“There were the obligatory porn films. One time, I stayed at a friend’s house. His parents were away and we went to the video shop,” he revealed.
“I’m pretty sure we were there for hours, just discussing: ‘So, are you [going to] pick this one?’ ‘Which one?’ ‘That one over there has a good cover.’ And so on and so forth!”.
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old received rave reviews for his performance of The Dude in a reading of The Big Lebowski.
