The Moment Star Wars Changed Everything For Nick Frost And Simon Pegg
We first met them in Spaced (I sent friends at DC Comics videos of it, which got passed around a lot).
They returned for Shawn of The Dead (I was one of their zombies, bottom right when the camera pan over the fence to see the WInchester. Andy Diggle is in there somewhere too).
And once, at the back of a panel at San Diego Comic Con – I think it was Mark Evanier and Sergio Aragones' regular event – they sat down in the same rowand I kinda boggled.
They are Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, best friends, colleagues and collaborators, and the true gods of geek.
Frost has an autobiography out this week. And the Guardian has printed an extract, looking at Nick's very difficult teenage life, challenges and how he met the comedian Simon Pegg. And the moment everything changed.
Here's an extract of that extract.
A bunch of the restaurant staff had gone out after work one Friday night for a nice butter chicken and a few cold ones. Simon and I found ourselves sat opposite one another. As we talked and laughed drunkenly that night, Simon did something that would change me for ever, change us for ever. He picked up a condiment and moved it across the table making this sound: Birbirbigitt Birbirbigitt bigitt. I knew exactly what this was. Time slowed around us, a warm bubble of light inflated and for a moment I couldn't see or hear anything but Simon. He was making the sound of the mouse droid that Chewbacca roars at in Star Wars. It was as if we were the only two people in the world. He got it, whatever it was. I understood him completely and he understood me.
That would be…
And for days of Star Wars past…
Truths, Half Truths & Little White Lies by Nick Frost (Hodder & Stoughton, £20) available here in the UK, here in the USA and here in Canada.
Nick will be talking about his book at Foyles on Charing Cross Road this Thursday at 7pm. Sadly I'll be at New York Comic Con then. Come on Nick, get the plane over afterwards.
