Do you cast her because it’s convenient, or because she’s the best for the role?Ī: “Sometimes I think, could someone else play this part? Am I doing this with Leslie because it’s Leslie? I’ll try to run the names - who would I have cast if it wasn’t Leslie? And I can’t think of anybody. Q: Your wife has appeared in many of your films, but this is her largest on-screen contribution. Anyone who puts that facade of having their act together, I find is the first person who gets in trouble doing something in secret.” The whole idea that anyone is mature, I think is a lie. I go visit my grandmother in a nursing home - she’s 90 - and they all have the same issues: who sits where in the cafeteria, the cool people at one table. I think in a lot of ways, nobody wants to be mature.

Q: Would you say this movie is your most mature film to date?Ī: “I don’t know. And in a lot of ways, ‘Knocked Up’ is that period right after college of people not being sure what to do and dealing with how mature or immature they want to be.”

I did (the TV show) ‘Freaks and Geeks’ while I still remembered high school. In a lot of ways, I’m just tracking my life. You probably could not have explored these themes earlier, right?Ī: “I did this movie right when it was happening in my life. Q: You’re 45 years old and your wife is 40. I knew that if I did my process with my family and my children, something really alive would come out of it.”
I have a pet peeve about kids in movies in that it’s very rare that they seem like a family. The key for me was that 3/4 of the family was a real family so when they looked at each other, you could tell they love each other or they’re hating each other and the emotions are very real. Was it important to have your wife and kids involved?Ī: “Yes. And last we saw Maude, she was a little girl who didn’t understand how babies were born and now she’s a teenager.” “In the middle of the night it hit me: Pete and Debbie. There were so many tensions, the girls were fighting, Maude started junior high school and there was so much happening emotionally. Then after I shot ‘Funny People,’ I started thinking about how many strange things were happening in my house. I was pushing for the ‘Superbad’ sequel hard, but I couldn’t get anybody to go for it. Q: Did you always know you would revisit these characters down the road?Ī: “No, there was no part of me that considered it at all. On Friday, Apatow directs and produces “This is 40,” a comedy he wrote centered around the family first seen in his 2007 hit “Knocked Up” - Debbie (played by Apatow’s real-life wife Leslie Mann), her husband Pete (Paul Rudd) and their two children, played by Mann and Apatow’s actual daughters, Iris and Maude.įive years on from the raunchy pregnancy comedy, the new movie shows Pete and Debbie struggling through the ups and downs of marriage, parenting, work and finances now that they have entered their forties.Īpatow, 45, sat down with Reuters to talk about how his real-life family inspired a film he calls “a fabricated mutated version of our lives.” But for Stormy, it seemed lateral at worst and perhaps an easy day on set.Writer/director/producer Judd Apatow arrives with his family and cast members (L-R) Iris Apatow, Maude Apatow and Leslie Mann at the premiere of the movie "This is 40" at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California December 12, 2012. “If your goal is to be a more mainstream actress, it is perhaps a step down. “For Stormy, that was the easiest thing she did all week,” Rogen said. “It was easier to hire a porn star” to play a stripper rather than hire actresses who were not in porn, he explained. Both had strip club scenes, Rogen explained. Rogen insisted he has not seen Daniels in years, adding, “but she’s clearly done well with herself.”ĭeGeneres wondered why Daniels was featured in two of Rogen’s movies. “So it didn’t really occur to me that it would come out, or that anyone would care about it.”īut it became a story as politicians probe whether Trump’s campaign was involved in that payment in any way, while Trump continues to deny the relationship altogether, Rogen said he saw reports of her claim and thought to himself, “Oh yeah, Stormy told us all about that!”
And, as his campaign rolled out, it became clear no one really cares about anything he did,” Rogen described, accurately. “At the time when you asked a porn star who they have been sleeping with and the answer was ‘Donald Trump,’ it was the least surprising thing she could have said,” he insisted.
