Julianne Moore Talks Preparing For “Crazy, Stupid, Love”
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Crazy, Stupid, Love star Julianne Moore talked about working opposite Steve Carrell and how she prepared for her role in the new box office hit.
“You never really know – a lot of it has to do with your chemistry with that particular actor, especially when it’s supposed to be a very familiar relationship. But Steve is somebody I responded to right away,” she recalled about the early stages of production. “You’re always looking for nuances in each other and always mining that connection, really.”
Crazy, Stupid, Love, which arrived in theaters last Friday, tells the story of a husband (Carrell) separated from his wife (Moore) and his exploits as a single man. The romantic comedy also stars Ryan Gosling, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Tomei and Emma Stone.
“Basically the script starts with what you see on screen with her saying, ‘I want a divorce.’ But you can only imagine that there have been many months or even years that she’ been trying to communicate her unhappiness to him, and finally she can’t take it any more and she has to break it off,” she said, adding that the revelation that her character went to see the latest Twilight movie just to get away from her husband is “so funny” and “incredibly telling about their relationship.”

Trailer: ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’ starring Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone

Crazy, Stupid, Love: At fortysomething, straight-laced Cal Weaver (Steve Carell) is living the dream–good job, nice house, great kids and marriage to his high school sweetheart. But when Cal learns that his wife, Emily (Julianne Moore), has cheated on him and wants a divorce, his “perfect” life quickly unravels. Worse, in today’s single world, Cal, who hasn’t dated in decades, stands out as the epitome of un-smooth. Now spending his free evenings sulking alone at a local bar, the hapless Cal is taken on as wingman and protege to handsome, thirtysomething player Jacob Palmer (Ryan Gosling). In an effort to help Cal get over his wife and start living his life, Jacob opens Cal’s eyes to the many options before him: flirty women, manly drinks and a sense of style that can’t be found at Supercuts or The Gap. Cal and Emily aren’t the only ones looking for love in what might be all the wrong places: Cal’s 13-year-old son, Robbie (Jonah Bobo), is crazy about his 17-year-old babysitter, Jessica (Analeigh Tipton), who harbors a crush on Cal. And despite Cal’s makeover and his many new conquests, the one thing that can’t be made over is his heart, which seems to keep leading him back to where he began. from trailers.apple.com

They talk about how the movie started, casting of the film, their characters and more.

Robert Redford and Russell Crowe have joined the growing ranks of stars opposed to a strike.
