Simon's voice sounds like he should be voicing a nature documentary

I love how honest he is. The feeling of loss when a shoot wraps up, the slight hurt when J.J. left for Star Wars. It’s a glimpse into the social side of filmmaking that makes an actor seem like a real person, not just a superstar for whom everything is perfect.

He just seems like the most down to Earth bloke you can imagine.

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have such great chemistry together. Love all the films they have been in together. It is no surprise that they are good friends in real life. I hope to see them in more films together.

I had a friend who knew his mother in law and this proves how lovely he is. Him and his wife relocated to LA for his career, his wife got a bit homesick and missed her family. He surprised his wife by flying her entire family out to LA. That is an amazing gesture hes an amazing man and very talented. I love anything hes in.

To me, "Shaun of the Dead" is bloody brilliant. A classic. Ed: Purple Rain. Shaun: No. Ed: Sign o' the Times. Shaun: Definitely not. Ed: The Batman soundtrack? Shaun: Throw it."

His story about Carrie is incredible and it sounds exactly how she was.

So nice hearing him talk about Jessica Hynes. I feel like her contribution to Spaced always gets overlooked when people discuss it.

I've always liked Simon, but after this, I like him even more, just really down to earth, humble and grateful for his opportunities but also clearly very talented.

It felt more personal when the actor explaining his career journey in his space, just him and the camera. Love this! what a brilliant human being, Simon Pegg.

Hot Fuzz was and still is the best movie ever!

I’ve never been more excited about having the same printer as someone

I’m bothered that”Run Fatboy Run” wasn’t on this timeline. It’s an underrated gem!

"I shouldn't eat Twiglets, they make me violent" Spaced is the greatest show ever.

In my radio career, I've had the pleasure of interviewing this Superstar and he really is every bit as "normal" as he comes across, such a humble and yet brilliant actor. Thanks Simon for so many amazing performances

I hate how they skipped movies I want to see him talk about all of them

The Cornetto Trilogy is a masterpiece

He didn't even talk about Paul. I feel cheated.
