To be able to go around to his house was a joy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another favorite Hollywood experience for Pegg came at the <i>Iron Man<\/i> premiere. Simon had worked with <b>Jeff Bridges<\/b> in <i>How to Lose Friends and Alienate People<\/i>, and seeing Bridges at the premiere, went to say goodbye. Bridges was speaking his brother Beau as well as <b>Jon Voight<\/b>, but when Pegg arrived, Bridges put his arm around Pegg.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Jon [Voight] was telling some story about Midnight Cowboy, or some film he had been in, so I just stood there listening with Jeff&#8217;s arm around my shoulder, thinking, &#8216;How the devil did I get here?'&#8221; said Pegg. &#8220;That was my Hollywood moment.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>To read more, head to the article located <a href=\"http:\/\/www.californiachronicle.com\/articles\/yb\/131681335\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In spite of the success of Star Trek XI, Simon Pegg is still low-profile in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2401],"tags":[2749,2750,2572,2751],"class_list":["post-5709","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-star-trek-xi","tag-bridges","tag-landis","tag-pegg","tag-voight"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":"","thumbnail":"","medium":"","medium_large":"","large":"","1536x1536":"","2048x2048":"","newsphere-slider-full":"","newsphere-featured":"","newsphere-medium":""},"author_info":{"display_name":"T&#39;Bonz","author_link":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/author\/tbonz\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/categories\/star-trek-xi\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Star Trek: XI<\/a>","tag_info":"Star Trek: XI","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5709"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6833,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5709\/revisions\/6833"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5709"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5709"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/trektoday.com\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5709"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
