Sex, violence and celery stalks up your keister: Will Forte goes deep on his new 'MacGruber' series, why the movie cost his mom some friends and the character's biggest fan (hint: he directed 'Tenet')
I’ll admit, I’ve read too much into MacGruber over the years. I used to get hung up on the idea that maybe he was so cocky because he faked his own death in 1999 and therefore skipped out on dealing with the trauma of being in the government during 9/11.fan.
When the movie came out in 2010, it seemed like this fun, dumb action movie spoof. But in an interview at the time, you said, “That’s America. MacGruber is you and MacGruber is me.” Which made the film begin to look to me like a gag about America’s blundering swagger during the Bush years. Where does an overconfident egomaniac like him fit into today’s conversations?
It was a hybrid, you know! An early Honda Civic hybrid. And I was like, I’m just going to ride this thing until it breaks down. There you go! You just named one yourself. That seems plausible. We were in Albuquerque, so there are a lot of farms in that area.The whole crew has come back together for the TV series: Kristen Wiig, Ryan Philippe, Jorma Taccone, John Solomon. It’s kind of action movie-esque — you’re all doing one more heist that involves getting paid to make MacGruber jokes. Walk us through how you create a gag.
