“I’m a little worried about my big blue nappy or my chastity belt,” Grant said after being handed the action figure of his character, Forge Fitzwilliam.

When Pine, who plays Edgin Darvis in the film, received his action figure, he added, “I understand what Hugh is saying. I’m kind of in a brown diaper. I look better in blue.”

Then Grant Payne interrupted, “Should we set them on fire? That’s what I’ve been doing. Have you ever had an action man? My brother and I had a lot of action men and we’ve burned them. Why did we do that? We put them on zip wire and set them on fire, And then when we ran out of Action Men, we did it with our cousins’ Barbie dolls.”

Grant stated that Pine tried to get him to play the game on set, but the actor lamented that movie sets were no longer as exciting as they once were.

“Movies are so weird now. They’re weird because in the old days, by the end of the second week, you were all getting drunk in the evening and having dinner and falling in love with each other and all that,” Grant said. “It’s all stopped because of the phones. Everyone goes home and looks at Twitter. It’s sad.”

Grant added that there would be more specifics if phones were banned in the group.

“Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” premieres Friday.
