The Rudder

Writer/producer/director/God-of-Comedy Judd “Summer Of” Apatow interviews actor/producer Paul “Stephen” Rudd for Interview magazine.

Apatow: Did having Michelle Pfeiffer as your leading lady create any problems with your wife?

Rudd: It didn’t at all. In fact, the very first day, I had this scene where I was supposed to be making out with Michelle Pfieffer. I told my wife, “Look. I want you to know that I am going to be making out with Michelle Pfeiffer today, and I will be thinking about… Michelle Pfeiffer.” My wife’s response was that when she makes out with me she also thinks about Michelle Pfeiffer.

Apatow hits on something there, Rudd is just a tiny bit twisted in the eyes. I could easily see him in a Ted Bundy role; starts off charming/wholesome and then he turns.

People keep saying that Pfeiffer is still so hot, and she does look good for her age in natural light. Or shade. Onscreen, not so much.

A lot of the newer crop of actors are on the short side: Rudd, TheBeouf, Levitt, Justin Long. What up wid dat?

can’t wait for the issue where Ethan Hawke interviews himself.

beyond hot. more movies please.
