Evan Rachel Wood discusses Whatever Works

Evan Rachel Wood sat down with MoviesOnline.ca to discuss her role in Darren Aronofsky’s new film, The Wrestler. She also talked about her role in Whatever Works and her experience doing comedy with Woody Allen and Larry. The interview is lengthy but well worth the read. When asked how much like his Curb Your Enthusiasm character Larry is, Evan Rachel Wood had this to say:

He is that character. That is him. It’s so funny. I was so excited one time we went out for lunch and something happened with the waiter and she started doing the dirt thing and even wrote it down and said, “This would be good for the show.” And it’s like that thing you have where you’re hanging out with your favorite comedian. You’re like maybe they’ll write about this. He actually did. I don’t know if it’s actually going to end up on the show or not but it’s really funny.

She also confirms that Larry will be playing the “Woody” character that anyone familiar with Allen’s work will recognise, suggesting “he’s probably the only other person that could do that.”
