On kissing Tom Cruise in Rock of Ages: “It was more of a lick to the face.”

First things first: How was working with the gorilla?
Poor guy. Or I don’t know if I should say poor guy – he got to dress up in a gorilla suit and hold my boobs. Just a regular day at work, I guess.

Well, you look amazing.
Thank you! It was a fun idea to do something a bit mixed up. Who doesn’t love a funny girl who can look sexy at the same time?

You’ve worked with some of the biggest names in comedy, from Ben Stiller to the Farrelly brothers…
Honestly, I feel like I tricked them some­how. When I’m on set, I’ll tell myself, “Keep quiet or they will figure you out!”

Well, you fit right in. Have you always been funny?
I’m more goofy than funny. I never was shy, but as far as telling jokes, I’m the worst. I like physical comedy; it’s where I feel comfortable.

Speaking of physical, how is it doing all the girl-on-girl making out on our fave web series, Childrens Hospital?
It’s routine at this point. There’s no, “Oh, my God, I have to make out with someone!” It’s like when you’re a kid and you’re pretending to make out with your pillow.
