But, Hill admits there was one show that DiCaprio attempted to convince him to watch, which didn’t like. “Leo made me watch The Mandalorianwhen we were making Don’t Look Up, and it was like, Baby Yoda was so cute, but I just didn’t give a fuck because I didn’t know anything that it was about,” Hill explained, saying that he does not normally watch sci-fi.

If asked if he’d be interested in participating in an upcoming sequel to the 2007 film Hill says that he has an idea for the kind of film it could be. “I haven’t presented this idea to anyone. What I’d like to do is, when we’re about 80, I want to make something like Superbad two. As in, ‘old-folks-home Superbad.’ Then, our spouses die, and we’re back on our own. This is what I’d like Superbad 2.to become, and it’s one of the ways I could ever achieve it.”
