Paul Bettany leads a “double life.”

The actor says that even though he is known for appearing in serious movies such as Creation, he loves getting the chance to indulge in his childish side and is relishing doing his own stunts for Priest.

“There’s a sort of double life that I have as far as acting. I love making films like Creation about Charles Darwin, but I would be lying if I… The truth is when I was a kid my mom gave me a set of holsters, two holsters and guns and a cowboy hat. I ran around shooting things. And I suddenly thought, ‘Well, it’d be really nice approaching 40 to have a ball doing that,’” he said. “It feels even better because I have a bunch of friends who can put me on a wire and throw me up into the air.”

No Big Laughs for License To Wed

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Family, Comedy, Casting, New Releases

Sometimes, Robin William’s sort of hyperactive, jittery comedy is funny and entertaining to watch. He’s always one of the highlights of HBO’s Comic Relief, a perfect venue for the comedian that always seems right on the verge of sanity. But these same sort of freaky antics do little to lift License To Wed from its chick-flick status, and some critics say that Williams fails to deliver in the role of a comedic priest. Gee, and here I thought a role as a man of the cloth would be perfect for Williams – what could be more Godlike than talking in funny voices and imitating slightly epileptic fits?

Williams plays nutty parish priest Reverend Frank, apparently Catholic-like as the head of St. Augustine’s. In the film, Reverend Frank turns the Ten Commandments into a game show (seriously, why didn’t Moses think of that?) and uses wiretapping to find out if couples are having premarital sex. The Reverend’s three-week Marriage Preparation Course is the particular delight of the Williams character, which he claims offers an 100% success rate for all soon-to-be-wed couples. Enter Sadie Jones, played by Mandy Moore and her finance Ben Murphy (played by John Krasinski).
