was a wig
Uh, Avengers
Both Avengers were wigs [Interviewer] Huh
[Chris[ Uh yeah, so i was happy to cut it off or not have to put it on in the morning
[Chris] That was, um
That was probably one of the most painful things to do
Incredibly boring [Taika] It's also embarrassing [Chris] It's embarrassing, cause I'm in a big green
Set, there's nothing around, and I'm swinging this hammer at nobody
*laugh*
[Taika] I sent him the video camera, no one else was around
Just in his room
*punching sounds*
[Chris] And really punching nothing, and have to *grunts*
[Mark] Isn't it nice to see, like, like men who love
each other instead of being beat, mean and bitchy to each other all the time? [Taika] Like, oh god there's one thing i hate
uh, uh, 'He's such a, uh, he's such a doofus' [Chris] 'Sucker' [Taika] 'Uh, he thinks he's so funny'
[Interviewer] We're gonna be playing out a scene, where each word you
say has to begin with the next letter in the alphabet, so for example I'll say 'Afternoon, Mark, how you doing?' [Mark] Badly [Interviewer] And
[Mark] Oh does the right thing to do it?
[Chris] Oh now I have to respond? Come on, you're not that bad
[Interviewer] *chuckles* there we go, that's perfect
[Mark] Damn it, I am
[Chris] Everyone, everyone knows you're not, No, we've started, we've started
[Interviewer] No, no, not yet!
[Chris] To understand the meaning of Ragnarok
One must look deep into ancient writings of norse mythology, behold the World Tree Yggdrasil connecting the nine realms and, uh
[Mark] I think you're doing an amazing job, because Kate's really really good at the-
[Chris] You know, Kim Foggy said um that almost lost me the job. 'We've all saw-
your audition, we're passing it around the office' and their mom was
really, you know into it and then a few of the girls started googling
your name and up came this dancing video and I thought, oh no
Full dancing
Oh no, the fans are gonna eat us alive
[Interviewer] -the coolest bits in the film of course
is that gladiator duel between, um, Thor and Hulk. Is it, are these things as much fun to shoot as they are for us to watch?
[Both] Nope. *laugh*
[Interviewer] We do have to pass on a message from another Australian, who is not happy, about the fighting scene in the Coliseum
And that is Russell Crowe, who told us that it's already been done?
[Mark] *inhales deeply* [Chris] Oh. Really, Russell? Really?
You fought with the big green monster? [Mark] Yes, where is your big green monster? [Chris] Did you have Led Zeppelin in the background?
*mimicks bass guitar*
[Interviewer] So we'll try and take some of that and have a bit of improvisation, and have some fun, sound good guys?
[Mark] Yes. Yes. [Chris] Yes, let's do it. [Interviewer] Awesome.
[Mark] I signed "we love you".
[Chris] That is why- [Mark] "Gladiator"
[Chris] He's trying to, he's trying to slide his way into a little Marvel [Interviewer] That won't be easy
[Mark] He can come into the next one with us
[Chris] Uh-uh, he can try.
*laughing hysterically*
[Interviewer] Best-Dressed Helmer in Hollywood, they call him.
[Chris] He-, I mean today's, you've gone pretty normal tonight, where, I want to see the pineapple
[Interviewer] Romper, yeah [Chris] The tuxedo that you had on the other day
[Taika] This is it, what's underneath that [Interviewer] *laughs*
[Chris] Can, can you start dressing like
how people want you to dress? Be yourself, Taika
you just, you dressed like an Australian today
You try to fit in here, be cool
[Taika] My kids [Chris] My kids love Captain America
[Taika] Well, yeah [Chris] One of them does.
And Wonder Woman.
My kids, I got three kids, one of them thinks it's really cool [Interviewer] Mm-hmm
and the other two are just like *scoffs* boring
[Taika] Mm [Chris] So one out of three, I'll take that. I'm gonna get rid of the other two kids anyway
[Interviewer] A bit of your humour and a bit of your, there's none of your humour in the end?
