  43. glossaria2

    June 2, 2022 at 12:43 am

    Taika Waititi doesn’t actually need therapy. His therapist just asked him to keep coming by because his down-to-earth nature helps his therapist stay sane. 😀

  51. Nicolette

    June 2, 2022 at 4:46 pm

    Honestly, no one gives me career envy like Taika. But not only that, he gives me a lot of hope and motivation to start my film journey at the “old age” of 28.

    June 3, 2022 at 4:49 pm

    Can you imagine on the set of love and thunder, the cast is ready and everyone working on lights, cameras, stage full production team is all ready and Taika comes in with a coffee in hand and asks ok all what are we doing today.

  96. Josh Kresnik

    June 3, 2022 at 11:29 pm

    This guy is one of those directors who I would literally trust anything with, without question. I write books and stories and if I lost the rights, or if they happened to land in his lap, even if I owned the rights, I would trust him without question. he’s just one of those writer directors I trust with everything because he’s brilliant he’s funny he’s got wit and everything he does is just awesome

    “literally just ripping off a book”
    The film would not have been any good had he just ripped of that book. I have heard descriptions of said book, and the similarities are slim, and the differences for the better.

  151. Mali Cia

    June 6, 2022 at 7:26 am

    Honestly… Taika Waititi should be in Bridgerton. 🤔
    Is there a role that could suit him? (Never read the books.)

    Here’s one: “When will Taika be canceled for telling an actor to take off their clothes for a scene when they were uncomfortable, and literally referring to them as a piece of meat?”

    Taika being a painter before director makes so much sense as to why his movies are so artfully designed🤔

    Eagle vs Shark is like the NZ version of Napoleon Dynamite

    taika not knowing if he’s in bridgerton is the crossover i needed

  160. Cassie

    June 6, 2022 at 8:09 pm

    In every role Taika does, he just plays himself 🤣

  161. Sarah Lotz

    June 6, 2022 at 8:55 pm

    Taika forgetting the names of his roles is the funniest thing ever I love him

  162. Mr. Wilkinson

    Dude played one of the greatest Hitlers ever of all time

  163. Clif Porter

  168. Ray Gun

    June 7, 2022 at 8:53 am

    I like this dude, and he seems hilarious, loved Thor ragnarok, but he dosent seem very humble.

  169. Bryndis Reed

    June 7, 2022 at 9:17 am

    I am so thankful that he said he was around 30 when he entered the film scene! Because I was 27 when I made my first short film and always felt like I was too old to enter this race!

    Thanks for the confidence boost and inspiration, Taika! 🙂

  170. Kylie Humphries

    June 7, 2022 at 9:18 am

    Annnnnd this just made me love him even more. Been a fan since hunt for the wilderpeople and what we do in the shadows. He’s a bloody legend.

  171. Becky Marshall

    June 7, 2022 at 9:50 am

    ok but eagle vs shark is just the first feature film he directed – his first acting role was scarfies (1999) which was absolutely terrible and iconic at the same time

  172. Keanou Kirchner

    June 7, 2022 at 11:17 am

    he’s so silly

  173. johanazhari

    June 7, 2022 at 11:44 am

    Taika Waititi should make a movie with Jeff Goldblum. That would be fabulous!

  174. Anusree Murali

    June 7, 2022 at 11:48 am

    How Taika Waititi? He good.
    I couldn’t hold in my laughter🤣🤣

    this video gave me questions

  177. Ribbitt III

    June 7, 2022 at 2:15 pm

    The big question is if he’s just in his comedic character this whole video or not.

  178. Emily Tharp

    June 7, 2022 at 2:59 pm

    I love him so much dude

  179. Emily Tharp

  183. Ken

    June 7, 2022 at 5:19 pm

    Eagle vs Shark was so uncomfortable, and honest, and endearing

    I saw it a couple years after it hit DVD, and I remember watching an interview of Taika saying “I don’t know the rules for romance movies. So I just did whatever I wanted”

    Then I saw him again in an interview for Thor Ragnarok, and felt like my life came full circle haha

  184. Blap

    June 7, 2022 at 5:57 pm

    Can he sing the new trending song “jiggle jiggle”

  185. Sam Baron

    June 7, 2022 at 7:58 pm

    The funniest thing to me is that he is Jewish and played Hitler in a movie he directed. 😂

  186. angrynorway

    The first Taika Waititi film I saw was “Hunt For The Wilderpeople” (2016) and it was such a quirky, energetic, yet heart-touching film. I’ve noticed a lot of his films since then are like that: action-based, but ultimately sweet.

  191. Julia Costello

    June 8, 2022 at 2:29 am

    I need Taika and Jeff Goldblum in a room together. Now. 😂😂😂😂

  192. Roseanna Rios

    June 8, 2022 at 3:30 am

    I absolutely love Taika! He’s effortlessly charming, adorable and hilarious. He’s like a Kiwi Maori version of Robert Downey Jr.
