And the truth is that I did not get serious until The Hangover, when he was already 36 years old. So I went through all of that before fame affected my daily existence. All of that happened to me before.”

I was able to film and meet Sandra and work with her. And I was sober, and I realized that it was me. He told me that: ‘It’s me and I don’t have to force myself to be someone else, and even so these people want to work with me. What the hell is going on?’ I was rediscovering myself and it was wonderful.”
