Q&A WITH ALBERT BROOKS
BROOKS co-stars with Michael Douglas in The In-Laws, which opens Friday.

Had you ever done a movie with Michael Douglas before?
I only met him once before. But I'm friends with Rob Reiner, and he said, You'll love the guy. And he's right. I am deeply in love with Michael.

You had to do some pretty physical stunts for this movie. Was that a stretch for you?
Well, I do a treadmill every day, but if you're hanging from wires, those aren't muscles you would ever normally exercise. Muscles I had forgotten about since I was 25 started to hurt.

Did your brother [comedy stuntman Super Dave Osborne] give you any tips?
No [laughs uncomfortably]. Thank God that didn't happen. I would have really been in trouble.

You also star in Finding Nemo, which is coming out in two weeks.
Can you believe it? It's an Albert Brooks summer!

You own this summer!
I'm stunned. I have to go see Terminator 3, I might be in that.
— Lev Grossman
