Hornet on Hollywood’Old School’ stars Vince Vaughn, Will Farrell and Luke Wilson chat with the Hornet
February 26, 2003
Noeh Nazareno: I noticed in the movie that each of your characters kinda have a poignant wrap-up in the end. Will, your character eventually got divorced, and Luke, your obvious linkup was with the romantic interest. These were unique moments in this kind of movie, it felt a little more genuine or dramatic. What do you guys feel about that, having that kind of opportunity in this kind of movie?
Will Ferell: I definitely think that’s what this movie brings, a little differently than what you may think going to see it, and it’s kind of what attracted the three of us to the material in the first place, because there was a little more behind the character than just going from one point to the other, which, I think, is a good point in bringing back to the comedy.
Luke Wilson: Whatever kind of movie it is, you’re gonna be more into it if you care more about the characters, you’ll have a better laugh, you’ll feel like you know the people better. It is a broad comedy, but we did want each character to be different, and to have a little back story to them.
NN: It must’ve been something to essentially work with Snoop Doggy Dogg on the movie, seeing as you were streaking the stage when he performed in the first party at Luke’s character’s house. Tell me about it.
WF: Snoopy, as I like to call him, that was probably more intimidating, as we shot that the very last day of shooting. So, I’d already done the streaking part by myself, so to actually be in front of Snoop Dogg, that was more intimidating. But I had my acting coach, Jim Bean, and actually, Vince got to play video games with Snoop.
Vince Vaughn: I didn’t actually get to spend much time with Snoop. But I was in my trailer, and I heard a knock on my door, and it’s like, “Snoop Dogg’s a big fan and he wants you to come hang out and play games.” We had a great time, played video games, and I see Luke, and he says, “How ya doin’?” and I say “Wuhhhh!” (sounding uncomprehensible).
