Vince Vaughn Is Tall And Coming Down Your Chimney

Doesn't he look like someone just told him they smashed up his BMW in this picture? Like the girl in front is like "he's gonna go ape, can I run fast enough before he grabs me by the hair?!?". A split second facial expression while a snapshot is being taken can be a world of storybook magic! Vince Vaughn is playing Santa Claus' brother (*rolls eyes*) in his newest flick, "Fred Claus". He addressed what coming down a chimney is like and gave a shout-out to stuntmen everywhere. I see a gold statuette in the future!

What was it like going down the chimney for the movie?

Here is the good news. Sometimes I would come down the chimney, and that was fine, because I would just kind of come down the chimney. [But] when you see people falling and doing weird stuff? That is a stunt guy named Joe Bucaro, out of Chicago. I'm an actor, and it's not fashionable to mention stunt guys. A lot of actors are like, 'Yeah, I do my stunts.' I don't do any of my stuff. I don't like to do my stunts. I like to have a stunt guy do my stuff. So, Joe will go and fall on his head and then we'll do some kind of high five thing or something, and then I will lie on the ground and get up.


Seriously, I like Vince Vaughn so much more now for that answer. He's right. Who the hell wants to throw themselves down a chimney? Who wants to flip a car? I've flipped two and it wasn't for movie stunts. It ain't fun! These people are rich, why endanger your life when you have so much money to spend still?
