JOE meets Kevin Hart and Josh Gad, the very funny stars of The Wedding Ringer

We chat about funny feckers, displays of public nudity and fat Hollywood pay cheques...

JOE

It’s time to get your fun on with the first bromantic film of 2015…

Directed by Jeremy Garelick and released by the fine people at Sony Pictures, The Wedding Ringer tells the tale of dorky Doug Harris (Josh Gad) who, two weeks before his wedding to the gorgeous Gretchen (Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting), realises he’s got absolutely no best friends. None.

To right this terrible wrong, he recruits the smooth-talking, Best-Man-For-Hire Jimmy Callahan to find him the perfect posse of pals before the big day.

At least JOE’s never been in that situation because we’ve got so, so, so many friends, right guys? Guys? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

*JOE looks around for friends, but they haven’t been seen since 1997*

Maybe not then.

The stars of the funtime film, Kevin Hart and Josh Gad, were in Dublin recently to attend the Irish Premiere of The Wedding Ringer, so we sent the friendless Eoghan Doherty along to talk to the comedy cohorts about being naked in public, earning whopping amounts of Hollywood cash and, as ever, how they would fare when pitted against giant ducks and tiny horses.

Kevin Hart is, in the wise words of Zoolander’s Mugatu, so hot right now, while Josh Gad is probably best known to audiences as the immensely-popular, singing snowman Olaf from the fantastic Frozen.

Enjoy…
