What’s harder to do—a death scene or a sex scene?
Love scenes, just because they’re embarrassing. I did a love scene inThe American, which was challenging, especially when you’re 50. I died in The American, though you don’t really see it. And I was blown to bits in Syriana.

Did you cry when you saw yourself die?
No. The last time I really cried at one of my movies was at the premiere of Batman & Robin. I thought that might be the end of my career and I might have brought down a franchise, and I wept.

You cry over your soon-to-be-dead wife in The Descendants, and it’s very touching.
You know what? I covered that poor woman in ­onions, and when I went down to kiss her, massive tears. That’s how I roll [laughs].

Did you cry when you were on The Facts of Life?Let me tell you—I was on the show a year and a half, and there was one scene where Tootie and Jo were having an argument with Natalie, and I had to break it up. That’s easily some of the best work I’ve ever done [laughs]. I was fired from The Facts of Life. They did a reunion show and asked if I wanted to come do it, and I said, ‘You know, you did fire me.’

You did a lot of TV before starring in ER.
On ER I had, by far, the smallest part. But I knew that if you play a pediatrician, it automatically makes you likable. In the first scene, I’m drunk. In the second scene, I’m hitting on the ­nurses. But at the end, I’m like, “Don’t touch that kid—not tonight, not ever,” and everybody says, “Ohhh, he’s a good guy.” You can do anything you want as long as you’re nice to kids.

In The Ides of March, you play a candidate for president, which raises the inevitable question: Will you run for elected office?
No. The truth is, I really enjoy my life. And it doesn’t look fun to be in politics right now. I couldn’t imagine living under that kind of microscope, where not just things you do but things you don’t do are held against you. So, no.

If this is true then my sincere sympathy goes out to that poor actress. It's bad enough she had to stay up all night before the shoot to look like a corpse, and she rarely even got a mention in the credits, but she had to be covered in onions. She deserves if not an award than a purple heart. LOL

I think he was joking, Cindigirl.

Come on, cindi. Don't you know when George is pulling your leg.

He's not about to cop to doing a real emotional scene without some kind of help. He doesn't toot his own horn, about how good he is.

Thanks ladies I knew it wasn't true. I was just putting myself in her position and totally freaked myself out. Not even for George would I allow myself to be buried in onion fumes. Although patty, I would allow George to 'pull my leg.' LOL

Thanks lolo for the George video on crying. I cry at animal movies too because they always turn out to be sad. Can't tolerate animal cruelty. Some say I love animals more than people. There's a ring of truth to that. LOL

And he sure gets a lot of mileage out of Batman. That's his standard comeback.

I never thought he was all that bad in Batman. I thought the script was weak. IMO the ex-governator was awful and killed the film.

I'm with you blu. But then I've always thought Arnold is a terrible actor.

I agree. Though sometimes it would be interesting to read a totally serious interview and not pertaining to Sudan.
