Hugh Grant jokes that he likes to 'take home a couple of extras' from movie sets: 'They're in my dungeon now'
- The "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" took place on Thursday at San Diego Comic-Con.
- During the panel, the cast was asked what they would take home from set.
During Thursday's "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the cast was asked what they would take home from the film's set during a Q&A portion of the hour-long panel.
Hugh Grant, who stars in the film as a rogue named Forge, gave quite the response despite being reminded that a child asked the question.
"For many years, I always take home a couple of extras," Grant said to a roar of laughter from the Comic-Con crowd.
Someone on the panel then elaborated to make Grant's answer more family-friendly by saying, "extra costumes."
Grant's response elicited an immediate reaction from costars Sophia Lillis and Regé-Jean Page who sat beside him on the panel.
Grant continued with the bit, much to the Hall H crowd's delight: "I've got quite a few now. And on this one, I've got a couple that are very pretty that I'm very, very pleased with. They're in my dungeon now."
When asked the same question, Rodriguez admitted that she took her character's ax from the set. During the panel, the actor also said she gained 10 pounds of muscle while training for the film.
Grant stole the spotlight during most of Thursday's "Dungeons & Dragons" panel from the very start.
Earlier in the panel, when the moderator said his notes read that Grant was a lifelong fan of the Hasbro game, Rodriguez quickly said, "I think you mixed it up with S&M."
After some laughter from the crowd, Grant went along with it.
"She's not wrong," Grant said to more laughter. "I've been an enthusiastic dungeon master for some years now."
He added: "That's a British pastime. National sport, almost. I believe that's why the Jonathans thought of me for this role, my reputation."
Also starring Chris Pine, Regé-Jean Page, and Sophia Lillis, "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" follows a thief and a group of adventurers as they "undertake an epic heist to retrieve a lost relic, but things go dangerously awry when they run afoul of the wrong people."
Directed by Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley, "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves" will be in theaters on March 3, 2023.
