Quentin Tarantino hasn’t done a movie since Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. In the meantime, however, he became a father twice. This can turn viewing habits upside down, as statements by the director confirm in a new interview. In it, the expert on dirty dialogue and brutal shootings confessed his Admiration for a cartoon pig.
Quentin Tarantino loves the cartoon pig Peppa Wurtz
In the current issue of Empire, Tarantino spoke about the experience of watching Despicable Me 2 with his two-year-old son Leo. But he also spoke about a marvel of modern pop culture that has enchanted him: the cartoon Peppa Pig on the everyday adventures of a pig girl. The director of Pulp Fiction and Inglourious Basterds didn’t hold back in his praise. Peppa Pig is one less “consuming” Viewing experience than the Minions movie, but:
I actually really like Peppa Pig. I watch it often. I say it out: Peppa Pig is the greatest British import of the decade.

Peppa Pig
Who now justifiably shouts “WHAT ABOUT PADDINGTON‘, one thing to bear in mind: the sandwich-eating bear has been fizzing through children’s furry fantasies since the 1950s. Let’s hope that’s why Tarantino is passing the British icon in favor of the pig – and that son Leo is coming of age soon , where he can enjoy Paddington 1 and 2.
In any case, Tarantino became a father for the second time a few days ago. He and his wife Daniella Tarantino announced the birth of a daughter on Monday. Their name is not yet known.
Who is wondering now: Leo, born in 2020, was not named after Django Unchained villain Leonardo DiCaprio, but after Daniella’s grandfather. He was also, according to Tarantino in Jimmy Kimmel, “our little lion” .
