Should it be The Dewey “Cocks” Story?

The première of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story was quite a show with peeps showing quite a lot. “It’s Christmastime, and it’s my present to America — an enormous amount of naked women and men,” writer/producer Judd Apatow was quoted by the New York Daily News’ Rush & Molloy as saying. “It’s about time we saw some naked men. It shows I’m not sexist.” The movie’s star, John C Reilly, couldn’t agree more: “We’re very proud; there are a lot of cock in this movie.”

Major monkey mojo in Walk Hard

It seems John C Reilly signed on to Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story for the chance to get his vocals on along with his mojo. “I was thinking about Hamlet, which is a great story but it’s got no music,” Reilly, who’s been nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance, told Parade magazine. “I really wanted to sing and play the guitar. And I get to run around in a sumo diaper and scream like a dinosaur from the top of a building. That doesn’t happen to me every day. Then there were the loves scenes.” Reilly elaborated: “There was so much sex I think they had to save some of it for the DVD. It was insane. In one 24-hour period, I made out with Cheryl Tiegs, Cheryl Ladd, two Playboy playmates and a chimpanzee.” Continuing about his primate mate, Reilly said: “I have a scene where I kiss him. We really bonded, and in the first take, I just kind of treat him like my only friend. But the director, Judd Apatow, said, ‘Maybe you should be mean to him.’ So we did another take where I lose it and yell at him. I thought, ‘He’s just a chimp, he won’t know the difference.’ And he got this shocked, hurt look on his face. So I had to give him a big hug and let him know I was just acting. By the way, he now has a bit part in Speed Racer. He’s got a big career ahead of him.”

John C Reilly’s rockin’ rear

You’ve seen him in Boogie Nights, Chicago, Talladega Nights and many other movies, but did you ever know that John C Reilly has a phenomenal fanny? According to Jenna Fischer, who costars with the stud in the upcoming comedy Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, he does. "John has a great butt," Fischer told Us magazine. "That's his butt in the movie. I want the world to know that John C Reilly has a mighty fine tush." And that’s not all, he’s got an arsenal of animal noises to let loose in the boudoir. "During that first seduction scene, John played around with all these sexy animal noises,” Fischer revealed while discussing the film’s sex scenes. “First he growled, and I reacted by saying ‘Oh, My Tiger!’ Then he pretended to be a horse; ‘Oh, my Stallion!’ Then he quacked and I said, ‘Oh! My... Duck!’ But that was left on the cutting room floor." Too bad, coulda quacked up some laughs.
