when the director wanted Jacob Anderson to improvise in Valyrian angrily and all he could come up with was "MIKE PENCE" @universoannericebr KELLY CLARKSON SHOW Eu sei de qual você tá falando. Yeah. Ha, ha. Então, eu nunca precisei improvisar numa língua inventada. So I was. I've never had to improvise in a made up language. Você sabe, como, tipo. You know, how, like. Ninguém se importou... Who among us? Yeah. Sim, mas teve uma noite... So there was one night. It was like, Foi uma cena muito estressante. a very stressful scene. Everyone's getting ready for a battle. tinha muita neve preta It's like, pitch black. It's snow. And the director just shouts over and was like, Jacob, e o diretor gritou e ele: Jacob, just. Just improvise somehing. improvise alguma coisa, fale algo que te faça ficar nervoso, Just say something that makes you angry. mas diga em Valiriano. but say it in Valerian. And I, e eu entrei em pânico panicked and I just started going. e eu comecei a gritar: Mike Pence, Mike pants! Mike pants! e eu gritei: Mike Pence... (vice-presidente dos EUA) Mike pants! I shouted, Meu Deus! E de novo, de novo! Mike pants! Oh, nay. Just got over and over and over again. E não foi algo político. And it wasn't even, like, political. você estava gritando? you're just yelling it. Like, Sim, eu estava tipo... you're just like, well, Talvez um pouco político. maybe a little bit political, Mas sim, era algo aleatório. but, I mean, what a random thing to say. I didn't know what to do. What did the other do? Eu não sabia o que fazer. O que os outros... What did the other do? E os outros atores riram? The other castmates laugh. They didn't hear it, but the director did. mas o diretor sim. Oh. So I came back and I was like, Então quando eu voltei, estão eu perguntei se tava tudo bem. was that okay? And he was like, e ele "não muito". not really. No, Na verdade não. I can't. Not really. Eu não posso usar isso. I can't use that. Yeah. E eu pensei... Ha, ha.
