December 22nd, 2008 - 2:16 pm ICT by ANIWashington, Dec 22 (ANI): Hollywood funnyman Jim Carrey has called his Yes Man co-star Rhys Darby as an “absolutely brilliant” colleague to work with.
Darby plays the role of a friendly boss, who is desperate to befriend Carrey’’s uptight protagonist, in the Peyton Reed film, an adaptation of Danny Wallace’’s bestselling book.
Carrey paid tribute to the New Zealand actor at a London press conference.
“He’’s got that Peter Sellers madness inside of him,” Contactmusic quoted Carrey as saying.
“It worked out so perfectly, because my character is broken, he doesn”t want to be involved with anybody and Norman, Rhys” character, is so full of love and so wants to be my friend that it becomes incredibly painful for my character.
“The worst thing in the world when you want to be left alone is to have somebody coming at you with open-faced love and Rhys was just genius at it,” he added. (ANI)
