How cool is it that Kurt Russell is your dad?

It’s so cool. It’s perfect.

What’s it like working with him?

For me, there are actors that I loved growing up – there’s a handful of them – and he is absolutely right at the top of that list, and has not once done anything to disappoint the inner child in me who was so excited when he got cast. He’s really cool. He’s absolutely an artist. Even though he’s kind of the ‘everyman’ kind of a character, he’s really an artist and he really cares deeply about all of the details of his character. We’re really kindred spirits I think. Me and Anna [Faris], and Kurt and Goldie [Hawn], I feel like we are the same in some parallel universe, you know what I mean? Anna’s often times been compared to Goldie Hawn, like in The House Bunny and things like that, and one of our favourite movies is Overboard. And I guess some people have made that comparison with me and Kurt, just kind of like a blue-collar type of dude, American actor. He loves to hunt and be outdoors and he’s, I don’t know, I just really, really love him. I’m in love with Kurt Russell. [laughs]

You’ve said you’ve asked him to be …

… my dad in real life. Yup. I’m still waiting to hear on that. Because he’s got other children so I think that he’s gonna have to check with them to see if they want a brother, but I’m hoping they all say yes. [
