Taika Waititi & Rhys Darby Take Lie Detector Tests | Vanity Fair
Ойын-сауық
Taika Waititi and Rhys Darby take Vanity Fair’s infamous lie detector test. Does Taika think he's as handsome as Timothée Chalamet? Has Rhys ever had a midlife crisis like his character Stede Bonnet on 'Our Flag Means Death?' As New Zealanders in Hollywood, do they feel an obligation to support fellow Kiwis trying to make it in the states?
Season one of Our Flag Means Death is streaming now on HBO Max.

The more interactions I see between these two the more I desperately want more romcoms that cast lead actors who are longtime friends and collaborators. It's clear the chemistry just hits differently when the people involved have been working together for decades, and I can't imagine OFMD working nearly as well if Stede and Ed didn't have that "in-character we just met for the first time ever, yet we fit together and interact like we've been in each others' lives for longer" vibe
