00:01Shrek, the new comedy from PDI Dreamworks, features one of the most unusual casts in recent memory, the big, green,
00:09smelly Shrek himself, his hilarious sidekick, Donnie, and the sassy princess, Fiona.
00:18Really, I was looking for a challenge, frankly, without giving too much away, I wanted to play someone that ordinary
00:23people could relate to, and plus, I got to kick some butt, you know what I'm saying?
00:29Behind the scenes, Donnie and Shrek's relationship started out on rocky ground.
00:34Ah, you definitely need some tic-tacs in sight.
00:36No, perhaps, thanks.
00:37He was kind of a pain at first, but became really good friends.
00:40He's really fun around Halloween, being all green and ugly and stuff.
00:43Oh, you're expecting Prince Charming.
00:46Well, it was Shakespeare, or was it Kermit, who said, it's not easy being green.
00:52I have to disagree.
00:53I think it's very easy to be green.
00:56It's very easy to be big and green.
00:59There was nothing easy, however, about doing his own stunts.
01:03I broke every bone in my body.
01:06You know, ogres have 15 more bones than humans.
01:10Donkey was happy to watch for the sidelines as his stunt double did the dirty work.
01:14There's actually a couple of gnomes in the suit, some great special effects.
01:17But for Princess Fiona, it was just another day at work.
01:20Yes, I did all the stunts in this film.
01:23It was very exciting.
01:25But I did learn a little bit of kung fu.
01:27After watching Charlie's Angels, I was well impressed with the girls' work in that.
01:31Being stars in a major motion picture has turned the actors' lives upside down.
01:36Being an ogre movie star is not all glamour.
01:39There's a press junket, photo shoots, private jets.
01:45Hence, I met the president last night.
01:47Thank you very much.
01:48I ran till Thursday.
01:50And in the future for Donkey and Fiona?
01:52Yeah, I'm cutting an album right now under the name Little MC As.
01:55Look, you love this woman, don't you?
01:57Yes.
01:57Then you got the, got the job.
01:59A little time to death.
02:01Jakes love that romantic crap.
02:03Snow White and I were planning on a remake of Thelma and Louise.
02:08Their professional paths may take them apart in the future.
02:12But for these actors, Shrek has been the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
02:17Man, here's this romance.
02:18Of course.
02:20I'm just finding a weird I could be in trouble.
