Nick: That was all me and I did it twice. I got badly injured after the effects of adrenaline wore off. I was on blood thinning medication so I didn't get a life threatening clot.

Rob, did you have any idea that Gavin and Stacey would be as popular as it was?
RobNickTheHuntsman30 karma
Rob: Nick, what did you think? Nick: I haven't seen it. I watch a lot of poverty porn. That's my thing. Rob: I thought it was a really strong script and I had some DVDs ahead of it going out, which I showed to friends and relatives and I had an inkling than. Like Little Britain, it seemed to catch on with people in indecent haste.

Hi Rob, what has been one of your most memorable moments from filming Would I Lie To You?
RobNickTheHuntsman37 karma
Rob: Nick when he dressed up in a cuddle jumper and Kevin Bridges telling the story of how be bought a horse by accident.
Elgin_McQueen17 karma
Which would you rather appear in. A League of Gentlemen Xmas Special, or a Peep Show Xmas Special?
RobNickTheHuntsman37 karma
Nick: I had nothing else to do so I became an actor. And I realised I was alright at it. Rob: More than alright Nick, adequate. I always wanted to be an actor.

Hey guys! What was it like working with my all time woman crush Emily Blunt?
RobNickTheHuntsman23 karma
Rob: Emily is a delight. She's witty as well as being beautiful. She's like Nick but in female form.
thebeautifulsolution10 karma
Who would you rather play twister with?
Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt or Chris Hemsworth.
RobNickTheHuntsman13 karma
Nick: I'm going to say Chris Hemsworth. Rob: Yeah, I would say the same. Nick: Why can't we all play?! Rob: Yes, good answer!

Hey Nick!
I love all your work with Simon Pegg, especially Spaced and the Cornetto Trilogy. I noticed that most of the films are written by Simon and Edgar, I wanted to ask if you had any imput on any of these films or if in the future you would like to take a bigger role in writing any future films you do with Simon and Edgar? (assuming) like you had in Paul and Cuban Fury which I both loved.
Rob!
You are one of my favourite presenters and especially love Would I Lie To You? As an Italian who has been living in Britain a long time, can I ask you what your favourite moments were while filming the Trip to Italy with Steve Coogan? Was there any moment which was particularly funny/amazing or stood out for you?
Many thanks.
RobNickTheHuntsman15 karma
Nick: Obviously I have an input and I'm around from the beginning and I'm there when we finesse the final thing. There was a possibility I could do that in World's End, but they did such a good job on Hot Fuzz and Shaun of the Dead that I didn't want to mess with that. Don't fix if ain't broke. Rob: Yes, thank you. I particularly liked being on the Amalfi Coast, especially Rovello and Capri. Rovello is my favourite place, and the cafe that I filmed in Capri was beautiful. In fact, I was wish I was there now. Oh, and Pompeii, much bigger than I expected!
Sdub47 karma
Nick, which instalment of the so-called Cornetto trilogy was most fun to make?
RobNickTheHuntsman18 karma
Nick: Hot Fuzz was the most fun to make. Shaun of the Dead was kind of frightening in term of nerves and not wanting to get it wrong. In Hot Fuzz, I got to spend time in hot Somerset for months.

What's the most unexpected thing that's happened on the set of a film/TV show during filming?
RobNickTheHuntsman9 karma
Nick: We wrapped early on the last day. We wrapped on Saturday but the rumour mill said that it would be on Tuesday. Which was unexpected. Rob: Yes, it was exciting! Well not exciting but unexpected.
hunter97 karma
Rob - Any plans to bring back Keith Barret? I'd particularly like to see you remake Tom Hanks' "Cast Away" with Keith as the lead.

Question for Rob, as an epic Welshman, I'd like to know your favourite part of Wales to visit when you're taking a break from filming and why? Big up the Wales Massive!
RobNickTheHuntsman10 karma
Rob: I would say it is the mid Wales area, especially Capel y Fin. That area of Wales is unsung and all the better for it because it doesn't get too crowded. So much of Wales is so beautiful.
RobNickTheHuntsman6 karma
That's all we have time for. Thanks so much! Don't forget that The Huntsman: Winter's War is in UK cinemas on 4th April.
RobNickTheHuntsman9 karma
Nick: I hate being with myself, so I'll say Rob. Rob: Together we were a party. You're making a film with swords and magic, so it's fun. We spent so much time on location, and I knew Nick well, so it was all fun. We never actually worked together, aside from being a voice on Shaun of the Dead.
underhero25 karma
Huge fans of you both... If you could write and star in your own movie together, what would the title be and what would it be about?
RobNickTheHuntsman14 karma
Nick: If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Rob: We would be 2 brothers who inherit some money from their parents who died tragically and we would fight over who gets the money. Nick wants to open a nature reserve but I want to start a nightclub and restaurant.
YoungDumbass5 karma
If you could be a movie, what movie would you be, and what format would you be in? (Blu-Ray, film reel, VHS etc.)
RobNickTheHuntsman10 karma
Rob: If I could be a movie I'd be Field of Dreams. I'd be a limited edition boxset with a free baseball mitt. Nick: Maybe Bambi. In proper 35 mil ratio.

