Simon Pegg likes happy sets

Brunei News.Net Monday 11th June, 2012

Actor Simon Pegg feels it's important to avoid starry tantrums on a movie set to maintain a comfortable environment for everyone.


The 42-year-old also says he enjoys working on a set where everyone is happy.

"I'm not some youngster believing my own hype, and I always enjoy working on a set where everyone's happy," contactmusic quoted Pegg as saying.

"I couldn't walk on set two hours late having refused to come out of my trailer, and feel the grips looking at me thinking 'Who's that' I'm not OK with that, but I can see how it happens," he added.
