Kevin Connolly on the New Entourage Movie and Friends With Better Lives
Connolly's character on the sitcom is married to Abby, played by Majandra Delfino, the real-life wife of About a Boy's David Walton.
Glamour: Speaking of relationships, what's the one thing you'll never understand about them?
Kevin: How difficult they can be. [Laughs] How much work they take! You have to want to be in [one].
Glamour: What do you know for sure about love and relationships?
Kevin: That the real ones don't come around very often. When they do, you gotta make a serious run at it.
Glamour: I love your honesty on that. What's one thing you'll never understand about the opposite sex?
Kevin: Needing to plan everything so far ahead of time. [My girlfriend] will talk about Easter [three months ahead of time], so it amazes me how far she wants to plan ahead. I was [going out of town] to shoot the Entourage movie and coming back on a Saturday. And she's like, "Do you want to go to the movies on Sunday? What do you want to see?" and I'm like, "Um, do I have to decide now? [Laughs]" She already has it on her iPhone! I'm like, "Let's just wing it, and we'll figure it out when I get back in town Saturday. I'm sure the crowds have died down for Catching Fire by now." But she said she likes planning, so I'm like, "OK, if you like planning, I'm fine with it." She is open to spontaneity, but planning makes her happy she says.
Kevin Connolly shares a scene with Brooklyn Decker, who also stars on the CBS sitcom.
Glamour: That's hilarious. So what has your best friend taught you in life?
Kevin: That at the end of the day, it somehow manages to always be OK. No matter how bad things might seem at a time, it manages to be OK. I have some lifelong friends I grew up with.
Glamour: I have to close out with an Entourage question: The show filmed at every hot spot in Los Angeles, so what restaurant, club, or bar do you never want to visit again?
Kevin: Probably Urth Caffe! It's just weird for me to go there because I feel like I'm on walking onto a set or a soundstage. I just drive by and I get weird feelings in my stomach because I identify it with work. I always think, Wow, what a happy business owner! That place is packed! Even at night! Although maybe I should go at night. Maybe it will seem different to me then. [Laughs]
