Simon Pegg revealed that he was filled with excitement when he worked alongside Leonard Nimoy on Star Trek.
The British actor landed the role of engineer Scotty in J.J Abrams' version of the hit sci-fi series and Nimoy was on board in a cameo role.
At the film's UK press conference he said: "To become part of it, as a nerd, which is what I am, is extraordinary."
"When Chris [Pine] and I were doing our scene with Leonard Nimoy it was kind of weird because he was talking to me as the man I've known since I was 9, and it's not a man from this planet it's a man from Vulcan with pointed ears.
"It's kind of odd to have Leonard look at me say lines and [not] become very excited and need to go to the toilet.
So for me the joy of being part of this story is on a daily basis. I wake up and pinch myself, it's fantastic."
The new film goes back to the beginning following the crew of the Starship Enterprise as they set out on their first voyage together.
