"I Love You Phillip Morris" features trademark Jim Carrey hilarity, only with more "graphic gay sex"

I just read the original article you linked to, and the "Same as playing any other kind of man." quote was by Ewan:

One audience member asked McGregor what it was like to play a gay man.  
"Same as playing any other kind of man. It was never awkward to kiss or cuddle." 

 

Carrey, on the other hand, followed that up with a much more juvenile followup to that classy quote:

 "Hard to let go of it, though," joked Carrey

 

Don't give Carrey more credit than he deserves.  He obviously skipped out on his Big Gay Role media training.

Less of a comedy than a hilarious tragedy, "I Love You Phillip Morris" stars Jim Carrey in his most complicated comedic role since "The Cable Guy" and as a character so criminal and gay it will leave auds both laughing and stunned. The rawness of the script by helmers Glenn Ficarra and Jon Requa and sexual bluntness of Carrey and Ewan McGregor's onscreen romance could limit the film's exposure, but curiosity about Carrey's "conversion" will be a big draw. And no one can say that all involved weren't swinging for the fences.

It seems like Carrey's typical humor. "hard to let go of it." could be teasing McGregor's status as The Hot Scott. But it also works as sarcasm, because we know Carry's straight, but the humor wouldn't be there unless we beleived there some essential irony: that he might actually enjoy cuddling with McGregor. I applaud Carry for that, it's a line of humor that Leno or Letterman would never take.

After rereading that article it sounds as if Jim Carrey might be joking that it's hard to let go of the kissing and cuddling, right after Ewan says that it's not akward to do those things. Hard to tell if you're not actually there, though.
