Tank Turner has a special gift--seducing and offending women. That’s what makes him the best rebound specialist around. Using his powers for good not evil, he reunites couples by dating the girls and sending them running back to their ex boyfriends.
Comedian Dane Cook stars as Tank in the new movie My Best Friend's Girl alongside Jason Biggs and Kate Hudson. The plot thickens when Tank’s best friend Dustin (Biggs) hires him to date his lady love Alexis (Hudson) only to find out later the two really hit it off.
Bringing the same chemistry and comedy you see on the big screen, the trio of actors joined us in Los Angeles to chat about their new movie in theaters Sept. 19.
Hollywood.com: Dane, do you anticipate any copycat Tanks starting up after the movie comes out?
Dane Cook: I’m actually teaching a class at The Learning Annex on how to be more like Tank Turner. I think it’s great that you can play a character that has a bit of a villainess tone to him…[and] he uses his dirty deeds…for good at the end.
HW: Do you think Tank’s methods would work in real life?
Dane Cook: Oh certainly. There are definitely guys that take the aggressive approach, no filter, use lewd and lascivious behavior and get the girl in the end, because nobody wants to feel rejected. They tend to say, “What I’m doing wrong and how can I….”
Kate Hudson: You guys have no idea of what you’re talking about.
Dane Cook: That is also true…You can just ask her, we’re fucking idiots [laughs].
