Enjoy some photos I took of Andy while waiting in line at PopCon Indy 2024!
And the one mediocre shot I took of him during the panel Saturday:
The microphone wasn't working during the Q&A, so he walked over and handed the fan his own, and then stayed there while he answered the question. 🥺
- The Lord of the Rings cast once threw a Hedwig and the Angry Inch party where they all dressed in drag and drank heavily.
- Bill Nighy was apparently so funny during the making of Flushed Away that Andy struggled to get through takes.
- One of his big hobbies when he was a kid was collecting the model kits of classic monsters like Frankenstein, Dracula, and The Phantom of the Opera. (God I fucking love him so much)
- He said that, after Animal Farm is finally finished, one of his dream projects would be to adapt The Phantom Tollbooth! AND that he would love to play The Humbug! (Of course 😂)
- Speaking of: Animal Farm finally has an animation studio signed on and is fully locked in, so it's closer to being finished! Andy said the cast list will probably be announced soon, and that's it's an incredible list of actors he's very excited about.
- He did the Gollum voice and told the Diz story 😍
Side note: The reason I only took one picture is because, while I was watching him talk (I was smack in the middle of the second row!!), I noticed everyone around me had their phones out and pointed at him. And they were looking at their screens more than they were at him. So for the entire panel, he was basically looking out into a sea of phones instead of real, engaged humans. And I ABSOLUTELY get being excited and snapping some pictures (because I do it to capture the moment too!), but it was constant. For 45 minutes. I felt so bad watching him glance around, and I've been trying to be more present in my life anyway, so I put my phone away and enjoyed listening to him talk.
