Steve Carell on getting into shape:
“I worked out and made my body a physical specimen to be admired.”
Peter Segal on the iconic props used in the film:
“Well, we had to put the shoe phone in and that was tricky because how do you make something like that that's so iconic and was really the ancestor of today's cell phone relevant in a movie like this. The cone of silence we had to put in and ironically, one of our visual effects supervisors said that his uncle is friends with, and I can't say his name, but someone who is very high up in the CIA. They said that the cone of silence actually existed and they used it in the American embassy in Moscow.”
