(Below is and excerpt from a larger article which is linked above.
I only used the question posed about the actors experience with the
ferret used in the movie. Tom Kasner, It's a Ferret Life)
Jennifer, I don't know if you are aware of this, but you are in “Ferrets
Magazine” this month.
JENNIFER ANISTON: I didn't even know there was a ferret magazine.
That is very exciting. You know, I feel sad for the ferret because
I wasn't a big fan of the ferret. It's not the warmest, cuddliest…
BEN STILLER: I don't feel bad for the ferret.
JENNIFER ANISTON: It bit you, that's why. But yeah, of all the
animals out there to work with, a ferret wouldn't be my first choice.
But you know, I hope I pretended as though I really liked it.
You were bitten?
BEN STILLER: I was bitten by the ferret, yeah. I didn't do anything,
I swear. It was really weird. We were doing this final scene where
I come running after [Jennifer]. I'm holding the ferret and I also
had just gotten a root canal the day before, so maybe it sensed that.
I was holding it up [and] they are weird because... Do they have spines?
Because he did this crazy turn-around thing and he literally attached
himself to my chin. And then he didn't let go. He was holding on to
my chin. It was this surreal thing, where it's like, “Okay, the
ferret's on my chin.” Then I had to go and get a rabies shot.
JENNIFER ANISTON: Who wouldn't?
BEN STILLER: But I didn't provoke it at all. Their teeth are
sharp like razors. They are rat-like creatures, let's just face it.
JENNIFER ANISTON: It's just a big rat at the end of the day. |
