Australian actor Travis Fimmel made a memorable appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon recently, showcasing his new beer and sharing anecdotes from his career. Fimmel, best known for his role in the hit series Vikings, brought a couple of cans of his beer, Travla, to share with Fallon and the audience.
During the lively interview, Fimmel revealed that he grew up on a dairy and beef farm in Australia before venturing into acting. Alongside some of his farm-boy mates, he decided to create a beer that represented their own country and lifestyle. Travla, an ultra-low carb and low-calorie beer, was the result of their efforts.
Fallon, excited to try the beer, opened his can only to find it had a small dent. Fimmel explained that the cans had been in his suitcase for three weeks, causing the dent. They proceeded to open the cans and toast to their friendship.
As the interview continued, Fimmel shared a hilarious video he had made to promote Travla when the company was just starting out. The video featured Fimmel saving a wedge-tail eagle stuck in a fence on his mate’s farm. Fimmel released the bird ungracefully and used it to create a commercial for his beer.
The conversation then turned to Fimmel’s upcoming show, Dune: Prophecy. The highly anticipated series is set 10,000 years before the events of the Dune movies. Fimmel plays a mysterious character with hidden agendas, adding intrigue and suspense to the storyline. He described the show as “Jetsons on crack,” promising a thought-provoking and captivating viewing experience.
To conclude the interview, Fallon shared a funny story from the red carpet at the world premiere of Dune: Prophecy in New York. Fimmel convinced his friend Livo, who owns a farm nearby, to attend the premiere and support him. Initially hesitant, Livo joined Fimmel on the red carpet and even managed to score interviews with the show’s stars. Fimmel jokingly thanked his friend “Blade” for helping him out and making him laugh during the uncomfortable red carpet experience.
Dune: Prophecy premieres this Sunday at 9:00 p.m. on HBO and Max, promising audiences a thrilling and mysterious journey. As for Travis Fimmel, he continues to make waves not only in the acting world but also with his unique beer, Travla. Cheers to Fimmel for blending in perfectly with the cast of Dune: Prophecy and for bringing some Aussie humor to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
