DONALD GLOVER: Hey, Zazie. How’s it going?

ZAZIE BEETZ: I’m good. Oh, wait. Sorry, somebody’s calling me. Oh, god. My mother’s calling me. Hold on. Actually, never mind. I’ll call her back later. How are you?

GLOVER: Crazy, but good. I’m living mostly in London now. It’s the first time I’ve lived-lived there. The food sucks. Everything is fatty but, like, not tasty. Soul food is heavy, but at least it’s flavorful. Anyway, congratulations. You’ve been busy.

BEETZ: And still, I wish I could be doing the Star Wars movie with you. [laughs] I started training this week [for the Deadpool sequel] and I don’t really go to the gym, so my body’s been like, “What the fuck?” All of a sudden I’m craving fruit and celery.

GLOVER: [laughs] Meanwhile, I just ate three burgers. I guess we could keep talking about random shit or I could ask you some actual questions. Do you consider yourself a hippie?

BEETZ: I feel like maybe you’ve had a similar thing, but recently I’ve realized that the body, the world, and the mind are all one thing. I’ve begun feeling that my responsibility is to the Earth. Our generation’s war is climate change, so I’ve really been modifying how I eat and what I eat.

GLOVER: It’s not like I’m proud of eating those burgers.

BEETZ: Agriculture is one of the biggest causes of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Cars? Planes? Trains? Nope. Cow farts. I struggle with feeling like I should go completely vegan, but I had a donut yesterday, and that shit was good.

GLOVER: This is the first time in human history where you can be like, “I want cheesecake,” and you can just have it.

BEETZ: Without having to raise it and kill it. Didn’t you want to kill a pig at some point?

GLOVER: I wanted to see if I could. My thinking was that if I couldn’t kill it, I also couldn’t eat meat. A lot of people have social agendas now. Everyone has a brand, and part of that is an online social agenda. Do you feel that you need to contribute to that conversation?

BEETZ: I do, actually. But I don’t have a Twitter account. I don’t really do Facebook anymore, and sometimes I’ll go six months without checking Instagram. I do wonder if it’s my responsibility to spread a message of environmental awareness or political awareness or just, like, don’t be racist or whatever, but I don’t want to be the person who’s like, “Everyone be vegan forever!”

GLOVER: It’s hard to be a full person online.

BEETZ: If you Google yourself, do you feel like your whole personhood is represented?
