00:00I think I've decided not to retire, but to have power rests.
00:06I meditate a lot.
00:09Where do you think Robotnik stands in the pantheon of film villains?
00:14Well, you know, I wouldn't dare to say, but Robotnik would say number one and two, at least.
00:24Yeah, to me, he's the most dangerous kind of human being there is.
00:32A loveless child with a triple digit IQ and whose bitterness has metastasised into total villainy.
00:42And in this film, you're obviously playing Ivo and you're also playing Gerald Robotnik.
00:48How did the prosthetics compare to previous films like The Mask and The Grinch?
00:52Well, there was no challenge like The Grinch.
00:55The Grinch, I had to be trained by a guy who actually tells CIA people and operatives how to endure torture.
01:06That's how I got through The Grinch.
01:08So that was the worst one.
01:10The Mask was the prep for that one.
01:13And I was pretty challenged by that.
01:17This one was easy.
01:19The group was easy.
01:20They made it as simple as the process could be.
01:25Marc Coulier and his group really, really did a fantastic job.
01:30And we had a blast.
01:31I mean, we just had a nutty time in the trailer.
01:34You've worn this moustache in these films for three movies now.
01:38Has that put you off facial hair forever or will we see you with a beard again,
01:43like the amazing one that you rocked a few years ago?
01:46Yeah, I liked having that beard.
01:48That was a nice thing.
01:49It covers the neck.
01:50You don't have to wear turtlenecks and stuff.
01:52But, yeah, that was great.
01:56You know, it's never fun to glue hair to your face.
02:00It's fun to have a beard or a moustache, but to glue hair.
02:04And, oh, who was it?
02:06I don't remember the gentleman's name now.
02:08He plays the Wookiee in the new Star Wars stuff.
02:14And he was part of our crew.
02:17And he came up to me one day and I said,
02:20I know what you're going through.
02:22It's yak hair, right?
02:23I'm like, oh, yes, it's yak hair.
02:25And we compared stories of the Grinch and what's his name?
02:31Chewbacca.
02:32Chewbacca, right?
02:33Yeah, that guy, Chewbacca.
02:35You've made millions of people laugh for so many decades now.
02:39What makes you laugh the hardest?
02:41Ben Schwartz.
02:42Ben Schwartz makes me laugh.
02:44Yeah.
02:45I mean, he's really funny.
02:47Really funny.
02:48Really great.
02:49And he does a fantastic job with this character.
02:51So, you know, he's a wonderful foil.
02:54It's a great relationship that Robotnik and him have
02:59in the contestedness of it.
03:02And so there's just a bunch of fantastic people involved
03:06in this production, Colleen O'Shaughnessy
03:08and all these wonderful actors that are coming through
03:12and joining up, and Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba,
03:15and it's just growing exponentially.
03:18And Adam Pally has the television show,
03:21the Knuckles show, and so it's really fostering
03:26this really creative atmosphere.
