Kristin
Wiig has become one of the most popular comedic actresses, from SNL, to
Bridesmaids, to Despicable ME 2 to the upcoming Anchorman 2. In an recent
interview to collider, Wiig spoke about playing Lucy in Despicable Me 2, the Minions
and Anchorman 2.
“Question: What was the most attractive
thing to you about the Lucy character? What made you go “I totally love
this person”?
Kristen
Wiig: After doing and seeing the first one and loving the movie, when
they asked me to be a part of the second one, I just said yes. I don’t
think I even knew much about the character. I knew they wanted to make
her very enthusiastic and that’s an understatement. She has a lot of
energy, because she has to be able to bring Gru back, and at the same time,
have the personality that he would be attracted to. I have never played
anyone like that before so it was fun.

You and Steve both have sketch comedy experience and come from
that background. I know they allow ad-libbing a little more for live
action, but with animation the budget and time schedule are different. Was
there room for it in this film?
Wiig: I would read the script as
written, and the script was great. And then, I would try it a bunch of
different ways. They would need me to try it a bunch of different ways
for editing purposes. A lot of times, they would just say, “Okay, now go
crazy or have your take on it.” It was a mix, but it was mostly by the
script.
Did any of the ad-libs make it in?
Wiig: Yes, but I can’t think
specifically what they are right now. I’m sorry. I only saw it
once.

With Anchorman 2, you
get to work with Steve and a bunch of very funny gentlemen. What’s that
experience like to come into number two and go to town with these guys?
Wiig:
I’m totally completely flattered. I said yes before I knew. Anchorman is one of my
favorite movies. I love all of those guys. I think it was my first
day, and they were all there in their costumes and the cowboy hats and the
vests and everything. I was like, “Oh my gosh, I’m actually here and
that’s really them.” I geeked out for a minute. I couldn’t believe
that I was there, and to be a part of it is very surreal. I can’t wait to
see it and have it come out.”
