Well, I had to. I did get I did get the memo. They said you cannot dress in kind of comfortable clothes. Oliver has the market cornered on that. Let's put you in a suit, let's stuff you up and let's sit you down for the kids. How are you kids? This is nice to be here. All these kids.

Young Hollywood

And we are here not for the kids. Um for the internship.

That's right. But the internship's for the kids as well. For the kids as well. We're looking at some sort of mental Hunger Games against a bunch of genius kids for just like a handful of jobs. Come in here. You got to come in close here. You're reunited with Owen Wilson in it. And you're both interns, you lie your way in basically.

Young Hollywood

But you're so old though. I thought you were important. Have you ever bent the rules to get somewhere in real life?

Vince Vaughn's Internship Tips

Boy, as an actor I think when you're younger, if they ask you something, you always would say absolutely. Can you ride a horse? Are you kidding me? I grew up riding. And then you show up and you don't know what the hell you're doing but you just want to get the part. So you'll say yes to anything that is the question. The resume's that long. 10 years of ballet.
