Dermot Mulroney said he knew what it was like not to do another acting role for a year after 1997. My best friend’s wedding.
The actor, who starred alongside Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Rupert Everett in the Oscar-nominated rom-com, recently told The New York Times That despite being a hit, he got very few acting opportunities after its release.
“I was sitting there with the purchase ready for a gift that was supposed to come along with being in a popular movie, and instead, I didn’t work for maybe a year,” Mulroney explained. “I chalked it up to being too short on the poster, the little guy on the cake. I thought, God, you guys, if you made me a little bigger, maybe I’d get the job.”
My best friend’s weddingThe PJ Hogan-directed film follows a woman who realizes she’s in love with her longtime boyfriend when he announces his engagement, leading to their wedding just days away. Trying to win her first.
However, Mulroney found a way to continue his Hollywood career after the 1997 hit, going on to star in dozens of other projects. And recently, he returned to the romantic comedy genre Anyone but youBK (Sydney Sweeney) plays the father.
As a rom-com veteran, he also revealed that Times that he shared some advice with the film’s second lead, Glenn Powell, about the effects of such films.
“I didn’t want him to do what I did, which was to minimize how important something that might feel light or frivolous when you’re doing it,” Mulroney said. “‘What these films mean to people,’ I told Glenn, ‘will last for decades.’ It’ll last until you go in a way that maybe the other cool stuff he’s doing won’t. There’s a different kind of absorption.”
