Is that tough, doing something physically grueling like that?
WG: Well, I think fighting in Iraq is tough. So no, I wouldn’t call it tough. But you work 15 hours a day, and it’s not all red carpets and commercials for sure. It is a lot of work. But it’s for the greater good of telling a story. Shanghai Noon (2000)—”Wallace” WG: I think about Owen Wilson. That name. Owen Wilson. He became a friend over the course of that experience, and is one of the funniest, funniest people I’ve ever met. I also think about Jackie Chan. The first time I met him, we were all having dinner in a restaurant, and he walked in and I looked around and thought, “He could kick everyone’s ass in this restaurant in about 15 seconds. Literally, if he started with that guy right there.” That was a funny, funny movie. AVC: Did Owen Wilson do a lot of rewriting on the set to make the part his own, or was his character all in the script already? WG: Of course he was rewriting it on the set. He’s a writer, for Christ’s sake! And he understands that tone, and that sense of humor.
