“Willie’s seen the movie, and I’ve heard he liked it,” Rudd says. Ned’s companion is a golden retriever he names Willie Nelson, in homage to another laid-back dude who “marches through life on his own really cool lower frequency.” “This was very important to me and to the director when we first started, that it be very clear the principle this character lives his life by is to see the best in people. “I don’t think is an idiot at all,” Rudd tells The Post. He quickly messes up life for everyone in the family, including his other sisters (Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Banks). Rudd stars as a perennially cheery screw-up who, after a brief stint in prison for selling weed to a uniformed cop (dumb), goes to live with his sister (Emily Mortimer) and her husband (Steve Coogan). He once deejayed bar mitzvahs as a character named “Donnie Dweeb,” performing spastic twitchings he called “The Dork Dance.” He starred in the 1995 stinker “Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers.” And he continues to root for the middling Kansas City Chiefs, despite the team’s 41-year Super Bowl drought.īut first, the matter of “Our Idiot Brother,” in theaters Aug.
Oh, sure, he’s done stupid things occasionally. Last summer he was a “Schmuck” this summer he’s an “Idiot.” But Paul Rudd is no dummy.
