"It was the month after the accident happened with my brother Paul Walker and it was the first time I had worked since. Although it was challenging, just to get back to work was therapeutic — especially as Groot. There was an innocence about the character that was just refreshing — and it may have been more challenging under other circumstances, but at that time, it was very therapeutic."

Bryan Cranston: Godzilla Couldn’t Make Meth
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Warner Bros, Action, Adventure, Remakes, Science Fiction, Celeb News, New Releases,
Bryan Cranston thinks that Godzilla would be "horrible" at making crystal meth.
The Breaking Bad actor, who sold the drug as Walter "Heisenberg" White in the series, joked about the monster not being able to make it at the premiere of his new movie at the Odeon in London's Leicester Square last night. "I think Godzilla would be horrible at making crystal meth. You've got to be very refined to be able to make it. He's a monster, you know, they have a very destructive nature," he said.
The 58-year-old actor, who stars alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen in the film directed by Gareth Edwards, also claims his character, nuclear scientist Joe Brody, is more like him than Walter White or Hal, who he played in Malcolm In The Middle: "They're all pretty different. I'm not like hal and I'm nothing like Walter White. Maybe this guy in this movie is most like me."

"I think it probably made a really interesting aspect of the film, to have that connection and to have Rayon have one of his heroes be Marc Bolan. That’s great. Marc Bolan was an awesome person. But, for me, I made it very clear early on that I saw Rayon as a man who wanted to live his life as a woman, not someone who enjoyed putting on women’s clothing. If they wanted that kind of performance - or anything glam, or anything drag queen-y - I wasn’t the person for the part."
- Jared Leto speaks freely about how he didn't want to portray Rayon in Dallas Buyers Club, a role which one him an Oscar nomination this year.

Sylvester Stallone: Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis Have Big Egos
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Celebrity Gossip,
Sylvester Stallone can't spend too much time with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis because of they all have big egos.
The actor says when he and his fellow action movie veterans meet up, they quickly realize their hectic schedules aren't the sole reason why their reunions are so rare:
"People think Arnie and Bruce and me hang out all the time but because of our work projects we may not talk for a year. Then, all of a sudden, we get together and realize there is a reason we don't get together; too many egos in the room! So we say, 'See you in a year, have to go regroup.'"
Although the blockbuster trio might not train together as much as people may expect, Sylvester admitted he has had to teach himself how to "work out economically" to get in the best shape for his film roles. "Over the past 30 years I've learned how to work out economically. I would use the home gym and I would focus on what I call the movie body parts; instead of doing the whole body I would focus on what the cameras needed. No one cares what your ankles look like, right?" he admitted.
