Hello, reddit. I'm Vince Vaughn. AMA!

When are you going to settle down and make an honest man out of Owen Wilson?

Owen's doing just fine...

Do you still have that painting Todd painted in Wedding Crashers?

I'm not sure where that painting is. But it will always be in my heart.

Jennifer Aniston's bare ass in 2-d was amazing, what was it like on the set in real life?

equally amazing.

Have you ever donated sperm?

I’ve practiced, but I’ve never actually donated.

Can you tell us anything about the Dodgeball sequel?

I heard that they're working on a script for it. That's all I know. But if you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball. Never a truer statement ever said.

[deleted]

Who hasn't?

Hey!

I just wanted to say that you and Jon Favreau in Swingers got me through some rough times with past break ups. I still make friends watch it when their relationships go to shit.

You're like a bear man.

Glad to hear it.

What is the most expensive thing you bought when you came into a lot of money that you regret now?

I don't spend my money on a lot of things, although the seven sex slaves I bought have become very expensive.

Would you ever consider reprising your roll as Luke Zoolander?

Sure.

You vs. Will Ferrell who wins in a real game of dodgeball? Also congrats on your 533 kids.

I'm insulted you have to ask.

Hi Vince. Do you have any good inside jokes from the set of The Lost World: Jurassic Park? Working with Jeff Goldblum must have sparked a hundred!

Goldblum is very funny, I enjoyed being around him. When we were flying from LA to Hawaii to film I would take the plastic from the headphones and put it over my face to look like I was hyperventilating to have some fun with the flight attendants. And Jeff found that to be a particularly interesting choice.

Edit: typo!

Hey Vince. I noticed in Wedding Crashers Owen kept calling your character "baba ghanoush." At one point Isla Fisher's character even does it.

Inside joke or part of the script?

Also, Old School 2? Maybe? Please...

Baba Ghanoush was an inside joke. Old School 2 nothing immediately planned although there is a script.

Is it true that you don't own a cell phone? Is your wife okay with this? How do you look up random pieces of information throughout the day?

I was late to the party but now I'm the last one to leave. I do currently own a cell phone.

If you had the chance to motorboat any person in the world who would it be?

At this point it would be my wife.

Very PC answer, you motor boating son of a bitch.

Gotta go home at night.

When did you and Owen become such great bros?

Owen came to a boxing gym that I used to work at. That was the first time that I met him.

Hi Vince, I’m a big fan of the French-Canadian film Starbuck. Had you seen the movie before signing on to do Delivery Man? Are there many differences between the two films?

We have the same writer-director who did the US Version. When DreamWorks came to me to do the movie I was excited to know that it was the same writer/director, and I asked him why are you wanting to do this movie again. He's a very passionate filmmaker, he was very excited to tell the story here. There are some differences between the film but the core of the story is the same.

How much of Couples Retreat was a vacation as opposed to actual work? Filming in Bora Bora must have been tough.

it was a beautiful place to film. No complaints.

I am really looking forward to your new movie. As I have 4 kids and I love them all.

What was it like being with the Anchorman crew again?

DOROTHY MANTOOTH is a SAINT!!!

It was fun! And Dorothy Mantooth is a saint!

please tell me more about how awesome it was to be in The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Yeah. I bet a lot of you nerds forgot about that one.

I had just come off Swingers which was a small movie that Jon and I did and the biggest eye opening was that the food budget for The Lost World was bigger than the entire budget for Swingers.

While being one of the funniest people in the world today, I always thought you were very effective in your darker, villainous roles in the likes of the Psycho remake, Clay Pigeons, South of Heaven West of Hell, and Domestic Disturbance. Did you enjoy playing those parts?

I did enjoy playing those parts. As people you many sides to yourself. So it's fun to get to explore those in a role. And that's what's fun in the Delivery Man film, it allows itself to be funny and touching and dramatic under all one roof.

Any plans to open a Speaker City near Denver?

Denver needs a Speaker City!

Hey Vince, huge fan of your work. Any chance we'll see you in the Anchorman sequel?

I can confirm. Yes.

VINCE!!!

Thanks for doing this AMA!! What were your best memories growing up in Lake Forest?

Lighting off fireworks in cornfields.

Do you hate Steve Bartman, or do you feel bad for him? There is no middle ground...

You cannot make up the rules of the universe. We're moving past that unfortunate incident.

How much of the dialogue in Swingers was improvised?

I've always wondered how much of the "...and she's this little bunny..." speech was off the cuff....

I've enjoyed watching your films.

A lot of the lines were things we said in our daily lives and Jon used them in the screenplay.

How was it working with Chris Pratt?

Chris is great. Genuine guy. Funny. He’s going to be around for a long time...

What's it like to anchor the number TWO rated news station in San Diego?

Gives you something to strive for.

Have you ever considered directing? You're associated with other actors who have also directed (Jon Favreau, Ben Stiller) and can see them acting as great mentors/influence if you were ever interested in the idea.

Would be open to it. I've collaborated on some films which have been fun but no plans right away.

I just realized how tall you are, has that ever given you problems with casting because you might tower over other people?

