Because, obviously, Hercules, there’s a person from the books as well.

And then they pivot and they uncover ‘It’s Hercules; it’s you.’ And I went, ‘What?’ Just like, ‘Would you say you are serious? Might it be said that you are f**king with me? Is this a wind-up?’ So definitely, it was as surprising to me as I think it has been to other individuals.”
