The New Zealander said, ‘Oh, when I showed him something on an iPad and people were “when your wife came home” and you were like, “Look what’s my score on Wordle.”
He also joked about the viral meme saying, ‘Okay, yes. I had seen him. In fact, that’s exactly how he was on set.”
Waititi also recalled the origin of the meme. I said, “How’s that going to be and I want you to do this and it’s going to look really cool”. Because you will have a giant wolf and an army of zombies.” It’s like (Blanchett) “I could have taken a day off last year”.
