Pegg: 'I went to convention in disguise'

Sc-fi geek-turned-movie star Simon Pegg has revealed that he was so desperate to go unnoticed at this summer's ComicCon that he donned a disguise.

The actor, who can be seen in How To Lose Friends And Alienate People from October 3, told the Boston Globe that he wore a Joker mask in order to peruse the event undetected.

He added that the San Diego convention was "the most unabashed display of enthusiasm you could get".

"People go and can totally be themselves and are applauded for it. It's just a joyous, heartening place to go," he said.
