Watch! Jim Carrey Talks Playing Gay, Creative Love Making In ‘I Love You Phillip Morris’

Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor’s long-delayed, prison love movie I Love You Phillip Morris finally hits theaters today, and it is a warped, crazy few hours. It’s like Burlesque meets Green Mile with a dash of Toy Story 3 and a hit of acid.

Behind some of the more campy, flamboyant aspects and quirky situations though, the story has a lot of heart. Unbelievably, the movie is based on a real case (there really is a Phillip Morris) which you’ll constantly be reminding yourself of the entire film. Jim Carrey plays Steven Russell, a con-man who falls in love with Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor) in prison, and then spends the rest of the film finding innovative ways to bust out of the clink to be with the man he loves.

Will Pulos sat down with Jim a little bit ago to talk about the real life Steven Russell, his steamy love scenes with Ewan, and how he was inspired by Larry Kramer’s Faggots.

Then they threw me back in solitary.
