We laughed all the time when we were making Step Brothers.

But even though it’s ridiculous, over the top, and very broad comedy, it was a very personal project for me too because a lot of those stories were from my own childhood.

I wrote that script with Will [Ferrell] and Adam [McKay], so it ended up feeling like a really personal project to me.

You know, I don’t want to incriminate anyone but certain things happened with drum sets in the household, growing up…



It really felt like a satisfying and fulfilling film to make because I got to participate so much in the creation of it.
