Actress Paula Patton was promoting the Warcraft film and stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to explain how she learned Orcish and the fact that she stretched her mouth for the film.
Fallon explained to Patton that he had actually spent time playing the game and was killed by other people during his months and months of play time. The host said he enjoyed playing the game but when he saw the film he said it was bigger than big.
He congratulated Patton and the Warcraft film on having the biggest non-opening weekend with $46 million made in one day.
Patton said she couldn't even fathom that response to the film and it was really amazing. Patton plays a character that is half orc half human in Warcraft and that she had to learn how to speak orc.
She says that the film took it seriously because they have an actual dialect and all of the words mean something.
The star said she also had to stretch her mouth for the film and wore the prosthetic teeth a lot to get use to them.
Fallon shared a clip of Patton in Warcraft which hits theaters on Friday, June 10. You can watch Patton's visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in the video below.
