“The funniest thing is Bryan Lourd my agent called me, he had just met Amal at some other thing and she was like, ‘Yeah I am going to go to Como with a friend of mine,’ and he called me up and he said, ‘There’s a girl coming to your house that you are going to marry.’”

“I was like, ‘You’re an idiot. You know that’s not going to happen,”‘
