Clement’s Double Life

“One of the reasons I went into comedy and acting was that I was sick of being shy,” Flight of the Conchords star Jemaine Clement tells the Guardian’s Killian Fox. “I guess I have an extrovert side and now I get to channel it.” Clement, who stars in Dinner for Schmucks, with Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, next plays a villanous alien in Men in Black III. “I have these prosthetics over my face and body. I’ve been travelling to the States for the last few months just to try on different prosthetics. Then I go home to New Zealand and have a totally ordinary lifestyle where I’m changing nappies and going to the park.” Dinner for Schmucks opened in the UK on September 3. (29 August 21)
