Mason Thames in How to Train Your Dragon
Thames plays Hiccup in the live-action film How to Train Your Dragon by Universal Pictures. The DreamWorks Animation film follows a young Viking who aspires to hunt dragons while friending a young dragon. Dean DeBlois directed the film, which will premiere on March 14, 2025.
In an exclusive interview TooFab, the actor discussed his high school experiences, including why he does not post on social media. Thames also called out to his Incoming cast members.
Getting to do this movie, this is like the closest, wildest thing I have to it because I didn't really have like an actual high school experience...If high school was as wild as this [Incoming], I'd be terrified.
He said, adding that his role as Hiccup is still with him,
Not a day goes by where I don't think I'm so lucky, so fortunate and grateful to have all of these opportunities and these awesome people around me...And yeah, How to Train Your Dragon, was some of the most fun I've ever had in my life. I'd be walking around sometimes and I'd start running like Hiccup.
The actor also revealed how he got his role in The Black Phone. He said,
It was when the pandemic first hit, so this was my first Zoom audition. It was quite weird and we had bad Wi-Fi. I'd say a line and it would take a few seconds for them to say something back. It got a bit awkward. Eventually I got a callback.
