10 Surprising Things Leonard Nimoy Did

9. He Happily Sent Himself Up In A Comedy Video With The New Spock

In 2013, Leonard Nimoy and Zachary Quinto made Star Trek fans very happy indeed by participating in a glorified Audi commercial. Only the commercial wasn't just a commercial - it became far more than that. It became comedy gold. Perhaps any project that brings two Spocks together is destined to break all physical laws and become much more than the sum of its parts. This one certainly did. Nimoy even sings The Ballad Of Bilbo Baggins during the course of the advert, which is one of those moments that causes fans to squee out loud with sheer joy. Play the above video and laugh long and hard as Nimoy shows just how willing he was to send himself up. Zachary Quinto's good in it too, naturally.
