Josh Duhamel Talks the Dos and Don'ts of Friendship and How He Always Knew Fergie Was The One

Glamour: We'll talk as you eat! This is a very honest film about friendship, love, and marriage. You're fighting for your spiritual lives as well as your physical lives.

Josh Duhamel: It's this incredible story about two guys who were great friends who drifted over the years because life happens. You can't help but to drift a little bit because you get married, you have kids, you move away, you make other friends. These two guys end up in a horrible situation that causes them to appreciate the blessings they have.

Glamour: There's a line in the film when your character is talking about problems with his wife and says, "I hate to admit it, but pregnancy is bad for the body." Then Dan's character says, "You realize you made her that way?" Has Fergie seen the movie? Did she say, "Hon, if you ever say that, sleep on the couch!"

Josh: Yes, Fergie has seen the movie, and she doesn't love that part. It's the one thing that I didn't love [in the script]. He's being really brutally honest with this guy, and even if you think that, you just don't say that. It's difficult to watch. I'm like, "F--k, I don't like me at all!" Then you see his wife, and she's gorgeous. Everything my character said before makes him look like even more of an asshole.

Glamour: For the most part, viewers understand why your character is depressed after four years of marriage. In real life, you've been married four and a half years and dated Fergie five years before that. How did you find ways to relate to the character?

Josh: I've never been through a situation where I was unhappily married or didn't know if I made the right decision. I always knew that this was my girl forever, so that part of it was a stretch. But I also know a lot of friends that are going through stuff like this, where that spark is lost, and they stay together because of the kid. So that I guess I could understand, but it's about the friendship thing where you start out with these ideals, these dreams, and then the disappointments of life happen. You look back at where you thought you were going to be, and you rarely have accomplished what you want. And then it's about not looking at the things you haven't accomplished, but what you have. I think that's what this situation did to these guys, especially my character.
