The Celebrity Truth

We caught up with Justin Long and Ginnifer Goodwin, from the hit flick ‘He’s Just Not That Into You’, and talked about his former pet rabbit named Nubs and that they’re both “professional liars.”  Read the chat after the jump.

The pair previously co-starred together in the hit tv show ‘Ed’ and have been touring the world promoting their latest movie and answering non-stop relationship questions everywhere they’ve been.

The Celebrity Truth:
Hello!

Justin Long (setting the scene):  We’re all naked from the waist down.

Ginnifer Goodwin:  I’m from the waist up.

TCT:  I didn’t realize that was a condition of entry for the interview.

JL: It’s just to make it more free and open.

TCT: Just try to keep you eyes from wandering down.

JL: If it drifts south of the equator we’re not going to judge you.

TCT: Now Ginnifer, I heard you’re knocking back a trip to the zoo?

JL: She has issues with the animals, as do I but I heard that they treat them really…

GG: No comment!  I’m not a soapbox vegan but I don’t like that animals are taken out of their natural habitat.

JL: Alot of them are taken out and saved.

GG: Sure, and those cows want to be milked…

TCT: You two seem to have become experts in answering relationship questions since this movie’s release.  Are you over it?

GG: No we love talking about love. It’s just funny that anyone would want to listen to us because we’re actors and we should not be the poster children for a healthy relationship.  And we’re professional liars too which I find hysterical.

TCT: Have you ever told a lie in an interview to see how far it would go?

GG:  I actually don’t.  I don’t answer questions that will violate my privacy and so I will detour and sometimes I’ll start rumors just in an effort to distract.

JL:  There was this gossipy journalist the other day and we’d been sort of warned about them and I said if they asked too much about our personal lives or people we’ve dated we would just start a rumor that Ginni’s dating Christian Bale and I’m dating Laura Linney.

GG:  I thought I was George Clooney?

JL:  Oh, Bale’s just been on my mind.

GG: Well me and George and Christian are going to have a polygamist relationship.

JL: What was the question again?

TCT: Rumors.  Do you lie in interviews?

GG: Laughs.

JT:  For Die Hard I did, just to entertain myself because I have no patience and have ADD.  I was doing interview after interview and wanted to see how long I could go.

I described the movie with me playing a young Philipino boy struggling with his sexual identity and he has to save all this money for a sex change operation because he feels like he’s in the wrong body and he meets Bruce Willis’ character and they go on this adventure together.  For myself I would just keep this going to see how long I could go without them stopping me and usually I would get 10 to 15 seconds in and start laughing but a few times with a straight face they would just look at me and say ‘Mmmm, ok’ and it would just go on and I would be like “I’m kidding!”

GG: We’re getting the wrap up.

JL: Quick questions, go for it.

TCT: Give me a piece of advice from your parents?

JL:  Follow your heart.

GG:  Actually I got that one too, and here we are!

TCT: Have you ever stolen anything from a hotel room?

JL: Yes.

GG: No.

JL: What? Oh…

TCT: Have you ever ran up a massive room service tab?  I’m trying to panic the reps from the movie company…

GG; Yes, but only with permission.

JL: I’m very cheap so when we go on these press tours I love to take advantage of the freebies.

TCT: Finally, I’ve heard about a pet rabbit of yours Justin.

JL:  Oh Nubs! 

GG: Quickly, one sentence…

JL: I love animals, I can’t tell this story in one sentence! I basically, to cut a long story short, I bought a rabbit with no hind feet and I called him Nubs and he lived for quite some time and he was awesome.  See, I like animals too and I saved him from getting eaten by snakes.  Nubs is the best.

TCT:  Thanks for the six minutes!

JL & GG: Thank you.
