Will Ferrell Interview for The Other Guys - Celebrity Interviews

Will Ferrell is this era’s Hollywood comedy king. With a string of hits under his belt from A Night At The Roxbury to Old School to Elf to Anchorman: The Legend Of Ron Burgundy to Talladega Nights: The Ballad Of Ricky Bobby to Step Brothers. While he’s dodged his fair share of bullets and bombs like 2008’s Land Of The Lost, the 43 year-old comic is poised to get right back on the horse as Hollywood’s reigning comedy king as Detective Allen Gamble in the comedy The Other Guys.

The film deals with a more humorous construction of the classic buddy cop subgenre. It was only fitting to begin with whether or not Ferrell ever had any desire to actually be one.

“No, I can’t say,” Will replies, “I mean I did as a kid. I would walk around with a pair of nun chucks on my side, which is not really law enforcement related. They were rolling pins. They were nunchucks made out of rolling pins. I guess like a martial arts thing. I built a jail in my closet and I would incarcerate my family from time to time. I guess I was like a vigilante, justice. Yeah, like a guardian angel type thing. I was six years old. Six to nine. Those three years.”

Will had this to say regarding the notion of teamwork.

“I feel like it’s more important to be really cutthroat on a set and not look out for each other,” Ferrell jokes, “That provides a certain tension. It makes for a horrible work environment, but boy does it pop on screen. In the end result, it works right? There’s no insurance.”

Ferrell was asked what was his personal favorite buddy cop films was.

“Turner & Hooch,” Will names, “Serpico is good.”

Ferrell says that compared to most comedies, he says the film, because of its buddy cop theme has more of a substance to it.

“This probably is the most plot-driven movie I’ve done, I would say,” Will says.

Directing and co-writing the film is Adam McKay, who founded the popular comedy website Funny Or Die with Will. Will was asked how Funny Or Die helps fuel their comedic creative juices to do feature films.

“That’s just really a sandbox for disposable fun ideas that we get to.... Read the complete interview here Celebrity Interviews

Eva Mendes Interview for The Other Guys - Celebrity Interviews

Eva Mendes has done many a gritty cop drama from Exit Wounds to Training Day to We Own The Night to Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans. She’s also done many comedies including Stuck On You, Hitch, and The Women.

Now the 36 year-old actress gets the chance to parlay the two styles of film together in her latest role as Sheila Ramos Gamble in the buddy cop comedy The Other Guys. In the film, Mendes’s character is the wife of Will Ferrell’s character, Allen, a forensic accountant who becomes a detective and teams up with a trigger-happy partner, played by Mark Wahlberg.

Eva was asked to comment on a remark Ferrell had made about being cutthroat with everyone on set in order to work as a team.

“I had the least lines, yeah,” Mendes claims, “I lost on that one.”

She was also asked whether or not Ferrell’s remarks were true that she, him, and the rest of the cast had a “party trailer” in-between filming.

“We burned it down,” Eva jokes.

Much of Mendes’s scenes in the film with Ferrell deal with how the people around them view her looks. When asked about how she feels about how the way men react to her in real life, she was surprisingly rather taken aback.

“Wow, I don’t know,” Eva replies, “I wish that people would know that, I don’t know, Help me. That doesn’t really happen. Oh, god. I’m going to sound like an asshole for saying this. But the truth is that the fame walks in the door before you do, if you guys know what I mean by that.”

“Please help me out,” she adds, “So you no longer know how men really react to you, they just react to ‘Dude, there’s that famous girl from Training Day in the other room”, you know? Kind of. No? But its like I just don’t feel like I get that genuine response anymore.”

As Eva continued, she brought up an incident that occurred with her former co-star Will Smith while they were promoting the 2005 romantic comedy hit Hitch together.

“I’ll tell you a little story actually,” Mendes recalls, “Went around the world promoting the film. And he calls me Reva. So one day we were in Rio, we were doing press..... Read the complete interview here Celebrity Interviews

Mark Wahlberg Interview for The Other Guys - Celebrity Interviews

When he’s not known for making the ladies swoon, Hollywood’s real-life Vincent Chase, Mark Wahlberg, has developed a reputation for kicking some serious butt in films like The Big Hit, The Corruptor, Three Kings, The Italian Job, The Departed, The Departed, Shooter, We Own The Night, and Max Payne.

Now the 39 year-old hopes to take his action persona into the realm of comedy with the buddy cop film The Other Guys. Wahlberg, being a veteran of cop films, says getting him to do the film was a slam dunk.

“I didn’t even want to read the script,” Mark recalls, “I didn’t care. They said would you be interested in doing a movie and I said yeah. They said would you like to hear the idea first, and I said if you want to tell me… If not we could just order dinner and drink more wine. Literally I’ve always wanted to do a comedy and get an opportunity to work with these guys. So it was just a dream come true.”

“I was going to have a lot of fun making this movie,” he continues, “I certainly felt very comfortable when it came to anything cop-ish or action. But with all the other stuff, I just basically wanted to follow their lead. I basically just did whatever they told me. I learned the lines. I’d show up. And I’d say the lines and then if they wanted me to try anything else, I’d certainly be willing to try anything. I’m killing it right now.”

In the film, Wahlberg plays trigger-happy detective Terry Holtz, who is assigned to teaming up a forensic accountant, played by co-star Will Ferrell, after he accidentally shoots New York Yankee captain Derek Jeter, who plays himself in a cameo. He was asked whether he had any input in having his character shoot the legendary Yankee slugger.

“No, but I was certainly thrilled,” Mark replies, “I felt bad though because he’s such a nice guy.”

Mark shared with us his most favorite scene in the film, a scene where Detective Holtz is beating up a character played by co-star Rob Riggle.

“I choked the shit out of that big motherfucker,” Wahlberg says of it, “I choked the shit out of Will, too.”
