The fact that he was more than happy to rerecord the entire shrek movie in a Scottish accent just because he thought it was better and convinced them to do it, is why we have the greatness of Shrek now. Thank you good sir.
-
So nice to see Mike acknowledge the artists who helped him being funny. Not many in the film industry do this simple important crew name dropping. So often the crew are completely forgotten.
-
I have to say a big thanks to Mike Myers for Austin Powers, he showed that even guys with glasses with bad teeth can be confident heroes who save the world in the company of beautiful girls. This movie always makes me feel good.
-
I wish this was an hour . I love listening to him. He’s so well spoken, humble and funny.
-
It's great how he names the people that he worked with years ago and tells about how much they helped him! Great movies aren't made by one person!
-
God, I wish this was longer. I could watch him talk about these movies for hours.
-
MOLEYMOLEYMOLEYMOLEY is still one of the funniest lines ever.
-
It’s amazing how obviously his Austin powers chest hair he says is based on Sean Connery is exaggerated, but it’s probably exactly how he actually saw Connery’s hair as a kid
-
I grew up watching Wayne's World, and then Austin Powers, and Shrek. The amount of times in a week that I still reference one of these films is ridiculous. Love you forever, Mike!
-
Really nice to hear how readily he credits and praises his collaborators, and how much genuine thought he puts into characters and movies. He's one of those actors whose movies have been a part of my life for pretty much the entirety of it, but I think this is the first behind the scenes thing I've ever seen him in. I'm glad to find that he seems like a nice guy.
-
he’s honestly such a genuine and kind person, as well as so grateful for all of the people he’s worked for, words can’t express how kind and good of a person I think he is :)
-
Wayne’s World, Austin Powers and Shrek ARE my childhood. I would just watch them all on repeat. Mike Myers almost feels like a family member to me at this point
-
Holy crap. Not only has he been funny for decades, he's genuine and knowledgeable. I have a lot of respect for him caring about crew members that helped create these iconic films and I'd love a film podcast with Mike Myers.
-
he is such a gem, my childhood wouldn't nearly as funny without him
-
He’s just so humble and lovable, truly a real gentleman. I always have respected him.
-
He’s a classy man other than a comedian and a high profile actor. He helped made Austin Powers a phenomenal icon.
-
He's so much more reserved and gentlemanly than you would expect because of the characters he plays. Such a lovely man. My dad was very ill and toward the close of his life laughed little so I put Austin Powers on, hoping to get a smile out of him. The scene where Austin is showered had dad going. It was such a relief to me to see him laugh. Thank you Mike Myers.
-
I love Mike's vibe. He seems like a genuinely nice guy. His small gestures that he does to make people chuckle a bit, I love it. He is like this friend who always tries to cheer you up. I wish him well, he is one of this generations comedic icons.
-
Just like Rowan Atkinson, Mike Myers comes across very relaxed and intellectual. Yet they are both legends of comedy in their own ways
-
Mike Meyers practically raised me 😂. My siblings and I got into Queen because of that scene in Wayne’s World. It’s the only music all 5 of us can agree on.
