Seth Rogen and Billy Eichner attend the world premiere of Disney's"Mufasa: The Lion King" at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Dec. 9.as lovable warthog Pumbaa, as they bring the comic relief to the Pride Lands. At the Los Angeles premiere on Monday, Eichner toldthat “maybe 90 percent” of the duo’s lines in the prequel are improvised, as they record in the booth together.
“They’re an unlikely duo and they’re the ultimate outsiders,” he continued of the characters, joking, “They’re always desperate to be in the center of the story which they never are — unless Disney makes a Timon and Pumbaa prequel, which we’re very excited about. That hasn’t been announced, we’re just putting it out there.”Eichner mused of what that project may look like, “Lin-Manuel , who had the audacity not to write a new Timon and Pumbaa, had better write some songs for the prequel.
Pierre, who takes over the Mufasa role previously voiced by the late James Earl Jones, also noted on the carpet that the iconic actor “is a hero of mine, of course within the context ofbut he has been a hero of mine from the very beginning, way before I even turned professional.
