Jim Carrey is currently promoting I Love You Phillip Morris in the US and in a recent interview with Parade Magazine, the rubber faced actor dished the dirt on sucking face with scottish crumpet Ewan McGregor.
Carrey said of the script:
“There are very few scripts that I would come across that I would pay to do and this was one of them. I didn’t mind taking a big salary cut. I’m here to do extreme and interesting things. I liked the guy I played and I hated him. But the one thing that always stayed with me was the idea that he was relentless about love, and all of us understand that. I’m a desperate man myself.”
And on snogging the hottest thing to come out of Scotland since Rod Stewart‘s dayglo speedos, Carrey said:
“A dream come true. I mean, look at the guy. I have to say, he is a great kisser. As Ewan said, ‘When you’re kissing another guy it can get a little prickly.’ Actually, you had to put out of your mind your own sexual preference and just try to understand that you were loving another person who just happens to be a guy. It wasn’t about male or female, love is love.”
This is where we would love to say that off set in Jim’s trailer the pair practised their scenes by bumming the arses off each other and group shagging ex-spa boys (all booked by John Travolta).
But alas. That didn’t happen.
And just in case you haven’t seen the movie already (tis funny) here’s the trailer….
