Will Ferrell's Nose Job
June 8, 2005
Nicole Kidman may have that perfect twitch as
Samantha Stephens in the big-screen version of
"Bewitched," but Nicole's hilarious
co-star Will Ferrell said it was actually his
nose that won him the role of Darrin Stephens.
"I've been told I have the Elizabeth Montgomery
nose," Ferrell joked.
But did he manage to get the nose twitch down?
"I practiced," Will laughed. "I
signed up with a guy, the nose twitch guy. We
worked on it for hours and hours. He was like,
'Again, again!'"
The new “Bewitched” has Will playing
a vain, washed-up actor trying to salvage his
career by taking the role of Darrin Stephens in
a modern remake of the original classic ‘60s
sitcom.
So could Ferrell relate to his character’s
diva-like personality? Apparently so: “That’s
me. To a tee. I have to have fresh squeezed orange
juice every thirty minutes. I don't even drink
it. I just pour it out of the glass, on the ground
and have my assistant lick it up!"
Okay, so Will was joking about that one. But he
did admit that confidence was an issue when he
met his stunning co-star for the first time. "I
made a point to be as goofy as possible around
her, just to make her laugh," Ferrell told
us of Nicole. "I figured people always put
her on such a pedestal, and I'm like, 'Hey Nicole,
what's up? Guess what? I've got gas!'"
And there are sure to be a lot more laughs when
"Bewitched" magically appears in theaters
June 24th.