I've been known to have to take my shoes off occasionally on set.

Hey Vince! Thanks for the AMA. I don't really have a question, but my mom thinks you're super hot and we both love your movies. I was wondering if you could give a shout out to my mom, Amy?

What's up you and mom, Amy!

what is your fantasy role as an actor? if someone gave you unlimited funding and no creative boundaries what kind of movie would you write/direct?

Strength and conditioning coach for the Swedish Women's swim team. And don't crowd my creativity with a time table and budget.

If you weren't an actor, what do you imagine you would you be doing right now instead of this AMA?

Foot masseuse.

I just want to say I loved you in Return to Paradise

I love Return to Paradise as well. One of my favorites...

What's the worst question we could possibly ask you? But don't give us the answer.

Do I sleep naked in the snow?

If you could sum up Delivery Man into 5 words in order to get me to go watch it, what would you say?

You’ll be glad you did.

What's your opinion on internet dating?

Whatever works for you.

I'm early for a great AMA? What to ask you Vince!!??

What do you do on a typical Saturday morning?

Fight crime and hang glide.

Any plans to work again with Jon Favreau? Big fan of Swingers and Made. Be great to see you two again

You never know. Nothing planned as of now.

Do you feel like you've done everything you wanted to do careerwise? If not, what do you still want to do?

Go to the moon.

Any advice for young actors?

Love acting.

Swingers was and still is the fucking best. That is all.

Respect.

Hello vince,

What's your favorite movie of all time? What bands/artists are you currently listening to?

Have you heard of this guy called Mozart?

Hi Vince! You are working on another movie with Ken Scott.

• What did you like in him as a director?
• Can you tell us a little bit about Business Trip?

Clean breath. Well showered. Business Trip is bad ass.

Hi Vince,

I’m a big fan, you’ve brought a lot of happiness in my life with your amazing career so thank you. My personal favorite role you performed was in “Made” – watching you fight with Jon Favreau for an hour and a half was hysterical.

My question is your friend Jon Favreau has said that “Dungeons and Dragons” has influenced his storytelling and imagination - have you ever played D&D with him?

I never played D&D with Jon, but he has a great imagination and always has a fun way in to story.

Hey Vince as a big fan of your films and a diehard hockey fan I’m excited you’re doing this AMA. I’ve always thought it was really cool how much of a Blackhawks fan you are. Two questions

Do you have a favorite current Hawks player?

Do you still wish you could bitch-slap Wayne?

That was a fun scene in Swingers but Wayne truly is the great one.

What scene in any film took the longest to film from cracking up so much and why?

The yoga scene in Couples Retreat.

You're from Chicago, but it doesn't look like you ever studied at one of the improv comedy theaters that so many other famous comedians and actors have come from. I've always wondered why and if wish you had.

Thanks!

I did study with Del Close who started Second City when I was a kid for a few months, and I did perform live in high school in bars that I wasn’t old enough to be in.

Vince,

I was won over by Ron Paul’s straight talk and solid ideas. Who do you think is going to be able to take the mantle for Libertarian leaning folks?

I as well am a fan of Ron Paul.

When you wake up:

Sock-Sock-Shoe-Shoe

or

Sock-Shoe-Sock-Shoe

Sock-Sock-Shoe-Shoe

my best friend Amanda and I have seen all of your films, we'd spend saturdays in high school doing straight "vince vaughn marathons," and frequently say the phrases "lock it up" and "Money" to each other still today is her 25th birthday and I know a shout out from you would mean the absolute world to her!

Happy birthday!

Vince! I'm a big fan of yours! thanks for the AMA.

In hindsight are there any movies where you think to yourself "why in the hell did I agree to be in that movie"

PS: I am beyond jelous of the fact you got to see Jennifer Aniston romp around naked

As an actor, you’re always fitting into a director’s movie. Sometimes you go in expecting the tone to be one thing and it turns out to be something different.

Hi Vince,

Thanks for doing this AMA! I doubt Four Christmases will get a reference from any other Redditors but I love that movie. Why? Your character portrays the brutal nature of what I have to endure with my family and my fiance's family EVERY year. Any tips on how I can better handle family time during the holiday season?

Thanks!

Pick your fights.

Hey Vince, I really liked some of your serious roles, like in Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Into the Wild. Both roles still have some comedy intertwined with your character. Is this something you always bring to your characters, or was it specifically requested by the director?

I really would like to see you in a dramatic role without any comedy whatsoever. Until then, thanks for the laughs!!

It’s nice to get a chance to do different things. That’s what’s great about Delivery Man. It’s very unpredictable and has a wide range of genres under one roof.

Hey Vince,

In September of 2011, I saw you at a house party and you were absolutely shitfaced. I had a zebra on my shirt and you went absolutely crazy when you saw it. You kept asking me 'why do you have a zebra on your shirt? Who would buy that piece of shit?' etc. Do you remember this at all?

EDIT: Here is the picture I snapped of you when you were leaving. http://i.imgur.com/RFIhEXK.jpg

I don't recall. But a zebra does seem like an odd shirt.
