Which is funnier: Hangover 2 or Hangover?
Hangover 2 is equally funny; I hope audiences like the film. I think Todd (Philips) had a terrific concept in Hangover. The treatment to the film was so real and funny. There was no way we could have gone wrong. Warner Bros wanted to make a sequel before the first film came out, so it was planted in our mind even before the first film came out.
Why Thailand now? Is it wilder than Las Vegas?
I think Bangkok will supercede Vegas (in Hangover) in the character it plays in the movie.
What made Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and you click so well together? Are you friendly off-screen too?
Oh yeah, we have a blast on- and off-screen all the time. Our off-screen wolf pack also includes Todd (Phillips).
Is Phil still as carefree and wild here?
Yeah, I am the same.
How close is your role as Phil to real life?
Hell, no. However hung-over I am, I haven’t yet missed an entire night of my life yet.
Who has the best lines in Hangover 2?
That would be Zach. He does have some wacky punchlines and the way he executes it makes it even funnier.
What does the film have that Hangover didn’t?
Bangkok!
Your recent film, Limitless, won acclaim. So what’s your thing—thrillers or comedies?
I am open to all genres. I might sound cliched, but a good script and my character drives me to sign a film.
You’re topping the ‘hottest men’ charts. Do you like all the female attention?
Who on earth will not love female attention! It’s heartwarming to see people liking you and your work. I really appreciate it.
And your personal cure for a hangover?
Lots and lots of orange juice and sleep.
