like "avatar," basically. we all had the very tight-fitting -- me and nick cross in tight-fitting outfits. not that pretty. [ scattered applause ] >> jimmy: that could sell the movie alone, maybe, right there. yeah, yeah, yeah. he's a funny guy. >> in the film -- in the film we're identical twins. so, it was great. steven spielberg beat me up on set. it was one of the most amazing days of my life. >> jimmy: what are you talking about? you started a fight with steven spielberg? >> no, he was demonstrating to andy serkis, who played gollum in lord of the rings, how to rough my character up at one point, or it was a character, he used me. he said, "simon, let me do this." so he sat on top of me and -- "it's like this. it's like this!" and i was going -- [ laughter ] and then andy serkis is going, "you mean like this?" and i was going -- and i was laughing like i was being tickled because i was being, you know, basically man-handled by the creator of "e.t." and gollum. >> jimmy: and gollum as well. yeah, yeah. >> how did this happen? >> jimmy: it was the weirdest in my whole life. it is so wild. >> yeah. >> jimmy: then, i mean, "star trek," by the way, great job in "star trek." that was just phenomenal.

[ laughter ] it wasn't just leonard with -- you know he -- >> jimmy: no. you didn't meet him in a mall somewhere. >> it was like, i've known that character since i was nine, right. like '79 i think i started watching it on british tv, and then, you know, maybe 30 years later, exactly 30 years later, and i'm talking to the character, not just the actor but the character. and i kept sort of going -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: how could this be real? >> it was ridiculous. >> jimmy: how could it be real? well congratulations on everything. i hope everyone picks up this book "nerd do well." download it on your kindle, whatever you've got to do.
