Simon Pegg shows off the geekiest objects in his home

"I’m in the place for memorabilia!"

Radio 1’s film critic Ali Plumb caught up with Simon Pegg about his latest film, Lost Transmissions, and while they were chatting, Ali couldn’t resist asking what collectibles he might have around the house.

Self-confessed nerd Simon did not disappoint, coming straight back with, β€œI’m in the place for memorabilia!”. He then panned the camera to, β€œthe shelf of me”, which he dubbed, β€œmy secret shame”.

He explained how the haul of miniature figurines was: β€œAll the toys that you can get that are of me, and Nick [Frost] is involved as well. I could be criticised for having that shelf of all my stuff, but then you f* would, wouldn’t you?! Excuse me.”

He revealed a present given to him by Lisa Henson, CEO, and President of the Jim Henson company, before going through into the other room to show-off the life-size Stormtrooper, his wife gave him for Christmas, complete with an honorary member badge.

Anyone else thinking that the contents of their living room are fairly average now?
