Actor Jim Carrey says his I Love You
Phillip Morris co-star, Ewan McGregor is a “great kisser.”
Carrey
stars opposite McGregor in the upcoming gay-themed film slated for
release in the United States and Canada on Friday.
In
an interview with Parade, the 48-year-old Carrey said
kissing McGregor was “a dream come true.”
“A dream come true,” Carrey said.
“I mean, look at the guy. I have to say, he is a great kisser. As
Ewan said, 'When you're kissing another guy it can get a little
prickly.' Actually, you had to put out of your mind your own sexual
preference and just try to understand that you were loving another
person who just happens to be a guy. It wasn't about male or female,
love is love.”
In
an earlier appearance on CBS' the Late Show with David Letterman,
Carrey ribbed Letterman when he expressed concern for Carrey's
professional reputation.
“Boy, we haven't grown at all, have
we?” Carrey responds to Letterman's question, “Do you worry about
your image as a heterosexual leading man playing a homosexual?”
In the film, Carrey plays Steven
Russell, a gay man who falls in love with his cellmate Phillip
Morris, played by McGregor.
