Why Simon Pegg can't believe his luck with the ladies
COMEDIAN Simon Pegg – who appears alongside Megan Fox, Gillian Anderson and Kirsten Dunst in How To Make Friends And Alienate People – admits he couldn’t believe his luck when he realised whom he would be starring with.
Speaking at the premiere of the film, which documents British journalist Toby Young’s unsuccessful attempt at working for Vanity Fair magazine in New York, the 38-year-old said: “I’ve always had a crush on Gillian and where else in the world would I get to be sandwiched between her and Kirsten Dunst?
“I had two of the sexiest women in the world all to myself which was great!”
And despite being hand-picked to play the part of Young, the Hot Fuzz star insisted that the two men actually have nothing in common.
“It was a right debacle to play such a buffoon. Personally I do care what people think – a bit more so than Toby. Toby doesn’t really care what people think about him but I’m probably a lot more paranoid than he is.”
A heavily pregnant Gillian, expecting her third child, the second with British film director Mark Griffiths, was keeping mum about the baby’s name. She said: “I don’t want to reveal anything – it’s quite a normal name though, nothing crazy!”
The 40-year-old X Files actress, seen here with Simon, revealed that despite being “ready to drop” she could still get in a glamourous Alice Temperley dress and Jimmy Choo shoes, “although of course the shoes are platforms!”
