In the upcoming movie "expiration date," Robert Downey Jr. plays the straight man to the zany antics of Zach Galifianakis, and a scene-stealing French Bulldog named Honey (renamed Sonny by Galifianakis, we're told).
If you've seen the trailer, you know that the Downey character trying to get home to his wife, who comes to their baby very soon.Zach's character comes into the mix as an alternative mode of transport, which of course proves to be a cross-country road trip cars, friendships and destroys nerves.
When MTV News caught up with half of this new comic duo at the Los Angeles premiere of the film recently, we asked Downey to compare two co-stars: Galifianakis and the French Bulldog.
"Well, actually, Sonny is supposed to be a boy [and] largely is played by a female dog," "Iron Man" Star explained.
"Honey is her real name," the Downey wife Susan chimed in.
"Legal. honey is a bitch. Sonny is supposed this meat stick in the film, so they pulled in a male dog, and that's how I think of Zach: he is kind of a hermaphrodite dog," Downey said with a smile.
Somehow, we think that would take that assessment Galifianakis as a compliment. But where would he and the "Hangover" stars are among the major comic duos in film history?
"I know a lot more in a few hours, but I'd say kind of Ashford and Simpson now," Downey said. "We'll see if we are to hope and Crosby. "
Check out everything that we have on "due date."
