Rogan admitted to his guest his love for Benicio del Toro, who appeals to him as “cool”. However, Theo Von was quick on his feet to insert an amusing jab as he pointed out how Spanish people always seemed cool at things because it was neat to say their names.
The UFC personnel, impressed by his guest’s quirky explanation, did an impression of Benicio del Toro’s name and continued. He said, “He is cool. I remember when he was in the Johnny Depp movie about Hunter S. Thompson- ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’. Oh, that was a great movie.”
“He got fat for that movie, too. That was a f**king great movie. That movie makes me wanna do drugs,” he added later.
While Theo Von gasped at the revelation, Rogan went on and stated, “Basically, wanna do drugs and go to Vegas. Fun f**king times.”
Following this, the standup comic extended his paise of del Toro as he mentioned the actor starred as the werewolf in another project. But, The Wolfman ended up being a “car bomb movie”.
