Paul Rudd had fun working with Judd Apatow's wife Leslie Mann on "Knocked Up." The seem to have a great dynamic. Here's part of Craveonline's interview with both of them. They spoke about the sometimes improvised fight scenes:
Leslie Mann: I just think it was really fun. It was fun to kinda heighten, torque it a little bit and make it even crazier. Like take a normal fight that you have in your marriage and then just make it really big for fun.Paul Rudd: And then just to know what to say to provoke somebody is really fun to do. It's fun to do in life, but you can't really do it in life without fearing the repercussions, but that was kind of why we were playing parts to do that. The first day, I think the first scene that you and I filmed together was we were in the bathroom together and just kind of talking about our lives, just about sex. "Do you want to have sex? We probably should." It was really hard not to laugh because I think it was the first thing. I asked Leslie if she wanted to have sex and you just went, "Ugh." It's always hard not to laugh when you're doing these scenes when somebody says something really funny.
It sounds like fun was had by all on the "Knocked Up" set.