[Mark] Probably not
[Interviewer] Oh, mm [Chris] *chuckles*
[Interviewer] Cause he's kind of a grouch
[Taika] Yeah [Mark] Yeah
[Chris] The whole new version of
the big great monster this year
[Chris] The Deadpool tie? [Interviewer] Of course [Chris] Fuck
[Interviewer] Here's why i have that- [Chris] Get out [Interviewer] no, no, here's why, I just interviewed Brolin for 'Only the Brave'
[Chris] Oh, you just wore the same outfit? [Interviewer] I just wore the same outfit, I haven't changed
[Chris] Yeah... [Interviewer] *laughs* I need to get a Thor tie, it's more
[Chris] I'm gonna buy you one, mate, this is, this is awkward, you can just hold this in front of yourself instead, there you go
There you go *chuckles*
[Chris] There was three young kids looking to get home hitchhiking
She was like 'Uh, I'll give you a lift' [Mark] The police were harassing them
[Chris] The police were- *laughs*
[Mark] I was like 'Hey, what's the matter?' you know, like
these were just kids, they, we don't know who they're with, they're all there with me
And he, and he's like 'Really?', shines the light in my eyes and I'm like 'Y-yeah, they're my niece and nephews'
[Interview] And then I walk through the door, I close the door behind me and my cape would get caught [Mark] Oh yes, that's a problem
[Chris] Yeah, everybody knows that a good cape is a very short one, a little sort of mid- midriff sized cape
is essential for not tripping on
[Interviewer] *laughs*
[Chris] *laughs*
[Mark] Eventually he was just directing from his iPad
*laughter* [Mark] It was an iPad
[Chris] In a hotel [Mark] and from his hotel
[Taika] On a speedboat
[Mark] He was, he facetimed us on his speedboat
[Chris] Uh, One of my kids is impressed, the other don't, the other two not gonna care, um
So one out of three is awesome
[Chris] Zeppelin said once 'I come from the land of ice and snow'
*Led Zeppelin-Immigrant song playing*
*laughter*
[Interviewer] So they don't want to be Thor for Halloween or they do? [Chris] They want to be Wonder Woman
[Interview] That's cool [Chris] It's true, both my sons and my daughter
[Interviewer] Stop it, I love it! They're fans. [Chris] Yeah
[Interviewer] Can't be mad at that. [Chris] Yep, that's all right, I love Wonder Woman, it's cool
[Interviewer] You took the cast to Splendour in the Grass [Chris] Splendour
[Mark] That's where we were
[Interviewer] You were watching the Avalanches and the Strokes?
[Chris] Yep [Mark] That's right
[Interviewer] Mark, you been? [Mark] Yes, I was there
I got us backstage!
[Interviewer] Did you really?
[Mark] Yes, I did [Chris] No, not-
[Mark] I was just wandering around, and someone grabs me and they're like
'Hey, are you Mark Ruffalo?' and I was like 'I don't know!'
*laughter*
[Mark] My twelve year old liked a girl at school and she didn't like her back so she's like, I said like 'Does that make you feel bad?', she's like
'No, Dad, I'm, I'm really cute, I'm a really really good girlfriend and my Dad's a Hulk
*laughter*
[Mark] I was mostly like this then
*blows an imaginary candle light*
Trying to get that light going again, most of the time
I see these lights start to dim and I was like
'Don't let the dimming of the light-
Burn, burn bright into the night'
[Chris] It's what we wanted to do [Mark] Thor's new, Banner's new
Hulk's new, Thor's new
Did I say that? I meant the movie
*laughing maniacally*
[Mark] The movie 'Thor' and Thor!
[Taika] It's the rainbow bridge [Mark] See that there? See how they have us divided here?
[Interviewer] I was gonna ask about that, what's that about, are you not friends [Mark] Well, be-
[Chris] Well I can see the monitor over there, right, and, and I don't know if we're trying to show the poster up, but what it looks like
Is that me and you are- [Interviewer] Buddies
[Chris] -really into each other
and we're on the fence today
[Taika] That's acting, isn't it, you know. I just spoke with these guys
and they just stand there and words come out of their faces. You know, just, I'll just do that
[Interviewer] And you thought 'How hard can that be?'
*laughter* [Taika] A little bit
turns out, super easy
*laughter*
[Interviewer] Quite frankly, I'm getting told we have to wrap this up so if we could go through the alphabet
[Mark] Really?
[Interviewer] super fast
[Mark] Tomorrow, when we s-, when we're after the premiere
[Chris] Hm, under a blanket of, of, of-
[Interviewer & Mark] Velvet
[Chris] -velvet

[Chris] Heh, that's our director
You may notice what he's wearing
It's gonna tell you what the film is gonna be like
It's gonna be little e- [Taika] Nothing without me, nothing without me
Career maker [Chris] We thank Taika Waititi for our career
Uh, heh heh
The extension of it even
Uh,

[Mark] And I'm sitting there six minutes into the movie
And a woman, a woman that I don't even know!
Comes up and she pokes me
*laughter*
And she's like 'Turn your phone off! Your Instagram Live is still on!
It's broad-, broadcasting the whole movie!'
And I was like *whispers* Oh no
