When the actors were asked to respond to the question, “You should tell someone if they have bad breath,” the subject of kissing co-stars came up. Both actors agreed with the assertion and admitted that they would ask someone if they wanted some gum rather than tell them they had bad breath.

He further revealed they were shooting for the 2011 film We Bought A Zoo. The actor said,
