Our boy Julian Dennison started his movie career when he starred in Taika Waititi's New Zealand film, Hunt for the Wilder People.
Now, well... he's a pretty big deal! His next movie, Deadpool 2 came out last week and flew to the top of the box office. If you haven't seen the movie, get there and make sure you see it because it is crack up!
Julian Dennison has hit the American talk show circuit for his new film Deadpool 2, The Hunt For the Wilderpeople Star looked right at home in the hot seat on Jimmy Kimmel Live’s couch this week.
Dennison admitted he’s too young to watch Deadpool 2, a film with a reputation for high levels of bad language and violence. “I am 15, and it’s R16 in New Zealand, so I can’t watch it,” Dennison told Kimmel.
“Were your mother and father fine with the profanity in the movie?” Kimmel asked.
“There was some stuff that got cut out of the film. I remember doing a scene with Ryan (Reynolds) and he whispered in my ear, and I was like ‘my virgin ears, damn’. It was pretty intense. But yeah I did say it, but I can’t say it (now) because this is live television. So I said it and I freaked out,” Julian replied.
“But my parents really enjoyed the film though.”
Kimmell also asked Dennison what it was like filming Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Taika Waititi’s box office success.
“I was so proud of it, it was sort of my breakout movie,” he said. “I actually had an interview with Taika Waititi (director) two and a half weeks ago and he said ‘I just want to let you know, you owe your whole career to me.’”
“Haha, I didn’t want to say it to his face, his head is getting a bit big.”
