"No, I don't. Impossible," he said.

Theroux then said to Kyrgios that they may have been built using logs and blocks. But that's something the tennis star categorically doesn't believe.

“That’s insanity. The fact that, how is that possible they got every measurement correct and they’re all aligned?" he responded.

"And they did it with rolling large stones on logs is an insane statement.

Theroux then asked the tennis star about moon landings.

The 29-year-old said he had some 'thoughts' on the subject before playing the reverse card and asking Theroux if he thinks the Americans 'did land first'.

"What Andy Murray’s achieved in this sport is second to basically no one…unless you are Novak (Djokovic), (Roger) Federer, or Nadal, like, the next person is Andy Murray.
