Ed Burns Interview - Urban Daddy OG
Sometimes we just don't feel like facing the music. No one knows this better than guy's guy Ed Burns, writer and director of the new film The Groomsmen, a tale of four buddies forced to face the reality of getting married and growing up. Here UD chats with Ed about being a bachelor, getting hitched, and how no rap can be the best rap of all.UD: Groomsmen is all about not wanting to grow up. Do you think New York makes it hard for guys to mature?
EB: Yes. It's the playground for adults. I think that's why here, most guys—and girls, for that matter—hang on to the party a little longer than they should.
UD: Did you?
EB: Uh, yes I had a couple of moments there where I was like, I think I'm a little too old to be hanging out in this club.
UD: Lauren Holly, Heather Graham, Christy Turlington...what's up, is it the Irish charm? The "I don't care" attitude?
EB: That's a tough question to answer. You might have to ask Christy what it is (laughter). Let's just say that kindness goes a long way.
UD: You're married to Christy Turlington. Nice work. Where would you go to find a woman like Christy?
EB: I never had any luck finding a woman like Christy out at clubs or bars. That kind of scene for meeting someone, I never had great luck with that.
UD: So how did you meet her?
EB: I met her at a charity function in the Hamptons. I don't even remember what the cause was...but it was a good cause, I know that. Charity events can be a good place to meet people, because everyone is likeminded, and it's social, and there's alcohol, but it isn't being sold to you as an event you're supposed to be partying at.
