Zach Galifianakis

Why did a third Hangover movie make sense? Why was it a good idea?
Because Ed [Helms] wanted to buy an island.

Really?
No, it didn’t make sense, to be honest, at first. I was probably a little hesitant going in, but it seems like it’s wrapping things up nicely, whereas the second one didn’t seem like it was wrapping things up.

How is this one different to the others?
I think the word epic is right. The scope of this one seems… there’s just a lot of things moving.

There seems to be more action in this one. Are you an action star now?
I caught myself in the mirror this morning, and no, I don’t feel like an action hero. I felt like we were doing stuff that action heroes do, but we weren’t doing it that well.

Alan says a lot of inappropriate things in his life. What is the weirdest thing you’ve said to a woman in real life?
I was slapped in the face once by an Iranian princess. In college. That was fun. I said something to her that I won’t repeat, but I am a gentleman.

Are you like Alan at all?
I think it’s fun to play Alan because he doesn’t have to placate the social norms. I don’t know if there are that many similarities between us… God, I hope not. But maybe there are that I just don’t even know – maybe I am as dumb as Alan.

The film begins with a funeral, where you not only sing but also have a beautiful voice. Can you sing?
Yes. That’s my real voice. No, it’s not. I have the worst voice in the world. It’s embarrassing.
