Judd Apatow’s latest film
Trainwreck is packed to the brim with some of the finest comedy talent in Hollywood. But according to Apatow himself they all pale in comparison to one of the film’s lesser renowned actors: a certain LeBron James.
Following the release of
Trainwreck's first trailer
earlier today,
The Hollywood Reporter published an interview with Judd Apatow in which the filmmaker reveals that the basketball icon has proved to be just as funny as all of the plethora of comedians that appear in the film. Discussing the feature's experience in early test screenings, the filmmaker told the trade,
We tested the movie, and he gets laughter as big as anyone. LeBron is a very strong actor, and he has a fantastic sense of humor. We do a lot of improvisation, and he was really good at it. As a result, it’s a really fun, wild, slightly strange performance that really scores.
