I heard the concept and I was like, ‘I’m not really interested in this movie. I don’t want to be doing a movie with a teddy bear.’ But then my agent said, ‘Just read the script’ and I said, ‘Okay.’ I read the script. Thirty pages into it, I forgot that it was a bear. I thought, ‘Wow, this is a great buddy movie and I really get the dilemma’.
