John Krasinski, Entertainment Weekly Interview

Thanks to all of you of you who let me know about the John Krasinski interview in this week’s Entertainment Weekly.  I came across this yestersday but couldn’t post it as I was traveling. 

Make sure you head over to Entertainment Weekly to read the article.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So, I hear you’ve been cast in a comedy called License to Wed, opposite Mandy Moore.
JOHN KRASINSKI What?! Oh my God, thank you so much for letting me know! [Laughs] No, just kidding. I’m really excited about it.

Tell us a little about the movie.
I play Ben, who is about to get married to [Mandy’s character], and before we get married — because her parents are sort of more the traditional Christian parents — they want us to meet the priest and basically take wedding classes. And we just go thinking it’s no big deal and we meet with the priest — who is Robin Williams — and, wedding school? Not as easy as we thought.

What exactly does one learn in wedding school, anyway?
I actually grew up Catholic, so I know all about it — they try to get you to understand that marriage isn’t just this little thing you can offer someone as a gift. It’s a really important thing to learn how sometimes it’s not that easy to spend all that time with someone. They basically just make you aware of all the sacrifices you have to make before you do it.
