Finally, interview counterparts who can keep up with Taika’s energy.

This is the most focused interview he has ever done. Distracting him with puppies so he doesn't get bored with the questions was a move xD.

[mossydreamz]

i love how this is the most collected, focused junket interview i've ever seen from taika and all it took was Four Puppies worth of ambient irregular (adorable) stimuli to even out his usual heaps of energy

[giulia]

4 puppies in the room and he still has the strongest puppy eyes game

[GargLassie]

Missed chance to ask him about Our Flag Means Death. He loves talking about that show. 🥰

[vilburbur]

He has said that he was a cat person before but cats broke his heart too many times. And here we are now.

[Zinakhan]

Gosh, he keeps looking better and better as he ages. 🤩

[IsabelInezNavarro]

Taika's love language being quality time is giving me inexplicable joy 🤗☺

[Dangomancer]

really nice of rhys to lend him one of his 'battle jackets'

[gracehowell.]

"Who cares about anything anymore?" - also me when surrounded by puppies

[tanyafollovver]

This is the best thing Taika has ever done

[JustHereForCats]

I adore Taika Waititi so much. He’s got so much charisma, and he seems like a genuinely fun person

[sophiaisabelle]

Taika must be having a good time. He couldn't seem to grapple that he would be surrounded with all these furry friends. He got too overwhelmed by their presence.

[Lizzy-eb]

Now give us a kitten interview with Rhys!!

[lordender_kitty_official]

This man is an absolute vibe. He seems like the kind of guy who, if you were buddies, would both give you random, inspirational quotes as well as sack you when you entered the room.

[iluvmusicforlife]

Taika is so chaotic in the best way. This should be the only way he does interviews from now on. 😂

[djm]

Love this dude! So genuine and real. Plus, hilarious AF!

[iheartthesmalls]

I love him so much❤ I've watched Boy a hundred times!

[tc]

chefs kiss to whomever his stylist is. this look is 1000%.
