Speaker 1: I was on on Steven Colbert Show last night, and
Speaker 1: uh I've tested potton. Mm hmm. You're saying I've tested
Speaker 1: on negative extremely negative three times today, so I should
Speaker 1: be fine. But this is probably a good idea. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: let we make this a very awkward first date. This
Speaker 1: is ah, this is my first time being in this situation. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is not This is like Putin's table when you
Speaker 1: talk to people. That's what this is. Yeah, let's figure

Speaker 1: We've got basically as intimidated as his advisor. But this
Speaker 1: is like long range cat. Welcome to the show. Thank you,
Speaker 1: for this is my first socially distanced interview. I like this,
Speaker 1: this is you know, we got the vibe going on.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on the movie. I like, first of all, I
Speaker 1: love Vikings. I love No, really, I grew up loving Vikings,
Speaker 1: just like the mythology, like the you know, the dragons
Speaker 1: of stories that everything, because you know you'll you'll you'll
Speaker 1: you'll watch stories or you'll read stories as a kid, right,
Speaker 1: but Viking stories always seems like it was like the
Speaker 1: best combination of everything. And you took what ten years
Speaker 1: to get this movie going? Pretty much? Yeah, pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I feel like it's pretty It's like your herit said,
Speaker 1: you are like a Viking essentially. Well, I was born
Speaker 1: in Sweden and from and I'm from a Sweden family,
Speaker 1: and my last name scar Scar actually means scar as
Speaker 1: a Viking name, goard means farm and it's a allegedly
Speaker 1: a place in on one of the islands outside of Sweden,
Speaker 1: So you're Viking. Who knows it was a thousand years ago,
Speaker 1: but according to my grandfather where direct descendants of scar
Speaker 1: Let me say something, if I have any name, if
Speaker 1: like my law name was Trevor Giant Slayer, I'd be like, yo,
Speaker 1: I slay giants, I'm related to people's slaves. Just just
Speaker 1: claim it. So so let's talk about the film a
Speaker 1: little bit. Man, It's I was actually it's funny. I
Speaker 1: was in the movie. I was watching everything everywhere all
Speaker 1: at once, and that's when I saw the first trailer
Speaker 1: for your film, and it was epic, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's there's this one scene where you grabbed, like someone
Speaker 1: throws a spear at you, and then like your character
Speaker 1: grabs a spear throws it Like that was the moment
Speaker 1: you know when you watch a trailer. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm in, I'm buying, I'm I'm buying my tickets. No,
Speaker 1: it's one of the most epic looking movies every well
Speaker 1: we want. That was kind of the reason I wanted
Speaker 1: to make the movie because I've never seen on a
Speaker 1: big epic Viking movie that took on the mythology seriously
Speaker 1: or really went in deep into the mythology and where
Speaker 1: you could experience on the fantastical world, the mythology the
Speaker 1: spirits through the eyes of someone a thousand years ago.
Speaker 1: So that was kind of the goal in starting. You've
Speaker 1: done it, man, it looks amazing. You look amazing in it.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, like this take is getting better
Speaker 1: and better. Actually, if uh, if Steven didn't have COVID,
Speaker 1: we would probably be making out as well. Thank you
