” The “Star Trek” star joked that he learned to enjoy foods that he perhaps previously ignored, like seeds. Pegg was at the splashy premiere because he’s pals with director Steven Spielberg, with whom he worked on “The Adventures of Tintin” and “Ready Player One. ”PA Images via Getty Images©Paramount/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection He explained that he loves being around the acclaimed director “because if you say, ‘Hey, Steven, what was it like on ‘Jaws?
’ he’ll tell you. So for me, as a film fan who was so inspired by him growing up, to get that access to him has been a life highlight. ” Pegg agreed that he’s a “little bit” of a film nerd but declined to characterize himself as a regular nerd. Pegg explained that he got in shape for the franchise, “and then I realized it was actually a lot of fun to look after yourself.
”Pegg, seen here in June, came to the premiere to support his pal, Steven Spielberg. Pegg’s voice will be heard next year as Buck in the hugely successful “Ice Age” cartoon franchise.
“I love playing that character, and anytime the opportunity arises to do him, I’m more than right there,” he explained, noting he has no idea how much money he’s made from the flicks. Other celebs at the splashy Lincoln Center premiere included the movie’s stars, Emily Blunt, Colman Domingo, Josh O’Connor and Eve Hewson, along with John Krasinski, Paul Dano, Zoe Kazan and Neil deGrasse Tyson.