What's the funniest thing that happened on set?
RobNickTheHuntsman6 karma
Rob: We had lots of laughs. Nick: It's difficult to pinpoint. Rob: It was just general contentment and mirth. We looked forward to going to set, even though it was the crack of dawn. Nick: Not necessarily the funniest thing, but the funniest thing was that we rode in a helicopter to work. In a Marine One helicopter. Rob: Yes that was funny.
RobNickTheHuntsman5 karma
Nick: No I have one slice left. It was from my birthday and I'm going to flush it tonight.
kuirki3 karma
Hi Rob!! Wow, such a huge fan. I loved Human Remains. Have you any work coming up with Julia Davis or Ruth Jones again?
RobNickTheHuntsman5 karma
Rob: No. Thanks very much, I'm glad you liked it because it was one of the favourite things I've done.
RobNickTheHuntsman7 karma
Rob: Comedians in Cars Getting in Coffee and The Night Manager! Nick: Life on Benefit Street.
unEquals3 karma
how long did it take to adjust to the fact that you will always look uncool alongside Chris Hemsworth?
RobNickTheHuntsman13 karma
Rob: Pretty quick. What a hurtful question. Nick: I think the notion of cool and uncool is a grey are. Rob: Which we certainly clear up! It became apparent after minutes of meeting him. If I were half the man Chris is, I'd be a little taller!
courtiebabe4203 karma
What was your favorite part of making The Huntsmen? What was the hardest part of making The Huntsmen?
RobNickTheHuntsman5 karma
Nick: Hardest part was 3 hours of make-up. Favourite part was hanging out with Rob and Chris Hemsworth and having a laugh.
Rob: I did enjoy that time with the make-up people but having having the technical aspects was hard. I liked doing something that was bigger than the sum of it's parts. You do your part and so much is added into it before you see it.
RobNickTheHuntsman10 karma
Nick: Can't choose. Rob: You shouldn't have to choose. Shaun of The Fuzz, a lovely combination of the both.

Hey Rob!
What do you think's the craziest story you've heard on Would I Lie To You?
RobNickTheHuntsman9 karma
Rob: Kevin Bridges accidentally buying a horse in Bulgaria. That one really takes the biscuit!
deviantmoomba1 karma
Hello! Hope you're having a pleasant day! I was wondering if you could tell me what's the best way to get used to speaking in public/talking on stages without being nervous? Do you two still get nervous when you're performing?
(Also Rob, your singing voice is amazing. Mega jealous!)
RobNickTheHuntsman3 karma
Nick: I think it's alright to be nervous. I think you'd be a cold blooded serial killer if you didn't get nervous. You just get used to the nerves instead of letting cripple you. Rob: On the surface I think I'm pretty relaxed something but than your mouth will be a little dry, or you need to do a little poo or wee.
TAFAisLIFE1 karma
Who would win in a fight between you guys and Chris Hemsworth with one hand tied around his back?
RobNickTheHuntsman4 karma
Rob: Us. We would. Nick: I don't think he needs to have a hand tied behind his back. You don't know what we're like as fighters, just because they play a Norse God does not mean they're a good fighter. Rob: I fight low, hard and dirty.
spurs-r-us1 karma
Hi Rob - huge fan of yours from Australia (inexplicably loved the way you played Nugent in BB for years, and couldn't believe it when I saw it was you on WILTY). Is there any chance you might do a third version of The Trip?
RobNickTheHuntsman1 karma
Rob: Yes, very real chance. We're going to Spain and it's happening in autumn.
psyne1 karma
How do you both like working on a non-comedic movie? What's the most different about working on serious movies vs. comedies?
RobNickTheHuntsman2 karma
Nick: Personally no difference at all. Rob: Nick feels we put too many labels on things. Just look at apples, we have the Cox, Granny Smith, and they're all just apples. Comedy people don't see a distinction because they see the world in a comedy perspective. It's all bringing people to life and playing parts.
RobNickTheHuntsman1 karma
Nick: Yeah I am a big fan. I think my favourite wrestler is Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock.
RobNickTheHuntsman5 karma
Nick: I had a smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel. And a coffee. Rob: Porridge with blueberries and raspberries. My favourite of the berries, I also enjoy the straw and the logan.
SotonSaint1 karma
Rob is there going to be another series of 'the trip?' Nick is there ever going to be more 'well respected man?' It was bullshit that it got cancelled.
RobNickTheHuntsman1 karma
Nick: No more Mr Sloan. I wish I had better news because I loved that character. Rob: Yes we're doing more The Trip but we're going to Sky Atlantic with it.
ACSarahAC1 karma
Any chance the two of you will write and/or perform something together in the future? I'd love to see some more of you both together.
RobNickTheHuntsman1 karma
Rob: Yes, I'd like to I think we had a lovely back and forth chemistry and worked really well together. Ideally without 2 or 3 hours of make-up every morning. Nick: Even with that!
RobNickTheHuntsman3 karma
Rob: I love Bob Mortimer! He's probably my favourite guest because his stuff is everything - it's funny, weird, beguiling. Lee is the one I know most because he's a neighbour.
RobNickTheHuntsman3 karma
Nick: Together. Never happened. Rob: I saw Force Awakens. And we saw The Huntsman together! Nick: I also saw Zootropolis which was really good.
jack0rias27 karma
Nick, did it hurt when you fell through the fence, or was that a stunt double?
