In an interview with CNN’s Joe Johns, Will Ferrell & Zach Galifianakis respond to Romney’s aide cursing at the press. Highlights from the entertaining interview are after the jump.
JOHNS: Yes. And I know — the interesting thing, as we talked a little bit about the baby at the start, we actually saw the baby character appear in another movie that you were in, which was the — the Las Vegas movie, “The Hangover.”
How does this theme reappear?
Is that something you had to do with or?
GALIFIANAKIS: My — I won’t do a movie unless it has a little baby in it.
—
JOHNS: Well, we’ve been hoping to get your reaction from — from your characters on some of the current events. We want to play you what Romney traveling press secretary said today in Poland to the press covering…
(CROSSTALK)
JOHNS: — Governor Romney.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
JOHNS: You may have already heard this one.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Governor Romney, do you feel that your gaffes have overshadowed your foreign trip?
RICK GORKA, ROMNEY AIDE: This is a Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Governor Romney, just a question…
GORKA: Show some respect, Jim.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We — we haven’t had another chance to ask him questions.
GORKA: Kiss my (EXPLETIVE LANGUAGE). This is Holy site for the Polish people. Show some respect.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
(LAUGHTER)
GALIFIANAKIS: I haven’t seen that.
JOHNS: No?
FERRELL: I hadn’t seen that one.
JOHNS: Right.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
JOHNS: It’s sort of right out of your movie.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, my gosh.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Pretty much.
JOHNS: What’s your reaction?
GALIFIANAKIS: He — he’s upset at some — somebody yelling a question, is that what he was upset?
JOHNS: Right. Yes.
FERRELL: Yes.
JOHNS: Yes. Well, what would your character’s reaction be to that?
FERRELL: Oh.
GALIFIANAKIS: I would just probably say don’t use that kind of language.
(LAUGHTER)
GALIFIANAKIS: You know, because that’s probably…
JOHNS: Your character…
(CROSSTALK)
JOHNS: — uses that language all the time.
FERRELL: Cam would probably say I — I use that language at least five times a day and sometimes you lose your — your — your temper. And it’s OK to curse.
(LAUGHTER)
JOHNS: Thank you so much.
