Amy Adams Interview For The Muppets

I used to walk around the house going "wakka wakka wakka" and I don't think anyone thought it was that cute, but I did. And to see a six foot poor man stuck in a couch is really something to behold. I heard that Jason and Kermit sent you a video to convince you to be in the movie. But, had you had any reservations about it, or would you have? Once I read the script, too, I mean Jason came at this with so much love and so much joy, and I loved the Muppets growing up. So it was something that I wanted to be a part of upon hearing about it, but when they sent that, I knew I was going to do it. Were you more intrigued because you got to sing and dance? I was just happy to be there supporting the Muppets in what is their movie. I always love to sing and dance, whether somebody films it or not. It's kind of beside the point.I'm always happy to do that in a film. Was Miss Piggy threatened by you? I guess you'd have to have to ask her. I was very deferential. I was not going to steal any of her spotlight and she knew that. So, hopefully, she felt that I was just there to be in the background to support her. Did your daughter get to come to set? She did. I brought her a couple of times. She was a little young to understand. She was curious about them. But, she's come to the junket a couple times, and she thinks it's a lot of fun. So she's a fan now? Oh yeah. Somebody gave her a Kermit doll, very sweetly, gave her a Kermit doll and she was not letting it go yesterday. She loved it. Do you have a childhood favorite of the Muppets? Fozzie was mine. Really? Yeah, he was. Why? I don't know. If I think back, I liked that he told jokes and nobody thought they were funny. And for some reason I really identified that. And I used to walk around the house going, "Wocka Wocka Wocka." And, I don't think anyone thought it was that cute. But I did. Do you have a magical memory from the set to share? There are tons of magical moments. But for some reason I feel the need to throw Jason under the bus. We were sitting down, and every once in a while, because of working with Muppets, you have to have a fake bottom on something. So there's room for you know, the puppeteer and Jason didn't know that there wasn't a bottom under the cushion and he sat on the couch and fell through. And to see a six foot four man stuck in a couch is really, it's really something to behold. And I heard that he cried the first time he did the table read with Kermit. Did you get to see him being emotional at all? I did. He celebrated his 31st birthday on set. And, it was the night that we were shooting on Hollywood Boulevard. And we all sing Happy Birthday like, there was, I don't know how many background artists and all the dancers and all of the muppets were there, so I think that, I know he was very happy.
