“Bounty Hunter” Hunk and ‘Friend’ Hit Manhattan for the Premiere
A grungy ex-cop, Milo Boyd (played by Gerard Butler) works as a bounty hunter, seizing outlaws and returning them to prison. His next assignment brings him great joy, as he is to hunt down his chic investigative reporter ex-wife Nicole (Jennifer Aniston), who just jumped bail to chase a hot story and is now a wanted woman. “The Bounty Hunter” journey winds from Manhattan to New Jersey and, of course, it includes a few humorous battles occur along the way.
When asked on the red carpet in New York City what makes Jen Aniston so sexy, hunky Butler replied, “She’s just so vivacious! She’s so alive!” He also remarked that she’s got “the best legs in Hollywood.” No wonder she was glowing the whole evening, donning a nude, draped Donna Karan number (sans the bra!).
Other members of the cast, Adam Rose, who plays Jen’s inside tipster, and Dorian Missick, who portrays Detective Bobby Singer, strolled by to chat about the film and the fiery chemistry between the leading costars.
Q: Adam, what’s your character Jimmy’s story?
Adam: Jimmy is a snitch and a bartender, and he sells some information to Jen Aniston’s character and I get into some hot water over it.
Q: Did you go through any bar tending training or classes before you filmed this?
A: No classes, but the first day on set I was behind the bar serving drinks to extras, and I had to learn pretty quickly. I still can’t make a drink to save my life. But I can pour a beer fantastically, though!
Q: Your scenes were mostly with Jen – what was it like working with her?
A: It was amazing! She’s a sweetheart and was very nice to me. She was very easy-going and I didn’t feel like I was tip-toeing around her.
Q: Did she give you any good acting advice?
A: Not, I think mainly it was a learning experience just being on set with her. She’s very professional, she knows what she’s doing and she jumps right into it – she’s been doing it forever; she’s a pro.
Q: Your next film is with Jennifer Lopez and is called “The Backup Plan,” right?
A: Yes, it will be out next month. I play Louie, the best friend and coworker of Alex (the male lead) and we sell cheese. I’m on the sidelines poking in on his romance – it’s going to be a fun romantic comedy.
Q: Dorian, can you tell CelebrityEverything.com about your character Bobby?
D: Bobby is a detective, Gerard’s former partner and best friend. I introduced him and Jen when they got married and then there’s a little twist to him about who he really is.
Q: So whose side is he on?
D: He’s on his own side. He runs his own team.
Q: What was it like working with Jen and Gerard?
D: They’re great people, very professional and very nice people.
Q: How was their chemistry?
D: Their chemistry was incredible. They were friends prior to this, so it was an easy transition. They get along so well, it made it easy for me to go to work everyday.
Q: Can you confirm the rumors that they are a couple?
D: I don’t know anything about that, but they look great on screen though.
Q” And what do you have coming up?
D: I’m starting a pilot for NBC called, “The Cape,” starring myself and David Lyons, and I have a film, “Mooz-lum” starring myself Danny Glover and Evan Ross.
Q: Who do you play in “The Cape”?
D:I play a villain – interestingly, a dirty cop. I like it – anybody can play the good guy but the bad guy – that’s the fun part.
Q: So are you’re hoping for Jay Leno’s 10pm slot?
D:Yeah, that’s my game plan. I saw Jay a couple of days ago and I said, “Jay I’m coming to get you, man.” He just kept walking, and looked at me like I was crazy. I think he thought I was going to steal his wallet.
Q: Are you in Jay’s camp or Conan O’Brien’s camp?
D: Conan all day. Jay’s a nice guy but nah! That situation was messed up, Dogg!
