Katherine's new romance dramedy "Life
As We Know It" hits theatres in October and in the
new issue
of Elle magazine her co-star Josh Duhamel talks about the
movie.
Speaking about Duhamel, a former model, Katie told the
magazine that
she lobbied for him to be cast in the film, his first
leading-man role. She explained, that sometimes when an actor
works his way up, as Josh has, from modeling to soaps to TV
to movies, the same looks that helped him land all
those earlier gigs - can also make audiences and casting agents
alike presume certain dramatic limitations.
"He’s like the perfect leading man, and there absolutely are
really beautiful leading men out there who have found their way
to the Oscars. Like George Clooney. It does happen," Katherine
said. "Before he even opens his mouth, you see this guy, and
he’s so good-looking that it puts you back on your heels a
little bit. It’s hard to overlook completely," she added.
In the film, Josh and Katherine play two
single people whose best friends are married to each other.
Their friends set them up on a date that Katherine says,
"Crashes and burns before they even get out of the driveway."
But when the friends are killed in a car accident, Josh and
Katherine learned their one-year-daughter was willed to them to
raise.
"It’s not just a simple ‘Yes, I’ll do it; I’ll be a good
father," Duhamel explains. "There are some real questions:
whether or not he wants to do it, whether he can, whether he’s
even going to stick around."
