Eric Dane: Hot Dog in 'Marley & Me'

In 'Marley & Me,' "Grey's Anatomy" hunk Eric Dane stars opposite Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston as a friend who recommends that they get a puppy before they dive into parenthood. He also happens to be that guy who uses pooches and kids as bait to pick up the ladies! So, has "McSteamy" ever used that trick in real life?

 

"Never once," he tells our own Victoria Recano, but is quick to add, "I have that friend."

Eric, who is married to actress Rebecca Gayheart, also says that he's unlike his big-screen alter ego in that he's ready to have a family himself.

"I never had that fear of 'I have to burn that black book'; [the] stereotypical 'man down, another one's getting married'-type thing," he explains. "I was always just like, 'This is what we do, this is the next chapter.' And kids, the same way; I want to have a big family and I'm ready for it, you know? And in the same breath, not ready, because I don't think anybody is. But I'm willing to learn."

Watch the video to catch Eric talk about the movie and his co-stars. Plus, he takes on a Speed Round: Boxers or briefs? Walk on the beach or hike in the mountains? Candlelight dinner or a picnic in the park?

'Marley & Me' opens in theaters Christmas Day.
