Is donning a bikini and acting opposite Steve Buscemi one of those surreal moments every actress aspires to?
I was gearing up for that scene for months in my mind and in the gym, figuring out how to deal. Once I would get over the bikini part of it, then I had to get over the “I’m going to be making out with Steve Buscemi in front of a million people” part of it. Once we actually got there on the day and I had as much spray tan on my body as humanly possible, we just sort of went for it. We also had the entire neighborhood on the other side of the street, watching. Luckily, that was one of the last things we shot together, and Steve and I had spent a lot of time both on and off set hanging out, so it wasn’t as uncomfortable as it could have been. I was very nervous, but I think it looks pretty good, right? I was convinced! So Ari, let’s rush through the other projects you’ve got coming up next year because there’s about six million of them. I hear you have a cameo in Date Night with Steve Carell and Tina Fey? I do, I’m in one of the beginning scenes, which again: huge honor to be asked to do.
