B.L. So, the secret is out Mark. I hear you were looking for some Gravol in the glove box of the Mini.
M.W. Oh God, it was bad. You know you can't be in the passenger seat with a wild woman driving; it's just not smart. Especially not right after lunch.

B.L. Who was the wild woman, Charlize Theron or your stunt driver?
M.W. Charlize Theron. It's like a bucking bronco being in the passenger seat of one of those things and I got a lot of jokes from (George) Clooney when I threw up during The Perfect Storm, but this time around I didn't even care. I told them, "You can tell all the jokes you want, I'm going home to sleep."

B.L. It's a running theme now for all your movies.
M.W. Yes, but hey, you see what I give? One hundred and ten percent! I don't see any of my co-stars going that extra mile! I mean come on.

B.L. What were some of the tougher parts about making The Italian Job?
M.W. The only thing that was tough for me was keeping a straight face. Between Seth Green and Mos Def and Jason Statham I was practically peeing in my pants, which would have been far more embarrassing than throwing up. There were no computer-generated effects in this movie; it took a lot to pull off these stunts. I loved the fact that there was no CGI for this movie really.

B.L. Yes, there are so many amazing stunts in this film, which I might add were a lot of fun to watch.
M.W. Yeah, it was wild. I don't know how Gary (Gray, the director) pulled it together and with such great ease. It looked effortless. He was there with us having fun, he'd run over to tell people what he needed and then he'd come back to us. It was just like a big funfest, it was wild. And the movie turns out to be one of the best movies I've ever been in. It just doesn't make sense. I thought you were supposed to suffer for your art.

B.L. You play Charlie Crocker, a pretty slick dude. What did you like about him?
M.W. Charlie Crocker, my buddy. I like him a lot. It's great to get to play a guy who's likeable, who is charismatic, who's a thief - so that way I have some personal thing to draw on. He's a smart guy. There is that threat of physical violence if need be but that's the last resort. I was really attracted to the role and also the cast. Gary said "These are the people that I want to get" and I said "If you get those people with this kind of story and it stays a character-driven piece" — which it did — "then sign me up, I'm in."

B.L. Assuming you don't have it all already... but if you had 27million bucks what would you blow it on?
M.W. I'd probably buy a Gulfstream, truckin' through the airports and stuff.

B.L. At least you can barf in private!
M.W. Yeah, I don't barf on planes. Planes are easy, unless it was a propeller plane then I would throw up in second. Have you been in turbulence in a propeller plane? Forget it. Yuck, it's horrible.

B.L. So, what's up next?
M.W. I'm doing a little comedy with director David O.Russell.

B.L. Who you worked with before on Three Kings.
M.W. Yup, he's put together a nice little ensemble for this one too. Right now the working title is called I Love Huckabee's and I get to work with Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin, Catherine Deneuve, Jude Law, Naomi Watts, Jason Schwartzman and the list goes on.

B.L. What's it about, because Russell is a bit out there as far as directors are concerned.
M.W. It's about a married couple who are detectives. It's in the same vein as Flirting With Disaster but it's good. It's really good and I'm excited about it. He actually wrote a part for me so it's going to be very cool.
