Rob Riggle

RJ here hanging out at the Young Hollywood Studio with Rob Riggle.

I know. It's awesome. Now, Ashton Kutcher, Tom Hanks, Will Ferrell. You've been working with all these guys recently but just a couple years ago you were in the Marines. Like, how the heck does that work out?

Uh, I don't know. Uh, luck I would think. Um, a little hard work. Uh you know I'll give myself that. You know the Marines is, I guess, a great, a great place to do a lot of things. Uh including somewhat of a theater camp.

Did you get punked at all by Ashton when you guys were doing during Killers?

No, I, I didn't get punked but I was always on guard that I was about to be punked.

Now any of your military training come to effect there because someone on our team talked to one of the stunt coordinators on your film. Oh. Rob did this stuff like he was one of the ones that like really did his own stunts and

Well, that's very nice.

They were very impressed.

I, I was a mix. There were there were stunt guys in there believe me. Uh I didn't do it all.

You did a lot of them though.

But I I got to do a lot. I got to do a lot of stuff. I got to do a lot of driving. Um and I got to do a lot of the fighting. But Ashton Ashton and I actually worked very hard on the choreography of the fight moves because, you know, he wanted it to look real. He wanted it to be violent. Just crushed it. We got after it. Uh and and I'm I'm lucky. I'm a big guy and he's a big guy so we could kind of handle being throwing around and we were getting after it. Uh there's no doubt about it. And uh but it was a fun. It was it's it's still a fun ride, the whole movie.

And the film, you know, there a lot of people are keeping secrets of the film. Was there ever a secret that that you were supposed to keep and you just let it slip out and you weren't able to keep it in real life?

No.

Wow.

I'm absolutely disciplined. I've never made a single mistake when it comes to that.

No, it's your training, man. You know, you're very, very serious with that.

Yes. Well, I did tell someone one time I, I took a dump in my pants.

And what happened? Oh no.

I just did it again.

Oh boy. That's a secret you're supposed to keep. That's that one. That's actually my private one. That was the only secret I've ever had.

Cuz you were so excited to be here, right? So.

Unbelievable. Wow. Good you, my friend. You you recently made the transition from New York to LA.

Yes.

We were just talking about it earlier. You've been here less than a year.

Yes.

How's LA treating you? You liking it? You missing the East Coast?

Uh you know, it's apples and oranges. People ask about New York and LA. Apples and oranges. I love LA. I really love it. I love the weather. Um I love the weather.

Is that all you love it?

I really, I'm telling you. It hurts me to say it. The weather is just amazing.

But you've been here less than a year. Give it a little bit of time.

Exactly. I'll give it more time. I get a lot of this in LA. When I'm driving.

That seems like a New York thing to me though. What I'm driving.

No. In LA it's when you're driving in New York, you just see someone you say hi and do that.

Well, you can do that too. That's very fair. Actually, in New York, if you say, "Excuse me, sir, what time is it?" How about that?

It's 1:00. You douche.

All right. Last thing I want to do. Something I was fascinated to find. There are kind of

That just scared the hell out of me.
