Simon Pegg has just ruined popcorn for us. Cheers Simon Pegg. We bloody loved popcorn. Popcorn used to be one of our favourite things to have in and around our mouth... and sometimes stuck in our hair, when the cinema is super-dark.
*WHY? Why has Simon Pegg ruined the most delicious kind of corn for us? Well, while being interviewed with Lake Bell to promote his new film Man Up, Simon was asked what kind of movie he'd go and see on a first date, to which he said:
*"There are two great kinds of date movie, there's the romance film that gets you in the mood, then there's the scary movie that makes you contact each other physically."
Fair enough, Simon. That sentence makes sense and hasn't ruined popcorn for us at all. Well done.
Then Mr Pegg continues: "Then there's any kind of movie where you put your dick in the popcorn and hope for the best."**
Great, thanks Simon Pegg. Now we're going to be perpetually terrified that all our popcorn has rogue dicks lurking in it. THANKS.*
What's the best you can hope for when you put your penis in popcorn? Mild genital-related burns? Buttery balls? Being touched for a millisecond before being slapped, dumped and/or arrested. It's not a good move. Don't try it at home. Or at the cinema. And everybody stay the hell away from our popcorn, especially you, Simon Pegg.
Man Up hits cinemas on 29 May 2015
